"Neutral rifle? Do you produce your own? Better than the weapons of the Great Powers? ”

"That's right!"

"Bragging!"

"Well, are you agitating the generals?" Li Zhigao smiled, "You don't have to be excited, if you want to give it a try, just tell me directly, and I can let you have a good time now." ”

"Really? Can I really try it myself? Yin Ruizhi immediately asked.

"Of course, many of my soldiers use this kind of gun." Li Zhigao smiled, and then hooked his finger at a sentry standing guard opposite, "You, private, come here!" ”

"Yes!" As soon as the soldier stood upright, he then strode up to Li Zhigao with his head held high, saluted again, and shouted, "Good chief!" ”

"Good, take a break!" Li Zhigao returned a military salute with a smile.

After the soldier put down his hand and made a short rest gesture, Li Zhigao wanted to pass the gun in his hand again and let him stand on the side, and then showed the rifle in his hand to Yin Ruizhi at close range: "Ah, this is my official rifle, and almost every soldier here has one except for special troops." ”

At the moment when Yin Ruizhi took the rifle, she didn't have time to play with the gun carefully, and immediately felt the hairs stand on end, and subconsciously looked around, and found that the people around her were staring at her, and many people had pointed the gun in their hands at Yin Ruizhi, and they were very nervous.

"I still don't look at it." Yin Ruizhi shook his head with a smile and pushed the gun, "Your people here are too nervous, I'm afraid I haven't finished trying yet, if they accidentally misfire, they will beat me into a sieve." ”

"That's just as well." Li Zhigao nodded and took the gun, "That's it, I'll show you here first, let you know how to use this gun, and then I'll go farther away and send someone to watch you fight, as long as I'm not by your side, I guess they won't be so nervous." ”

"It's a good idea." Yin Ruizhi smiled and nodded.

Next, Li Zhigao asked the guard platoon to cooperate with the nearby sentinels, first clear the vicinity, set up a gun target in the distance, and then personally teach Yin Ruizhi how to use this official rifle at the gate of the barracks.

That's right, the gun in Li Zhi's hand, in terms of appearance and data surname, is indeed the same as Li Zhigao's historical Chinese formal rifle, at least the design drawings and the like are made according to the Chinese formal rifle.

Different from the historical mid-range rifle imitated from the Mauser 1924 rifle, in order to be able to use bullets with its own AK assault rifle, this rifle has a caliber of 7.62 mm and uses 7.62*39 mm pointed bullets, which can be used with AK assault rifles.

In terms of power, although it seems that the power of 7.62*39 is less powerful than that of 7.92*57 ammunition, in fact, 7.62*39mm ammunition has less recoil and more accurate shooting, and within 450 meters, 7.62*39mm bullets have greater lethal power than 7.92*57mm bullets.

This is because ordinary soldiers can only shoot at about 400 meters, more than 400 meters, without a scope, the shooting accuracy can not be guaranteed at all, and 7.62 * 39 mm ammunition was originally a semi-automatic rifle and automatic rifle used in the intermediate power ammunition, if used in a bolt-action rifle with an extended barrel, due to airtight surnames and other factors, the power is greater than AK or 56 semi-automatic rifles, in the effective range of 450 meters, the accuracy is higher, and because of the low muzzle velocity, after the bullet is fired into the human body, Rolls wider, dealing secondary damage. According to the test on live pigs, if you are shot within 450 meters, the 7.62 * 39 mm bullet damage is greater than that of 7.92 * 57, even if it exceeds this distance, within 600 meters, 7.62 * 39 mm ammunition is also stronger than 7.92, more than 600 meters, then 7.92 * 57 is more powerful, but in fact, more than 400 meters, without an optical sight, it is generally difficult to shoot effectively, because it is not accurate, so for a tethered rifle, The firing distance of more than 600 meters is actually very weak, after all, the firing area of more than 400 meters away should be the domain of heavy weapons such as machine guns, cannons, and sniper rifles.

