"Theodore. Mr. Burgman, I will give you a chance now, if you can convince my subordinate to use your machine guns, then well, the Bavarian Legion will purchase all light machine guns in the next 3 years from your company! With that, the prince turned and walked away, leaving time to the fledgling firearm designer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hello, Dear Major Karl, I would like to introduce you to a new light machine gun that can meet almost all your needs, such as continuous firepower, low weight, more comfortable shooting, and high stability." With that, the designer opened a snatch box, and then easily placed a machine gun with a unique shape in front of Lieutenant Colonel Karl. "You can take a look at this machine gun first."

Karl was intrigued by the slender machine gun, which gave it a lean and capable look, and he tried to pick it up, "Oh my God, this machine gun is so light!" NO MORE THAN 15KG INCLUDING THE BIPOD, RIGHT? ”

"That's right, this machine gun weighs only 12.9KG without ammunition and so on!" Theodore. Burgman said proudly.

"But I wonder how this machine gun is cooled? It doesn't have a cooling bucket, and it doesn't have an exhaust bucket, and I estimate that this machine gun will overheat after firing up to 300 rounds. Lieutenant Colonel Karl, who was picky, asked curiously after putting down the machine gun in his hand.

"It's simple, just change the barrel, you see here." Burgman opens the heat pipe and the bayonet at the machine gun receiver. Then the whole barrel was removed, and the other hand grabbed the grip on the barrel of the machine gun, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the inner barrel fell off, and then he quickly pressed the other barrel. Reconnect to the machine gun receiver in less than 30 seconds!

"That's it?" Lieutenant Colonel Carr said with some surprise.

"Of course, that's it, you just need to have two spare barrels, and you don't need to bring any cooling water." Bergman smirked.

"Can I take a look at the receiver part of this machine gun?" Lieutenant Colonel Carr was very satisfied with this, he did not expect that the cooling problem that had plagued the machine gun would be easily solved.

"The principle of the receiver of this machine gun is similar to that of the experimental light machine gun just now, it is the principle of gas conduction, not the short recoil of the barrel like the MG98 machine gun. The biggest improvement over the original is that the receiver is made unenclosed, and at the same time, the gap is large, and it is not easy to get stuck in dust. ”

"The real classic of this machine gun is that it can quickly change the barrel and cool it down by constantly changing the barrel. This machine gun may not be as powerful as a water-cooled machine gun with enough cooling water, but it's definitely your best friend in a battlefield environment! Burgman said.

In the distance, looking at the two people who were talking hotly, the prince was depressed in his heart, because the core principle of this machine gun was proposed by him, but it was this Bergman and his team who first completed the experiment, and the latter applied for a patent ...... first.

In all fairness, the principle of the Lewis machine gun was advanced, as evidenced by the later use of the freestyle automatic principle on the FG42 paratrooper machine gun and the M60 universal machine gun. Historically, this name was Theodore. Bergman's men came up with an air-cooled MG15NA light machine gun, a very good gun, except that the barrel could not be changed quickly, there were no problems, and it was because of his name that the prince invited him to Bavaria in the first place.

However, after seeing the Bavarian pirated Lewis machine gun, this guy found that the automatic principle of this machine gun is even better than the short recoil principle of the barrel he made! So he decisively threw what he got out into the trash, and then redesigned a machine gun with reference to the receiver of the Lewis machine gun, and at the same time combined with the prince's request to be able to quickly change the barrel. This is the MG1900 light machine gun that just came out.

In addition to the maximum rate of fire of this new machine gun is only 800 rounds per minute, theoretically, both the design of the receiver and the theory of quick barrel replacement are actually very similar to the MG34 that appeared in World War 2 in history. Although there is still a gap in performance, it is enough to defy the existence of all other weapons in this era. Not to mention the Madsen machine gun that just appeared this year, even the Bren machine gun that is similar to it is far inferior to this machine gun in terms of design!

"That's what I need!" When Theodore. After Bergman pulled out a 75-round drum, Lieutenant Colonel Karl was finally conquered by this machine gun, the lightweight body, the barrel that can be changed quickly, and the drum that can provide enough sustained firepower, when it all comes to one weapon, what is there not to be satisfied with?

Both the prince and Lieutenant Colonel Karl had very high requirements for fire continuity, and they insisted that if the ammunition storage system of a machine gun could not carry more than 30 rounds, it would never work! Therefore, the prince demanded that the machine gun could only choose two ways to feed ammunition, one was the chain, the other was the drum, and the magazine was absolutely forbidden!

Someone may have said that the British Bren machine gun was not just a 30-round magazine? The Czechs' ZB26 machine guns used 20 rounds, while the Americans' BAR machine guns also used 20 rounds. The FG42 also uses a 20-round side magazine.

How do you say this? The British themselves had a problem with the fire continuity of the Bren machine gun, so they once equipped the Bren machine gun with a 100-round drum to improve the fire continuity. ZB26 is actually used more in the Chinese battlefield, in the face of the Japanese crooked handle machine gun that is more coffee table than ZB26, ZB26 is naturally a good thing!

As for the BAR machine gun and FG42, in fact, this machine gun can be seen as an automatic rifle to some extent. It was with the advance of the infantry, and the automatic fire of the Americans standing on the stake to shoot relied on the Browning M1919. Besides, this kind of local tyrant in the United States is comparable to you? The U.S. Marine Corps has 3 BARs with 13 combat squads, and the Army only has 1 BAR, but there are still a lot of Garands! And the BAR machine gun also has a magazine of 40 rounds! As for the FG42 machine gun? It is said that this machine gun is a ...... that can be loaded with a chain.

"I think it can even replace a heavy machine gun, just remove the bipod and replace it with a tripod! If I could, I'd like to remove all MG98 machine guns and replace them with brand new MG1900 machine guns! Lieutenant Colonel Carr said excitedly. Of course, he just said that, in fact, although this machine gun is easy to use, it has not yet been mass-produced, at most it is a few test products, if nothing else, most of the machine guns he uses should still be pirated Lewis, this machine gun is at most as an experimental product, on the battlefield.

"Remember, if you choose this machine gun, you have to make sure that these guns don't fall into the hands of your opponents! The gun is there, and the gun is not there! When Lieutenant Colonel Karl came up and said that he needed this machine gun, the prince said.
