Searching for arms

Anubis Coalition 1

As a newly formed group, we need small arms for 500,000 men. We need a variety of rifles (about 300,000), some snipers, missile launchers, heavy machine guns, plus pistols and knives for all 500,000. OUr funding is pretty much unlimited (Money sourced from a 1.3bil pop nation, please contact for OOC information if you have doubts).

We intend on participating in world events, in unusual ways, and so we require top quality products. Another of our cells, Anubis Coalition 2 wil more than likely require equipment too at some point.

PLease no vehicles - we have plenty for our needs, donated by those self same large nations.

OOC: Even if you have unlimited funding, how are you going to staff an army that is one full tenth of your population?

Even the most militaristic nations don't have 10% of their population in the military, unless in cases of dire military emergency. You still need people to work in factories, grow food, transport supplies around, etc. Furthermore, elderly and children won't do much of anything at all.

A nation that has 5% of its population in the armed services is considered extremely militaristic.

We are actually acting as a group, not a nation. We are acting under the jurisdiction of the larger nations - hence the size. That is pretty much the size our troops wil remain at, though the size of Anubis Coalition may increase as new members join.
