hhhmmm and entire package might be tricky, but it could be done i suppose, it might just take some time to get a decently priced proposal together.

Since i am an annoying bugger i would end up asking all sorts of annoying questions but please bear with me.

The first set of questions is as follows:
Fire arms: Would it be correct to assume that some sort of universal round and "weapons family" would be a preffered solution?
What about machine guns such as SAWs, LMGs and GPMGs? are these required and if they are not required would new fire arms be required to use similar ammuntition to existing equipment?

Oh and would you object if your SWAT vans/police vehilces shared certain "similarityies" with military APCs?

1. A universal Round is NOT Required, as certain rounds are more effective in certain situations...
2. A weapons family is not necessary but isn't a bad idea
3. SAWs, and LMGs, both are necessary, (There's no way I was gonna get all of them on there in the 10 minutes I had to write that up, and what the hell is a GPMG?)
4. There would be no major problem with them being similar to APCs, but don't forget, cops need cruisers too...

GPMG = General Purpose Machine Gun such as the M240B
It sometimes means gas powered machine gun as well.

The successor to the popular M22 series HVAR, the M25 was designed as a lighter version of the M22, while maintaining its accuracy and firepower. In order to meet these goals, a bull-pup configuration was adopted, shrinking the over all size of the weapon. The 40mm grenade launcher was replaced with the smaller 30mm variant, not only reducing weight but increasing logistical efficiency, as it shares its ammunition with the GL series of launchers. Other features were improved, notably the addition of a full integral smartgun system, as well as a large magazine.

Merlin Integrated Missile System
Weight; 27 kg
Length; 1.3 m
Range; 2,600 m
Price; $2,600
Features; Detachable command/targeting mount, full LEGION integration capability, Intuitive interface, all weather capability.
The Merlin integrated missile system is one of the foremost infantry missile systems available, it is capable of firing anti armor, anti artillery and anti air missiles under all weather and field conditions.
The Merlin anti armor missile is a fire and forget missile with pre launch lock on capability and a millimetric wave radar/dual laser targeting package that can identify targets in all weather conditions, even ignoring battle field distractions such as smoke, chaff and dust. The missile advances towards the target at low altitude and jumps to high altitude in order to take advantage of the typically weaker upper armor on most armored vehicles; the missile uses a double warhead scheme to defeat all known armor types including Explosive Reactive armor. The Missile can also be ‘programmed’ easily in the field for straight flight for use against bunkers and fortified positions.
The Merlin anti air missile uses infrared to track aircraft; it uses an explosive/shrapnelating warhead to damage engines and control surfaces.
The Merlin Integrated Missile System is primarily a ‘soft’ launched infantry missile launcher that can be fired from the shoulder or from the prone position but it can be attached to a mount and used as a vehicle weapon. The Merlin’s command/targeting mount can be detached from the tube launcher and used for infantry surveillance missions, it incorporates imaging infrared, 8x magnification light intensification scope and laser range finding as well as an 8x magnification natural light scope. The system is fully integrateble with the LEGION infantry suite but can also be used stand alone without the LEGION system. The tube launcher is disposable and al available missiles utilize a ‘pre boost ejection’ using low heat thrusters to eject from the tube prior to ignition of the primary booster for minimum recoil and ‘back flash’

Armor Scheme: The Kodiak is equipped with a revolutionary armor system, an aluminum alloy frame supporting a nano-carbon inner skin; additional layers are tungsten alloys, honeycomb carbon composites, a thixtropic layer that effectively reduces the threat posed by HESH rounds, and two layers of mono-crystalline Aluminum alloy plates.
Engine: Hydrogen Electric for high fuel availability (incorporated electrolyzer) and hydrogen ‘starter’ tanks), mobility and low heat signature (can use hybrid diesel electric)
Speed; 55 mph (road)
7.4 knots (swim)
Crew; 3 (Tank Commander, Driver, Gunner)
Price; 4,600,000
Deployment; The Kodiak is a heavy solution to mobile Armor, supplying powerful Anti tank and Infantry support options.
The Kodiak is a powerful Main Battle Tank capable of moving fast over a large number of rough terrains, surviving against powerful enemy weapons and retaliating quickly and accurately. The Kodiak utilizes revolutionary ‘drive by light’ fiber optic controls which give it unprecedented flexibility and ease of repair while minimizing problems caused by electronic or traditional mechanical controls. The Kodiak utilizes a state of the art Auto loader that stores all ammunition outside the crew compartments to minimize the dangers of accidental detonation of ammunition. The Bezzle mounted autoloader features blow out panels and an easy reloading design that minimizes time spent outside the tank. The three crew members sit in specially designed ‘cockpit’ like seats with all relevant controls placed within easy reach, this design minimizes space required for the crew and gives more space for the armor, giving this tank some of the heaviest armor for its class in the world. The multiple small hydrogen ‘stacks’ of the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power plant are incorporated into the frame of the vehicle to increase armor protection and create a power plant redundancy, several of the stacks can be penetrated or otherwise destroyed and the vehicle can continue functioning, at least enough to exit the combat zone (if a hybrid diesel electric drive is used, the space saved from eliminating the electrolyzer, starter tanks and fuel cell stacks is used for the engine, in this configuration the engine is forward of the crew section to provide additional front protection) The BUCKLER active defense system uses four small metal storm grenade launchers wired to an all aspect millimeter wave radar mounted on the turret, this radar detects incoming threats such as enemy tank rounds and anti tank guided missiles, relaying the range, vector and speed to the appropriate grenade launcher this system allows the grenade launcher to fire a round into the path of enemy attacks, causing the weapon to either prematurely detonate or causing it to veer off course.

