Uniphase Armouries Interversal, Kanuckistan's cheif military contractor, is currently seeking to feild-test a selection of arms in real-world battlefeild conditions, as well as promote our product with potential custumers abroad.

With this in mind, 75 lots have been allocated to be given away, at no cost, to interested nations. Those seeking to employ these weapons in actual combat are eligible for upwards of 10 lots each; others are restricted to one lot.

Each lot consists of the following:

600x AES-12
50x RAT-5c + 500x Belts
15x RAT-2a + 1'500x Rounds
1200x KBM Type-32
500x WPFM mkIV
500x BLM 9
250x KC-56 + 12'500 Drums
250x KBR-95 + 25'000 Mags


Details of lot composition are as follows:

----------------------------

AES-12 'BlueSky' Shoulder-Launched LiDAR-Guided Anti-Air Missile
-Combact, man-portible, desposible weapon system; high-explosive fragmentation/white phospherous hybrid warhead on a proximity fuse set to detonate on closest aproach or impact. Can be set for surface-to-surface impact-only detonation for use against infantry or light vechicles.

---------------------------

RAT-5c 60mm Recoilless Anti-Armour rifle
-Shoulder-fired smoothbore, 30 round belt-fed semi-auto, utalises caseless shells, muzzel-break, and semi-open back to negate recoil. Fires shaped-charge armour pircing rounds. Effective range 2 kilometers.

---------------------------

RAT-2a 120mm Recoilless Anti-tank rifle
-Shoulder-fired smoothbore, 2-man fire teams(gunner, loader), utalises caseless shells, muzzel-break, and semi-open back to negate recoil. Fires shaped-charge armour pircing rounds. Effective range 2.5 kilometers.

----------------------------

KBM Type-32 Fuel-Air Explosive grenade; releases both heavier and lighter-than-air high-energy combustible gasses after 3 seconds, auto-ignites after 15(both fuses can be adjusted in the field as-needed). Gasses are both scentless and invisible. Electronic fuses can be adjusted in the feild; morion sensor included.

---------------------------

'Inferno' White-Phospherous Fountain Mine(WPFM mkIV); Light, frisbee-like mine with varrible time-delay arming, 5 meter proximity fuse(physical presure-fuse backup), and robust non-metal construction. Triggering throws ignited white phospherous in a circular pattern, upwards of 25 meters away and 15 meters high. Extream fire hazard and devistating against unarmoured personel and vehicles; armoured personel and light vechicles can be servearly damaged at close range. Internal mechanical orientation sensor and dual-plane heads insure against accidental upside-down placement, tho there is an external override switch to allow overhead placment.

--------------------------

BLM9 Foaming Explosive + Detonators(timed and wireless remote). Similar to foaming shaving cream and the ilk, save it quickly hardens in 5-15 seconds to the conststany of hard clay. Often used for demolotions or ad-hoc adhesives. Can only be detonated electricly or with another explosive. Comes in 500g cans; aproximatly 1.125 times the power of conventional C4.

---------------------------

KC-56 .50 Cal Recoilless Assault Carbine with intigrated 20mm 'Cannon' firing High-Explosive/Incindinary rounds
-Heavy carbine utalising caseless rounds, muzzel break, and extended open-backed barrel to negate recoil; side-mointed 'butt' gives this weapon a distinctive look(the barrel extends back under the arm to vent reaction gasses). 30 round drum-fed(.50cal). Safe, semi-, 3 round burst, full-auto firing modes. 5 round side-loading clip(20mm), semi-auto only.

--------------------------

KBR-95 'Kaber' Caseless Battle Rifle.

The Kaber is a rugged 6mm multi-role weapon utalising a top-loading 50 round magizine that sits paralell with the barrel. 6mm round balances optimum ballistic properties with improved lethality over NATO standard calibre.

Calibre: 6mm

Effective Range: 980m

Clip: 50 rounds

Rate of Fire: 600 rnds/min

Firing Mode: Safe/Semi-Auto/Quad-Burst/Full-Auto

Recoil Supression: Intigrated Hydrolic Recoil Dampening and removible Muzzel Break

Add-ons Included: Scope(conventional or laser), silencer, 40mm underslung grenade launcher, anti-optics pulse laser(direct hit disables most optics and will perminantly blind people).

~Incomming Electronic Transmission~
Consider myself interested. I have a war I need to fight elsewhere anyway. Let's just say it will be perfect for testing these weapons. Expect the war to happen tomorrow.

We are currently in a war and would love to test them out for the invasion phase of the war which will probably coming up in a few hours or a day.

DemonLordEnigma;

You may take delivery of one lot now, and the ballance upon the initiation of hostilities. Please provide delivery instructions.


Tanthan;

You may take delivery of 10 lots at your leasure. Please provide delivery instructions.

IC: You can deliver it to our national airport you will already be cleared to land with the cargo.

~Incomming electronic transmission~
We have several transport ships landing. Load the weapons up in them.

