presents the

F-53w
Miniature Submachine Gun

http://kfox.gamehorizons.net/Pacitalia/F53wSchematics.jpg

Lightweight, responsive and precise; the new F-53w has started a revolution in miniature submachine guns. With its small size, easy handling and unique armour-piercing capable ammunition, it presents a new challenge for opponents, whether military or paramilitary. The F-53w is equipped with an amazingly effective manual sight line with exact crosshair, and more importantly, a low-divergence laser sight module built above the barrel. This gun is recommended for police, clandestine and special operations missions.

Bump. Come on, buy buy buy! ;)

OOC Technical: First off, awesome to see a homemade design and a lot of details to boot, there are some faults I can see though. Just to nitpick, the size of the ammo is typically given as (I think its) width x length, so yours would be 6.76xwhatever(somewhere from 25-35)mm. The ammo capacity would then be given separately, and it comes in magazines, not clips. You haven't given any information on what kind of range it has, or what range it can go through armor at(the p90 for example is claimed to go through a PASGT helmet at 200m). Your bullet energy stuff is pretty wacky, usually its given in m/s, which would make yours go 1 m/s, whereas the p90 will be 715 m/s. I don't know why you'd be attaching a tripod to something so small, if you really want some kind of stabilizing stand(weird as hell for something like this...), you could get away with a monopod. If the price is in USD its far too expensive, a PSG-1 might go for that price, but SMGs in bulk orders for militaries could go for that price with a zero knocked off the end.

Greetings,

We wish to purchase a hundred new miniature sub-machine gun to supply the Royal Guards for a trial period of thirty days.

- Length is redundant, as bullets are automatically fit, or should be, to go in the cartridge/magazine/clip, whatever you want to call it.

- I apologise for not including the range, I'll put that up asap.

- It's not 1m/s. Try calculating it again. 3,600km/h is pretty damn fast. I may bump it up to 4000 just for you if needs be, but through comparing it with other SMGs, it's a fast fire. ;)

- The sniper thing is meant more as a last-resort. You shouldn't really use this gun as a sniper rifle, more as what it is, a submachine gun for assault. So, the tripod is fine; besides, a monopod would not countermand any recoil from the gun.

- It's a ceramic gun to keep the weight down. That material in itself knocks the zero back on.

But above all, this is NationStates. It doesn't have to be totally realistic because this isn't real life. Sorry to be harsh, but you don't need to nitpick a non-existent gun.

OOC: Oops on the speed thing, forgot to convert it back to meters, although that makes it's speed a bit high so don't change it. As a rule of thumb, monopods give you more stable aim, then bipods reduce recoil, then tripods let you turn a heavy gun, so you'll want a bipod. I would suggest aluminum or plastic on non-vital parts before going with ceramics. I enjoy thinking up weapons so while I don't need to nitpick, I want to anyway :D. I'm done though, once again nice work.

Oh, not a problem. I was thinking plastic for some of the parts, but it doesn't reduce the sound of the firing as well as the ceramic does, which is useful for stealth clandestine infiltrations etc. The screw works with the standard tripod provided but if the screw on a bipod fits, more power to the user, I guess. PB just releases what it makes with the gun. And thanks for the compliment. :)

Commander Abd-al-aziz Duncan -
