FROM: Isterian Industries

Dear Pablo Pancha,
Isterian Industries has heard for your needs for a replacement weapon, and would like to put forward the ER-2BR Battle Rifle to replace the M1A4 AMR. Please accept our application for the ER-2BR, and visit our storefront at http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=177516.
We hope you take it into consideration.
Yours,
Keriss Mesde
Director of Isterian Industries

Application for a Weapon

What this weapon is trying to Replace: (Please eliminate or clearly mark your option)

M1A4 AMR

Weight: 2.8 kg
Length: 780mm
Barrel Length: 300mm
Caliber: 5.1 x 38 mm Caseless Electronic Ammunition
Penetration: [in standard 10% ballistic gel] 18 inches [In comparison, the m4a1 penetrates at 12.5 inches, the ak47 at 16 inches. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080721195514AAxO8sv]
Cyclic ROF: 1010 r/min
Fire Type: Selective Fire, fully automatic
Ammunition Feed: 40 round electronic magazine
Maximum Velocity: 900m/s
Recommended Range: ~600m
Effective Range: ~800m
Maximum Range: ~1,500m
Attachments: All Picatinny rail compatible attachments
Price:
$3050 for standard
$5000 for built in pump-action grenade launcher

The ER-2BR, unlike most conventional firearms, does not use a traditional bolt gas-operated firing system. Instead, it uses a live wire to activate an electrical current through the caseless electronic ammunition.This causes the charge in the bullet to explode and fire with the bullet. Although this means that batteries (placed in the pistol grip) have to be replaced after every 10,000 rounds, the live wire decreases muzzle flash and noise of the bullets being fired, with most of the sound being generated only in the receiver of the weapon. An indicator on the side of the weapon indicates ammunition count and battery charge

It is adaptive to any combat environment, including both wet and sandy conditions, being able to fire after being immersed in water (and while in water) due to the protected live wire preventing a short circuit. It is extremely light due to the Denrear Plastic construction of the weapon, which is 10x more powerful than other polymer constructions.

The floating barrel allows for greater accuracy, and the ER-2BR is also compatible with Picattiny rail accesories such as ACOG scopes and underbarrel foregrips. However, the ER-2BRG variant has a built in pump action grenade launcher, the GL-2, in the unit that accepts four 30mm grenades or 30mm grenade magazines.

We will take into account your proposal. However, while your choice of ammunition is interesting, it will be a much better applicant for something other than the AMR, which is an Anti-Materiel Rifle. We recommend you look at the requirements before submitting this as an application, as this weapon will be nowhere near our requirements for a long range Anti-Materiel Rifle.

Furthermore we offer a wide range of high-priority defense requirements working just within the confines of international law, so that we may exploit the work, efforts, and people who toll in our factories to produce quality products for our customer base. As per a fair number of our general admittance employees are considered dissidents and or prisoners, there is a vast amount of savings to our customers as per these workers do not need payment, which drives the cost of our products down.

Haruspex International Armaments calls the Europa region home as well and is thus one of the most powerful corporate influences available in that area. We espouse a free trade agreement with all nations whose budgets can afford our weaponry and equipment. Everything from relatively simple small arms systems to that of high tech weapons can be found via our product catalog.

HIA is amongst the leaders in the development of highly innovative and effective solutions for our clients.

Keep in mind that we offer a wide breadth and depth of services and capabilities, and many projects combine the strength of several of the following four categories, bringing the appropriate experts from throughout the company to work on your project. We partner with our clients to ensure they benefit from the full breadth of our capabilities.

We are offering a replacement for the " M1A4 AMR "

Image
HCLRR-03 Anti-Material Rifle, 20mm version

Image
HCLRR-03 Anti-Material Rifle, 14.5mm version

This rifle was designed in the early to mid 1990s by Haruspex arms designer Fenir Neophytou, who also took its part in designing the ACS-01 combat shotgun. Initial development was under the Blackstar Weapons Research name, and later the Weapons and Research division of Haruspex International Armaments, a major Haruspex arms manufacturer, purchased all rights for this design.

In the 1998 Haruspex military legions adopted this weapon and began to purchase it in some numbers. It is also offered for export sales. The HCLRR-03 (Rayjo Lymepan Muhk Nyhka Nevma - Heavy Caliber Long Range Rifle) is a long range anti-material rifle, developed to reach out across wide plains of Haruspex landscape and to deliver substantial firepower in a relatively compact, two men portable package. It is available in two versions, 20mm and 14.5mm, and could be easily converted from one variant to another by simple replacement of the barrel, bolt, magazine and scope, which will take about 1 minute in the field conditions.

