In the international shotgun market more than ten years ago, it was booming for a while, and it was regarded by many foreign hunting enthusiasts as a good gift for relatives and friends.
However, with the emergence of a new generation of new and improved firearms with built-in infrared sights, this five-shot series has gradually declined.
Of course, a five-shot knockoff shotgun like Fang Xiaoyue's is definitely not as good as the original.
First of all, due to the rough manufacturing process and raw materials, it does not have an automatic loading function. It can only fire one round and pull the butt to reload.
In addition, it can only use shotgun bullets, and its range has been reduced from more than 40 meters to 30 meters.
But having said that, the reduction of its various properties also makes its manufacturing process simpler, and the most critical point is that the raw materials are easier to obtain than the original products.
This is especially important in 1646 after time travel.
After all, in this era, there is no such convenient purchasing environment as before time travel.
Before time travel, as long as you had money, it was very easy to buy some high-quality seamless steel pipes for civilian use. You didn’t need to go to the manufacturer to purchase them in person. You could place an order directly online. If you buy more, you will get discounts, and you will get a thousand off for purchases over 100,000. Buy more and save more!
At this time, let alone seamless steel pipes, even the better Baisheng Iron was not so easy to purchase.
You don’t have any connections, and if you want to purchase in bulk, you can’t find a seller!
Among Ma Tianfu's gun-making machines is a machine that makes low-quality seamless steel pipes.
You only need to pour molten iron in to pull out the seamless steel pipe directly. However, the seamless steel pipe pulled out is not as high quality as those produced by regular manufacturers. It can be used to make a five-shot gun barrel, which can fire up to five rounds. After ten shots, the barrel may explode due to flaws in the barrel.
Of course, for the military team who are now anxious to solve the problem, let alone firing fifty CIA shots to explode the chamber, even firing 20 shots to explode the chamber in five bursts is still a good gun!
Five rounds were sent to the military team, and the military team looked completely different in an instant.
The previous military team looked like a group of hooligans carrying steel pipes and watermelon knives to chop people.
But now, each of them was holding five consecutive rounds, and they revealed a murderous aura that made the Ming army prisoners tremble all over.
After the Ming soldiers were captured and returned, the Provisional Management Committee was not prepared to feed them, but instead used them as the first batch of free labor.
A total of more than fifty people were captured by the Ming army. When they were brought back, the trucks were packed.
Now, more than ten of these prisoners have joined the military group under the influence of food and care, while the remaining thirty or so have been taken over by the agricultural group to participate in the reclamation of nearby forests.
In the eyes of Zheng Xiangdong, chairman of the interim management committee, this is a good start.
And that wise general is a deputy Qianhu of the Nanhai Guard Qianhu Station.
Well before, after the guard Qianhu learned that a group of bandits had landed on the nearby coast, someone proposed to send troops to encircle and suppress this group of bandits.
However, considering the execution capabilities of the Ming army, sending troops was a long process.
The dispatch of troops, among other things, should be paid for the departure of the soldiers, who should be sent to preside over the battle, and a series of other issues, which delayed the dispatch of troops until a week later.
After all, it will take time to ask for departure fees from nearby Qiongshan County.
If it weren't for the fact that this group of thieves were too close, the dispute over expenses between Guangqiongshan County and Weiwei Qianhu Office would have lasted for a month.
Of course, if he had a choice, the Vice Senhu would go back in time and decide that he would not agree to order his own troops to go on an expedition.
No benefit was gained, and he became a prisoner of this group of thieves.
Now the deputy Qianhu has no desire to confront the thief.
This group of thieves is so terrifying, not to mention what magic they used to prevent their archers from shooting even a single arrow. It’s just the self-driving truck monsters they control that have no horses or cattle. , enough to frighten Fu Qianhu to the point of peeing.
To be honest, if the roads were not so bad, the military team would have killed and maimed more than 200 Ming troops just by driving a truck.
This is not the future with traffic laws. If you get hit and killed, it's okay, but if you get hit and disabled, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
After being imprisoned for a few days, Fu Qianhu made a suggestion to Sun Xuebin. He was willing to use money to redeem himself.
How many? Five hundred taels of silver!
Fuqianhu gritted his teeth and made this suggestion with blood dripping from his heart.
Don't underestimate five hundred taels of silver.
In this day and age, silver is actually quite valuable.
Under normal circumstances, in the Guangdong area, merchants hire a waiter, which means food and lodging are included, and it only costs five coins a month.
In other words, a man who lives frugally in a year can only accumulate six taels of silver at most!
These five hundred taels of silver require eighty men to accumulate a year's salary.
Depending on the region, a bullock cost between twelve taels of silver and twenty taels of silver. This was due to the war and the slight increase in livestock prices.
In short, five hundred taels is not too little.
There was not much money to be had in the Nanhai area. The deputy Qianhu relied on those military households to farm the land. He had managed to accumulate 800 taels of silver over the years, and he had to give away 500 taels in the blink of an eye. It really made him feel extremely heartbroken!
But if he is unwilling to part with this kind money and is locked up here, who knows what will happen in Qianhu Station, maybe his wife will run away with the money.
After Sun Xuebin learned about this, he immediately submitted the matter to the meeting of the Provisional Management Committee for everyone to study and discuss.
After all, one person is short-sighted, but three people are wise.
Sun Xuebin did not dare to agree to this alone.
However, after the interim management committee met to study the matter, everyone unanimously decided that the deputy Qianhu could be released in the form of a ransom.
The reason is simple. The value of this guy being put back is much higher than staying here as a prisoner.
Either attract the other party to send troops again in a short period of time and beat them completely, or they dare not send troops again and live in harmony with the interim management committee.
Of course, the specific situation needs to be studied on a case-by-case basis.
After Fang Xiaoyue made more than a hundred five-shot guns, the interim management committee was undoubtedly more confident.
Indeed, these five consecutive shots can be regarded as a weapon for street fighting.
Within a range of 30 meters, a shot fired can cover at least several square meters.
As long as he is not wearing double-layer heavy armor, five consecutive shots will have an unusual killing effect at the ultimate killing range of 30 meters.
With these more than a hundred five-shot rounds, the military team has temporarily become a fragrant steamed bun that travels through the world.
