In this era, the loading method of the lever rifle was not conducive to lying down, so it was eventually eliminated by the cruel battlefield.
However, this does not mean that this thing is useless. It can be said that this rifle was still a very advanced weapon at this time.
At least, from Tang Mo's understanding, this thing has many application scenarios: First, it is a pretty good and elegant shotgun. As a plaything, it is very delicate and expensive, which is in line with the requirements of the nobles.
Secondly, before the invention of the submachine gun, this weapon that could dump a large amount of ammunition in a short period of time was also the first choice for individual soldiers to defend themselves in the field.
An ordinary ranger or mercenary can purchase such a weapon to make up for the lack of firepower. With a revolver, it can fully cope with most combat environments.
In this kind of encounter, the disadvantage in range no longer exists, and the complex mechanism, difficult maintenance and expensive price are not a problem.
What's more, the lever rifle is the front-end technology point of the shotgun. Only by mastering this set of technology can the production of shotguns in the future be more comfortable.
Because of this, Tang Mo put the rifle back on the table with some regret, and said helplessly: "In fact, this weapon is not suitable for large-scale deployment of troops because it is too complex, expensive, and easy to deploy. break down."
"In terms of range, it doesn't have much advantage." Tang Mo thought of the flat-head bullets and felt that this kind of thing was really not suitable for large-scale deployment.
However, what he thinks is not suitable, maybe someone else thinks it is suitable - Cyric, who is in a hurry and seeks medical treatment, may think that these weapons are worth investing in.
Tiger looked at the beautiful rifle with some pain, and sighed with regret: "But..."
"It's nothing, believe me, no one knows weapons better than me." Tang Mo directly denied the wrong path with the perspective of a latecomer.
He pointed at the lever rifle called the K2 rifle and said without hesitation: "We will sell this weapon to the outside world. No matter who is willing to pay, we can sell it to him."
The scene fell into silence again, because everyone was still thinking about Tang Mo's words. Tang Mo was ready to sell such an advanced weapon without hesitation, which made them wonder what Tang Mo was thinking.
Only to hear Tang Mo continue to introduce: "However, what we really want to introduce are the following three weapons."
"While developing the fuse of the C64 field gun, we also came up with a very useful little thing..." Tang Mo said, taking out a fuse from his pocket, like a small capsule, and placed it on the table. Go up and let everyone see clearly.
He pointed at this thing, which was about the size of his little finger, and introduced it to everyone: "This thing is called a firing device. It can detonate by pulling and ignite all the surrounding gunpowder."
As he spoke, he motioned to Parker to take out the contents of his pocket. After Parker placed a wooden handle grenade on the table, Tang Mo continued to introduce: "So, we created a brand new individual weapon and named it: 'Grenade'! You can also call it a grenade. . Its exact name is Datang Group’s B1 wooden handle grenade, which sounds nice, doesn’t it?”
After briefly demonstrating how to use it, Tang Mo placed the unloaded grenade in the middle of the table: "It can be thrown and explode like a cannonball. This thing gives the soldier individual suppressive firepower. It is A very versatile individual weapon!”
Of course, he couldn't let Parker bring a real grenade in, so it was just a prop for demonstration and had no explosive function.
As for why a wooden-handled grenade was used, it was a completely arbitrary choice. After all, this thing was so graphic. If it were not designed this way, Tang Mo would have felt sorry for his own aesthetic.
That's right, the wooden handle grenade used by Tang Mo is closer to the grenade produced by the people in the old area during the Anti-Japanese War. The wooden handle of this kind of grenade is shorter than the German grenade and easier to produce.
First of all, he had to take care of some of his woodworking industry, and at the same time, he also needed to take care of the past life complex deep in his heart, so he finally chose such an interesting grenade as the first grenade weapon born in this world.
It may not be the best, but it definitely meets Tang Mo's requirements: it is simple and easy to produce, easy to throw and use, and is not as bulky as the German wooden handle grenade and difficult to carry.
