Small Arms

Vann Arms - VR 6.5 rifle

Unit Cost: $2K NSD
Ammo: 6.5 Grendel
Barrel Length: 16in
Magazine Capacity: 26 rounds
Max Effective Range: Point 700m, Area 1000
Weight: Empty 6.9 lbs., Loaded 8.0 lbs.

The 6.5 Grendel round is known for its long range. They are more expensive, but provide better performance and efficiency. Vann Arms has delivered the VR 6.5 in bullpup form. This design helps offset the slightly heavier weight with better balance. It also helps offset the slight increase in recoil from 5.56. A picatinny rail allows for a variety of sights to be utilized. This weapon provides a good intermediary caliber between 5.56 and 7.62 ammunition.

Vann Arms - VM 6500 machine gun

Unit Cost: $5.5K NSD
Ammo: 6.5 Grendel
Barrel Length: 22in (interchangeable)

Effective Range: 800m - 900m
Maximum Range: 1350m
Rate of Fire: 1100 - 1300 rounds per minute

The VM 6500 may appear similar to the MG3 at first glance. A look at the handguards would show more ventilation for cooling. The rectangular design of the modernized muzzle break is also different and designed to facilitate ventilation. The 6.5 caliber helps save weight compared to 7.62 systems. The 6.5 Grendel ammunition also allows for more rounds per belt, distributed within convenient dual barreled drums. The round also provides greater range and accuracy with more punch than 5.56mm machine guns. This makes the 6500 a unique tactical choice for mounted and dismounted troops.

United Armory - MBT20-AA 'Thor'

Unit Cost: $5 Million NSD
Crew: 3 (commander, gunner, driver)
Engine: 1750 hp diesel
Transmission: 12 speed automatic
Armor: composite, explosive reactive armor
Main Armament: 120mm smoothbore gun
Secondary Armament: .50 cal machine gun
Operational Range (per fuel tank): Road - 480 miles, Cross Country - 110/130 miles
Speed: Road - 49 mph, Off-road - 32 mph
Weight: 55 tons

The MBT20-AA 'Thor' represents Vangaziland's first indigenous main battle tank design since 1964. It will replace license produced T-90 tanks as early as mid 2020 in the Vannish Army's armory. It is a modern design which uses an autoloader system to reduce the number of crew to 3. It features a modern array of sensors. The vehicle's targeting rangefinder is capable of pulling grids which can be relayed to artillery or even air assets for follow on support missions. The Thor also contains a sensor suite capable of detecting incoming missiles and even the act of being targeted by such systems. They can trigger smoke launchers, infrared jammers and even decoys in the form of chaff and thermal flares. These are aided by the vehicle's radar absorbent and thermal reducing paint. The Thor is still far from a stealth vehicle. These systems can only attempt to throw off incoming ATGM launchers.

MBT20-AA tanks are made to be lighter than tanks like the M1A2 Abrahams by using the autoloader to reduce weight and vehicle size. It features a powerful Vannish Motors diesel engine that produces approximately 1700 horsepower. The diesel allows better range than turbine powered tanks, yet the increased horsepower provides worse fuel efficiency than T-13 Armata tanks. Control is provided by typical motorcycle handlebar type steering. A central position gives the driver an excellent perspective of operation.

Vannish Motors - vFAB 'Vannish Fast Attack Buggy'

Unit Cost: $550K NSD
Crew: 2(gunner, driver) + room for 1 passenger in rear
Engine: 345 hp V6
Transmission: 8 speed automatic
Armor: open-air, 7.62 resistant around compartments, up-armor crew protection available
Main Armament: 6.5 Grendel caliber 'Slim-minigun'
Secondary Armament: door mounts for assault rifles or light machine guns
Operational Range (per fuel tank): 250 miles per tank
Speed: Road - 70 mph, Off-road - 45-55 mph depending on conditions
Weight: 4200 lbs

Vannish Motors enters the fray of military equipment with the vFAB. The vehicle provides an intermediary between completely light, unarmored fast attack vehicles and heavier 4x4s. It is transportable in systems like the Osprey VTOL, Chinook helicopters and other aircraft with similar capabilities. The vFAB is heavier than other FAVs because of the armor which protects its rear component and engine blocks. The V6 engine is more powerful than others in its class which make more like 160-200 hp. This allows for the use of up-armor kits to installed over the open air cabin's doors and windshield. The vehicle is fast, mobile and packs a serious punch. The latter comes in the form of the Grendel caliber minigun often called the 'Slim-Mini'. The caliber adds even more range to the minigun system, which is controlled by the gunner remotely. A screen and controller are opposite of the driver's seat. Since the weapon fires so quickly and these vehicles can only carry so much ammunition, it is imperative to implement fire control and discipline. Firing short bursts is preferred over long sprays. The vehicles are best utilized in unconventional, fast-attack, strike and run scenarios.
