‘Razor’ M-121 Naval Bombardment Gun
The Razor is a new Naval Weapon from TPF’s research division. Noticing a hole between large 16-inch naval weapons and cruise missiles, we set out to Fill that hole, resulting in the Razor Naval Gun. It is a 5-inch weapon, it uses GPS to pick its targets, and it can fire up to sixty miles inland. The accuracy is within one inch of the target. The shells go up to three mach and the super to six mach. The weapon can fire eight rounds per minute but a very well trained crew can do ten.
Razor M121 NBG: five million USD
Standard Shell: 60,000 USD (For infantry, shrapnel= a squad down.)
HE Shell: 70,000 (for enemy buildings or emplacements)
AP Shell: 75,000 (for tanks one shell- one dead tank)
Penetrater Shell: 100,000 (for enemy bunkers or heavily armored)
Super Shell: 120,000 (really powerful HE shell.)
Tactical nuclear shell: 600,000 US ( four kiloton blast)
All Nations wishing to purchase a Tacnuke shell will have to under-go a background check, all nations limited to sixty shells per NS year.)

Nice shells, but I have a 5" GUN that could offer similar performance with standard shells, and is only limited in accuracy by the forward observers (they die too quickly these days) and the positioning of the guns (since GPS is normally accurate to only 4 meters), giving a CEP of about ten yards at 30 miles. When 'zeroed' the CEP is roughly 4 yards\3 meters
('Zeroed' is when GPS and Forward Observer faults are eliminated by repeatedly shooting at a target to find relative position and angle of guns to achieve desired resaults).

Kind of ironic that you are now developing a 5" EMP shell for said gun.

You would have permission to sell it as your own, and I would purchase half the rights to that paricular shell. Royalties shall be 50% of sales for said shell, and said gun will be offered to you at 1/4 price, or $50,000 each.

The gun is the CC-5L. If you are interested. Will offer production and selling rights to you (and only you) for a price of $75 billion.
