The Dumpsterdanian Empire has not expanded its army in over ten years, but now with the tyranny of several nations(NATO) we feel obliged to both expand our armed forces and conduct a full scale upgrade. We are fully aware of the amount of bullshit we will be getting over us for saying this but those persons know where they can shove their comments.

The following contracts are available:

Main infantry weapon

Must at least out-perform a updated version of the M4

Main Infantry Support weapon

Good rate of fire, no known issues with weapon jamming.

Main Infantry AT weapon

Must be able to penetrate the latest MBT armour at a distance of at least 500 meters.

Mechanised AA weapon, both guns and missile versions.

Must be able to actually down an aircraft with a good rate of success, must come with working radar.

Long range bomber

Must be able to take off and land on an carrier, multi-purpose(IE: must also be able to drop para's)

Air to Air missile.

We are already considering the Praetonian Javelin but any others are welcome too.

Note that cash is not really a problem since we have been stockpiling large amounts of cash for over ten years now to upgrade our forces with. Also note that we will take the offer that looks the best to us, so stats aren't everything and we will look at the presentation of your products.

Imperial Councillor,
Minister of Defence.

Note: some of the specifications in there may need to be updated

We have more then enough man-power for now, we choose to maintain an peace-time army of lower then 1% of our population. However, should we need some extra man-power we will certainly contact you.

Alfarius Damocales,
Imperial Councillor,
Minister of Defence.

We have reviewed both missile's from Dark Angel industries and we are impressed. However, we will see if there are any other takers for the same contract.

we are glad to hear that you are interested. We would also like to inform you that we are currently in the process of developing an Anti-Aircraft mobile weapons system. We shall apply for the contract when it is completed. Thank you once again, and we hope to hear good news from you in the near future.

We have looked at the contracts IW is gunning for and we have found their presentation highly lacking. Also, we have more then enough launchers as we ourselfs make them and we are only interested in the missile's. We are also asking Dark Angel Industries to provide battle-records where the missile's which they are presenting to us have been used and or a little more information.

Alfarius Damocales,
Imperial Councillor,
Minister of Defence.

Reason: Rescinded. I have ALOT more information regarding the weapons in text documents but if your basing it so throughly on OOC...

...reasons I don't know why you're even bothering with the post. :rolleyes:

Ah well, your choice. BTW. If the 'presentation' is in reference to the pictures... I'd like to see you make some :D

OoC: Uh no not realy, I'm not even interested in pictures(although it does add a nice flair to most posts and yours where pretty good) but I meant, gimme some detail on what your selling, hell give me a sale's talk! I want to know how good it preforms and how willingly you are selling it. So I wasn't trying to offend you or anything.

for an RP using the LRAAM and the SRAAm, go HERE (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=369900&page=12&pp=15&highlight=Dark+Angel)

it is the only RP the I am aware they have been used. Im sure that other buyers have used them, but I have not read there RP's.

(ooc: That RP is one where a faction known as Anubis Coalitions was attempting to destroy my storefront. He was rather stingy about his losses (I ended up firing something like 700 missiles at about 300 planes, but he insisted that barley any of them died. Very unlikley, considering that these missiles are fire-and-forget. Oh well lol.)

Dark Angel Industries would also like to add that we have sold over 1 million SRAAM's and over 500,000 LRAAMs and our customers have returned time and again to purchase more, as they are fully satisfied with the weapon. It is Accurate, dependable, and easily maintained. DAI has a longstanding tradition of not only producing quality weaponry, but setting market place standards as well. Always striving to raise the bar, DAI will always guarentee their weapon systems, offering full refunds on any systems that do not function to their requirments.

Mechanized AA weapon, both guns and missile versions.
M-20 Gladiator mobile AAA
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/grunt74/NS1/M-20.jpg
The M-20 Gladiator mobile anti-aircraft gun system is built on an all new purpose-built chassis and features state-of-the-art systems throughout. The main turret can swivel 1040 degrees and has pitch, yaw and roll ability. in the center of the turret, a panoramic video camera and mini radome provide guidence for the standard model's 4 rapid fire 40mm Bofors anti aircraft cannons. The crew is only 2, the driver operates a 7.62mm machinegun for self defense, while the gunner siting in safety in the armored hull, he views his target area on a pair of panoramic screens and a radar scope. He also has a FLIR system to aid in the targeting of the 6 stinger missiles. The interior is quite roomy considering, so there is space for large amount of ammo, spare treads, extra stingers, food water, even AT-4 rockets. there is enough room in the rear area for a 6foot 200lb man to sleep comfortably, or for a stretcher patient to be placed. Also the M-20 can serve as an emergency APC/medevac as it can hold 2 seated passengers in the rear compartment (instead of stretcher paitent) We are aware that many diffrent calibers of ammuniton are used in air defense artillery, so we offer the M-20 with a number of weapons options.
4 x 56mm cannon + $15,000
4 x 40mm bofors cannon n/a
2 x 30mm gatling cannon n/a
2 x 25mm gatling cannon - $7,000

