After listening to Tang Nengzhi's introduction, everyone also picked up the stereotyped Type 01 rifle and tried the feel, some people also tried to shoot two shots, and some people whispered to discuss the pros and cons of the gains and losses after the Type 01 stepping.

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

Tang Nengzhi said: "Now more than 2,000 have been produced, the next step will be in some troops to try, if through the trial, full start of production, under normal circumstances can produce about 2,000 a month, and if you step up production, then it can reach 3,000." ”

Luo Yue nodded, in fact, production capacity is also one of the criteria for measuring the quality of rifles, so an excellent rifle should be able to facilitate large-scale characteristics, if the production capacity of Qingdao Arsenal can reach 2,000 per month, it is still considerable, Bi Jing East China Government will not only have this one arsenal, and after the completion of other arsenals, the People's Army should be able to achieve a comprehensive rearmament within two years.

At this time, Cheng Yajie, the commander of the cavalry regiment, hit a *, 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 the rifles of this era should have a carbine type with a shortened size, which is used by cavalry, artillery, machine gun deputy, signal corps and non-main combat troops." ”

Tang Nengzhi said with a smile: "Of course there are, 12 sample guns have been produced, the total length is only 960 mm, the barrel is 550 mm long, without a bayonet, the other structures are exactly the same, and further tests are underway, and it is estimated that the preliminary prototype will be finalized next month." ”

Cheng Yajie nodded and said: "That's good, but cavalry is different from infantry, and it also needs an automatic rapid-fire weapon that can be at close range, if there is no other choice, the Mauser 96 pistol can also make do, at least the power of the Mauser 96 pistol within 60 meters is still okay, is the arsenal still producing Mauser 96 pistols." ”

Tang Nengzhi said with a smile: "How can such a typical pistol not be produced, isn't this it?" As he spoke, he beckoned someone to take out a box and open it, only to see that there were 12 Mauser 96 pistols and accessories inside.

Tang Nengzhi picked one up and said: "This type of pistol is officially named the Type 96 pistol, but it is imitated according to the Mauser 1932 type, in the old time and space, this is the last production model of the Mauser 96, and it is mainly made for the Chinese market at that time, there are only two improvements, one is to improve the shooting mechanism, so that it can be fired continuously, and the other is equipped with a long magazine of 20 rounds, so the wooden magazine is combined into the gun body as * , which can be used as a submachine pistol for shoulder shooting, and we have changed these two points, mainly for cavalry use. In addition, the caliber is also 7.62 mm, which can be used with rifle cartridges in case of emergency, of course, if the cavalry uses it, the magazine must be combined before the battle. ”

Cheng Yajie listened, nodded again and again, and said, "That's good, that's good." Although the cavalry is also a regimental establishment, it is not actually a full force, because the cavalry is based on the "four-four" system, and now the cavalry regiment actually has only three cavalry battalions. And watching other troops destroy cities and villages on the battlefield and make contributions, although the cavalry also participated in several battles, they were basically responsible for reconnaissance, patrolling, news transmission and other tasks, although this is also the essential task of the cavalry, but did not officially participate in the war, for an army, this is a rather embarrassing thing, so Cheng Yajie also hopes that there is an opportunity for the cavalry to try their skills on the battlefield, and before that, of course, the cavalry must be equipped first.

At this time, Luo Yue said: "I think that the infantry should also be equipped with a certain number of Type 96 pistols, because the infantry in this era has a great chance of close combat, equipped with a certain rapid-fire weapon, and can have a certain advantage in white-knuckle combat." A squad should be equipped with at least two, carried by the squad leader and deputy squad leader, and two or three magazines are enough for no more bullets, and when fighting in white-knuckle combat, the squad leader and deputy squad leader can provide close fire support for other fighters under the cover of other fighters. ”

Qiu Yahui, another regiment commander, also nodded and said, "Yes, it would be better if there was *, but for now, the Type 96 pistol is the best choice." Moreover, non-main combat units such as artillery and signal corps can also be equipped with this type of pistol, which is also used for self-defense anyway, and the power of the Type 96 pistol is enough. ”

Another regiment commander Zhang Jian said: "By the way, is there a new product for the officer's pistol, the Type 96 pistol is good as a supplement to the firepower of white-knuckle combat, but as a battalion and regiment-level officer's gun, it is a little too powerful, and it is also inconvenient to carry." ”

Tang Nengzhi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, of course." As he spoke, he asked someone to bring a few boxes to open them, took out one from one of them, and said: "During this time, we have imitated a total of two types of pistols, this model is an imitation of the Browning H1900 pistol, and our official name is the 1900 type pistol. ”