In addition to the change in caliber, there are also changes in the bayonet, the bayonet of this new official rifle, the use of three-edged stabs, although it can not be chopped, but it is more robust, so the length is longer than the original bayonet, reaching 612 mm, which is 36.5 mm longer than the historical 575.5 mm. In this way, the bayonet plus the original 1.11 meters gun length, there is a length of 1.722 meters, which can definitely compete with the mainstream rifles at this time, and the damage effect of the three-edged stab is greater than that of the sword-type bayonet.

Because the barrel and other important materials of this rifle are the steel tubes of later generations, and the bullets are also produced by the equipment of later generations, the process is quite good, much better than the rifles of the world's powers, the specific parameters are: magazine capacity of five bullets, ammunition uses 7.62 * 39 mm pointed bullets, muzzle velocity 782 meters per second, ruler range of 1500 meters, gun length of 1.11 meters, barrel length 615 mm, bayonet length 612 mm, effective range of 450 meters, total weight of 3.8 kg.

Just from the data, it can be seen that this medium official is much better than the historical middle form, and because of better craftsmanship, lighter weight, faster rate of fire, more accurate shooting, and greater damage, in this era, it is definitely the No.1 in bolt-action rifles.

Although it is different from the official rifle in history, it is said that the name should be changed, Li Zhigao did think about changing the name, but the level of his name is too bad, after taking several names, they all feel bad, and finally think that the main design of this gun is still formal after all, so it is simply called the official one, anyway, the name is just a big deal, and the name Zhongzheng is also good purely from the word, in line with the golden mean of the Chinese, and this gun is indeed very modest, not particularly good.

Interestingly, such a good rifle, because it uses the equipment of later generations and the steel pipes of later generations, in terms of price, the cost of each rifle is higher than the cost of other great powers at this time.

For example, at this time, even in Germany, the cost of producing an Mauser 1898 rifle was at least 40 silver dollars, and selling it to China was more than 80 silver dollars, and new guns generally had to be sold for more than 90 silver dollars. And how much does it cost to produce a medium-fledged rifle? Because of the use of seamless steel pipes in later generations, the use of modern CNC machine tools, plus the wooden butt parts here, all add up, even if you add the surcharge for equipment procurement, based on the current production of 45,000 units, the average cost of each gun is less than 500 yuan, if more is produced, the price will be cheaper.

So what will be the value of the silver dollar in the Hereafter? Even if you don't count the silver dollar in later generations, simply calculate the price of silver, a Mexican silver dollar contains 72% of silver, that is, a silver dollar contains 16.66 grams of silver, and the price of a gram of sterling silver in later generations is about 4 yuan a gram, so that a Mauser 1898 rifle costs 40 silver dollars, that is to say, the cost price is at least 2665.6 yuan when calculated as a silver price!

One is two thousand six, and the other is less than five hundred, the price difference is very obvious, not to mention that the surname can be a lot worse.

The reason why it is so much worse is because of the overcapacity of steel in the Republic in later generations, and the price of steel, including steel pipes, is very low, while the 50ba steel pipes of later generations can fully meet the use of firearms, and even much stronger than the steel pipes of this era.

Of course, in fact, the use of stainless steel seamless pipes in later generations can also be used as the barrel of this era, after all, the hardness of stainless steel in later generations is already very good, and it can withstand high temperature and impact, compared with 50ba and other boron steel pipes, if it is made into a barrel, it is nothing more than a lower service life, but it is easier to maintain, and the comprehensive surname can be said to be better.

In the end, the reason why Li Zhigao did not choose to use stainless steel pipes was because of the price factor, because the stainless steel that can be used as a gun barrel is relatively expensive, and the stainless steel pipe with a similar price as 50ba is a bit brittle, has a low life, and the processing surname is not good, and it is not easy to cut, especially when making rifling, it is often sticky to the knife, so in the end, I still choose 50ba, which is cheap and sufficient, and the surname can basically get by. You must know that the rifles used after the founding of the republic were 50ba steel.

