HANDGUNS
All Handguns are supplied in boxes; 15 weapons per box. Therefore, all prices given are prices for an entire box. We cannot supply weapons individually, as this has been deemed economically unsound.

Browning High Power Mk.3
The last firearms design to come from J.M Browning himself, who died in 1926. This design is manufactured by FN (Fabrique Nationale) Herstal, Belgium. The design is highly reliable and robust, with a large magazine and good stopping power, making it a favourite with Special Forces and bodyguards alike despite it’s age.
Calibre: 9x19 mm
Magazine capacity: 14 rounds
Price: $7500 ($500 per weapon)

GLOCK pistols
Largely made of plastic, all GLOCks are nevertheless extremely reliable and potent weapons in trained hands. A number of variations exist, in a variety of calibres and sizes. However, they are extremely simple to use, the basic Glock 17 consisting only of 33 parts, and can be stripped in a matter of seconds. The safety mechanism of all Glocks is conducted by a group of internal mechanisms, meaning that all you have to do is draw and fire, as the weapon is safe when holstered, and does not release the safety catch until you pull the trigger
Calibre(s): 9x19 mm (Glock 17), 10mm (Glock 20)
Magazine capacity: 17 rounds
Price: $8250 ($550 per weapon)

IMI Desert Eagle
A weapon much popularised by Hollywood action films, this pistol is still one of only a few gas-operated blowback handguns in existence. The power of the Magnum rounds used makes give it stopping power like no other, however this power does make it very difficult to handle effectively. It is, contrary to the myth, impossible to wield a Desert Eagle one handed with any real degree of accuracy. We do not offer the .50 Action Express round.
Calibre(s): 0.35in Magnum, 0.44in Magnum
Magazine capacities: 9 rounds (0.357), 7 rounds (0.44)
Price: $9000 ($600 per weapon)

Colt M1911A1
Although this handgun was first used in 1911, the weapon is still very popular today due to it’s power, thanks to the 0.45 ACP round if fires. Since 1911, it has been modernised many times by many different manufacturers, including Colt. We stock the original, as well as the Delta Elite, which is the same basic design but using the 10mm round.
Calibre(s): 0.45in ACP, 10mm
Magazine capacities: 7 rounds (0.45), 11 rounds (10mm)
Price: $7500 ($500 per weapon)

FN Five seveN Tactical
One of Fabrique Nationale's latest offerings, the Five-seveN is an unusual pistol. FN claims that thanks to the use of their newly designed 5.7 x 28 mm round, the Five-seveN is capable of piercing the older US Army PASGT vest at 300 meters range, and a U.S. Army PASGT 'Kevlar' helmet at a range of 240 meters. The advantages of the pistol itself include its weight (the 5.7 mm round weighs half as much as a standard 9 mm round), its recoil (FN claims the 5.7 mm round produces roughly half the felt recoil of a 9 mm round), and its 20-round magazine, which holds significantly more ammunition than other pistols. Despite its magazine capacity, the Five-seveN is a light pistol, as well as being reasonably compact. Though seemingly an effective weapon, the Five-seveN has not been widely adopted, due mostly to the unconventional concept and ammunition
Calibre: 5.7x28mm
Magazine Capacity: 10 or 20 rounds
Price: $12000 ($800 per weapon)


SUB-MACHINE GUNS
All Sub-Machine Guns are provided in crates of 10.

Heckler & Koch MP5
The MP5 is considered by many to be the definative sub-machine gun. It is highly accurate, well balanced and capable of great things. However, this weapon is not suited to life in the field, and is instead more suited to close-quaters combat, such as that involved in hostage-rescue. The MP5 shot to fame as the weapon used by the British SAS in the Iranian Embassay Seige in 1980. Since then, it has developed a great following befitting both the weapon and the manufacturer. We stock four different versions of the MP5:
MP5A3 - The most common version used, featuring retractable buttstock and 'SEF' trigger group.
MP5SD6 - Although all MP5's can carry suppressors, this version of the weapon has an integrated suppressor and a specially-made barrel which reduces the muzzle velocity of its ammunition to just below the speed of sound. The result is that the MP5SD series is almost inaudible at distances of more than 15 meters. By its remarkable sound and almost invisible muzzle flash, it is chosen as a stealthy operating weapon in many police and military forces. This weapon carries a 'Navy/SEF' trigger group, and a retractable buttstock
MP5KA4 - The highly shortened version, with the barrel length reduced drastically. Introduced as weapon for bodyguards (the potential for its sale to bodyguards as a concealable, but fully-automatic weapon) and as a personal defence weapon (PDW) for pilots and tank crews. This version also sports a three-round burst setting.
MP5N - The Naval version of the MP5, this weapon is designed for use by sea-borne infantry forces, such as the Marines. The weapon can be throughly immersed in water, features a fully-ambidextrous trigger group, a retractable stock, and a threaded barrel for mounting suppressors. In addition, HK replaced many of the metal parts on the MP5N with lighter and corrosion-resistant plastics.
Calibre(s): 9x19 mm Luger
Magazine Capacity: 15 or 30 round magazines
Price: $17500 ($1750 per weapon)(all variations)

