After Xiaohu went out, Li Junhao picked up the shell gun and looked at it, just now he used the system mall to spend 14 gold coins to buy 5 new guns and 20 long magazines, at that time I didn't have time to look carefully, then I noticed that this is not the Mauser C96 he thought before, but the improved Mauser M1932, with improved performance, better craftsmanship and higher stability...... Compared with the C96, which was regarded as the originator of submachine pistols in later generations, the M1932 can be regarded as the beginning of maturity.

In his previous life, there was no military fan who was not familiar with the shell gun, although he was not that kind of veteran, but he knew a lot about basic things, and he did not have the luxury of having this classic firearm before, but at this time he was playing with it in his hand, which can be described as a wonderful thing.

The Mauser C96 is a military pistol launched by the German Mauser Arsenal in 1896, and is the world's first mass-produced submachine gun; Barge gun is a folk name in China, in addition to this name, there are also box guns, self-de, fast and slow machines, box guns, large mirrors, etc.

The C96 standard gun is 288 mm long, 7.63 mm caliber, weighs 1.24 kg, and is fed with top-loading magazines or 10-round and 20-round bottom-loading magazines; Because it uses a short rifle cartridge specially developed by Mauser, the muzzle velocity of the bullet reaches 455 m/s, and the muzzle kinetic energy reaches 576J (the power exceeds that of many submachine guns in later generations); The firing mode is semi-automatic and bursting, the rate of fire reaches up to 900 rounds / min, and the effective firing range reaches 50-150 meters; It has the advantages of great power, reliable action and easy use, and is widely spread in many countries around the world. China has imitated it very early and used it widely in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

The M1932 is a modification of the C96 from Mauser, and the basic characteristics have not changed.

After the advent of the Mauser C96, the German Army once ordered 150,000 9mm caliber C96s (commonly known as the Big Red Nine) in World War I, and actually delivered 137,000 before the end of the war - this is the only record of large-scale equipment of the gun in European armies.

The armies of European countries, including the German army, do not have a high evaluation of the C96, because from a traditional point of view, its weight is heavier, its shape is larger, its power as a pistol is too large, and its power is too small than that of a rifle, and its performance is not up or down, not high or low, in a word - it is not suitable for the needs of Western armies!

On the contrary, shell guns are very popular in the civilian market of various countries.

Another reason that restricts the mass adoption of C96 is the price! In the thirties of the 20th century, the unit price of the average pistol was only a few dollars, but the price of the Mauser C96 reached twenty-five dollars, which was really uneconomical.

According to common sense, European countries can't afford it, not to mention poor and backward China, but the Mauser factory has produced about 1 million, and other countries have copied millions, of which more than 400,000 original guns and millions of imitation guns have been successfully sold to China.

In fact, China's specific mode of warfare determines the special status of the barge gun in battle.

During the period of the Republic of China, because the economic strength of the country and the people was limited, it was impossible to equip a large number of advanced weapons in the world, and the number of submachine guns and machine guns was pitifully small. Although the price of the shell gun, which can be fired in a single shot and can be fired in bursts, is much more expensive than ordinary pistols, its firepower output at 150 meters is almost equivalent to that of a submachine gun, and it is cheaper, easy to carry, and more reliable to use, which is why it became popular in China throughout World War II.

In this process, China's local shrewd businessmen saw the business opportunity, a large number of imitations of the barge guns loved by all walks of life, not counting those workshop-style small fights, only in the regular military factories of the Republic of China, later generations have confirmed that the mass production of barge guns have Hanyang Arsenal, Gongxian Arsenal, Dagu Shipyard, Shanxi Military Factory, Chongqing Weapons Repair Institute, Hengyang Ordnance Bureau, etc., and combined with their respective specialties and needs, the caliber of imitation guns produced is 7.63mm, 7.62mm, 8mm, 9mm, 11.43mm and so on, as for how many imitation guns have been produced, it is impossible to count at all.

Even, in the thirties and forties, China once had a special professional group called gunsmiths, in Hebei, Henan, Sichuan there are many, one to several people, like walking around the way, for the local tycoons, the army, bandits, etc. to build guns, in addition to repairing damaged foot and machine guns, mainly hand-built or transformed barge guns, its quality is different, the vast majority of products are not as good as the regular manufacturers, but there are also unexpected boutiques, left to future generations, in the collection circle are sky-high!

At this time, the two Mauser M1932s in Li Junhao's hands are based on the original guns and are good products produced by the system mall, and the degree of sophistication is higher! He is confident that in the process of use, the performance of these two guns will definitely surpass the original guns!

Despite this, Li Junhao still put them down after playing for a while, for him, these two are still big and ugly, and he didn't like them at all! As for the barge gun's proud burst function, he remembered a phrase from later generations of military fans: "The best submachine gun is not as bad as the worst submachine gun in mid-range combat of more than 30 meters!" Instead of using a shell gun, he might as well find a Chicago typewriter (an American-made Thomson submachine gun) to synthesize and remodel!

However, then again, the shell gun is so popular in the Republic of China, he can be a supplier! He heard Xiaohu say that in the arms market in Shanghai, the price of the original Mauser C96 is at least 35 US dollars, and the price of the shell gun produced by the regular authorized manufacturers in Europe, such as Spain's Astra and the Royal Arsenal, is also 25 to 30 US dollars, and even the domestic Jin-made and Sichuan-made shell guns are more than 15 US dollars, and in the system mall, the quality is better than the original M1932 The price is only 2 gold coins!

2 gold coins is 2 pounds, and according to the current exchange rate, that is, 8.4 US dollars, the difference in the middle is huge. Even if he also sells it for $35, this gun is a better M1932 than the C96, and it is produced in a shopping mall, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed, so he doesn't believe that he doesn't know the goods!

Thinking further, if the performance of the M1932 in the mall is reduced to the C96 level, will the price be cheaper? Well, find a way to try.

Consciousness is carried out in the system mall, after groping for a while, let him find the trick, as long as he consciously intervenes in the mind when using the mall transaction function, he can really control the quality and quality of goods, reduce part of the performance of M1932, the price has been reduced to 1.6 gold coins! However, he didn't know if it was equivalent to the C96 level, which still needed to be verified, but the discovery itself made him firm in his desire to do the arms business.
