After listening to Tang Nengzhi's introduction, everyone picked up the fixed Type 01 rifle and tried the feel. Some even tried to fire two shots, while others whispered to discuss the pros and cons of the Type 01 step.

Luo Yue said: "How is the production capacity of this gun now?"

Tang Nengzhi said: "More than 2,000 units have been produced now, and the next step will be trialed in some troops. If the trial is passed and production is fully started, about 2,000 units can be produced in a month. If production is accelerated, then it can reach 3,000 units."

Luo Yue nodded. In fact, production capacity is also one of the criteria for measuring the quality of a rifle. Therefore, an excellent rifle should be able to facilitate large-scale development. If the production capacity of Qingdao Arsenal can reach 2,000 per month, it is still considerable. The East China Government will not have only one arsenal. After the other arsenals are completed, the People's Army should be able to achieve comprehensive replacement within two years.

At this time, Cheng Yajie, the commander of the cavalry regiment, beat a * and turned his head and said, "Although the size has been shortened, this type of rifle is still a little too long for the cavalry. I remember that all the rifles in this era should have a shortened size Carbin type, which is for cavalry, artillery, machine gun deputy, communications soldiers and non-main combat troops."

Tang Nengzhi smiled and said, "Of course, there are 12 sample guns that have been produced, with a total length of only 960 mm and a barrel length of 550 mm. They do not have bayonets. The other structures are exactly the same. Further testing is underway. It is estimated that they will be initially finalized next month."

Cheng Yajie nodded and said, "That's good, but cavalry is different from infantry. It also needs a type of automatic rapid-fire weapon that can be at close range. If there is no other choice, the Mauser 96 pistol can do it. At least the power of the Mauser 96 pistol is still OK within 60 meters. Is the arsenal still producing the Mauser 96 pistol?"

Tang Nengzhi smiled and said, "How can such a typical pistol not be produced? Isn't this the case?" As he said that, he asked someone to take out a box and open it, and saw 12 Mauser 96 pistols and accessories placed inside.

Tang Nengzhi picked up one and said, "We officially named this type of pistol, but it was imitated according to Mauser 1932. In the old time and space, this was the last production model of Mauser 96, and it was mainly made for the Chinese market at that time. There were only two improvements: one was to improve the shooting mechanism so that it could be fired continuously; the other was to be equipped with a 20-round long magazine, so the wooden gun magazine was combined on the gun as a *, which could be used as a submachine pistol for shoulder-to-shoulder shooting. We also changed these two points, mainly for cavalry use. In addition, the caliber is also used as 7.62 mm, which can be used with rifle bullets in emergency situations. Of course, if the cavalry is used, the gun magazine must be combined before combat."

After hearing this, Cheng Yajie nodded repeatedly and said, "That's good, that's good." Although the cavalry is also a regiment-level organization, it is not actually full, because the cavalry adopts the "44" system, and now the cavalry regiment actually has only three cavalry battalions. Seeing other troops destroying cities and setting up camps on the battlefield and making achievements, although the cavalry has participated in several battles, they basically serve as reconnaissance, patrol, and sending messages. Although this is also the essential task of the cavalry, they have not officially participated in the war. This is a very embarrassing thing for an army. Therefore, Cheng Yajie also hopes to have a chance to let the cavalry try their skills on the battlefield. Before that, of course, they must first install the cavalry.

At this time, Luo Yue said: "I think it is best for infantry to be equipped with a certain number of Type 96 pistols, because in this era, the chance of close combat of infantry is very high. Equipped with certain rapid-fire weapons can gain a certain advantage in hand-to-hand combat. A squad must be equipped with at least two, carried by the squad leader and the deputy squad leader. There is no need to have more bullets. Two or three magazines are enough. During hand-to-hand combat, the squad leader and the deputy squad leader can provide close-range fire support to other soldiers under the cover of other soldiers."

Another regiment commander, Chu Yahui, nodded and said, "Yes, it would be better if there is *, but at present, the Type 96 pistol is the best choice. Moreover, non-main combat troops such as artillery and communication soldiers can also be equipped with this type of pistol. Anyway, it is also used for self-defense, and the power of the Type 96 pistol is enough."

Another regiment commander Zhang Jiandao: "By the way, are there any new products for the officer's gun? The Type 96 pistol is good to supplement the firepower of hand-to-hand combat, but for battalion-level officers, it is a bit overpowering and inconvenient to carry it."

Tang Nengzhi laughed and said, "Yes, yes, of course." As he said that, he asked someone to bring a few boxes and open them, took out one from a box, and said, "We have imitated a total of two-type pistols during this period. This type is an imitation of the Bronning H1900 pistol. Our official name is the 1900 pistol."

