The Evil Empire of Akaton has found that its infantry is terribly outdated. Though we have nearly one million ground soldiers, they fight with weapons over 50 years old. Until now, Akaton never fought in wars, and only needed ground troops to protects its arms factories. However, World War II rifles simply aren't good enough for a modern battlefield.

We are willing to pay for the following technologies:

1) Power Armor for infantry. Preferably providing full protection from small arms fire and having an integrated weapon (railguns or laser rifles would be nice). We need 4000 suits of armor for our elite strike forces.

2) New assault weapons. We request that they use caseless ammunition and have long range laser sights. We need 500,000 assault rifles.

3) We require a flying transport for our troops. It must be able to hold 20 troops in power armor, have light defense weapons, and have VTOL capabilities. We will purchase 200.

Our empire can spend roughly US$ 150 billion on this, though we may need to make several smaller payments if we become involved in a costly war.

We must revise our requests. We now only need 250,000 assault rifles. Also, our budget has been lowered to US$ 120 billion due to recent purchases.

The Dominion would like to put forth the Viking Firearms VSg-635 for consideration. Employed by the Dominion Army's front line forces, the VSg-635 fires the UCSNE-developed 6.5x50mm Caseless round, and includes a laser designator, as well as provision for a tactical illuminator. As explained below, this is a highly capable and modular weapon, and we can provide for you 250,000 examples of this weapon with all conversion kits included.

Viking Firearms Sturmgewehr-635 (VSg-635)

In the future, when a Dominion soldier reaches for his weapon, his hand will close around the grip of a VSg-635 Modular Battle System. Once that connection is made, there is little in this world that can stand against him. Built around the M6550 HVGBM round designed by the United City-States of New Empire, the VSg-635 is a fully modular weapon system intended to provide advanced tactical capability to our nation's warriors. The VSg-635 begins at the base with a heavy weapon system - In most configurations, this consists of a 20mm rapid-fire grenade launcher with a 8- or 12-round removable box magazine. Designed to fire any of the New Empire's 20mm grenades - Including their flechette, shot, or a specially designed breaching cartridge, any of which turn the weapon into a high-powered shotgun. Built in a bullpup configuration, the heavy weapon mates to the Anti-Personel weapon which lays atop it.

Instead of the standard 20mm grenade launcher, a miniature RPG launcher may be substituted. Although it does not include the same rapid-fire capability, it maintains the same high magazine capacity, and provides the kind of punch that only a 20mm RPG can give. Again, this weapon fires all the UCSNE munitions of the applicable class. Mating to the heavy weapon by laying atop it, the anti-personel weapon offers a further variety of options to the soldier that wields it. The most common is a rifle in the 6.5x50mm Caseless calibre - Again, developed by the UCSNE. Much like the UCSNE's M9 Close Quarters Battle Weapon, or FN's P90, the rounds are carried vertically in a magazine that lays horizontally along the top of the reciever. Accepting a 60-round magazine, the rifle-configuration of the -635 MBS is expected to replace the K1A2 ASLR as the primary battle rifle of the Dominion Army.

As well as the rifle configuration, there is a squad automatic weapon module with a quick-change barrel that feeds from a disintegrating link belt, and has provisions for the ambidextrous mounting of a battle box to hold the belt. Additionally, there is a 9mm submachine gun module that accepts a top-loading 50- or 100-round helical magazine much like those used in the weapons made by the now-defunct Calico corporation. In all configurations, the heavy weapon module includes an integral laser-dot projector, and a tactical illuminator may be mated to the weapon. Furthermore, all of the anti-personel weapon modules may be mated with a silencer - Including the squad automatic weapon variant.

Finally, the standard sight block is a millimeter-wave radar imaging scope which is routed through the guidance package neccesary to fire the Dominion's Precision Guided Rounds. The screen onto which the guidance package projects its information is actually the back lense of a conventional optical scope with a magnification of 3x. Should the guidance package lose power, the projection ceases, allowing the continued use of the sight using normal ambient light.

