After getting along for a period of time, Xu Jie has a deep understanding of the efficiency of entrusting Leo. As long as there is money to be made, this person's work efficiency is comparable to that of the best Teko of the year. So, after the weekend table meeting. Xu Jie threw himself into the cottage work of light weapons again.

What can be done in this era? Heavy machine guns are already available. With the current technology, it will take at least 10+ years to make a heavy machine gun that surpasses the Maxine machine gun, and even more so than the MG series. Light machine guns? Well, the success of the Madsen light machine gun in 1902 was mainly stuck in principle, and there were no problems on an industrial basis. This can be considered. Rifles? Several well-known rifles have already taken shape. Like Lee Enfield, Mauser, Mosin Nagan, Manlisha. As for Carcano in Italy? The lethality of 6.5 is obviously insufficient, and the early use of round-headed bullets is not considered. If you look at it comprehensively, Xu Jie still admires the Manlixia 1895 rifle, its biggest feature is the ultra-high rate of fire, because of the use of straight-pull bolts, the rate of fire of the Manlixia 1895 can reach more than 30 rounds per minute. Moreover, the structure is simple, the weight is light, the use is easy and the reliability is high. Although there were problems such as insufficient bolt pulling force and overly complex ammunition feeding system, the rate of fire of the straight-pull rifle was the fastest under the conditions of the time. As for the supply of bombs, Xu Jie himself still has the ability to improve. For example, replacing the detachable magazine can solve the problem of loading trouble. As for the pistols, there are currently two types selected, one is the well-known box gun, the Mauser C96 pistol. The other is the Browning 1900 style. As for why he chose 2 types of pistols at the same time, Xu Jie has his own considerations.

I want to ask, the barge gun and the Browning gun are more powerful? There is no doubt that it is the former, not to mention the speed and slowness of the later shell guns, simply from the magazine of 20 rounds, it is more practical than the 7-round magazine of the Browning 1900 I don't know how many times. The former can be used as a micro-flush when necessary. But to ask which gun is more popular with the military in Europe? That is undoubtedly the latter. There is no other reason, although the barge gun has fierce firepower, the connection is extremely low, and it is inconvenient to carry, and the price is expensive (at that time, a gun seemed to be 3 pounds). Moreover, at that time, European countries also generally believed that pistols were used for self-defense, and there was no need to have excessive firepower. For example, the German 1918 submachine gun. However, in the relatively backward regions of Asia and South Africa, shell guns are popular. Because the armies of these countries lack sufficient firepower. So, in terms of the choice of pistols, Xu Jie decided to copycat two kinds, one for making money in Europe, and the other for equipping the Beiyang troops (if possible).

After the selection of the gun type, Xu Jie began to draw sketches, in its plane, all kinds of firearm drawings have been rotten on the street, plus Xu Jie's grandfather, the old Red Army who had been awarded the title twice, his own collection of box guns and Browning 1903 pistols have been disassembled by Xu Jie I don't know how many times, so the pistol imitation is very fast. The drawings were completed within 3 days, and then handed over to Leo to be responsible for trial production. Considering the factors of trial production, Xu Jie did not add the proprietary fast and slow machine of the barge gun, in the gun type, Xu Jie extended the length of the barrel to one of the subspecies, and there was a handguard under the barrel to make it easy to grasp. USES 9*25MM BELLUM BULLETS. The purpose of this design is to enhance the power of the shell gun and the stability of firing. At the same time, it also uses a detachable magazine to speed up the reloading speed (at the beginning, the barge gun used a fixed magazine, which was not very convenient to load). This long-barreled pistol has quite good accuracy and power at 150M**, and it can completely suppress any weapon at that time. As for Browning. It is beautiful and generous, easy to carry, and basically follows the historical design, but the ammunition is replaced with 9*19 bellum bullets. The rifle design, in addition to using a detachable magazine to feed the ammunition, can be selected according to the different calibers of the user. AS FAR AS XU JIE'S PERSONAL OPINION IS CONCERNED, HE PREFERS TO USE 7.92*57MM POINTED RIFLE BULLETS, WHICH HAVE GOOD ACCURACY AND POWER.

In addition to firearms, Xu Jie did not forget the best weapon of the year, grenades. Historically, in the 17th century, the European powers had already equipped elite infantry with this weapon and called it a grenadier, but the war that really matured the grenade and exerted great power was the Russo-Japanese War. Xu Jie plans to design two kinds of grenades, one is an offensive grenade, which can be thrown when the infantry charges, with a charge between 60 grams and 80 grams, using a cast iron projectile body, and the excitation process is that after the ring is pulled, the firing pin collides with the thunder mercury and then ignites the fuse, and then detonates the charge. The delay is set at 4 seconds. The shape is oval. The other is a defensive grenade, the user must choose to be under the cover of the cover to ensure that it is not affected, the charge is about 120 grams, and the projectile body and the principle of excitation are the same as those of offensive grenades. In addition, Xu Jie also planned to pirate the grenadier and use the defensive grenade as ammunition for the grenadier. …,

Seven days later, Leo and Vino were entrusted to come to Xu Jie with the prototype rifle. "Xu, your rifle and the Type 1889 self-defense pistol (Browning 1903) were successful, and the military showed great interest. But your combat pistol (box gun) military said that it did not understand. In terms of power and range accuracy, it is inferior to a rifle. In terms of portability, it is not as good as your self-defense pistol. Leo said seriously.

"You mean that the newly formed ** Firearms Design Bureau intends to abandon combat pistols?" Xu Jie couldn't help frowning.

"Well, that's what it means, after all, at long range, the army has machine guns and artillery, and self-defense pistols are more convenient in close combat." Leo said apologetically.

"I'm not going to give up on the combat pistol, it's bulky, but it's significantly more powerful than the self-defense pistol in street fighting and close combat, and we need it to fill the gap between pistols and rifles." Xu Jie persisted.

"However, now that there is no order holding, I think it will be difficult for us to continue to do it, after all, it is necessary to make money to produce a product." Entrusting Leo to try to persuade Xu Jie with the logic of a businessman.

"Taking a lump out of my profits, I'm going to complete the project." Xu Jie didn't let a step, after all, in the European army with strong firepower, the box gun is not very useful, but it does not mean that this weapon is useless in the Asian army.

"Well, since you insist on this, I agree with you, the development of a combat pistol can be completed, but the production line must have enough orders to open." Leo was entrusted with a compromise. "Besides, the stick lads of the Mountain Division want some short-barreled rifles."

"A rifle suitable for use in the jungle? No problem. Xu Jie snapped his fingers and said.

Because of the (and) (harmonic) problem, the name of the design bureau in this book is (hot) (that) (Asia) design bureau, and the name of the dome cruiser is also (hot) (that) (Asia)
