Turpin class Police Assault Tank (Domestic)

With the increasing number of terrorists, dangerous criminals, and the occasional RPG toting supervillian, it has become necessary for SWAT teams to employ extremely heavy weapons such as assault rifles, rapid fire submachine guns, armed jeeps, armored personnel carries, and now, a tank.

The Turpin class is based on an agricultural tractor, and is very lightweight. Its welded duraminium armor resists up to .50 caliber rounds, and its 76.2mm Low Pressure Gun, is not as powerful as actual tank guns, but can easily smash down a fortified bank vault wall disguising criminals. Or destroy a runaway killdozer piloted by a psychopath. Its 7.62mm Machine Gun can tear through lighter armored criminals. It can also use a gas canister round to disperse tear gas.

It is however slightly cramped, and cannot take heavy hits from RPGs without attaching the 'fence' or slit armor that comes with the tank.

Order approved, it will take us a year to fully deliver as we are still setting up factories to begin mass production.

I am very interested. What would you say the driving cost for one would be?

OOC: Not much, at todays gas prices the major cost would be fuel. The engine is a Diesel engine from General Resources is very reliable.

But what would the cost be to rebuild an entire neighborhood and all those lives after some madman with an RPG and an AK starts at a preschool and moves down the street?

We'll charge you 45 billion USD for the production rights. We will transmit the plans upon confirmation of payment. We will also transmit the plans for the 76.2mm Low Pressure Gun.

We believe that this tank will not be produced in large enough numbers for your nation to require production rights. Most likely, they'll well exceed the cost by buying them here.

General Resources does not sell equipment to be produced then sold on someone else's storefront.