For bid 3: Our D-15 Dropships (http://www.freewebs.com/bluebomber/storefrontaircraft.htm) are among the oldest and most purchased on NS, they provide reliable transport for lots of stuff and have enough weapons to act as tank hunters :P

To Kotterdam:
We are very interested in the VSg-635. However, we cannot puchase these weapons until we know how much to pay your weapon manufacturers for the order of 250,000! :rolleyes:

To Sileetris:
The D-15 is exactly what we need. We will take 50 with space boosters and 50 without. The total of US$ 7.75 billion is being wired to your nation pending confirmation of shipment.

Look at my Terracoste and Mech storefronts. All the weapons can also shrunk to troop size and other vehicle turret size.

Akaton: Order Confirmed. The shipment will be complete within 1 NS year. Glad we had what you were looking for, and a pleasure doing business :).

To Sileetris:
Confirmation received, money wired. A pleasure doning business with you.

contract price: $1billion

If there is still budget left for this contract, the Dodekistan Research Institute's Land Warfare Laboratories would like to off a new breed of assault weapon. The M-256, which has only recently been declassified, has been issued to the Black Mambas, Dodekistan's special forces unit, for the past 5 years, and is now being issued in slightly modified form to our airborne infantry and ranger units.

The defining charecteristic of this weapon is its ammunition. It operates on a similar principle as HEAT (high explosive anti-tank) rounds used by tanks and in Hellfire anti-armor missiles. The ammunition is a cone shaped piece of copper, placed in front of a very small high explosive charge. When fired, the high explosive charge detonates. The pressure and heat of the explosion instantly turns the copper into liquid, and forces it out of the barrel at approximately 5 000 feet per second. This explosively formed projectile remains molten in the air for 500 feet, until it cools into a perfect, aerodynamically formed dart. As one might imagine, there isn't much hope for anything but heavy power armor to stand up against this round.

The weapon used to fire it is very small and lightweight. It can be had in any caliber up to .45 (this is only the case diameter, which defines how much explosive can be put into the case, length is 2.5"). The cases are strong enough to contain the detonation of the explosive. Because of this, no extra breech containment is necessary, allowing the M-256 to be very lightweight. Made of carbon fiber, the standard infantry version weighs 5.6 lbs. The special forces version weighs 4 lbs. Both are completely modular, thus can accept any additional equipment required for any given mission. It is a bullpup design, with a 40 round box-type magazine inserted in the stock.

The M-256 rifle is also notable for its electronic control. While it does have a full-automatic select fire mode, the preferred method of fire by our troops is in fully electronic, semi-automatic mode. This mode uses a 3 position servo to move the bolt and eject the shells instead of gas or recoil operation. This makes the M-256 extremely reliable. Battery power is provided by a single, lightweight lithium-ion battery placed into the grip, which will provide power for 10 000 shots. Should battery power fail in the middle of a fire fight, the M-256 will automatically switch to recoil operation. All modes (semi auto and fully auto, recoil or electronic) are capable of cycling at 800 rounds per minute. :mp5:

Dodekistan Research Institute would like to offer the M-256 Assault Weapon System to Akaton for the assault rifle contract. With your permission, we will ship 2 of the standard models and 2 special forces models for trial, along with a technical assistant to train your soldiers with the M-256 at no cost. Thank you for your consideration.

My apologies. My original intention was for the price of the purchase to be included in the original post, but I must have forgotten. The order of the VSg-635 Modular Battle System units would normally run to $350,000,000 USD, but due to the bulk nature of the order, we are willing to offer you the discounted price of $300,000,000 USD, essentially giving you more than thirty-five thousand of the weapons for free.

To Kotterdam:
Excellent, consider it a deal. The VSg-635 will round out my nation's assault weapon stockpiles. US$ 300,000,000 wired to the banks of Kotterdam. In thanks of your generous dicount, we donate the 250,000 K-98 WWII era rifles, that are being replaced by the VSg-635, to Kotterdam. Who knows, museums in your country might like them, or maybe gun collectors and radicals will have a use for them.

To Weapons Tech incorp:

We still need a power armor, and the first and third power armors are very interesting. However, we need more information than just a picture before we purchase. Specifics such as weight, armor thickness and weaponry would be nice.
