Utopia

Although he knew that he might be conservative in thinking this way, he always adhered to a concept in the arsenal.

That is safety first.

The minimum, most basic and most necessary requirement for weapons and equipment is not to hurt the user.

If his soldiers were injured or killed because the weapons in their hands were not safe enough during the war, it would be equivalent to helping the enemy destroy his combat power.

Even though he had seized a pistol that used a firing pin translation mechanism used by human pirates in his previous battles with human pirates. However, he did not dare to gamble. The firing pin translation pistol had a fatal problem: the shooter could not know whether it was in a dangerous state of waiting to fire by observing the external situation of the gun body.

It was not that his idea was too extreme, but that he did not believe that any guy with many hands would control his hands and not pull the trigger of the gun.

"Are you back?"

"Beth, let me ask you a question. If you didn't know that the thing on the ground was a gun, would you go up and pick it up?"

"Yes."

"Understand."

Although she didn't know what it meant, Beth understood that it would be better not to disturb him at this time. After all, as a male Kalai who is not a warrior but more like a weapon design expert, the Yangman semi-automatic rifle he designed is the standard main battle rifle of Negan's army.

So under Beth's witness, Sogen, who spent another night designing an automatic loading pistol, finished writing his third letter. Then he began to think about the shotgun, especially in Lyman's letter, he pointed out that the shotgun is another important material that can be used as currency and traded in the outside world besides the pistol.

Therefore, he thought of the automatic shotgun at the first time. But he had shot Ness's pump-action shotgun, which is 972 mm long, with a 457 mm barrel, and an empty weight of 3.5 kg. Recently, he has been using a 5-round fixed tubular magazine for ammunition supply, which is a temporary transition product.

Even if you add one round in the chamber, 6 rounds... An important reason why he developed the submachine gun at the beginning was that he disliked the small ammunition capacity of the shotgun, and the effective range was completely less than 5 [To be honest, I have been using it recently, Android and Apple are both available. 】 meters, or even only 3【To be honest, I have been using it recently, Android and Apple are both available.】 meters.

In addition, the length of the shotgun is almost the same as that of the rifle, and he himself wondered whether he should install a bayonet or something like that on the shotgun just in case.

As a result, the arsenal at that time made full use of it and directly used the pump-action shotgun as a grenade launcher shooter, that is, the standard weapon of the grenadiers.

To be honest, until now, he still thinks that this decision is very wrong. He even thinks that the shotgun itself should not be used by regular troops, but as a special equipment for home defense and security of certain important places (such as arsenals).

【To be honest, I have been using it recently, Android and Apple are both available.】

But what can be done?

The country of Negan is actually a separatist regime of the United Kingdom of Eri, and it attaches more importance to the development of long-range strike weapons and communication equipment than guns.

Although such a policy is not wrong, it can even be said to be very wise and correct.

You have to know that what a shell can do is far from being comparable to a bullet. And like the communication pendant he wore, it must be said that Her Majesty the Queen was really thoughtful.

Because compared to the Northwest, Negan has household registration files for every citizen. In addition to the communication pendant, he also has a business card that he needs to carry with him - all of which are because after his assassination, Her Majesty the Queen was determined to learn from the Eastern human country to establish a similar household registration system to deal with espionage activities to the greatest extent.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, he has plenty of time, he can take his time, and there is no need to be too anxious.

Just like he is not anxious about Beth's affairs, Beth's words... After living with her for a long time, Beth's hard-mouthed and soft-hearted character will soon be reflected.

Even Beth is an expert in cooking. Although he has not tasted anything personally, he can now smell the aroma of Beth putting various ingredients into a small iron pot to stew.

It's a pity that he has already solved the problem of dinner in the cafeteria of the college. Beth's dishes... Let Beth see her own results first.

"Well, this... Abu, you came from the arsenal, so this question... let's put it this way. Only our brown-skinned Kalai would care whether there is a problem with the gun in our hands, and whether it is easy to use."

After five days, Sogen, who consulted with teacher Mona, learned about the attitude of the academy towards holding equipment. Moreover, he himself felt helpless about the collection of his original weapons and equipment, and hoped to be approved to hold his own firearms again.

"So, do we have to hold a staff one by one?"

"Of course not. It's just that the academy has never tried holding a gun before. Well, let me take you to the dean to ask."

As a result, when they arrived at the dean's office, teacher Mona and Sogen saw Dean Lisa talking to two long-haired girls who looked similar but had different hair colors.

"Dean."

"Oh! You two, I've finished talking about the matter. You can do whatever you want next. I have something to do now."

So, Sogen found the ring marks on the foreheads of the two girls, and he shook his head, ignoring their curious eyes, and told the dean about his request.

"Dean, although the higher-ups allow every citizen to have their own self-defense equipment, there is no problem with weapons like guns?"

"Mona, of course there is no problem with this. Didn't you do the same thing before, bringing a submachine gun to work here on your first day? It's just that everyone is used to using magic to solve problems, so no one uses guns anymore."

After saying that, Dean Lisa naturally looked at Sogen, her face full of bitterness and embarrassment.

"Dean Lisa?"

"Ha... Sogen, I have some bad news. The firearms you brought with you were taken back by the Solo Arsenal. Because the Solo Arsenal wanted to take you away, but I asked Her Majesty the Queen to intervene so that you stayed in the academy. After all, the academy is relatively safe and has the ability to cure you. Therefore, your weapons and equipment will be fully borne by the academy, and you don't need to pay for them."

"Then I can buy a 5-round howitzer that I have been using recently [To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple are OK.]" Before he finished speaking, Dean Lisa and Teacher Mona's faces changed drastically. Sogen immediately changed his words and continued: "Well, for now, just a pistol. Rifles may not be very convenient, and they require more accessories."

"A pistol is good... do you want another knife?"

"Okay. Just the two-handed sword that I used in the arsenal."
