Chapter 81 The most advanced guns and windfalls

In the empty field, a few rabbits stood there and looked around, but soon they were frightened and fled.︾

Bang! Bang! Bang!… Bang!

"Ahhh! That's great!"

I saw an iron can in the air being ravaged by several bullets. One, two, three, this unlucky guy was shot three times in a row, and his posture in the air was dying, but the fourth shot was just a slight difference.

"Huh~" Li Mengyang, who had just demonstrated his magical shooting skills, blew off the white smoke at the muzzle. He only got three shots in four shots, and he didn't shoot the last two. Has this guy's shooting skills regressed?

"I really didn't expect that you can not only write novels, but also have such good marksmanship... Ha, by the way, the legendary Clint Eastwood is also a sharpshooter. If you two compete, hahaha... Clint faces Clint! It must be very interesting!" Elena swears that she has never seen such a marksmanship before, which is simply magical!

"Well, I must know that Clint if I have a chance. He dares to share the same name with me!" Li Mengyang said in his heart. Clint faces Clint? This is absolutely impossible.

"Ha! That must be very interesting." Ilena was watching the shooting skills, but some people were watching other things.

"My..." I originally wanted to say 'comrade', but the big Bill understood Li Mengyang's eyes, so he wisely changed his name, "Mr. Li..."

"Call me Clint!" Alas, damn beef noodle.

Big Bill?

That's right, it's him. This guy was standing next to Li Mengyang at this time, like a servant, or the housekeeper was more like that, because the servant was not as good as he did, and he looked like a rich man.

"Okay, do you think there is anything else to improve this gun?" The big Bill was really respectful to Li Mengyang.

"The length of the barrel is OK, but the hammer is a bit bloated, and the handle is still uncomfortable, it is still too similar to the navy. You must know that the posture of holding the gun is different, so you have to change it..." Li Mengyang complained, and it turned out that the gun just now was not the Colt 1851 navy he used before.

But this is still a revolver!

It's definitely a revolver, but it's an unprecedented revolver.

The revolver of this era is still equipped with a front gun, so there should be no changes. Although Colt has launched several improved versions of the 1851 Navy model, most of them are just minor changes, and other companies are also like this.

These guns have one characteristic, that is, the barrel is relatively long. The pistols of this era are really long, especially if they are not suitable for women. If they are long, they will naturally be heavy.

Now the gun in Li Mengyang’s hand is shorter first, and the overall shape is very similar to the revolver of later generations. Moreover, it is a rear loading. There are bullet holes in the revolver on the revolver!

Obviously, Li Mengyang has used his talent in painting again...

However, there is actually a technical constraint here, that is, why are their pistols long?

It is because of the length of the barrel to better ensure accuracy!

Li Mengyang didn't know before that, in fact, the double-track was first used on pistols because there was no way to make double-tracks on the spear at that time. Although the early double-tracks were straight, even the hexagonal barrel was considered a double-track.

The barrel of the pistol was relatively short, so Colt cleverly applied the line to his revolver. As a result, the pistol was much more accurate than the rifle at that time. The price of a Colt revolver could buy 6 rifles!

The situation is much better now, but that has only happened for more than ten years. In other words, the gun changes at this time are not very big, and the biggest change in the gun in Li Mengyang's hand is still inside, that is, the barrel of the gun is a spiral-shaped repetition line!

This... Did Li Mengyang transform into a little inventor? How could he get a pistol?

In fact, it’s not that Li Mengyang is the inventor, the inventor is still the bald alcoholic, and the reason why he can hold such an advanced revolver is because he is in an arsenal at this time, his Clint Lee’s arsenal!

The story here is long. To put it simply, Li Mengyang conquered the big man Bill for investment at the beginning, but in fact he wanted to buy an arsenal to make weapons.

You know, Li Mengyang was rich at that time. After snatching it all the way, he really had too much money to spend. So he came up with this idea. Investing in an arsenal these days is definitely a great future, and this thing is closely related to his big plan.

When the big man Bill arrived in the east, he naturally began to look for suitable investment goals everywhere. As a result, he was very lucky and soon found a bankrupt arsenal.

It was still in 1858, and the arsenal had just announced its bankruptcy in Rhode Island less than a year. It happened that the arsenal fully met Mr. Clint's requirements, which was its advanced technology!

What are the requirements for advanced technology?

It's very simple. Li Mengyang's request to the big Bill was quite vague, which means he asked him to try it out, could he find a factory that could produce rifles that could load bullets from behind.

In fact, it was because Li Mengyang didn't know the exact time when the rear-loading gun appeared. He just felt that it should be there now, but the combat methods and weapons he saw of the US military were all equipped with guns.

