The Samusland Combat Technical Staff(SCTS), has been working on new forms of armed combat for over a decade. Three years ago, they had made military-grade prototypes for over a hundred new vehicles, guns, and tanks. Today, in the 21st century, these new units are now available, and are on the market. (Note: Please do your own math.)





Title: M110 Howitzer
Category: Heavy Tank
Capacity: 12 units (including operators)
Operators: 4(gunner, loader, driver, and commander)
Range: 1000 yards
Ammunition: 203 mm FD-12 Heavy Explosive Shells
Average Cruising Speed: 50 mph
Top Speed: 80 mph
Price: $3.5 million each




The M110 Howitzer is designed to be a long-range, quick-strike vehicle. It shoots explosive shells at distant targets in high, arcing trajectories. Some Howitzers with larger artillery mounts such as this one need tracks to propel and guide them along. The large cockpit can carry five units, and the adjoining mini-bunker can hold seven. Each howitzer comes with 15000 rounds of ammunition. You may purchase an additional bundle of 1000 rounds for $10,000.

Title: Nora .55
Category: Semi-Automatic Handgun
Capacity: 1 clip
Clip Capacity: 10 bullets
Range: 200 yards
Price: $200.00



The Nora .55 is an old model that has been reconfigured. It is a perfect weapon to distribute to troops for sudden, short-range fights. (Keep in mind that this is an alternate weapon. This should not replace a soldier’s primary firearm.) New features include a military-grade silencer, a more accurate sight, and larger-capacity clips.


Title: (none)
Category: Heavy Aircraft Carrier
Primary Operators: Crew, Air-boss, Pilot, Captain
Defense: Military Aircraft, 4 under-side torpedo launchers
Capacity: 50 aircraft, two hundred ground troops
Cruising Speed: 42 mph
Power Source: Nuclear
Price: $3 billion



Although our aircraft carriers are expensive, they are well worth it in the heat of combat. The cost includes several defense aircraft: two F-14 Tomcats, and three E-2C Hawkeyes. It also carries six SH-60F Ocean Hawk helicopters, which hunt down submarines and rescue pilots who have suffered crashes. These ships are propelled by five massive, nuclear-powered propellers, giving it a record-breaking top speed, and 300,000 horsepower. The aircraft carrier has a capacity of fifty aircraft. Our newer model also has space to transport as much as two hundred ground troops. The six-story ‘island’, or control station, has the most cutting-edge, state-of-the-art technology, including expanded-range radar, superior navigational computers, and infrared beams for night-site. Another feature is the six aircraft catapults, capable of launching a fighter into the air, from 0 to 150 mph in three seconds.


Title: F-16 Skyrunner
Category: Defense Aircraft
Capacity: 1 unit
Operators: 1(pilot)
Range: Varying
Ammunition: A-34 Dexer Guided Missles, Standard F-16 Bomb
Top Speed: 250 mph
Price: $15 million



The F-16 Skyrunner is primarily a defense craft that gives up the multiple aircraft weaponry for flight speed. Perfect for defending bases or for quick-strike attacks on lightly defended buildings. The twin jet engines in this aircraft give it overwhelming speed, and the newly-produced heavy tracker missiles give it superiority over the enemy.


Title: Convair F-111
Category: Military Stealth Bomber
Capacity: 2 units
Operators: 2(pilot and co-pilot)
Range: Varying
Ammunition: DC-22 Heavy Bomb
Average Speed: 130 mph
Price: $20 million


The Convair F-111 Stealth Bomber is one of the newest units produced from our laboratories. It’s slow, as aircraft goes, but speed is not necessary. This is a high-flying aircraft designed to drop bombs on distant ground targets. The Convair contains very high-tech equipment for flight, such as infrared cameras for precise aiming, and sensitive velocity control. Another feature of this craft is that it can slip through enemy radar nets without detection.