FN P90TR
It is designed to accommodate both left and right-handed shooters — it features an ambidextrous fire selector and charging handle, and downward ejection of spent shells. It is built in a unique bullpup configuration that places the 50-round translucid magazine above the weapon, parallel to the barrel. A circular ramp at the bottom of each magazine re-aligns each round to the barrel. This design makes the weapon extremely compact and maneuverable and the transparent magazine makes it easy to quickly check the number of rounds left. The P90 is constructed largely out of weight-saving polymers. Field stripping the PS90 can be done in under 20 seconds breaking it apart into 4 major groups: barrel support/optical sight group, moving parts group, hammer group, and frame/trigger group. This particular model, the TR, consists of the basic P90, with the addition of a triple Picatinny Rail Interface System (RIS). There is one full-length rail on the top of the base and two rail "stumps" on the sides. This setup allows the P90 to mount a variety of commercial scopes, laser sights, and tactical lights that may not fit on the regular model.
Calibre: 5.7 x 28mm
Magazine Capacity: 50 rounds
Price: $19000 ($1900 per weapon)

Israel Military Industries Uzi
The Uzi (sometimes seen as UZI) sub-machine gun is a weapon that, at the time, incorporated a number of features that were not common. Since then, these features, such as the blowback operated mechanism, have found their way into the mainstream of SMG designs. First introduced in the 1950's, and still serving on the front-line in a limited capacity, it is a superb weapon but does suffer from the fact it fires from an open bolt, thus exposing the interior mechanism to dust and other such things, as well as reducing accuracy.
Calibre: 9 x 19mm
Magazine Capacity: 25 or 32 rounds
Price: $15000 ($1500 per weapon)

Heckler & Koch UMP
The UMP (Universal Machinen-Pistole = Universal Submachine Gun) was developed by H&K to create a lightweight and powerful submachine gun, that also will be cheaper than one of the H&K's flagships, the MP5. It fires a more powerful round than the MP5, and as such could gain favour in long-range confrontations over the MP5. However, this can also mean that the round passes through the person, a dangerous situation in close quarters combat. This model is the .40 Smith & Wesson model.
Calibre: .40 S&W
Magazine capacity: 10, 25, 30 rounds
Price: $18500 ($1850 per weapon)

AKS-74u
This sub-machine gun, derived from the AK-74, is known as a spitter to those who use it, but retains the reliability and toughness that has become associated with the AK series over the years. It is an extremely easy weapon to maintain, but is not entirely accurate, and is therefore more suited to troops than security or police.
Calibre: 5.45mm
Magazine Capacity: 20/30 rounds
Price: $16000 ($1600 per weapon)

SNIPER RIFLES
All sniper rifles are provided in crates of 5

L96A1
This weapon is different to many other sniper rifles in that it is not merely an adaptation of an existing rifle, but instead is a custom-built weapon more familiar to Olympic shooters. Manufactured by Accuracy International, this weapon is merely a heavy stainless barrel secured to a bolted aluminium chassis, with the addition of a bipod, stock, action and buttstock all included with the plastic furniture. The scope is accurate out to a range of 1000m.
Calibre: 7.62mm
Magazine Capacity: 10 rounds
Scope: Telescopic 6x42 Schmidt & Bender
Price: $45,000 ($9,000 per weapon)