Speed; 55 mph (road)
7.4 knots (swim)
Crew; 2
Price; 2,500,000
Deployment; The Tempest is meant for mobile support of amphibious and airborne attacks and assaults while sustaining fire, heavily armored, amphibious

The Tempest is a highly mobile solution to armor support, utilizing the latest in automation, fiber optics and digital control systems, the Tempest is the first ‘drive by light’ armored vehicle. The vehicles two crew, gunner and driver, sit side by side in fully integrated command and control environments similar to a fighter aircrafts cockpit. These ‘cockpits’ contain two stick controls, the driver’s controls operate the sight and the vehicle movement and the gunner’s sticks controls the gunner’s sight and the turret. In the event of an emergency, either crewmember can slave the other crewmember’s controls to theirs. Because of the compact crew space, the AAV has one of the highest armor values per volume of all armored vehicles, with an equivalent armor scheme to most MBTs while only the size of a small IFV. The position of the crew section, the Tempest has an extreme armor slope that maximizes the effectiveness of the armor and minimizes profile. The multiple small hydrogen ‘stacks’ are incorporated into the frame of the vehicle to increase armor protection and create a power plant redundancy, several of the stacks can be penetrated or otherwise destroyed and the vehicle can continue functioning, at least enough to exit the combat zone (if a hybrid diesel electric drive is used, the space saved from eliminating the electrolyzer, starter tanks and fuel cell stacks is used for the engine, in this configuration the engine is forward of the crew section to provide additional front protection)

As of right now, The Army and Marines are very interested in your M160-A1 Phoenix Next Generation MBT as their main battle tank, and if I remember correctly, H-F developed an aircraft to transport those beasts, so they are looking very good right now. Along with the Magnum MANPATS system.

all the Service arms are interested in your M12 Pistol as a Sidearm too.
(And you might want to fix the pic of the Heavy lance... Photobucket is spazzing over it)

We are interested in the "Predator" For the sidearm of the whole service, and how does it's reciol feel?

I'm sorry, but your lines of products aren't being considered as of right now, thank you for your offerings

TO:Isselmere Motorworks storefront
From: Jason Schnieder
The Illiorian Marines are very interested in your L12 Otter family for their amphibious assault vehicle, along with all four services being interested in the L16 Series to fill a multitude of roles (Specifically the APC, NBC vehicle, possible airdefense, ambulence and Engineer vehicle) and the L21A&B variants. The Army and marines are also interested in the 155mm Self Propelled gun family and the 205mm Assault gun family and the logistical vehicles you offer...

Kriegzimmer would like to introduce some of its armaments for this massive contract bid. Pardon the lack of eloquence in the list to come, but it's just as said - a list. We would be happy to, however, ask any questions you may have over potential candidates for your armed forces. But without further adeu, what we have to present. For the main battle tank we present the Nakíl main battle tank (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=478771), and in the fifth section of the pamphlet there are other variants of the Nakíl up for purchase. This includes the Síeren tank destroyer and the SRE.14 Fernántes bridging unit. Soon we will have an engineering variant, but it has not been put on the market yet. For scount vehicles and light armour we present the G11 series of lightweight vehicles (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10476388&postcount=1255), including the G11/A Armed Reconnaissance Vehicle,
G11/B 80mm Self-Propelled Mortar, G11/C Artillery Command Vehicle, G11/E 80mm Automatic Mortar and the G11/G Light Tank Hunter. For a mobile air defense platform we have two things to offer, the Praetorian II (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9775276&postcount=645) mobile surface to air missile battery and the SPAA-1 (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10467193&postcount=1243). For light tank choice we offer the Arca. II Ashurbanipal (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10343747&postcount=1106). This other weapon is a relatively experimental weapon used almost exclusively by the Empire and some clients, TX.98 Mobile Gun System (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11021347&postcount=1514). Finally, at least for vehicles, we have a lot of artillery to show off, although not all our ideas are completed yet. However, what has been completed is in the following: Gertantel 155mm SPH (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10877801&postcount=1448), Corbulo SPA (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9582285&postcount=428), G6 Self-propelled Mortar (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10471544&postcount=1250) and the 254mm G17 Self-Propelled Mortar (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10469006&postcount=1246).

