oh well, the only thhing I truly have is Autoguns(high powered M16's) a Salamander(support Vehicle) and a Chimera(with or without weapons) and the Leman Russ could be real you know(just saying) all you' need to do is slap a couple of cannon on the side of a MBT.


and you never said anything about no Tanks, that Vindicare is the only Anti-Matter Sniper Rifles my military has got, we rarely use bullets anymore, closest we have are Bolters.


and I'm not trying to start an arguement here, so I'll back off with the Tanks.

We are very happy with the Nakíl MBT currently in service.

Sequoia Defence Systems official sales solicitation

Sir,

Sequoia Defence Systems (SDS) wishes to bid for contracts to modernise and recapitalise the equipment capabilities of the Zinaire armed forces. As such, Redwood Defence Consulting (RDC), a wholly owned subsidairy of SDS, has responded to the Zinarian Military Authority's tender seeking a defence consultant. (Details posted: here. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=559654))

We feel that appointment of RDC to this role will enable SDS to deliver fully integrated solutions on a sole source firm-fixed price contract basis at lower procurement and life-cycle costs compared to multiple-sourcing contracts on a peacemeal basis and then integrating afterwards.

This would enable the Zinarian government to not only achieve substantial cost savings, but also qualify for Foreign Military Assistance grants from the Etoile Arcture government to defer part of the acqusition costs of introducing new technology into its armed forces.

Our company is eager to work with the Zinairian government on such an endeavour, and looks forward to a positive response to our offer.

Official Falkasian Transmission
Upon hearing of your country's interest in foregin weapons contracts to replace your own, the People's Republic of Falkasia would like to offer our M-2 Communications Satellite for your review.

Crookfur Arms: Thank you for your numerous submissions. We will review them shortly and inform you if we wish to procure test units.

Sequoia Defence Systems: Thank you for your (extremely buzzwordy) letter. We will consider the proposal lodged by your subsidiary.

Falkasia: Thank you, but at this time we are not refitting our orbital systems as thinking about them gives Sir Montelimar a headache.

Generally, Solyhniya is against arms-dealing, and all arms companies are state-owned. However, we know that Zinaire is a respectable nation with good intentions, so we can offer to sell you a maximum of three Ivano IN-5 Aerodynes. These are heavy hauling craft, larger than sky cranes, but they work with a similar technology to all helicopters. They are unarmed, with a maximum capacity of ninety personnel plus crew, or two hundred tons in terms of cargo.

We will be ready to discuss a price, and schematics, along with other details, only after we know if you are interested.

All we have for sale is the

MkIII Predator Tank (http://http://www.sabredog.org/images/finished/wh40k-predator-base04.jpg) for $17 million
Mk III Lasgun (http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/5/5d/Lasgun.jpg) $1K per rifle

Message from Moralite industries:
Although we don't have any weapons that fit what you are activly looking for, we do have a pistol that, in our opinion, trumps any other on the market:

GDSA-V3
Range(accurate to): 90 yards
Caliber: .357
Modes: Single shot (Semi-automatic 40 RPM) Two-shot bursts (65 RPM)
Length: 9.12 inches
Magazine capacity: 20 rounds
Weight (With magazine): 2.74 pounds
Price: $300 USD
Versions: GDSA-V2 (Normal) COSA-V1 (Covert ops)

http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk294/Tombombadil9/Complete.gif

Origin:
The GDSA (General Defense Side Arm) started as a pistol, and has remained so. First introduced in 1930, the efficient, powerful model did not change until 1990. The GDSA-V1 was created by Alexander Genuus, who committed suicide before he could introduce the second model, unfinished designs of which were found in his room. It has since been bought out by Moralite industries. Under MI, the new and improved GDSA-V3 has been put on production, and many Moralites have taken up the offer of a discount on the newer models by turning in their old ones. The GDSA-V3 has added a burst option and increased range.

Summary:
A rather accurate pistol, with a small steel knife built in near the handle, designed to not interfere with the users grip. Comes in dark black and camoflauge green.

Accessory:

HLS: A small laser to provide more accuracy then the iron sight. Price: $20 USD

Use in CM:
Civilian ownership: 770 million
Moralites against crime: 44.1% of civilian ownership (340 million)
Smaller gun ownership groups: 25.9% of civilian ownership (200 million)
Police: 18.2% of civilian ownership(140 million)
Other: 22.8% of civilian ownership (175.5 million)

We hope you decide to do business with us.

I was hoping the answer was going to be that the optional blade is inserted through the top of a disassembled magazine, then reassembled for loading. When empty the magazine would be removed and used as a knife handle while the gun becomes a very expensive (and realtively fragile) set of brass-knuckles. See Also: "Pistol Whipping"

The blade would, hopefully, be just a last-resort weapon.
And meleing with a gun would pretty much screw up your chances of successful ranged combat for awhile. (Hence why it is generally a good idea to keep your combat-knife/flashlight/nightstick in one hand, and the handgun in the other)

But since it's retractable, it likely would be sliding alongside the magazine in the handle, though I see nothing to retract/extend the blade, nor is that issue addressed.

OOC: Bump (doesn't anyone have A/IFVs for sale?)

OOC: Of course! Was going to post it along with my AMR submission once it was finished, but if you insist... ;)

Mil NΣTJoint-venture
ΞXPΦRTS©?


