As ever we can understand that our principle offerings may not always meet your exact requirements which is why we continue to offer our exceptional customisation and upgrading services, so please, feel free to ask about any specific requests.

5. Maths: feel free to do your totals or ask me to do it, i have a habit of randomly factoring in discounts for large orders and indulge in rounding of numbers so the expected unit prices might not always match the price you pay.
6. if you make a purchase from this store and then use it in a wanky fashion, it will simply cease to exist, any questions about how something would work or how to use a peice of equippment can of course be asked and i will try to answer.

To whom it may concern,

In keeping with efforts to maintain the Commonwealth Navy at a high level of performance, and recognizing a deficiency in our current VTOL anti-submarine warfare platforms, and mindful of our previous dealings with Crookfur Arms (though these have been with the Commonwealth Army), we would like to tender a bid for two thousand one hundred eighty four (2,184) CFHN-23E Super Gannet naval rotodynes in the ASW configuration. According to our accounting department, this would result in a total contract price of 67,704 million Universal Standard Dollars.

Sincerely,

Commodore William Stanice, Navy Procurement Office

To whoom it may concern.


As you may be aware the ongoing War of Golden Succession and the part played in it by Independent Hitmen and her allies has meant that there has been a sizeable increase in IH military budgets. This increase, whilst mostly directed towards Air and Naval units, has allowed the Army to purchase additional equipment and we wish to increase those purchases here today.

The Department of Defence is expected to release funding for the acquisition of the following units:

900x T-12 Agamemnon Heavy Tank (@12m each) [Total: 10,800m]
1200x CFAM LAFV23 Jager IFV (@4.2m each) [Total: 5,040m]
400x KA47A2 Goth Gunship/combat scout Helicopter (@12m each) [Total: 4,800m]

Subtotal: $20,640 Million USD (20.64Billion)

Payment can be made via bullion or wire transfers.

Thank you.

Our country has need of a light tank to assist with the defence of Southeast Asia from the hordes of Kraven, and seeing how it would be impractical to try to run super heavy tanks through a jungle, we would like to get our hands on several hundred Koshi's. Though we would like to have the tanks fitted with our native M139 GPMG vs the SX26B, and a 90mm high velocity conventional gun from The Northern Expanse fitted instead of the 103mm (*list of sources where such things can be procured goes here*).
Hopefully we can deal more in the future.

Re: naval/air support systems

The Federation of New Albor recently found that its Defence budget has improved greatly and has been looking to expand its naval power (meaning we need a navy), and air support (helicopters, support aircraft). We have an excellent attack air force, but our logisitcal concerns, well, concern me. If you have an recommendations or packages you might be willing to discuss, please let me know. I am not sure yet if we need an aircraft carrier, but a broad spectrum of other vessels and craft would do.

Thanks in advance for any advice you might be willing to offer.

We are certainly pleased with the variety of naval arms for such a reasonable cost. I think we can just afford the ships and the naval support craft for this NS year (after outlaying to build a facility for these ships). Therefore, a bank authorization in the amount of 5.2 billion USD awaits at Helvetia Savings and Loan for these items.

As for air support, we need some EW craft and AWACS, plus several transport craft of the C-17/C-5 variety for troop movements and large scale equipment transport.

Skibereenian MoD Chief Procurement Authorization

ATTN: Karen Jenkins

With a massive Military Re-structure on going in Skibereen the Government Office in Authority over Procurement was most pleased to find that Crookfur was again available to supply Skibereen with Arms.

Even with the expension of the arms manufacturing sector in Skibereen since the last time any contracts were made with Crookfur the Skibereenian Military has developed a repoire with the Crookfur equipment to the extent is is indeed considered indigenous to most of the Military.

Per previously negotiated dealings we are intiating our sell back option, this is preceding a new large purchase to essentially re-arm the Skibereenian Military.
NOTE: The Skibereenian Military has had no complaints or catastrophic failures of Crookfur equipment, it has always proved fuel efficient, reliable and on par with any systems we have encountered. So while we submit certain items for evaluation on the part of your staff, it is not our intention to eliminate any item which is not expecting an upgrade or has been replaced by a superior model. So for any items no longer in production for which there is no alternative Skibereen would seek to retain the item which can not be replaced.

Battery support to be redesigned/moved to allow for Mult-layer wound Lithium battery, have connection for external supply on ship, on vehicle, or within personnel pack.

Specifications desired Squad Support Gun

Range 1500 m (supersonic)
Caliber Standard Crookfur but willing to try 8x64mm ammo
Max Rate of fire 600+

Really designed to be a decent sniping machine gun with extended range, much as the original design was found to be.

(Trust me, you want to start shooting things in the Klatch as soon and as hard as you can)

OOC:
Since the actual body materials of the SX23 is some hat vague this cna be done. In terms fo extending the optics mount i'm not sure eactly what you mean by extending, the top rail is currently about 600mm long so there is plenty of length, or do you mean widening it from the current Picatinny standard size? i'm sorry if i am being a bit dense on this.

For an expanded battery caapcity room could be amde in either the fore grip or in a specially designed stock and an external connectio point would be entirely possible (prime locations being on the bottom of the hand grip or pretty much anywhere on the S-RIS).

it took me a while to figure out what you ment by the squad support gun but i think i have it now, did you mean the S2A3 LSW? For and SAW/LSW/SSG weapon are you looking for a weapon that is basically similar to the rifle but with a longer barrel and bigger magazine or somethign a little different?