Now for infantry weapons. Although not 6.5mm and above we feel that the Hali-42 (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10206106&postcount=969) would be a good choice. We also have a .50cal sniper rifle, manifested as the GH-31 (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10026256&postcount=877). For tank work we have two choices, that the Ejermacht fields jointly, the Tagus (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9551904&postcount=417) and the DNR-13 Recoilless Rifle (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10398867&postcount=1147). For APC and IFV we have the SOV.17 Ejíard IFV (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11013051&postcount=1508) and the Arica. I Shalmanesar HAPC (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10254597&postcount=1037).

We await further news on the subject.

Our subsidaries, Union Heavy Vehicle Works and Aurora Infantry Arms Industries have expressed their joy that you have chosen their M160A1 Maint Battle Tank, the FGM-11 MANPATS and M12 Pistols to fufill your military contracts.

While we would need a solid number to state an accurate price for your purchase you can count on at least a 15% Allied Nation discount.

We hope that these weapons will serve you military well. Also the Skyian Military has infomed me that they are interested in your transport aircraft, which they have but off buying only because of budget concerns, the cost of your contract could be lowered even more if we come to an agreement over the transport.

As of right now, we are interesed in the "Sampson" Battlesuit, and although the Hali-42 is not of 6.5mm, It is now the front runner for the assault rifle. The Ejiard and the shalmanesar are both being considered. The Gertantel is also a highly interesting one, along with the G-17.

Thank you,

Oh well, at least you are aware that we exist and that we offer some nifty hardware and services.

And Pheonix, as much as I badmouth your merchandise we still buy some of your stuff from time to time, some of it is pretty good and not offered anywhere else.

Also, I downgraded the Street-cleaner specs that I bought from you (Pheonix) to the original 10 Ga as requested. Though I still hope you fixed the 0.0 that you kept placing before the Ga. rating.

Anyone care to give an estimate on what an 18" MA fuzed 'canister' shell loaded with AT cluster bomblets would do to a tight pack of 75 AGS light tanks at point blank? (I recently RPed firing a PROHT CR-18 railgun in fashoin stated above)
The Parthians are having trouble deciding what it would have done to his tanks and men.

OOC: Updated again, and Mac, I want to work something out with the Nakil, Seeing as I'm thinking about using it's chassis everywhere else. As of right now, I'm considering it for the Medium Battle tank position, as the M160 is about 10 tonnes larger, just by classifications. another note too, I'm seriously considering going over the 4000 limit here, probably in the range of anywhere of 10-20 times that limit with what I'm thinking here for numbers... if we could talk about it over AIM or TG, that'd be great... I'm trying to get all this figured before I go to italy on friday...

[OOC: If they are explosive formed projectiles/self-forging fragments, and assuming that they hit, they would most likely penetrate the turret of the tank and kill the crew - at least partially. That's if they are sensor fused. If they are dumb sub-munitions then as long as they hit. Depending what tank Parthia uses he may or he may not be able to defend. All tanks will be able to enshroud themselves in smoke, which may partially blind the radar on the submunitions, and allow some of the tanks to escape - others will have active protection systems, enhancing survivability. But dealing with such an attack is going to be, at best, rather painful.]

[OOC: I've actually breached that limit quite a few times. I really use it as an easy way to restrict the number of tanks sold to nations that I really don't want to sell many tanks to. With you, that should be a different story. Space Union recently did something similar, buying the Nakíl as a lighter alternative to his other tank - the UDEC Lion.]

At point blank (less than 100 m) with Muzzle action main fuze, they won't have time to deploy smoke, they do have ERA however. Accuracy isn't really an issue, this would be like shooting a 4 gauge punt gun at a barrel of dead fish at 10 feet. Those that miss act as mines. Those that hit will most likely bounce, land, arm, and blow up the tank (or worse, penetrate by shear KE, then blow up).

This insight has been very helpful.

Also, The PROHT 35 mm CC-35C man portable Anti-Material Rifle should prove more than adaquate. Design is similar to an upscaled PTRD with rail for a scope.

Here are a pair of small arms from the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Ordnance Factories (apologies for the very brief write-ups):

Royal Isselmere-Nieland Ordnance Factory (RINO) Showcase

L17 Assault Rifle

The L17 is bullpup design based on the British EM-2 rifle but using the forward case/cartridge ejection system of Fabrique Nationale - Herstal's F2000 5.56 x 45mm assault rifle for improved ambidextrous firing. A folding charging lever is on the spine of the rifle underneath the picatinny rail. The picatinny rail permits the fitting of a wide variety of aiming devices, from iron sights, optronic sights (optical, thermal, infra-red, holographic, and low-light), to the RINO's computerised sight (RINOCS).

The RINOCS enables a soldier equipped with a connected helmet mounted display to look and fire around corners without exposing much of him- or herself. It may also be used to compute impact point of either direct fire (bullets) or indirect fire (rifle grenade) projectiles and, in conjunction with other aiming devices, may allow similarly equipped soldiers to designate targets for other members of the section or squad.

