Chapter 568: Three-edged bayonet, long-handled grenade
Finally, when Shen Mo's gun was tested and finally started to be produced in a fixed manner, nearly 15 days had passed. Finally, when Shen Mo got the sample gun that was tried, he thought it was a test gun.
Some look familiar.
This is really a hodgepodge rifle! On this gun, metal processing is the craft level of the United States during the Civil War, and steel is the level of steel smelting before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The loading of the bullet was the black gunpowder during the French-Prussian War in 1870. The streamlined design of the warhead is a modern rifle bullet.
The shape. But his shape is a double-barrel hunting rifle!
In general, in addition to having thunder mercury base fire and metal loading bullets, this gun is almost the same as the rifles during the Civil War. Basically... it is still at the level before 1800 AD.
The gun designed by Shen Mo is 1 meter long, 30 meters long, and the barrel is 1 meter long, and the total weight is 4.\n5 kg.
The upper and lower barrels are arranged vertically, and the butt and handguard are made of walnut. The barrel is made of hand-file knife-type sight and concave door, and a ruler is installed on the door.
A 40-centimeter-long triangular bayonet is also installed in front of the barrel by a hinge. This extremely sharp bayonet can usually be folded into the guardrail under the barrel. When used, it can be automatically locked.
This triangular bayonet is an extended and enlarged version of the five-six-type triangular bayonet. The root of the bayonet is as thick as a ring finger, and the sharper the further forward. When the triangular blade is formed, it uses die-punched steel technology. For Shen Mo's army at this stage, this bayonet has a simple manufacturing process. It is not easy to bend under the impact of the cavalry during combat and can penetrate heavy armor. Moreover, the wounds it causes are triangular and very difficult to heal. It is more than a knife of the same weight.
The sword-shaped bayonet is more tough and sturdy. So Shen Mo decisively adopted this design.
There are really many difficulties in the production of rifles. Now for Shen Mo's arsenal, the problem with steel materials is not serious. The most critical difficulty is processing accuracy.
Now in their factory, there is actually only one machine tool that is truly close to modern processing accuracy, which is the machine tool carefully made by Shen Mo himself.
In addition, in the past period, the products produced by several machine tools jointly made by children from Tiangong Camp and Uncle Jiang have relatively large tolerances.
There is really no way, they have too many problems that they need to solve in technology. The hydraulic drive speed is unstable, and the vibration generated by the machine tool itself uses sliding bearings. These technical problems are all problems that cannot be solved in a short period of time. In this case, when the parts produced by the machine are assembled, they can only rely on people.
Manual grinding method to perform assembly.
In desperation, Shen Mo had to improve the operating standards of the assembly workers during installation and commissioning, so that his guns should meet the standards as much as possible when they leave the factory.
After the first batch of 12 guns were made, Shen Mo immediately conducted a large number of test shots.
The final result made him feel relieved! Although the processing of this gun still seemed a bit rough, the two cutting-edge technologies, such as spiral rifling and metal fixed loading, this gun is not too bad.
After Shen Mo's test firing, it was found that the initial velocity of the bullet of this double-barrel rifle was about 400 meters per second, and the bullet fired was enough to cause damage to unprotected personnel even if it was 1,500 meters away. The landing point of the bullet within 300 meters was quite accurate. Since it was a double-barrel design, it was only two rounds at a time. The time for a skilled soldier to load at one time was about five seconds. In other words, the theoretical firing speed of this gun was one minute.
It was 20 rounds of bullets. Shen Mo shot and fired continuously in a rapid and continuous manner in the firing field. After two rounds were shot out, he used his right thumb to push the lever behind the barrel and bend the barrel and the receiver. After pulling out the shell, he quickly installed it.
Fill in ammunition and continue shooting.
After nearly one hundred bullets were shot, Shen Mo's face was covered with black smoke. The barrel with too high temperature had burned wisps of blue smoke from the front guard.
It was not until Shen Mo shot 200 shots in a row that he quickly threw the scary gun on the ground.
"Okay!" Shen Mo looked at the gun whizzing black smoke on the ground and exclaimed loudly!
The rifle in front of you can go to the battlefield with a slight modification! It can suppress the opponent's cluster charge by gathering fire at a distance of one thousand meters. Within three hundred meters, within its effective range, the rifle bullets can form an extremely accurate rain of bullets, killing everything within this distance.
enemy.
Although the production and design of this gun are still a bit simple, the advantage is that the firing rate is fast enough and the range is long enough, and it does not require too complicated operations.
As long as his soldiers overcome the fear of the early stage of shooting, they can use it to produce beautiful shooting results without too long training time. They will completely defeat the bow and arrow weapons of this era!
In this way, after Shen Mo's final modification, the first batch of 50 rifles produced immediately began to enter the army as training guns for soldiers to learn the use of this modern weapon.
Then there is the grenade, which is much simpler than a rifle.
Because Shen Mo had experience in manufacturing grenades before, the charge and detonation devices on the grenades basically do not need to be redesigned.
In order to save costs, this grenade designed by Shen Mo uses a cast iron shell. Because it is necessary to deal with heavy armored cavalry, the quality of the grenade's fragments must be appropriately increased. Therefore, the vertical and horizontal grooves are cast on the bullet body designed by Shen Mo, like a pineapple. There are 72 pieces of fragments in total, each with
The size of peanuts.
The internal charge of this grenade still uses extreme compression black gunpowder, and the design of the thunder/tube is the same as before. Shen Mo only changed the fire device to a fire pulling tube, and the delay time was extended to four seconds.
After that, in order to allow the grenade to be thrown further, Shen Mo added an extended wooden handle to it.
In this way, except that the charge inside is black gunpowder, the appearance of this grenade is almost exactly the same as the long-handled grenade used by the German army during World War II. In the foreseeable war, the 500 soldiers under Shen Mo would definitely be attacked by the enemy several times or even dozens of times. Therefore, once the grenade, a cheap and affordable weapon, was established, Shen Mo immediately ordered the factory to increase its strength to grow.
