Since the Incorporated States of Phoenix Armaments now offers it's services to anyone, we have a multitude of designs avaiable, ranging from infantry weapons to assault vehicles to aerial support.

Infantry Weapons

Phoenix TLZ-1a rifle
The Phoenix TLZ-1a rifle does away with irritating ammunition. Who needs bullets when you can fire a nearly continous stream of energy blasts? Utilizing three magnetic coils that constantly rotate and thus produce a huge amount of energy, the TLZ-1a is perfect against enemy infantry. As the coils rotate, the magnetic fields repel and attract, creating huge amounts of friction. This friction is turned into light, which is then sent through the barrel, containing a series of mirrors that enhances the weapon's power. The only drawback of the system is that it packs about the same punch as an M-16. The system is also very cheap and portable, as opposed to similar designs.

NOTE: This design was submitted to the U.S Patent Office last month, and as such, actually works. This is merely an enhanced version of that patent.

Range: 55 m
Shots per battery (approx): 1500
Price: $150
Battery Price: $10 for 100

TLZ-2a Anti-Vehicle Weapon

The TLZ-2a functions along the same principles as the TLZ-1a, but on a larger scale. The bolts fired from the 2a are twice the size as a standard 1a bolt, and are more effective at piercing armor. The TLZ-2a is a sinlge man weapon, effective against all manner of vehicles.

Range: 125 m
Shots per battery (approx): 1500
Price: $300
Battery Price: $20 for 100

Land Vehicles

TL-2 Scout Vehicle

The TL-2 scout vehicle is the cheapest Phoenix Armaments vehicle design. It is lightly armored, fast, and lightly armed. The vehicle is not recommended for front-line action, but rather, as it's name implies, a reconnaisance vehicle. Utilizing a slighly larger version of the TLZ-1a, referred to as the TLZ-1b, it can take out infantry at the most, but it's effectiveness is limited against armor. It requires a two man crew to operate.

Max speed: 145 k.p.h
Kilometers per liter (gas): 45
Crew: Two
Passengers: One
Armaments: TLZ-1b (Max range: 75 m)
Price: $30,000

The R&D department of Phoenix Armaments is currently creating more designs, and the marketing department is working on advertisements for these designs.
