One design, one right - a gun and all its revisions only belong to one person at a time.

Each revision creates a new gun with rights different from the original.

I have no opinion.

ACTACTACT
Contract: Mariti Naval Office
Weapon:  TM-18-1A "Buzzard"
Pitch: With its two barrels and extreme fire rate, round-for-round, the Buzzard is capable of firing for much longer than any of the competition - giving the equivalent of sustained fire in a fraction of the time. Think of the bang you are getting for your buck!

Choose power and efficiency. Choose Korsgaard.

Don't tell them that while the failure rate per round is low, the overall failure rate is less than stellar.

ACTACTACT

Contract: Mariti Naval Office
Weapon: A1 Holocaust
Pitch: The A1 is a reliable, long-range, high-powered weapon ideal for situations where fresh water and maintenance facilities must be carried around anyway. Even if it has trouble hitting an aircraft, it is guaranteed to put the fear of God in one.

Be prepared to win a contract!  Nothing is quite as sad as defaulting because you didn't have any sub-contractors lined up for the contract you won!

At this point I would just like to say that Exemplar Armoury is fully capable of fulfilling one half of the HMG contract instantly.

In the event that Korsgaard Armoury wins the contract from the Mariti Naval Office, Exemplar Armoury agrees to provide two shipments of 13.5mm Korsgaard ammunition and one shipment of "Buzzard" HMGs at the earliest available opportunity. To facilitate this, Korsgaard Armoury will grant Exemplar Armoury the licenses for the production of the arms and ammunition in question, lasting until the contract has been fulfilled or defaulted.

Korsgaard Armoury agrees to provide Exemplar Armoury with a total of $50 per shipment of Buzzard machine guns and $7 per shipment of accompanying 13.5mm ammunition.

In the event of Korsgaard Armoury failing to win the contract from the Mariti Naval Office, this subcontracting agreement is null and void.

Warehouse: 1 Occassio Company Charter – Rohnmohal Armoury

Spoiler: RA Designs (click to show/hide)

Rohnmohal G18
The Rohnmohal G18 (not to be confused with the M18 or ’18) is a semi-automatic rifle with a free-floating barrel and a ten-round internal magazine of 6.5x48mm ammunition.  The G18 utilizes a long-stroke piston; though robust, it does make the gun heavier and increase perceived recoil.  The barrel and piston float above a wooden stock, which makes testers nervous despite assurances its to increase accuracy.  This float decreases the effect of humidity on the weapon’s accuracy, but the smaller ammunition and powder load gives it decreased range and accuracy over most existing bolt-action rifles despite the addition of aperture sights.  It’s also not uncommon for the user to bump the barrel with their fingers and be burned.

The ten-round magazine sticks out the bottom of the gun and is fed by two 5-round stripper clips, though keeping the magazine at max capacity will quickly wear out the magazine spring and result in failure to feed.  The “large” magazine size and semi-auto fire makes the weapon enjoyable to shoot, at least, and the smaller caliber helps offset the recoil of the long-stroke piston.  In fact, were the barrel shorter it might be ideal for closer-range combat than the long-range it’d been designed for.  Although some thought has been given to field-stripping, the G18 still requires dedicated tools to access the internal mechanisms.  The process of loading, aiming, and maintaining the rifle requires a non-negligible amount of training.

Cost: $18 Per Unit

Subcontractors: In the event Rohnmohal Armoury wins the Imperiosa contract, it seeks two (2) Partners to aid it in fulfilling the contract in regards to both weapons and ammo. Terms to be negotiated by interested parties.

Sandblaster Inc. is proud to place a bid to assist Socialas Party Police in asserting their superiority with the Commie Crusher '18, the ideal weapon for all loyal Communists Commissars to Crush Dissent.
"The Commie Crusher '18, due to being a Revolver, is immune to jamming. It is a large and intimidating pistol with a sexy blued finish. The trigger has been made so that its user KNOWS they're purposefully purging disloyal criminals of the State and is not prone to other manufacturer's accidental discharges that could injure loyal party members.  Wood handles are provided so the user can place their favorite Marxist-Leninist sayings upon their service weapon for inspiration.
Finally: The CC’18 functions perfectly well when pointed downward at a 45 degree angle."

The Commie Crusher ’18 (whether it’s disparaging communism or supporting it is unclear) is a double-action revolver chambered for six .38 rounds (not to be confused with .38 Special) with a sexy blued finish.

The CC ’18 uses an ejector rod to eject spent brass after use.  The above-average caliber results in a substantial kick, as well as a larger cylinder than most similar revolvers.  The double-action makes the trigger quite stiff, to the point where users actively complain about it.  The cylinder notably wears out after several dozen rounds, causing the loaded shells to be seated loosely inside – initial analysis rules out a bad batch of steel or manufacturing defects, so it’s an actual design flaw somehow.  Even worse, acquisition of Maple Wood is extremely difficult in Occassio, and a number of CC’18s have actually had their handles crafted with inferior pine wood.  Accuracy is neither exceptional nor terrible, allowing the revolver to sit as a mediocre weapon for a sharpshooter.

It is worth noting that the CC’18 functions perfectly well when pointed downward at a 45 degree angle.

GM Clarification/Question

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Just to be a wrenched player the exemplar(pistol) should be an open barrel/bolt/system meaning that like an open bolt where the bolt is locked rearwards and when the trigger is pulled it move forwards picking up and fires the round in one motion. In this case the barrel is locked forwards and when the trigger is pulled it moves back picking up and firing the round in one motion. So unless it's a dud round nothing should be chambered, however the flaw otherwise is still completely valid as if you pulled the tab forward enough to be able to pick up a round without engaging the sear a misfire would happen more or less in the same way. So this gribble is completely for future designs/revisions. Hopefully it not already like this and I'm not wasting your time.
On that note with combining revisions is it
Design Phase 1                          Design Phase 1
Revision A                      or         Revision A
Revision B                                  Revision B
Revision Combine A/B               Design Phase 2

GM Question

Given the phases available for some contract, is the intended rate of production one shipment per phase or one shipment per turn? Because of if it's the latter, some contracts might just be plain brutal and unprofitable to fulfil
