Brotherhood of Steel: R2 Advanced Infantry Armament System

[Zinaire]

To: Brotherhood of Steel

We are intrigued by your R2 armament complex and we would like to test it against the AVIR.III rifles and other firearms currently in service with our troops. Zinaire has always invested substantially in each soldier and it appears that the R2 is very compatible with this paradigm.

Please send, for testing purposes, the following:

10x R2 Service Rifle (w/ deployment package)
8x R2C Tactical Carbine (w/ deployment package and 500mm barrel)
4x R2GM General Purpose Machine Gun
2x R2S Sniper Rifle (w/ deployment package and 800mm barrel)
2x R2S Sniper Rifle (w/ deployment package and 1000mm barrel)

A total of $1,841,800 will be wired upon confirmation of this order.

Minister of Defense,
The Republic of Zinaire

Good day to you, dear Sir Henry Norton.

We have received your request, and it's been a pleasure to fulfill it. Ten R2 Service Rifles, eight R2C Tactical Carbines, four R2GM General Purpose Machine Guns, and four R2S Sniper Rifles, two with 800mm and two with 1000mm barrel, all with full deployment packages.
An ALC transport aircraft with the armament ordered is enroute to your nation at the moment.


On my account, I can tell the following concerning the comparison between R2 and AVIR Mod.III. Both R2 and AVIR in its last modification are reliable, convenient and practical personal weapons.
The main difference comes with regards to firepower. The 6.7x35mm rounds used by the AVIR are typical intermediate rounds, completely defeated by modern body armor. With decent, but still assault-rifle-grade accuracy of the weapon itself, and relatively rapid loss of velocity by the rounds, AVIR is easily protected against with most armor kits on the market, except at very close ranges.

R2, in contrast, is able to deliver on-demand firepower significantly in excess of regular rifles. For a comparison, AVIR can only produce about 2.4 kJ of muzzle energy, while R2 rounds start at 2.6 kJ and proceed all the way to 19.7 kJ with VLD rounds for long-range sniping and anti-materiel use. Such rounds can defeat not just any rifles, but even medium APC protection. Combined with every rifle being built with match-grade accuracy, they ensure the weapon's effectiveness at any range within the horizon, against any target short of heavy armored vehicles.

With sincere regards,
Brother Stanwood.

Re: R2 Advanced Infantry Armament Complex

We are sorry to announce that at this time, we do not think the R2 system is suitable for the Zinairian Armed Forces. We simply do not think that the cost of replacing nearly all our small arms is justified.

[L3 Communications]

To the Brotherhood of Steel,

As a corporation that's always wanting to keep it's private contractors on the very cutting edge of technology, L3 Communications wishes to purchase the follow weapons to equip our forces: seven-hundred fifty thousand (750,000) R2 Service Rifles, two-hundred thousand (200,000) R2GM General Purpose Machine Guns and fifty thousand (50,000) R2S Sniper Rifles.

All weapons are to be purchased in the "Deployment" package, and the sniper rifles are to be the 1,000mm model.

We're also interested in the CLAP-series, as it appears to be an effective replacement for our current M9 sidearm. So, we would like to purchase one million (1,000,000) CLAP-825A automatic pistols. We'd also like to inquire about possible domestic production rights (DPR) for the R2 series' rounds, as we'd prefer to manufacture them ourselves. If you can, we'd like a quote on the DPRs as soon as possible, please.

The total cost for all of these weapons, minus the DPR, has been calculated to be roughly around 81.755 million Universal Standard Dollars. Upon confirmation of this order, we'll be sure to send the money via electronic transmission. If possible, we'll also include the cost of the DPR at the quoted price.

Thank you.

Signed,

[Capsule Corporation]

From: Brotherhood of Steel
To: Alice Meyers, L3 Communications

Greetings.

Your order has been received and approved. Production rights have also been approved and will be released to you with the rest of your order.

As a thank you for your rather large order, we would like to round your total down to 75 billion.

Yours faithfully,
Knight Delmar.

[Tyrrin]

To the Brotherhood of Steel,

We believe that your weapons are the highest quality made anywhere. With this in mind, we would like you to outfit our black ops regiment, despite the high cost that this entails. We would like the best you can give us, which I assume is the deployment package for each weapon.

600x R2L Lightweight Assault Rifle (deployment package)

600x R2C Tactical Carbine (deployment package)

300x R2GM General Purpose Machine Gun

300x R2S Sniper Rifle (1,000 mm barrel)

We hope that these weapons are actually the best in the world, as they will be used by the most highly trained troop north of the Velmoria-Bittner Line.

Sincerely,
Patrik Harris

Do you sell designs for Weapons?

[Northern Colonies]

Hello

We would like to first congratulate you on winning the contract for the Defence Small Arms Procurement Programme. We wish to apologise for the delay between winning and offering the contract, due to some internal problems.

With that out of the way, we wish to enquire about some sort of licence for local production within the Northern Colonies. We acknowledge that yo have set the price at $900 billion, but is there any way of reducing that price?

Yours Sincerely,

Good health to you, Miss.

I can assure you that you have made the right choice. R2 is the most versatile and effective personal firearm available on the market today. We'll send you the package immediately by air shipping. I trust you will make the right choice eventually.

With sincere regards,
