So, heres the list of stuff we got so far.
Grenades:AS-G27(C) grenade is a very simple design consisting of thin steel can filled with explosives and long wooden handle. Grenade is primed by pulling the pin sitting on top of the can. It can be thrown up to 30 meters thanks to it's design, or dismounted from the handle and used in bobby-traps.

AS-G27(F) is basically fragmentation shield that can be put around AS-G27(C) can for additional effectiveness against infantry. On the downside, it makes the grenade heavier, and reduces the range to 20 meters.

AS-27(I) is AS-G27(C) grenade with mostly incendiary filling and only small explosive charge in AS-G-27(C) can. Because of reduced explosive strenght, the can must be made out of aluminium for it to function properly, which reduces the fragmentation and incerases the chance of breaching the can, but it retains the 30m range

AS-27(S) is AS-G27(C) grenade with smoke. Enough said.

AS-27(AT) is AS-G27(C) grenade with shaped charge for exploding enemy tanks. It's noticeably heavier and bigger, so it can be thrown only 15 meters. It also lacks any way to ensure 90 degree position other than putting it on enemy armor by hand, so effectiveness is completly dependent on soldiers skill.

Assault Rifles:The AS-AR27 is an assault rifle meant to chamber the 7.76mm round. Its maximum cost is 3 Ore, including the use of aluminium.
The AS-AR27 is an assault rifle meant to chamber the 7.62 round. Its maximum cost is 3 Ore, including the use of aluminium.
Create full automatic rifle using new 6*36mm rounds. It should be easy to handle, not complex to produce, reliable, rugged weapon. Use aluminium for anything but barrel and fire mechanism (but 2 ore max)
A rifled barrel designed to fire a 50mm shell and to be man portable. Use of aluminium allowed to make it lighter if possible. It is intended to act as an anti-tank weapon at least at medium range, therefore efforts are made into researching Anti tank shells.
A simple Shoot-through type rifle grenade. Impact detained with a choice of fragmentation and high explosive.
Litle more than a pipe with a triggering mechanism, this reloadable device launches a 80mm rocket out of one end of the tube at armored vehicles. This rocket contains a new shaped charge warhead that is much better a penetrating armor than traditional HE warheads.
The AS-RPG27 is a rocket launcher that fires 50mm rockets. It's a reloadable device that comes with shaped AT rockets and shrapnel rockets (tech gained from our landmines.
A re-loadable, man-portable AT weapon that consists of a 80mm shaped charge propelled by a should fired spigot mortar. it should be able to generally hit a tank or armored vehicle at 100m with decent accuracy and has the option for HE warheads for direct-fire against infantry.
AS-RAT27 is 88 mm calibre reusable multi-purpose rocket launcher. It consist of 2 meter long aluminium tube with simple ignition device. It's light enough to be carried by one man, even if it's quite unwieldy, it can also be mounted on small two whelled carriage for better accuracy, or even combined together and placed on vehicle or carriage for use as multiple rocket launcher system. Maximum range is around 750m. It utilizes Flare, HE, HEAT, and Incendiary rockets.

Rocket Artillery30-rail rocket launcher system mounted on a towed carriage or truck. Ammunition is 80mm wide and 2 meters long, with warhead weighting 3,5 kg, capable of being either incendiary, regular HE, or flare.

A mobile, multiple rocket launcher system intended to provide heavy, mobile artillery support. It consist of a rack of 10 double rails on which 12 cm rockets are fixed. The system can be mounted on trains or used as fied artillery piece, but its main intended use is to be mounted on our truck.
The HA1927 is a large, heavy 130mm artillery piece for long range, heavy bombardment mounted on a new 4 wheeled carraige that allows a wide traverse. It has hydropneumatic recoil and is deployed by cranked down 6 heavy supporting jacks to lift the wheels off the ground.
Light tracked, low silhouette vehicle armed with the same gun as our tank (50mm, but no turret) uses light armor (3 ore) and relatively weak, cheap, simple, reliable engine. (2 oil). Do not try to create a high performance engine for it, use proved solutions. Should have level 2(or 1) forward armor and level 0 side\top\rear armor. Target price of the vehicle is cheap or at least expensive Try design a variant of 50mm gun with a longer barrel and advanced AP shells (tungsten, sabot, heat, whatever), failing that revert to standard 50mm gun. Don't forget to add AA machingun.
A fast Armored personnel carrier, armed with our recently designed machine gun. Armored with spaced light aluminum armor , and powered with a simplified fuel injection engine, it can carry a small squad of soldiers (including driver) to combat lines at appreciable speeds. Tracked for decent all terrain performance.
AS-FI27 is a small, high wing monoplane 2-seater liason aircraft, capable of carrying another 4 people in cargo compartment. Only it's frame is built out of metal, the rest is made of cloth and wood. It uses 9 cylinder engine, similar to the one used in AS-DB-HF-23, but upgraded with lastest technology. It's only weapon is AS-1924 machine gun mounted behind crew cabin.The plane is capable of extremly short takeoff and landing, 60m and 20m respectively. The plane can be used as officer (spy) transport, air ambulance, light cargo delivery and battlefield reconnaissance, but suffers greatly from lack of radio.

If I haven't included your design, it's your own fault for not using damn spoilers.
Also, since it's horrible to keep track of voting (I have no idea how Sensei is doing that), you guys should make it more clear what you're voting for. Prefferably by using complete weapon name. If you want to vote for something that hasn't been written up yet, make it or don't vote.
