Knock knock knock......

When there was a knock on the door, Weiss was looking through his photo album, which was full of black and white photographs, some of which were so blurry that they were hard to identify.

He didn't lock the door, so he just said, "Please come in!" ”

Then, there was a jumble of noises outside the door, sounding like something had fallen to the ground.

Weiss hurriedly put down the album and walked to open the door. Outside the door, a round-faced, short, glasses-wearing middle-aged man was squatting to pick up something, and he also carried a stack of materials rolled into tubes or books in his arms.

Seeing Wei Si come out, the middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Young master! I'm sorry, I wanted to open the door, but I accidentally dropped the drawing on the floor, I'm sorry! ”

Wei Silen paused: "Jose? ”

"Ah, young master, I'm really sorry, because I don't know which models of drawings you want, so I followed the Lord's instructions and brought all the firearm drawings in the data room, uh...... Exactly, there are some arquebuses that you haven't brought, if you need them......" The middle-aged man explained quickly, as if he would be kicked downstairs by the young master if he slowed down.

"It's okay, these should be enough, bring it in first!"

Weiss replied like this, but in his heart he thought: Jose is not the name of the "black dress"! Yes, the "black dress" is a housekeeper, and most of the affairs of life are managed, and the old lord should arrange it, and he should also arrange a technical expert to assist him in research and development.

After packing up the materials that had fallen on the floor, the middle-aged man walked into the room as if he had been pardoned, and after asking Weiss for advice, he carefully placed the drawings on his desk.

"Do you have anything else to attend to right now? I mean...... Something more urgent. Weiss asked.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment: "No, young master, I don't have anything urgent now, if you have anything to order, please just give it." ”

"I'm not good at firearms, you know. There were some special things that happened on this trip, and I think it should have inspired us to bid on sniper rifles. Weiss simply explained, "If you don't mind, how about staying and analyzing with me?" ”

After hearing this, the middle-aged man looked surprised, and his mouth was wide enough to stuff an egg.

Seeing the other party's expression, Weiss couldn't help but wonder: according to what the cheap mother said, although "he" has no intention of developing firearms, he can be regarded as a young man with hobbies and willing to use his brains, why does everyone here treat "himself" as a good-for-nothing gentleman?

That's it, now is not the time to ponder this. Weiss asked the round-faced middle-aged man to pick out the drawings of the latest stereotyped firearms and spread them out under the lamp. By the way, the kerosene gas lamps used in the castle are brighter than the traditional wick kerosene lamps, and five or six can illuminate the hall, and two in the bedroom are more than enough for work and life.

According to the classification of structure, these firearms are nothing more than three types: single-loading rifles, single-barreled shotguns, double-barreled shotguns, and even magazine-type bolt-action rifles. However, the magazine rifle and the single-loading rifle are both firing pin rifles, and the difference is only in the structural design, and there are no technical difficulties.

Weiss saw the word "Warrior" written in the upper corner of one of the drawings and asked, "This is the Warrior rifle we made in a hurry?" ”

"To be precise, it is the original version of the 'Warrior Rifle', according to our usual practice, the groove is not marked on the drawing, so the gun of the Clumber-Haysen family cannot be imitated by outsiders." The round-faced middle-aged man replied proudly.

The advantage of a firearm manufactured in a family-run workshop is that it is well-made, but the disadvantage is that it is not convenient for mass production, and is only suitable for the entertainment and collection of the upper class, while a successful sniper rifle must be able to simplify the structure, reduce costs, increase production, and be easy to promote.

If the bid is successful, the Clumber-Haysen family's gun production model is bound to undergo a reform!

