Chapter 81: The Most Advanced Gun and the Windfall

In the empty field, a few rabbits stood and watched, but soon they were scattered and fled.

Bang! Bang! Bang! …… Bang!

"Aha! That's great! ”

I saw that in mid-air, an iron can was ravaged by several bullets, one, two, three, this unlucky guy was shot three times in a row, and his air posture was also immortal, but the fourth shot was just a fraction of a second.

"Whew~" Li Mengyang, who had just shown his miraculous marksmanship, blew off the white smoke from the muzzle of the gun, and only hit three of the four shots, and didn't hit the last two robberies, did this guy's marksmanship regress?

"I really didn't expect you to not only be able to write novels, but also to be so good at marksmanship...... Ha, by the way, Clint Eastwood is also a sharpshooter, if you two were to compare, hahaha...... Clint vs. Clint! It must be a lot of fun! "Elena swears she's never seen a marksmanship like this, it's amazing!

"Well, if I have a chance, I must meet that Clint, he dares to have the same name as me!" Li Mengyang said in his heart, Clint vs. Clint? This is absolutely impossible to happen.

"Hah! That must be interesting. "Yelena looks at marksmanship, but some people look at something else.

"My ......" originally wanted to say 'comrade', but the big man Bill understood Li Mengyang's eyes, so he cleverly changed his name, "Mr. Li......"

"Call me Clint!" Hey, damn beef noodles.

Big Bill?

That's right, it's him, this guy is standing next to Li Mengyang at this time, like a servant, or the housekeeper is more like, because the servant is not as well dressed as him, like a rich man.

"Okay, do you think there's anything else this gun needs to be improved?" The big man Bill is really respectful enough to Li Mengyang.

"The length of the barrel is still okay, but the hammer is a little bloated, and the grip is still uncomfortable, it is still too similar to the navy type, you know, the posture of holding the gun is different, and it has to be changed......" Li Mengyang complained, it turned out that the gun just now was not the Colt 1851 Navy he used before.

But it's still a revolver!

Definitely a revolver, but a revolver that has never been seen before.

The revolver of this era was still a front-loading gun, and it should be said that not much had changed, although Colt introduced several improved versions of the 1851 Navy model, but most of them were only minor changes, and the same was true for other companies.

These guns have a characteristic, that is, the barrel is relatively long, the pistols of this era are really long, especially not suitable for women, long, then naturally heavy.

And now the gun in Li Mengyang's hand is relatively short at first, and then the overall shape is very similar to the revolver of later generations, and it is reloaded, and in that place of the revolver, there are loading holes!

Obviously, Li Mengyang has exerted his talent in painting again......

However, there is actually a technical constraint in this, that is, why is the pistol chief?

It's because of the length of the barrel that the accuracy can be better guaranteed!

Li Mengyang didn't know before, in fact, the compound line was first used on a pistol, because there was no way to make a double line on a long gun at that time, although the early double line was straight at all, and even the hexagonal barrel was considered a double line.

The barrel of the pistol was relatively short, so Colt was very clever to apply the retort to his revolver, and as a result, the pistol at that time was much more accurate than the rifle, and the price of a Colt revolver could buy 6 rifles!

The situation is much better now, but it is only a matter of more than ten years, that is to say, the change in the firearm at this time is not very big, and the biggest change in the gun in Li Mengyang's hand is still in it, that is, the barrel of this gun is a spiral back and forth line!

This...... Did Li Mengyang become a little inventor? How could he get a pistol?

In fact, it's not Li Mengyang who is the inventor, the inventor is still the bald drunkard, and the reason why he can hold such an advanced revolver is because he is in an arsenal at this time, his Clint Lee Arsenal!

The story in this is long, to put it simply, Li Mengyang first accepted the big man Bill as an investment, in fact, he wanted to buy an arsenal to make weapons.

You must know that at that time, Li Mengyang was very wealthy, and he grabbed it all the way, and there was really so much money that there was nowhere to spend it, so he thought of this idea, investing in an arsenal this year is definitely a lot of money, and this thing is also closely related to his big plan.

When the big man Bill arrived in the east, he naturally began to look everywhere for suitable investment targets, and his luck turned out to be very good, and he soon found a failed arsenal.

It was 1858, less than a year after the Arsenal had been declared closed down in Rhode Island, and it just so happened that the Arsenal met Mr. Clint's requirements for advanced technology!

What exactly are the requirements for technological advancement?

Very simply, Li Mengyang's request to the big man Bill was quite vague, that is, let him try, can he find the kind of factory that can produce rifles that can be loaded from behind.