The operation of the rifle is as follows: gas from the propellant impinges through a cavity in the barrel to the gas tube above. This gas pressure then forces back a gas piston that acts on the bolt carrier, causing the bolt itself to rotate ejecting the case or round. The rotating bolt mechanism both reduces the number of parts and the overall complexity of the design, as well as facilitating field stripping, cleaning, and operations. Cases/rounds are then ushered out of the front of the rifle by the bolt carrier. The ejection port in the front of the rifle opens and closes with the action of the bolt carrier, closing when the bolt is forward. The forward ejection system facilitates ambidextrous firing yet protects against the ingestion of foreign materials into the rifle's mechanism.

The L17 may easily be fitted with an underbarrel grenade launcher, such as the M203, or a non-lethal attachment, such as the FN303. It may be fitted with other aiming devices and peripheral equipment, such as a laser aiming device, a torch [flashlight], and other systems as required.

Characteristics
Calibre: 6.5 x 39mm Grendel (123-gr {7.97g} bullet, 265-gr {17.17g} cartridge)
Weight: 3.54kg (empty, with 1.5-power scope); 4.94kg (loaded with 3.5-power scope)
Length: 800mm
Barrel length: 533mm (21")
Operation: Gas (piston), rotating bolt
Cyclic rate: 750-800 rpm
Muzzle velocity: 792.5 m/s
Firing modes: Single-shot semi-automatic, two-round burst, full automatic*
Magazine: 30 rounds
Price: $2000 base cost; $2250 with 1.5-power scope, $2450 with 3.5-power scope, $2175 with holographic weapon sight, (HWS), $2850 with computerised aiming system
(And safety, of course)

L19 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG)

Based on the superb Mitrailleuse d'appui général (MAG) and Minimi machine guns from the Fabrique Nationale - Herstal, the L19 GPMG will serve as the new section and platoon-level machine gun in the UKIN Defence Forces (UKIN-DF).

Like the Minimi, the L19 can accept either belted ammunition or magazines from the new L17 assault rifle to fire providing flexibility of operation. Similar to both the MAG and the Minimi, the L19 has a gas regulator allowing the gunner to select the rate of fire or to compensate for adverse conditions. As with those two designs, this gas regulator is attached to the quick change barrel permitting rapid barrel changes in combat without having to resort to tools. The barrel has, however, been chromed to reduce fouling and to prolong barrel life. The barrel release is on the sturdy carrying handle. The L19 has a push button safety.

The L19 is equipped with a picatinny rail atop the cartridge feed cover able to accept a variety of sights, from standard day optics to thermal imaging or other systems.

Characteristics
Calibre: 6.5 x 39mm Grendel (123gr {7.97g} bullet, 17.17g cartridge)
Mass: Overall (empty): 8.86kg; Barrel: 2.4kg
Length: Overall: 1075mm; Barrel: 540mm
Range: 1,000m (bipod) (generally 800m)
Operation: Gas (open bolt), air-cooled, belt- or magazine-fed
Cyclic rate: 650-1,000 rpm
Firing modes: Full automatic only (ambidextrous push button safety)
Price: $4500 (includes spare barrel and 1.5-power sight)

These are for the positions of Marines and Special Forces

Contract: Carbine
Weapon: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/KGBFaTaLsHoT/G12A4.png

// Abstract //

The G12 is the next, and first generation assault rifle for the Asperitan Armed Forces, or the AAF. Over several dozen years of learning and understanding the mechanics of the Assault rifle, and the most successful designs the Asperitan research department came up with this weapon. At the forefront of plastics, polymers, and light weight metals this rifle was born.

The rifle uses a bullpup configuration, following the recent rise of bullpup rifles, but attempts to capitalize on the configuration to increase potential muzzle velocity, allowing for greater penetration. It also relies on caseless ammunition, as opposed to cased ammunition to no longer risk jamming and if the need arise have an ultra high possible ROF to hose down targets in lead. The G12 also sports a fully modular barrel which can easily and quickly be changed out in less than a minute if the need arise. The weapon it’s self is fully modular as well, the body made for quick field stripping for adjustment of the RPM.

This rifle over the years has become a favorite amount Asperitan soldiers because it simply never jams, is a breeze to clean and maintain, the ability to quickly change out the barrel, it’s perfect length of not being overly long and so to be cumbersome.

The point of choosing 5.7mm ammunition was out of logistics. It was decided that after several hundred meters the bullet would begin to tumble causing an astounding amount of hydrostatic shock though not fatality knocking out the Opfor and two other soldiers. A medic, and a soldier to help him off the field, meaning 3 soldiers for one bullet, maybe 4 soldiers if the Opfor requires a second helper to be dragged off the field. Another reason was that it easily could become Super Sonic and perform better as an armor piercing round than say 7.62 as the size causes more friction due to it’s diameter.