SA-101 S.A.M.
The "SA-101 ELRSLAM" Extremely Long Range Surface/Land to Air Missile, has completed rigorus testing and evaluations at White Sands Missile test range in southern TPM. In the final test, the missile wowed military officals by destroying a target ballon at a record 63,000 feet. The maximum range of the missile is reported to be 65,000+ feet, making it the longest ranged missile (other than the ALMV/ASAT misslie) of our arsenal. Suprisingly, it preforms well from 1,000 feet and higher, allowing it to provide full theater defense. Most long range SAMs do not function well at lower altitudes. The ELRSLAM uses an active radar system, but can be controlled by passive radar as well. The last 20-35 seconds of its flight, a FLIR system takes over to secure a hit. Although it is a hit-to-kil type missile, it can fragment in near range of the target if set to do so remotley, the setting can be changed in flight.

SA-102 Griffen mobile towed SAM system
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/grunt74/NS1/griffen.gif
The SA-102 is the perfect system to provide theater long range defense. It is a tradtional passive radar guided, two stage anti-aircraft missile and as such it can be linked with the M-56 Straight Flush radar. This will boost the missiles range by 20 miles. The towed system, obviously does not have any secondary armaments, but the mobile system does have a few. This missile is perfect for border defense, and base defense. It has no minimum range thus it can be used against low flying threats if necessary.

Long range bomber
F/A-117X NightHawk Stealth Fighter (Attack Bomber)
http://www.af.mil/news/airman/0100/f117a.jpg
The F-117A, while a great aircraft, is lacking in many ways, especialy araments. It can never live up to the F designation or its name of "Stealth Fighter". Or can it? The F/A-117X takes the normal F-117A, replaces the engines and upgrades the radar, firecontrol and targeting systems and weapons carrying capacity. With the new weapons capacity the F/A-117X has much improved air-to-air capability. Two ports on the side of the "fuselage" near the engine ports hold 2 defensive air-to air weapons (the M61 Vulcan and the AIM-9X Sidewinder). Also a 3 missile rotary launcher can be affixed to either of the 2 weapons bay, bringing the max # of missiles this aircraft can carry up to 7. These would be perfect to escort B-2s or to be used in concert with regular F-117As.
A phased array radar, new FLIR systems and uprated counter measures have also been added. The aircraft also has in-flight re-fuel capabilty and a less stealthy carrier version is availble for $70million

We can offer a discount on large purchases

Here is my proposal, I hope you find it acceptable. You can find all the information on my off-site storefront -Here- (http://iproducts.proboards36.com/index.cgi). You have 20% discount as you are a RWC member. Prices in brackets are the discounted price.

Main infantry weapon

5.56mm FN F2000- $1,000 ($800) This weapon belongs to the next generation of assualt rifles. It is light and compact, and comes with a detachable grenade launcher. This futuristic looking weapon has served in our armed forces and has performed admirably.

Main Infantry Support weapon

12.7mm / .50 XM312 Machinegun- $1,700 ($1,360) This machine gun comes in a choice of calibre, so you can fit it in with the rest of your forces easily. The weapon is tried and tested and performs well in the field, without jamming.

Main Infantry AT weapon

M136 AT4- $1,000 ($800) This AT missile launcher is capable of defeating the majority of tanks that one is likely to meet, at long range.

Air to Air missile.

Awe King Missile- $400,000 ($320,000) Can be surface or air launched. Conventional explosives but with new warhead structure, damage done is increased significantly. Several large shards of metal with a glass canister contained within containing very strong fluoro-antimonic acid make up the core of the warhead. When the missile hits the aircraft (plane or helicopter) the shards are thrown into the aircraft by the explosion. The force of this will break the inner glass canisters, releasing the acid into the inner workings of the target (the shard penetrates a little before breaking). If the explosion doesn't kill the craft, the acid will. The actual missile is highly accurate (like a Patriot) and fast. It is a long range fire and forget missile.

Note: We actually do not specialise in Infantry Weapons currently, but are looking to develop a better selection. We rather specialise in muntions and Main Battle Tanks, a better range of these items can be found on our storefront.

Special Offer: If you (or anyone else) decides to place an order for $5,000,000 or more, then you will recieve 5 complimentry IPHA 'Zephyr' Attack Helicopter's absolutely free! (See external storefront for details).

Dear Sirs,

Please consider Chaosmanglemaimdeathia's "Needlessly Hardcore Squad" at your disposal. These troops are considered the equal to six to eight average infantrymen of other nations, and are armed with no more than a crude buckler and two butter knives, which they are left to sharpen on their own time. Best of all, these troops will fight FOR FREE. The Needlessly Hardcore Squad has long been itching for a challenge, and feels that it may become collectively out of practice. Since each member is tested to be above average IQ, the individual members know that infighting would be just as unproductive, and have been giving their names out for mercenary work.
i hope we can be of service to you.

