IMPORTANT OOC NOTE

This will work like this. If you want to make a one-time sale for your military or such, this works like an ordinary storefront. However, if you wish to buy something for the civilian population – maybe my bayonet-knives sell very well to your hunters, or maybe your people are allowed to buy my rifles – then simply state how many of those sell per year in your nation, like "N ABK 1 Bayonet-knives sell per year in Bigtopia".

Thank you in advance for being so nice and following these guidelines.

Allanean Arms Bayonet Knife Mark I

When Allanean Arms were asked to produce a traditional bayonet-knife for the Allanean Army and Marines, they didn't think twice about what they would use as the basis for this weapon. Even at that time – before the Edolian Wars, when Allanea was a young nations of only 150 million population – it was clear what the mainstay combat knife would be modeled upon. And never since has Allanean Arms, Incorporated - or the Allanean Army – felt the need to change anything major about this knife.

Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, we present the Allanean Arms Bayonet-Knife Mark One – modeled, of course, on another classic design, the Bowie knife. It's likely that if Jim Bowie would have seen it, he would have somersaulted in his grave – with joy. And so will you once you have your hand on one of these babies.

Blade shape: As you already understand, this is a Bowie knife. The blade is ten inches long, exceeding by half an inch the blade length of the Gerber Bowie knife that served the Allanean Arms designers as an inspiration, and it is 8mm (5/16ths of an inch) thick at it's thickest point. The combat edge is razor-sharp (almost literally – rumors tell of Allanean Marines using these knives to shave), and sharpened throughout it's length, while on the blunt side, as proper for a Bowie, only the leading 3 inches are sharpened with the same quality.

Material: Here's where the knife differs from, and exceeds in quality, it's relatives. It is made from high-carbon ATS-34 steel, and then covered in black through the use of titanium nitrate. This makes the blade less noticeable in darkness.

Grip: The tail-end of the knife runs throughout the grip, and as such the main function of the grip is an ergonomic one – or so would you think. However, the Allanean have put a heavy metal garde between the blade and the handle proper, which makes the knife slightly heavier to use for bludgeoning if needed. The grip can be also used to affixe the knife as a bayonet to a standard Allanean assault rifle, or any rifle that is compliant with the Allanean military standard. The handle/grip itself is covered in ergonomic rubber for ease of grip, and the pommel has a plastic, virtually unbreakable compass in it – by this we mean you could hit someone over the head with this pommel, and be much more likely to crush his skull than the compass.

Scabbard: The knife comes with a simple, carbon-fiber, rigid scabbard. It has two external pockets on one side, one that carries a length (5 meters) of paracord for your needs, and the other carries an emergency supply of combat drugs – an adrenaline pill, a methampethamine pill, and a third pill, usually an Insta-Test testosterone pill.

”Desert Seagull” Mark II Semiautomatic Handgun

In late 2006, the military of the United States of Allanea was seeking a new handgun model to replace the aging Desert Eagle Mark XIX series of semiautomatic pistols. While the old Magnum Research construct provided the Allanean military with excellent stopping power, the United States military has not been satisified with the handgun especially in terms of the low ammunition capacity it provided, and it's extremely heavy weight.

The first modification of the Seagull (so named as a designer in-joke at Allanean Arms, Incorporated) has failed the Joint Forces Procurement test, as it broke down after approximately 10,000 rounds have been fired through it. The Corporation had then tried to market it to the civilian market in Allanea, but failed miserably. As such, work began on the Desert Seagull, Mark II, Semiautomatic handgun – and here it now is before you.

The Desert Seagull is essentially an oxymoron in terms of handgun enthusiasts – it's a handgun in the .50AE caliber, but unlike the original Desert Eagle, it is designed for military use and self-defense in mind where the Desert Eagle was originally designed for hunting and long-range pistol competition shooting – something to which such high-caliber pistols are usually relegated in the opinion of common sense gun experts. This is precisely why it is called the Desert Seagull.

But of course, Allaneans don't really care about the so-called common sense of 'gun experts' – especially foreign ones. As they have already been using the Desert Eagle as a military handgun (though in practice the majority of military units deploy a variety of .45 pistols, mostly varieties of the venrable 1911) – the Allaneans were quite willing to now switch their entire military to what the Rejistanians would call an entirely alhanija'het handgun.