Also a small heavy density steel rod weighs down the weapon near the fore-grip in which a small knob which can be turned can distribute weight according to the users preference. Otherwise, it is perfectly distributed upon standard issue.

The G12 A4 sports out of others, a comfortable stock, stylish body, ability to be quickly field stripped and a medium length and density barrel.

Also Asperitan Novac Lo Carry Transparent Blue Holo Sights make up the standard issue Iron Sights.

G4 Machine Pistol
// Abstract //

Due to the necessity for a weapon to replace the current Machine Pistol arming officers and pilots and such due to it’s unreliability, weight, and size making it a bit uncontrollable the G4 was made to replace it.

The G4 excelled in being visually pleasing, accurate, small, powerful and reliable. It was to replace the MP5 in current use and did an excellent job at it using patented quad recoil springs arrangement allows for decreased felt recoil and increased service life of the Machine Pistol. The frame of the weapon is made out of almost entirely high strength polymers. The weapon also features a large trigger guard for comfortable shooting even with gloves. The G4 is issued with quick-detachable silencers, Novac Lo Carry Transparent Blue Holosighthttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/KGBFaTaLsHoT/Gun%20Pictures/Sights.jpg, made in USA by Knight's Armaments Co, and with laser pointing module, which installs on the under barrel, or above the barrel RAIL systems. Despite being ridiculously reliable it’s light, and comfortable to wield and fire making it a favorite amongst gun aficionados. Also the weapon is intended with use of the 4.7x39mm high velocity ammunition which claims 100% penetration of CRISAT body Armour (1.6mm of Titanium plus 20 layers of Kevlar) at the distance of 280 meters.

The weapon features a comfortable soft polymer fore-grip which can be detached to reveal a medium length RAIL mount directly under the barrel for the attachment of tactical grips or laser sight or any other equipment which may be equipped on a RAIL system. Despite that the rifle also features a fully detachable and folding stock for comfortable shooting, or light weight, unhampered spraying on the go. The gun it’s self is athstetically pleasing and light, as well as being a scaled down version of the G-12 Asperitan standard issue assault rifles featuring all of it’s pros and less of it’s Cons. One of them being size and lack of recoil dampening. Also, the weapon if asked, can be made metal detector proof. In which integral parts are all changed to super high strength polymers and ceramics which not only makes the weapon heavier and not as reliable as it should be but it also makes it stealth and perfect operations. Ammunition of course isn't detectable as it is caseless, unless your using a ferrous metal cased/core bullet. Despite that this weapon is a prime choice for Special Operations personnel or Pilots due to it's reliability, simple construction, light weight, and comfortable forgrip and normal grip as well as folding stock. Also the Blue transparent sights make pointing and shooting a breeze, and even easier for repeated shooting because the sight is not obstructing the target or surrounding it. It is giving the best of both worlds with none of the cons and so repeated firing is as easy as single shots and just as accurate as well.

Not only that but AS 4.7 and 5.7 ammunition comes with a small laminate which completely vaporizes with heat and get wiped clean from the chamber with the expanding gasses. The laminate acts as a waterproofer, and keeps in enough oxygen to allow for oxidation and combustion of the grains. Which in turn means this weapon can theoretically be fired in the vacuum of space or in underwater conditions](Not Recommended)[/I]. Another reason 4.7 and 5.7 were chosen as the weapons main ammunition choices were that the bullets begin to tumble after a rather short distance causing much hydrostatic shock. Which in turn equals lots, and lots of stopping power, and not only that but range shouldn't be a concern with bullet tumbling as range would be concerned with use of Rifles or SMG's. The weapon also features adjustable barrel weight rods which are packaged with the gun. The rods are weighed at 5 lbs meaning, when inserted, make the gun 10.5 lbs total. The small cast-iron knob located just above and in front of the trigger guard can move the rod to the users preference making kick and uncomfortable felt recoil only small annoyances.

OOC: Blah blah, order confirmed. XD

The Isselmere-Nieland Defence Industries Association, on behalf of its member-firms, accepts the orders from Illior and offers the L31 Mammoth obstacle clearance vehicle for Illior's engineering vehicle contract, noted below:
Please note that L31 is the Isselmere-Nielander Army's classification for the vehicle rather than the manufacturer's model classification number, which starts with IMW-...

L31 Mammoth obstacle clearing vehicle

The L31 Mammoth obstacle clearing vehicle (OCV) is an armoured engineering vehicle system designed to remove natural and human-made hindrances from the path of mechanised, motorised, and dismounted units. The front of the Mammoth can fit a variety of dozer-blade or other engineering equipment attachments to assist in mine removal or other combat engineering functions, while the turret sports a short-barrelled 165mm howitzer as well as a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun, two overhead weapon stations (OWS) capable of fitting a 40mm automatic grenade launcher, a machine gun (up to 15.5mm calibre), or a similarly sized device, and a 23.5-tonne capacity A-frame winch/crane. The rear of the L31 can house a combat engineer technician to manage the Bloodhound mine detection suite, the L87L Rattlesnake articulated mine clearance system trailer, and an uncrewed ground vehicle such as the mine-clearing Marmot or Penguin or the combat-ready Hyena or Jackal or further ammunition and modular charges for the 165mm howitzer.

