"Huang Sanmao!" "Arrived!"

"Li Dashu!" "Arrived!"

…………

This was a ribbon gun ceremony. Following a short and powerful roll call, Hainanese men wearing new military uniforms and dark faces came to Tang Jian with excitement. After saluting him and accepting the return gift, they took the hand from him.

A brand new standard rifle. The grease on the metal parts of the gun body has not been wiped off, but these people don't care. After getting the gun, many people directly stick the barrel to their faces, which is much more affectionate than the mother-in-law at home.

.

——Eight months after coming to this era, through the joint efforts of many comrades such as the steel group, weapons group, chemical group, and mechanical group, these time travelers finally created a standard rifle that completely uses local materials. This makes their

The armed forces have completely entered a new stage.

The main structure of the self-made rifle imitates the Sharps M1859 single-shot rifle during the American Civil War. It uses a copper primer and a paper shell for custom-loaded ammunition. In addition, the butt, handguard, etc. are increased in strength, and the length is 310mm.

A short bayonet to meet the actual combat requirements of the military group "which can be used for both long-range shooting and close combat".

The reason for using this model was decided after long-term discussions and extensive comparisons among all R&D staff. Compared with the "normal" weapon development process in history, this group of time travelers can directly plagiarize most of the weapons from modern times to modern times.

The design principles and general structure of classic guns mean that they are definitely advanced in terms of design concepts, but this does not mean that they are omnipotent.

The production of new gun types is still subject to several constraints such as raw materials, processing technology, and logistical supply pressure. The lack of steel and copper, as well as the primitive backwardness of processing equipment, forced them to give up the idea of ​​​​directly manufacturing automatic rifles - originally directly

It is easiest to imitate those two 56 semi-automatics.

In terms of processing technology, machine tools brought from modern society have machine life problems, so they cannot be considered as long-term production equipment. Therefore, the mechanical team mainly uses self-made hydraulic machinery to process components, or simply outsources them to outside carpenters to make them manually——

For example, gun stocks and handguards, etc. Modern machines are only used in places that cannot be bypassed, such as barrel rifling.

In terms of materials, this new gun only uses steel in the hammer, hammer spring and locking block, and other parts mainly use wrought iron. The bayonet is also made of iron, and only the cutting edge is strengthened by the carburizing process. According to the above

After this battle experience, the new gun bayonet no longer uses the most lethal triangular style, but returns to the traditional flat sword style.

The reason why they did this was because they found that using a three-edged blade in the civil war was just asking for trouble. The three-edged blade would bring great difficulties to bandaging, and these difficulties often ended up falling on their own rescue teams -

-In the last battle, except for a few people such as Jack, Shi Yisheng and Wang Dalin, it was difficult for the temporarily trained rescue team to learn to sew three-sided wounds. As a result, many Ming soldiers who had surrendered lost their lives in vain because their wounds were difficult to bandage.

, if these people had survived, they could have added another group of good labor force to the prisoner of war camp.

After opening the blood groove of the flat sword-type bayonet, the killing ability is not much lower than that of the triangular type, but the use function is greatly increased. The design team fully reflects the flexible thinking ability of modern people in these small places - they imitate the American M9 as much as possible

Functional military bayonet. It has many additional functions. Such as the serrations on the back of the knife, the small whetstone and shell hook on the scabbard...etc., although the main material is only iron and wood, and the scabbard is made of hard leather, but the ingenious design

But it has become a work of art almost more popular than the rifle itself.

Zhang Ling and Zhang Ruheng loved this kind of dagger so much that he almost agreed to let go and join the short-haired team for this reason. In fact, except for the fact that the former Ming Army Qianhu officer has not officially announced his joining, everything else is different from the short-haired team.

There's no difference in hair - my head was shaved bald when I was bandaged for an injury, and it's just grown out a short layer recently. No one would believe me even if I went outside and said it wasn't short hair.

In terms of speech, he also gave up the sour classical Chinese spoken before - this was still a habit left over from when he was raised as a scholar when he was a child. But now Zhang Ling speaks Mandarin with a Shaanxi accent, and the only thing left is a trace of the past.

, that is, when someone scolds "**Mom", he will respond with "Fuck you mother".

At present, Zhang Ling is assisting A De, Guo Yi and others in managing the entire prisoner-of-war camp - not only the Ming army prisoners of war, but the white sailors are also designated to be under his jurisdiction. There are many Ming army prisoners of war, and Zhang Ling himself has enough money.

, can completely suppress those unruly Westerners.

It’s just that Zhang Ling has fewer and fewer people under his command recently. Many people have been abducted to join the short-haired army. The new and sharp firearms of the short-haired soldiers are too tempting for these soldiers, especially when some of their former companions wear

New military uniforms. After running back with new guns to show off, many people could no longer hold on.

"Sir, let's surrender too..."