When previously tested in elementary schools, the rate of child attrition was found to exceed acceptable levels, and thus the NHS is only deployable in case of declared national emergency, martial law, war, or if they really feel like it; as nobody can really stop them.

The Mobile Multiple Rocket Air Defence System (MMRADS) provides Armies with an all-weather, indirect, area fire weapon system to strike counterfire, air defense, armored formations, and other high-payoff targets at all depths of the tactical battlefield. Primary missions of MMRADS include the suppression, neutralization and destruction of threat fire support and forward area air defense targets.

The Mobile Multiple Rocket Air Defence System is a versatile weapon system that supplements traditional cannon artillery fires by delivering large volumes of firepower in a short time against critical, time-sensitive targets. These targets often include enemy artillery, air defense systems, mechanized units, and personnel. MMRADS units can use their system's "shoot and scoot" capability to survive while providing fire support for attacking manuever elements.

Overview
The SN-72 Kestrel Long Range Rifle is a product of Maxwell Industries designed to provide infantry with extreme range anti-armor capabilities without the telltale signs that conventional rocket propelled armaments possess. Constructed primarily of lightweight polymer plastics to reduce the overall weight, this massive rifle requires assembly before being used against enemy armor as it is too bulky to transport fully assembled.

However, this rifle makes up for the assembly time with its ability to penetrate armor at ranges normally reserved for artillery. By utilizing superconducting accelerators and subatomic levers to store power, conventional propulsion techniques have been shelved in favor of magnetic acceleration. This technique eliminates the need for conventional chemical propulsion and can accelerate the arperture to excess speeds of 4000 m/s. However, given the severe deterioration of the barrel at those speeds during the discharge of the round, it is limited to 2300 m/s to maximize barrel lifespan.

At speeds of 2300 m/s, the 30mm tungsten round is capable of penetrating up to 317mm of composite armor without loss of kinetic energy. In order to increase the effectiveness of the rifle, it includes a port for a data link connection to any orbitting satelite for targetting data. Its own onboard targetting correction systems will provide minute adjustments to gurantee a hit everytime a target has been verified.

Variants
Currently, Maxwell Industries is not offering any variants to this rifle although there has been some speculation into designing a short barrel version for urban use.

so basically its a fragmentation warhead..... with..... acid......
wouldn't the acid eat through the missile itself? (sorry, but I have to break down the competition :P) And what is this missiles approximate range?


No, the acid wouldn't, as it is in a glass container.

The range is approx 15 miles, when launched from the air.


As for the weapon stats, I dont have any on the site, as I am not an infantry weapons expert. They all should be on www.fas.org though. I am much better using munitions and MBT's.

we regret to say that we forgot to mention a price with our MMRADS. it is $4,000,000, missiles are separate.

5 miles isnt excactley long range. My Short range missile goes 10-18 miles pending on elevation.

Lol, missed the 1 out.

Lol, missed the 1 out.
even still, 15 for a lrm?

We will be adding the following projects to our list:

MMRADS-1 "Mad yetti"
5.56mm FN F2000

Also we have several questions about the SN-72 Kestrel Long Range Rifle; does one require alot of training to use this rifle? How expensive is ammunition? How much damage would a single round do on a modern MBT?(not fired at ammo storage or other weakspots).

Remember people that we are talking about thousands of vehicle's, aircraft here and million's of rifle's. So give me an offer I can't refuse!.

Minister of Defence.

we are very pleased that you would consider our design. As an incentive we shall offer the missiles to arm them at Half price, should you choose our LRSAM-144 to equip them. They are compatible with most other SA missile systems either way.

I think you just guarteed yourself a contract, but we'll wait a little longer before deciding

It's not a LRM, it's a SRM.

The SN-72 Kestrel does not require extensive training beyond that of conventional marksmen training. Since the system relies on magnetic acceleration, recoil is a non-issue, making it easier to use than most sniper rifles. Additionally, rather than relying on simple optics for targetting purposes, the Kestrel uses a combination of laser imaging systems and satelite fed data to reproduce the target in the sight as well as an approximation of where the round will hit based on wind speed, elevation and speed of target.

The round itself is a high performance solid tungsten round with a discarding sabot shell. As already mentioned, it can penetrate up to 317mm of composite armor, far more than any modern day MBT carries. Properly aimed, the round will punch through the armor of the target where the immense kinetic energies will be imparted into the crew, electronics, engine and ammunition storage. Tests have shown that when the round punches through, fragments of internal armor plating and other materials are dislodged at high speeds, ricocheting in the crew compartment with effects similar to that of the M67 hand grenade.

