The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

The Eastern Front and even the entire six countries do not have a great demand for rapid-fire weapons. there are many reasons. In general, the national strength is not as rich as Qin.

The price of a smokeless gunpowder bullet is around 80 cents. If the bullet is tight. Then the price is likely to soar to one round and one half-two. A bullet is not a bullet. It's money. None of the six countries owns and produces by itself like Qin. And there is such a complete industrial system.

Qin State's weapons production started day and night. It's not just the needs of the six countries. There are also huge military orders. Especially in firearms manufacturing. More than 300 million rounds of 0.35 caliber ammunition were ordered for smokeless powder and ammunition. The order of this batch of bullets meant that Qin officially replaced the original black powder bullets with smokeless powder bullets.

A large number of machine guns are produced to match it. The emergence of automatic and semi-automatic weapons. Let the demand for bullets rise substantially. Especially machine guns. The northern part of Qin State was heavily equipped with various machine guns. The long-term war experience told Qin Jun. The machine gun is the best weapon against the northern nomads. This kind of automatic weapon that can shoot 400 to 500 rounds of ammunition in one minute can effectively break the Xiongnu's mass charge.

to this end. Qin's machine gun developed extremely rapidly. In particular, various machine guns have appeared one after another. This is the credit of the Qin State Science and Patent Office. The Qin State Patent Office issued huge fines on several commercial cases involving patent infringement within one year. The most typical is the "D" model of the United Automobile Manufacturing Plant. The Patent Office considered that it violated the interests of the co-manufacturing plant and issued a huge fine of one million gold to the six auto manufacturers. This deterred the recurrence of patent infringement cases. In order to avoid patents. Almost all major manufacturers must avoid the obstacles set by patents. Simultaneously. Major manufacturers increase their research efforts. Set up different levels of technical patent barriers. Technical exchanges are affected. However, the product has been greatly diversified. There are pros and cons. Qin needs to make some improvements.

In this context. Machine gun designers need to bypass the various technical patents of water-cooled machine guns. So various machine guns began to appear.

The water-cooled machine gun is extremely bulky. Often infantry requires four men to move. Six people can form a machine gun firepower team. Cavalry units need to install small artillery wheels to move quickly. then. Air-cooled machine guns are introduced.

The biggest feature of the air-cooled machine gun is the use of heat sinks. The heat sink is mainly placed on the barrel and the position of the bolt. Increase the contact area with air to achieve the effect of cooling. The gun machine adopts the air-guiding principle of the Haggis machine gun. As a result, the total weight of the machine gun is greatly reduced. But this machine gun has not been published on a large scale. The reason is that this machine gun makes soldiers feel very unsafe. Another machine gun came out. Let this machine gun lose the need to exist.

This kind of machine gun is an air-cooled tube machine gun that uses a drill hole. This machine gun is an extended and improved model based on the Lilin-style water-cooled machine gun. The original water tank was cancelled. Air-cooled pipes are used. This kind of air-cooled tube is very conducive to processing and manufacturing. Punch holes in the external tube. Although the rate of fire has decreased. But if you maintain a certain shooting speed. The shooting time can be extended appropriately.

At the same time, in order to keep the barrel from being burnt by the bullet in time. The designers of the Li’s Arsenal installed the handle on the barrel of the machine gun. Just open the card case. The barrel can be replaced in time by rotating and pulling out. This is very convenient. This kind of handle shooting was originally used to replace the barrel. But in actual combat, the tripod is often discarded. Hold the handle in the left hand. Pull the trigger with the right hand to shoot horizontally. Small machine guns can be used. Because of the use of hand-pull trigger. The larger one is the pull trigger.

This is enough to see that the weight of the machine gun is greatly reduced after using the machine gun. This machine gun played the role of the class machine gun to some extent. But this is just a cameo.

A real class machine gun was adopted by Qin Guowei's mansion. The Wenyang III light machine gun was officially purchased by the biographical force. Machine gun orders have attracted the attention of many Qin weapon manufacturers. This is naturally indispensable for Wenyang Arsenal. With his personal connections. And the earliest use of smokeless powder guns. Yingyu was the first to obtain the patent for smokeless powder technology. This allowed her to get a huge military order of 200 million rounds of ammunition. She is still not satisfied. Think that the machine gun should also enter. But perhaps the machine gun competition is too fierce. The Arsenal designed two machine guns that were not very successful. Two of the models had to be discarded because they had some similarities with the fin machine gun.

Li's Arsenal took almost all orders for machine guns. The Qin Army plans to preach rapid-fire weapons on a large scale. They equip almost every division with more than a thousand machine guns. This is almost an upstart-style equipment weapon. But think about it and understand it. Qin's opponents are cold weapons. When the group charged. The speed advantage of rapid-fire weapons is the best weapon to deal with them. Another important reason is that. The combat units of the Qin Army are often deployed in companies and platoons. In order to achieve firepower advantage. It is necessary to popularize this semi-automatic, automatic machine gun on a large scale. A company requires at least six machine guns.

Lee's air-cooled tube machine gun. Qin State officially numbered it as a Type II machine gun. Although it can be used temporarily on duty with a machine gun. But his starting point is to fix the machine gun firepower point. Not mobile. and. This shot can only be displayed. Can't shoot fast. So under this demand. The Qin Army requested a light machine gun that could move quickly. This is the later three-type machine gun.

In order to obtain military orders for light machine guns, Wenyang Arsenal first acquired the patent for air-guided machine guns. Then the spiral heat sink design was used for the first time on the basis of air-cooled fins. This avoids the technical patent of the air-cooled fin design. At the same time, the weight of the machine gun was greatly reduced.

With these two designs. The Type III light machine gun was provided to the military for the first time. This machine gun is similar to the Czech light machine gun. The barrel is not removable. Use bullet chains for bombs. But this kind of bomb supply method often happens when the bomb chain is stuck and broken during testing. then. The designer changed to a magazine-type feed from below. The magazine is twenty rounds. In this way, the gun is somewhere between a rifle and a machine gun. He is heavier for the rifle. He is barely lighter for machine guns. But in order to reduce the burden on users. The Wenyang Arsenal used a fixed bipod in particular. the fact is. This design is redundant. In actual combat, the soldiers even took down the bipod. But the soldiers like his gun belt very much. The belt is very ergonomic. The triangle gun belt is used to effectively decompose the weight of the machine gun. As long as the hook on the machine gun is hung with a hook, it can be easily controlled. Very convenient.
