Our nation recently finished developing a arm plasma cannon. The plasma cannon is attached to the armor and when the soldier squeezes the part near the hand it sucks in air, compresses it and heats it up until the atoms break down. It then releases plasma with the maximum killing range being 100 feet, it can have a sustained blast for 10 seconds, at which point the heat is transported via chemical reaction to partially recharge the battery. The plasma cannon is covered by the armor and goes the whole length of the arm with the air heating bank ontop of the arm. Because of it's short range it is meant for as close range weapon, possibly for urban war fare or the protection of enclosed spaces. Are there any questions about the weapon?

OOC: If this is godmoding I am terribly sorry about it and will delete the post, encase people are wondering how a nation this young is researching such things, we have almost no standing military so we have more funds for technology and science.

OOC: Naw, seems alright, I mean with the range I think it would be better suited to industrial purposes. But I suppose if you could get close to enemy armor it would do a number on it.

PS: never admit you have no standing millitary.

OOC: It probably wouldnt be if your nation had any actual money and the ability to spend it. CAC uses plasma instigators and shard-missles in rare cases only despite its enormous spending on military and military research and 2012 timeframe. This is mostly because plasma weapons, unless self-contained due to insane electrical energy in the blast, are pretty much useless except at igniting things with high flashpoints, eg, ammo stockpiles of technologically advanced nations. That could be considered current tech, although a wasteful, largely stupid use of it.

OOC: Thanks

IC:

Mind a plasma cannon goes hand and hand with the armor we developed wich is light and very resistant to bullets. As for admitting about our military, we are defended by other nations and once we make more advances we will have a very formidable army.

Official Statement from The Proletariat Commonwealth of The Island of Rose:

Very nice. Very nice. Will you selling the weapons soon?
-Minister of Commerce: Nikolai Geoff

just to let you know, we are on our way over to kick your butt and take your weapons!!!!!!!!!

Ah good, the twenty plasma troops will be waiting in the bunkers for you. We shall also inform the union. :)

Very nice. Very nice. Will you selling the weapons soon?
-Minister of Commerce: Nikolai Geoff

Yes, but be warned this is a rather expensive weapon for the use as a hand weapon

The Protectorate of Archidamus is sending the 9th Armor Division to your aid. We are currently mobilizing the 4th Marine Division. Tactical Battle field Nukes are online and ready for deployment in case of worst case senario.

Thanks for the help!

From Colonel-in-Chief
Brute Force,Minister of Defence,Dominion of Apathilazia:

When R&D is completed,our Armed Forces would be interested in negotiating a suitable trade agreement to acquire some of these weapons.While we are not known as a warlike nation,defence is an integral part of our infrastructure.Any advancements in military equipment are necessary to keep pace with neighbouring states and provide deterrent to armed incursions into our territory.While the effective range of your weapon appears to be quite limited,enough of them located in strategic locations could provide sufficient firepower until heavier reinforcements arrive.The ability of the weapon to function without having to stock ammunition is an attractive feature as it provides better mobility for the troops to whom they would be issued.
Please TG Apathilazia if a suitable trade agreement can be negotiated.

Sincerely,
Brute Force,
Colonel-in-Chief,
Ministry of Defence,
Dominion of Apathilazia.

Northwest Utopia, stand down. It isn't worth it

What is the rate of fire? How long do you have to wait before you can fire it again after the first shot?

The Empire of Fate and Honor is sending Legions I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, and X (120,000 men) and a carrier fleet to the nation of The Mighty Quin to halt the spread of this new weapon. The world is full enough of weapons, and new technology such as this is bound to spread into more forms of WMD's. Should The Mighty Quin decide to continue producing this weapon, and encouraging its' proliferation the Empire of Fate and Honor will put boots on the ground. Our forces will arrive in a few days. Should your nation choose to avoid forced disarmament, simply end all production and allow inspectors.

High General Tobius
Supreme Commander of Fate and Honor Armed Forces

Gur-Di-Pin is sending it's entire submarine fleet and our 1st Marine Brigade (about 1,600 Marines). Gur-Di-Pin is also will also send over the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Divisions (about 20,000 men total) as soon as possible.