SVD-S Dragunov
This combat sniper rifle is not designed as a standard sniper rifle, instead serving in the squad support role by extending the effective range of an infantry squad out to at least 800m. This technique, used by many of the Eastern Bloc countries throughout the twentieth century, is managed thanks to a rifle that retains the ability to withstand harsh field treatment and yet still be completley reliable. Ther version provided here is constructed using lightweight polymers, and incorporates a folding buttstock and shortened barrel.
Calibre: 7.62mm
Magazine Capacity: 10 rounds
Scope: x4 PSO-1
Price:$40,000 ($8,000 per weapon)

Barrett M82A1
This weapon is unique in that it uses 0.5in (12.7mm) rounds, commonly seen on the M2 Heavy Machine Gun. As such, it is not designed for use against enemy personnel, instead being used as an anti-material sniper rifle, as well as EOD (Explosive Ordance Disposal).
Calibre: 12.7mm
Magazine Capacity: 11 rounds
Scope: x10 (Fixed)
Price: $50,000 ($10,000 per weapon)

PSG-1
This Heckler&Koch sniper rifle came into being after the Munich massacre. German snipers said they couldn't react fast enough, and this weapon was developed as a direct result. It is a semi-automatic weapon, carrying a Hensoldt 6x42 scope bolted to the top. Like other H&K rifles, it carries polygonal rifling, within an octagonal barrel. The stock is fully-adjustable. However, the spent casings are thrown some ten metres, and the weapon does weigh a fair amount. This, combined with fragility, make it unsuited to military combat, instead serving the role for which it was designed; rapid response.
Calibre: 7.62mm
Magazine Capacity: 5/20 rounds
Scope: 6x42 Hensoldt
Price: $50,000 ($10,000 per weapon)

Clothing
Clothing is supplied in bulk. Each shipment contains enough clothing to fully equip one hundred and fifty soliders. This includes boots and headgear. Combat helmets(link (http://www.transworldsurplus.co.uk/images/products/british_army_helmet.jpg)) are included in all the packages irregardless.

Arctic: In arctic conditions, layers are emphasised over everything else. In this package, we supply cotton 'long johns', which are tight from ankle to knee, and baggy from knee to groin to allow a layer of insulating air to be trapped, along with a high necked cotton vest with long sleeves and elasticated wrists to trap air and prevent heat loss. Next are the boots, with which two pairs of socks are supplied. A wollen pair is worn next to the skin to absorb moisture slowly whilst allowing the feet to breath, over which Goretex seals are worn. The boots themselves are of the mountain type, and are capable of accepting snow shoes and skis. The trousers are cotton DPM (Disruptive Pattern Material, like the British Army 2000 ^_^), which in this case have Velco pockets and large buttons. The jacket is a Goretex smock with hood instead of a shirt. When moving slowly or having stopped, everything is covered with white nylon trousers and smock. Gloves are provided, but these are of the mitten variety (thumb and trigger finger are seperate fingers, for ease of use). Tinted goggles are also supplied to prevent snow blindness. Finally, woolen hats are issued as opposed to balaclavas, as they allow for greater visibility. Soliders are reminded that sunburn can occur in the arctic as well as elsewhere.
Price: $30,000 for a single shipment ($200 per set, to include boots and helmet)

Desert: Trousers and shirt are both made of lightweight cotton, which absorbs moisture much more readily than any other material. They are supplied in desert DPM (two-tone). At night, a wollen pullover is issued so as to keep out the cold. Gloves are either pilot-issue Nomex or fingerless mittens, but each is similar in effect. Headgear is provided in the form of a shemagh, which traps a layer of cooler air over the head and provides neck protection, and tinted goggles are supplied with the gear. No socks are provided as they help the foot to sweat, which is not needed. The boots are provided is the high-neck desert boot. Suncream is also provided as a matter of course
Price: $27,000 ($180 per set)

Jungle: In the jungle, first-class footware is essential. The footware provided in this package is the Matterhorn Jungle boot, which is of rubber and canvas manufacture, with a single metal plate inserted in the sole. Due to the threat of infection, the trousers are long and loose cotton DPM, with a drawstrong waist. The shirt is of similar manufacture to the trousers. The headwear is generally a DPM tropical hat, which is floppy and provides good protection.
Price: $27,000 (See above)

Temperate: The boots provided are full-grain leather and cordura nylon, with Goretex lining, making them watertight yet breathable. The trousers are tight-weave DPM cotton, which are windproof, whilst the DPM smock is large, baggy and has plenty of pockets, as well as possessing some waterproofing. Headgear is also commonly a camoflagued peaked cap.
Price: $24,000 ($160 per set)
