'Lathe, lathe! Wang Feng muttered silently, fiddling with the bumper in his hand, the bumper was located above the back of the bolt, making a crisp sound.

The safety is divided into three gears, when dialed to the right, it will lock the firing arrester and the bolt body, so that the rifle can neither shoot nor open the bolt, when dialed to the central position, only lock the arrester, the rifle can not fire, but the bolt can be opened, can be loaded with bullets or empty the magazine, when dialed to the left position, that is, into the state of waiting to fire.

At this time, Wang Feng missed Jin Nengheng very much, Jin Nengxiang claimed that he could go back to the United States in October last year, and now it is May of the following year, and a round trip from China to the United States is obviously enough time, and it is almost time to come.

"Commander-in-chief, this is a bullet!" Zhang Wanchang grabbed a handful of bullets and came out.

The bullet is an oval copper-shelled bullet, but the bullet is still made of lead, Zhang Wanchang said again: "The bullet weighs 20 grams, the charge is 5 grams, and the brother has done it countless times, which is absolutely reliable." ”

"Good!" Wang Feng nodded, took the bullet, to be honest, the bullet in his hand is much rougher than the modern bullet, but the level of craftsmanship is like this, the requirements should not be too high, and it can be shot.

At the rear of the gun, a double-row fixed magazine is installed, which is also from the Mauser rifle, no way, the Mauser rifle is too classic, between the advent of semi-automatic rifles and automatic rifles, it is the standard standard of rifles all over the world.

Its characteristic is that = reloading can use bridge clips, each bridge clip holds five bullets, just enough to fill a magazine, another way to reload is to press the bullets into the magazine one round, only one round at a time.

Wang Feng used the first method, first loading five bullets into the bridge clip. Just as he was about to pretend, a crisp call came from behind: "Wang Feng." You're really here, and I went to the city hall and Alice to find you. ”

Wang Feng turned his head to look. It was Hong Xuanjiao and Yang Shuijiao, at the end of May, due to the hot weather, the two women did not wear military uniforms, but like Fu Shanxiang, they wore Qing Dynasty women's thin silk shirts, one pink, one light green, one slender, and one slender. One is glamorous, the other is delicate, and they are walking hand in hand.

This made Wang Feng burst out of his mind with a word, Shuangjiao Douyan!

But in front of everyone in the Weapons Bureau, Wang Feng didn't laugh at it, but his eyes shot sincere affection, and he smiled slightly: "I came over to see what new progress the Weapons Bureau has, why, is there something wrong with me in such a hurry?" ”

Yang Shuijiao nodded and said, "Huang Kaiguang's family is here." is willing to build a steel plant, and Huang Kaiguang still wants to take refuge in you, but Sister Xuanjiao doesn't know what you mean, so she hasn't expressed her position yet. just changed his living environment and sent someone to monitor him closely. ”

"Huh?" Huang Kaiguang actually wants to take refuge in himself? Wang Feng frowned, and then said, "Let's go and have a look later." If he is sincere, he can accept it. ”

"Huh? What kind of gun are you holding? Yang Shuijiao noticed the rifle in Wang Feng's hand. It's a little different from the Minnie gun, and I can't help but be surprised.

Wang Feng shoved the gun and bullets into Yang Shuijiao's hand. Then he said: "This is a rear-loading rifle developed by the Ordnance Bureau, come, you try it." ”

"Hmm!" Yang Shuijiao nodded, but said again: "How is it a copper-shelled bullet?" Where's the Passage? Is it directly loaded? As she spoke, she picked up a bullet and stuffed it into the muzzle, but the caliber of the cartridge casing was larger than the caliber of the muzzle, and she couldn't fit it in, which made her eyes roll in a hurry.

"Yang Shuijiao, can you not be so funny?" Wang Feng suddenly laughed and said, "I said it was a rear-loading gun, why are you still loading it forward?" Come on, come on, I'll teach you how to pretend! ”

Yang Shuijiao was embarrassed and embarrassed, her face was flushed, and after stamping her feet very angrily, she let Wang Fenghuan put her arms around her back and taught her hand in hand.

Hong Xuanjiao was also dissatisfied: "You are really boring, the first time Shui Jiao touched this kind of gun, it is normal that she will not use it, what are you doing mocking others?" ”

"Hey~~" Wang Feng didn't squeak, just smiled, because arguing with a woman was obviously an unwise decision.

With Wang Feng's patient guidance, Yang Shuijiao went from being unfamiliar to being proficient, and quickly loaded five bullets, and Hong Xuanjiao was also surprised: "So easy? And loading five bullets at a time saves a lot of trouble, Shui Jiao, try it quickly. ”

"Uh-huh!" Yang Shuijiao was very eager, nodded heavily, pulled the bolt again, and aimed the gun at the target 500 meters away.

"Bang!" The muzzle of the gun flashed, and after a while, a call came from afar: "Miss Yang, six rings!" ”

"It's only six rings, and my Mini gun can hit at least nine rings!" Yang Shuijiao's face immediately hung up, looking very disappointed.

