Chapter 2: Crafting Equipment
Along the way, I felt the characteristics of the 1940s in the United States, and smoothly arrived at a medium-sized villa near the New York University campus on Long Island in Manhattan, and drove directly into the villa and parked at the door of the villa.
"Henry, I didn't expect you to come back so soon, dinner is not ready yet, are you hungry?"
"I'd like to see you sooner, Mommy," Henry put down his backpack at the door of the villa and gave Mary a big hug.
After so many years, Henry has become accustomed to American expressions, and even more accustomed to Mary's hugs and kisses, and he can't refuse to resist and has to get used to it.
"Still so handsome and strong, you are my most perfect work... One of the "Mary saw the corners of Elizabeth's mouth that had been lifted from the corner of her mouth immediately behind, and hurriedly added.
"I'll go up and rest for a while, and call me for dinner," Elizabeth said, changing into her slippers, and speaking to Mary.
"I'll go up and call John to find out what's going on in the company, and I'll come down for dinner," Henry said goodbye with a kiss on the side of Mary's cheek
"Go ahead, dinner will have to wait a while"
Henry strapped himself on his backpack and walked after Elizabeth to his room on the second floor.
Walking to the corner of the stairs, Henry took out his wallet and pulled out a $50 sheet and handed it to Elizabeth
"Elizabeth"
Elizabeth turned her head and saw the money Henry handed her, and turned her back in embarrassment.
"Take it, I know that you are going to Manhattan to study now, and your daily consumption will be much higher, so you don't have to be too frugal when you gather with friends, and you can go shopping with friends when you have time."
"Thank you, brother"
Elizabeth took the dollar from Henry's hand, happily gave Henry a big hug, turned around and hopped back to her vacation.
The Henry family moved to Long Island in 1937, and Bradley used to be responsible for the family's expenses alone, and was in the army all year round, and Mary had to take care of Henry and Elizabeth's two children at home, so she was not wealthy, not to mention that now she has moved to Manhattan.
Henry first went back to the room and put down his backpack, changed out of his military uniform, chose a T-shirt and jeans, and turned around and walked to the basement.
In the back part of the villa, except for the housekeeper who arranges someone to clean it, no one else in the family comes. There is a gym designed by Henry himself, which mainly displays cold equipment such as Mo knives, Japanese knives, Nepalese army sabers, daggers, etc., as well as sandbags, wooden stakes, and tactical half-fingered gloves.
Walk to the cloakroom on the side of the room, push open the middle part of the wardrobe to disguise, and an old-fashioned coded door appears, plug in the key, and turn the code.
With a slight "click", the door opened, and a corridor leading to the underground appeared in front of him, and as Henry descended through the corridor, the wardrobe and code door behind him were restored.
There are two floors underground, the upper one is where Henry usually uses to improve his equipment, and the lower one is a small shooting range.
Henry was on the upper floor, pausing and walking to the side of the workbench, behind which there were many models of guns developed in World War II and post-World War II.
For example, Henry's modified M14 Garand rifle, which is the M1 Bradley rifle in this world, is 7.62 mm caliber and single-shot
Ammunition: 7.62x51mm NATO standard rifle cartridges
Magazine capacity: 10~30 round magazine, 100 round drum
Bolt: gas-conducting, slewing locking gun
machine
Overall length: 1118 mm
Weight: 4.02 kg
Rate of fire: 700~750 rounds / min
Muzzle velocity: 850 m/s
Effective range: 800 meters
This is a semi-automatic rifle improved after World War II, which is an improved reloading method on the M1 Garand rifle, using magazine loading, which cannot be fired continuously so that this rifle has only been in service for a few years, but equipped with a scope, the M14 relies on its own high accuracy and long range advantages, but it has found its own "second spring" on the sniper battlefield. The U.S. military later converted the M14 into the M21 semi-automatic sniper rifle.
In addition, in order to grab the Thompson submachine gun army order, the Israeli UZI submachine gun was copied from Israel, with a caliber of 9 mm and a common magazine capacity of 20, 25, 32, 40 and 50 rounds, which is light and reliable
Full gun mass: 3.5 kilograms (kg)*including magazine
Overall Length: 470 mm
