The persuasion work is actually quite simple, Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai are not fools, and after a comprehensive comparison, they found the benefits of the Bergman machine gun, and they couldn't help but be persuaded by Gao Hongsheng.

After the most important weapon is selected, the selection of other weapons is much simpler, and the choice of bolt-action rifles is even simpler, and Gao Hongsheng doesn't care about getting it out in advance.

It's just that he still has a bit of a headache to deal with the famous Mauser company, but he doesn't know if this later generation of 98K rifles can enter their eyes, and there is really a big difference between the G98 and 98K that they are about to launch.

The length of the 98K rifle can only be regarded as a riding gun in this era, or a carbine, the length is 15 centimeters shorter than the 1.25 meters of the G98, only one meter and one meter long, the pull handle is changed from a straight type to a downward curved type, a double-row fixed magazine is used to feed ammunition, an empty magazine is added, and the strap ring is changed to the side of the gun body to facilitate walking and other small changes.

The change in length is very important, the 98K rifle changed from 1.25 meters to 1.1 meter in order to adapt to the needs of trench warfare, especially after the popularization of machine guns, the role of rifles has been reduced a lot, most of them are used to protect machine gun fire, in the trench warfare with trenches, the shortened length of 98K compared to G98, in the narrow trenches can be used by soldiers more flexibly.

But on the battlefield without trenches, 98K is quite weak compared to the G98 with a difference of more than ten centimeters, you must know that in white-knuckle warfare, one inch is long and one is strong, and the main function of the rifle in white-knuckle combat is to assassinate, and there is a considerable advantage in being more than ten centimeters long.

At present, trench warfare is still a new topic for the whole of Europe, and no one has specifically studied the impact of the criss-crossing trenches on the use of weapons and equipment during the First World War, so most rifles are more than 1.2 meters long, and rifles below 1.1 meter are called carbines or cavalry guns.

At the same time, after the adoption of the M1886 Lebell rifle in France (this was the first military weapon with a small-caliber bullet of smokeless gunpowder, well!). The French were also quite awesome, and the bad thing was that the French soldiers who defected to Germany sold them to the Germans for 20,000 marks as soon as they equipped their troops, and as a result, there was the appearance of the Mauser rifle 1888, and it seems that defectors are a fatal problem in that country. All countries have carried out changes in the armament of small arms, among which the Mosin Nagant rifle in Russia, the Lee Enfield rifle in Britain, the Manlisha rifle in Austria-Hungary, the Mauser rifle in Germany, the Schmidt Rubin rifle in Switzerland, and so on.

Among them, the British Lee-Enfield rifle surpassed the German 98k in all aspects, but one of the big problems was the problem of ammunition, the British used 7*56mmr rifle cartridges, and the 98k used 92*57mm rifle cartridges.

For the sake of the versatility of ammunition, Gao Hongsheng had to sacrifice the performance of the rifle to control the machine gun, otherwise the machine gun uses one ammunition and the rifle uses another ammunition, which is simply a logistical disaster.

The Russian Mosin Nagant rifle, that is, the water lianzhu was also a pretty good rifle at that time, compared to other contemporaneous similar military rifles, its design is rough and outdated, and the overall operating feeling is clumsier than other rifles, but the advantage is that it is easy to produce and use, simple and reliable, which is extremely important compared to the Russian ** team with a weak industrial base and low soldier education program, especially in harsh war times, it is necessary to increase the production of weapons to meet the needs of the front line, And a large number of supplementary soldiers are often undertrained, which simply means that a short period of training can be used.

Gao Hongsheng does not use the Mosin Nagant rifle is also a problem that cannot be produced, in a year this weapon has been mass-produced and equipped with Russian troops, he must face the problem of patents to produce this rifle, and he does not need to produce it in China, and at the same time, if there is a conflict with Lao Maozi in the future, then the problem of ammunition will not be easy to solve.

As for Germany, it is much better, although it has occupied Qingdao, but the Germans are too far away from China, it is really heartfelt but powerless, and in Asia it is still the British who have the final say, because of the policy of distant friendship and close attack, the Germans are a little more friendly than the British.

However, this is not a matter of certainty, but for the time being, he would rather give the new weapons to the Germans than to Britain, France, and the United States, as for Russia, it is simply a close neighbor, so there is no need for him to choose such a simple and crude weapon to arm his small army.