"The Browning M1900 pistol was the world's first automatic pistol, and it was designed with a sleeve structure, but due to its earlier design, the sleeve structure was different from that of later automatic pistols. Modern automatic pistols basically use a sleeve structure with the barrel on the top and the recoiling spring on the bottom, while the M1900 is the opposite, using the structure of the recoiling spring on the top and the barrel on the bottom, but in this era, this is a very advanced design. In line with the principle of solving the problem first, we did not modify the design. However, from the trial point of view, the reliability of this pistol is still very high, and the size is small, the total length is only 162 mm, which is about the same size as a mobile phone, and it is very easy to carry. However, our Type 1900 pistols are divided into 7.62 mm and 9 mm calibers, the former has a range of 30 meters and is used as a standard pistol for officers at all levels, while the latter has a range of 45 meters and is used as a police pistol. ”

Qiu Yahui picked up one, and sure enough, Ying Ying shook it, and said with a smile: "The officer's gun is so powerful that it doesn't need any power, if the battalion commander and regiment commander also have to fight with a gun, it is estimated that the defeat is already decided, this type of pistol is really small." ”

Tang Nengzhi said: "It is because this type of pistol is concealed, so it often becomes the first choice of assassins, in the old time and space, this type of pistol is famous for two assassinations, one is on October 26, 1909, the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi by the Korean Zhishi An Shigeun, and the other is on August 30, 1918, the assassination of Lenin, both of which are this type of pistol. ”

Zhang Jian also took one, made a shooting motion, and said, "Just sprint to kill Ito Hirobumi, you should also use this type of pistol." I remember it, it seems that in the First World War*, in the Sarajevo incident, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife seems to be a Browning pistol, is this the type?. ”

Tang Nengzhi laughed and said: "No, it's just its cousin, the Browning M1910 pistol, which is the assassination gun used in the Sarajevo incident." ”

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

Tang Nengzhi said: "There is no way, Browning pistols have always been high-quality products, and the principle of mobile phones in later generations is basically the design standard of modern pistols, plus it is small and flexible, easy to carry, and it is a necessary item for murder and arson, home travel." In the old time and space, these two types of pistols were very popular in China, the H1900 was called the gun brand and the M1910 was called the Huakou fan. ”

Zhang Jian was a firearms enthusiast in the old time and space, and because he liked pistols, he played with a 1900-style pistol, and said: "Didn't you say that there are two types of pistols?

Tang Nengzhi opened another wooden box and said: "This type of pistol has nothing to do with the army, it is mainly for the police. As he spoke, he took out a * and said, "This is an imitation of the Colt Model 1873*." ”

Zhang Jian knew about this type of pistol, and immediately picked up one, and said: "This is very famous, Old Patton has a pistol of this type, 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 is in the era of the development of the western United States, this type of pistol has become the preferred reserve gun for western cowboys, at that time this type of pistol is still quite advanced, in the 5th and 60s, the American western movie is a big hit, but also enhance the popularity of this type of pistol." In fact, from the current point of view, although this type of pistol is simple in structure and durable, it has fallen behind in design, first of all, it can only be fired with single action, that is, after firing, you need to pull the * to the position by hand, and then pull the trigger to achieve firing. Therefore, when using this type of pistol, it is necessary to put both hands together and quickly press * with one hand* In addition, the loading method is complex, that is, the runner seat can not be opened for loading like the traditional revolver, nor can it be like the modern revolver to swing out the side of the revolver for reloading, only one round of reloading, the efficiency is low, but our positioning of this type of pistol is the general police, to maintain law and order, mainly because it is safe and possible, and the cost is low, the maintenance is convenient, used to deal with cold weapons, it is enough, if it is really a criminal police, SWAT and 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 very interested, Luo Yue said: "How is the research situation of the machine gun, is it still only Makqin?"

Tang Nengzhi ordered people to put away these types of pistols, and said: " Yes, now the arsenal can only produce Maxim machine guns, light machine guns are under development, mainly because the material problem is difficult to solve, because it is necessary to reduce weight, but also to ensure safety and reliability, after all, although the world's first light machine gun, Denmark produced Madsen 1902 machine gun has appeared, but the reliability is not enough, and the structure is complex, the production cost is higher, by its requirements for materials are higher, after all, the mass popularization of light machine guns, but also before and after World War I, and the current materials compared with 10 years later, there is still a considerable gap。 Therefore, we decided to conquer the general-purpose machine gun first, after all, the general-purpose machine gun does not require so much weight. ”
