OOC: Ok, here is the deal. I didnt include prices because lets be honest prices have as much to do with the buyers 'favor' in the eyes fo the arms seller as anything else...not to mention the quantity.

Considering many nations do not manufacture all of their own anything...people should be trading like mad. Also considering some of hte most advanced war systems are almost all international endevours like for instance all the US Bae stuff is well actually British in origin...and so forth and so on.

So if you want to come to my yard sale please do.

Denel AH-2 Rooivalk
The Rooivalk is a latest generation attack helicopter from Denel Aviation of Skib Africa. The Rooivalk provides a key element in peacekeeping operations in which Skib Africa is increasingly involved. The helicopter achieved Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in late 2005.

The Rooivalk Attack Helicopter supports a diverse range of weaponry including missiles, rockets, cannon and machine guns. Centered on a database style system rather then hard wiring makes this the most adaptable Attack Helicopter to new weapons systems in the world today.

G-7 105mm GUN / HOWITZER
The new G7 105 mm has a range of 24 km when using standard ammunition and 30 km when using base bleed ammunition. The need for a light field gun for the SA Army resulted in the funding for the development of a Light Experimental Ordnance (LEO) weapon in the form of a 105 mm calibre field gun. The first trials were held in 2000 with satisfactory results. A pre-fragmented HE projectile has been developed for the system along with APFSDS ammunition.

BRIDGE LAYING TANK
The bridge launching equipment is an electronically controlled hydraulic unit that launches or retrieves the bridge. The bridge is carried on a suitably strengthened vehicle and transferred to the bridge laying tank at the position where the bridge is deployed


BRIDGE LAYING VEHICLE
The bridge laying system consists of a frame fitted to a 8 x 8 vehicle with good cross-country capabilities with a reinforced chassis. The frame carries all of the bridge laying equipment and is shifted along its length on the load area of the vehicle during the bridge laying process. The bridge laying equipment consist of the laying arm at the rear end of the shifting frame which moves the bridge longitudinally by means of a roller guide and a geared drive. There is an arm at the front end, which takes up the top bridge half, and an auxiliary arm, which can support the top bridge half at the rear end. After positioning the vehicle, the top bridge half is raised and the lower bridge half is pushed forward and tilted 10°. When both halves are in position, they are coupled. The shifting frame is then moved out and the supporting hydraulic arms lowered. The bridge is moved out completely and the ramp tip placed on the opposite bank. The other end of the bridge is lowered to the bank.

Contract: Universal Machine Gun
Client: Spizania Military
Abstract: The Spizania Military is seeking a rapidly produced light weight machine gun with a high level or reliability and intimidating rate of fire.
Simplicity of design, ease of maintenance in the field, and minimum of parts are priorities.

The concepts utilized in the designing of the 'SUMG' were to approach the project from what is deemed a 'War Time' mentality.

Function and ergonomics were all important.
Taking concepts from Austrian experience with German arms manufacturing, along with combined arms warfare from the position of the infantryman.

Introduction:
The Spizania MG designed for rapid manufacture, universal use, inexpensive and as reliable as possible while still maintaining a high rate of fire and relative accuracy.

The Experts at Steyr and Vector in the SAR-Arms Consortium came together for a project in simplicity.

The idea was to go 'Old School' and approach the program with a 'War Time' mentality.
Utilizing stamped steel construction where ever possible.

The receiver/barrel sleeve was design as one stamped unit, this was done for reduction in additional parts and manufacturing time.

The Austrians brought to the table the short recoil operation, and for simplicity the weapon would be belt fed only. Single swinging arm claw and belt feeder, the receiver arm and claws on both on a hinged receiver cover. Arm has a curved cam track and the bolt strut rides for and aft, when the receiver is closed, hence oscilatting the the arm and operating the feed.

The weapon uses a short recoilling barrel with a muzzle booster, this is somewhat similar in appearance to the one found on the German MG34, and MG42. The booster utilizes muzzle energy to accelerate the barrel's recoil, and inadverdantly works as a flash suppressor.

Utilizing the MG-42 design with regard to bolt and bolt rollers, and cam system allowing for reliability in operation and simplicity in barrel change. This also allows for the weapon to fired from the open bolt so as to allow for more rpaid barrel cooling which was deemed a priority due to projected rate of fire.

Also taking from the MG42 was the barrel change procedure, allowing the barrel to be changed in the field between six and 10 seconds by a trained individual, a machine gun team could therefore lay down almost continuous fire for an amount of time limited only by ammunition. One draw back was that taking from the MG42 meant the barrel would need to be changed about every 300-400 rounds(this can be pushed as far as 600 rounds but the barrel in testing was seen to glow, a bright orange and beyond that warping was almost assured). To that end the weapon has been given special consideration and it will be sold with one mounted barrel, and three additional barrels, for proper battlefield cycling.

The weapon using the latest composites where stamped steel or rolled steel were not required make this weapon amazingly light, even with the built in bipod for prone position firing the weapon can be fired from the shoulder...though accuracy is questionable from this position.

The men and women at Steyr and Vector have affectionately named the weapon "Zaag van Oorlog" or just "Zaag" for short. The official title is of course SUMG-1.

Currently no Production numbers have been set however confirmation has come that indeed the weapon will be procured.
