Chapter 3: The First Pot of Gold
The most conspicuous piece of the gun rack is the Gatling machine gun that occupies a relatively large area, which is also commonly known as the Grimm machine gun in the Qing Dynasty, which is also the first pot of gold that Henry earned through it.
It was the 1933 holiday, and Bradley Sr. was still at the Fort Benning Army Academy, serving as the head of the weapons department, when Henry happened to meet Howard Stark, who had just founded Stark Industries, and came to give a lecture on weapons.
In the same year, Henry, who was 14 years old, took a letter of recommendation written by Howard and was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1936, when Henry was 17 years old, he received a four-degree diploma in biology, physics, chemistry, and electrical engineering, and developed it with Howard, which met the prerequisite for learning the skill of mechanical improvement.
Because learning the Grimm requires a front-mounted weapon, the M134 Gatling gun.
"This thing is now made as an ornament, with 160 kilograms of recoil, with twice the physical fitness of a normal person now, it is a target on the battlefield"
"Although the accuracy of the machine gun shooting has been improved, such a strong firepower is too arrogant and hateful on the battlefield, for the sake of his own life, in order to avoid the bullets flying in secret, it is better to wait for my brother to learn to move after he speaks~"
Thinking about how happy Henry was when he found Howard's elation in the design drawings of the Grimm machine gun that he took out from the system, and how depressed he is now.
Fortunately, this thing is not useless, and the machine gun and naval gun improved by Howard with the design drawings of the Ex-S Viper Cannon were packaged and handed over to Stark Industries in exchange for 10% of Stark's shares and 300,000 US dollars for the development and production of his other individual weapons.
"For me now, the most important thing is to ensure my own safety, and then I can think about killing more enemies, such as individual weapons that can be developed inappropriately on the battlefield, sniper rifles with high accuracy and long range, and automatic pistols for melee defense are the most suitable for me."
"No matter how high the martial arts are, you can knock it down with one shot!"
"When the level is not raised, it is better to be obscene (^.^)"
At present, Bradley Individual Weapons produces four main weapons: the M1 Bradley rifle, the UZI submachine gun to expand the magazine, the G-14 grenade, the RPG-7 rocket launcher, and the matching scope, armor-piercing grenade type of 200-meter range rocket.
"Uncle, how many orders has the company completed now?" Henry picked up the phone on his workbench and spoke to his uncle, John.
"Henry, you'd better find some time to come to the company, I'm too busy right now!"
"Now the U.S. military has completed 270,000 M1 rifles and 30,000 UZI submachine guns, of which 50,000 UZI submachine guns, 20,000 have been purchased by the Police National Guard, and 30,000 submachine guns have entered the domestic market."
"The order for 20,000 RPG-7 rocket launchers and 20 rockets has been completed."
"The most troublesome thing now is the orders of European countries, the demand has increased several times compared with the US military, and our production is far from keeping up, especially the M1 sniper rifle with a high-precision optical sight, which is only 2,000 units produced." John reported as he soothed his brow in the corporate office.
"The M1 sniper rifle can be produced slowly, and other weapons can all be started in three shifts, but they can't be produced, and they can be handed over to other firearms companies for OEM production, I don't think anyone wants to live with money."
The M1 Bradley costs $80 and sells for $120
The UZI submachine gun costs $150 and costs $200
The RPG-7 bazooka costs $60 and costs $100
The M1 sniper rifle costs $800 and costs $1,500
There are also grenades and other ancillary equipment
Henry silently calculated in his heart, unconsciously earning so much money, which is also the biggest purpose of Henry's creation of the company, it is easy to do things with money.
"The company has been in business for three years, and the total sales are $58.4 million, and in addition to the New York City government utilities and donations from the councilors, you buy vibranium and other metals from the government, and there are $11 million in the account," John flipped through his latest financial statements and reported to Henry.
"Okay, I'm already satisfied, by the way, did the equipment and vibranium from Dr. Myron McLean go to my lab?"
"It was all ready ten days ago"
"Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow"
"See you tomorrow, Henry" hung up, and Henry looked at the various different types of bullet boxes on the workbench.
9 mm caliber automatic pistol, revolver universal ammunition 999 rounds.
7.62 mm caliber rifle, light sniper rifle universal ammunition 500 rounds.
Finally, 12.6 mm caliber, heavy sniper rifle armor-piercing rounds, and 100 napalm rounds each.
"I haven't reached the level of learning ammunition improvement, and it's still too difficult to draw a scoop based on the design drawings just by relying on the gourd, and I've done my best for three years."
Henry opened the ammo box in front of him and put it into his backpack with a wave of his hand.