Enemies of my ally! Hear this!
You cannot possibly win.
You WILL be crushed by our combined forces.
WE WILL FIGHT YOU! AND WE WILL CRUSH YOU!

We aren't a violent nation, and the region we belong to is against imperialism. Do not attack us. We also will absolutely not let anyone into our scientific bunkers.

1.5 seconds, it takes time for the coolant to cool it down.

What is the deadline for compliance?

OOC: Although I'm not going to do anything about it, your an august nation and you have one post, your not stopping anyone from doing anything, so pipe down until you have enough of a millitary to make a difference.

In response to the deployment of Gur-di-pin the Empire of Fate and Honor is also deploying 5 Nuclear Submarines (Armed) to the region. The Emperor has also personally directed the deployment of the 1st Mechanized Division (70 M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tanks, 300 LAV APC/Fighting Vehicles, 200 M151 "MUTT's") to the region. The Emperor wishes for this new terrible weapon to be scrapped, and hopes for peace.

We aren't a violent nation, and the region we belong to is against imperialism. Do not attack us. We also will absolutely not let anyone into our scientific bunkers.
We are not coming as Imperialist, we wish for this weapon to be destroyed. If force is required we will disarm the Nation of Might Quin from this weapon and re-establish its' legitimate government. The Deadline for compliance is 24 Hours (10 Real Life Minutes).

High General Tobius
Supreme Commander of Fate and Honor Armed Forces

*Sigh*

We shall comply as long as you promise to not search our facilities.

Yevon of Spira is intrested in the mechanics of this new weapon. We are a largly military force, yet we believe that there are industrial uses for the cannon too. Currently our nation is researching space-age weapons and further knowledge of this weapon would prove usefull and defence would be your reward in return. The defence that would be provide does not just stand for this conflict, but any conflicts that we support you on.

The Emperor is joyous seeing as your nation has complied without violence. Since there will be no searching of the Scientific Bunkers, any future development of this weapon will be met with immediate reprisal through military force. Should you chose to allow Inspectors, it will greatly increase the trust between our nations. All combat units have been recalled because of this compliance.

Alexius Julii
Foreign Minster, Imperial Courts of Foreign Ministry

The 4th and 5th Marine Divisions have been mobilized (close to 27,000 Marines including medical staff) plus, the 9th Armor division (250 M1A2 Abrahams, 1 repair battalion, plus a supply company). The Porter Carrier Battle Group is on the way, including 3 carriers with a complete compliment of fighter aircraft. My long range B-15s are being armed with battlefield tactical nukes as we speak.

Fate and Honor. You are a dimunitiive and small nation of a mere 8 million people. I could have you crushed with a snap of my fingers. STEP DOWN!

All personell have stood down, are on high alert. Advise all nations do the same.

Mighty Quin. Repeal your compliance. You have our support. I alone could cruh those who are attacking you.

I agree. All units standing by...awaiting your orders.

We are appalled by this, what right do you have to dictate to a soveriegn nation what it can and cannot do, this nation has harbored no aggression against your nation but yet you find it neccesary to threaten an invasion.

This is statecraft of the worst kind, Wirraway would like it to be known that The Mighty Quin may continue whatever projects it is working on, if Fate and Honor armed forces so much as touch your nations territory we shall come to your aid and crush this war-mongering bully and burn his cities and homes to piles of smouldering ash.

You have been warned Fate and Honor.

We have decided to do a mix, we will take back all of the plasma cannons in the center of our bunkers(5 miles down, dug by criminals)

OOC: Although I'm not going to do anything about it, your an august nation and you have one post, your not stopping anyone from doing anything, so pipe down until you have enough of a millitary to make a difference.

I have been able to purchase military equipment from my allies, I am also a 1 month old nation (so I'm not that new...I hope). And in case of any misunderstanding, my entire submarine fleet consists of a measly 3 Virginia class submarines (sorry about any misunderstanding).

P.S.
I haven't posted on the NS forum because their hasn't been anything worth posting about. Until now that is.
Again. Sorry about any misunderstanding (I was in a bit of a hurry when I mentioned my forces that I was sending).