Although it is the policy of New Exodus to take prisoners whenever possible, it is also the policy of the military to do what is necessary to win. These weapons, especially the Recoiless Anti-Tank units, are just what we need. Once field testing has commenced, we will be likely to wish to purchase the weapons in bulk, or if possible, purchase production rights to ensure a steady supply for our troops.

--High Marshall Liang Wu, New Exodus Peacekeeping Command

We would be happy to provide cargo planes to transport the weapons. Please designate an airport or airfield.

The Republic of Kyanges is interested in taking these new weapons out for a little action.

Delivery instructions are simple. A flight of An-225s, will land at whatever runway you specify. The weapons will then be loaded on them. An-225s will take it from there.

That is alright, is it?

A charter airline will be transporting them via a modified 747 varrient; they should be arriving soon.

Please direct them towards HappyFunLand Isle; it's the one shaped like a giant skull off the northeastern Kanuckistani mainland.

It is standard policy to manufacture our own product, tho production rights to ammunition would be quite reasonible - likly at no cost beyond a small er-unit royalty.

Per-unit prices are still being finalised.

Please direct your aircraft towards HappyFunLand Isle; it's the one shaped like a giant skull off the northeastern Kanuckistani mainland. You will be taking one lot, correct?

The New Exodus cargo planes arrive over the ocean, having flown from the Crazed Marines islands. Once the weapons are loaded, the planes will return once more to the CM spaceport, and the cargo will be launched up to the New Exodus colonies at Lagrange Point one. The planes began circling on their final approach.

"Geez," one of the pilots commented, "Strange shape for an island named HappyFunLand."
"Eh, maybe they have a different concept of fun than we do."
"Oh?"
"That, or it could be like with Greeneland and Iceland. You give it a nice name so people will move there. Then, once they realize they've been screwed, its too late."
"I hope that mentality doesn't apply to us."
"Amen to that."

OOC:
Actually, it's a result of our early nuclear weapons program(and a slightly eccentric General), both in shape and name. Over 600 years ago, however, so the radiation is only minutly elevated.

Several Tiamat Taveril ships land, the crews opening the ships up to recieve their cargo. The crews look bored, uninterested, and just want to be done with theiir jobs. Not much would come from this group in conversation for right now.

OOC: Just FYI a 20mm rifle (not a grenade) would obliterate the gunner's shoulder without proper recoil reduction. I see no way that your current system would reduce the felt recoil of your 60mm and 120mm rifles to less than that of a 30-40mm bullet (not a grenade), meaning it would probably blow the gunner's arm clean off, or atleast shatter the bones into little tiny pieces, so in conclusion try to add a few more safeguards and recoil dampeners to said rifles, so that the men carrying them don't become single use weapons.

The Democratic Imperium is most interested in aquiring these weapons.

OOC: It's great that our troops can finally have MORE firepower on the battlefields then they already choose from. Carry as many guns as they want/need + the standard model. The grenades seem the coolest though.

Shenyang however would be interested in aquiring these weapons, and giving them some combat testing.

Staff seem scarce but prove more than adiquate to their tasks, assembling crates of munitions in short order with a sort of passive seriousness, allowing the ships' crews to load their own vessels if so desired - security seems equally scarce, if exceptionally well armed and professional, but there is an air about the place that seems to sugest a far more potent defene than what is readily seen.

OOC:
Do some research into anti-tank recoilless rifles; they're been around for a long time.

And they're shoulder-fired, like a bazooka.

One lot has been allocated; you may pick them up for testing at your leasure.

OOC:
I'm proud of those grenades; one of my favorite creations. Tho the mines are really nifty too, imo.

OOC: Missed the recoilless part in the name, give me a break it was like really late when I posted so I was half asleep.

What? You ranted, I pointed out what you had overlooked. I didn't give you a hard time about it or anything.

OOC: Sorry, I've just been out of it lately. Thanks for correcting me.

IC: Preliminary computer tests of field performance are looking good so far. We may buy more if the results carry over into field tests.

I must wonder how a 120mm recoiless is in any way man-portable. I've never seen a recoiless that size, but for scale, does this 104 recoiless look in any way man-portable, bearing in mind the project was scrapped for damaging the airframe?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v453/GMCMA/Other%20stuff/104.jpg

Even if you manage to defeat the problem of lugging around a weapon the size of a small aircraft, what possible advantage could a team lugging around a tiny number of horrifyingly heavy 120mm shells have over a team with lighter AMAT weapons they could transport more easily or, hell, a light towed anti-tank gun would would probably still be smaller? Same for the 60mm, really. Those kind of sizes are better suited to armoured vehicles which can use them far more effectively.

OOC:
That is indeed a monster, but far removed from such as we produce; to use an RL comparison, look at the Carl Gustav recoilless rifle - 84mm calibre, but only a meter long and 8.5kg in weight, with a 4kg round.
