Chapter 21 New Guns and New Cannons

Origin calendar I have been using recently [to be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple are OK. ] I have been using February 1987 recently and I have been using the day recently

Northwest of Gem Island, Solo Arsenal

"Omer, are you sure?"

"The semi-automatic rifle is fine, the factory director has also approved it. However, the bullet needs to be changed."

"Change it?"

"The main reason is that the factory director has an agreement with the colony team. We can't continue to produce any type of weapons and equipment that fire 7×57mm rifle bullets. The bullet production line must also be changed to another model that produces 6×56mm rifle bullets."

With the previous exchanges and cooperation between Director Farah and some colony teams, Solo Arsenal has received protection from some colony members who obviously have serious conflicts with the United Kingdom of Eri, plus some financial and technical support. Today's arsenal has undergone a simple reorganization for this purpose, no longer openly selling on the black market outside, and only selling to the colony teams of Gem Island.

So as a price, Solo Arsenal had to listen carefully to the opinions of the colony teams and began to put the first "legal product", the Yangman semi-automatic rifle, into production.

So as a brown-skinned Kalai rifleman, Sogen was the first to get a sample of the Yangman semi-automatic rifle by virtue of his friendly relationship with technicians like Omer.

"Hmm..."

Just this gun Sogen weighed it and combined it with the instructions in the manual. This rifle has an empty weight of 4.7 kg and a total length of 2.4 mm. The rifle that uses the gas-operated automatic principle is really a bit heavy.

But such a semi-automatic rifle is much better than a manual rifle, especially when it is combined with a 2-round detachable magazine or a factory-customized magazine. After feeding, he can consider selling the previous quick-pull rifle.

"It's a bit heavy, but this is the No. 1 sample gun that the factory director gave you. And didn't the factory director give you an extra 5 [To be honest, I've been using it recently, both Android and Apple are available.] Xifu bonus yesterday?"

"Isn't that just a check..."

"If you don't want the check, give it to me. Anyway, my family doesn't mind it being too little."

Thanks to the influence of the banking system from the Eastern humans, several exchanges have been established on the Gem Island that recognize Xifu banknotes, which are already part of the underground black market. Including the Solo Arsenal, Xifu banknotes are universal in all areas recognized by the colony team.

Although everyone can guess that some of the colonists on the Gem Island have actually parted ways with the United Kingdom of Eri. Especially after the Solo Arsenal became famous in one battle, the United Kingdom of Eri specially sent envoys to privately redeem prisoners with the factory director's sisters, and the colonial forces opposed to the United Kingdom of Eri naturally pulled the Solo Arsenal over.

The result of the failure of foreign wars and the failure of internal suppression is that the United Kingdom of Eri is undercurrent and turmoil. Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity that the United Kingdom of Eri has no time to deal with the Gem Island 67 kilometers away from its own land and the various resistance forces on the land that need to be dealt with, the Solo Arsenal naturally stepped up its weapons and equipment research and development.

"You... Omer, you might as well let me be your apprentice. It's too much of a loss to give you money."

"Okay. Anyway, you learn artillery very quickly. And you shoot quite accurately."

"Huh?"

So Sogen was helpless, but it was still very good to be Omer's apprentice. After all, Omer, as one of the foremen here, is responsible for testing the performance and actual effects of weapons and equipment.

And when he came to the 2 meter shooting range outside the arsenal, he acted as a gun tester in front of several senior technicians like Omer to test the performance and actual effects of weapons and equipment. 】Rifle test firing. He found that the recoil of the 6×56mm rifle bullet was quite light. This bullet has a diameter of 6mm, a cartridge length of 56mm, a total length of 7mm, and a weight of 5g. Although the rifle bullet was fired from the 6mm-long barrel in the previous experiment with an initial velocity of 62 meters per second, such a high-speed light bullet did not emit any gun flame.

"All ten shots hit the scarecrow target. Not bad."

"Hey, Omer, how did you manage to avoid any gunfire? The quick-pull rifle I used before was not obvious during the day, but very clear at night."

"Because we improved the filling powder composition of the bullet, and the spiral lines on the inner wall of the barrel were redesigned."

"I see. If this gun can be lighter..."

"That depends on you, the apprentice."

"I haven't recognized you as my master yet."

Having said that, he admired the Eastern humans for having such a high level of military technology, and he also felt more and more why the United Kingdom of Eri would actually enact a law to ban all gunpowder weapons.

"By the way, try this weapon. I'll continue to use the telescope to see if your artillery skills are good enough."

At this time, as Omer asked his employees to deliver a cannon mounted on a wheel frame, Sogen looked at Omer's smug look with disbelief.

"Omer, you... really think I know everything..."

"Other guards don't have such good treatment as you, and can be the first to use this newly finalized 75mm light mountain cannon!"

When he heard about this light mountain cannon, Sogen walked and observed carefully. After the previous battles, the power of a cannon is stronger than a dozen or even dozens of rifles.

Especially the shock wave generated by the explosion of the shell, it is not simply resisted by magic protection.

"75mm caliber light mountain cannon, firing large grenades?"

"Sogen, to be precise, this cannon is used for more precise shooting. Its shell charge is not as much as that of a mortar of similar caliber. Well, there is no point in saying more, try it yourself, use it to attack a target 2 meters away, I will continue to witness it with a telescope for you."

So, Sogen was following the instructions of Omer's employees and stuffed a 6.3 kg shell into the open breech. Then he closed the breech block and kept turning the dial on the left side of the gun to lower the height of the muzzle. Finally, he continued to pull a hemp rope and pulled it hard.

Boom!

"The power of this shell is a bit small. It's not as powerful as the 8mm mortars that have been used recently."

"That's just because you see that the explosion produces little smoke. It's also very fatal if you are really hit. And we build cannons not only to fire one type of shells, ordinary high-explosive shells are just the most basic. Like this 75 gun, I'm still thinking about how to develop armor-breaking shells!"

For what Sogen said, Omer, who picked up a telescope to observe, didn't think about it and preached directly.

"Armor-breaking shell?"

Although he had been in the arsenal for a while, Sogen still felt that there were many terms that he didn't understand; but he thought about it, armor-breaking shells, as the name suggests, are shells that can break armor with one shot.

"That's right. After all, this is the limit of our factory. If we can get more types of cannons from the human countries in the east, we won't be afraid of any team coming from the northwest."
