Chapter 269: Bring Me 56 and a Half of 1000 Sticks

"Then why does this gun look like that AK-47?" Huang Shi picked up the CZ-858 rifle and did the same as the black uncles he saw on TV, holding the gun and shooting around.

"Hehe, yes, it looks too similar to the famous Kalashnikov's AK-47 assault rifle, but their construction principle is different. I think the Czechs deliberately designed the Vz58 with this shape, and I guess they still want to borrow the reputation of AK to get better sales. However, in fact, among the original Warsaw Pact countries, the Vz58 assault rifle is one of the relatively rare 'original' assault rifles, because most of the Warsaw Pact countries at that time directly used their own imitation of the Soviet-style AK rifle. Svenbo said generously.

"Oh, I see. So how much do these two guns sell for here in Canada? Huang Shi saw that they looked good, so he wanted to ask the price, if it was cheap, let Shi Wenbo buy dozens more, and first equip his own armed forces on Dongluo Island, because an army without modern firearms could not be called a modern army.

"This Remington-700 rifle costs $850 a rifle in the store, and we can get it cheaper, only $500. If it's too expensive, then buy a replica version of our NORINCO and you can get it for about 200 Canadian dollars. ”

"As for the CZ-858 automatic rifle in your hand, the price will be a little cheaper, it used to be around 700 Canadian dollars, but now it has also become a restricted weapon, and it is generally not sold in stores." Swainberg's gun club used to sell both guns, so the price was quoted at once.

Huang Shi felt that although the guns were a little expensive, because they were converted into RMB 4,800 yuan and 3,900 yuan, but they were acceptable, the key to the next is to look at the price of the bullet, so he asked Shi Wenbodao, "Old Shi, this gun is not very expensive, how much do they pay for a bullet?" ”

"1,000 rounds cost about $400."

Huang Shi calculated in his heart that it would cost almost 2 yuan for a bullet, so it would cost a lot if he wanted to go to war. It seems that they can only buy a small number of rifles to equip their most loyal and elite men, and other non-elite troops cannot be equipped with these modern firearms, after all, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Because for those non-elite troops, they still have to take the line of shooting with muskets. In this way, you can completely produce gun barrels and fire caps in modern factories, and then produce parts such as butts in ancient times, and assemble the two, so that you can have enough financial resources to build a very large armed force.

At that time, it can be a double harvest system in a specific battle. The use of modern firearms, auxiliary combat, such as the use of "Maxine" and sniper rifles, the former is a powerful weapon of killing, when a large number of enemy cavalry impact, directly use "Maxine" to harvest life, and the latter sniper rifle is used to kill the enemy's commander, the number of the two is not too much, but the degree of secrecy is high, the rest of the enemy only needs to use the cap gun to serve, thinking of this Huangshi can't help but have some thoughts.

"Lao Huang, do you want to try these guns?" Shi Wenbo had been living in the warehouse for two days, and he was eager to go outside, so when he saw Huang Shi asking about guns, he wanted to encourage Huang to take them outside and find a place to try the guns in their hands, so that they could also enjoy the scenery of the 16th century.

Huang Shi shook his head, snatched the hand that was in his arms and took it out again, "Don't worry, what's the brand of this pistol?" ”

"This gun is a Beretta 92F pistol, which was developed by the Italian company Beretta, but the Americans call it the M9 pistol."

"M9 pistol?" Huang Shi felt that the name was familiar, as if he had heard it often.

"Because it was chosen by the Americans as a new generation of standard military pistols, this gun can fire 9 mm balabylum rounds, the total length is 217 mm, and the empty gun is 0 weight. 96 kg, muzzle velocity 333.7 meters per second, effective range is 50 meters. ”

"Oh, I said no wonder, I always think I've heard some name like M9, it turns out to be a military pistol of the U.S. Army." Huang Shi doesn't like military affairs, he likes politics, he usually just watches the news of current affairs, but most of the people in the various discussion groups and forums he participates in are very valuable about these weapons, so he can often hear these terms.

Swenbo is a person who is addicted to playing with guns, so he naturally knows these common senses well, so he said to Huangshi, "Americans' military gun series all start with M. ”

"Well, what guns do they have besides these two?" Huangshi asked, remembering that the most common thing he could hear was the M1.

