[font=Times New Roman]I wouldn't touch a filthy Maltese gun if you paid me!
[size=small]But I hear some of our working-class ensigns like to sport them on their prole-mobiles.

It presents a really wrong image about a hard working faction.
I didn't mean to insult you or anything, it's just based on some rumors I read in Kusari.
I agree with Athenian, no real Bretonian pilot would mount anything but Splitters and Sunrails, if only for national pride. (All the houses, as it stands, are very nationalist)
On top of that, the ceasefire (which is more of a "Stay out of each other's ZOI") that currently exist between Bretonia and the OC is a secret, a lot of people suspect it, but largely lack the evidence. Similar to how Bretonians accuse Kusari of cooperating with Corsairs, as baseless as it may be. (I'm actually not very knowledgeable about the Kusari/Corsair dynamic, someone should post a link.)
Mounting Krackens would lead to obvious evidence for all to see.
As for the QCP angle:
How close are the OC and QCP? I'd think they'd be in competition over pirating territory.
But assuming they put aside their differences to fry the bigger fish, there's still not a lot of reason for gifting guns to the QCP. Outcast tech is highly advanced, and when you give to a band of marauding ultranationalists, who knows where it will end up. It's not like they'll just hand it back after the war.
Even with the less-than-hostile status between Bretonia and the OC nation, neither side wants to give valuable technology to each other, they certainly aren't allied, and certainly aren't friends.
QCP got rather big chance to get our guns, why?
they shoot colonials
they shoot IMG
they shoot sairs
they shoot kusari's (but not GC or BD)
they shoot traders that is supporting kusari
they dont shoot oc
they rarely shoot cardi/slave smugglers (havent heard of more then 4 cases within the 7 months ive played here)
basically, they our "best friends" to be befriended. Their even helping us more out on a military aspect then most of our allies is, yet, they ask for nothing in return, but a few guns to make them even more efficient in helping us.