Design
The chassis of the L31 is based upon that of the L21 Kodiak series of tracked heavy armoured vehicles, granting the hull the same level of protection as that of the Kodiak main battle tank. The attachment mounts for dozer-blades on the L21 series was, however, strengthened to accept heavier equipment as well as greater stressors. Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) shielding has also been improved to cope with the power of the Beagle broadwave remote detonation disabler system, which is capable of producing a strong radio pulse capable of over-riding improvised and otherwise unshielded remote control detonation devices.

Owing to the winch/crane and its associated mechanisms, the turret does not offer precisely the same level of protection as that of the L21 main battle tank (MBT). The slope of the armour is reduced slightly near the fitting and the placement of some components has caused for a reduction in spacing within the armour. The fitting of a larger calibre weapon has also led to a modest decrease in protection on the turret’s front face, although the addition of modular armour before the howitzer’s mantlet as on the turret of the Kodiak does greatly minimise the consequent weakening.

Armour Pattern [Secret IC]
The L31 may be fitted with appliqué armour, slat armour, Palisade non-explosive reactive armour (NERA) blocks (which may be coated with Crinoline infrared signature suppressant paint), or may be prepared to attach the additional armour supplements used by the purchaser.

As noted above, the armour pattern of the Mammoth is similar to that of the Kodiak. It begins with Crinoline paint upon VLQ.291 electrostatic discharge panels. The VLQ.291 system is capable of defeating electrically or electronically fuzed munitions aimed at the vehicle by sending an electric pulse at the object, pre-detonating it before the weapon attains lethality. The sturdy dielectric panels are made of metal-doped carbon-fibre reinforced ceramic blocks upon semi-hardness steel (SHS) plates backed by insulating interlocking ballistic ceramic blocks and rubber buffers between the panels and the first main armour layer. If Palisade or other NERA or explosive reactive armour (ERA) is fitted, the panels may be detached either completely (as with ERA) or to be placed atop the new armour layer (with appliqué armour or NERA).

Since not all weapons that might be aimed at the L31 would be so fuzed, the Mammoth’s skin is capable of defeating kinetic energy weapons as well. A titanium-vanadium-aluminium (TVA) alloy shell forms the first layer of traditional armour. This first layer is able to counter many earlier high velocity guns and rocket propelled grenades (RPG). Should a chemical or kinetic energy weapon break through that layer, it will encounter Cuirass ceramic armour blocks backed by SHS sandwiched between two layers of kinetic energy resistant insulating (KERI) foam. KERI foam has a high melting point, reducing the energy of the molten jet created by a chemical energy round as does the low thermal conductivity of the ceramic plates. Cuirass ceramic plates have less brittleness than the earlier Baldric blocks, countering one of the significant problems with ceramic armour.

Under those first two layers comes an interstice of ballistic polymer fabric sheets suspended within a ballistic plastic shell. The third stage itself is founded upon a cage of tungsten-steel bars within further KERI foam sandwiched by ceramic- and carbon-fibre reinforced composite, composite honeycomb, and ballistic polymer fabric. This third level is the thickest layer of armour and provides the best protection against kinetic energy penetrators, such as depleted uranium (DU) bolts within many armour-piercing, fin-stabilised, discarding sabot (APFSDS) rounds.

Next comes another set of Cuirass ceramic armour blocks in KERI foam over a nickel-tungsten steel shell. The nickel-tungsten steel shell provides the last layer of effective defence against most rounds, but it offers very effective protection on its own. Under the shell comes an anti-spall liner of tempered ballistic plastic, Hauberk, and ballistic polymer fabric.

Environmental Awareness and Control
In order for a modern combat engineering vehicle to do its job, its crew must be fully aware of their surroundings night or day and in all weather. The vehicle must also be able to operate effectively within toxic environments. The Mammoth is well-suited to provide its crew all they may require.

Situational Awareness
Situational awareness involves knowing where one is and one’s foes are on the battlefield and what sort of environment in which one finds oneself. To those ends, the L31 has a broad array of sensors to detect opponents and toxic environments, permitting the crew to cope with both.

The Mammoth offers its crew exceptional visibility in all weather conditions, day or night, with the Arachne optronic sensor blocks (OSB) of the L21 series of tracked heavy armoured vehicles, the two overhead weapons stations (OWS), the commander’s independent optronic sensor cupola (CIOSC), the gunner’s optronic targeting system (GOTS), and the driver’s optronic sighting equipment (DOSE). The Arachne system comprises six armoured vision blocks arranged to provide a 360-degree panoramic view with high resolution charge coupled device (CCD) offering low-light level television (LLTV) and imaging infrared (IIR) images presented on the vehicle’s touch sensitive Tactical Awareness Display System (TADS) of active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCD) permitting the crew to identify and target an enemy in conjunction with the Mammoth’s main gun or OWS.