Even his close family generals made such requests in private, Zhang Ling's heart was not shaken, but thinking about the hundreds of people in his hometown in Shaanxi, he finally resisted the temptation.

I didn't dare to think about the fire gun, but the short dagger was really exquisite. Zhang Ling's family also had a blacksmith shop. His old Zhang family had played with long knives and short swords all his life, but he never thought that a short dagger and a scabbard could do so much.

There are many tricks out there. Zhang Ruheng, who prides himself on being upright and upright and never uses the back door, finally made an exception for this and went to find Bei Lai Pan to make friends. He managed to do it and was amazed by it every day.

Of course, the dagger is just an accessory, and the most important advantage of this gun is shooting. The Sharps gun should be regarded as the best weapon among paper-shell rifles. A skilled shooter can reach a rate of fire of 8 to 10 rounds per minute.

, even facing the cavalry charging at full speed, as long as the difference in numbers between the two sides is not too big, they can be completely suppressed. This point was repeatedly emphasized during the design - although they are still in Hainan at the moment, the biggest imaginary enemy of this group is not

Across the strait was the Ming Dynasty, but the Eight Banners Braided Party and the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry.

The paper-cased bullets used black powder. Although the chemical team stated that they could already use nitrocellulose as the propellant, considering factors such as the longevity of the wrought iron barrel, black powder was ultimately chosen as the propellant.

The tissue paper wrapping the ammunition was originally treated with nitrification and was expected to be burned together during firing. However, it was later discovered that no matter how it was processed, a lot of residue would eventually be left in the chamber or enter the barrel, posing hidden dangers to continuous firing.

So I simply didn’t deal with it. After firing, there would be large pieces of shredded paper left. Use the hook attached to the scabbard to pull it out directly, which is cleaner.

One advantage of a single-shot rifle is that the type of bullet can be changed at any time. Engineer Xu Hui specially designed two types of bullets. One is a soft lead bullet with a hole at the bottom, which is cast from a lead-tin alloy in a ratio of 12:1 and fired out.

After hitting the target, the warhead immediately deforms and expands. According to the experiment of shooting pork, the final shape of the bullet is similar to a small mushroom, and its stopping effect is absolutely powerful. Even if it shoots a tall horse, it only takes one shot to knock it down.

The other is XCMG's professional specialty - he used to study armor-piercing bullets. The so-called "No. 2 bullet" is a soft lead inner core wrapped with a layer of hard metal armor, which is used to hit people wearing heavy armor or hiding behind

The enemy behind the shield. This kind of bullet was not mass-produced at the beginning. As a special ammunition, it was distributed to soldiers at a rate of 20%. However, it was consumed very quickly in actual combat because its penetrating ability was very strong.

Not only can it easily penetrate almost all armors and shields of this era, but it can also penetrate simple bunkers such as small tree trunks and thin earth walls.

Many soldiers loaded hard warheads and fired indiscriminately when they couldn't clearly see the enemy's position, and often achieved some unexpected results. Their lethality was also good. After all, there were only a few brave men who could still fight despite heavy injuries, so it didn't take long.

, the distribution ratio of hard warheads and soft warheads was reversed, becoming 4:1.

The maximum range of the standard gun exceeds 500 meters, and the effective range is stipulated as 400. The shooting points issued by the weapons group indicate: Unless it is covered by a cluster barrage, it is not recommended to shoot cluster targets and two targets beyond 300 meters.

A single target 100 meters away. However, judging from the actual combat data later, the weapons team’s judgment was a bit conservative. Under the strict training of the military team, there are quite a few sharpshooters who can hit a single enemy at a distance of about 400 meters. When simple

After the advent of optical sights and steel rifled barrels, coupled with special bullets, sniping at a distance of seven to eight hundred meters is no longer a myth.

Historically, the length of the standard Sharps M1859 was 1.2 meters, while the self-made imitation version of Chuangzhong was 1.5 meters long. Equipped with a 30 centimeter bayonet, even in close combat, the length of the 1.8 meter weapon would not be compromised. The weight of the entire gun

Of course, it is much larger than the original American product, but it is not entirely a shortcoming - Tang Jian and others compiled an improved assassination tutorial that used the action of hitting with the gun butt, and they also took it into consideration during the design.

In short, this is a weapon with quite Soviet characteristics - it is stupid, bulky, but strong and durable. After getting used to its weight, the soldiers quickly regarded it as their most beloved treasure. Don't talk about eating and sleeping.

Even if you go to the latrine, you have to carry it with you, which is in line with the military command of "keep your gun away from you".

This is exactly what Tang Jian, Wang Haiyang and other trainers want to see - not long ago, the management committee made a suggestion through Xi Xi: once the new army has mastered the new firearms, it will immediately send troops to Qiongzhou Prefecture, and then control all of Hainan.
