1>
CM-26/CM-16 assualt rifles.
The CM-26 may be a bit heavier (12 pounds/5 Kg), but it packs a 100 or 200 round belt feed system.

2>
HT-106
'Heavy tank'

3>
HT-101 (pick turret design)
'Light Tank'

4>
Although the PDE-5 hasn't sold too well (in fact, it never even made a single sortie to date) it is a decent plane, although the F/A-35 Talon (from Flightopia) is a well proven plane, which has earned great respect from other nations. As such in the interest of making sure you get the best, we shall redirect you to the F/A-35 Talon. Ask for it by name.

5>
Two planes offered here:
FMX-6B 'Choper'/'Turkey Vulture'
(Special note: Practically immune to all forms of EMP and radiation)

PDE-3
(A tweaked F/A-35 concept off of the PDE series airframe, optimized for ground attack)

F/A-35
It's still the best overall plane you'll find. A bit radiation sensitive.

Function: Air superiority, ground attack, and interceptor.
Carrier Capable: Yes
VTOL: Yes
Main Contractor: Alldredge Weapon Systems Inc.

Propulsion:
- Two Pratt & Whitney F120-PW-100 engines and two Pulse Detonation Wave Engines (PDWEs).
Thrust:
-P&W Engines, 39,000lbs each, for 78,000lbs total.
-PDWEs, 80,000lbs each, 160,000 lbs total.
Length: 72.08 feet
Height: 19.67 feet,
Wingspan: 56.5 feet
Horizontal Tailspan: 36 feet
Operational Ceiling: 110,000ft.
Max Celling: 150,000ft

Range:

-3,800 km (Standard Combat)
-5,850 km (Combat With Internal Droptanks)
-Unlimited (With In-flight Refuling)

Speed:
-Mach 1.1 (Cruising)
-Mach 1.7 (Supercruise)
-Mach 1.9 (Afterburners)
-Mach 5.8 (PDWEs/Max Speed)

Climb Rate:
-Normal Sustained (Jet Turbines): 532 m/s
-Max (PDWEs): 4,600 m/s

Weight:
-Max Take-off Weight: 71,000 lbs
-Empty Weight: 32,265 lbs
-Normal: 49,600 lbs

Crew: One
Armament:
-One rotating internal weapon launchers, the launcher can hold up to 12 missiles, or bombs. This keeps the airframe sleek and the radar cross-section small.
-Two 20mm Vulcan cannons mounted on the left and right sides behind the cockpit.
Compatible Weapons:
-AIM-150 Scorpion AELRAAM, AIM-120 AMRAAM, AIM-7 Sparrow, AIM-9 Sidewinder, AIM-120 AMRAAM, AGM-160 Hammer AELRAGM, AGM-154A, AGM-154B, AGM-154C, AGM-136A, AGM-158, AGM-84 Harpoon, AGM-98 Swordfish AELRASM, and most of the GBU class of dumb and laser guided bombs.

Radar Cross-Section: With gear up and weapons bay closed, about the size of a king sized bed.

Counter Measures:
-4 chaff dispensers, 10 chaff each.
-4 flare dispensers, 10 flares each.
-6 Missile scramblers, three on the top and bottom of the craft. Send a signal to a missile’s guidance system and confuses it, causing the missile to veer out of control.

Keynote Systems:
-Laser radar (LADAR), uses lasers iin place of radio waves, undetectable to current ECM equipment. Can detect air, ground, and ship targets up 300 km away, including spacecraft in LEO. Allows the ELR (Extreme Long Range) ordanace to use the LRADAR to track thier target, they only need thier radar activated for the final aproach, this means that unless the pilot imidatety breaks and uses contermeasures it will be too late. Devloped by a Flightopian hero, Dale Brown.
-“Scatter Plot” Radar Detection Avoidance System (RDAS). It receives incoming radar emissions and throws them 180º away from their origin.
-VTOL and Thrust Vectoring.
-There are two CIPs (Common Intergraded Processors) in each F/A-35, with 78 module slots per CIP.
-The new EW-789 Electronic Warfare Command and Control Module (EWCCM).
-User-friendly glass cockpit.
-Great performance.
- Two Pulse Detonation Wave Engines (PDWEs), but they can’t be use for long periods of time.
-Swing-wings, are fully folded-in when PDWEs are in use.
-Under belly ducts for VTOLs.

Total Cost (Per Unit): 138 Million USD

OOC: far be it for me to tell you what to do, i would suggest that judging from your requirements you would be aswell using RL rifles which you would be just as cheap producing yourself as opposed to buying from anyone. For logisitcal simplicity i would say use the HK416/417 series: it fills all your requiremetns for both rifle classes.