Through the MilNet JVE, I offer you three different vehicles adapted for the role of transporting troops, in the hopes that they could attend to your needs, with a brief description for your convenience of each of them. Also, due to our specific methodology on the design of the suspension and powertrain of our armored fighting vehicles, all of the mentioned vehicles are featured by the fact they can be fielded with either tracks or wheels, rather than being exclusive to one of them, in a process that requires only a properly equipped workshop, and equally, all of them come with the FSoft Intelliview©? technology, which consists into an optical data processing system which provides the feed of all-around cameras in each of these vehicles to all its crew through high-definition monitors, removing the need of the commander getting out of the hatch. Also, with this message shall be provided annexes with further technical details. Also, I have to inform that our design philosophies do not match those of any of the vehicles mentioned that you need to be replaced, although in most cases, it implies that ours actually provide more than only what the mentioned vehicles were able to

Although it does not relate to the Bradley in its concept, the Sucuri Infantry Fighting Vehicle (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13768682&postcount=20) is superior to it in many ways, being developed as part of an upgrade program for a vehicle which was designed with one primary goal: to provide a never seen before level of mechanization in an cost-efficient package. Packing enough firepower to tear apart most IFVs with its 60mm electrothermal-ignited (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrothermal-chemical_technology) autocannon, it is also heavily armored with low spread explosive reactive armor, which ensures safety to close by infantry forces, while its GEIFM-2 indirect fire missile launcher can bring wreckage to the vulnerable roof of hostile tanks, even though it is essentially a defensive weapon. Nonetheless, when you can carry an entire squad in a single, heavily defended vehicle, much change. Finally, despite its size it packs several features which contribute to reduce its signature.

Now, the M135 Librecielo (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13768704&postcount=21), also known as the "MacGavin" is basically a heavily modular multimission effects vehicle, which is featured by the Confederacy version of the ADATS (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/adats.htm). Its basic version was not designed for troop transport, although it packs space for two soldiers. However, the Librecielo IFV can carry up to 6 troopers, and is an interesting choice for an IFV, for due to its "multirole" nature, it can serve as a self-propelled rocket artillery, as a tank destroyer and as a short range self-propelled anti-air combined system like that of the Russian Tunguska while transporting troops through the front lines, and also packs one of the most advanced active protection systems around. It could serve well as a replacement for your wheeled vehicles, and also is airborne without crew, thanks to rocket-assisted paradropping it was successfully tested with,while amphibious capability can be added with proper add-ons.

And at last, the VBM-47 Capivara Modular Armored Car (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13768770&postcount=23) could safely serve as a substitute to your Fennek, being an agile and low profile vehicle, while thanks to its modularity, supporting several different platforms, including even as a lightweight armored personell carrier, as a lite version of the Librecielo ADATS among other options.

I hope that such potential venues of procurement can attend to the necessities of your military forces. Thank you for your attention.

To: Sir Logan Montelimar, Sr. (Ret. General), Head of Procurement, Armed Forces of Zinaire

Dear Sir,

We recently heard of your contract bid, in which your military also states the need for a Infantry Mobility Vehicle, High Mobility Vehicle, and various trucks. Now, the current offerings of the VLT Automotive Group allow us to bid on these contracts with two vehicles: the Monteluci M6 Tipo B, Monteluci M6 Tipo A (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13005158&postcount=1) and VLT M5 (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12481560&postcount=1) respectively. These vehicles are of excellent quality and have been used to full satisfaction by several military forces around the world.

And, since the factories of VLT and Monteluci in Moiano (Automobili Monteluci Venezia S.p.A.) and Zinzendorf (Müller-VLT Militärwerke Gmbh) are currently operating at full capacity to produce surplus military vehicles for emergency replacement in Van Luxemburger military exercises, we can deliver a first shipment of new vehicles almost immediately. The large orders of good friends always come first.

Next to this, we will provide training with the vehicles for the troops that will operate them, free of charge. This can take place either in Van Luxemburg (The VLT Military Test Range near Nei Hivez), or at a location of your choice in Zinaire.

Hans Schmidt,

Company Statement

Dear sir,

We at CotWep Export Ltd. would like to recommend the SDA-5 Self-Propelled Howitzer (155 mm calibre) (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=3151&hl=) for your Self-Propelled Howitzer contract. We are perfectly capable of delivering whichever quantity of weaponry you require, for a reasonable cost. The SDA-5 can attack targets to ranges of up to 40 kilometers, which is increased to ~80+ with the use of rocket-assisted rounds. Crewed by five men, powered by a 950 hp diesel engine and with an armament of one 155 mm ETC cannon with 48 shells stowed and a MGM2V 15.7mm heavy machine gun for self-defense, as well as state-of-the-art electronics, the SDA-5 is the vehicle you'll want to replace the Paladins and Bravehearts currently in service with the Armed Forces of Zinaire.

Additionally, we can offer you for the role of Heavy Divisional/Corps Tubed Artillery the SDAT-4 Self-Propelled Howitzer (203 mm calibre) (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=2868). Much like the SDA-5, the SDAT-4 is a heavy artillery piece that can deliver a hefty punch onto priority targets and provide effective fire support to ranges of up to 45+ kilometers (80 kilometers with rocket-assisted rounds).

We await your response to this offer with hope and anticipation for a swift and positive response.


Sincerely,
Thor Bragessønn
Vice Director for Sales
