Welcome to the new ArmsDiscounters Bonstock Military Superstore

Just like before, we sell packaged military equipment. Now we also sell the equipment alone. We’re gonna be like the Wal-Mart of the global arms trade. So you can sit back and enjoy the ride. Buy and make someone die!

This store is not really finished yet. Due to time constraints, our staff has decided to launch the store as it is for now, as it is long overdue. Eventually our staff will redo the packages, add more support aircraft, standardize measurements, and generally make improvements.

Coming soon:
Commodities market
The Munitions Depot
The Nation-building Store
More aircraft, ships, and ground weapons

Military Equipment: Infantry equipment
Equip your infantry with only the best that Bonstock has to offer.

[In your storefront in the old NS, before Jolt, you had a militia package. Like, X amount of small arms, X amount of grenades, and so on, to arm a large homeland defense militia. It'd be spectacular if you brought that back.]