Of course, the Mauser rifle also has such and such problems, such as the caliber of the ammunition is a bit large, the recoil is relatively high, the weight is also a little sunk, the number of ammunition in the magazine is insufficient, and the result of too high product accuracy is to pay attention to maintenance, and it is not suitable for the body type of Asians, etc.

Gao Hongsheng still chose the Mauser 98K to equip the infantry of his small unit, of course, he still had a little selfishness, that is, to see if he could ask the Mauser company to help change the Mauser M1896 63mm Mauser automatic pistol to the M1932 submachine pistol.

In fact, it was a barge gun that later swept China, but the M1896 automatic pistol at that time was fed by a fixed magazine, and the loading tool used a ten-round bridge magazine, and it was also a semi-automatic method, that is, a trigger was pulled to fire a bullet, and there was no continuous firing device.

The M1932 submachine pistol is the famous 20-shot barge gun in later generations, which uses the common 10-round or 20-round replaceable magazine in later generations, which can be fired in bursts or single-shots, although it is much inferior to submachine guns, but in the era when there were no submachine guns available, the effect of a submachine pistol was virtually magnified.

As a pistol, the Mauser submachine pistol you can't understand it as a pistol at all, it's too big for a pistol, the effective range is a little remote, it's a little too powerful, and it's a bit too high in terms of price, at that time a pistol cost only a few dollars, and the Mauser automatic pistol cost more than ten times as much as a pistol.

In September 1912, when the Beiyang War Department purchased Mauser automatic pistols from Deshang Lihe & Co., the price of a Mauser automatic pistol, together with the wooden box handle and 500 rounds of ammunition, was 58 taels of silver, which shows the high price of the pistol.

However, the muzzle velocity of the Mauser pistol bullet is relatively high, and the barrel is relatively long, so that its effective range is much larger than other pistols, generally about 70 meters, if the wooden gun box is combined with the tail of the gun as the butt to shoot against the shoulder, the effective range can reach more than 150 meters, but this also varies from person to person.

For this reason, as a pistol in Europe and the United States is not favored by foreigners, because the Mauser automatic pistol bullet muzzle velocity is relatively high, the recoil is relatively large, according to the shooting model of the action, the gun body is upright, the notch crosshair is horizontally upward, in the implementation of burst shooting, in addition to the first bullet, the rest of the bullets will be higher and higher to shoot into the sky, which is also the main reason why foreigners are reluctant to use Mauser automatic pistols, especially unwilling to use them for burst shooting.

But the smart Chinese invented a shooting technology of this submachine pistol, which is used to control the problem of muzzle jumping up when shooting fully automatic fire, the way is actually very simple, that is, when using the Mauser automatic pistol for continuous shooting, the gun body is flipped 90 degrees and the gun body is flat, so that the continuous shooting bullet will jump up along the axis of the gun body through the barrel, and naturally sweep out into a fan, and the result is that a scattered shot is formed in the horizontal plane, which is much better than jumping up the muzzle to the sky, And naturally solves the problem that the muzzle needs to move laterally when the continuous firing state, and at the same time, because the muzzle of the shell gun is located in the upper part of the gun body, the bullet case after shooting is thrown upwards from the bolt machine is easy to hit the head of the shooter, and the shell gun is turned over 90 degrees to make the bullet case be thrown horizontally, and the impact of the thrown shell on the shooter is avoided, which is another reason why the shell gun is used horizontally.

Therefore, this is also a unique noun when using a shell gun, a snap and a shot, this word is to describe the fundamental difference between the use of the shell gun and other pistols.

This is a miracle created by the Chinese people, no wonder those foreigners exclaimed: "Such a problem that has not been solved by the Chinese gently moved his wrist and solved it lightly." "It can be said that only when the Mauser automatic pistol is so widely used in China has the Chinese gained a truly rich practical experience with this light one-handed weapon."

So now in some movies and television, the use of shell guns is very problematic, often burst and the implementation of long point fire, and the posture of holding the gun is not right, after all, the shell gun is a submachine pistol is not **, only when needed, such as close encounters, ambush warfare and other occasions are suitable for continuous shooting, and at the same time, it is also necessary to turn the gun body flat for lateral strafing.

