(OOC: In other words, military storefront :)
Im also going to have to say that all purchases be RP'd or sent as a govornment request, official taglines and all that. Simply saying 'Give me X, total is $X' will be ignored.)

Brought to you by Flarg Industries and Squee's Genuine Replica Blunderbusseseses(eseses) (Creators of the very popular G-4 Automatic Blunderbuss with Grenade Launcher), the Authentic Goblin Cultural Exports company is proud to present its line of fine military equipment, all excellent examples of Goblin Culture, not subject to the nations military exports taxes.
It should be noted that all items sold here are built for use by Goblins, that is, people who are three feet tall.
Changes can be made to make these weapons and weapon systems suitable for human use, but the cost will naturaly be increased marginally.

Intended as a sort of 'mobile bunker', this tank is, as its name implies, big, slow and heavy. The 120mm gun fires mosty anti-tank rounds, and carries few HE/Canister types. The 75mm is intended for infantry at long ranges.
The two machine gun turrets are operated by a gunner at the rear via electronic controls.
The main purpose of this tank is to find a good spot, sit down and blast things from a distance. left side behind the forward MG turret) has a small platform which can, if needs be, mount sandbags for a temporary infantry fireing position.

OOC:
Its kinda hard to put detail into the muskets and the rifle, since theyre 'Goblin Made', hand built and all that. They tend to vary pretty wildly :))

One of the first storefronts to make me laugh. And any weapon designated "Blastinating" and "Major Blastinating" can only be a good thing, right? Keep up the good work!
