"Get me some guns!" Li Yaoyang said with a gloomy face.
He made everyone feel palpitations like this, the calm before the storm?
But how many people can withstand the oppression of the sky?
"What gun?" Cecil asked without thinking.
"Browning M1906!"
ā1906ļ¼ā It took Cecil a moment to react.
"Yes!" Li Yaoyang nodded:
"The other guns are too big to be good for concealment, 1906 is the most suitable!"
"I see, how many do you want?"
"Let's start with 20 and get more bullets."
"Okay, I'll have someone send it back, is there anything else?"
"No, I'll arrange the rest, by the way, there's the sheriff's side..."
"Don't worry, I'll say hello and make sure no one interferes with your actions, Lee, I wish you success!"
He won't hypocritically say that he won't let him go, there's no point, because he wants Salvatore to die more than anyone else!
The M1906 is a famous gun, almost as famous as 1911, small in size, can be hidden in the palm of a person's hand without being detected, designed by the famous design master Browning, and produced by the Belgian company FN.
The design of this miniature pistol was very successful and was enshrined as a model and template for the miniature pistol, which was compact, well-crafted, powerful enough, and smaller than the palm of a human hand.
When performing special tasks, it can hide in the palm of a person's hand without being detected, and people call it "palm thunder", "opposite smile".
Twenty years ago, Browning designed semi-automatic pistols such as the M1900 and M1903, and these pistols were equipped with troops because of their scientific design and high reliability, and they performed well in actual combat.
As a result, he was very popular with the majority of officers and soldiers in the army, and Browning's great success established his position in the field of pistol design.
Then he wanted to design a semi-automatic pistol with a smaller size in order to achieve a "grand slam" in the field of pistol design.
In 1904, he designed a miniature pistol and marketed it to the Colt Gunsmith Company, but Colt executives decided that the gun was too complex to be built.
So Browning moved to Europe and arrived in Belgium, where he pushed the miniature pistol to the country's FN company.
FN admired Browning very much and always liked special designs, so he quickly agreed to cooperate with Browning.
Browning continued to develop the miniature pistol, improving the original design, and in 1905 he successfully designed a semi-automatic miniature pistol, which was finalized as the M1906 semi-automatic miniature pistol.
The M1906 has a simple structure, with only 33 parts in the whole gun, which can be quickly decomposed into sleeves, barrels, re-entry springs, guide rods, firing pins and firing pin spring assemblies, sleeve seats, magazines, connecting pins and other parts.
It is improved and miniaturized on the basis of the M1906 semi-automatic pistol, and some new technologies are used to make the parts more tightly bound and operate more reliably, in line with the characteristics of the miniature pistol, and it is also very easy to disassemble.
The M1906 has a relatively smooth shape and does not have any raised edges and corners on the gun body.
The fixed notch and front sight are located in the slot at the top of the sleeve, and the trigger is designed as a plate.
The buckle is arc-shaped, which will not affect the speed of the gun because it is hidden in the pocket and is hooked, the gun is very safe, designed with triple insurance, and it is also very safe to carry after the bullet is loaded:
The first is the magazine safety, when the magazine is not loaded, the trigger can be locked and cannot be fired;
Second, there is a manual insurance at the left rear of the sleeve seat, which is pulled into the gap behind the sleeve to be the insurance state;
The third is the grip safety, which can only release the firing pin when the trigger is pulled after it is held correctly and squeezed into place.
Don't underestimate its power as a miniature pistol, it has a caliber of 6.36 mm, a gun length of 114 mm, and a weight of 350 grams.
There are 6 right-handed rifling wires in the barrel, the magazine capacity is 6 rounds, the effective range is 30 meters, and the bullet is 0.25 inch ACP rounds.
The warhead is a nickel-copper alloy armor projectile, which has a strong penetration ability.
Its six-round magazine exceeds the firepower of an ordinary miniature pistol, and its size is about the size of a pack of cigarettes, making it impossible to see it when it is held tightly in the palm of your hand.
Under special circumstances, the gun can be concealed in the pocket of the hand, so that the enemy does not know where the bullet came from after being shot.
When Colt refused to cooperate with Browning on the development of this gun, Browning pushed it to the Belgian company FN, which was very popular after being launched by FN and sold all over the world, selling well.
Browning was also awarded the Knight of the Cross and a gold pistol by the King of Belgium.
