OOC NOTE:
Rights to use RL tech is always open to all players. All player designed tech in this thread is being sold with approval from the original designer, myself included.
This thread is purely for RP purposes, and to create a fun history of how state and non-state actors in Greater Dienstad, and beyond, may have obtained access to firearms and technology without access to a firearms industry. This is not meant to be a storefront, or to become a vendor. This is an RP where characters, of possibility shady backgrounds, can acquire weapons cheaply. Perhaps to help supply wars and struggles around the world, or to lead a small coup, or to simply arm a PMC start up.
Players can have characters look around, explore the grounds, or simply visit the procurement office with a summary of everything they want from the catalogue.

AM-07 Product Description
If there was one thing the nine nations of the People's Unified Federation shared, it was their mutual desire to maintain a well armed military and populus. Huge earthen bunkers and large airfields overflowed with weapons in every corner of the Federation, and after every war or technological innovation, new weapons were brought into the arsenal. As the warehouses overflowed after with every upgrade, the Federation realized it needed to clear out older stock to make room for more. Perhaps they could even make a small profit while doing so.
The Desert Fortress
Deserts of northern Moxhuactl
People's Unified Federation
Not a cloud was in the sky as the bright desert sun beat down the sands of the base. Although technically the cool season was beginning, the safest places was inside the massive temporary structures the Federation had built for visiting clientele. AC units were on full blast to beat back the desert heat as Military police patrolled the buildings. Soldiers stood by crates, or even piles of opened weapons, demonstrating how each one operated while giving a short presentation about the weapon in hand. These weapons were not in the quantity to sell, but enough to show prospective buyers what to expect and to offer a “hands on” learning experience. While many of these weapons would be sold by the metric ton or in batches of 100, the real sales would be the blind auctions of the supply bunkers on site and scattered throughout the Federation. All of their contents sold for a meager price to whomever purchased the lot number. Most had ledgers that showed what might be located behind the steel doors, but most of those ledgers were over a decade old, and who knows what might have been haphazardly added, or removed, in that time.
Outside of the shelters, it was clear this was only a small part of the major military base, with barracks, supply bunkers, and a few runways all located nearby. Normally, this part of the base was used to house foreign armies training in the harsh desert climates. That meant security gates to the outside world were also nearby, allowing visitors to fly in from civilian airports and drive right into the surplus sale. Visitors would see the runways were full of various older fighter jets, with even a few propeller planes and long range bombers. The desert was flooded with armored and unarmored vehicles, trucks, helicopters and more for sale. Armed soldiers were ready to drive potential clients out there to give a close up view of what they could be buying. A few supply bunkers were opened and guarded to give guests a chance to see what they might get from the blind supply bunker auction. Although not listed on the brochure, many bunkers had mortars, ammunition, and even anti-aircraft/ anti-tank missiles inside. The only stipulation was that any weapon with a range of over 100 kilometers would be repossessed by the Federation for sale at a later date, with compensation for the finder, of course.
Commanding all this, was the central building, a permanent office structure on the grounds used by officers and COs during their visits to plan and coordinate training events. For this event, this stout office building was now the Procurement Office. The armed escorts taking clients into the desert could mark vehicles as sold or not depending on client wishes, but it was this office where they had to take back their list of lot numbers and item locations to purchase, before the logistic trucks would pick them. Bulk orders could also be made by larger clients, who simply needed a few hundred of an item and cared not to inspect each one individually, at least not by themselves. Bulk orders were made with a promise to replace units that failed inspection, but the failed unit could be kept for replacement parts. As long as it was out of the Federation. Which is why it was also here that the office met with clients to plan how to ship the goods out of the Federation. Once the items left Federal waters or airspace, they were no longer the concern of the Federation. A few private logistic companies were on hand offering bunk discounts to larger orders, but many of the bulk orders would already have their own logistic people on call for this.
In the end, the Mokans were unleashing a flood of cheap weapons onto the open markets of Greater Dienstad, and no one knew what the impact of this wave of weapons might have.
