To: Department of Defense, Tenesh Delorian
From: Nicholas V. Smith, Director of factories, Illiorian Arms.
Dear sirs or Misses, as per your request, Illiorian arms is willing to offer to sell the following units to fit your needs.

For the Role of Air superiority fighter, we suggest the following
-The ISF-12 "Dart" is a cost effective Air superiority fighter that isn't as advanced as the rest of the aircraft, but is cheaper and more maintainable.
- The ISF-33B "Caid" was originally meant to be a carrier based Air superiority fighter, so its take off and landing requirements are much smaller than most other fighters.
-The ISF-17 is the most advanced manned ASF in the catalog, with the most advanced technology, the best materials, etc.
-The ISF-24 SASUCAV, IA's top of the line fighter, an unmanned gem that can outperform and outdo almost any other fighter, and take on roles that are too dangerous for normal pilots.

For the Role of CAS, I suggest
-our A-15, a tough and sturdy aircraft that can do a large amount of damage to any forces on the ground with its potent combination of guns and missiles.
-The GS-423 Roc is a CAS aircraft based off of a transport body, but it carries a large amount of potent weaponry that can literally rain fire from the sky.
-The IAL-4 variant is basically a smaller version of the GS-423, and just as effective, just cheaper and smaller.

For AWACS, I suggest the S-54 for a smaller AWACS, the IAL-4 AWACS variant for a larger area and the GS-425 Nightwing for the absolute largest.

For medium (for I don't know your definition of medium) I suggest the IAL-4 series, and for a smaller option, I suggest the IAL-6 series.

For the heavy transport, I suggest the IAL-4 series for the smaller variant, or the GS-4 series for larger needs

Our whole catalog featuring all the products mentioned above can be found Here (http://z7.invisionfree.com/Illiorian_Arms/index.php?act=idx)

:: The Model 14.0 or M140 SMG ::
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/KGBFaTaLsHoT/2ignldy.png

Caliber: 5.6mm x 30 mm Cased Ammunition
Action: Gas operated, rotating bolt
Operation: Semi Automatic / 2 Round Burst / Automatic
Overall length: 20 inches
Barrel length: 12 inches
Weight: 5 Pounds Empty, 6.8 Pounds Loaded
Reliability: The P-100 has fired 40,000+ rounds without cleaning, nor failures and retained a perfect finish from when inserted in our lab tests.
Though battlefield conditions estimate 10,000- before needing to be cleaned, expect failures and jams.
Rate of fire: 800 RPM
Effective Range: 220 Meters
Feeding: 50 round transparent polymer straight magazine (illustrated above)

:: Abstract ::

Taking on the already robust and well known design of the P90, Ganj national R&D added similar technology found in the re-vectoring KRISS SMG and made it much more effective. As the old P90 which was already in wide National circulation became widely dated. It was modernized to keep these dating weapons effective. They also re-arranged where the grip, trigger, fore-grip, and re-vector box were to be located. Thusly creating a much more comfortable, accurate and controllable gun. They also, reshaped the gun and magazine to fit the slightly longer bullet casings to increase effective range. This new age PDW proved its effectiveness in Ganja inspected lab tests. Where the vectoring technology completely got rid of upwards recoil, leaving the operator to only combat slight torque.

The weapon other than what was said above, remains relatively the same.

Phoenix Dynamix has everything except a 203mm howitzer. We have a 200mm howitzer, but you can place a special order and we will put the slightly larger caliber in it.

You can see what we have here (http://phoenixdynamix.proboards38.com/index.cgi)


Also the Diesel Electric submarine we have is not in the regular catalog. You can view it here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12326250&postcount=6)

FIREARM INSTRUCTION MANUAL (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/XM320-M4.jpg)
HURTIAN HM-320 ROCKET/GRENADE LAUNCHER/LIGHT MORTAR

Overview:
The HM-320 is a radical new concept of underbarrel weaponry, combining the portability of an underbarrel launcher, and the lethality of a Meduim Anti-tank Rocket Launcher.

The HM-320, however, has inherent dissadvantages/advantages compared to conventional rocket launchers and grenade launchers.

The gun has no backblast, and is therefore safe to fire from very confined areas.
This gun has a very noticeable recoil, and should be taken into consideration whenever handling this weapon. Whether it is loaded or not.
Accuracy and range are limited. And considerably less than that of purpose built specialty man-portable anti-tank weapons, but on par with most disposable LAWs and UGLs.


Design:
The HM-320 is a heavy smoothbore 40 mm weapon, with projectile locking lugs (PLL[discussed later]) in the chamber, this also serves as the extractor for spent cartridges.

