Sequoia Weaponworks announces the P270A Diablo Combat Pistol for international export

HARMONY CITY, E.A. (June 14, 2007) - Sequoia Weaponworks of Etoile Arcture is proud to announce the introduction of the P270A Diablo Combat Pistol and P270CP Police Service Pistol. The first examples in a new family of polymer-framed 9 mm and 10 mm pistols fit for the 21st century.

(P270A-M5 Diablo shown with OD green frame and black oxide slide)

The P270A Diablo Combat Pistol is a short recoil operated, locked breech, semi-automatic magazine fed handgun chambered for either the 9x23mm Winchester cartridge (model: P270A-M4) or the 10x25 mm Auto cartridge (model: P270A-M5).

The design is based on a modified Browning-type linkless cam-locked breech action with inline feed. A dual recoil buffer spring is used to decrease felt recoil and increase overall service life. Other features of the P270A include double action-only (DOA) trigger, a slide stop and ambidextrous safety/decocker levers that disconnect the trigger and hammer for “locked and cocked” carry at Condition One. The trigger guard is oversized for use with gloves and has a recurved hook for the index finger.

Construction of the P270A Diablo consists a fibreglass-reinforced polyamide frame with anonidized aluminium insert and integral underbarrel accessory rail, a black oxide carbon steel slide and a chromed steel polygonal rifled barrel. Magazines are made from polymer plastics with stainless steel reinforcement. The overall shape of the P270A Diablo is smoothened and radiused to ensure no risk of snagging on draw. The front and rear sights are removable and mounted on dovetail grooves and include luminous dots for night shooting.

Standard equipment is a Emerson Optronics MK 1 Multifunction Illuminator attached to the underbarrel accessory rail. This is a powerful solid state Class IIIa visible light laser diode selectable between flashlight mode (95 lumens brightness, range 50 metres) and aiming spot mode (range 30 metres in daylight and 450 metres in low light). The weapon is also fully compatible with other commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) sights and accessories using the MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail system.

Your order for 50 handguns of each type for evaluation (total quantity 200) comes to a net total of NS $107,700. Unfortunately, export of such low quantities of material is subject to export controls and has been rejected by the Foreign Ministry.

In light of the recent announcement of infantry small arms trails in your nation. Sequioa Weaponworks is willing to participate in these trails - at company cost - and can send a armourers team and 200 examples of each weapon for evaluation by your military. Permission has been granted by our government and our team can arrive within 1 NS weeks to take part in trials.

We will keep Republic Defence in mind as we move forward into these new areas.
