Chapter 324: Secret weapon

After Shangwen came out of the Xianyang Palace, he went to Wang Jian, because he wanted to discuss the lifting of the arms ban and organize the scattered gunmen into a militia reserve.

Shang Wen drove to the staff in a hurry. Wang Jian's house.

"Master Wei Liao is also here." Shang Wen hurriedly entered the door without anyone reporting. Shang Wen doesn't have that habit either.

"Oh. Mr. Qin didn't know when he was in such a hurry." Wei Liao said.

"Oh. I just came from Wang Shang. I just want to talk about lifting the ban on weapons." Shang Wen said.

"The king has agreed to follow the garrison line to the west of Daqin, the Yellow River to the north, and the Yellow River to the east. The outer line allows civilians to hold guns for self-defense." Shang Wen said simply.

"What?" Wei Liao and Wang Jian said, looking at Shang Wen in surprise.

"Nothing. Go in and talk. It's a bit inconvenient." As he spoke, Shang Wen entered the house by himself.

"What you said is true." Wang Jian asked.

"Of course it is true. And it won't take long for me to come up with laws and regulations in this area to regulate." Shang Wen briefly said the matter of allowing civilians to possess guns.

"And there is another important thing. Instead of allowing civilians to hold guns in such a disorderly manner. Their resistance will not be strong there. Instead of that. I want to make them into militias. Or reserve personnel. It’s also convenient to manage this way. At the same time, we can deploy them at any time, reorganize and expand them into active-duty troops. They can also become militias if they don’t fight." Shang Wen said simply.

"En." Wei Liao nodded.

"I think this method will work. In this way, Daqin's martial arts style will be passed on very well," Wang Jian said.

"That's what I mean. The most important thing is that you need to effectively control these places after the end of the war. The transfer of the army is very troublesome. When the transfer is over, our losses will be great. So. I need them to defend themselves. At the same time You can take the initiative to attack those stragglers. In this way, the army does not have to come forward." Shang Wen said some thoughts after the war.

"I think it will work," Wang Jian said.

"I'm here to discuss the legal terms with you." Shang Wen directly explained the purpose to the two of you.

"Mr. Qin, don't worry. Let me show you an amazing weapon first." Wei Liao said mysteriously.

"Amazing weapon?" Shang Wen asked suspiciously.

"Let's go. Just take a look." Wei Liao said happily. In the past, Shang Wen prepared weapons for them to see. But now they finally saw Shang Wen's expression. It is natural to be happy.

The three drove to the secret test site of Wang's Arsenal. This is where the Wang's Arsenal was developed.

"What weapon?" Shang Wen asked.

Wang Jian smiled slightly. As he said, he lifted the curtain on a gun stand.

Shang Wen turned his head and saw what was on the gun mount. Oh my goodness. Is this a Gatling gun that travels through time and space?

What Shangwen saw was the appearance of the Gatling machine gun. The difference was that this machine gun had nine barrels. The way of feeding bombs turned out to be chain feeding. Advanced design. Shang Wen was a little stunned.

"So?" Wang Jian happily watched Shang Wen looking up and down the nine-barrel machine gun.

"Pretty." Shang Wen said casually.

"Why the bullet is in a paper shell?" Shang Wen said puzzledly.

"Oh. This kind of bullet is easy to produce." Wei Liao explained. This bullet is also the product he secretly developed. This bullet uses a paper shell as a cartridge, and the bottom is equipped with a primer to detonate.

"Such a gun, we spent a lot of energy and financial resources." The two said happily. It turned out that the weapons developed by Wang Jian and Wei Liao were such multi-barreled machine guns. Their design scheme was not like this at the beginning. The barrels were arranged in a straight line at the beginning. Filling is also the traditional filling method at the beginning.

The reason for this product is to deal with cavalry. At the time of the last exercise. They found a problem. That's when the platoon gun fires. Firing density is very difficult to master. In addition, the effect of using shotguns at close range by artillery is not obvious. Only 30% of the shrapnel hit the target. As a result, it is difficult to effectively kill the opponent.

There seems to be a transitional weapon between the gun and the artillery. Wang Jian had this idea when he watched the exercise. So he quickly told Wei Liao this idea. Wei Liao is studying the Lei Heng given by Shang Wen. The two are combined. Started to develop a brand-new weapon to give Shang Wen a surprise.

After repeated testing. The barrel has changed from the original method of arranging guns to a revolver-like shooting. But the filling problem is still unresolved. The first method used was to use an iron plate. Insert the bullet in it beforehand. After shooting one board, plug in another board. But this design is still not ideal. Wang Jian was also very dissatisfied. The main reason is that the shooting operation is very complicated. This one needs to complete a very important question. That is lock-up. Lock but not shut. Closed but not locked. Such modern requirements still cannot be met. So they began to continue research and development.

The development of Wei Liao's bullets allowed Wang Jian's machine gun to enter another type of rapid shooting. Wei Liao's bullet is very similar to the paper-shell bullet that was loaded with the first post-loading in Germany. In other words, it is close to the modern bullet model. The gap is only a step away.

This bullet appeared. Let Wang Jian consider using new bullets to complete the design. The barrel starts to rotate from the original fixation. In the process of rotation, the mechanical principle is used to complete the lock. After the design is completed. After passing through the ejection device, the ejection of the bullet is completed.

The way of feeding bombs is a bit advanced. The chain-type supply of ammunition directly adopts iron sheet.

"Can I give it a try?" Shang Wen said.

Wang Jian indicated yes.

"Papa." Shang Wen turned the crank. The machine gun began to fire. But soon a problem came up. After the paper shell bullets were fired continuously. Or because of barrel problems. In short, it can't be returned. After continuous shooting. The barrel is full of bullets. This is very dangerous. If a bullet is fired. It is very likely to explode. This is for high-speed shooting weapons such as machine guns. Very deadly.

"The problem has arisen." Shang Wen disassembled the barrel and said.

"Bullet problem." Shang Wen pointed to the plugged barrel and said.

"The paper shell bullet is too soft." Shang Wen said.

"And after the lock. All the pressure is concentrated in the paper shell. This weapon is a high-speed shooting weapon. It shoots at a high speed. It is very likely to explode." Shang Wen said.

"I suggest to change the cartridge to copper. Our stamping machine is fully capable of completing the production process of bullets." Shang Wen said.
