@YuukaNeko If you wish to know, the system for all my bolt-action rifles are based on the Mauser type, because the Mauser bolt-action system is easily the best in the world, sold and manufactured widely, and copied by more.
The M28 (marketed as K-28) was single-shot because there is no way a single-shot breech-loading cartridge rifle is going to jam on you.
Of course, this reduces the speed which one can acquire new targets or reengage the first target, so it was later replaced by the M38 rifle, which like this, features a magazine. Still, the M28 still sees use among airborne and Scout Ranger units due to its detachable barrel (which the M38 omits in order to make magazine feeding reliable without affecting accuracy) and the lighter weight due to the lack of a magazine and its feed system.
Nice job though. I may make a sniper rifle based off this, although certainly downsized to 7.62mm NATO for obvious reasons.
Three actually. The Broadsalian Republic, who just had a big war with the ESR, the Canadian Republic, and Alix451 Industries, the latter who is a contractor for the Paternian Army. @Mudkip
@Alix451 Yeah. We figured that the first shot should also be the last shot when engaging armor.
Emphasizing its lower profile. However, we also know this is not always the case, and gave it lots of armor.
As of now, the Victoria series is one of the most powerful in the world. 70 tons of battle-proven steel and composites, there is nothing in the world that can punch through its thick hide.
When Awwami tanks first encountered it, it proved a very tough target, forcing them to engage the sides and rear at suicidal ranges, where its gun could kill them at long ranges.
While it is not as superior as it once was, it is still a very tough target, tougher than any other tank out there.
Now of course, this comes with downsides. Being a 70 ton tank is not an easy thing to be, and areas where the lighter Avenger and Ardent could travel, the Victoria could not.
In addition, its transmission was borrowed from the 30 ton Avenger tank. Although re-geared to accommodate the higher mass of the Victoria with great reliability, the machine is the slowest of all main battle tanks, and often after the initial assault, it would be overtaken by faster vehicles.
Furthermore, these things cost a fortune: P$5M per unit, or US$25M per tank. In contrast, the M6 Ardent costs P$2.1M, or US$10.5M per tank. They also have greater maintenance requirements, so they aren't something the budget-minded politicians like.
But the troops do, and it is by its popularity that the machine remains in service.
@TheBroadside We have four fast battleships in our navy: the PRN Iowa (BB-61), the PRN New Jersey (BB-62), the PRN Missouri (BB-63), and the PRN Wisconsin (BB-64).
All of these ships are of the elderly Iowa-class, and all of them are in service, with many upgrades, and no intention of giving them away.
However, we do have the rest of the order.
Each PGB will cost you P$15M, and each heavy cruiser will cost you P$75M.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Well, in my opinion, you're placing your weapons in a highly exposed position. If we were able to cut off Europe, then everywhere else will be left with little to fight.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Where? You may have bases in France and Anatolia, but our union with Katipunia means that we can use Katipunian territory to establish a military presence. You don't.
One side of the Straits of Gibraltar is owned by Katipunia and the other by Sals, and by extension, us, via our base in Ceuta and soon, Gibraltar. In addition, we have bases in Tangiers, Casablanca, Malta, Dhekelia in Cyprus, Heraklion in Crete, Naples, Genoa, Venice, and Sicily.
The only other outlet is the Suez Canal, whose eastern bank is under your jurisdiction.
I doubt you would challenge a navy who has equipment, numerical, and personnel parity and a clear geographical superiority. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
All of Australia and over half of Asia, which mind you, is the largest continent, as well as a third of Antarctica. @1gman4evr
@1gman4evr My bet is with Awwam.
They literally have 1.5 continents.

@JakeTheDogg Kind of.
@TemDesBur Yes.

@PINK Inspiration came from the Challenger 1 turret.
@MadBomber Thanks!
@TheBroadside Okay.

@TheBroadside The Patrol Boats we already have on hand.
The heavy cruisers will take one month.
@Alix451 155mm M8 coilgun.
@TemDesBur Thanks!
@Alix451 Cool!
We have a dischord server. I suppose you can join it. @Alix451
@GoldenEagle I would like to inform that @Alix451 is a part of this RP, allied with (or a member of) the Paternians Republic.
We'll take the conversion kits for P$700K. Although I should note the base vehicle's price is actually P$1.4M. @Alix451
@Alix451 Welcome to the C&C RP! As you can see, there are dozens of factions.
I am the leader of the Paternian Republic. I suppose, since your builds are of modified Paternian Army vehicles, you could join us?
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Well, it's a family of vehicles. That was the base hull which is then changed to suit different needs.
@Alix451 Go ahead! I was planning to do that anyways, but other projects occupied my mind.
Also, I will link you to the RP which this is relevant in.
@iFalco Nope. Was irrelevant in our use and balancing. We balanced them differently.
And welcome back. For a moment, I thought my helicopters will be the only remnant of your presence here.
Accepted. We will be retrofitting 1,350 vehicles with this system. How much will that cost, per unit?
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Wait, are you offering Korea to TheBroadside?
@TheBroadside We have four fast battleships in our navy: the PRN Iowa (BB-61), the PRN New Jersey (BB-62), the PRN Missouri (BB-63), and the PRN Wisconsin (BB-64).

There is our M6A4 UPS Ardent and M8A1 General Burns. @TheBroadside
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation @GoldenEagle @JakeTheDogg
Np! @livetoplay11
@rubbishcraft @MadBomber Thanks!
Wonderful application of my design.
I may procure and adapt them for our purposes. We were developing an IFV variant, but this will fit the bill.
Of note, the roundels on the side is of the fictional nation of Paternia in the C&C role play.
Cool! @AceOfSpade
Pretty standard price for something if this quality. @Planesbemodified
@Gmanndo1000 P$1.5M, or US$7.5M.
@Gmanndo1000 We can grant a license to produce them.
@TheBroadside I'm sure you can charter one out.
@TheBroadside You can use the Panama Canal if you need to.
Can't wait to see what you make. @YuukaNeko
Sorry. Go ahead. @mahir
Oh cool. @MAHADI
P$2.1M each. @TheBroadside
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I could see that.
Of note, there are numerous amphibious vehicles already.
One tip: dispense with the square blocks.
Fuselage blocks are your friend. Anything you could do with square blocks, you could do with fuselage blocks, for less parts, and for greater detail.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Well, in my opinion, you're placing your weapons in a highly exposed position. If we were able to cut off Europe, then everywhere else will be left with little to fight.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Where? You may have bases in France and Anatolia, but our union with Katipunia means that we can use Katipunian territory to establish a military presence. You don't.
Welcome back! @Mudkip
@YuukaNeko Never heard of it.
We have forces in Sals.
One side of the Straits of Gibraltar is owned by Katipunia and the other by Sals, and by extension, us, via our base in Ceuta and soon, Gibraltar. In addition, we have bases in Tangiers, Casablanca, Malta, Dhekelia in Cyprus, Heraklion in Crete, Naples, Genoa, Venice, and Sicily.