In addition to being a single-mounted rifle, this commemorative version of the "Warrior Rifle" is just as thick, large, and stupid as the "Grumman Burning Stick" that Weiss had previously come into contact with. The inner diameter of the barrel marked on the drawing is 3.2PIR, in order to determine the relationship between this measurement and the general size of the earth, Weiss asked Jose to find a measuring tape, and after several comparisons and estimates, it was basically determined that 1PIR is equivalent to 5 mm, that is, the caliber of this rifle is 16 mm, which is already the specification of an anti-materiel sniper rifle on the earth!

"Our military rifles, as well as the Norman ones, seem to be of this caliber?" Weiss asked tentatively.

The round-faced middle-aged man patiently explained: "In the era of arquebuses and flintlock pistols, the caliber of rifles in various countries was generally 4-5PI, and after entering the era of rear-loading rifles, it gradually shrank to 3-3.5PIR. The standard rifle caliber for the Ulster Free Federation Army was 3.2PIR, 3PIR for the Norman Empire, and 3.5PIR for the Kingdom of Wessex. ”

"Got it!" Weiss touched his lips, "The Norman Empire's standard rifle has the smallest caliber, followed by us, and the Kingdom of Wessex is the largest. What is the current state of the Kingdom of Wessex? ”

The round-faced middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "Among the three great powers today, Wessex has the smallest population and the largest area, and the temperature in the hinterland of the kingdom is below freezing all year round, and only the fiercest Wessec people can live in that environment, in order to hunt snow beasts and mammoths as vicious as the snow beasts, and to defend against the expanding Norman Empire, they must use as powerful guns as possible." ”

"Uh-huh......" Weiss picked up the drawing of the "Warrior rifle" and compared it to another single-mount rifle drawing labeled "Clumber-Haysen 90", going back and forth on the details. The Battle of the Snow Cabin, the Norman Empire's sniper rifle and the Ulster Free Federation's standard rifle left a very deep impression on him, they invariably used 4 magazines, and the continuity of combat firepower was naturally much better than that of single-loading rifles, and from the perspective of the history of the development of earth weapons, excellent semi-automatic and automatic rifles, the combat effectiveness will be multiplied on the basis of the magazine-type bolt-action rifles.

Due to the complexity of automatic rifles, Weiss preferred to use a semi-automatic structure in the military's sniper rifle bidding scheme, and considering that there was not much time left, if the development of a semi-automatic rifle was unsuccessful, it could also settle for the second best thing and opt for a magazine-type bolt-action structure.

Thinking of this, he had an idea: "By the way, the new gun we designed for this sniper rifle bidding should also have technical drawings, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, but it's just ......" The round-faced middle-aged man had a difficult face, and he stopped talking.

"The sample gun doesn't work very well?" Weiss speculated.

The other party nodded as expected.

"Is it a single-loading rifle, or a magazine rifle with new technology?" Weiss asked.

The round-faced middle-aged man obviously didn't expect the young master, who had always been unprofessional, to ask such a question, he hesitated for a moment and replied: "We imitated Grumman's standard rifle, using a four-round built-in magazine and bolt design, but the sample gun produced has many problems, and it can't be used to participate in the bidding at all." ”

After hearing this, Weiss's eyes lit up: "It's okay, go and bring me all the drawings and sample guns." ”

"Now?"

"The drawings and sample guns are in the gun shop?"

"Yes, and it's in a safe, and the keys are kept in the hands of three people."

"Well......" Weiss thought for a moment, "can you sketch it?" It doesn't need to be very precise, just a clear picture of the structure. ”

The other party hurriedly replied: "No problem, no problem!" I borrowed a set of measuring tapes from Morton, and I could draw sketches of all three sets of plans with a pen and a few pieces of paper, but it would take some time...... Well, half an hour is about the same. ”

Weiss had a pen on his desk, and when he couldn't find a blank drawing paper for a while, he made do with the beautiful letter paper he found in the drawer.

Giving up his desk to the round-faced middle-aged man, he got up and paced around the room, pondering the details of the construction of the firearm. After a while, the door slammed open.

This special way to open the door, who else can there be besides the "Q version of Guo Biting"?