And so was born the Desert Seagull.

Action:

Like it's forefather, the Desert Seagull is essentially a gas-operated pistol. However, replacing the Desert Eagle's complex gas-operating system - wherein gases were diverted from the chamber and forward down a gas tube and almost down to the very tip of the barrel, where they would then be diverted into a small chamber whereby pressure would be enacted to move back the slide and reload the gun – the Desert Seagull simply enacts a system similar to that on a standard rifle, whereby gases are merely diverted from the barrel and into a pressure chamber where they would move back the slide similarly to an AK-47's gas-piston system. This modification was carried out in order to increase reliability of the gun, an object that seems to have been accomplished fairly well by Allanean Arms, Incorporated.

Frame:

The first thing that one would notice when heaving the Seagull in hand is that it's lighter then what you would expect a handgun of this type to be. And indeed, the outer frame of the pistol had not been made out of metal, but out of polymer plastic similar to that on the Glock and USP series of handguns. The rationale behind that is fairly obvious – soldiers need to carry lighter guns. However, it has to be added that this has an obvious disadvantage – it increases recoil. As one would assume, the designers at Allanean Arms, Incorporated wished to counteract that as much as possible -if only to make it easier and cheaper to train soldiers and officers in the use of the Seagull.

And indeed, they have come up with a solution. Not only have they used a gas-operated action (like the original Eagle) to reduce the recoil of the .50AE cartridge, but they have done more - ensuring that the Desert Seagull now comes stock with recoil-absorbing grips similar the famous Pachmayr recoil absorbing pistol grips from the 20th and early 21st century. Combined with the lower-recoil gas operation system, they have actually made recoil with the Seagull vaguely sustainable!

Barrel:

The barrel, 150mm long, is a special baby of Allanean Arms, Incorporated. Manufactured in the Corporation's new factories in Non-Earth Kentucky, the barrel is quite different from its older sister the Desert Eagle Barel. Not only is it fully-polygonal, but it's also computer-manufactured to ultra-low tolerances. It is suspected that it's the price of the barrel that comprises 50% of the price of the Seagull pistol.

The more interesting bit of the barrel is the end – that's the more interesting bit of any handgun barrel, but that of the DS is perhaps more interesting then those of most such handguns. While normally, it is covered by the slanted end – which is designed to imitate the Desert Eagle Mark XIX pistol, once you disassemble the gun, you will discover a most wonderful quality – the barrel is threaded, just like the barrel of a standard-issue military rifle. This is so you could... that's right, mount accessories on it!

And what are those accessories? Well, Allanean Arms had been nice for my readers, and put out a series of features for the serious Desert Seagull fan. Here they be listed:

DS-M1S – this is indeed a Desert Seagull Mark One Suppressor. As all of those devices, it reduces the audible sound and visible flash of the handgun, and is designed specifically for use with threaded barrel .50AE handguns – which is, with the only such handgun in existence, the Desert Seagull. It is interesting that it has a decorative slanted end, like the barrel tip of the original Desert Seagull. This means that once you screw your DS pistol together, it will essentially look like you somehow simply constructed a longer barrel frame.

DS-M1FS – this is a Flash Suppressor. Unlike the device above, it suppresses merely the flash of the .50 Action Express caliber, but looks visually almost the same when mounted. This may be desirable when you do not to deal with the accuracy loss that is often associated with sound suppressors. It's cheaper, too.

DS-M1RB – this does just the reverse of a flash suppressor – and looks like you've screwed on a longer barrel and made ports on it's upper side. That's because it is, essentially a set of attachable barrel ports – a recoil brake. So your muzzle flash will be transcending from really big to really huge, but at least you'll have less recoil. And with the Desert Seagull, that's a very good thing.

Trigger:

The trigger on the Desert Seagull... well, let's put it this way. The Desert Eagle Mark XIX has been designed as a single-action sporting handgun. The fine people at Allanean Arms have kept true to that heritage, and made the trigger lighter. Much lighter.

This is, in effect, what people refer to as a hair-thin trigger when they are not in Allanea. In Allanea we call this a good trigger, and then grumble and move on when foreigners call us mad. As for those who really care for the number, it's below 1 lb.. Beat that.*

Safety:

The Desert Seagull does not, unlike most military handguns, sport an external safety. An internal hammer safety exists, however, on the Seagull, to prevent it from being fired – except when the trigger is pressed. Combined with what we already know about the Desert Seagull trigger, this is a powerful argument from keeping your finger on the trigger until you make the conscious decision to fire – which, in the words of Colonel Morrison, of the Allanean Special Forces, is what you're supposed to be doing anyway.

