COME AND GET YOUR MINES!

Well, I've always noticed a shocking scarcity of mines in NS, despite their annoying lethality. So here are some.

Part II Vehicle and Naval Mines: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=8025537#post8025537

LMS-14 "Featherweight"

Description: A small landmine that packs a lot of punch. Only a tiny, tiny portion of the mine is above ground, making it nearly invisible. Also, the mine is very sensitive, requiring only 11 pounds of pressure to detonate.
This guaranteed to remove the foot of whoever steps on it.

Specifics:
Weight: 14 oz.
Trigger: Pressure.
Guarantees: Minimal, foot. Can remove leg, or both legs of small children.
Cost: $10 per mine

LMS-15 "Grisly Amputation"

Specifics:
Weight: 30 oz.
Trigger: Pressure
Guarantees: Minimal, both legs at the knee. Can remove both legs at the hip on small children.
Cost: $25

LMS-16 "Deathwatch"

Trigger: Pressure
Guarantees:Minimal, the entire human head. Will remove upper torso or arms as well.
Cost: $50

Weight: 72 oz.
Trigger: Pressure, Time
Guarantees: Will definitely blow up as dialed. See LMS-16
Cost: $100

LMS-11 "El Cheapo"

LMS-13 "Butterfly"

Description: Clamps onto its victims like a bear trap before blowing. Can crush bone with ease.

OOC: 'Can remove both legs at the hip on small children' lol, just for that, I'll buy a bunch.

IC:

While the Canadian Tundra does produce a variety of mines ranging from anti-personnel to anti-tank, the Department of National Defence would nevertheless like to procure 1000 of the LMS-15 mines. The cost of $25,000 will be transferred upon confirmation of the order.

*Secret*

The Free Provincial Alliance would like to procure 20,000 LMS-14s and 20,000 LMS-15s. The cost of an estimated $500,000 will be transferred upon confirmation of the order. OOC: FPA is a splinter nation of the Tundra as a result of a civil war, both nations are controlled by this account.

We denounce the use of mines in warfare. Although they may be effective during combat their affect on a population after a conflict has been concluded is far more devastating.

Mines pose a huge threat to innocent civilians who just want to go about their everyday lives without the risk of having their limbs blown off or losing their life. Look at the horrific civilian casualties in Africa due to the widepsread use of mines, children as young as 3 or 4 confined to a wheelchair for the rest of their days. Adults, forced to use crutches walking alongside the bodybags of those who were not so lucky, if you wish to call being lucky having to live with a tortured existence, waking up every morning and having to deal with your maimed body.

We ask you to remove this storefront and pursue a more responsible use of weaponry that will not endanger innocent civillian populations.

The Canadian Tundra: Thank you for your business.
Wirraway: ooc: Hmm... well, i'm just cornering a small niche market. I'll install a few "blow up after a certain period of time" triggers on the more expensive models.

My thanks

Bump!

We will purchase 10 billion "leaves" and 10 billion "El cheapo" the total for both being a total of 20 billion dollars.


We'd also like 1 billion "Death watch" mines for a total of 50 billion dollars.



We will be sending the 70 billions dollars upon confirmation of the order.


All mines will be inspected by the DIS and other parties before their installment in the 5 mile "No-go" zones that are our borders.

(We have a 5 mile buffer zone inside our nation, along every border, no civilians are allowed there, they can only cross the borders at official heavily guarded checkpoints. We have typically 1-2 battalions at each checkpoint)

We already have well over 3 million border police, 100,000 remotely activated 7.62mm miniguns, and over 1 billion mines on our borders. We plane to make it so much better though.

Thank you for your business.

Also you get 100,000 free minelaying robots as a gratuity.

Greetings from the Technocracy of Sharina.

I am interested in purchasing these mines. Before I make a purchase, I would like to know if I can purchase domestic production rights to manufacture these mines for the defense of my nation.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Live well,
~President Rand Veristek

Sharina, MSN me.

you need naval mines, after that i might make a purchase

I'm in the process of doing that.

Naval Mines up.

OOC: How big is a 1mt nuclear mine? That must be huge...

ooc: Praetonia, it's lithium hydride anti-matter, it's for PM nations. Feel free to avoid buying it, or RP'ing it to weigh 100 pounds if you choose.

On your time limit devices, is the exipiration trigger a self-destroy, or full detonation?

ok, we'd like to order
1,000X LMS-202 Horse Mines (25m)
2,500,000X El Cheapo Mines (2.5 m)
10,000 Deathwatch Mines (.5m)

100,000 featherweight mines (1m)

if you'd like to know, most of the mines will either be stored, or used to protect military facilities
(a few might be used in gardens of dissidents, but thats off the record)

Confirmed.

MassPwnage, check TG's.

Ahh you can never get enough mines...

LMS-30 "Rising Phoenix" 1000 @ Cost: $760 = $760,000
LMS 99 "Drive-By" 1000 @ Cost: $800 = $800,000
LMS-11 "El Cheapo" 10000 @ Cost: $1 = $10,000

$1,570,000 total.. charge it to my Amex Black card please.

I am sure I will be back in the near future once I figure out how many additional units I need to litter the neighboring countryside with.

YD

Confirmed.

OOC:
PArt of the reason of the scarity of mines on store fronts (well appart from the general fact that msot nations assume that they can produce enough of the run of the mill equipment so they only need to buy stuff if you presetn a new super snzzy rifle or tank and mines well lets face it just aren't sexy enough) is that UN nations are banned from using them, of course soem people have ways around that ;)

*bump!*
Who Cares About Warcrimes!

*Bump!*

bump!

Major Bump!

Bump!

Bump!

The Royal Defence Department of Lictoria requests ninety-thousand leaf mines. We'll put up some nice artificial forests for invaders.

Confirmed Lictoria, although that's not enough mines to make a forest.

I may buy some at future notice, but not at this time.

Czar Sam Fabus

Bump!

Bumpeth!

Bump!

Serious Ass Bump!

Just to make you happy, I'm repeating my previous purchase. (ooc: Some work for you: find it)

Cash wired upon confirmation.

Done. Nice doing business with you.
Oh we have ship mines and spider mines now.
And did you see our Nuke mine?

Greetings

The department of Civil Defense would like to purchase 10,000 LMS-14 Mines, 1,500 LMS-13 Mines, and 100,000 LMS-30 Mines.

Additionlly, the Department of Shiny Radioactive things that Blow Up would like to purchase 12 LMS-99 Mines.

Query from the DSRBU, how large is the LMS-99?

Money will be wired apon confirmation of order.

Confirmed. Although if you try to sell or reverse engineer the mines, they WILL blow up on you.

ooc: the LMS-99's weight is dependent on your tech level. If you're Modern Tech it's 100+ pounds, if you're Post-Modern it's 10 pounds.

*Bling Wired*

Done. Nice doing business with you.
Oh we have ship mines and spider mines now.
And did you see our Nuke mine?

ooc: Yeah, but they're basicly just for mining the military base perimeters and prison perimeters.. And the accational execution, naturally. You lay out a minefield and drop the poor devil who is to die off from a helicopter in the middle of the field. If he makes it out alive, his death sentence is converted to life imprisonment. Makes a helluva show as well.

Confirmed Lictoria, although that's not enough mines to make a forest.

No, not a forest, but enough to put here and there to maim someone :)
But hell, since you mention it, how about another five hundred thousand, make the forest a little bigger? And finally, put me down for two hundred Featherweights.

Sure... Confirmed.