He also introduced: "The Browning M1900 pistol is the world's first automatic pistol, and the sleeve structure is designed. However, due to the early design, the sleeve structure is different from the later automatic pistols. Modern automatic pistols basically use the sleeve structure with the barrel on the upper and the spring on the lower. On the contrary, the m1900 adopts the structure with the barrel on the upper and the barrel on the lower. However, in this era, this is a very advanced design. In line with the principle of solving the existence or not, we did not modify this design. However, in trials, this type of pistol is still very reliable, and the size is small, with a total length of only 162 mm, which is about the same size as a mobile phone, making it very convenient to carry. However, the 1900 pistol we produced is divided into two calibers of 7.62 mm and 9 mm. The former has a range of 30 meters, which is a standard gun for officers at all levels, while the latter has a range of 45 meters, which is a police pistol."

Qiu Yahui picked up one, and it turned out to be Yingying, and smiled and said, "The officer's gun is not enough to wear any power. If it is the battalion commander and the regiment commander also wants to fight with guns, he will probably be defeated. This type of pistol is really small."

Tang Nengzhi said: "It is because this type of pistol is hidden, so it often becomes the first choice for assassins. In the old time and space, this type of pistol was famous for two assassinations. One was on October 26, 1909, when the North Korean patriot An Jonggen assassinated former Japanese Prime Minister Hiromoto Ito; the other was on August 30, 1918, when the assassination of Lenin was all this type of pistol."

Zhang Jian also took one, made a shooting move, and said, "Just sprinting to Hirobuki Ito, it should be used to use this type of pistol. I remember it. It seems that the battle was in the first battle. In the Sarajevo incident, the assassination of the Grand Duke Ferdinand and his wife seemed to be a Bronning pistol. Is it this type of pistol?"

Tang Nengzhi laughed and said, "This is not, it's just its cousin, Browning M1910 pistol, this is the assassination gun in the Sarajevo incident."

Luo Yue was not very interested in pistols, but when he heard that these two types of pistols were related to the famous assassination incident, he couldn't help but become interested, so he came over, picked up a imitation of Browning M1910 pistol, and said: "Does the assassins of this era prefer Browning pistols?"

Tang Nengzhi said: "There is no way. Browning pistols have always been fine products. The principles of mobile phones in later generations are basically the design standards of modern pistols. In addition, they are small and flexible and easy to carry. They are born to be a must-have item for murder and setting fires and traveling at home. In the old time and space, these two types of pistols were very popular in China. H1900 is called a gun brand rooster, and m1910 is called a Huakou rooster."

Zhang Jian was a gun lover in the old time and space. He liked pistols and played with the 1900 pistol, and said, "Didn't you say there are two types of pistols? And there is one type of pistol?"

Tang Nengzhi opened another wooden box and said, "This type of pistol has nothing to do with the army, it is mainly for police use." He said, taking out a * and said, "This is a copy of Colt 1873*."

Zhang Jian knew about this type of pistol, and immediately picked up one and said, "This is very famous. Old Patton has this type of pistol. It is said that every time this guy kills an enemy, he will carve a pattern on the pistol grip."

Tang Nengzhi said: "In fact, this type of pistol is mainly popular among the people. Because it was developed in the Western United States during the era of great development, this type of pistol became the first choice for cowboys in the western region. At that time, this type of pistol was quite advanced. In the 1950s, the popularity of the American Western movies also increased the popularity of this type of pistol. In fact, from the current point of view, although this type of pistol is simple and durable, it is a bit behind in design. First of all, it can only be launched by a single action, that is, after the launch, you need to use your hand to pull the * to the waiting position and then pull the trigger to achieve firing. Therefore, when using this type of pistol, you need both hands. Together, you can only achieve continuous firing by quickly pressing the * with one hand and pulling the trigger with the other hand; in addition, the filling method is complicated, that is, the rotor seat cannot be opened to load the bullet like a traditional revolver, nor can it be placed on the side of the revolver chamber for loading, and can only fill the bullets one round at a time, which is relatively low efficiency. However, our positioning of this type of pistol is for general police use. Maintaining public security is mainly because it is safe and cost-effective, and it is easy to maintain. It is enough to use it to deal with cold weapons. If it is really a criminal policeman, a special policeman, or the like, then use a large-caliber Type 1900 pistol or a Type 96 pistol."

Since it is a police type, most people are not interested. Luo Yue said: "How is the research on machine guns? Is it still only Maxim?"