Seeing this situation, the Colt Company was red-eyed and asked to cooperate with Browning, and finally Browning sold the patent to the Colt Company.
So there are two versions of this gun, the FN company version is called "FN-Browning", and the body has a deformed "FN" pattern, and the Colt company version is called "Colt-Browning", also known as the "Colt M1908 pocket pistol", and the body has Colt's signature "Lima" pattern.
From 1908 to 1948, the Colt Company produced a total of 410,000 units, making a lot of money.
However, there is also a theory that with the development of industrialization and urbanization in this era, people's lifestyles have changed significantly, which has also given rise to the demand for small self-defense pistols.
Because these guns are small in size, they can be hidden in the inner pockets of coats, suit vests, or women's purses, and they have a certain lethality to meet the minimum needs of self-defense.
This period was also the period when the new automatic pistol appeared on the stage of history, gradually replacing the revolver, which could be made flatter and more suitable for concealment than the revolver.
In order to match the miniature automatic pistol, a new type of small-caliber pistol cartridge was also born during this period, which is the .25-inch Colt automatic pistol cartridge, or 6.35x16mm SR pistol cartridge.
The bullet is fired at a 2-inch barrel miniature pistol, and the muzzle kinetic energy is about 87J, which has just crossed the 78J minimum of lethal kinetic energy recognized by various countries, that is, just enough to kill people, and the power of the .22LR rim fire bullet is about the same.
According to the standards of later generations, it was not qualified as a bullet for personal defense, but it was one of the few bullets that could be used in miniature automatic pistols during this period.
There is a general environmental demand for miniature automatic pistols, and there are cartridges suitable for miniature automatic pistols, and the next step is production and development.
At that time, Browning had cooperative relations with many European firearms companies, among which the European cooperative enterprise was the Belgian Herstal State Arsenal, that is, FN Company.
In the ugly country, shotguns and lever rifles are mainly cooperated with Winchester Lianzhu Light Weapons Company, and automatic pistols and machine guns are cooperated with Colt Manufacturing Company. In order to prevent the internal friction of disorderly competition between different companies of the same type of weapons, Browning signed an agreement with FN Company.
The agreement stipulates that FN will be able to sell Browning-designed firearms in Europe, but not in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and will not be able to enter the North American market.
Because these are the market territories of Colt, there is a situation where the same patent of Browning is put into production in North America and Europe, and there are two similar products.
Specific to the miniature automatic pistol, Browning's design also appeared in a patent and two gun type, and his patent was put into production in FN company A version called FNM1906, that is, the miniature pistol called "Five Bees" and "Palm Thunder" in China.
At the same time, in North America, there was a Colt version, which was the Colt M1908, also known as the suit vest pocket gun.
And even Colt's "M1908" has two versions, in addition to this pocket gun, there is also a .380ACP caliber Colt M1908 built-in hammer pistol.
In fact, the prototype gun that Browning designed for the Colt company at the beginning was a smaller version of the Colt M1903 "Continental Hammer" with a built-in hammer.
But Colt Company gave it a no, so Browning still took out the patent for the miniature firing pin gun given to FN Company, which was favored by Colt Company.
The Colt M1908 is highly similar to the FNM1906 in appearance and structure, both of which are free bolt principle, firing pin fire, and grip safety behind the grip.
The barrel is combined with the sleeve seat through several arc grooves at the bottom, and the later models have a magazine safe, and even if there is a bullet in the chamber when the magazine is removed, it cannot be fired......
Because they are based on the same patented design of Browning, they belong to twin sisters.
But a closer look at the Colt M1908 and FNM1906 reveals some subtle differences:
Except for the difference in the grip logo, the Colt M1908 has the same width of the trigger front and back, while the leading edge of the trigger of the FNM1906 is widened for easy finger pulling.
The shape of the manual safety of Colt M1908 and FNM1906 is also different, the safety gap at the bottom of the sleeve of Colt M1908 is a large triangle, and the entire bumper head is stuck into the gap when the safety is closed;
The FNM1906 has a small square fuse at the bottom of the sleeve, and a small bump above the bumper snaps into the notch when the fuse is closed.
Moreover, the tail of the manual bumper of Colt M1908 is sharper, and the bumper can be rotated counterclockwise after pulling the sleeve, and the sharp corner of the tail is snapped into a small gap at the bottom of the sleeve to realize manual hang-up;
Although FNM1906 can also be manually hung up, this function is still achieved by using the bulge above the bumper head.