Title: C-16 Stinger Missle Launcher
Category: Portable Missile Launcher
Capacity: 2 missiles
Operators: 1
Range: 300 yards
Ammunition: SCF-22 Guided Missles
Price: $3000.00



The C-16 Stinger is a lightweight, portable missile launcher. It can be operated by just one soldier, but it also comes with additional features like a tripod and an attachable grenade launcher. One of the primary features is a topside targeting scope, one of the best in its class. The C-16s use advanced tracking missiles, and are usually used for taking down low-flying airplanes, but the grenade launcher is perfect for ground targets, as well. They are heat-guided by infrared sensors, so the target-locking is a snap.


Title: (none)
Category: Military Submarine
Capacity: 150 units
Operators: Varying
Range: Varying
Ammunition: D-16 Torpedoes, Heat Mines, JR-17 Anti-Ship and Land-Attack Cruise Missiles, A-111 Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles

Length: 107.6 m(353 ft)
Price: $50 million



Our new submarines use the most high-tech equipment for navigation and communication. With its strengthened titanium frame and crew of 150, this type of submarine has been known to make it around the world twice, completely submerged at depths exceeding 1500 feet. The advanced NAVA computers are fed information from satellites orbiting the earth, which now give distance in meters instead of kilometers for more precise measurements. These subs are nuclear-powered, a big advancement from diesel submarines. The weapon systems include dozens of torpedo and missiles launchers, along with heat mines. For the crew, there are dozens of activities to endure during the long, monotonous periods of time spent underwater. Among other things, there are libraries, swimming pools, greenhouses, recreation rooms, and air conditioning.


Title: M-2 Ransom
Category: Armored Infantry Vehicle
Capacity: 12 units(excluding operators)
Operators: 6(Gunners[3], commander, driver, cannon loader)
Range: 900 yards
Ammunition: 25-mm standard cannon ammunition, N7-F missiles, standard heavy machine gun clips
Average Cruising Speed: 55 mph
Top speed: 70 mph
Price: $2 million




The M-2 Ransom Armored Infantry Vehicle has the same form as most other ground transports used in the army. However, expanded cabins allow them to carry more troops, and the transports are even faster than the base models. They are designed to carry troops through a battle while protecting them from attack. Some added features include: two rotating machine gun turrets, realigned shocks for better stabilization, and rapid-fire cannon.


Title: (none)
Category: Humvee(High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle)
Capacity: 8 units(including operators)
Operators: 2(driver and gunner)
Range: Varying
Ammunition: Machine gun clips, N7-F missiles
Average Cruising Speed: 60 mph
Top Speed: 110 mph
Price: $150,000




The newer model Humvee has been tested time and again, and has always come out on top. It is the most rugged and versatile vehicle we have ever built. This agile vehicle can be used for many things. For example, troop transportation, cargo transportation, and it can be used as an ambulance, judging from its huge back quarters and considerable speed. It has a top-side, 180-degree rotating machine gun turret, which can be easily and quickly replaced with and anti-tank missile launcher.


Title: (none)
Category: Cruiser
Capacity: varying
Operators: varying
Range: up to 128 km
Ammunition: R3-17 Guided missiles and E-53 torpedoes
Average Cruising Speed: 30 knots
Price: $21 million



Our new cruisers have the same basic objective as other cruisers: to escort air craft carriers. The guided torpedoes and missiles help destroy threatening targets from such a distance, that attempts to knock out an air craft carrier will be almost completely forgotten. The cruiser’s nuclear reactor helps it travel at amazing speeds of 30 or more knots.


Title: (none)
Category: Destroyer
Capacity: 400 units
Operators: varying
Range: varying
Defense: 5-mm guns, cruise missiles, antisubmarine helicopters, Phalanx system, torpedoes.
Average Cruising Speed: 30 to 33 knots

Soon after the submarine was introduced in naval warfare, the destroyer was invented. They have intense underwater detection systems, and extensive sonar. Destroyers are used as protection for bigger, less heavily defended ships. It’s a fast, agile ship with many weapons systems, including the Phalanx system, which is a series of close range weaponry. In short, the destroyer is an excellent escort and support ship.

Title: C-130 Hercules
