BELOW: AR-7 shown with major components disassembled. For many years the Armalite Division of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation has been designing and producing advanced military firearms for governments throughout the world. All Armalite production is keyed to the rigid specifications demanded in modern military weapons. The following are two of the models which demonstrate the latest advances in small arms logistics. Both are .308 NATO caliber with major parts completely inter­ changeable not only from rifle to rifle but between rifle and machine gun. These weapons are at present available only to friendly foreign powers. AR-10 LIGHT MACHINE GUN A one-man load allowing belt fed machine gun firepower at less than the weight of automatic rifles in previous conflicts. In mobile situations it feeds from a back pack, allowing a single man to operate. AR-10 ASSAULT RIFLE A 20 cartridge capacity semi- and full-automatic assault rifle weighing less than eight pounds with advanced balance and recoil characteristics which allow it to be fired with one hand. Click adjustable sight is protected and built into carrying handle. The gas operated AR-10 embodies modern light alloys and fiberglass except in the actual firing mechanisms to achieve its unprece­ dented low weight.

As an analyst of the global arms trade and weapons proliferation for thirty years, I recognize the transformative power of regulatory reform. But this is something else. The proposed revisions promise short-term benefits, which seem unlikely to amount to much in an already competitive global market. That makes this deregulation for the sake of deregulation itself. Meanwhile, the change unleashes three forces certain to accelerate long turn American industrial decline and loss of influence over global consequences. First, they show that the United States no longer will set global normative standards for all form of arms transfers and non-proliferation. Previously the United States Government has shown it will not further tighten restrictions. As the first outright relaxation of oversight standards in arms exports in over fifty years, the change marks a switch in policy dating from the Kennedy Administration.

  • TL7 Handguns
    Deep Web Secret Deep Web Secret Automatic Pistols These weapons use Guns(Pistol)/TL7 skill. AMT Automag .44 AutoMag (Holdout -2) AMT Original Automag: A large single action semi automatic weapon, this is the original Automag by Harry Sanford. When it was introduced in the seventies this was the first pistol to fire high powered magnum cartridges. Clint Eastwood takes a break from his .44 Magnum to use the .44 Automag in one of his Dirty Harry films. It has been out of production for close to two decades now, but after Harry Sanford died in early 1999 the AMT factory was sold off, and the new owners decided to run a limited series of original Automags in the .44 AMP caliber. These guns will be exact copies of the original guns. This may also mean that they will only function properly with full powered loads, and that some parts (most notably the extractor) will be somewhat fragile. Most likely these guns will seldom be fired anyway, as they are instant collectors items due to their reputation and their flashy, sleek and slightly futuristic looks. Should these guns be used they will look very intimidating and at the same time classy, combined with a lot of recoil... The Automag is a recoil operated pistol, is made entirely of stainless steel, and these new guns are of excellent quality, unlike some of the last pistols made in the seventies. They are very accurate. The magazine holds seven rounds of .44 AMP ammo. AMT Automag III (Holdout -2) A large single action semi automatic weapon, this is the brainchild of Harry Sanford, creator of the original automag.
