It is impossible to verify who first summarized and invented this statement, and it is likely that it was formed after a long period of oral transmission, continuous comparison, debate and combing, and should belong to the wisdom of the group.

In addition to these famous guns, the Chinese people basically have other names for other pistols, such as unicorn, three pieces of iron, five seals, six tones, seven stars, ten sons, chicken legs, Wang Ba box, bull's eye and so on, but because compared with the previous few guns, both the number and performance are far inferior, so the spread is not so wide.

After the emergence of the Republic of China, the saying of "one gun, two horses and three flowers, four snakes and five dogs open their mouths and kicks" has been widely recognized, and gradually spread in the 1930s, and by the 1940s, everyone who played guns was known, which was equivalent to the "ranking" of the pistol industry in the Republic of China.

In the North, pistols other than "box guns" and "revolvers" are generally referred to as "masturbations". This "one gun, two horses...... is actually a ranking that only belongs to the "masturbation" world, and the "box gun", which was also very famous in the old era, is naturally not on this list because it does not belong to this category.

Why is it called a "masturbator"? It is because it is not only significantly different from the "box gun" and "revolver" in appearance, and can quickly dispense the gun, but also has a very different action of loading the bullet.

Chinese people have always had a preference for the word "masturbation", and they are still skewering and silking...... This type of pistol has a sleeve in the design structure, and the action of pulling the bullet on the sleeve prefers to be "masturbation" in the eyes of Chinese people.

As for the pistol in southern Japan that everyone is impressed by, that is, the Wangba box, it is not called the Wangba pistol, because there is no "masturbation" action on the bullet, but the re-entry button is pulled behind the gun.

In the South, pistols are generally not called "pistols", but "curved rulers", which is a pictographic metaphor for the curved rulers used by carpenters.

For example, there is a kind of "aviation ruler", which refers to the Colt M1911 pistol worn by Citigroup pilots in Yunnan during the Anti-Japanese War.

The so-called "one shot" refers to the Belgian FN Browning M1900 7.65mm pistol.

It is the world's first modern semi-automatic pistol with a free bolt sleeve type, and it is the originator of the mountain. The gun has a small pistol in the pattern above the grip guard or on the left side of the sleeve base, so the Chinese people call it "gun brand picker".

In terms of time, the gun brand is the earliest imported semi-automatic pistol in the old era, and there is no one.

Because of the early import time, so the number of imports is relatively large, but also because the gun structure is simple, there are not many parts, there are a large number of imitations in China, but because the gun was designed earlier, the performance is not the best, especially easy to fire, the warlord Jing Yuexiu in northern Shaanxi is because of his gun brand off the stone and died.

But the gun plate has high accuracy, the gun body is flat, easy to carry, and its shape also has a significant feature is that the barrel is below the re-entry spring, and the gun seems to have two barrels at a glance, which is quite deterrent.

Therefore, the gun brand is quite influential in China, leading the trend of the gun industry, when talking about pistols, must mention the gun brand gun, the gun brand is the gun of many senior officers and celebrities, known as "the first gun of the Republic of China".

Also known as pocket pistols and assassination pistols, gun brand pistols have assassinated many big shots. For example, in 1909, when the Korean patriot Ahn Chong-geun assassinated former Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi in Harbin, he used a gun and a brand, and in 1918, the female assassin who assassinated Lenin also used a gun and a brand.

Why did this gun become an assassin's gun? Mainly because of the large number of such guns.

The Continental is the M1903, and the Sanhuakou is another pistol designed by Browning, which has a beautiful "knurling" on the muzzle cap, which is to rotate the muzzle cap when disassembling the gun so that the hand does not slip. "Huakou" is a very distinctive and typical feature of the appearance of the gun, so it is called "Huakou Picker" by the Chinese.

Both the gun and the horse are military pistols, and the flowery pistol is designed by Browning for the police.

The requirements for police pistols are first of all to draw the gun quickly, because the environment in which the poor person uses the pistol is different from the soldier, and the poor person uses the gun is often a close emergency, and the soldier is relatively far away on the battlefield.

Therefore, the mouth of the flower mouth is designed without a raised crosshair, a door and a hammer, and the front end of the gun body is cone-shaped, which avoids the hook scraping phenomenon that may occur when the general pistol is drawn, so at that time, some masters who are good at using fast robbery, in order to shoot fast, even file the front sight of the box gun, which is the reason.

Secondly, the police pistol requires the bullet braking effect to be good, that is, not to have too strong penetrating power to prevent accidental injury to innocent people, which is the opposite of military pistols, so the flower mouth pistol adopts the 7.65 mm pistol bullet and the free bolt principle, and the power is moderate.

Finally, the safety requirements of police pistols are higher, after all, there are fewer opportunities for police to use guns and more time to carry guns, so the insurance design of the flower mouth is very good, and it is a pistol with high security.

The design of the flower mouth pistol fully meets the requirements of the police pistol, and it has been very popular as soon as it came out, and has become a police pistol in many countries around the world.

On this basis, Browning launched the M1910 military gun on the basis of the M1922, the structure has not changed, the shape has been increased, and the 9 mm bullet has been changed, and the loading capacity has reached 9 rounds.

The flower mouth puff is small and exquisite, easy to carry, the recoil is small, and the gunshot is not loud, which is in line with the ergonomic mechanics of the Orientals, so the number of imported M1910 flower mouth pistols in the old era is very large, and it is the leader in the police pistol of the Republic of China, also known as "the first gun of the police in the Republic of China".

In 1914, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, the crown prince of Austria, which triggered the outbreak of World War I, was used by the assassin Princip.

The "Four Snakes" is a Sauer M1913/1938 7.65mm pocket pistol designed and manufactured by the German Sauer Thorne Company. The trademark of Sauer Thorne Company is composed of two letters "S" stacked together like a snake, and the Chinese people call it "Snake Brand Picker".

The production of the Snake brand is not very high, but it is a very distinctive pistol, and the design concept of the Sauer company for the pocket pistol is the smallest shape with the strongest firepower. Therefore, the snake brand is small in appearance, the gun is only 14.5 cm long, not as long as the palm of an adult, and the gun weighs only 0.6 kg.