These two versions had slightly different applications: 20mm version, built around MG-20 aircraft gun rounds, can deliver high explosive, fragmentation or incendiary shells with good accuracy, so a relatively "soft" targets could be disabled by the blast and / or fragments. When the long range and armor penetration is an issue, the 14.5mm version comes into the play. It is built around the 14.5mm high velocity, armor-piercing cartridge, developed for heavy machine guns on armored cars and in anti-aircraft mounts.

While probably not so accurate as the specially developed .50BMG (12.7x99mm) rifles, mostly due to unavailability of the "match grade" ammunition in the 14.5mm and 20mm, HCLRR-03 offers significantly more terminal effectiveness than any .50BMG rifle / round combination. 20 mm version can be most effective against targets like parked aircrafts and helicopters, command and communications equipment, radar cabins, fuel dumps, unarmored cars. While the 14.5 mm version is more effective against armored personnel carriers or relatively large "soft" targets at extended ranges. Anti-personnel work is by no means a primary task for this huge rifle.

The HCLRR-03 is a manually operated, rotating bolt action rifle. The barrel is locked by the rotating bolt that has 6 lugs. The barrel along with the receiver could recoil inside the chassis frame against combined hydraulic and pneumatic damping system. Large two-chamber muzzle brake also helps to keep recoil at the acceptable level.

HCLRR-03 is fed from the detachable box magazine, that is inserted from the left side and holds 3 rounds. The rifle can be disassembled and carried in two man-portable packs, each weighting about 12 - 15 kg. One pack carries the frame, stock, butt and bipod while the other carries the barrel, sighting equipment and magazines. HCLRR-03 is equipped with a 8X magnification, long eye relief telescopic sight on the quick detachable mount. No open sight are fitted by default. The folding bipod is mounted under the receiver, and a non-folding frame above the receiver serves as a carrying handle and a scope protection bracket.

Characteristics for 20mm
Caliber: 20 x 83.5 mm
Operation: manual bolt action
Barrel length: 1000 mm
Length: 1795 mm
Weight: 26 kg

We at Castle Arms present the ACT-99c Caseless Flechette rifle as a replacement for both the M1A4 AMR AND the RAR-2.

Cyclic ROF: 850 RPM
Fire Type: Semi, 3-round burst, full auto the
Ammunition Feed: 6.5x50mm Sabot-discarding caseless flechette, from a 45 round disposable quad-stack box. Muliple ammo types are availible, including fragmentation, explosive, armor-piercing and incendiary (Although the standard 6.5x50mm flechette is armor penetrating to a degree).
Maximum Velocity: 1200 meters per second
Recommended Range: 50-500 meters (Most common distance for a firefight, according to NATO studies)
Effective Range: 0-800 meters
Maximum Range: 1000 meters
Attachments: Anything compatabile with Mil Std. 1913 "Pictanny" rail
Price: 3,500

Write up: designed to be a universal infantry weapon at the behest of the United States of America in 2045, the ACT-99c is a stellar example of Castle Arms quality and utility. While we realize that you preferred the Gyrojet round, we believe that our 6.5x50mm CAFA is far superior. Consisting of a 6.5 mm tungsten flechette contained within an 8 mm discarding sabot, this round is capable of achieving velocities in excess of 1200 m/s, and can penetrate any personal body armor available on the market today. As a smaller, simpler projectile, it is much cheaper to produce and supply then Gyro ammunition, and is capable of much greater penetration. It is also considerably lighter, being a caseless round rather than a heavy rocket projectile like gyrojet. This means that your troops can carry more ammunition, and thus can remain combat effective for longer. It also allows for greater magazine capacity, within a smaller sized magazine. Furthermore, unlike gyrojet projectiles, it does not require a ventilated barrel, this means that the weapon is overall much more reliable and durable. Also, thanks to the design of the projectile, it is much more accurate and at much longer range, while remaining smaller. and furthermore, it causes more damage to the target, unlike a large gyrojet which must smash its way through armor and cause trauma in that manner, the 6.5 mm tungsten flechette easily penetrates armor, and delivers massive energy transfer to a small surface area, this creates an enormous "bubble" or "cavity within soft targets, rendering it much more deadly, and giving it much more stopping power. Incidentally, this also causes greater damage than a full battle rifle cartridge, while being the same size as an assault rifle cartridge.