Unexpectedly, there is really, and it is in the United States, this arsenal in Rhode Island!

When Li Mengyang received a telegram from the big man Bill and saw the description of the products produced by the arsenal in the telegram, Li Mengyang was extremely confused.

The rifles produced by this factory are not only loaded afterwards, but also used copper-shelled bullets!

Yes, it is basically the same as the later rifles that Li Mengyang knew about. This is definitely one of the most advanced weapons of this era, but why did this arsenal go bankrupt?

You should know that the former owner of this factory is named Ambrose Burnside, and it is said that he is also a former US military officer, which means that he should not worry about sales channels.

But, it just went bankrupt!

However, if you think about it briefly, it seems that you can find the reason. The cost is high. Nowadays, ordinary people in the army are loading guns before using it. The bullet is just a bullet, and the other gunpowder is contained in a paper bag. The cost of the paper bag is definitely much lower than that of copper, right?

Moreover, the mechanical design of this kind of rear-loading gun is quite complicated. Although it is easy to use, the cost must be higher than the weapons used by the US military on a large scale. The current Springfield rifle is only 30 US dollars per one. Burnside's gun is good, but the cost is only 50 US dollars. How can you compete?

In addition, the current US President Buchanan is still constantly disarmament. Even if the gun is good, he will not buy it.

The US military at this time and the US military that Li Mengyang knew about later generations were simply armies from two worlds!

So, Li Mengyang was cheaper, and the market situation in the past two years has changed a little. After this company was acquired by Li Mengyang, the US military soon came to buy it, just try it with your gun and see how it is.

As a result, the order was really coming down, saying that the guns produced by your company are so good!

Buchanan suddenly became generous?

No, but the cavalry of the US military can't stand it anymore. They are really tired of the days of being infantry and cavalry. They need a rifle that can kill the enemy immediately, and they are not damn "infantry and cavalry"!

Li Mengyang's investment quickly returned to the capital, but the gun was sold to the American cavalry, and it must have been to kill the Indians. So, out of morality and conscience, Li Mengyang secretly sold some to the Indians. You must know that this is not easy, it is smuggling.

It seems that Li Mengyang is doing what the United States did during World War I and World War II now, and is still in the United States...

This new type of revolver was born naturally. This type of pistol is double-moving. Of course, it is borrowed from the products of Remington, and the handle, as well as the carvings on the gun. In the future, it will also learn from Colt... Nowadays, everyone is copying me, I copying you, really, the United States is like this, don't think there is a patent law.

As for the spiral duplex line, this was made by Eriksen. Of course, the inspiration came from Li Mengyang. In fact, the cannon of the bald inventor was the "duplex line" cannon, but he was in a tragedy.

Not only a pistol, but also a new type of rifle, which was also designed by Li Mengyang. Simply put, it is actually a large ‘revolver’, with a rifle plus a revolver ammunition cabin. Li Mengyang’s little chicken pecking rice map has made contributions again!

This guy Li Mengyang set up an arsenal and this is what he wants to...

"Let me play with it too!" It seemed that I was curious about everything. Ilena was not very brave and wanted to steal the gun.

"This thing is dangerous!" How could Li Mengyang accept it?

"Seeing women?"

"..." Li Mengyang was speechless. Why are there so many feminists these days? That little girl Eleanor is the same.

Well, Elena is older, she is over 20 this year.

"I tell you! These things are nothing at all! Our DuPont family is just a gunpowder! There are still few guns?"

It seems that what people said is right.

"Then you can't shoot. The recoil of this gun is still very strong. Your women's strength is too weak. Oh, I'm not looking down on women, but the fact."

Li Mengyang didn't tell any lies, but Elena's face was not good-looking. However, after thinking for a while, Elena smiled again.

"So, Clint! Can you let your arsenal create a gun suitable for women? If you can do it, I will help you get gunpowder! I am a member of the DuPont family, and I have understood gunpowder from the end of my life!"

"..." You can't say that, this proposal is really good and very tempting, but can this woman really succeed?

To be honest, there is really a certain reason why Li Mengyang brought this Ilena and the DuPont family behind her. Now, the girl is going to make gunpowder by herself. Is this reliable?

Just as Li Mengyang was about to make a decision, the big Bill saw someone greeting him.

"Hey, son, come here and meet the famous Mr. Clint!"

"Son?" Li Meng and Yang Xunsheng looked over and saw a very capable young man coming over.

"Oh, is it that Mr. Clint Lee? It's really good to be lucky, hello, my name is John Rockefeller."

The young man stretched out his hand, but Clint Lee's hand stopped in the air...

Rockefeller?!
