After the widespread use of assault tactics on the front line, the Qi army is regaining lost ground little by little. Tu Sui of the Qin Army Observation Group felt that the main reason why the Qi army was able to recover the lost territory was that the morale of the Yan army was low and it could not form combat effectiveness. Regarding the use of the pistol, Tu Sui one-sidedly believed that this was a manifestation of Yan Jun's incompetence in finding an excuse to cover up. It was precisely this biased view that prevented the semi-automatic pistol from being recognized in time in the Qin army.

On the contrary, the Qi State was extremely fond of this weapon, because this pistol was far more powerful than the revolver, and the rapid fire feeling of its burst fire made the Qi soldiers feel happy. As long as the trigger is pulled in succession and quickly, the bullets are shot out like raindrops.

In order to achieve the effect of continuous shooting, the Qi soldiers also figured out a method of changing the magazine for continuous shooting, which is very similar to the current semi-automatic weapon to change the magazine. It's a bit magical, that is, when there is still one bullet in the chamber, you will withdraw from the magazine and quickly replace it with another one. This achieved the effect of continuous shooting. However, this type of shooting requires the soldier to abandon the short sword used in combat. It's well worth using, though.

This pistol was soon used on a large scale in Qi State, and in the whole month of July, Qi State purchased more than 7,000 pistols at one time, and the subsequent orders were also very large. However, the smuggling price of this kind of pistol is relatively expensive, and the price after arriving in Qi country has reached one hundred and a half taels, and fifty rounds of ammunition are sent. Such a high price forced Qi Guo to study the disassembly and imitation of this pistol.

And the weapon imitation workshop of Qi State also began to prevail. The bullet due to the use of a special charge, without a certain chemical base and industrial machine tool equipment could not complete the imitation, while against the pistol. In particular, this semi-automatic pistol, which is commonly equipped, can be copied in large quantities.

The pistol commonly equipped by Qi is the pistol 17 pistol shot by the Wenyang Arsenal, this pistol has a 150-degree grip, which is very suitable for ergonomics, and the body of the gun adopts stamping technology, which is very strong and durable. Moreover, there are few parts, only fifty-three after disassembly.

A mechanical sight for a gun consisting of a flat-headed, thick-bladed front sight and a square or rectangular notched gate. This type of sight is rarely used, as it is used at close range, and as long as you keep your arm straight when you use it, you can basically rely on your sense to shoot your opponent. And it's very accurate.

The gun uses a single-action firing mechanism and can only fire single shots. Its firing and firing mechanism is composed of firing pin, firing pin spring, hammer, hammer spring, blocking iron, blocking iron spring, single shot rod, trigger connecting rod, and trigger. Among them, the single rod is a rod-shaped piece, which is assembled with the blocking iron, which can not only do linear motion up and down, but also rotate around the axis with the blocking iron. It has a lug in its lower part. After the sleeve is reinserted into place, the single shot rod moves up into the notch of the sleeve, and the lugs are meshed with the arrester, at which point if the grip safety is pressed and the trigger is pulled, the hammer in the standby position can be released. If the sleeve is not re-entered into place, the single shot rod is depressed by the sleeve, and the lugs are below the stopper and disengaged from the stopper, and the hammer cannot be released even if the grip safety is pressed and the trigger is pulled. In addition to the above-mentioned functions, the single shot rod can also avoid pulling the trigger once to form a burst. It is precisely the firing and firing mechanism that the insurance mechanism can realize the insurance of the whole gun.

The structure is simple and easy to use, and it is precisely this advantage that allows this gun to be copied on a large scale. Qin did not restrict the export of steel, on the contrary, in order to earn more money, some special steel recklessly entered the market of the six countries. From a dotted molybdenum steel plate to a seamless chrome tube. Except for the lack of some machine tools and equipment, the Qin State exported almost all of these materials that could make guns to the Six Kingdoms.

Instead of spending a lot of money on a finished product. It is better to purchase raw materials for imitation. This was the original idea of the Qi people. They buy different materials. Skilled craftsmen rely on the feel of a pair of hands to imitate disassembled pistol parts with very primitive-looking tools such as files, hammers, and grinding wheels.

"Be careful not to scratch through." A craftsman instructed his apprentice. In order to manufacture the sleeve of the pistol, the craftsmen of Qi used a grinding wheel to grind out a track, and then used a chisel and a carving knife to scrape, and finally used frosting to polish and polish, so that it initially had the effect of stamping parts of the Qin State, and the 17-type pistol made by the Qin State initially used machining and cutting processes, and later improved to the stamping process in order to reduce production costs, and the material was changed from the original tungsten steel to ordinary high-quality steel. The barrel is refrigerated, making the barrel more durable.

Among the steel exported to the six countries, there are precisely such frozen steel pipes, and the caliber is the same as the point 50 caliber of the 17 type. In this way, an identical pistol can be made by completely hand-copying.

However, some materials Qi Guo still can't do. For example, the use of plastic non-slip grips, Qi Guo could not get such a material. They still don't understand that there is such material in the world that can be made. However, a simple non-slip grip is not difficult for Qi craftsmen. The craftsmen used another material, thin wood or bamboo.

After spending a day and a half copying the first Type 17 pistol. The craftsmen of the Qi Kingdom began to experiment with mass production. The Qin state used machinery to make a pistol in one man-hour. However, it takes a day and a half for the craftsmen of the Qi Kingdom. This is obviously not yet up to the scale of mass production.

Qi craftsmen began to recruit a large number of apprentices into the workshop to process the pistol parts, which were then tested for qualification and finally assembled. Standardized production is not new in Qi country. At the time when the female workers were sewing the airship airbags, they were already producing in units of uniform length.

Qi craftsmen also experimented with Qin's Type 17 pistol. Mainly in terms of magazines. The eight-round magazine is a little inadequate for short-range shooting in the trenches. Therefore, the craftsmen of Qi simply extended the length of the pistol magazine, and after the extension, the magazine was changed from the original eight rounds to a thirteen-round magazine. However, the reloading mode of the magazine is still a single-row mode, not a double-row mode, which can greatly shorten the length of the magazine, so that the pistol in the user's hand does not appear so abrupt.

In any case, the Qi State is trying to tap into their potential war resources by all means. The imitation of the pistol is one of the potentials. They can use these imitation processes to develop their own weapons manufacturing industry, which is very important to Qi State.