In fact, it was because Li Mengyang didn't know the specific time when the rear-loading gun appeared, he just felt that it seemed that it should be available now, but the combat methods and weapons of the U.S. troops he saw were still front-loading guns.

Unexpectedly, there really is, and it is in the United States, it is this arsenal in Rhode Island!

When Li Mengyang received a telegram from the big man Bill, and when he saw the description of the products produced by this arsenal in the telegram, Li Mengyang was simply puzzled.

The rifles produced by this factory are not only reloaded, but also copper-cased bullets!

That's right, it's basically the same as the later rifle that Li Mengyang knows, this is definitely one of the most advanced weapons in this era, why is this arsenal still going out of business?

You know, the former owner of this factory, named Ambrose Bernside, is said to be a former U.S. military officer, which means that people should not worry about sales channels.

But, it's out of business!

However, if you think about it simply, it seems that you can find the reason, the cost is high. Now the army and ordinary people are using front-loading guns, the bullet is a warhead, and the other gunpowder is packed in a paper bag, and the cost of the paper bag is definitely much lower than copper, right?

And the mechanical design of this rear-loading gun is quite complicated, although it is easy to use, but the cost must be higher than the weapons used on a large scale by the US military now, the current Springfield rifle, a only sells for 30 dollars, Bernside's gun is good, but the cost is 50 dollars, how to compete?

Coupled with the current President of the United States, Buchanan, he is still disarming, even if the gun is good, then he will not buy it.

The U.S. military at this time, and the U.S. military that Li Mengyang knew in later generations, are simply the armies of the two worlds!

So, it was cheaper for Li Mengyang, and the market has changed a little in the past two years, that is, after this company was acquired by Li Mengyang, the US military soon came to intend to purchase, that is, take your gun and try it to see how it is.

As a result, the list really came down, saying that the guns produced by your company are too good!

Buchanan suddenly became generous?

No, it's that the cavalry of the American army can't stand it, they are really tired of being infantry cavalry, they need a rifle that can kill the enemy on a horse, and not to be a damn 'infantry cavalry'!

Li Mengyang's investment quickly paid off, but this gun was sold to the American cavalry, and it must have been to kill the Indians, so ...... So, out of morality and conscience, Li Mengyang secretly sold some to the Indians, you must know that this is not easy, this is smuggling.

It seems that what the United States did in World War I and World War II, he Li Mengyang is doing it now, and he is still in the United States......

This new type of revolver, which was born naturally, this pistol is double-action, of course, it is borrowed from the products of the Remington company, and then the grip or something, as well as the engraving on the gun, will also learn from Colt in the future...... In recent years, everyone has been copycating, you are copying me, I am copying you, really, the United States is all like this, don't look at the patent law.

As for the spiral re-line, this is Erikson's work, of course, inspired by Li Mengyang, in fact, the cannon of the bald inventor back then was the 're-line' cannon, and he was tragic.

Not only a pistol, but also a new type of rifle, also designed by Li Mengyang, in short, it is actually a large 'revolver', a rifle plus a revolver. Li Mengyang's chick pecked Mitu again!

Li Mengyang, this guy is going to build an arsenal, this is going to ......

"Let me have fun too!" seems to be curious about everything, and Yelena is not small, so she wants to grab a gun.

"This thing is dangerous!" How is Li Mengyang willing to obey?

"Look down on women?"

"......" Li Mengyang was speechless, why are there so many feminists these days? Eleanor, that little girl, too.

Well, Yelena is older, and everyone is in their 20s this year.

"I sue you! These things are nothing! Our DuPont family is engaged in gunpowder! Fewer guns? ”

It seems that what they said is right.

"Then you can't shoot either, the recoil of this gun is still very strong, and the strength of you women is too weak, oh, I don't look down on women, but the truth."

Li Mengyang didn't tell a lie, but Yelena's face was not good-looking, but after thinking for a while, Yelena smiled again.

"So, Clint! Can you get your arsenal to make a gun that fits a woman? If you can make it, I'll help you get gunpowder! I'm a member of the DuPont family, and I have known this kind of thing since I was born! ”

...... "Don't say it, this mention is really good and tempting, but can this woman really do it?"

To be honest, there is really a certain reason why Li Mengyang took this Elena and the Dupont family behind her, and now, the girl wants to make gunpowder by herself, is this thing reliable?

Just as Li Mengyang was about to make a decision, the big man Bill saw someone greet him.

"Hey, son, come over here, meet the well-known Mr. Clint!"

"Son?" Li Mengyang followed the prestige, and saw a very capable young man walking over.

"Oh, is that Mr. Clint Lee? Hello, my name is John Rockefeller. ”

The young man held out his hand, but Clint Lee's hand stopped in mid-air......

Rockefeller?!
