The first completed product of the fledgling Nimzonian State small arms industry is now available for export! The Republic of Nimzonia is eager to see its first domestic military product perform in foreign theaters of war.

Behold, the NSAAR1 Assault Rifle, already adopted in the Republic as RSA4.

http://www.kings-kingdom.net/upload/uploads/em2.jpg
(Note: picture is actually British EM-2 prototype; sue me, I couldn't be bothered to draw my own ;))

Caliber: 5.56mm
Action: Gas operated
Overall length: 889 mm
Barrel length: 623 mm
Weight: 3.41 kg with empty magazine
Rate of fire: 600 rounds per minute
Magazine capacity: 30 rounds

The NSAAR1 is a bullpup layout rifle, designed to be cheap and easily constructed for mass production, and is ideal for countries who wish to equip large standing armies quickly and at low cost.

The weapon is fitted with non-magnifying optical sights for faster aiming, as well as backup iron-sights, and can also be fitted with a bayonet. It is, unfortunately, not compatible with the M203 or other underslung grenade launchers, although it does accept M16 magazines. It can be fitted with a bipod and 100-round drum magazine, for use in the light machinegun role.

The weapon is exceptionally reliable and dust proof, and is particularly suited for the arctic theater, where it has undergone extensive testing. It has selectable semi-automatic, 3-round burst, and fully automatic firing modes.

The current drawback of the design is the lack of available accessories, although the State Armouries are looking to address this problem in coming years, if the rifle is a commercial success.

The NSAAR1 ships at $450 per unit. Each unit is shipped with bayonet, detachable bipod, and two magazines.

The NSAAR1 100-round drum magazine is sold separately, at a cost of $10 per unit.

Large orders will take longer due to our relatively small production capability.

UPDATE: 5/3/2004

Nimzonia has also completed development of a new submachinegun, the NSAMP-Tactical, which is now being supplied to Nimzonian security and counter-terrorist agencies, and has been issued to armour crews and logistics personnel, as a PDW. After the success of the NSAAR1, Nimzonian State Armouries offer the NSAMP-Tactical for export.

(Note: Image is Russian Bizon PP-19)

Caliber: 9mm
Weight: 2.1 kg without magazine
Length: 425 / 660 mm (buttstock folded / open)
Rate of fire: 600 rounds per minute
Magazine capacity: 60 rounds
Effective range: 100 metres

The NSAMP Tactical has a folding buttstock, and high-capacity (60 round) helical magazine. It can be fired in semi-automatic and fully automatic modes.

Ships at $250 per unit. Each weapon is supplied with two magazines.

Nimzonia assures potential buyers that we have signed no treaties prohibiting the sale of weapons to any particular nation or group of nations, and therefore no background checks will be required.

i shall take 2,000...thank you money wired on confirmation

Catania-Marinov: 2000 units is easily within our production capabilities, and will be dispatched shortly. Thank you.

Total, $900,000.

And Community of Gleph Forces will take 5000 of your Fine rifles, if you please...Money also wired on conformation...

Our nation would like to take a trial run of 100 units to test the weapon in battlefield conditions near our homelend.

If these trials are successful, our defense forces would be willing to purchase up to 30,000 units with a possibility of further orders in subsequent years.

Gleph: 5000 units shipped for $2,250,000.

Schultaria Prime: $45,000 for 100 units. Nimzonia looks forward to hearing the results of your tests, and the possibility of a large supply contract in future.

Our region whishes to purchase 5000 of your weapons for trial purposes. If these go well, we may decide to make your weapon the standard weapon for regional forces, in which case you can expect some more, extremely large orders.

Money wired on confirmation

We would be interested in 30,000 NSAAR1 rifles, which would permit 10 more divisions of infantry in our military. The $13,500,000 will be wired upon confirmation. However, we'd like you to send the rifles to the specified coordinates instead of directly to our nation. We can pay an extra $1,000 for these procedures.

We wish to purchase 13,500,000 to arm our CETR branch of our military.

# of Rifles: 13,500,000
Total Cost: $6,075,000,000

Money wired upon confirmation.

United Molenhoeks: 5000 units shipped for $2,250,000.

Iron Fragment: While this is highly irregular, we are willing to comply, in order to secure such a large order. $13,501,000 confirmed.

Scellia: Our current rate of production is 200,000 units per year, so we will have difficulty filling your order. However, since you have shown interest in purchasing such a vast quantity of our product, we are willing to consider licensing Scellian companies to manufacture the rifle, for a limited period. We await your response, to begin negotiating a contract.

If we add $5,000,000 to help your industry will they be able to produce all the rifles we need within the next year? If so then the Industrial Aid will be added to the cost.

If we add $5,000,000 to help your industry will they be able to produce all the rifles we need within the next year? If so then the Industrial Aid will be added to the cost.