Super sonic rnage for the 6.6x48mm maxs out at about 1000m in its long rnage loading although my 8x67mm does get out to 1400-1500suepr sonic and effective to beyond 2000m. I persoanlly wouldn't like to try implementing my 8x67mm ammo in a sqad size weapon as it is a meaty round (closest Rl round would be .338 lapua magnum), it could be done in some sort of low rate fire long recoil operated weapon but a full machine gun would be well into the medium MG area as opposed to GPMG class.

Of coruse my thinking could be going off on a random tangent here.

Automatic Rifle

Did not realize it was a rail mounting for the optics, so no changes needed there.
I guess the question becomes how much extra room do you have presently surrounding the current battery?

Squad Support Gun

I call it a Squad Support Gun, but really we are trying to develop a weapon which has an effective range greater than the rifle, but really doesn't need a maximum rate of fire above 300 per min. (Actually few nations train their fighting forces to use the full auto on their rifles in the first place)

A LSW is really desgined to allow a trained gunner to place fire at a given location in support of a military squad. I suppose a redesign of your exsiting LSW along the same requirments as the rifle is needed.

The 'Squad Support Gun' I envisioned/use is primarily designed to be utilized as a sniping repeating Gun (SRG I suppose) designed to put acurate fire at longer distances at a moderate rate of fire. Typically it has been used to...

1) Disrupt enemy formations at distance allowing the main squad to move under semi-protection, especially at a distance...

2) A stop-gap sniping rifle when needed

3) Effective weapon for destroying difficult Klatchian Preditors

4) Use to pin down enemy snipers, provide sniper support in Sniper/Counter-Sniper teams

One of the reasons that I like the 6.4 is RL it has a lower 'drag' coefficent apparently allowing it a greater distance to stay at supersonic....

I am begining to think I need to develop a new ammo type for this weapon actually, since I think one could achieve the range requirements with less recoil at 6.4 than 8...just based on what I have read recently...

17-03-2007, 00:13
Ah so you are really looking for somehting a bit more DMR (designated marksman rifle) like but with a secondary supressive fire capability. In short a selective fire "accurised" weapon perhaps like the MK11 (basically a hybird between the G3 rifle and HK21 MG).

I did a quick couple of calcs on 6.4mm bullets, and you could get a 150grain bullet to stay super sonic out to 1500m if you had a muzzle energy of about 4000j which isn't far off high end 7.92mm mauser loadings. It likely isn;t a round you be issueing to every one but it would be worth it for a specialised weapon.
The mechanism of the SX23 could be adapted to this round and this sort of role and could perhaps be put into a bullpup layout to keep size down, if automatic fire isn't a major concern then the recoil management system of the SX23 could perhaps be dropped in favour of a recoiling assmebly
Alcona and Hubris
18-03-2007, 15:47
Well the bull pup idea does have merits, however we would also prefer it if the gun had an integrated tripod, considering its predecessor's is used quite a bit and effectively in the field.

The weapon needs to maintain automatic fire capability with a magazine capacity of at least 80 rounds between reloads (40 rounds being the minimium to take down a full sized Klatchian Croc) versus what the MK11 is capable of...

Although we could use a semi-automatic rifle for 6.4 caseless ammo for diplomatic battalions.
Crookfur
31-03-2007, 22:54
Please excuse the long delayed reply.
I must appologise for missing this the first time round: you have exsiting weapons that do more or less what you want but you want more modern versions. is this right and do you have any notes or stats on these weapons?

I'm sorry if i have been been looking at things from the wrong angles.
i have a few thoughts on the SSG, but that was looking at a fairly light manportable weapon but when you mention the tripod i realise you might be looking at somethign heavier.

Re: Jager production licensing

Dear Sirs,

Many thanks for choosing Crookfur Arms.

In regards to production licenses we offer a range of options.

A straight outright purchase of a Domestic Production License package (which would include assistance with the setting up of production facilities and extensive training and technical support) would cost approximately $3billion

Alternatively we can offer packages of a per unit License fee combined with an initial set up charge i.e.

For 1000 units we would ask for 5% of the cost of each unit plus a $2.5million set up fee ($167.5million)

For up to 5000 units we would ask for 4% of the unit cost plus a $5million setup fee ($665million).

We are of course willing to negotiate to come up with a mutually agreeable package.

Kind regards

The Emirate of Sultenia thanks Crookfur Arms for this oppertunity as it might be give both of us something to profit on.
Our test-results will be announced within a week after their arrival as they will be put through a 4 part test to determine their potential.


Mobility
Handling
Warzone Capability
Tolerance


First two points will be determined by assigned crew from The Armed Forces of Sultenia, both operators and passangers.
Third point will be determined by how the CFAM LAFV23 Jager IFV faces different battle situations urban combat, assault situations, ambush, unconventional weapons etc.
Last point is something CFAM LAFV23 Jager IFV might not get out of as a "intact" unit. This test is to find out what it takes to damage, immobilize, render totally useless (temporary), damage beyond repair and utterly destroy the CFAM LAFV23 Jager IFV.

Representatives of your company are welcome to watch the last part of the testing as the last results are taken into the equation. Hopefully a deal can be signed on this day as well.
