Chapter 775: The Important Hantian Arsenal(2/2)
The gun is very easy to operate, with few steps and simple movements, which results in a faster rate of fire.
When Luo Zhixue watched them fire live ammunition, he found that the testers actually fired more than ten bullets in just one minute. The rate of fire was quite fast, much faster than the Type 18 rifle from the Tianjin Firearms Factory.
Moreover, they use self-developed brass all-metal bullets, which are powerful and have a long range.
But it is not without flaws. The bullets they developed have not solved many technical problems. They have huge flaws and are easy to explode. There are also other problems, such as deformation, jamming, etc., and the recoil is also very large.
In terms of overall practicality, it is actually not as good as the Type 18 rifle from Tianjin Firearms Factory.
But it also has unique advantages, that is, fast shooting speed and long shooting range.
Many people in the Army still admire this rifle. They believe that after some defects of this gun have been improved, a batch of test equipment can be purchased on a small scale and compared with other breech-loading rifled rifles through actual use and actual combat.
.
In other words, for the Chu Empire, there are currently two breech-loading rifled rifles as candidate models, and it is estimated that more types will appear in the future.
After all, there are not only two weapons companies in the Dachu Empire, but five. The other three weapons companies are also developing breech-loading rifles. When the time comes, they will definitely come up with their own breech-loading rifle designs and use them.
To compete for orders for the new generation of main standard rifles for the army and navy.
After visiting the Hantian Arsenal, Luo Zhixue ran to the Hantian Machinery Factory next door.
The Hantian Machinery Factory is famous as the most powerful machine tool equipment R&D and production factory in the Chu Empire, and it almost monopolizes the domestic high-end finishing market.
Luo Zhixue is actually not very interested in their machine tools. What Luo Zhixue is interested in is their research on a series of special steels.
Although Hantian Machinery Factory only produces machine tools, it is actually the most technologically advanced special steel R&D and production company in the Chu Empire, but they do not sell special steel raw materials to external parties.
Generally, they are directly integrated into their own machine tools and other equipment for sale.
The second is to supply some high-performance parts for others, such as bearings...Hantian Machinery Company is also the largest bearing manufacturer in China. The bearings they produce have very good performance, but of course, the price is also very expensive.
Therefore, although it is a special steel manufacturer, Hantian Machinery Company and Tianjin Iron and Steel Company are the same raw material supply companies.