Sights:

The Seagull arrives from the factory equipped with a pair of ordinary pistol sights. Well, they'd be ordinary, but they are sitting on a Picatinny-type rail – which means you can take them down at any time, and replace them with a sight system of your choice – for example, an optical scope. They also have tritium inserts – and that means you can use them at night.

But that is not all. The handgun is equipped by not one – but four Picatinny rails, on the bottom, top (where sights sit), and sides of the barrel. In the words of Kevin Nivensky, Allanean Arms immortal CEO, 'and you're perfectly free to mount a laser designator on any of them. Fact is, we'll provide you with one.'

As indeed they do. Allanean Arms, Incorporated is already marketing a laser designator for the Seagull, one that is pre-sighted for use with the Seagull and standard .50AE rounds. It points within 1 inch of the point of aim at 50 feet.

Magazines:

Thought had been put into these objects of art, as well. While the DS accepts typical Desert Eagle pistol magazine, those for the DS are longer, angrier bastards, designed to hold a full ten .50 Action Express rounds. Yes, they poke out of the grip a bit. On the other hand, they are polymer made, and weigh in fact 50 grams less then a Desert Eagle magazine, loaded.

Platform-Based Design:

Just like its forefather the Desert Eagle, the Seagull can be converted to a different caliber by simply replacing the barrel, bolt, and magazine with one of the requisite caliber. While they are not out on the market yet, Allanean Arms is rumored to be planning variants in .44 Mag, .41 Mag, .357, and some other calibers. Kevin Nivensky, CEO of Allanean Arms, refused to comment.

Holster:

Allanean Arms Corporation would not be its usual excellent self if it didn't supply the handgun stock with an excellent leather holster. It is not, however, your daddy's concealed carry holster – mostly because it's a military gun after all, and besides concealed carry went out of fashion decades ago in Allanea. This, ladies and gentlemen, is an excellent cross-draw shoulder holster. It's made in Nmgweni, where laborers are paid 2 Menelmacari Credits per hours, but it still is an excellent thing, and should command a great price in and of itself – as we predict it will at gun shows in a decade or so.

The holster has, of course, most excellent retention capability – even though it has no retention strips, it performs by having the gun held in by retention padding inside the holster, so it cannot be dislodged by performing strenuous activity – such as strangling a communist guerrilla with your bare hands – with your gun on. There's only one way to dislodge it, and that's actually deliberately draw the pistol.



Caliber: 12.7mm
Weight:1500 grams (215 grams lower then a Desert Eagle]
Standard Capacity: 10 rounds
Barrel Length: 150mm, polygonal barrel
Trigger Pull: 1 lb. or lower.
Price: $500













*For comparison, the trigger pull on the Springfield Ultra Compact had been clocked at 5 to 6 lbs, the Kahr PM9 has taken the 8 lbs peak, and the S&W 640 double action revolver is similar as well.

The picture is not mine. It came from here (http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Rifts/Rifts-Equipment.htm), and started it's life as some FT gun. I think it's happier as an MT/PMT AMR, though.

SU-25AL Flying Tux

You know, we all love the SU-25 (”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SU-25”). You know what? The Allanean Army loves the SU-25 too, and they loved it so much, they cooperated with Allanean Arms to make it capable of modern (OOC: NS) warfare. And this is what we are now presenting to you – the SU-25AL (Allanean).

What are the differences, you ask?

First of all, we replaced the computers. Now, the onboard avionics are all Linux-running, open-source-compatible monster cards, capable of tracking multiple targets and competing on a modern battlefield. Using the onboard SkyTux v. 2.0 weapons control program, the pilot of a SU-25AL can in fact target up to 6 separate targets for missile fire, and then fire at all six simultaneously.

Second, we have improved engine power and wing construction, so, while externally similar, the aircraft can carry 600 extra kilograms of ordnance on 13 hardpoints – enhancing the amount of firepower that you can carry and aim with that open-source Linux goodness.

