Transatlas Defense Industries (TDI) announces its new line of weapons, first developed for the Transatlas Defense Force, and now available for export.

Rifle, Service, Model 1 (R1)
Based on the battle-tested Israeli Galil, which has served from the Negev to the Kalahari, the R1 is chambered in the hard-hitting but controllable 6.5x39 "Grendel" caliber. Feeding from a 30 round box magazine, the R1 features an 18" barrel, folding buttstock and integral bipod. Designed for reliability, the R1 uses the near indestructible Kalashnikov gas system, and features a milled receiver for durability. The weapon is select fire. Price per rifle: $900

Rifle, Carbine, Model 2 (R2)
A short barreled version of the R1, the R2 features a 13.5" barrel and the R1's folding buttstock for compact storage and maximum maneuverability, without the bulky integral bipod. Price per rifle: $900

Rifle, Marksman's Model 3 (R3)
The ultimate precision rifle for your squad's marksman, the R3 is based on the accurate AR-15 platform, and features a free-floated railed forearm, railed upper receiver, bipod, and adjustable buttstock. Chambered in 6.5x39 "Grendel" or 5.56x45 NATO. Comes with flip-up iron sights, scope available for additional cost.

5.56x45, no scope: $1,800
5.56x45, scope: $2,500
6.5x39, no scope: $2,000
6.5x39, scope: $2,700

Shotgun, Service, Model 1 (H1)
Based on the Kalashnikov gas system, the H1 semiautomatic combat shotgun features a 16" barrel, folding buttstock, bolt hold open, Galil-style thumb saftey, and feeds 12ga. from a 10 round detachable magazine, a serious advantage over shotguns with internal magazines. The Kalashnikov gas system also makes the H1, unlike other semi-automatic shotguns, extremely reliable. Unit Price: $900

Machine Gun, Light, Model 4 (M4)
The M4 is based on the Vektor S77 LMG. Firing 6.5x39 ammunition from an open bolt, the M4 is the perfect complement to the R1 and R1 for any force seeking to transition to the 6.5 "Grendel" cartridge. The M4 is belt fed. Unit Price: $2,000

6.5x39 Manufacturing Line
The 6.5x39 "Grendel" cartridge is new, and is an excellent compromise between the 5.56 and 7.62 NATO rounds. It has stopping power comparable to the 7.62 NATO, but without the high recoil. The 6.5 also has a flatter trajectory than either NATO round, making it ideal for long range engagements. Unfortunately, this excellent small arms cartridge is rare, and difficult to obtain in large quantities. That's why TDI has decided to sell manufacturing lines for the 6.5x39 round to complement sales of its new rifles. Manufacturing equipment can only be purchased along with 6.5x39 caliber weapons.

Price per line: $100,000
