Substandard Equipment Corporation

Postby Breotania » Fri Aug 21, 2009 9:07 am

Being Breotania's premier private industrial corporation, SEC wishes to make its goods available to the international eye!

Is money pressing you? Quality getting you down? Need a lot of something quick? Let our children make it for you!




Military Equipment
So awful, not even our military uses them!

Image
SECG-25 Submachine Gun
This gun will only set you back $25.00. No standard cartridges fit this monster, and you'll be hard pressed to find a cartridge made for it that fits! This air cooled beast will jam with the slightest humidity in the air! Fool your friends! Laugh at your enemies as they pick up the failures that are your troops' rifles, and fail to fire a single shot as the barrel just falls off.

Image
SECG-49 Revolver
So cheap, it hurts! This $15.00 revolver accepts only a blend of .44 calibre minnie balls and gunpowder. Tired of having a revolver that turns to the next chamber for you? Turn it yourself!




Transport Equipment
Have your mechanics work twice as hard for equal problems!

Image
SECE-9432 Turbofan Engine
Guaranteed by government testing to almost always spontaneously explode mid flight, it's rated as one of the most fuel-efficient and green engines in all of Breotania! Only $500.00 for this monster and you can get rid of those pesky leftie politicians as they sit in transit!

Image
SECL-39427 Locomotive
Steam has never looked this attractive! For $800.00 this locomotive, built only 4 cm too wide to for standard tracks, makes the perfect April fools' day gift for the third world dictator. It can't pull as much as a diesel locomotive, nor is it as fast, but it can do it with style with its manual stoking action! Your engineers will never work this hard to get an external combustion engine working!

Image
SECV-1 Nuclear Powered Vehicle
New! From the makers of the wildly successful nuclear power plants all over Breotania, comes a vehicle that powers itself on the future for only $160.00! Requiring constant maintenence to prevent it from spontaneously melting down and causing a small nuclear incident in your garage, this car is perfect for the tinkerer inside all of us. Strong aluminum body design shields radiation so you don't have to.




General Products
We're so intense in our business negotiations that we cut the middle man in half!

Image
Rations-in-a-can
These rations last longer than their expiration date, they taste like rubber, but they'll get you through anything! Produced from native livestock entrails, a ration-in-a-can can feed most soldiers for a week for only $1.00
WARNING: May cause red tide poisoning

Image
SEC-47 Victory Cigarettes
Victory Cigarettes are the proud cigarettes of the Breotanian Army. Made with more tar than tobbacco leaves, they're highly addictive, radically cheap, and are so awesome they don't need to follow corporate tax laws! Have your troops smoke a pack full of Victory cancer sticks today! $.50 a pack




Custom Substandard Equipment
Need something, but it isn't listed in our catalog? Get a quote today! We will build it at half the price of our competitors!
Image
We will double our production speed just to get your custom order in!

Dear Breotania,

We would like to buy the single SECG-49 Revolver as a birthday gift for President Rokujo Miharu as it will be his 50th and he is a keen collecter of Revolver's. $15.00 has been sent with an extra $10.00 as a token of gratitude that you had them on sale because the President has been looking for the SECG-49 for years!

Sinsirly,

Beatus:

These schematics made by our core team of engineers should give you an idea of what we will make. It can carry 513 passengers comfortably, and 300 more if you use a broomstick! At 100 yards from tip to tip it barely fits but the referees you squash won't mind anyway!

Image

Powered by our turbofan engines specially modified for our patented Pripyat nuclear ship engine, this thing is a death trap filled with gallons of eco-friendly, highly flammable hydrogen! And it's yours for only $4000 per balloon.

Dear Antonio,

We will transport your locomotive as soon as possible! The manual is missing from our corporate databases, but it should be entirely self explantory to your engineers. Thank you for your patronage.

Currently, the D.R. of Karagua has a "coffee for coffers" program going. This program ensures that free coffee (or the poor cousin of coffee, tea), cheap shelters and transport will be provided for Karagua's poorest.

Therefore, we wish to offer the SEC a commission. We require military strength teakettles, buses and also temporary housing in order to shelter our most unfortunate citizens.

We look forward to receiving your propositions

Excellent, the prefabricated blocks will be sent by boat as soon as possible. Like legos, they can make numerous building designs. Also like legos, their roofs are not necessarily waterpoof. Best for botanists that like noisy neighbours!

Buses are available for only $800. They work on heat-based sterling engines powered by the internal cabin temperature. Carry 75 passengers. Entirely environmentally friendly. Excellent for winter. Also available with an articulated form for $850.

Sincerely,

Bernie Sleazeball

Our Latin American tobbacco slaves will be happy to make all of them! Crates of Victory Cigarettes will be packed and flew out as soon as possible. We appreciate the use of gold, which will be promptly melted down and sold as low quality teeth for awful rap artists.

Sincerely

OOC: As jewlery gold is an excellent and a quality material. As teeth, pure gold, being a very malleble metal, is an awful choice and would probably flatten after a good month or two of eating. This is what I mean by "low quality": in respect to dental replacements.

IC:
Thank you. Any open port in the main harbor of Holmgarov will work.