Wang Feng said indifferently: "Yang Shuijiao, this is the latest rifle, it is not easy to hit the target for the first time, what do you want?" Here, get the cartridge case out and take the next shot. As he spoke, he called forward: "Move back two hundred meters!" ”

Hong Xuanjiao hurriedly asked, "Isn't five hundred meters plus two hundred meters seven hundred meters?" Can this gun shoot that far? ”

Wang Feng nodded solemnly: "Theoretically speaking, the effective range of the rear-loading rifle is eight hundred meters, and the ultimate range is two thousand meters, let's try it today to see how far it can hit." ”

Suddenly, Hong Xuanjiao and Yang Shuijiao both showed disbelief, the Mini gun can fight 500 meters, they are extremely satisfied, it can be said that the Democratic Alliance Army can have today, the contribution of the Mini gun can not be ignored, and this new rifle has become 800 meters in Wang Feng's mouth, what role will this play if it is taken to the battlefield?

"Bang bang bang ~~" All of a sudden, the gunshots rang out, Hong Xuanjiao and Yang Shuijiao, you shot a few shots, I shot a few times, and the barrel was changed several times.

"Ahh 1,200 meters of three rings? I'm not dreaming, am I? Swing it back again, straight to 1,500 meters! ”

"Why can't you hit a few shots in a row? Let's swing it back! ”

With the sound of gunshots, as well as the screams of Yang Shuijiao and Hong Xuanjiao, until the copper bullets were gone, the two women still couldn't get enough of it.

After nearly 100 actual tests, although Yang Shuijiao miraculously hit the target of 1,200 meters, it cannot be counted, it can only be counted as accidental, and the accuracy can be guaranteed on the scale of 700 meters.

Hong Xuanjiao's beautiful eyes flashed, and she asked a series of questions: "If this kind of gun is equipped on the battlefield, who else will be our opponent?" Wang Feng: Do you say it? The last gun was called the Minnie gun, and the name was nondescript, what are you going to name this time? When will it be installed in the army? ”

After a little hesitation, Wang Feng said: "The Mini gun has been there for a long time, and we just imitated it, so I used the international common name, and this one is our original, and we must give it a Chinese-style name." ”

After speaking, Wang Feng turned his head and asked, "Zhang Wanchang, who designed this?" ”

Zhang Wanchang touched his head and said with a sneer: "Commander-in-chief, this is designed by you, it was created by dozens of brothers from the third group of the Firearms Department according to the drawings you gave, do you want to name it after the designer?" Then you can only use your own name. ”

In a sense, this gun is indeed designed by himself, but named after himself, Wang Feng always felt that he was not very used to it, so he smiled dumbly: "This year is the year 1854 of the Western calendar, so I named it the May Fourth Rifle, which is currently only a real model, far from the equipment, the workmanship needs to be fine, and it must be guaranteed on the basis of full solidity, and the caliber of the barrel needs to be reduced, you can try to build it by hand, and the other point is the bullet."

The Mini gun we use is 17.8 mm caliber, and the May Fourth rifle is set at 7.62 mm, in addition to the production of a small number of existing real yàn bullets, we must put most of the funds and energy into the research of 7.62 mm caliber bullets, I hope that our standard bullets can try to use smokeless gunpowder, and change the lead head to copper or steel head, in the future when the final mass production, I will give credit to all the participants! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Wanchang saluted violently!

Yang Shuijiao was puzzled: "Wang Feng, 7.62 mm is so small, it doesn't even have the width of a fingernail, why do you want the new bullet to be so small?" What's so good about being small? ”

This is also Zhang Wanchang's puzzlement, but he will not think and ask anything like Yang Shuijiao, but will do what Wang Feng instructs.

Wang Feng patiently explained: "Don't look at the effective range of the May Fourth rifle is 700 meters, that is on the basis of full aiming, and the Mini gun is the same, aiming and hitting, it can indeed hit the target of 500 meters, but when there is a fierce exchange of fire on the battlefield, where is the aiming time?"

In my opinion, the real effective range of the Minnie gun does not exceed 300 meters, and our 54-type rifle is more advanced, even if it is 400 meters, so it is not the effective range of the gun that determines the lethality of infantry weapons, but the amount of ammunition fired at the target per unit of time, which makes it unnecessary for the rifle to use a very heavy bullet to ensure a long effective range.

On the other hand, the rate of fire of the 54-type rifle is six to seven rounds per minute, and the rate of fire of the improved model in the future will be faster, and the high rate of fire requires soldiers to carry more ammunition, which can only use small-caliber bullets to reduce the unit weight, and this is only a real gun, the effective range of 700 meters is far from satisfactory, and 1,000 meters is normal, so it is still certain to reduce the caliber and ensure the effective range of seven or eight hundred meters when it is finalized and mass-produced in the future. ”

"Oh~~" Zhang Wanchang suddenly realized: "Commander-in-chief, I understand everything when I hear you say this, you can rest assured, we will study according to your instructions." ”

Hong Xuanjiao asked again: "Then how long will it take to equip the troops?" ”

Wang Feng waved his hand and said: "The May Fourth rifle is a top secret, and if it comes out too soon, it will make the European powers follow suit, and our industrial base is almost zero, in terms of production capacity, how can it compare to Europe?"

If you are not in a hurry, you will have the ability to mass-produce and you will not need to equip the troops, and you will not need the May Fourth rifle to fight against the Qing army, the Taiping army, and even the Twist army, which is specially prepared for Europeans, and can only be used at critical times. ”

"Alas~~" Hong Xuanjiao sighed: "You are right, but such a good gun can only be seen and cannot be used, and it always feels quite provocative." (To be continued......) R1292
