Steel Rain: Restocking the Armory · 10:33pm Nov 18th, 2013
OK, the time has come!
Our stock of ordinance for our Commander's A-10 is running dangerously low, so we need to requisition more. Without ammo, our beautiful warmachine is nothing more than a yard ornament or overgrown paperweight. This is unacceptable!
The only problem is that I'm new here, so I have absolutely no idea what the usual requisition orders are, or what the inventory is (All I saw was a large room labeled "Boom Stuff" that had a few bombs, missiles, and a LOT of cobwebs).
So, I'm going to need everyone's help to figure out what we need, so I can submit the proper forms.
If you have any ideas or suggestions for any ordinance that we may, or may not, need at any point in the future, send me a PM with the Name, Type, and a Description of the ordinance you want requisitioned.
It can be anything from shot shells for the main cannon (for those pesky flying things), to cluster bombs that drop cupcakes on the heads of those pompous Canterlot nobles. I'm sure the lads over in R&D can build just about anything that you people can think up.
HOWEVER, the Princesses have issued standing orders forbidding the manufacture of any ordinance that has greater destructive potential than the Mk-84 that was detonated over by Sweet Apple Acres. Anything that "goes boom" smaller than, or as big as that is fine. If you wan't something bigger, you'll have to get special permission from the Princesses, Captain Armor, and the Base Commander.
Other than that, anything goes, and you can submit as many requests as you want, so be free my pretties, and HAVE AT THEE!!!
*Ahem*
I mean... I'm accepting any and all requests now.
...
Have a Nice Day!
[TLDR]
Accepting ordinance requests. Anything goes (And I mean ANYTHING. Use your imagination), but nothing larger than a Mk-84. PM me with the Name, Type, and Details. Submit as many as you want.
I will find some. My duty is for the Hog.
Well, We would need to know what he would need it for. The hog is outfitted with different things on different occasions.
I think the best choices for the hog in Equestria is something along the lines of anti personnel munitions like napalm and Lazy Dog bombs (which are flechette cluster bombs). If there are confirmed sightings of armored fighting vehicles like war trains, Da Vinci tanks, iorn clads and steam-punk style zeppelins, then feel free to blow them sky high with any of your favorites.
OhmygoshIalmostforgot !
I just figured out how to solve our "short" runway problem.
Remember how navel carriers can use steam powered catapults?
We can use unicorn magic as a modified catapult for the hog!
Isn't it the most ingenious solution for our "short" problem?
1519247 That's the thing, you don't need to know! You supply the ordinance, and I get to figure out how to incorporate it, no matter how ridiculous it may be.
1519805 Hmmmm, interesting. While I already have a plan that remedies the runway issue, I may still be able to use a catapult for something...

Oh my, yes! Brilliant! I think you'll approve of what I just came up with.
1520625 Huzza! The fun has just been doubled!
Like an arresting wire perhaps because this would be the first carrier based hog in its history.
Just remember to put in something to help with the landing.
Priority Message 2-8-3-0-6, Class 2 security clearance required.
To: First Lieutenant John "Aquila" Killinger.
From: Research and Development station Echo.
Location: Classified.
We hope you receive this message soon Mr. Killinger. We do not know how long the peace talks with the Griffon Kingdom will hold but time is running out and Equestria is in no shape to fight a war. The griffons are a fighting nation with numbers ten to one to our sparse Royal Guard.
We need your help but you need ours as well. Your "Warthog" is in shambles and you need what you call fuel. Our division can help with the fuel. We have been looking for a substance that can work with your machine and we may have found the ponies that can help.
After being driven out of Ponyville, sales ponies Flim and Flam have been trying to invent a new cider drink that holds more alcohol than usual. The end result was a very flammable liquid that nearly destroyed their super cider squeezy 6000.
We will be sending you some of this liquid for you to confirm if this can be used on your machine. We hope that it does. If it does, we will discuss with Flim and Flam as to how they managed this feat and we will send fuel to be ready to use at the WonderBolts Training Academy as soon as possible.
With the best of luck to you,
Professor, Tony Spark.
GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb. Something tells me that it shouldn't be to hard to mount a few of these on his aircraft.
Here is the wikipedia entry for the GBU-39
tomahawk
sea sparrow
C-RAM
AGM-65 Maverick
AIM-9 Sidewinder
AGM-130
Hydra 70 (specifically the LAU-130/A)
LBU-30
I also think that you should also have some more air support. Some UAVs, some attack helicopters, and an AC-130 Spooky Spectre. Seriously, who doesn't want air support from a Spooky?!
UAVs
Predator C
MQ-9 Reaper
Helicopters
AH-1W SuperCobra
AH-64 Apache
Westland WAH-64 Apache
Sorry I can't attach links to the items, I'm on my NOOK and it doesn't allow me to do that kinda thing. To find the descriptions, go to Wikipedia.com, thats where I found all of them.

I'm all for Naval support..... But an Iowa class Battleship might be a little overkill.
However, if I somehow find myself a need to blow up the everything from 40 km away...
1698898 It can also be a means of a forward operating base. And can spy with its drones.
1701183 Heh, a mobile FOB, with 16-inch guns... I like it. Although, I doubt that I'll be able to get to anything that big in this story.......
1701698 a MK-84 that upon exploding, spawns Chuck Norris.
A Twilight Sparkle gatling gun.
A Hydra-70 rocket pod that shoots beanie babies
Aim-120 AMRAAM that explodes glitter
A Mk-84 filled with cake batter
Aim-9 sidewinder AAM filled with frosting. To be used with the previous bomb
A Blu-82 bomb that spawns minecraft sheep. (Yes the blu-82 is more powerful than the Mk-84 but this bomb spawns sheep. Minecraft sheep.)
A hydra-70 rocket pod that shoots muffins. (Basically, a derpy gun.)
Thats all i can think of for now.