"I have already written to the Earl, and a new order will be sent soon. It is estimated that he will purchase 3,000 such grenades, which will allow some of our factories to continue operating." Tang Mo said, He picked up the most interesting-looking long gun and introduced it: "The third weapon is this! It is the brand new individual weapon that we are really preparing to transform into production, the K3 rifle! The full name is Datang Group K3 rifle."
This is the KAR98K bolt-action rifle that Tang Mo copied based on the drawings. This is also his personal preference.
It can be said that this rifle was almost a representative of bolt-action rifles during World War II, and it was a representative with less distinctive personality.
The Mosin-Nagant rifle of the same era also had no technical features and was as mediocre as anything else.
The Lee-Enfield rifle has distinctive features, but its cost is expensive and its training is cumbersome. In terms of equipment quantity, it is not as good as the KAR98K rifle and Mosin-Nagant rifle.
After thinking about it, Tang Mo decided to use the KAR98K rifle from Mauser Company because he liked the KAR98K very much and collected one of these antique rifles before traveling through time.
Being able to imitate this kind of weapon again in this world gave Tang Mo a somewhat familiar feeling. He stroked the body of the rifle and introduced to everyone: "This weapon has a total length of 1110 mm, a barrel length of 600 mm, a standard weight of 3.9 kg, and a brand-new design."
"It uses an 8 mm caliber and has four rifling lines. The manufacturing process is very complicated, so it cannot be mass-produced for the time being." He pulled the bolt, and his movements were as smooth as possible.
There is no way. The production lines currently opened in Tang Mo's factory are really too complicated. He has several production lines producing the K1 rifles that Beiling urgently needs, and he is planning to use a factory to produce K2 lever rifles.
In addition, he also has a revolver production plant under construction, and the revolver factory has only been put into production less than half a year ago.
At the same time, he also has a rail production workshop, a train parts production workshop, a train assembly workshop, plus a chemical production workshop and a steam engine production workshop...
The huge Datang Group now supports a population of five thousand, which far exceeds the word "workshop" used to describe the scale of production in this world.
Tang Mo now uses factory to describe his company, and even in later generations, this company is already considered a large-scale enterprise.
A full 5,000 people were scattered across the land purchased by Tang Mo, making the land seem a bit overcrowded.
How fast is Tang Mo's factory construction speed? The cement produced by the cement workshop in Bunas can no longer meet the expansion speed of the Tangmo factory.
On the muddy land, factories were built one after another, chimneys were erected one after another, and ravines were dug one after another.
Tang Mo laid pipes in the factory and connected the wires. As soon as his lighting system is developed, electric lighting can be installed in almost all factories.
Therefore, Tang Mo's factory now produces too many types of things, so he already has the idea of splitting his factory.
After a series of operations, he put the gun back on the table: "However, it represents the future! Gentlemen! This weapon will become the best rifle in our hands for a long time to come! "
After finishing speaking, he pulled out a revolver from his armpit. He put the gun on the table and introduced to everyone: "This is a modified revolver and it is also our latest product. "
"Like the revolver, it can also fire continuously. It is a very convenient individual weapon!" After finishing speaking, he opened the magazine and poured out the bullets inside.
"The reason why we can produce so many new weapons is actually based on the innovation and progress of ammunition technology!" He pointed to the ammunition on the table and explained to everyone: "We will use metal fixed-loading ammunition in the future. technology, and supporting smokeless gunpowder technology!”
"Next spring, our new factories will be put into production, and brand-new gunpowder will be produced in those factories. With the support of these ammunition production workshops, we can use these more advanced weapons and equipment!" he said, While loading these bullets into his pistol one by one, he shook the gun body and let the bullet nest snap back into the gun body: "See? It's easy to load and easy to use! This... is a weapon! This is This is what a weapon...should look like!"
"In the new year! I hope everyone will remember one fact! We are already the most advanced weapons manufacturer in the world! No one can shake our position! And no one can...defeat us in our field. !" He said, stood up, held his head high, and received warm applause from everyone.
Amidst applause, the door was pushed open from the outside. The young apprentice Garza ran to Tang Mo, leaned against Tang Mo's ear, and reported in a low voice: "Someone from the dock said that a ship from Yang The big ship of the Wood Kingdom has docked, and there is an elf on it who wants to see you."
