On December 31st, 1916, at 2:22 pm, everyone in the arsenal of Sea Sand Mountain was staring at the production line. The parts that had been repaired had long been prepared. The temperature was rising, and a hot atmosphere was gradually driving people crazy. However, behind this patience was a huge joy. This was the progress of an era, the pride of Zhang Xueze. The first rifle with independent property rights, this would be the northeast. It was even a great leap forward for the entire nation!
Even though the introduction of Hanyang rifles had given the Republic of China some confidence, the Hanyang rifles were inferior to the original Type 88 Committee Rifle. Moreover, the domestic manufacturing level was one level lower, so the quality of the domestic Hanyang rifles was even more uneven!!
Suddenly, the gun barrel, which had been specially crafted, was placed into cold water. It quickly cooled down, and the sizzling sound filled the air with white fog. The old master's technique was extremely skilled because they used to make bird guns. Although the production process of rifles was more complicated, there were many similar effects. Moreover, with the rifle design drawings provided by Zhang Xueze, the details were also printed clearly. With the help of the two firearms engineers who had been manufactured in the barracks, Zhang Xueze understood the principle behind it. Although the production speed of the first rifle was already very slow, slow work made fine work. Zhang Xueze understood this principle!
Dismantling, assembling, barrel, gun spirit, magazine, and even the V-shaped crosshair. The quick movements of the old master allowed Zhang Xueze to see a complete rifle. It was about to appear in front of him. Zhang Xueze originally thought that he would face all of this calmly, but at this moment, his breathing became heavier and his breathing became turbid!
Perhaps to the European and American powers, Japan, and Russia, a rifle was nothing. However, to the backward Republic of China and the backward Northeast, the successful production of a rifle was exciting news for the people. Zhang Zuolin had been thinking happily that he had cheated a rifle design drawing from Zhang Xueze for 20,000 yuan. This business was profitable. With the production capacity of Fengtian Munitions Factory, as long as he mastered the technology, he could produce 100, 1,000, or even 10,000 rifles. As long as there were enough materials, they could continuously produce rifles to arm the army!
As the temperature dropped, the lines of the rifle became more apparent. The thick butt was heavy, which made Zhang Xueze admire it more and more. He immediately took the rifle and held it tightly with both hands. The texture of walnut wood was indeed able to withstand the test!!
"Rotary recoil mechanism, five internal magazines, caliber 7.92mm, length 1162mm, barrel length 623mm, maximum firing rate of 15 rounds per minute, bullet exit speed of 768m per second, effective range of 800m. Regiment commander, the basic data has met your requirements. I can guarantee that in the current era, even if compared to the European and American countries, the shooting performance of this rifle is definitely not inferior. According to the current scale and production machine of the arsenal, we can produce 300 rifles per month and 100,000 rounds of bullets. Although compared to the production in Europe and America, the production of the Seashore Arsenal is still ranked high in our country!!”
Beside him, the firearms engineer, Gu Weide, carefully explained the main performance data of the rifle. His eyes flashed with pride. Although it was made from the Red Police barracks, the engineer had more feelings than the Red Police soldiers!
Zhang Xueze seemed to be caressing his beloved woman. Indeed, for elite soldiers, rifles were their most loyal companions, more loyal than women!!
"Let's go to the shooting range!"
The shooting range was set up in another hollowed out cave in the mountain. It was a hidden place, especially the blockade of the outside world, allowing Zhang Xueze to secretly develop the military factory and produce weapons!
A 50-meter target!
Zhang Xueze raised his gun abruptly and pressed his right index finger on the trigger. His gaze was fixed. He could vaguely feel that the rifle had some flaws. For example, the trigger was not very comfortable to pull. This needed to be improved. Then, he pulled the bolt and loaded the gun. There was a strange sound that seemed to be a little ear-piercing. Clearly, the bolt position was not perfect!
In the end, Zhang Xueze pulled the trigger. A hurried and crazy explosion sounded, causing the butt of the gun pressed against Zhang Xueze's right shoulder to tremble violently. The huge rebound force caused Zhang Xueze's body to sway slightly, but that was all!
The pupils of the two guards beside him widened. The recoil of the rifle was still an experimental version. It only caused the regiment commander's figure to sway slightly. One could imagine how abnormal the regiment commander's physical fitness was!
Bang!
A loud explosion rang out in the entire shooting range. The bullet collided with the firing pin and ignited the gunpowder at the end. It spun through the rifling. After the huge shooting energy passed through the muzzle, it was like an orange flame that surged out!
Fifty meters away, a target that had been prepared was shattered in an instant. The destructive power of a 7.92mm caliber bullet was too great. In a close-range battle, it could probably shatter a person's bones directly instead of piercing a hole!
At the same time, Zhang Xueze turned around and fired four bullets. The built-in magazine for five bullets was the current world's mainstream rifle magazine!!
The accuracy of the bullet trajectory was quite reliable. Moreover, the sound of the shot could make the blood in his body surge!!
Five minutes was the time for the first rifle experiment. Zhang Xueze had also figured out the flaws and advantages of this rifle. Therefore, he should inform Gu Weide of these advantages and disadvantages. After all, he was the person in charge of the military factory. He would be the one to improve the next mass production rifle!
Turning around, Zhang Xueze and Gu Weide entered the office!
"I'll tell you about the rifle's flaws later. Now, let's talk about what flaws you found during the manufacturing process. If there's a problem, you have to solve it.”
Gu Weide nodded in agreement. Some flaws were unavoidable. For example, the rifle production line and the industrial machine tools used to produce parts were not of high precision. Therefore, the precision level of the parts was also a little poor!
