Welcome to the Calios Storefront!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's correct... Calios is bringing you all kinds of supplies, be it military or civilian. We seek to bring you the best that technology and agriculture can buy. That being said, here's the list!

*Everything comes with a 2x scope, unless otherwise noted*

Infantry

AMP-5 Auto-Pistol
http://members.lycos.co.uk/s2s3npuu/1AMP.bmp
Calibre: 9mm or 10mm
Firing Modes: Semi-Auto/Burst/Full-Auto
Magazine Size:30 Rounds for 9mm and 20 Rounds for 10mm
The AMP-5 is designed for close range combat only. It is a fully automatic pistol that supports any user for its ambidextrious (left and right handed) grip, and can empty a magazine in under five seconds. The only problem is the recoil, causing it to be very inaccurate over short ranges when fired in full auto.
Price: 750 USD

EO-Beamer Pistol
http://members.lycos.co.uk/s2s3npuu/1Beamer.bmp
Calibre: Energy Pack (Anti-Infantry or Anti-Vehicle Packs available)
Firing Modes: Semi-Auto
Magazine Size: 20 Shots (10 for AV)
The EO-Mark (Energy Operated) pistol uses energy instead of standard solid ammo, giving it more flexibility than other pistols. Since it uses energy, you cannot fire more than 10 shots in rapid succesion (5 if you use AV rounds). If you do, the weapon will overheat and a manual cool-down will occur, leaving you defenseless. Still, a breakthrough weapon.
Price: 1250 USD

Mk. III Cycler
http://members.lycos.co.uk/s2s3npuu/1Cycler.bmp
Calibre:6.62mm
Firing Modes: Semi-Auto/Burst/Full Auto
Magazine Size: 50 Rounds
The Mk. III Cycler is one of the fastest firing assault rifles, firing 750 RPM, meaing it'll go through it's ammo in under 2 seconds. Hidden inside the top of the barrel is a 4x zoom scope, for accurate firing in semi-auto or burst mode. It uses a cylinder drum for its ammo source.
Price: 1750 USD

Jackhammer v. 2
http://members.lycos.co.uk/s2s3npuu/1Jackhammer.bmp
Calibre: 8 or 12 Gauge
Firing Modes: Semi-Auto or Tri-Shot (fire from all three barrels simultaneously)
Magazine Size: 12 Shells (both gauges)
With good ammunition and a decent rate of fire, the Jackhammer v. 2 is Calios' new primary heavy assault weapon. In the alternate firing mode, it swiftly discharges shells from all three barrels, but they must have time to reload after the discharge.
Cost: 2250 USD

GL-13 Thumper
http://members.lycos.co.uk/s2s3npuu/1Thumper.bmp
Calibre: 20mm Grenades
Firing Modes: Delayed or Impact Grenades
Magazine Size: 6 Grenades
The GL-13 Thumper is an extremely versatile grenade launcher because it can launch 4 different grenade types; frag, incendiary, plasma, and jammer. Thus, if an operator keeps many grenade rounds in his or her inventory, the weapon can quickly be swapped to meet almost any situational need.
Cost: 2750 USD

EO-Lancer
http://members.lycos.co.uk/s2s3npuu/1Lancer.bmp
Calibre: Energy Pack (only anti-vehicular packs available)
Firing Modes: Recharge (wait for 3 seconds between shots)
Magazine Size: 5 Shots per pack
The Lancer is a shoulder mounted EO weapon mainly used for anti-armor operations. It is specifically designed to inflict the most damage to armored targets, though you can use it for anti-infantry needs (if you're desperate).
Cost: 3500 USD

OOC: If you can't back up what you have to say, then don't say anything at all. You know as well as I do that we don't like "These weapons suck, because you're a n00b!" That's downright n00b right there, too.

Perhaps he's referring to the actual weapons in the game Planetside, eh?

Don't worry, as soon as you grow up you get to call people noobs too


What was the mark again, like, 200 million people?

I dunno, since my nation is small (only around 12-15 million). And yes, some of the weapons on PlanetSide do suck if your computer is slow for hefty graphics (like mine, *sigh*). As soon as I get more weapons on here, at least it'll be a good shop like some others.

I think the main problem here, is that these weapons are all either, supremely big, or minicule, get something in between ,like a rifle or somethin.

I'll try and do that, but since I don't have an image provider (that's free) and I gotta use my friends, it's gonna be a wee bit hard.

Yeah, they're pretty bulky. Even the AR (Cycler) is waaaay too big for average soldiers. Also, 250 RPM is not very fast. The AK-47 can fire at 600 RPM.

In actuality (sp?), they aren't really that bulky, they only look bulky. If you go to the PlanetSide homepage and look at the pictures, they aren't that huge.