Unless it is connected to the body of the wooden gun body and turned into a shoulder shot, it can be used as a **, but generally speaking, it is not used too much, usually when it is used as a pistol with one hand.

The main purpose of Gao Hongsheng's desire to equip the shell gun is to use it as a close-range combat weapon, and it can also be used as a **, only need to install a long magazine with thirty rounds to directly transform into **.

Barge gun for the Chinese, the impact is quite far-reaching, in the new China ** there is a 1980 type combat pistol, this is the barge gun after the withdrawal of the shell gun from the historical stage, the new design of the only similar barge gun **, 80 years finalized, the gun was originally prepared to be equipped with company, battalion-level officers, but due to the successful development of the short assault rifle and the miniaturization of the submachine gun, it was not installed, and did not reproduce the glory of the Mauser automatic pistol.

However, these did not delay Gao Hongsheng to equip himself, in the era when there was no submachine gun, a pistol weighing no more than 1.5 kilograms that could be used as a ** was enough to fill the firepower of his bandit troops in close combat.

In particular, some of his bandit corps must also be equipped with this kind of small arms with short and capable firepower, such as the men of the merchants in various cities, the horse teams that transport goods, the gunners of artillery, and the escort weapons of machine gunners, sub-machine gunners, etc., as well as the small leaders at the squad and platoon level also need this kind of sharp weapons in close combat, and even ordinary infantry If they have one hand, it is estimated that in close combat, there is no army that can beat a unit with a barge gun in one hand.

As for the price of the shell gun, he really didn't care, the price was a bit high compared to a pistol, but the price was quite low compared to a **.

As soon as Gao Hongsheng took out the simulation sample of the barge gun, he attracted Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai, this thing is much more advanced than the big revolver they are equipped with now, and naturally it is undoubtedly passed, and even these two guys encouraged Gao Hongsheng to take down the production rights of Mauser automatic pistols, and then produce and sell them themselves, it is really this kind of weapon for a bandit team, it is not too much to have one hand, this is also the reason why their team faces more short-range and short firefights.

Gao Hongsheng is also a little tempted, the Mauser automatic pistol at least before the Thomson submachine gun came out in the Chinese market still has a considerable sales, in the era of war and chaos, there is a barge gun for self-defense, compared to a small pistol with a maximum bullet of only eight rounds, the deterrent power is much stronger.

Especially in urban street fighting, the effect of a ** is more than ten times that of a rifle, even if the submachine gun is equipped in large quantities in the future, this weapon that can be transformed into a ** can also be eliminated to the local security forces for use, at least in the face of bandits armed with small pistols, the power of the shell gun is much greater.

After the escort weapon barge gun was solved, the next thing was the light machine gun, but there are not many options for light machine guns at present, one is the Danish Madsen Madsen light machine gun invented in 1902 and the Lewis machine gun invented by the American Samuel McLean in 1910, as for the Czech-made ZB26 light machine gun that the Chinese are very familiar with, it will not appear until after World War I, and he has not planned to get it out in advance.

Compare the Lewis light machine gun and the Madsen light machine gun, the two weapons have their own benefits, the Lewis light machine gun uses a disc drum to load 47 rounds, can only use burst fire, and its large heat sink makes the weight of the Lewis light machine gun relatively heavy, the total weight is 14.9 kg after loading a 47-round drum.

Weighing close to fifteen kilograms, this is acceptable for a healthy soldier, but the heavy barrel sheath of the Lewis light machine gun makes the front part heavier, and the constant rotation of the drum when firing makes it unsuitable for walking fire, but it is very suitable for lying down.

Also due to its large barrel sheath, which dissipates heat quite well, and also has a very effective flame suppressor effect, it is difficult for the enemy to detect the firing position of the Lewis light machine gun from other positions except when viewed directly from the muzzle at night.

The Madsen light machine gun weighed less than 10 kilograms, was fed with a magazine of 30 rounds, and could be fired from the shoulder, either in single or continuous bursts. The structure is simple, the action is reliable, and it is closer to the light machine guns of later generations.

Compared with the Czech ZB26 light machine gun, the Madsen light machine was not very different, as a light machine gun invented before World War I, it was quite good at the time, and its invention in 1930 The unique "soft" tripod was the predecessor of the German MG34 and MG42 general machine guns.
