The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 535 Revolver
The weather has gradually turned cooler, and a few yellow leaves have begun to appear on the tall ginkgo trees.

The autumn wind suddenly picked up, and a yellow leaf ended its short time in the canopy and fell with the wind.

During the "bang" life, the yellow leaf was shattered by a roaring lead bullet, exploded into countless pieces in the air, and finally fell to the ground.

On the martial arts arena under the ginkgo tree, Jiang Chuan looked at the shattered yellow leaves, looked at the pistol in his hand, nodded in satisfaction and said, "The accuracy is much better than the previous version."

The pistol he held in his hand was a new revolver from the Gun Foundry, still in the experimental stage.

The one Jiang Chuan held was just a sample gun.

At present, the large-caliber pistols equipped to all officers in the new army are powerful, but they also have many disadvantages: the amount of ammunition is small, only one round; the accuracy is poor, and it basically depends on luck at a distance of ten meters. ; reloading is slow, because there is no magazine or magazine, only one bullet can be loaded from the barrel.

Early human pistols were basically single-shot pistols, that is, one shot and one bullet fired. This kind of pistol has slow response and weak firepower. It can be used for self-defense, but it cannot meet the needs of the battlefield.

In Dumas's famous novel "The Three Musketeers", French musketeers generally carry three to four pistols, so that they can kill several people at close range.

In the novel "Robinson Crusoe", when Robinson went out to patrol the island, he also brought two hundred pistols, two rifles and a sword to deal with the situation of encountering multiple enemies.

At that time, European musketeers equipped with single-shot pistols had no obvious advantages over Arab cavalry or African indigenous armed forces, especially when dealing with flexible cavalry.

Once the cavalry rushed to close range.European soldiers can only use traditional cold weapons and bayonets to fight, and heavy casualties are inevitable.

The change of this situation was not greatly improved until the appearance of the revolver.

This revolver-fed pistol can fire five or six rounds in a short burst.If done correctly, several enemies can be dealt with at once.

Therefore, the emergence of the revolver has brought about earth-shaking changes to the weapon of the pistol, but it is said to be a revolutionary change in the history of the development of the pistol, so that all countries in the world at that time highly respected the revolver.

In addition to the large amount of ammunition supplied to the revolver, another very significant advantage is that it is extremely reliable.There is basically no jamming phenomenon. Even if a bullet fails to fire, the shooter only needs to pull the trigger again to fire the next bullet.

Finally, the revolver is very accurate, and it basically points to where to shoot at close range, so police from all over the world like it very much.

However, as a military weapon, the revolver has many problems.In military combat, both the enemy and the enemy have strong firepower, and the two sides often exchange fire continuously at different distances. Military pistols require strong lethality and high ammunition capacity, and this is the weakness of the revolver.

At the end of the 19th century, a 600-man American cavalry was ambushed by Indians.Since the U.S. Army did not carry a saber at the time, the only weapon was a revolver.

During the battle, the U.S. Army's revolver ran out of bullets in half a minute, and it took a few minutes to reload the bullets on a bumpy horseback.This time is long enough for the Indian warriors to kill them a few back and forth.

In the end, the U.S. military killed more than 300 people, and almost all the survivors were injured.

With the lessons of blood, the Americans realized the shortcomings of the revolver and began to develop a semi-automatic pistol that could shoot continuously in a single shot.This kind of pistol has a fast rate of fire, great power, and a large amount of ammunition. Apart from reliability, it is several chips higher than the revolver.

The world's first semi-automatic pistol is the Browning M1900 pistol developed by John Moses Browning, a master in the American firearms industry.This kind of gun is small in size and can be hidden in a trouser pocket or under an armpit without being found.

The Assassin Princip who ignited the First World War used this pistol to assassinate the Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, which eventually caused the loss of more than 900 million lives in Europe in five years.

Then, in the early twentieth century, the U.S. military called for bids for the next generation of high-powered military pistols.Browning developed the M1900 semi-automatic pistol using 11.43 mm caliber bullets based on the m1905 pistol.

Since this pistol fired Colt ammunition, Browning passed the sample gun to the US military for testing through Colt.

After four years of rigorous testing, the M1905 pistol has not experienced any failure in the continuous shooting of 6000 rounds of ammunition, even after being soaked in sediment and sewage.

What surprised the military even more was that this pistol uses 11.43 mm caliber ammunition. As long as this kind of bullet hits the target, it can completely lose the enemy's combat effectiveness. It can be called "the cannon in the pistol."

In the end, this pistol overwhelmed the sample guns of five other companies and won an order from the US military.Ultimately, the U.S. military designated Browning's fine-tuned pistol the Colt M1911 pistol.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan has always hoped to equip the troops with a military pistol that is more reliable, has a larger ammunition capacity, and has a faster reload speed.

The first thing he thought of was the Colt M19911 semi-automatic pistol mentioned above. This gun is a famous gun that has been famous in the world for more than half a century. It is loved by soldiers from all over the world.

The M1911 pistol is very good in terms of ammunition capacity, accuracy, and lethality. It can meet Jiang Chuan's needs. It is Jiang Chuan's favorite World War II gun, and it is also the pistol in the minds of many men.

Moreover, in terms of appearance, M1911's tough and mighty atmosphere is also very popular, and it also performs very well in terms of reliability.

There are so many stories about M1911 in World War II, it can be said that there are countless.In short, the story of this pistol in the European battlefield and the Pacific battlefield follows another anti-Japanese artifact on the Chinese battlefield-Mauser military pistol ([-]-ring box gun) can be said to be the two most famous pistols before and after World War II up.

It's a pity that although Jiang Chuan is fond of the M1911, and even the box gun is good, the gun foundry at the base cannot produce these two pistols.

In the end, Jiang Chuan could only settle for the next best thing and chose the revolver.

The revolver he used to test fire today is already the third prototype produced by the gun foundry.

The first two versions of the sample guns have some major problems, such as insufficient accuracy, or too small amount of ammunition and other problems.

After Jiang Chuan's continuous feedback and test shooting, these problems were gradually solved after upgrading various technologies in the arsenal, and finally there was this sample gun in Jiang Chuan's hands.

After many tests on accuracy, effective range and rate of fire, Jiang Chuan is basically satisfied with this gun.

The next step is for officers to test the gun themselves.

Once the tests are passed, an order is placed with the gun foundry and mass production begins.

　Thanks to the grand master for the reward of "I know what a name is good".There is one more chapter.