The Mighty Quin, the nation of Defectiveness feels that the recent threats against you due to the development of this new weapon is not to be tolerated. We pledge monetary and military support in fending off any and all invaders. A large portion of my standing military force has been dispatched. The 4th, 5th, and 7th Infantry, and the 8th and 9th Armored shall arrive within the next day, followed shortly by the 1st and 2nd Infantry and the 5th Armored. (Total: about 60,000 men, 15,000 armored calvarly.) Also, tactical nuclear warheads have been prepped for use, should it come to that.

Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Military in Defectiveness.

And that accomplishes what? Don't let yourself be bullied out of this. Mass produce and sell them. My Defense Department gauruntees support.

As the most secure and most militaristic nation here, I am making a statement to Fate and Honor. Any further agression, verbal, militaristic, threats, or whatever will result in the complete destruction of your nation and it will be I who installs a new government.

OOC: np, I think I was overly harsh, just wait until your at least 3 months old before you start really throwing your wieght around, it just makes you look silly trying to do it at such a young age.

Enter full scale-production, we are most interested in obtaining this weapon.

Dear sirs:

Thank you for the answer to our inquiry. We would be interested in a technology sharing arrangement with your nation. We too have plasma weapons. They are held and used much like conventional rifles. Our weapons have liquid nitrogen chilled components to protect against the melting/warping of them that could occur at the extremely high tempratures generated by the plasma discharge. To create the plasma discharge, compressed helium is superheated by a laser until it "blows" its electrons and breaks down into superheated plasma which is then discharged by the weapon. It has an effective range similar to your design with a slightly higher (approximately 0.6 - 0.75 second) rate of fire due to the use of the liquid nitrogen as a cooling agent for the weapon. Rather than clips of bullets, our soldiers using these weapons carry clips of compressed helium cannisters with approximately 50 plasma blasts per cannister being available. The power to generate the laser comes from highly efficient battery cell technology. If you are interested in sharing our technologies to develop even better weapons, please let us know. Also, if you need assistance in defending your nation for those idiot nations that are afraid of new technology rather than seeing its potential uses, please let us know. I have no doubt our king would authorize the deployment of troops, planes, etc. With a population of 524 million, on the very foolish would take us on without expecting a significant loss of life and resources.

We back down from all comments and the armed forces have been withdrawn. We thought we were doing an honor to the international community by getting rid of a new weapon of destruction.

Thank you all so much for defending us. We can't really defend ourselves so we must rely on the help of others.

Thank you all so much for defending us. We can't really defend ourselves so we must rely on the help of others.

The defending of sovereign nations from un-deserved aggression is a service that the Concordiat will always willingly provide.

OOC: np, I think I was overly harsh, just wait until your at least 3 months old before you start really throwing your wieght around, it just makes you look silly trying to do it at such a young age.

Alright. Thanks for the advice, and the apology.

Thank you and Congradulations to all of the anti-imperialistic nations who helped in this victory over oppresion. May we be able to return the favor someday.

Hear! Hear!

Thank you all so much for defending us. We can't really defend ourselves so we must rely on the help of others.

It is our honor to defend a soveriegn nation against the aggression of nations who feel they can bully others into agreeing to their demands.

On a side-note, Defectiveness would be very interested in purchasing these plasma weapons. Please notify us by TG when you are in full-scale production.

We would be happy to share with you as long as our region agrees to this. Yes we are very interested in this but it seems that your technology for plasma is more advanced in every way than ours.

Wirraway:

You ready to crush some beligerant newbie nations? Quinn, you just give the word and Wirraway and I will ensure you are protected and free to develop your technology. I now have the king's backing to send a 2 full carrier divisions if need be and up to 150,000 troops (many of whom will be armed with our plasma weapons).

Dear sirs:

This is only because you are a small nation who has just embarked upon the research. We have experience that can assist you and you have fresh new ideas that when coupled with ours could easily turn out to the benefit of both.

The Iron Concordiat will willingly send 4 Armored Divisions and 7 Infantry divisions along with one carrier Battlegroup to help ensure the safety of Quinn should he accept our offer.

I love how everyones forgotten my widespread use of plasma and plasma weapons, and a glaringly obvious 'secret' that eliminates the cooling and power problems(although I've NS patented the tech for that part anyway.......)

I also like how people get worried over a weapon that doesnt have the range to act as a sniping weapon, and also lacks the refire rate for close quarters combat.