As well as the Arachne’s six OSB, the driver and commander are each provided with another set of OSB. The driver has three OSB equipped for LLTV and IIR to enable him or her to navigate at night and in dreadful weather conditions, whilst the commander has four similar OSB situated on his or her turret to indicate for the gunner or loader and to prosecute targets with the OWS.

With their high vantage point over the vehicle, the two OWS can see where the other OSB cannot. Although the optronics on the two OWS do not have the same level of armour protection, they have up to 6x magnification and they grant their operators the ability to search for enemies and prosecute them within the security of the vehicle.

The CIOSC has a broader array of sensors from which to choose. The armoured turret can withstand 155mm shell fragments as well as 20mm shells and can swivel through 360-degrees to giving the commander the ability to investigate the surroundings, to select targets for the gunner to attack, and to perform one of the vehicle’s primary tasks of searching for mines and improvised explosive devices (IED). Equipped with a laser designator/range-finder (LDRF), IIR, an imaging ultraviolet (IUV) sensor, and an LLTV CCD. The CIOSC permits the Mammoth to sniff out residual traces from mine/IED emplacement as well as nitrates leaking from the explosives themselves, forming only part of the vehicle’s mine countermeasures suite, as will be explained below. The systems within the CIOSC offer up to 12x magnification.

Sighting for the main gun is provided by an LDRF and the GOTS. The GOTS permits the gunner to identify targets with thermal imaging, IIR, and CCD imagery capable of 18x magnification.

Threat Management
Vision, even assisted by the best enhancements technology can offer, can only give only a portion of the needed battlefield awareness to survive in a modern war. One needs to know precisely where one’s friends and one’s enemies are lurking. The Hedgehog threat management system, using information generated from the Mammoth’s position locator device (PLD), the vehicle’s identification friend or foe system, and secure datalinks with uncrewed vehicles connected with the L31 as well as other vehicles and aircraft, presents the crew with a two-dimensional overhead perspective of the battlefield or, where digital mapping of an area exists or where three similarly equipped vehicles are able to triangulate and survey an area, a three-dimensional image of the terrain on their TADS. The Clarion positional locator device (PLD) operates using information collected through a secure datalink (the Brono tactical datalink in INA and RINM service), the Mammoth’s identification friend or foe (IFF) system as well as the vehicle’s own hybrid navigation system consisting of a GPS system embedded within a dual laser ring gyroscope inertial navigation system (LINS). These systems give the L31 Mammoth the opportunity of both finding chances that might otherwise be neglected and of avoiding difficulties that might not otherwise be foreseen.

Since not all things dangerous can necessarily be seen with the naked eye, the Mammoth possesses radiological and chemical sniffers to test the air and soil for toxic contaminants.* Should an NBC hazard arise, it will be presented upon the crew’s TADS. The L31’s over-pressure air conditioning system further ensures that the crew is not unnecessarily endangered, and the crew stations have been constructed to be operated from within NBC protective suits.

Armament
The L31 is equipped with a short-barrelled (12-calibre or L12) 165mm conventional howitzer firing a 29kg high explosive squash head shell to destroy enemy positions and a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun. The howitzer is fed by a semi-automatic loader from an armoured magazine containing 36 shells and another with up to 96 modular charges. The 7.62mm coaxial machine gun has 1200 ready rounds as well as a further 2400 stored.

Each of the two OWS may sport a 40mm automatic grenade launcher, a lightweight 20mm autocannon, or a machine gun with a calibre of up to 15.5mm. The ready magazine and stored round capacity of each depends on the weapons carried and the necessary safety measures for ammunition storage.

Mine Countermeasures Suite
The Mammoth supports a wide range of equipment to detect and dispose of mines and other ordnance such as unexploded munitions (UXM) and IED. For maximum utility, the L31 operates with a modified remote-capable uncrewed mine clearance version of the L15 Badger series, the L15MN(D) Aardvark, and two Marmot DLMC series of uncrewed ground vehicles (UGV).

The Aardvark advanced clearing vehicle (ACV) and the Marmot UGV are operated by remote control either through a datalink or by a secure digital video feed. The datalink permits line-of-sight (LOS) control up to about 4 km away whilst the secure digital video link allows operation from up to 5 km distance. The Aardvark, equipped with either a surface munition clearing device or a mineplough performs the initial sweep of an area, using magnetic signature duplicators (MSD) fitted to both attachments to pre-detonate magnetically fuzed mines as well as an IIR-IUV turret, the CIOSC, to detect thermal variances in the soil caused by the presence of mines or IED. Cleared lanes are marked by side-mounted marker dispensers and mines by a mine-marker dispenser arm fitted to the centre-rear of the Aardvark. A rear-mounted optronic turret with an IIR camera and an LLTV CCD permits the remote operator to ensure the mine marking system is working properly and to detect any further mines that might have been subsequently revealed by the mineplough.

