Today in ASoGM, the production lines will start working on a new sniper rifle for military and police forces, and will available for export. It is very strongly based on the Walther WA-2000 sniper rifle (original shown here): http://world.guns.ru/sniper/wa2000-2.jpg
and will be chambered either in .300 Win Mag, .308 Nato, or 7.5x55 Swiss (depending on the users preference). The modifications to the original design will be to include an integrated suppressed barrel (no need to attach an external suppressor), a larger, 15 round magazine (as opposed to the original 6 round magazine), and lightweight composite furniture to replace the wood furniture on it. The bipod will be height adjustable, and the receiver will have an integrated picatinny rail for a wide variety of optics.

ASoGM's leading firearms manufacturer has been given the project, and has given it the designation WA-2007. The WA-2007 export models will be offered with and without a serial number (for anyone that may require an unserialized sniper rifle). However, domestic WA-2007 models must have a serial number.

If misused, this weapon may cause serious injury or death. The ASoGM, the manufacturer, and the retailer are not responsible/liable for any improper use of this weapon. Please follow all operating instructions, and use only the correct size ammunition for the weapon.

Livria Land Defense Corporation wishes to enquire,if your company is for sale.We wish to buy your company and incorporate it in the L.L.D.C group but ASoGM would be the L.L.D.C(/Dominant Arms) Customs Works Division and you could still be head(CEO) of Dominant Arms.

Thank You

ASoGM is the name of the nation we are in (it is short for Allied States of Gun Manufacturers), the name of the company manufacturing this weapon is Dominant Arms. We would need to take some time, to discuss with our board members and stock holders, the idea of selling the company. We will let you know.

Maybe it's not a good one. For reference, the best series production sniper rifle, Accuracy International AWM, costs $5000-$7500 (depending on the caliber), then the scope adds another $2000-$5000.

On the other hand, "The AK of Sniper rifles", SVD, costs around $700, though would be more if built in a richer nation. SVU-A (precision rifle, automatic SVD) perhaps $1000, $1400 for rich nation.


P.S. Lol - it's a week old nation's company buying out a 20 months old one... but *.* is possible.

Our volume of business has already created enough revenue to allow us to buy his company.

That expensive? To think that in some parts of the world an AK goes for 100 USD.

100? We sell them at 50.

OOC: OOPS! :(

Thanks for catching that. That's about what real WA-2000's cost, IIRC (and the price I was aiming at).

Our volume of business has already created enough revenue to allow us to buy his company. Well, I won't interfere, your business... But if you're selling AK for $50, your profit margin is perhaps very low, like 5%. Even assuming they're like that cheap Chinese unterersatz in quality.

Precision counts. It's in fact accuracy which first and foremost determines series production firearms cost. [ And, in general, precision has the greatest effect on cost of any machinery/mechanics: +/-0.01mm tolerance part often costs 10 times more than +/-0.1mm one. ] Other things go second, the whole AK with all automatics doesn't cost half as much as just an accurate barrel made on the same factory.

I only sell cheap-o Chinese Ak´s for 50$ if i really need to,you just need to check my storefront to realize i don´t sell them that cheap,all i said is if i want to i can sell them that cheap,but my profit won´t be very big.

And the Ak 47 don´t have anything to do with my volume of business,i sell other models of assault rifles,which are more expensive than the AK-47 and thats what makes us profit.

We have already secured deals of more than 1 Billion US Dollars.
