@ChiChiWerx We would accept your offer if it was not for the advanced stage of development of our pods designed for this task. But do continue development of said pods on your part. Perhaps you'll find a buyer, or an export customer of the type may find them useful.
@DankDorito You might want to say "based on the M120 turret" because the M120's turret is only resistant to projectiles up to rifle-caliber bullets and shell fragments.
We have officially abolished the caste system. That being said, it's hard to dismantle a system that existed for thousands of years which is deeply ingrained in culture through law. @PINK
@PINK You can fulfill your obligations for a unified East Asia by invading Korea. You have every advantage.
India and Nepal is not South Asia. Tibet and Bhutan are ethnically, linguistically, historically, and socially closer to China than India. Both Tibet and Bhutan are Buddhists, while Nepal is Hindu.
Our analysis determined that the British are more compatible with the Indians and Nepali than with the Chinese due to some shared culture courtesy of history.
Us Paternians don't really care for China. While they admire some of your policies, they scorn at others. Our Information Control tells us that this is the same in China.
If you need, we can supply 7.62x39mm ammunition. We produce it for our 7.62mm M33, or EA-47B in Paternian service. It's use is limited, but it's extensive enough to warrant manufacture of ammunition.
@PyrusEnderhunter Not all of them were burned. The Paternian Army encountered some in a Gabonese training ground; the incendiaries failed to ignite, and a dozen were captured.
@PyrusEnderhunter Nah. They were captured in Gabon and Congo, and given that we captured ~15,000 rifles, we issued them to rearline troops as the M50. They were unpopular and with no room for storage, most were scrapped. 100 were retained for familiarization training and analysis.
@PyrusEnderhunter Our bullets are designed for one thing, and one thing only: to kill.
That being said, if we need less lethal munitions, there's always low-brass 12-gauge loaded with rock salt, rubber slugs, wooden slugs, bean bag rounds, and tear gas rounds. This is why we keep shotguns in the inventory; their larger caliber and low operating pressures make them ideal for delivering less lethal loads.
7.62mm caliber bullets are larger than 5.56mm caliber bullets. How can a 7.62mm rifle cartridge be smaller than a 5.56mm rifle cartridge? @PyrusEnderhunter
@PyrusEnderhunter We tested the ALEK-50. It's shiet compared to the M16A2. The M16A2 has good accuracy (3MoA), great range (punch through steel helmet at 600m), power (internal tumbling + fragmentation in body + poor sod = FCUKED), and weather (M855 + 1:7 twist).
@PyrusEnderhunter We can offer back Sentian Africa under these conditions:
Disarmament of any blue-water naval capability
That 75% of all arms employed by the Sentian Armed Forces are Paternian-made or licensed
That we be allowed to have troops inside the nation
That only 1% of the GDP be used toward defense
That the Paternian Republic be made the Most Favored Nation for trade.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation It was designed for indirect fire. While this thing can be used in close range as an assault gun as it is fitted with prismatic periscopic gun sights and a 12.7mm machine gun, such a capability is secondary, and only incorporated to give the vehicles a fighting chance if forced to fight at close ranges.
Your MTTD is better at direct fire. Built off the chassis of a main battle tank, it can actually take a few hits from substantial weapons. As it is built off the chassis of the current main battle tank in your service, it can accompany them more easily. While its range is limited by its mount, this is less of an issue when employing the vehicle in direct fire. I suppose it does have a quadrant for long-range indirect fire, but I assume this function is secondary.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation It was designed in the early 1950's, with some inspiration from the MG42 and the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle, both weapons which Fabrique Nationale had access to.
If you wish, the MG42 and MG3 are perfectly capable weapons. The MG42 is a true engineering marvel. In my opinion, its main weakness was its excessive fire rate. While it makes for devastating firepower, it reduces controllability, increases wear unnecessarily, and makes ammunition conservation difficult.
In reality, the M60 machine gun wasn't very good compared to other machine guns, although this could partially be attributed for a desire for a lightweight weapon. For all the (many) flaws of the M60, the fact it was well-liked by troops in Vietnam told much about its good qualities. The only complaint they had was its weight; although it was lighter than comparable designs, the M60 was still heavier than an M16. Due to its weight, it was known as the "pig". It was replaced by the MAG in the 1980's as the M240, although US Special Forces still use the M60E3/E4/Mk47 due to its light weight for caliber.