Behind the Aardvark come the Marmots. The two UGV possess a broad array of detection equipment. An extremely sensitive minimum metal detector (MMD) array fitted to the front is able to detect small amounts of metal needed for fuzes within non-metallic mines. Behind the MMD is a ground penetrating radar (GPR) set able to detect not only non-metallic mines but deeply implanted mines as well. A forward-looking IIR CCD scans for any thermal anomalies within the soil that may have been missed by the Aardvark. Should any mines, metallic or otherwise, be detected by the Marmot, the vehicle uses its thermal neutron activation detector to identify high concentrations of nitrogen revealed by the strong electromagnetic pulse emitted by the GPR. Should a mine or IED be confirmed, it is marked with a post-marker by an articulated arm.

Mines are not simply physically marked, but are fed into the Bloodhound mine detection suite using the Aardvark and the Marmot’s hybrid navigation system consisting of a GPS embedded LINS, which provides accurate 12-figure grid references that are fed into the Mammoth’s Hedgehog threat management system.

Once a minefield has been detected and marked, the Mammoth or the Aardvark will advance with the three-cell L87L Rattlesnake mine clearance device trailer. The Rattlesnake is a 260m long, 22cm diameter flexible tube filled with 220m of insensitive explosive attached to a Venturi rocket that is capable of clearing a corridor up to 230m long and 7.5m wide. The trailer itself is well armoured against most threats up to 30mm rounds fired from a conventional chain gun.

In its mine clearing capacity, the L31 is fitted with a mineplough in place of its dozer/obstacle clearance blade. The mineplough is equipped with magnetic signature duplicators that fool magnetically fuzed mines into detonating prior to being ploughed. The plough permits a 4.6m wide, 30cm deep lane to be cut through shallow minefields at speeds up to 15 km/h.

Rather than the mineplough or surface clearance blade, the Mammoth may be fitted with a mine-flail or a fore-and-rear mine roller set, the latter which may be equipped with a set of MSD.

Other Fittings and Roles
The Mammoth may be fitted with maxi-pipe fascine launcher above the turret enabling even heavy armoured vehicles to cross gaps up to 5m in length and depth. Up to three bundles of 2500kg may be carried.

Carbine/Handgun/Sub Machinegun:
"Off the shelf" design:

CZ-75 Automatic

9 mm
Fully automatic
Very Accurate in Semi-Auto
A RL gun so you really don't need to pay anybody

I thought the thread died...

There is a PROHT model with detachable buttstock, screw on barrel extension, bipod, and scope available, but that is a RL inspired NS gun, and would be easily escribed as a concealed carry full auto carbine with 20 round clips, good light urban "sniper rifle" for assasinations. Or you can just hose the area with 9 mm bullets on full auto at a distance comparable to a submachine gun.

Lol... It didn;t die, I just went away for four weeks...

and Isse, I still need confirmation of those contracts for the L-17 and L-19

BUMP for visibility...

We also recommend to use MPV's as SWAT van's, as they are usually way quicker than a normal (industrial) van, and still house 7 people, or more if they will be especially fitted.

(OOC: Just a word of advice: If you would like any of these cars, I would like you to point out that the Lancia isn't too fast, so the Renault would be the first to be a candidate. The Alfa is also slower than the Audi and BMW, but it is cheaper. I included the Porsche for highway-policing. The Dutch police owned a few convertibles in the eighties and nineties, in which they would set up speed traps, while they still were able to go in pursuit of any speeding vehicle without leaving their stuff. This wouldn't be possible with a hardtop coupé.)

OOC: VL, I've got a Hydrogen based transportation system, and personally, I like Alfas but I think Hydrogen Powered Cameros are crazy... and as such, I like them

OOC: I see your point. I could however set myself to work, and let these engines transform into hydrogen-powered ones, if you want. It will however lead to a bit of performance loss.

OOC: Thanks, but no thanks, I'll just use some Home designed crap... and let me know if you want help designing yachts... seeing as I've got some knowledge of it...

We have noticed that you require some military and civilian hardware, and so in a brief time back in the public eye, we will offer you a 10% discount at MierTech (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9945630#post9945630) where you should be able to find at least one item you are looking for.

OOC: it all looks well designed, but alot of it looks PMT (Land battle ships, unmanned aircraft carriers)

OOC: Some of it is (The land dreadnaught definately is - besides the fact that you wouldn't be able to purcahse it anyway.), though most of it should be MT. I generally take tech thats available now and predict what it could become if a few years of solid R&D were put into it, ad almost unlimited funds.

You 'could' rechamber it to 7.62 x 39 soviet. (or the really old 7.62 x 23 mm Mauser)
