The success of the submachine gun completely stimulated the creativity of this group of weapon enthusiasts, and since the demand for simplicity and reliability, they fought for this goal.

The selection of light machine guns made this group of people hurt their brains, and finally divided into two factions, one was the PKM that supported the imitation of Maozi.

On the other hand, the atavists led by Luke firmly supported the imitation of the MG42 general-purpose machine gun.

In the end, after Long Lao drew the structure of the gun, he found that the structure of PKM was a little difficult to manufacture, so he had no choice but to choose MG42.

According to the available equipment and materials, this time the imitation of the machine gun barrel used better steel, and a 3x optical sight was welded on the gun receiver.

The biggest improvement is the addition of the bolt recoil cushioning mechanism, which slightly increases the difficulty of manufacturing, but greatly improves stability and reduces the rate of fire, making the weapon more maneuverable, but slightly bloated.

Once the prototype was built, Luke couldn't wait to test it himself. He couldn't wait to go to the shooting range with the machine gun that day, and couldn't put it down with this "MG42", although the details of the gun have changed a lot, but Luke, a World War II fan, is addicted.

The feel is similar to that of the Type 67, but it is lighter and slightly heavier than the Type 56 machine gun. A chain of 25 scatterable rounds that fire a Type 67 light machine gun.

Pulling the bolt on the side and adjusting the rate of fire to a gear of 700 rounds per minute, Luke aimed at the humanoid target at 100 meters. Throwing the cross on the scope, the humanoid target was trapped inside the crosshair, and Luke pulled the trigger, and "MG42" made a sound similar to the legendary chainsaw.

The recoil feels very soft because of the cushioning device, and the shooting feel is very good, and the barrel begins to turn red after firing 500 bullets in a row.

Luke quickly opened the release lever on the side, swapped the barrel in seconds, and spat out the bullet again.

After the fight, Luke raised his finger and exclaimed: "Good thing, really amazing!" I'll use this in the future! It's too strong!"

The rest of the people also stepped forward to experiment and were full of praise, and finally this "MG42" was also voted on, and all agreed to mass production.

The second is to imitate the 12.7mm caliber heavy machine gun, this is not to be argued at all, the M2HB used by the imperial army for 100 years is the best object, it is nothing more than to turn the barrel into a water-cooled one, after all, it is the end of the world, nothing to run around, or water-cooled better.

The firearm performed well during the test, even if it was a secondary reload of 12.7*108mm bullets, it didn't feel stuck, and the shooting durability was very strong, although it returned to the level of World War I, but this water-cooled machine gun is more suitable for places like wasteland, and the barrel does not have to worry about continuous firing and exploding, and it can be said to be a sharp weapon when cleaning up zombies.

As for the anti-tank gun, everyone thinks that it can refer to the principle of Barrett of the Empire, of course, it is a semi-automatic version, after all, the recoil of the 14.5*114mm bullet is not something that Asians can play.

The final design has a long barrel, is mounted on a two-seater high-mobility off-road vehicle produced by the base factory, is equipped with a medium anti-recoil device and a triple scope, 10 rounds of magazine loading, equipped with a large muzzle flame suppressor and brake, fires 14.5mm hard-core armor-piercing shells, can penetrate about 40mm steel plates at a range of 200 meters, and can be said to be extremely simple to deal with infantry vehicles.

The first batch of three cars was delivered to the Apocalyptic Business Brigade for experiments, and a small batch of all the initial models was delivered to Zhang Siyuan.

Zhang Siyuan is also accustomed to this kind of puppet life, every day he happily goes to fight zombies and find supplies, Luke and they give everything, the three tanks in the first two weeks are not used now, and they are still very easy to use.

The last and most difficult thing is the selection of shotguns, country C has always been at a backward level in this shotgun, and the advanced ones can't be built, and the backward ones don't want it, which can stump everyone.

I meditated for days without an accurate direction.

One day, when Luke and Li Mansha were together in the game "Subway, Escape", Luke suddenly found that the shotgun in it was very interesting, so he called everyone.

As soon as Long Lao saw the mechanical action of the gun firing in the game, his inspiration immediately opened, so he found a piece of paper and pen and began to draw.

After a while, a semi-automatic shotgun that looks like the one in the game appears on the paper.

The crowd was amazed by the ingenious structure, which used a transverse-like toggle mechanism to achieve semi-automatic fire, allowing the shotgun to be fed with magazines.

Since there is no domestic reserve of bullets, we can only find our own way, we decided to use the 14.5mm machine gun cartridge case, remove the narrow mouth in the front, and use the steel nail with the tail removed for the warhead, after all, the steel ball is not easy to find, and the bearing needs to be used, only such a thing as a steel nail is the most suitable.

The prototype gun was quickly manufactured, and looking at the shotgun in his hand that was the same as in the game, Luke had to admire Long Lao's solid weapon knowledge. Aiming at the target about fifteen meters away, Luke pulled the trigger, only to see the toggle mechanism on the gun quickly recoil. There was a small recoil force on the shoulder, and more than a dozen slender steel nails erupted from the muzzle, piercing the target, only to see the target sawdust flying sideways, and the thin planks were directly beaten and several pieces were missing.

Everyone looked at the steel nails tied to the wall behind the wooden planks and were very satisfied, such power must be very convenient to clean up zombies.

After the weapon was finalized, Luke and his team named the submachine gun "PPS41" and the machine gun "MGS42" and "M2" in honor of the previous manufacturer.

Soon the production of weapons began, and the original arsenal became richer. With shotguns in their hands, the soldiers of the exploration team have never suffered losses due to the lack of short-range explosive power when they enter the city, and the search efficiency has been greatly improved.

At present, the number of people in the base has expanded rapidly, there are about 5,000 people, and with the rapid growth of the business group in the last days, the total number of people in the base has been as high as about 6,500 people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the current base is the largest force in the CZ city, and there are constantly people who have been screened in.

When the personnel expanded, Luke and his team, in order to prevent all kinds of people from coming in and disturbing the atmosphere of the base, they placed the newcomers in a small area first, and only those who completed the brainwashing and trust assessment and the combat level assessment were put into the core area.

Luke is assigned to be the main person in charge of these recruit training departments, and if something goes wrong, Luke needs to solve it as soon as possible.

Everything is developing incomparably smoother, as if the end of the world is no longer so gloomy, and the light seems to soon come again in this broken world, every morning Luke has to sit on the top floor of the community, looking at the recruits who are training with rifles below and feel extremely relieved and happy, whenever someone passes the assessment and enters the internal camp at the end of a week, he always feels that life is particularly meaningful, often he will look at the gray sky and meditate by himself, if he has been living like this, it is not impossible!

It's just that what he doesn't know is that peace is always so short-lived. One night, a military truck stained with minced meat and blood stopped at the gate of Diamond City, Guang Changchun looked at the truck in front of him with a happy face, his heart was extremely excited, when the officer above the co-pilot of the truck got down, he immediately bent over, and hurriedly shook hands with the officer with a flattering face, and said: "Thank you for your help!" The little ones don't know how to thank them!"

The officer said with a proud face: "There are so many things, and when you make us feel useful, there will naturally be more, so let's see for ourselves!" Then he took the people and left.
