It is now 1950, Drawing PhaseExamine the contracts in the main thread for a goal to work towards this turn. You will need to design a firearm to submit to atleast one of the contracts. It is recommended that for this first turn only one design be developed. Please propose designs to work one, and vote on which to do. Once results from this first phase are in there will be an opportunity for further revisions or the ability to go right to bidding, with the ability to shove a price on it and submit it for consideration.
The design should include the proposed goals for the gun, its operating mechanism, its cartridge, and any special features it uses.
For designing a cartridge, please specify the shape of the loading, if the round is rimmed, semi-rimmed, or rimless, and the size of the round in both overall length and bullet diameter. Alternatively, generalizations such as "small rifle cartridge" or "large pistol cartridge may be used.
For the first turn only you may rename your company and have a free revision for ammunition! You can vote on the name of the company and select a logo if you wish. The free ammunition revision will be carried out this turn.