If the round strikes the engine compartment, the armor penetration capabilities ensures that rather than burying itself in the engine, the tungsten shell will bore cleanly through the entire structure, rendering the engine entirely inoperable in most circumstances and possibly causing secondary explosions depending on the engine type.

Regarding damage to electronics systems, the round itself carries a goodly amount of waste discharge from the accelerators when it leaves the barrel, allowing it to short out whatever electrical systems it may come into contact with during its flight path.

Even if the round does not strike a critical location, the MBT itself will suffer concussive effects similar to that of a strike from a 110mm anti-tank gun at shorter ranges, causing panic and confusion as well as impact damage.

The tungsten round itself costs $10 each inclusive of its discarding sabot shell.

The only true downside to the Kestrel is rate of fire. Each time the gun is fired, the capacitors must be completely discharged, draining them completely of the stored energy. As a result, it takes approximately 17 seconds before the batteries can recharge them again and the barrel has cooled down sufficiently for the next round can be fired.

However, Maxwell Industries feels that this is an acceptable exchange due to the range that can be effectively covered by the Kestrel. We hope that you find the SN-72 Kestrel suitable for your needs.

We will be adding the SN-72 Kestrel to our list but our first purchase will be a limited edition for our special forces division and naval stormtrooper core. Should the rifle's preform as you told us they would we will buy alot more.

It's not a LRM, it's a SRM.

yes, but IM saying that your LRM goes just a slite bit farther then my srm. My LRM goes over 230 miles...

Maxwell Munitions Industries thanks you for your business and hopes to maintain a long and profitable relation between our two nations.

I'll leave this open till tonight before I decide upon which weapons and systems to take.

Remember kiddo's, you can make trilions here!

The Awe King is a short range missile, how many times do I have to say!

Remember the 20% off DD! And the free Helicopters!

Lol.

OoC: I do I do, guess why I'm buying from you? Its gona save me hundreds of millions on the rifle's!

Ahh, thanks bud.

Did you find the stats?

OoC: Sort off, I'm happy with em and the discount makes it worth it.

Awe King Missile- $400,000 ($320,000) Can be surface or air launched. Conventional explosives but with new warhead structure, damage done is increased significantly. Several large shards of metal with a glass canister contained within containing very strong fluoro-antimonic acid make up the core of the warhead. When the missile hits the aircraft (plane or helicopter) the shards are thrown into the aircraft by the explosion. The force of this will break the inner glass canisters, releasing the acid into the inner workings of the target (the shard penetrates a little before breaking). If the explosion doesn't kill the craft, the acid will. The actual missile is highly accurate (like a Patriot) and fast. It is a long range fire and forget missile.

an air to air short range nuclear missile with a range of 9 km... *sigh*

I can sell you thousands of AK-47's. My enterprises are based on slave labour. I can produce them cheaply. Contact Me for extra info. (Send me a telegram)

:confused:

Shhh! Lol.

A nuke with a 9km max range, lol!

Mllia: He wanted a weapon BETTER than the M4 series...

OoC: The time that a AK out preforms a m4 is the day that communisme rules the world ;) In other words, never.

I'm waiting on Praetonia to show off his missile's before I make my final decision, I ask all participants to remain seated.

*sits down*

*leans over to Intelligent Neighbors*

He does know that the bomb dropped on Hiroshima had a yield of 15kt right?

*chuckles then leans back into his seat*

have you decided on purchaising the M-20 Gladiator mobile AAA and
MG-22 Squad Automatic Weapon/Light Machine-Gun?
If so how many can i put you down for?
Also what type of gun system would like on the M-20?

IPS has been supplying NationStates with quality ships and ship-based missiles for over one hundred NS years. Our vessels and weapons are in service right now with dozens of major world navies, notably those of Austar Union and AfrikaZKorps. Our missiles are manufactured to the highest standards and include some of the most advanced systems available to modern nations today. All of our missiles come equiped with RAMjet engines (these preferable over SCRAMjets for weight and size reduction, as well as reduced chance of burn-out on launch), except for our Discus Anti-Missile system and our Halberd advanced Anti-Ship <Missile system. If you're looking for long range, high performance missiles from a trustable, well known brand name company then look no further than IPS.

Re: Defense Contracts

We couldn't help but notice the recent buildup of your armed forces. We don't currently offer weapons of war, but we do sell something equally important, C Rations. If you don't have a readily available supply of food for an army on the move, they can't function effectively in battle. Our C Rations also are a great idea to keep stockpiled for national emergencies.

If you are interested take a look at our storeC-Rations R Us (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=369484)

(OOC) Actually, the SN-72 Kestrel fulfills the role of a long range AT weapon by trading explosive firepower for armor penetration.

oops missed that one, thought the kestrel was a plane for some reason.... maybye cause a kestrel is a bird, oh well
