Bombs, Guns and Tanks
This is the storefront of Intelligent Neighbors. The IG18 tank was developed jointly with Gesselshaft. The bombs were developed with Cornixpes. There will be more stuff added.
There are no pictures because I only have 56K so it would be too slow.
Please do your own math here, I do not have the time to spare adding up the totals.
Bombs
Phosphorous Tank Buster Bomb - $10,000
A standard tank buster bomb with phosphorous powder packed into the front. The bomb penetrates the armour and then the head explodes, blasting the phosphourus powder around the inside of the tank. Phosphorous powder burns for a long time and so will eliminate the crew and damage the internal workings of the tank.
Napalm Bomb - $10,000
Napalm is made from a mixture of 25% gasoline, 25% benzene, and 50% aluminum or polystyrene soap as a thickener. It is a flammable mixture that flies across a large area when the bomb hits, then the fuel is ignited and there is a extremely large fire now raging there. Extremely effective against troops, but also good against tanks and buildings.
Napalm/Caesium Bomb - $20,000
This is like a Napalm Bomb except that there are lumps of caesium in with the napalm, when the napalm ignites, the caesium doesn't because the layer of caesium oxide on the surface of the lumps prevents the caesium from igniting. If someone tries to then put out the Napalm with water, the caesium reacts violently and this can cause severe burns.
Caesium Anti-ship Bomb - $60,000
This bomb has high amounts of Caesium in it and is designed to be dropped in the water near the ship. The Caesium reacts very violently with water and will punch a hole in the ship or create a huge wave that will swamp smaller ships or wash over larger ships.
Hydrogen anti tank missile - $30,000
This bomb uses the gas hydrogen to create an explosion.
The tip of the bomb pierces the tank and fires a needle like object back into the bomb. This creates a spark which ignites the hydrogen. The blast is funneled through the tip and so goes int the tank.
Thermite mine - $15,000
The thermite mine is activated by remote pressure and creates a chain reaction within the components. The pressure starts the blow torch inside which ignites magnesium. This heat creates the thermite which can burn through almost anything. It then finally ignites the petrol which explodes the mine catapulting thermite everywhere.
Sodium Chloride bomb - $10,000
This is a small bomb that can be dropped from a plane. Inside it has two sections divided by a sheet of glass. On one side is sodium and on the other is the flammable gas, chlorine. On impact the glass breaks and the sodium mixes with the gas and it explodes. The result also involves many shards of glass flying hundreds of feet around the area.
Guns and other infantry weapons
Stick grenades - $200 for crate of 10
Grenade on a stick. Used by german forces in WWII
Hand grenade - $250 for crate of 10
Standard modern grenade, used by modern forces
AK47 - $200
This is a very reliable gun, it will not break very easily. It is cheap and is commonly used with terrorist groups. It was designed in Soviet Russia by Kalashnikov.
AK74 - $300
This is the upgraded version of the AK47 and is equipped with a smaller calibre bullet. It is still very reliable. This gun comes with a bayonet.
AK101 - $350
A slightly upgraded AK74, it uses the standard NATO round. This comes with a bayonet and a sight.
AK105 - $400
A shorter AK101, still comes with bayonet and sight.
M16A2 - $300
Assualt rifle used by the US forces. Accurate.
Tanks
IG18
The Federation of Intelligent Neighbors in collaboration with Gesellschaft has developed a tank to use in their armies. It combines superiority with cost effectiveness. That is to say it is a tank that is good enough to use as the main force of an army, and it’s cheap enough to use in large quantities.
This tank is based upon the Chinese Type 98 tank. It does however use superior armour and weaponry.
Armour
The armour of this tank incorporates titanium encased depleted uranium armour. Armour and bulkheads separate the crew compartment from the fuel tanks. The armour is mainly based on the Chobham design and features layers of ceramic composites. For an extra cost, the top panels of the tank can be designed to blow outwards in the event of penetration by a HEAT projectile.
Armament
This tank is fitted with a 125mm smooth bore gun fed by a carousel autoloader. This gun can fire conventional shells (HEAT), depleted uranium shells and anti-tank missiles.
The commander has a 12.7 millimetre calibre Browning M2 machinegun with a 3x magnification sight. It can rotate 360 degrees and can change its elevation from –10 to +65 degrees.
The loader has a coaxial 7.62 millimetre machinegun.
Engine
The engine for this tank is a 1,200 hp al liquid cooled diesel engine and its very economic due to the relatively light weight of the tank in comparison to other modern tanks (it only weighs 50 tons)
The maximum speed is 55mph (on road) which is quite fast.
Self defence
These options will cost extra money.
There is a laser-warning receiver (LWR) behind the commander’s hatch and a high-powered laser weapon behind the gunner’s hatch. There are also smoke grenade launchers on the side.
Testing information
We decided to test this product by firing at, and taking fire from different tanks. We decided to test it against M1A2 Abrams and T-72 tanks.
Against the Abrams, the IG18 could penetrate the rear and, to an extent, the side armour using depleted uranium shells. It could not penetrate the front. The Abrams however could penetrate the front armour of the IG18 using conventional shells, but only about 50% of the time.
Against the T-72, the IG18 was far superior, it could take out the T-72’s from any side with ease, but the T-72 could only take out the IG18 from the rear on a very limited number of occasions.
We learnt from this that while the IG18 is not as advanced as the Abrams, it could still compete fairly well against them.
