The Republic of Tubaui, which has recently been the subject of an economic boom, is in need of modernizing its infantry forces. A National Assault Rifle and a National Side-Arm has been selected for The Tubaui'n Armed forces, yet there is many more products that the republic has not yet decided on.

We Require the designs for the following:




Semi-Automatic/bolt action sniper rifle - decided = M55 Sniper Rifle System and M24 Sniper Rifle System

Semi-Automatic/pump action shotgun

Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher - decided = ATGM-11 Kestrel

Automatic Heavy machine gun - decided = Asgarn 12.7x99mm Heavy Machine Gun

Automatic sub-machine gun

Squad Automatic weapon - decided = R-25L light machine gun

fireteam carrying 4x4 vehicle




The Republic of Tubaui will judge each offer accordingly, and will ultimately decide on which designs they will purchase.

OOC: Do you mind if I ask what you have selected as your main rifle and pistol? Just so i can make sure i'm offering things best suited to you.

Jennings & Rall currently manufactures two sniper rifle systems, and as our warehouses currently are idle due to decreased arms sales, our corporation would be willing to sell a maxium of three-thousand units.

M55 Sniper Rifle System

[ Image ] (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/halofanon/images/c/c2/M55_Sniper_Rifle_System.jpg)

The M55 is a long range rifle that employs the use of the standard 12.7x99 millimeter round. A bolt action weapon with a seven round magazine, the M55 has an effective range of 2750 meters with the use of a supplied, Davenport Electronics manufactured, targeting computer. These units are available at a cost of 5170 J&R credits.

M24 Sniper Rifle System

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/halofanon/images/1/1c/Zeller_H_Advanced_Sniper_Rifle_by_T.png

The M24 rifle is designed for use as a dedicated sniper system, or a designated marksman rifle role. The semi-automatic weapon pulls its ammunition from a fourteen round magazine, and is capable of reaching an effective range of 1200 meters. An intergrated silencer makes the rifle an ideal weapon for use by special operations forces. The unit costs 3210 J&R credits.

For the heavy machine gun role we would like to present our Asgarn .50 BMG heavy machine gun;

Asgarn 12.7x99mm Heavy Machine Gun

PRODUCTION VERSION : http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/3856/50bmgasganrha1.png

The Asgarn .50 BMG heavy machine gun is belt-fed, air-cooled machine weapon capable of semi-automatic and automatic fire. The Asgarn fires from a closed bolt at all times, and uses a short-recoil operated action with a vertically sliding locking block, which rises up to lock the bolt to the barrel extension, and drops down on recoil to unlock the bolt from the barrel. It also has a bolt accelerator, made in the form of a lever located at the bottom of the receiver. Upon recoil, once the barrel is unlocked from the bolt, it strikes the accelerator, so the kinetic energy of the recoiling barrel is quickly transmitted to the bolt, improving the reliability of the weapon.
It features a semi-direct gas-impingement system which by turning the gas plug from 1 to 6 increases and decreases the rate of fire of the machine gun by taking exiting gas from the barrel while firing and chanelling it to the bolt through reinforced gas tube,the gas plug system is also suitable (as seen on FN FAL´s) to increase reliability in extremely cold weather.

Barrels are screwed into the barrel extension and are not quick-detachable on standard Asgarn weapons; furthermore, once the barrel is installed in the weapon, the headspace must be adjusted prior to firing, or the weapon may fail to fire or produce a serious jam.The rear part of the barrel is enclosed in a short, tubular, barrel jacket with cooling slots,while the front part is fluted. The back of the receiver houses a heavily reinforced bolt buffer, and a special system of two additional buffers are used to soften the movement of the heavy barrel. On infantry guns, the cocking handle is installed on the right side of the weapon, but slots are made on both sides of the receiver for tank installations which may require a left-side cocking handle.

Asgarn machine guns use a disintegrating linked steel belt, with the feed switchable from one side to the other through the re-installation of certain parts in the feed unit. The belt feed is of the two stage type – every cartridge is first withdrawn from the belt toward the rear by the pivoting extractor lever, attached to the bolt. Once the cartridge is clear of the belt, it is lowered into a T-slot cut into the bolt face, and pushed forward into the barrel. Spent cartridge cases are forced down the T-slot and out of the weapon through an opening at the bottom of the receiver by the following cartridges, or by the pivoting belt extractor lever (for the last cartridge case). A rotary switch is used to select the track for left or right side feed.

Since the gun fires from a closed bolt, it has a separate firing pin, powered by its own spring, and hosted inside the bolt along with the sear and cocking lever. Upon the recoil stroke of the bolt, the cocking lever pulls the firing pin back until it is engaged by the sear. Once the bolt is fully in battery (locked closed), a pull on the trigger raises the trigger bar so it acts on the sear and releases the firing pin. The standard firing controls consist of a push-type thumb trigger and sear release buttons located between the dual spade grips. Alternatively, an electric solenoid trigger can be installed for mounted vehicle applications.