50ba steel belongs to semi-calm steel, in the fifties and sixties of the republic may still be military steel, but in the twenty-first century, that is the civil steel of the bad street, belongs to the outcast of overcapacity, this seamless pipe, the price is not too cheap to say, just find a steel mill on the scale can produce it. Generally speaking, it is easy to buy barrel materials, but it is difficult to get rifling, and it is even more difficult to produce qualified bullets.

After the test here, the gun made of 50ba seamless steel tube, although it is not chrome-plated due to cost factors, but because of the use of later technology, it will not explode 25,000 times with a full-power bullet in a row, and it is a very reliable firearm.

Of course, there are some better steel pipes, such as GB6479-2000, which specializes in high-pressure fertilizer equipment, this kind of steel pipe can also be used as a gun barrel, but the price is a little expensive, the weight is a little heavy, and it is more suitable for a larger caliber barrel.

It can also be seen that why Li Zhigao used this kind of medium formal for his main force, instead of semi-automatic, in the final analysis, it is because of the price factor, because the labor cost of the Qing Dynasty at this time is very cheap, if the equipment is formal, you can quickly pull up a large army at a cheap price, and the logistical pressure is also small, which is much more cost-effective than semi-automatic.

Although such a large force may not be stronger than a small number of troops equipped with semi-automatic and automatic rifles in terms of combat capability, it is full of deterrence, and outsiders may not know the difference in your firearms, but the number of people is clear at a glance, and in many cases, deterrence is more important than actual combat effectiveness. Why was the governor helpless against Li Zhigao at the beginning, turning a blind eye and acquiescing to his existence? Don't you just think it's not cost-effective to send troops or the odds of winning are not high? This is the so-called surrender without a fight. Therefore, Li Zhigao's real purpose in building a large army with so many mobilized troops is to engage in deterrence, to let the people around him know that he is not easy to provoke, so that he can farm and develop with peace of mind.

After Li Zhigao explained all the methods of the official rifle, fired five shots in a row, and shot a magazine, he handed the gun to Zheng Yun and walked away by himself, Zheng Yun led the people of the guard platoon to separate Yin Ruizhi from Li Zhigao, and then handed the gun to Yin Ruizhi, and Zheng Yun personally watched her fight.

There's no way, it's really that Yin Ruizhi's past history is not very good, and he often plays assassination, so he has to guard against it, if he changes to someone else, Zheng Yun and the others will not be so nervous.

Yin Ruizhi didn't mind this, she followed Li Zhigao's explanation, demonstrated it in person, fired more than 20 bullets in a row, and tried the feeling after trying the bayonet, then stopped and handed the gun back to Zheng Yun.

"How's it going, my gun is good, right?" Li Zhigao, who came over again, said with a smile.

"That's good." Yin Ruizhi nodded, "The weight is average, but the bolt is very flexible, the shooting speed is fast, the recoil is small, the accuracy is high, and the bayonet is also good. ”

"It's not bad, it's not good to be strong." Li Zhigao shook his head, "Mine is a mid-formal, absolutely comprehensive victory over most rifles in the world at this time, you don't believe that you can fight a dozen Enfield, or beat Mauser 1898, and you will know the benefits of my gun when you compare it." ”

"I'm convinced of that." Yin Ruizhi nodded, "But you said you produced it yourself?" When will we be able to produce such a good gun? As far as I know, even if it is made in Hanyang, it is not as good as your gun. ”

"What, want to visit my arsenal?" Li Zhigao asked with a smile.

"That's up to you." Yin Ruizhi also laughed, "Of course I want to see it, but I have to give me permission to see it." ”

"What's wrong with this, forget about it, you can't go to the arsenal for half a step without my order, but you, I still trust it." Li Zhigao laughed, "Originally, it was getting late, and I wanted everyone to have a meal together, but if you are so anxious to see it, let's go to the arsenal first to let you open your eyes and see how my weapons are made!" ”