The surface material of the Colt M1908 is blue and nickel plating, of which the early products used a very dark, almost black blue, and the surface is polished, like a piano lacquer black and shiny, and the barrel of this early model is also blue.
The late-production Colt M1908 was blued closer to dark blue, the barrel was changed to nickel plating, and the exposed part of the shell window was nickel white.
According to different production batches, Colt M1908 has used three kinds of grip pieces.
The earliest style of the grip piece is made of black hard rubber, the top is curved, with the word COLT and a Lima pattern, and there is a transversely elongated artistic letter C behind the Lima, like an eye, C is naturally the abbreviation of COLT;
The grip of the second style is still made of black ebonite, but the top is square, and the elongated letter C on the back of the logo is canceled, and there is only one horse.
The material of the third grip piece is changed from black hard rubber to walnut, the color is brown-red, and the surface has a diamond-shaped grid anti-skid pattern, and the Colt logo immediately becomes a small copper piece inlaid on the grip piece.
In addition to these three standard grip pieces, Colt also offers grip pieces made of mother-of-pearl, ivory and other materials, which are used in the customized Colt M1908 pistol.
After the birth of the Colt M1908 pistol, because of its beautiful and small size, the power was also launched at that time, and the center-firing .25ACP pistol cartridge firing reliability was better than that of the .22LR rim firing cartridge, and the retail unit price was $17 when it was listed in the ugly country market.
It was slightly more expensive than a small revolver, but it was significantly higher, so it was very popular and sold very well as soon as it was released.
It is considered by many to be the best small civilian self-defense pistol of the early 20th century, and even better quality than the twin sister FNM1906 pistol.
But Li Yaoyang wants the M1906, which is the version produced by FN, not the ugly version.
āāāāāāāāāāā
Salvatore hesitated in the face of Li Yaoyang's request for negotiation, and went to Roy to ask for advice.
"Lee offered to negotiate?"
"Yes, a letter from his henchman Ronnie himself."
"Confessed?" Roy said incredulously.
"Probably right? Taking the initiative to make peace, isn't it a confession? "Although Salvatore is very well disguised, he can see that he is in a good mood and it is difficult to hide his pride.
"It's not that simple, is it?" Roy was instinctively suspicious.
It's not that he is suspicious, but he is really scared by Li Yaoyang, and he can't believe that this is true.
"So I'm not here for you, am I? Can you help me analyze and see what his intentions are? In order to show his sincerity, that Loni said that the time and place are up to me. ā
Roy wondered:
"When and where you decide? This is not in line with his usual style. ā
"Really? I don't know, but I think I can see it, and I'm prepared for everything, so nothing should go wrong. Salvatore is clearly tempted.
has been fighting with Li Yaoyang for so long, he has never taken any advantage, and he has finally survived to this day, how can he not humiliate the enemy in front of him?
"Do you want to think again?" Roy was still uneasy, but there seemed to be no reason to persuade him to give up.
"Forget it, I don't want to, I can't lose my momentum!" Salvatore finally had a decision.
Roy opened his mouth and didn't say anything more.
ā¦
Three days later, Salvatore's 200-metre bistro in the suburbs was banned by his men.
Li Yaoyang took Xiao Er, Fat Dun'er, Loni and Roskov, and the five of them went to the appointment alone in a dashing manner, and on the surface they didn't bring one more brother.
They are all dressed in trench coats, suits, and cylinder hats, except for a slight difference in color, the styles are almost the same.
Entering the tavern, Salvatore's people immediately stopped him and asked pretendly:
"There are no private guests here, so leave quickly!"
Li Yaoyang looked at him with a smile:
"Are you sure we're leaving?"
"Uh..."
So, don't pretend to be B, pretend to be B and be hacked by J!
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and inform Salvatore that I'm coming!"
The man was red-faced, and went back to report it.
After a while, he came down to invite them in, but as soon as he entered the door, he was stopped again, and two big men wanted to come forward and search him.
Li Yaoyang is also very cooperative, this is all routine, and it is not easy to worry if he does not cooperate with them.
He opened his arms and let the other man fumble on him, one moment drawing a knife, the next a pistol.
"Okay, no, you can't let me take off my pants to show you, right?"
The big man didn't smile, and stretched out his hand to signal that he could go in.
After everyone was checked, they went to the clothing storage area to take off their trench coats and hats and store them, and then walked up to the second floor.
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
