The Allanean Department of Education is creating a contest for an M16-pattern select-fire rifle, preferably one using 5.56 mm ammunition. The best one will be bought by the Department for it's new special program, namely our new HighSchool Marksmanship program. A-NRA (Allanean National Rifle Association) officials will also attend the event.

We see our assault rifle has many of the features you are looking for in it, plus it is rather inexpensive. We would like to point out that it is ambidextrous, and very durable. Best yet, the multiple ammo feature means you can use it for various caliber comeptitions, but train with the same gun for familiarity.

We might also add that we use it for the same purposes you do!

RelicArms RIW-5 Bullpup Assault Rifle (http://www.freewebs.com/bluebomber/storefrontweapons.htm)
The only assault rifle in NS with the ability to accept almost any type of ammo! This assault rifle can easily be incorporated beside your current one, as it can use the same ammo. Its ability to use different ammos lets you use captured munitions easily.

1) Quick change barrel systems lets you use almost any ammo. Carry around the right size barrel, and you can use the corresponding ammo. Obviously it works with any assault rifle ammo, as that was what the original design called for; however, its ability doesn't end there. Pistol ammo has been fired through it. Full size rifle ammo has been fired through it (with 30.06 it has been described as reminiscent of firing a BAR from WW2 era, but more accurate). With a smoothbore barrel, we have even gotten 12-gauge out of it. This flexibility means you can switch ammo as you switch tasks!

2) The clamp and reciever are one in the same, and resize to fit new sizes of magazine. Pulling back on a lever causes the device to dilate to its maximum, at which point you put in the magazine. Releasing the lever causes the assembly to grip the magazine in place, ready for firing. This process only needs to be repeated when changing to new magazine types, once it is fit to a certain type of magazine it retains that shape until a new one is desired. The gun can accept box or belt styles magazines, unfortunetly drums and more obscure types are impossible.

Range: Dependant on ammo type.
Magazine Capacity: whatever compatible magazine is being used
Firing Modes: Safety, Semi, Burst(3), and Auto(800 cyclic)

Features List:
-Ambidextrous, adjustable without tools by user.
-Waterproof.
-The inside is coated with teflon, so the gun never needs oiling.
-Super tough! It has a dense polymer outside strong enough to protect it from repeated sledgehammer impacts. This gun is tougher than an AK series, and can be fired after presumeably decades of full combat wear and tear.
-Inside there is a tiny bell made of heat sensitive metal, it serves the purpose of distinguishing betwen friend or foe when firing different calibers, and to audibly warn you when the gun starts to overheat(like say after firing an entire 200 round MG box).

The New standard assault rifle of the Bayortan Armed Froces. The R-04 is not simply an overhaul of the R-03, it is a completely new design with only similar grips and magazines being used from the R-03.

When the rifle was first announced it was originally intended to be a new bullpup design based almost entirely on the R-03. Many problems were encountered however and so it was eventually decided that the R-03 design needed to be scraped. Enter a new Bayortan team of scientists with vast experience of Russian weaponry. The team knew what they wanted to do and set to work on it straight away. A lot of money went into development of it, however the end result surprised many, including some members of the development team. Unlike the R-03, the R-04 manages to sustain a consistent rate of fire. It also manages to gain an extra 100 metres in effective range.

Once the rifle was accepted and the rough edges were ironed out, rigorous testing was performed on it. No problems were encountered. The new rifle quickly gained its reputation as being extremely reliable and now it is rapidly replacing the R-03. It is now available to the international market.

Doesn't ANYONE make M-16 clones anymore?

Caliber: 5.56x45 mm (.223 Remington)
Action: Gas operated, rotating bolt
Overall length: 680 - 762 mm

The first carbine version of the M16 assault rifle appeared under the name of CAR-15 in 1965, an was intended for US Special Forces who fought in Vietnam. The original M16 was simply shortened by cutting the half of the lenght of the barrel (from original 20 inches to 10 inches) and by shortening the buttstock by another 3 inches. The butt was plastic and retractable, the handguards were of triangular shape and the flash hider was of original three-prong type. Based on the origunal CAR-15, Colt quickly developed the CAR-15 Air Force Survival Rifle, intended, as a name implied, to serve to downed airplane and helicopter pilots. This version had tubular handguards and metallick tubular buttstock, and fo some reasons the pistol grip was shortened.

Initial combat experience with CAR-15 brought up some problems. First, the carbine was too loud, deafing the firing soldier quite quickly. Second, the muzzle flash was also terrific, blinding the shooter at night and giving avay the position of the shooter to the enemies. Colt partially solved this problem by installing a new, longer flash suppressor. This version, known as the Colt model 609 Commando, also carried new handguards of tubular shape. This model was officially adopted by US ARmy as XM-177E1. This wersion had M16A1-style receiver with forward assist button. In the mid-1967 Colt slightly upgraded the Commando by lenghting the barrel up to 11.5 inches (292 mm), and this version was adopted as XM-177E2.

Later, with the introduction of the M16A2 and M16A3 (flat-top) models, Colt also changed the design of itys Commando line, adding three-burst options and flat-top receivers with Weaver-style rails.

Current Colt Commando carbines (Colt still called these Submachine-guns) are based on either M16A2 or M16A3 receivers, and had 11.5 inch (292 mm) barrels with M16A2-style flash suppressors, and available in either 3-round bursts or full-auto versions. Colt Commando carbines are used by various US Special Forces and by some foreign forces, including Israei ISAYERET.

From the technical point of view, the Colt Commando is similar to contemporary M16 rifle, having same light alloy, two parts receiver, direct gas operated, rotating bolt action, with non-reciprocating charging handle at the rear of the receiver. The telescoping buttstock is made from metallic tube. Due to recoil spring, located inside the butt, the Commando cannot be equipped with side- or underfolding stock withouth some redesigning. Currenly Colt Commando assault carbines are issued with standard M16-type 30 round magazines, but any other M16-compatible magazine can be used, including the 100-rounds Beta-C dual drums.

The Allanean Department of Education is interested in those rifles.

Please give us a price quote on 40,000,000 rifles.

Wow, that's a lot of guns ...

That's about 20 billion, but we can't produce that many!
You sure?

Well, think off it:

The Allanean Empire consists of Allanea and three more nations it owns.

The total population estimate is circa 4 billion. How many people do you think we have in highschool? How big is the MOE budget? :wink:

I think we should be putting a purchase this big in a separate thread, though.

The nation of Jeruselem cannot produce the guns by ourselves, but our fellow nations Holy Lation Empire and Tailand (which are my other puppets, pops 1.6 billion) will produce the guns as well.

At the fastest rate of production, 40 million guns will take 5 years of production running at 100% efficiency. 8 million guns a year OK? This includes cleaning out reserves.

Yes. Think we should have special thread for the beginning of the program, as this is a real epic thing for my country.

For an extra 2 bil - you go start it.

*money wired*

No problems, starting factories up in all puppet nations (4 billion+ population combined)

Our steel industry is very happy and our armed forces have a bigger budgets.
