Portugal 2874 wrote:Simply just post what are the oldest weapons your army is using.
Tanks, choppers, mechs, fighters, Rifles, pistols, grenade launchers, everything!

Bravia, after the Battle of Vilas-Boas, had suffered a severe loss of manpower and military surplus equipment, so, they had to go back in time, and find some weapons that could be simple and cheap to be built and reliable to all users.

Being a "close call FT" nation, some weapons here are very old, my timeline is the year 2874:

Rifles:
Magpul Masada (copy), designed 2008, produced since 2776 till 2810


Bravia RK30, designed in 2010, produced since 2775 till 2870


Pistols:

Bravia P63 (copy of a Taurus PT945 pistol, with 15 round mag), designed in 2009, produced since 2775 till 2840.


Tanks:

Bravia T28-29 Tambor (Drum), (direct copy of a General Dynamics M522 MBT), designed in 2030, produced since 2775 till 2820



Bravia TS23 Expedição (Expedition),(direct copy of an Expeditionary Tank), designed in 1980, prodiced since 2776 till
2870.

Probably the M1911, in its current form as the MEU(SOC) Pistol. After that it's essentially ceremonial swords.

The wolf class of tanks, Have been in service for over sixty years. Built cheap, and easy to manufacturer we had over a hundred thousand at one point. But the five years war, saw the destruction of all one hundred thousand in the first three months. But after some debate it was decided since only two hundred Fulmans lost their lives in the tanks, it was to be continued.
I am Fulma hear me roar! Okay make fun of me, I am not that much of a big shot.
Fulma the ninja would definitely be victorious, though.

It's not an inside joke but I just realized how it could be one you bastard.

The M1897 Trench Gun/Shotgun. We can't bring ourselves to replace it because well. "If it ain't broke don't fix it" and it still gets the job done with the same brutality and rate of fire of any other pump shotgun; it just has two fewer shells.

The Lee-Enfield rifle is used as a ceremonial arm by the Guards Brigade and during military parades. It remains in active service with the police.

Image

The Luger P08 is the standard sidearm of the military and the police, although officers frequently buy more modern pistols privately.

Our small arms is mostly based on the British Army C.2011,

Primary weapon - SA80 A2 Lee Enfield
Secondary weapon/ Special Forces - Glock 17
Standard Sniper - L115A3 Long Range rifle

However occasionally the original World War II era Lee Enfield is used for shooting contests or ceremonial duties. Also our Special Forces hold a stock of almost all small arms produced from the last 70 years in order to quickly infiltrate areas or groups.

Our Battle Tank Force mostly consists of the newest versions of well known tanks such as the Challenger V.

The Royal Navy has a decommission time of 30/45 years from brand new and currently has placed orders for two new aircraft carriers HMS Stag and HMS Caladonia. It's oldest vessel currently in service is HMS Escort which is a 38 year old frigate.