The HM-320 has its own sight system offset to the left or right side, and allows for the gun to be sighted in on one gun, removed, and then placed on another without requiring another sighting in seession.

The HM-320 has a quick-detach mechanism, but due to the masive recoil it must handle, involse two locking levers, but this can still be removed with one hand, in one solid motion by pressing the two lug mounts together and pushing the assembly forward.

The barrel swings to either side for loading of long 40 mm grenades, and ejecting casings from oversized grenades. The barrel is secured in the fire position by a switch operated by the thumb behind the pistol grip of he launcher. This button must be pressed to open the action.

There is a mortar baseplate attacment point just above the thumb switch

To load and fire a [breech loading] 40 mm grenade:

Open chamber by pressing thumb switch and then pushing barrel to side with index finger.
Insert grenade intyo breech
Close action, no buttons need to be pressed to accomplisg this, but a loud click will be heard, one can minimize this noise by pressing the thumbswitch when closing the action, gently.
Sight must be flipped in the 'up' position to function properly, provided sight includes front (post) and rear (leaf tangent/peep) sight. Sight is graduated out to 400 yards, but it is recomended that you get within 100 yards before firing.
Shoulder gun if it is not already shouldered, lean into the expected recoil
Aim, then Pull trigger, we can't stress how important it is to aim before pulling the trigger enough.
Press thumb switch, open action, PLL automaticly ejects cartridge ven if it has not been fired.


Loading and firing oversize grenades up to 60 mm diameter:

Insert grenade into muzzle, rear end first
Twist grenade in counter-clockwise motion (from shooter's perspective) until it stops, this locks the grenade in place, arms the firing pin, arms the grenade, and keeps it from falling out during combat manuvers. Failure to do this will resualt in accomplishing nothing.
Get into a prone position, press stock tighly into shoulder, deploy bipod if available, and brace body for recoil
Aim
Pull trigger
Press thumb release, open action, PLL will eject initial propellant charge container
To remove unfired oversize grenades, twist grenade in clockwise direction and pull grenade out of breech while pressing thumb release, but do not open action, as that may damage the greande.


Alternate Method of firing oversize grenades up to 60 mm diameter:

Place Buttstock of rifle firmly on the ground
Elevate gun, using sights in extreme down position, as described for firing mortar shells
You do not need to remove the launcher from the rifle to do this


To Fire Grenades larger than 60 mm (or mortar shells):

Remove grenade launcher from parent gun
Attach to a mortar baseplate or any other suitably sturdy object
(armor plate, log, wall, sidewalk, detached body armor section)
Pistl grip should be facing you and sight should be in 'extreme down' position, a 2nd front sight is used for this oberation, and is calibrated for firing grenades at angles greater than 45 degrees from horizontal.
Loading/unloading is similar to 40-60 mm oversize grenade
Aim
Pull trigger
Open action to remove spent casing
Re-attach HM-320 at end of firing session

NOTE: the gun will be used 'upside down'. This gun also includes a light detachable 'Universal firing plate" which is concave in shape, we strongly stress this is NOT a "knee mortar". This gun also comes with a stand-alone stock, mostly for training and sighting in. Both rear attachments connect to the mortar baseplate connector. The UFP also can serve as a heat shield for the grenade launcher when not needed.

Planning on a 60 mm 'Metal storm' export version...
(must fire with stock firmly secured, tube extends along either left or right side of gun, rather than underneath, MS firing system can be replaced with a conventional breech loading action)
Nah... I'll let some other storefront pick that idea up...

Oversize projectiles for HM-320: (In order of recoil)

60 mm grenades (comparable to M72 LAW)
90 mm grenades (Comparable to AT-4)
60 mm Mortar shell /w/ 40 mm adapter
PG-2/PG-7 AT rocket assisted grenades with reduced initial charges
80/81/82 mm Mortar shell /w/ 40 mm adapter
105 mm rocket assisted grenades with reduced initial charges (300 meters when fired at 45 degree angle)

Everybody's current systems have been taken into consideration. We are still waiting for others.

Heavy armored personnel carrier:
Currently our HIFV, the MAF-41 Cuirassier [image (http://www.meatballs.terminator.org.uk/crookfur/images/Cuirassiermk60.jpg)] is in the final stages of development, as it stands it carries the same armour as the T-14 MBT and mounts a 60mm CTA gun capable of dealing with most medium and some heavy vehicles. We do understand that this weapon might not be on interest and as the design is still under devlopment it would be no major issue to redesign the vehicle to meet your requirements
