OOC- and the superior yet less popular SCR. You didn't post my pics Falk/Daiwiz. They where the best bit.

OOC: No, not necessarily superior. Your's just follows a different base design method, and is less powerful. More like a close-quarters assault weapon. I'll try and get those picutres up by the way.

ooc: May I suggest my storefront, located in the link of my signature.

May I propose that you use Black Star International (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=564590)?

OOC: A word of advice. You can definiately be assured of the quality if it's been made by Volzgrad, as well as Free United States.

(OOC: updated first post with needs.)

The Commonwealth can serve many of those needs. For transport, there is the venerable CV-30 Vogel (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13857787&postcount=1) which Falkasia and many others can attest to. We also offer the B-92 Shrike (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13993074&postcount=34) bomber and F-43 Sleipnir (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13993077&postcount=35) fighter-interceptor.

To the Commonwealth,

These all seem viable, however we have some concerns with the fighter, are we positive that the cockpit is large enough for our larger than average pilots? Also, will the ejection seat be able to tolerate the increased weight? Also, can the seats in the transport plane be enlarged for our larger troops? Same for the bomber, we may also need larger safety belts, and entryways.

OOC: The AK-113 can fill the role of your Infantry Rifle easily. Assuming if we made the barrel out of aluminium, it could be less than 9 pounds.

There is certainly room for different body types, but how much larger are we talking about? Note that persons not meeting physical flight requirements will not be able to endure the high-g turns and maneuvers associated with fighter combat.

Well, no more than 335 lbs, and a waist no larger than 50 inches. We are also well aware of the limitations of our pilots and soldiers.

OOC: Would my rifle work if it was lightened slightly, or should I design a new one?

You have stated that you need a service rifle weighing less than 9 lbs, fully loaded and a machine gun weighing less than 15 lbs. We offer the Nemesis Assault rifle series as an answer to both needs.

The AR-20, Mod 1 is the newest variant of the AR-20 Nemesis. It is currently in front line service with The Phoenix Milita's marines and other nations' armed forces. There are four variants. The carbine, the service rifle, the light machine gun/squad automatic weapon and the sniper/designated marksman's rifle. All variants use the same type of controls and share many parts with each other making training, maintenance and logistics easier. They also come in several competitive modern intermediate assault rifle calibers for versatility.

The original AR-20 Nemesis (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=523631) was created by Phoenix Dynamix Labs in April 2007. The AR-20's creators looked at Eugene Stoner's original designs, Colt's modifications and improvements, as well as many AR-15 derived weapons such as the Barret M468, the Phoenix Dynamix AR-56, the H&K 416, ZM's LR300 and the Shrike 5.56. They also looked extensively at the combat history of these weapons and finally released an optimized weapons system and was finally deemed ready to compete on the NS battlefield. Four main variants were created with a variety of upper/lower combinations and accessories options. While the AR-20 proved to be extremely rugged compared to previous AR-15 type weapons, with equal or greater durability to the 416 in most tests, and offering ambidextrous configuration options, there was still, astonishingly, found to be room for improvement. Under the auspices of The Phoenix Military, Phoenix Dynamix's Firearms Division created the AR-20 Mod 1 in March of 2008. The mod 1 features several improvements which came directly from user feedback. The most dramatic and noticeable change is perhaps the lengthened top rail which now runs along the entire length of the upper. Another major change is the improved retractable buttstock which is based upon aftermarket add-ons that were being purchased with increasing regularity by TPM infantrymen. The integral flip up iron sights have also been improved as has the sight mounting system, allowing for use of backup iron sights while optics are still attached. Bayonet lugs have been improved in order to allow for a full size bayonet to be easily attached even with the 10.5 inch barrel. The improvements have been applied to the entire AR-20 line.
The AR-20A1, Mod 1 is available with a 10.5, 14.5 or 16 inch barrel and in either a flat black or a coyote brown finish.

Well, no more than 335 lbs, and a waist no larger than 50 inches. We are also well aware of the limitations of our pilots and soldiers.

The Commonwealth regrettably informs you that your pilots do not meet the *physical requirements necessary for operating a fighter plane. The Vogel may be modified, but the physical characteristics would call for drastic design changes in the Sleipnir.

*note: the maximum allowable weight is 202 lbs. if the pilot is 6 ft. tall.

To: General Jon Brower Minnoch, Kelnoriemian Weapons Procurement
From: Maximus Seville, CEO Phoenix Dynamix
We have designed an aircraft that should meet or exceed your requirement for an aircraft suited for large pilots. Those who weigh up to 350lbs and have a up to a 48 inch waist will have no trouble at all with the all new:
F-66 Rhino
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/grunt74/NS1/fatplane.png
The F-66 Rhino was designed specifically for the nation of Kelnoriem. While the F-66 has several similarities to the F-6 Freedom Fighter, including a simmilar engine, the F-66 airframe is certainly one of a kind. With a specially designed cockpit for larger individuals, the F-66 Rhino has a unique appearance, which the bulbous canopy is largely responsible for. The large canopy opening facilitates easy entry and egress by heavier and wider individuals while increasing roominess of the cockpit during operations. The ejection seat is an ACES7 model with a seat that is 2/5ths wider and improved lumbar support. The seat is fully adjustable for comfort on long missions. The rest of the aircraft is on par with most modern fighters and interceptors. All standard radar and targeting systems are included.