Swenbo wrenched his fingers, "Their military guns can be divided into two categories, the first is assault rifles, there are two types of M-4 series assault rifles and M-16 series assault rifles, the second type is sniper rifles There are also two types of M-82 series sniper rifles and Tango-51 sniper rifles, as for the third type of pistols, in addition to the M9 in your hand, there are also M-1911 series pistols, but now most of them have been retired." ”

"Oh, by the way, there are two types of guns, one is a machine gun, which is the M-60 general-purpose machine gun and the M-249 general-purpose machine gun, and the last category is the submachine gun, I know that there is one, it is the MP-5 submachine gun."

Huang Shi nodded, indicating that he understood, but then asked, "By the way, how can there be no M1?" I've heard people say it a lot. ”

"That's the standard rifle they used during World War II, officially known as the M1 Garand rifle, and it seems that nearly 10 million units were produced between October 1935 and 1957, through two wars, World War II and the Korean War."

"10 million?" Huangshi was a little secretly staggering.

"Brother Huang, 10 million is actually not much, AK47 series rifles are one of the most widely used rifle weapons, equipped with the armies of more than 30 countries in the world, and some have also been imitated or licensed, I heard that in the past few decades, nearly 100 million have been produced, this is the real king of guns in the world."

"That's a lot for 100 million!" Huangshi was a little stupid.

"Yes, it's nearly 100 million, and if you count it according to the population of the earth, that's 70 people have one gun." Although Bai Xiaohei is not as fond of guns as Shi Wenbo, he also knows a lot about these things.

"What are you talking about?" After Shi Wenbo finished talking to Huang Shi just now, he turned to the corner to release the water, so he asked as soon as he came back.

Bai Xiaohei replied with a smile, "I told Brother Huang just now that the largest sales of rifles are the AK47 series, with nearly 100 million units. ”

"Oh, it's right or not, in fact, specifically, it's our Chinese Type 56 and its derivative gun clan that are the main ones with the largest sales, and in Africa, Uncle Black only recognizes Type 56. Like what 47, M, and 74M are all non-mainstream, because the 56 type is particularly cheap, and Maozi's genuine AK47 is very expensive. ”

Huangshi has been famous for the AK47 for a long time, so he also wanted to buy a handful to play with it, and asked, "How much is that AK47?" ”

"It's already a restricted weapon in our place, only on the black market, so we'll have to ask. And it is also very expensive in the United States now, it has risen to more than 1,000 dollars. However, if you are in Somalia, a second-hand AK47 is about 7 or 8 US dollars, but if you are in China, you may not be able to buy it even if it is tens of thousands.

"Yes, yes." At first, Huang Shi listened to it and was still a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, he understood the reason, the price of the firearm itself is related to local management, demand, transportation or production costs, and the AK47 is still like Bai Xiaohei said, it is imitated or licensed everywhere.

If it is like a private black market in China, these guns are legally prohibited by the state, then the cost of violating the law is very high, and taking these factors into account, the price will naturally be so high that it is unacceptable to ordinary people, and maybe there is still no market.

In some countries where it is sold legally, such as the United States, this automatic rifle is also a luxury item, so the tax rate is very high, and the price can be sold for thousands of dollars, compared with the pistol or the M14 civilian class made in the United States, the price can be 200 US dollars or more, and it may be more expensive than other countries that sell it legally. Because they have to protect the local firearms industry, and imported AK47s have to be taxed.

In an area like Somalia, where there is no government control, in a war-torn area, the price should be very cheap, although not necessarily as Swenbo said. But it's definitely cheap, and it's probably no different from ordinary goods.

Shi Wenbo knew that Huangshi liked cheap and high-quality things, so he said, "Old Huang, why don't you also buy one of our 56 and a half, and now the price is very cheap." ”

"How much?" Sure enough, as soon as he heard that there was something very cheap, Huangshi suddenly came to his senses.

"The cheapest 56 and a half is now only 150 Canadian dollars, if it is SKS, then another thirty or twenty Canadian dollars will do, and the bullets are also cheap, five or six and a half military leftover ammunition 7. 62*39,720 rounds only cost 220 yuan. ”

"So cheap!" Huang Shi calculated in his heart, the same assault rifle, the price is only one-fifth of the American goods, while secretly depressed, he was a little happy to see the hunt, and said loudly, "Then bring me 1,000 pieces!" ”
