The Imperial Military seeks new Small Arms Provider

[Kreigan]

The Empire of Kreigan and it’s Emperor rely on the effectiveness, fidelity and lethality of the Imperial Armed Forces. With this in mind, the Imperial Armed forces is looking into procuring a new standard issue infantry assault rifle for its forces. Currently the standard issue weapon is the AK-102 and AK-15 for special forces operators. We would like something that has the reliability of the AK, but better in terms of accuracy and range. Something versatile that can be used in both urban and rural combat for long and near distance. Which ever company can deliver on this, will be awarded the contract to be the main supplier of the Kreigan Imperial Armed forces. This could also lead to future production of squad automatic weapons, anti-tank weaponry etc. Good luck and God speed.

Signed,

Johanne Valheimer
Imperial Armed Forces Chief Commander

[Bulgar Rouge]

Salutations from Bulgarian State Arms! We are the primary arms manufacturer of the Revolutionary Entity of Bulgar Rouge, offering a complete range of weapons systems - from revolvers and pistols to agile artillery systems and heavy vehicles. Our small arms portfolio may be particularly suited to your current needs.

We have several suggestions from the Bulgarian State Arms catalogue, most notably:

• Pobeda Assault Rifle, 5.45x39 M74 assault rifle, an improved, lighter (at 3.27 kg) and more accurate version of the AR-M1, itself an AK-74M improvement. The rifle features a foldable stock as a standard issue, making it versatile in both urban and open-space combat; Soviet-pattern mount which could be replaced with a Picatinny or other custom interface for optical, optoelectronic or thermal sights; mount for underbarrel laser, shotgun, grip or grenade launch system, and option to add a silencer. Unit cost is $500, and we can offer a progressive discount for orders of more than 50,000 rifles.
  
  
  
  
  
• Arktika Battle Rifle is a 7.62x54 mm R alternative, which may be a bit heavy for the issued specification, but is still a unique firearm not found in other catalogues. Also coming with a foldable light stock as standard, the rifle features a bigger effective range (700 m) compared to the Pobeda (500 m), and greater penetration power - especially at longer distances. The rifle is particularly suited to open-air combat in harsh environments, although a combined laser/reflex sight is also available for urban combat. Unit cost is $1,700, and we offer a bulk discount of 15% for orders of more than 35,000 rifles.

[Nachmere]

Dear friends,

Schwerpunkt is the leading arms maker in Nachmere, with decades of experience in small arms and heavy arms production. We supply arms to many dozens of national armed forces and law enforcement agencies across the world. We believe that the latest iteration of our ARI-72 platform is very suitable for your requirements.



To learn more about this rifle please click here. In addition to the information in the product page, we would like to elaborate on why we believe the ARI-72 Mk.2 is the correct rifle for your needs, and Schwerpunkt is the correct contractor.


* The ARI-72 is a well developed and combat tested AK variant. It combines the AKs reliability with AR ergonomic features.
* The ARI-72 is chambered for the ballistically superior 6.5X39 Grendel, increasing accuracy and lethality at medium-long engagement ranges, especially when combined with our high standards of manufacture and barrel making.
* Due to economy of scale, and the ARI having been sold by the millions, the price per unit is excellent.
* Schwerpunkt already produces a wide range of small arms with a similar manual of arms as well as shared maintenance components with the ARI-72, such as the Pinzetta marksman rifle, the Magal SMG, and the Kanar LMG. We also produce very capable anti-tank weaponry. We would be very happy if you take the time to examine these weapons here.

We hope to be able to equip your forces, and are happy to answer any questions.
Schwerpunkt.

Mr. Riley Church,

Thank you very much for your companies bid in becoming the Kreigan Imperial Armed forces main supplier. We would like to ask, is the reliability of your weapons? The Empire of Kreigan expands over many different types of terrain; some being very harsh and unforgiving climates. Such as arid, high temperature weather regions, humid, swamp and marsh regions. As well as extreme cold tempratures in our northern territory. Thus, we need weaponry that our forces can count on when conducting combat operations in these harsh weather and climate conditions. We've also dealt with many complaints from our troops about the reliability of our current squad automatic rifle, which is known for malfunctioning so much so, that troops refuse to use it in ambush initiation. Another question we have, is how reliable are your weapons in prolonged engagements? For example, if we have troops engaged in twelve hour long firefight with enemy forces, will your weapons hold up with the amount of round expenditure, or will they start to jam from carbon build up? Thank you in advance.

Mr. Johanne Valheimer

I understand your concern.

We have conducted many tests for our rifles, for example, we conducted an extreme cold weather test, and a dust test of 60 000 rounds.

During the cold weather test, we froze the rifles for 40 minutes in -15°C, both rifles fired without any issues.

For the dust test we fired 60 000 rounds, the MX had 196 stoppages, while the AAR-20 had only 173 stoppages.

However we recommend to keep the belt-feeding part of the AAR-20 well lubricated to maintain optimal performance.

Honorable Sir,

As we are sure a man of your position knows, and any rifleman is aware, the reliability of a firearm is quite difficult to precisely measure. Any firearm, even the most reliable, will surely succumb if mud gets into the locking lugs, or if the firearm is fired for long enough without proper maintenance.

Having noted the above, ARI-72M is regarded as a highly reliable rifle by all of its dozens of military and LE customers. There are several reasons:

*The ARI-72M is based on a fundamentally reliable action(Kalashnikov long stroke gas piston). Moreover, The ARI-72M is substantially more resilient than most firearms based on this action, because it has a milled steel receiver, more stable method of dust cover assembly, and extremely high build and material quality.
*The ARI-72M is the latest iteration, but the ARI-72 has served in Nachmere and elsewhere for 5 decades. The platform is therefore refined, with improvements to the gas system, spring weights, and more.
*The ARI-72 is combat tested and proven. In addition it has withstood several military trials programs around the world, and in the ones in which it was tested against the AK and AR platforms consistently outperformed them in reliability in most conditions.

To summarize- the ARI-72M will match or outperform any similar weight and cost weapon in combat conditions in all environments.

As for the issues you describe with your squad automatic weapons, we would urge you to consider the Kanar LMG from our catalog. It is based on the ARI-72 but brings much more to the table, including quick change barrels and constant recoil. We strongly feel purchasing both weapons will be extremely beneficial to you.

We remain at your service for further questions.
