Amaïh Kûrvi-Tasch, engineers today we face our sworn enemy's the dastardly Syldavians.

While the liberation war as destroyed much of once glorious arsenal, today we have new allies.
Our comrades in the Warsaw pact  are able and willing to arm us so we can defend our self against the smelly Syldavians.

Spoiler: Bordurian Designs as of 1950 (click to show/hide)

Pistols
--------------
-Walther PPK: a small german made semi-automatic pistol, chambered in .32 ACP.
Small, compact the gun that kill Hitler but weak and inaccurate.

Rifles
--------------
-Mosin-Nagant: A Russian made rifle, A bolt-action rifle with a five-round clip which fires 7.62x54mm rounds. Good accuracy, but a dated design.
--------------
Machingeguns
--------------
-Bren light machine gun: A english made light machine gun, uses 30 round box magazines and fires .303 British.
The limited magazine reduces it fire power.

Tanks
--------------
-T-34 tank, a Russian made tank with a 76mm gun and 18-75mm of armour.

Planes
--------------
-P-51 Mustang, a American made  fighter-bomber, capable of speeds of over 400mph and armed with 6 .50cal machine-guns.

Time to fix up the rifles.

Spoiler: Model 1 A.B.R. (Automatic Battle Rifle) (click to show/hide)

This design features fully automatic firing, with a magazine of 25 7.62x54mm rounds, in order to have an existing surplus of ammunition. Other features include; A wood butt stock, bayonet mount (If we have them in stock), and a set of dandy adjustable sights. Truly, a weapon for the mighty land of Borduria to call it's own.

Cant we just request AK-47's from our good friend Mother Russia to fix our rifle issue? After all, I'm sure the warsaw pact are more then willing to hand a few of them to us.

Just barely, but yes. However, this is likely not the greatest plan, considering:

1: Favoritism will be to interesting and color full proposals.

As such, designing our own weapons would likely yield superior results.

I like the ABR, it is a good workhorse design. It might need a bigger magazine though, 16 isn't enough to get anything done. Especially for a fully automatic rifle. We should increase it a bit, maybe going in the other direction and adding a particularly large magazine, such as 40 rounds to keep it from just being an AK clone. An assault rifle isn't a bad place to start, considering we currently have nothing filling that role.

We should probably plan on going nuclear in the long run .

**EDIT**

Perhaps the design should be a banana clip...designed to look like the glorious mustache on the flag?

[Doubloon-Seven]

Hmm. Can we alter designs before they've been accepted? If that's no problem, how about changing the 16 round magazine to a 30-35 round one?

First the ak is a brand new weapon right now and the Russian army doesn't have enough for it self, let alone giveing them to you in any great numbers.

Remember it will take repeated requests to get the designs in full.
The first to field a small number of them, the second to start your own production
and the third to get the designs.
And yes that rule is partly to stop you fielding weapons the first turn there made.

[Doubloon-Seven]

I'm guessing that that response is a 'yes', so I've altered my proposal slightly.

[Funk]

It's voteing time, now i take it your all be in agreement on the Model 1 A.B.R?
You haven't asked for any thing from the Warsaw pact, what do you want?

[Stirk]

Well we could use some AT and AA weapons, since right now our tanks and planes are the only thing that can engage enemy tanks and planes effectively. Let's ask for an RPG-6, which gives our foot soldiers enough firepower to take the enemy tanks easily if they can get in range.

Borduria turn 1950

Our smart engineers have produced a new weapon design, the Model 1 A.B.R.
An elegant 4kg combination of wood and steel, the new weapon features an integral bayonet and 25 round magazine.
Fireing the same powerfull 7.62x54mm rounds as our old rifles but in fully automatic.
The usefulness of fully automatic fire is debatable, as it fires at some 900RPM but some say you might suddenly need to shoot at low flying aircraft.
It controllability is not debatable, there isn't any, the first round will hit the target but the rest just fly over it's head.

In early 1950 the stinking hordes of Syldavia launch there attack, sending there army against our eastern boundary.

Our warriors bravely try to hold them back but the S have brought new heavy artillery, American 155 mm Long Tom to be exact. 
Forced back under heavy fire our troops regroup and counter attack in the central mountains.
Here our troops unveil the new Model 1 A.B.R. for the first time pitting them against the capitalists new TB-1 Rifle .

It's a short compact rifle in a new 7.62×51mm round, each rifle comes with a pistol grip and uses 20 round magazines as stranded.

With it larger magazine, automatic fire and integral bayonet, our rifle it proves it self able to suppress the enemy. 

Useing the RPG-6 Anti-Tank Grenades our commandos destroy Syldavia's bunkers line and armour forcing them back.
As first snows fall you get back to the drawing board.

Spoiler: M.A.C.-1 (click to show/hide)

Short for Mobile Artillery Cannon, this weapon is essentially a motorized artillery piece, mounted on a wheeled chassis, propelled with a 325hp engine. The gun in question fires a 65mm shell. It is crewed by three people; The loader, driver, and commander, all of whom sit in a compartment to the side of the gun, besides the loader, who sits in a chair besides the gun.

[Funk]

Ok i'm over Christmas so what design have you settled on and what do you want from you allies?

[Stirk]

I don't think we talked about it yet .

So the gun was a success. The full auto not hitting anything isn't a large problem, its sufficient for the more tacticy uses of full auto fire while short bursts do their job of actually taking down targets. As long as the troops are trained to properly use it, we should be able to rely on it for a while.

Arty: They currently have heavy artillery. Counting with our own artillery might work, though if we keep trying to slug it out blow for blow it would come back to hit us. I think we should focus on air support, which can currently only be countered by our enemy aircraft. Air strikes should be able to take down the enemy artillery without threat of retaliation, while artillery would have more difficulty performing an anti-artillery job.

So lets base an aircraft on the Soviet MiG-15

Spoiler: Avenger Aircraft (click to show/hide)

An early jet, based off of the MIG-15. Has a Klimov VK-1 engine and four .50 cals that we use in the Mustangs. It is equipped with an all-flight tail and swept wings, allowing it to achieve transsonic speeds (end goal ~90% of Mach 1). Contains under wing hard points capable of dropping 50–250 kg bombs, allowing it to perform a fighter-bomber role taking out ground targets.

That should allow us to have air superiority while taking out the enemies' heavy artillery in one swoop .

Jet? Jet!

[Funk]

A jet it is then, any request from you allies?
