Chapter 665: Imitation weapon
After the extensive use of front-line assault tactics, the Qi army is regaining lost ground bit by bit. Tu Sui of the Qin Army Observation Group felt that the Qi Army was able to regain lost ground mainly because the morale of the Yan Army was low and unable to form combat effectiveness. Regarding the use of the pistol, Tu Sui one-sidedly believed that this was Yan Jun's expression of making excuses to cover up his incompetence. It was this prejudiced view that prevented the semi-automatic pistol from raising awareness in the Qin army in time.
On the contrary, Qi State is very fond of this kind of weapon, because this pistol is far stronger than the revolver, and the rapid shooting feel of its burst shooting makes Qi soldiers feel happy. As long as you pull the trigger quickly and continuously, the bullets shoot out like raindrops.
In order to achieve the effect of continuous shooting, Qi Jun soldiers also figured out a method of changing magazines for continuous shooting. This method of changing magazines is very similar to the current semi-automatic weapons. It's a bit magical, that is, when there is one bullet in the barrel, it will exit the magazine and then quickly replace it with another magazine. In this way, the effect of continuous shooting is achieved. However, this shooting method requires soldiers to abandon the short sword used in combat. But it is worth using.
This kind of pistol soon began to be used on a large scale in Qi State. During the entire July, Qi State purchased more than 7,000 at a time, and subsequent orders were also very large. However, the smuggling price of this kind of pistol is relatively expensive. After arriving in Qi, the price reached one hundred and a half two, and fifty rounds of ammunition were sent. Such a high price made Qi Guo had to study the disassembly of imitation pistols.
And Qi's weapon imitation workshops have also become popular. Because of the use of special charges, the bullets cannot be imitated without a certain chemical basis and industrial machine tools, while pistols. In particular, this semi-automatic pistol, which is commonly equipped, can be imitated in large numbers.
The commonly equipped pistol of Qi is the pistol 17 pistol shot by Wenyang Arsenal. The grip of this pistol is 150 degrees, which is very suitable for ergonomics. The gun body adopts stamping technology, which is very strong and durable. Moreover, there are few parts, only fifty-three after disassembly.
Use a flat-headed thick-blade front sight and a square or rectangular notched sight for guns. This type of sight is basically not used much, because this type of gun is used at close range, and as long as you keep your arms straight when using it, you can basically shoot opponents by feeling. And it's very accurate.
The gun uses a single-action launching mechanism and can only shoot with a single shot. Its firing and firing mechanism consists of a firing pin, a firing pin spring, a hammer, a hammer spring, an iron block, an iron block spring, a single firing rod, a trigger connecting rod, and a trigger. Among them, the single-engine rod is a rod-shaped piece assembled with the barrier iron. It can move up and down in a straight line, or it can rotate around the axis together with the barrier iron. There is a lug on the lower part. After the sleeve returns to its position, the single-spinner rod moves up into the gap of the sleeve, and the lugs mesh with the blocking iron. At this time, if the grip safety is pressed and the trigger is pulled, the hammer in the waiting position can be released . If the sleeve does not return to its position, the single-spinner rod is pressed down by the sleeve, and the lug is under the barrier iron and disengaged from the barrier iron. At this time, although the grip safety is pressed and the trigger is pulled, the hammer cannot be released. In addition to the above-mentioned functions, the single shot lever can also avoid the formation of bursts by pulling the trigger. The insurance mechanism is used for the firing and firing mechanism to achieve full gun insurance.
The structure is simple and easy to use, and it is this kind of advantage that allows this gun to be imitated on a large scale. Qin State did not restrict the export of steel. On the contrary, in order to earn more money, some special steels entered the six-nation market regardless of the consequences. From a molybdenum steel plate to a seamless chrome tube. Except for the lack of some machine tools, Qin almost exported all these gun-making materials to the six countries.
Instead of spending big prices on finished products. It is better to buy raw materials for imitation. This is the original idea of Qi people. They buy different materials. Skilled craftsmen use files, hammers, grinding wheels and other seemingly primitive tools to imitate the disassembled parts of the pistol by relying on the feel of one hand.
"Be careful not to scratch through." A craftsman told his apprentice. In order to make the sleeve of the pistol, the craftsmen of Qi State used a grinding wheel to grind out a track, then used a chisel and a carving knife to scrape, and finally used frosting to polish and polish, which initially had the effect of Qin’s punching machine parts. The Type 17 pistol made by Qin Guo was originally machined and cut, and later improved to a stamping process in order to reduce production costs. The material was changed from the original tungsten steel to ordinary high-quality steel. The barrel is refrigerated to make the barrel more durable.
The steel products exported to six countries have exactly this kind of refrigerated steel pipes, and the caliber is the same as the .50 caliber of the 17 type. In this way, an identical pistol can be made by completely hand imitation.
However, some materials still cannot be achieved by Qi Guo. For example, using plastic non-slip grips, Qi Guo cannot get such materials. They still don't understand that there is still such material in the world that can be produced. However, a simple non-slip grip cannot be difficult for Qi Guo artisans. The craftsmen used another material, veneer or bamboo instead.
After spending a day and a half to imitate the first Type 17 pistol. The craftsmen of Qi State began to experiment in mass production. Using machinery, Qin State could produce a pistol in one man-hour. However, the craftsmen of Qi country took a day and a half. This is obviously not up to the scale of mass production.
Qi State craftsmen began to recruit a large number of apprentices into the workshop to process this pistol parts, and then these parts were qualified for testing, and finally assembled. Standardized production is not new in Qi. When the female workers sew those airship airbags, they have already begun to use the uniform length unit for production.
The craftsmen of Qi State also made tentative improvements to Qin State 17 pistols. Mainly in terms of magazines. The eight-round magazine is not enough for short-soldier shooting in the trenches. Therefore, the craftsmen of Qi country simply extended the length of the pistol magazine. After the extension, the magazine changed from eight rounds to 13 rounds. However, the loading mode of the magazine is still single-row mode, not double-row mode. The double-row mode can greatly shorten the length of the magazine, so that the pistol in the user's hand does not appear to be so abrupt.
In any case, Qi State is doing everything possible to tap their potential war resources. The imitation of the pistol is one of the potential. They can use these imitation techniques to develop their own weapon manufacturing industry, which is very important to the country.