The ACT-99c was designed to replace both battle rifles and assault rifles, by providing a smaller cartridge capable of inflicting equal or greater damage to a large rifle cartridge, and through the use of a bullpup layout to achieve maximum barrel length and compactness simultaneously. Because of the long barrel, and the intelligent design of the round, it is capable of achieving one MOA at 800 meters, when equipped with the M956 Universal Electronic Scope. This is more than enough for a designated marksman rifle, or battle rifle. Clever design of the trigger mechanism also facilitates this role. Using a two-stage trigger, pulling the trigger to the first click will fire a single round, while pulling the trigger all the way back will fire a three round burst. Using the selector switch, the weapon can also be switched to fire between three round bursts and fully automatic. Thanks to the inherent properties of caseless ammunition, as well as a recoil reduction system similar to the Russian designed BARS mechanism, this rifle has little felt recoil, allowing even three round bursts to be fired accurately through a scope. this means that it can replace both your battle rifle and training assault rifle. This is beneficial, both because it makes your logistics much more efficient, and because it prevents troops from having to learn an new entire weapon system.

Finally, it is extremely reliable. Using an internal mechanism based on the famous AK series of rifles, and a long stroke piston system, as well as cleanburning caseless ammunition, this rifle is extremely reliable in the field. Unlike Gyrojets, which are notoriously unreliable because of their ventilated barrels, caseless ammunition allows for maximum sealing of the system, the only entrances to the internal mechanism are the magazine port and barrel. this means a minimum of foreign contaminants are capable of entering the system, which is already extremely reliable.

The Kerberus can be folded and carried like a big bag. To fire, its back part have to be unfolded and loaded with ammo. The front door have to be open and the shooter can add an iron sights/ scope to the side he use to shoot (left for right shoulder, right for left shoulder).

Ammo: 90mm Special's Ammo.

Class: Man Portable Anti Tank Gun.

Despite the weight and cumbersome appearance, the Kerberus is recoiless, and the shooter hardly feels the weapon moving while shooting, allowing a teammate to rearm and add new ammo by the back of the gun, without losing sight of the target.

Kerberus can fire any 90mm ammo, including TPA warheads and anti-tank HEAT missiles, but its more powerful with the standart Kerberus 3 stages gyrojet missiles, the HADES ammo.

HADES ammo is made of three gyrojet rockets fit together in a artillery case. It fires from explosion inside the Kerberus, and when the internal system detects the rocket reached terminal velocity, it activates the internal fuel system. When the first stage fuel is out, it detaches and a second fuel system engage. The third and last stage is a warhead, usually filled with flechette (anti-infantry) or solid tungsten (anti-armor). It also can be exchanged for TPA incendiary warhaeads or even small nuclear capsules (Dirt bomb).

The HADES ammo, used with the Kerberus, can reach up to 10 km (or even more if shot in angle), but it cannot correct its course in the air, so the range is restricted to sight and direct aim, or artillery fire by coordinates and angle. It can fire 4 HADES rounds at once or one per second

Unit Price: 1,750 Per Unit
Hades Ammo Case: 750 UDS Per unit (With purchase of 100,000 USD or more)

While this weapon in no way matches the parameters that we have set, and therefore cannot be accepted into the current program. We are very much interested in this weapon you have put forth so we will keep Cyber Corp in mind in upcoming programs.

After having tested all applicants we have made our decisions. We have decided to have two foreign weapons introduced into our military. We have decided on set in stone weapons contracts for the following replacement programs:
    XM2 AMR Program to go to Haruspex International Armaments for HCLRR-3 Anti-Materiel Rifle
    XM2 Program to go to Arsenal Deimos for the ASP .45 Service Pistol

To Haruspex International Armaments,

We request domestic production rights for the HCLRR-3 as the M2 AMR with the agreed upon modifications (i.e. the reinforcement against Florine and Cesium/Francium). If this cannot be allowed, we would like to create an armaments contract with your company for ten thousand (10,000) rifles over the course of three (3) years.The monetary compensation will be wired to you upon confirmation of this order. If you do not reply within forty eight (48) hours we will assume that any dealings are off.


To Arsenal Deimos,

We request domestic production rights for the ASP .45 as the M2 Pistol. If this cannot be allowed. We would like to create an armaments contract with your company for five million (5,000,000) pistols over the course of one (1) year. The monetary compensation will be wired to you upon confirmation of this order. If you do not reply within forty eight (48) hours we will assume that any dealings are off.


Additionally, we are prepared to accept the Castle Arms entry for the XAR-3 program under the following conditions:
    We request domestic production rights.
    We also request allowance to modify the weapon to fire 5.56x45mm cartridges
If neither of these are the case than than this weapon will simply too expensive for our needs, and we will opt for the domestic application instead. As for the XM3 HMG program no foreign applications were made and the domestic application shall be accepted without challenge.

Thank you for your time and applications,
Pablo Pancha-- War Minister
