Starting from the bright sword to engage in military industry

Chapter 400 Chapter 399, fish and fish

Shotguns and submachine guns are also weapons for melee penetration. One is called a "trench sweeper" and the other is called a "trench broom".

These two guns, from the day they were born, have been used until the 21st century, and they are still indispensable melee weapons in the army.Of course, with the emergence of body armor and the gradual improvement of bulletproof capabilities, the status of these two guns is a bit embarrassing.

But what time is it now? In 1938, the body armor was still unknown.Therefore, Hu Changyi made a submachine gun for the arsenal, and now he is going to make a shotgun.

The Eighth Route Army had some shotguns, which were modified by Hu Changyi last year after reaming an old gun made in Hanyang. The caliber was only .410.

According to the standard, this caliber is used to shoot birds and voles. It may not kill a devil if it hits a devil, it will only increase a lot of wounds.

But even such a broken gun, the Eighth Routers also used it as a treasure. It is said that when fighting a bayonet, if you shoot it according to the devil's pile, the effect will be very good, so you don't have to know whether it is true or not.

In fact, compared with high-end submachine guns, the Eighth Route Army is more suitable for shotguns, especially for those troops who like to ambush.

Shotguns have many advantages. First of all, they are easy to manufacture and save materials. In particular, the shells can be made of paper shells, which only need a copper bottom shell and a primer.The warhead can use lead bullets, and steel balls can also be used without lead. The propellant can use black powder or single-base propellant.

What's even better is that its barrel is a smoothbore gun. Even if you don't use the equipment in the arsenal and don't have a deep hole drill, some old blacksmiths can knock it out by beating it with a turntable.It can be said to be quite pungent.

The most important thing is that the ammunition consumption of shotguns in combat is much less than that of submachine guns.

It's just that for some reason, Hu Changyi stopped using Hanyang to modify the shotgun, and even got out the submachine gun that consumes a lot of ammunition.

So why did he get the shotgun out again today?It's still time.

First of all, the arsenal had solved the production of light and heavy machine guns and rifles, and equipped the guerrillas with semi-automatic submachine guns. There was only 58 companies left. Hu Changyi didn't want to get them out yet, so he had time.

The other is: At least [-] waste barrels have been accumulated on the barrel production line, and these barrels must be used!

Yes, the scrap rate in barrel production is that high.Although Hu Changyi left enough redundancy for the barrel, the 6.5mm buckle can be drilled and changed to 7.62mm if it is dry, and the caliber can be changed to 7.92 if it is still useless, but it still cannot stop the emergence of waste products.

These waste gun barrels piled up there is also a waste of materials, and the remelting technology cannot be achieved, and the shotgun cannot be made after the hole is reamed-then the only way to unify the caliber is to drill the hole and change it into a shotgun!

It can be said that part of the reason Hu Changyi made the shotgun was to deal with these barrels.As for the caliber of the barrel, Hu Changyi chose 12mm, the caliber of the No. 18.5 buckshot.As for the type of projectile?Who cares about that?Just put 5mm steel balls into the bullet case, as much as it can hold.

It can be said that the guns that Hu Changyi made can be called shotguns, but the shotguns they shoot are not based on foreign standards, they are completely crude and simple, and everything is aimed at killing and wounding the enemy.

After drawing the blueprints, Hu Changyi began to think about who to hand over to make the products. After much deliberation, he still felt that the repair shop at the headquarters was good.Now that the machining workshop of the arsenal is vigorously producing Qilari parts, there are no important tasks for the repair shop, so let them come.

The arsenal only needs to send those discarded gun barrels to the repair shop, and there is also a deep hole drill over there, which can be done completely.As for who is equipped with the shotgun after it is built?Hu Changyi said that I was in charge of killing and not burying, and that was Minister Zhang's job.

The time has entered November, and the little devil still has not repented after suffering two big losses in Wutai Mountain, and is still attacking everywhere.Not only that, they also organized troops to launch a sweep operation here in the Jizhong Plain.

It can be said that after the battle in Wuhan, the little devil really focused on the security battle in the rear.

而在11月3日这天，也就是高洪口村被鬼子偷袭的第二天，358旅伏击鬼子蚋野大队的当天，129师跟115师344旅这边也没闲着。你不是偷袭我高洪口么？我们继续对着平汉铁路、道清铁路、正太铁路进行破袭战。

Counting it, this is the 11th sabotage battle this year, and the little devil has suffered enough.

But who told you to sneak attack us and kill our comrades?Then we will blood for blood, tooth for tooth.We will also attack your strongholds on the railways, and we will pick up some railways to go back to production.I heard that the arsenal made light machine guns?This can be supported, 5 rails for a light machine gun?Don't think it's too expensive, it's not too late.

"Five rails are too damn expensive? I gave you 5 rails, where can you get a light machine gun? Let alone a light machine gun, can you get a rifle instead? Besides, they brought 30 rounds of ammunition What!" Li Yunlong said as he sat cross-legged on the kang, reeking of alcohol.

"Commander Zhang, according to what you mean, can we exchange for 3 light machine guns this time?" asked Political Commissar Zhang of the Xinyi Regiment.

"I'm afraid that there are too many people changing, and the arsenal is out of stock! The day before yesterday, the headquarters notified what kind of gun stock model would be sent? There are clips, let us help make the gun stock. It can be seen that the arsenal over there Production capacity is limited! Hiccup..." Li Yunlong hiccupped.

"Then, commander, what should we do? Should we change grenades? Change bullets? Or heavy machine guns? I heard that a heavy machine gun needs 8 rails to replace one, which is cheaper than a light machine gun." Political Commissar Zhang asked.

"I said political commissar, you still don't understand that kid Hu Changyi! I dare say that as long as he tries hard to make a weapon, he can make weapons that his guerrillas can't equip in a month. And that The kid will always save some money when he does things."

"This time, we don't change the grenades, we can make them in our own weapon workshop; we don't change the bullets, the reloaded ones, plus the captured ones, are enough; we can change four semi-automatic rifles back, and give them If a military expert comes back from the arsenal, he will be able to make horse rifles!"

"Didn't you always talk about giving fish and giving fish, we want someone who can catch fish!" Li Yunlong said after making a decision.

"It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish! Forget it, you don't understand what I said, but I understand, let's arrange it!" Political Commissar Zhang finished speaking, glanced at Li Yunlong's wine bottle, and reached out to grab it in his hand just walked out,

"Everything in life, I have the final say..." The political commissar's voice came from outside the door.
