' Wrote:Mercenary group called... ORMCO (don't ask). As mercenaries, they're employees (the actual mercs) will need armaments. Now, say ORMCO works out a weapons deal with a shady Russian who happens to own a warehouse full of post-Cold War weaponry. ORMCO mercenaries then go to battle for the United States. Now, wielding an AK-47 (or 74 if they're classy) does not make them a group of hostile Russian revolutionaries bent on the downfall of the States. It just means that they by some means or another dealt with a shady Russian ex-revolutionary.
The del Cids are hardly run of the mill guns available to everyone like AK-47 are. They're the Corsair's pride gun, our baby. The AK-47 were sold to anyone who had enough cash, so if someone had an AK47, it would be like someone with a debiliator, who knows where they got it? The del Cid is more specialised, if you have it, you got it from one place, and one place only: Corsairs. Sure you could buy from dealers, but not enough to equip a whole faction.

If you think you're worthy of them, make a formal request for them, don't just take them for granted and buy 'em. You're neutral/friendly on good terms with the Corsairs, not allies. Even the CR, our allies, when they need del cids, ask before they buy 'em.