Even though major growth is expected in our arms industry over the coming decade, we will not possibly be able to fill such a large order in so short a time. It would be mutually beneficial, if Scellian companies were licensed to produce the NSAAR1, but even then it is unlikely that 13,000,000 weapons could be manufactured within one or two years.

I doubt even the largest peacetime economies could cope with an order of that size in just one year. For example, the german wartime industry of 1939-1945, which had been preparing for war for several years, and took the german economy to ruin, produced 14 million rifles over the course of six years. A nation of our size cannot hope to equal that. We are sorry, but an order of 13 million rifles, is going to take a considerable amount of time to fill.

Side Note: That pre-WW2, this is modern day. Mass production, more workers, and better technology makes more rifles a year.

We would like 10,000 rifles please.

We will also take 10,000 of those 100 round magazines as well.

Money will be wired upon confirmation.

Side Note: That pre-WW2, this is modern day. Mass production, more workers, and better technology makes more rifles a year.

Well, comparison to WW2 isn't going to be perfect, although your point isn't entirely correct; 1930s-40s germany, especially during wartime, would have had far more munitions workers than Nimzonia.

Anyway, back to business.

10,000 NSAAR1 rifles - $4,500,000
10,000 100-round magazines - $100,000

Total, $4,600,000 confirmed.

If your economy cannot handle the load then Scellia may be forced to look elsewhere for cheap weapons, we do not have massive factories lying about waiting to churn out cheap goods. The retooling nessesary would require massive amounts of time and money. We are willing to pay you half now and half when we get the weapons, you can put the 3 Billion and change into your economy to boost production. If our order cannot be filled within the next three years we will seriously look and withdrawing the order.

OOC: Germany is also a lot smaller in size then we are, remember that the entirety of Europe doesn't fill the continental US. Also the boost of more then 10% of your budget should give you the resources needed. You can always claim that you subcontracted out to other nations beside the buyer.

The Schultarian Government has come to its decision on the further purchase of said Assault Rifles.

The results of our weapons tests were as follows...

"The Schultaria Prime Defense Forces have successfully completed testing (Codename 'Nativa') with said NSAAR1 Assault Rifles and reached the following decisions...

1. Range testing proved the weapon's accuracy to exceed defense force standards in both shoulder fired and bipod based semi-automatic and burst modes. Fully automatic fire was tested to a considerable extent, and was found to be satisfactory in extreme close fire situations of under 100 meters.

2. One major drawback of the weapon proved to be the overall weight of the rifle. Nonetheless it was that same weight which proved to be a successful factor in recoil control and range testing.

3. Chemical immersion tests were completed with 10 rifles in several corrosive situations. With general corrosives, such as direct exposure of the action to dissolved saline, the rifle performed with roughly a 5 to 10% reduction in rifle life and range; nonetheless, the actions within the tested rifles was easily repaired.

4. Field Maintainence of the rifles, under combat conditions, proved to be a rousing success. The troops who used this rifle only complained of the barrel assembly, which tended to require a higher amount of force to unscrew than seemed necessary.

-Overall this weapon proved well in the field, demonstrated high quality in marksmanship and ease of use, and an affordable alternative to rearming our nation's defense."

Following this stamp of approval The United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime request 50,000 NSAAR1 Rifles for immediate purchase.

We regret, then, that you will have to withdraw the order. It is not so much lack of funding that makes this order impossible, but also the fact that we simply do not have the workforce to carry it out. While we would have liked to see the NSAAR1 in service with a major military power, we simply do not have the capacity to manufacture 13,000,000 weapons in three years. We apologise, but it is clear that you will have to turn to a more heavily industrialised nation to equip your military.

Following this stamp of approval The United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime request 50,000 NSAAR1 Rifles for immediate purchase.

We are pleased that the NSAAR1 performed up to your expectations, and hope that it will serve well in the defence of your nation.

50,000 NSAAR1 rifles, total value $22,500,000. Shipping to commence immediately.

i would like to purchase 50 million of your amazing riffles. I expect them to be shiped on demand. I would also like to order all the ammo i will ever need.(since you made them you can give me a estimate on ammo)

Certainly. 500,000 NSAAR1 rifles, at $112,500,000. (If I'm interpreting this correctly, and you wish to order that many).

We will not be able to ship all 500,000 units at once, but 250,000 this year, and 250,000 next year.

Please confirm.

comfirmed, would you consider putting factories in my country to build these faster?

The State Armouries could open factories in your country, which could provide a fair number of jobs for the locals. However, given the length of time it would take to build and equip the factories, and recruit a work force, it would be unlikely to speed up the production of this particular batch of rifles, although should you require further orders in future, they would be produced faster and more cheaply.

Furthermore, since the NSAAR rifle is the standard weapon for our military we would be interested in acquiring the production rights to manufacture them for ourselves.