@PyrusEnderhunter The air defenses that failed to bring down a single Phantom?
@PyrusEnderhunter They have jets that can challenge your air defense systems.
@PyrusEnderhunter A wall's not going to work. Mostly because they have this thing called airplanes that can fly over walls.
@PyrusEnderhunter Gato won't invade. He's got other shiet to worry about.
@PyrusEnderhunter It's a slightly more defensible position.
How does resettlement to Paraguay sound? @PyrusEnderhunter
Yes. Yes you were.
Now I need you to not invade the Stans for now. I need to get the ISFOS to Paraguay where they are harmless. @DankDorito
Permission to upload an improved variant? I'm working on it now.
@PINK I'm neutral in the conflict between you and Dank.
@PINK He's part of the MDP.
@DankDorito You might want to say "based on the M120 turret" because the M120's turret is only resistant to projectiles up to rifle-caliber bullets and shell fragments.
@PINK That's because the turret is mine.
@PyrusEnderhunter Did you misspell mean "military defeat"?
They do suck a lot. @PyrusEnderhunter
We both disparage your weapons. @PyrusEnderhunter
We have officially abolished the caste system. That being said, it's hard to dismantle a system that existed for thousands of years which is deeply ingrained in culture through law. @PINK
@DankDorito Sure!
@PINK The wide acceptance of policies we see as racist, such as an inherit bias to East Asians.
We also have AP ammo.
@PINK You can fulfill your obligations for a unified East Asia by invading Korea. You have every advantage.
India and Nepal is not South Asia. Tibet and Bhutan are ethnically, linguistically, historically, and socially closer to China than India. Both Tibet and Bhutan are Buddhists, while Nepal is Hindu.

@PINK Dank.

@PINK I think he's doing it just to piss you off.
@PINK @PyrusEnderhunter You can't Rush B China.
China Rush B you.
@PINK We can. Cede claims to India and I will not provide support for Persian invasion of Central Asia and provide support for the invasion of Korea.
@PyrusEnderhunter Not all of them were burned. The Paternian Army encountered some in a Gabonese training ground; the incendiaries failed to ignite, and a dozen were captured.
The bloodstained ones that we took off your guys. @PyrusEnderhunter
@PyrusEnderhunter We gave them manuals. They knew how to use it. We trained them.
It's just that many of the properties of the weapon wasn't very popular with soldiers.
And please, use standard measurements.
@PyrusEnderhunter Nah. They were captured in Gabon and Congo, and given that we captured ~15,000 rifles, we issued them to rearline troops as the M50. They were unpopular and with no room for storage, most were scrapped. 100 were retained for familiarization training and analysis.

@PyrusEnderhunter It's similar, but not identical.
It is a much, MUCH simpler design.
7.62mm caliber bullets are larger than 5.56mm caliber bullets. How can a 7.62mm rifle cartridge be smaller than a 5.56mm rifle cartridge? @PyrusEnderhunter
The M16A2 is a proven weapon. Low recoil, high accuracy, good firepower, good reliability, high degree of customization, and plenty of stopping power.
How? 5.56mm NATO. Half of the world's armies use it. I can remaster the rifle and claim it was captured by Paternian forces.
By the way, what cartridge does the ALEK-50 use? @PyrusEnderhunter
@PyrusEnderhunter No F-4s.
We can deliver Northrops. But you need to restrict your defense spending to 1% of your GDP.
@Simpleplaneboy Credit to Cedy117 for the build.
@PyrusEnderhunter We tested the ALEK-50. It's shiet compared to the M16A2. The M16A2 has good accuracy (3MoA), great range (punch through steel helmet at 600m), power (internal tumbling + fragmentation in body + poor sod = FCUKED), and weather (M855 + 1:7 twist).

@PyrusEnderhunter They both knew that either way, both of them will win.
I know many far more humble business owners.
@PyrusEnderhunter Well, there isn't many good things to say about a egoistic narcissist.
Either way, the world recognizes that I have dislodged you from Africa. @PyrusEnderhunter
CNN is actually quite neutral. It's just that the American Right has moved so far from center that anything center is seeks liberal. @PyrusEnderhunter
It is known that Russia helped him a lot. He's cozied up to Putin. @PyrusEnderhunter
Our plans do not require your assistance. @PyrusEnderhunter
Yeah. Not a lot of internal space there. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
I did not know you were Ukrainian. But do you think that Putin's pet (Trump) will do anything about it? @PyrusEnderhunter
Yes, Korea is very valuable. But it's also something that was indefensible from Chinese attack. @PyrusEnderhunter
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Idk.
The profile of this tank reminds me of the E-25.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation It was designed for indirect fire.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Actually, there's coaxial versions of the M60.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation It was designed in the early 1950's, with some inspiration from the MG42 and the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle, both weapons which Fabrique Nationale had access to.

@PyrusEnderhunter Goodnight.
