The Armed Republic of Koenwitz realises the problems new nations face in equipping their armed forces. Military materiel can often be highly expensive and purchasing it in large quantities can leave your nation almost bankrupt.

Koenwitz is willing to offer a helping hand. Our Army is currently undergoing a dramatic re-armament plan that, consequently, has left us with large stockpiles of new and used weaponry that will probably end up rusting away in the bunkers underneath Nicole Heath. We would rather not waste perfectly good weaponry, and so we are offering our surplus at extremely reduced rates for start-up or very young militaries, or militia and police organsiations.

All materiel has been manufactured at the Spreelow Munitions Works, which has been in operation for over 150 years and ensures that all of its products are of the very highest quality.

We regret that we cannot offer our entire catalogue (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/The_Weaponry_of_the_Army_of_Koenwitz)of materiel, but the equipment on offer proved highly successful during the Great Patriotic War of 1986-1991 and, we are sure, will be equally so for your army. We also regret the high shipping costs attached to the products, but alas, Koenwitz has a very small and costly merchant fleet, and until our export market grows we will have to pass their costs on to the consumer.

Hoping that this is of interest,

Shipping Costs

For shipping costs, merely double the price of every item you purchase. E.g. If you buy a single crate of MP-49 SMG's at $595, add another $595 ontop for shipping. We regret that we have to do this, but currently Koenwitz has only a very small merchant fleet that is costly to run, and until it proves more profitable, we will have to pass this cost onto the consumer.

Additional information on the development and combat history of these weapons can be found here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/The_Weaponry_of_the_Army_of_Koenwitz).

Looking forward to doing business,
