Chapter 377 Rifle, Bullet
"Well, this gun is very good! Although it can't be used as a sniper rifle, it's okay to use it for ordinary infantrymen! I announced that from today and from this moment on, our Jiuzhai Arsenal has another fist product - Jiuzhai Rifle!"
"And this rifle will be the main combat weapon of ordinary infantry in our security regiment!" Hu Yizhou put away his gun and said to the people present.
Hu Yizhou is not talking nonsense. Although the arsenal's semi-automatic rifles and assault rifles have already achieved stable production, even the Guard Company has been replaced. However, due to factors such as bullet consumption and bullet production capacity, it is impossible for Jiuzhai to fully equip semi-automatic weapons!
Even if the main infantry squads of the entire regiment are equipped with new standard weapon configurations of infantry squads in the future, those non-main lineups of supplementary soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, artillery guards, transportation baggage soldiers, cooks, communication soldiers, new recruits, etc. must still be equipped with bolt-action rifles!
Especially for the new recruits, the weapon of more than 1,000 newly recruits can only be bolt-action rifles! As for the guard platoons of the guard squads of each battalion and company, the weapons are still mainly submachine guns.
"That's great! I haven't been working in vain these days, and finally we have our own specialty. No one will say that we are repairmen anymore!"
"That's right! It's amazing to build submachine guns. When fighting, we are the ones who are mainly rifles!"
"Ahem, we can't compare to other people's semi-automatic and assault rifles..."
After receiving Hu Yizhou's affirmation, the workers and students immediately shouted happily, some sighing, some praise, some rectifying their names, and some who didn't open the pot...
Ignoring these people chattering here, Hu Yizhou called Han Xiao aside.
"Old Han, the rifle is doing well this time! But you also know that the rifle we made is much worse than the Czech horse four ring, especially in terms of accuracy, it is even more incomparable!" Hu Yizhou told the truth.
"I understand!" Han Xiao also knew.
"However, our rifle is much stronger than the Chinese official, and it is even better than Hanyang's manufacturing! As for the Japanese 38th cover, the accuracy and ballistic stability are slightly worse than that of the Japanese 38th cover. We have to admit this! After all, the Japanese 38th cover has a longer barrel and a smaller bullet caliber!"
"Although I added 5 cm to the barrel of the new rifle, this length is not enough to make its accuracy better. Its biggest function is actually to shorten the gap between the 38th large-scale gun length!"
"You should be clear that the Japanese have a lot of research on thorns. The 38th cover and bayonet are taller than them, so they have a very advantage when fighting for thorns! Our new rifle and our unique lengthened triangular military spear can completely compare with the Japanese rifle in length!"
"You also know that the materials and design of Zhong's formal are flawed. After a few shots, the bolts cannot be pulled. This is not in line with our combat philosophy! Therefore, our regiment needs to replace all Zhong's formalities, and the existing Hanyang-made, 38-large covers and other weapons will also be replaced!"
"And those hundreds of horses, four rings, cannot be used by ordinary infantrymen. We have to transform them into sniper rifles!"
"So, your short-term task is to select the best barrel made of high-quality barrel steel from the barrel workshop, choose the best materials to make machine gun bolts, and produce 2,000 of the best rifles for our group!"
"You must strictly control the quality and do the best of these 2,000 rifles! After meeting the needs of our regiment, you can appropriately relax the requirements and use those poor materials and barrels to produce some secondary rifles!"
"Don't look at me like this. I'm afraid of wasting materials, and it's also to provide more guns to our anti-Japanese armed forces! When you see the broken guns that fly 30 meters away, you don't know where they go. You know that my request is not too much!"
"In addition, although this gun is a copy of the Four Rings of the Family, we have added the barrel and re-designed the ballistics and rulers, so we can rename it!"
"Because it was made by a few of us, we should not just use the name of the person. Just use the Jiuzhai Arsenal to name it? What about the Nine-type bolt-action rifle?"
After Hu Yizhou said that, he looked at Han Xiao.
"You are the chief, you have the final say!" Han Xiao had no objection.
"That's good! Lao Han, in the past few months, you have worked hard and brought the rifle workshop! When our production line stabilizes, you find it boring and want to trick in other weapons you are interested in, and then find someone to replace you! What do you think?"
"Okay! That's it for the time being! Actually, I wanted to build a light machine gun at the beginning, but looking at our general machine guns, I lost this idea! The same is true for pistols, our Big Black Star is very good!"
"If I really have free time, I want to tinker with cannons! I found that in addition to mortars, our arsenal actually has serious cannons. I want to study this next step!" Han Xiao expressed his thoughts.
"Okay! I'll give you resources to study at that time! Whether you design or copy it yourself, it's up to you! If you can tweak the Krupp's 88mm anti-aircraft gun, I'll put it all over the hills of Jiuzhai!" Hu Yizhou said with a smile.
"Ahem... this is a bit difficult..." Han Xiao said awkwardly.
After leaving the rifle workshop, Hu Yizhou took people to the bullet production workshop.
After these days of hard work, all three bullet production lines have been installed, and even the one that produced the Mauser pistol bullet traded from the Jinsui Army has begun to try to produce.
As for the two traded by the Germans, one of them is being renovated and the other is being debugged and started production.
That's how it is. Sometimes it's not like you want! There are too many places to change the model of ammunition in an inherent production line.
For example, the copper plate for making the shell shell needs to be adjusted in size, the mold for stamping the shell must also be replaced and adjusted, the filling of the launching medicine, the manufacturing of the bullet head, the base fire cap... This is a system transformation.
Therefore, Hu Yizhou could only give up all two transformations and only chose to transform one, which is one of the reasons why the entire regiment cannot replace the semi-automatic one. There are not enough bullets, and no matter how many guns there are, it is useless.
Well, Hu Yizhou began to regret giving the half of the bullet production line to the military rabbits.
Fortunately, it will take some time for the military rabbits to come and transport them away, and the arsenal can still create another bullet production line like this during this period.
Even using molds removed from German machines, the arsenal can even build a production line with a semi-manual production efficiency than the original semi-manual.
