What is a good percentage for allocation to procurement of new weapons? Granted, in USD I don't have all that much to work with, but with payroll, logistics, maintenance, special projects, etc I was trying to work out how much i wanted to spend per year in weapons procurement.

There is a budget allocation code on Thirdgeek (http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/), including military budget.
I'd say about 1-5% percent of your budget, higher if you have a large budget small army, lower if small budget big army.

Personally, I use a 20% Mil budget but thats only because i've got some really nuts rulers and I have no such thing as Social Welfare and other such things.
Also, I RP with plenty of economic problems (on occasion) and I am probably going to RP an economic 'black day' sometime in the future.
