President Andrews & Staff Attend AY-144 Unveiling!
President & Count James Andrews, along with General Arnold Robertson (Viscount of Throppe), General Allan Milson (R&D), General Mick Washington (Procurement) and Master Corporal Wade Norton (Top Shooter in Orbath), attended a private unveiling of the new AY-144 Modular Assault Rifle, in Yanitaria yesterday. The men were invited to view the rifle, both because of being one of the top importers of Yanitarian made military hardware and also due to Orbath's close allied status and President Andrews' friendship with King Norheim. Although no official report is set to be given until actual trials of the rifle begin in Orbath, all of the men in attendance had the opportunity to fire all of the different models of the rifle, including those which were chambered for other rounds. President Andrews hailed the rifle ''as the rifle of royalty'' while Master Corporal Norton called the rifle a soldier's dream. Although actual specifications have not been released to the public, rumors have been circulating stating that the rifle performs hundreds of times better than its predecessors and features a uniquely modern design. No official word has been given yet on how many rifles Orbath (or Throppe) plan on purchasing.

OOC: The rifle is not my design, it is made by Yanitaria (Yanitarian Arms). For those interested, it is set to be ''released'' shorty, after being peer reviewed on the draftroom. If anyone has any questions regarding the rifle, I invite you to ask Mr. Yanitaria himself (link to storefront in sig) or ask here and I can pass the question on. ICly perhaps people could make comments on how the rifle will affect their arms market or maybe some military brass discussing purchasing the rifle... the sky is the limit.

AY-144 Set To Be Publicly Unveiled Tomorrow!
In a very brief press conference with the head project manager of the AY-144, it was announced that the AY-144 will be released onto the market tomorrow. In both Orbath and Throppe, shipping schedules have been altered in order to accommodate shipments of rifles. Although no official number has been given, it is expected that roughly 10 million rifles will be purchased, in order to equip the entire military and police forces of both Orbath and Throppe. The rifle has been hailed as ''the rifle of kings'' and President Andrews has stated that he himself will be buying one.