The Asgarn has an unusual method of providing semi-automatic fire – it has a bolt latch, which locks the bolt to the bolt buffer in the open position after each shot. Therefore, if gun is fired in semi-automatic mode (single shots), for each shot the operator must first release the bolt forward by pressing the bolt latch release, located next to the thumb trigger (as the gun fires from a closed bolt). After the bolt is released and the gun is loaded, the operator may push the trigger to fire a single bullet. If the automatic mode is desired, the bolt latch must be turned off and locked by turning its lock to the left. In this position it will not engage the bolt and the gun will fire continuously as long as the trigger is pressed. Asgarn heavy machine guns feature, among other items, an additional manual safety located next to the trigger.

Standard sights consist of a Hensoldt Optical Sight with 7.5x augmentation. Optionally,folding blade front and frame-type rear sights can be mounted. In this case the rear sight is mounted on the receiver, the front sight is located at the front of the receiver and protected by an arc-shaped sight protector. Additionally, various types of other telescopic and night sights can be installed using appropriate mountings.

Type-147|U RPK

http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/2623/macrpkme8.png

The RPK is a gas operated, magazine fed, air cooled, selective fire weapon.The basic action,with a long-stroke gas piston located above the reinforced barrel and a rotating bolt, is similar to that of the Kalashnikov assault rifle.

The trigger unit and safety is also the same, therefore the RPK fires from a closed bolt in both semi-automatic and automatic modes.The barrel can be replaced in the field with a special tool included in the machine gun´s tool kit.RPK machine guns are fitted with integral folding bipods made from steel stampings.

The shoulder stock is adjustable in height and length.

M.A.C Defense SF-9/P

http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/739/pdwoi7.png

The SF-9/P is a new PDW development of M.A.C Defense.

The SF-9/P PDW follows the current trend for modularity of design, with intent of providing a compact personal defense weapon of about pistol size but of greater effectiveness for military personnel which is normally not issued with rifle of any kind.It has already been adopted by the Anghele Army,Navy,Air Force and Law Enforcement,and is in use with some Special Forces units abroad.

The SF-9/P is delayed blowback operated weapon that fires in single shots 2 or 3 rounds bursts and in fully automatic mode. It is made mostly from rust and heat resistant metal alloy and impact resistant polymers,with metal alloy upper receiver and a polymer lower receiver. Barrel and bolt can be replaced to change the caliber from standard Armor Piercing 9x19 +P+ to .40 S&W and .357 SIG Armor Piercing Rounds.The change will also require use of different magazines, which, in turn, may require replacement of the grip. The removable grip and the magazine body are made from polymer for easy check of remaining ammunition supply.

The SF-9/P features ambidextrous controls, including safety, fire mode selector, bolt catch release and magazine release. It is fitted with a telescopic buttstock. Sights are installed using integral Picatinny rail on the top of receiver, with standard being either open sights or red dot. Additional Picatinny rail is provided at the bottom of the gun housing, in front of the trigger guard.

Each unit comes with two magazines and cleaning kit.

PPN-9 [Pistolet-Pulemet-Niktovski]

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/6999/smg.th.png (http://img27.imageshack.us/my.php?image=smg.png)

The Niktovski sub machinegun was sometime in the 1990's as a cheap way to arm a large number of troops [or guerrillas] in a relative short amount of time. While it was never formally accepted by the Chernobyl-Pripyat Red Army, it's often used by tank crews and special forces for it's high rate of fire and good 'stopping power'.

The PPN-9 is mainly manufactured through stamped steel and spot welding, and uses a crude but effective barrel shroud similar to that of the WWII PPSh-41. It's known that the only precision parts in the gun are the barrel and smaller parts in the action. Early production models[and some used by special forces] accepted the magazine through the side, similar to Sten guns, but later were made to load like a "modern" sub machine gun. The interior of the hinged receiver and barrel are chromed to increase it's resistance of fouling and make the cleaning of the weapon easier.

The PPN-9 is chambered for the 9x19 Parabellum/Luger cartridge, optimized for both 9mm PBP and 9mm 7N31 armor piercing ammunition, which are rated beyond +P+. By doing this, it is usable with all current 9mm civil and military rounds. Additionally, there is a 10mm Auto and 7.62TT variant of the gun.

Because the rifle only cost about 200 Universal Standard Dollars a piece to manufacture, with an order greater then 250,000 production rights are granted at no extra charge.

Length: 850 mm stock extended, 630mm closed
Barrel length: 260 mm
Rate of fire: 900 rounds per minute
Magazine capacity: 32 rounds