Third, we have replaced all of the observation avionics. Now, the aircraft is mounted with FLIR, terrain-following RADAR, and modern communications gear, allowing it to pipe out up to 100 mbps of data to your equivalent of MILNET. All avionics are capable of tracking moving ground targets such as tanks and IFV’s.

Minuteman IV powered armor

As we all know, the powered armor suits used by the Allanean military – the excellent BDU-64 body suit promoted by Kriegzimmer corporation – are essentially more of a full-body protective suit then true powered armor. True powered armor provides it's wearer protection on par with that of modern IFV armor and strength sufficient to rip open appartment doors and civilian vehicles with one's bare hands.

It is to enable the Allanean Army to deploy really heavy firepower in urban and underground warfare scenarios that Allanean Arms has decided to deploy this new suit – the Minuteman IV powered armor suit.

While weighing about 700 kilograms, these suits are not exactly the heaviest of military contraptions out there – but they are indeed heavier then common infantry. They are to be used sparingly and with the understanding of what precisely they're for – combatting light infantry and guerilla attackers is their main role, together with counteracting human-wave type attacks.

Sensor Suit - The Allanean military has specified the necessity of multi-spectrum sensors to be present on the suit of powered armor. Allanean Arms has risen to the challenge marvelously – conventional optics been augmented with the SureEye v3.0 package (providing up to x15 image magnification in the regular sight range, a low-light observation and anti-dazzle protection), a RADAR suit, regular sattelite uplink communications (via MilSat or Elepalantir sattelites alternatively). Additionally the vehicle has been equipped with the 'Mad-Eye' Infra-Red Targetting and Detection Suit, and a LASER and microwave detector suit – to tell the user if he's tracked by RADAR or LIDAR, or targeted by the above means. Naturally, the above gear is variously EMP-shielded.

Medical - The suit is equipped with an Allanean Arms 'Laurie' automatic doctor system. Based off the automatic medical monitoring systems tested by the US Army for the Future Force Warrior projects, this will monitor the medical status of it's user and update the commander and unit teammates if anything goes wrong. Additionally, it carries autoinjectors with supercaffeine, metamphetamine, testosterone and adrenaline, to enhance the trooper's performance in battle.

Reality Interface Systems - The targeting on the suit's external weapons (except carried weapons, which will be detailed below) is carried out by a Virtual Reality Interface. The soldier does not in fact percieve reality through windows or holes in his powered armor (they do not exist), but from complex minicamera feeds. The system tracks his eye movements, and allows the soldier to blink deliberately to control the system's target selection (a voice control system is also available). Up to six targets can be tracked separately.

Armament - The suit comes stock from the factory with either an Allanean Arms Helix 10-gauge gatling gun/grenade launcher, or the Allanean Arms Firestorm 12.7mm gatling gun. The weapon is targeted conventionally, and is capable for laying down perfectly obscene amounts of firepower. In close quarters, it is downright overkill – but then, in close quarters, all of the suit's weapons are overkill. It's kind of the point.

But there is more. Mounted in the suit's left-hand (internally) is a heavily-modified Allanean Arms Mjolnir 25mm pistol/grenade launcher. In this version, it has a stock of 20 rounds of ammunition. It is targeted from the suit's VRI node.

Mounted in the right hand is the Allanean Arms Liberator-pattern flamer, and we all understand how beautiful these babies are in close combat.

Additionally, mounted in various parts of the suit are 16 20mm mini-missiles.

Weight: 700 kilograms
Cost: $250,000

OOC: Yes. I am aware of the tactical deficiencies of powered armor. Further, I am no military design expert. I have constructed this contraption based on the Maximum Metal design rules from Cyberpunk 2020, a game set in what is a thoroughly PMT tech level. As such, this is thoroughly PMT, rather then MT.

ulberny will purchase 2

As a replacement for our aging Soviet and Mauser-style bayonet stocks, Wagdog would like to order fifty-million ABK Mk1 Bayonets for all branches of our armed forces. The rifle in question to mount these is the E-19, and we believe it is compatible with Allanean standard since both slot and ring mount facilities for bayonets are available on said rifle. Our total comes to $7,500,000,000 USD, which amount has been set aside for wiring upon order confirmation.

Sincerely,
-Deputy Secretary for Procurement James Dolands, USSW Department of Defense-

This order is of course approved.
