Valley Emperor

Datang is using its technological advantages to make those indigenous countries completely desperate step by step.

Until now, even the Golden Kingdom of Tatar is very honest and continues to play with their flintlock guns.

Rear-loading rifled guns and front-loading rifled guns are fakes, castles in the air, they can see, but cannot touch!

And now, what these indigenous people don't know, Datang has set off a large-scale dress change!

This time, from a tactical point of view, this time change is actually not an epoch-making, because the weapons that the Datang Army is preparing for a large-scale change this time are actually not new concept weapons and weapons, they are still breech rifles.

The Firearms Division of the Army Ordnance Department has been working on an improved version of the Joint Rifle for many years.

This rifle is based on many features of the joint rifle and the Li Fu rifle, but one thing that still embarrassing the military is that the improved model of the joint rifle is still not as good as the improved model of the Li Fu rifle!

The Li Fu rifle has been successfully designed and developed for many years, and has begun to produce and equip the Guards. There is no need to say about its performance. Anyone who uses it can say it is good.

However, the high cost of construction and the even higher cost of use made the army and navy stop, and only the guards could equip it regardless of the cost.

However, with the gradual development of industrial technology over the years, the various manufacturing technologies of Li Fu rifles have become mature, and the cost is decreasing year by year, but it is still very high. Ten Tang Yuan.

So no matter how good the Li Fu rifle is, the military can't afford it.

In the end, I had to start a new stove and prepare a cheap version of the magazine for ammunition. The rear-loading rifled rifle using metal bullets, um, must be cheap enough to be used.

After all, these years, although the cost of Li Fu rifles is still high, the cost of metal bullets has dropped significantly, especially because the empire has developed several super-large copper mines overseas, and the price of copper mines continues to fall.

These all laid the foundation for the large-scale replacement of copper-cased fixed-loading bullets in the army and navy.

In fact, what the military wanted to equip at the beginning was the Li Fu rifle equipped by the Guards, and it was the latest improved version of the Li Fu rifle.

The improved version of Li Fu's rifle is quite good. For the first time, smokeless medicine is used for custom-loading copper shell bullets. At the same time, considering the technical continuity, ammunition reserve, general use and other issues, the caliber continues to use the 8mm caliber.

This 8mm is also the future standard caliber jointly formulated by the army and navy, including the Guards. If subsequent rifles are developed, they must basically follow this caliber.

It uses double magazines for feeding, which can hold ten rounds of bullets, and adopts rear-end locking. When the gunner is loading, the wrist movement can complete the loading action. Therefore, the rate of fire of this improved rifle is extremely high, and skilled shooters can shoot fifteen shots per minute. Shooting bullets is easy.

At the same time, the barrel is also made of the most advanced steel and processing technology, with good corrosion resistance, extremely high barrel accuracy, and extremely high effective range. Professor Li Fu even claimed that his improved rifle can accurately hit a human-sized target within one kilometer. , of course, this is the experimental state.

How should I put it, as long as you can aim and calculate the trajectory, the Li Fu rifle can hit a target 1000 meters away.

At the same time the barrel life is greatly increased.

And it can also be used in harsh environments!

The latest improved version of the Li Fu rifle is still technically ahead of all other rifle designs.

In the same way, it is still the best in terms of cost, ahead of all rifle designs!

Therefore, this thing is still only equipped with guards!

The improved version of the joint rifle that the army and navy are ready to replace, although it also claims to have adopted many new designs, but many things are left over from the Li Fu rifle.

And many designs seem to be advanced, but they are actually made to save costs.

Take this butt, for example, although the Army claims to have adopted the most advanced **** design that conforms to the human body, it can be said to be more in line with the shooting action of soldiers, but the life of the **** is still not as good as that of the Li Fu rifle, because this improved type Using cheaper wood...

Even the barrel life is not as good as the Li Fu rifle!

Because the latest improved version of Li Fu rifle, the steel used from the barrel and the processing technology are all top-notch.

The improved 8mm version of the joint rifle developed by the military has made a lot of seemingly advanced, but in fact cheap things, because the total expected purchase of this rifle by the army and navy is in the millions.

At least in the next two decades, the military's main rifle will be this rifle, and the cost must be controlled.

Therefore, for the improved model of the joint rifle, the initial purchase price is only 16 Tang yuan per piece. After mass production in the later stage, this price will further drop. It is also possible to purchase one 123 Tang yuan in the end.

However, the latest improved model of Li Fu rifle costs more than fifty Tang Yuan. The army and navy are collectively stupid, so they will purchase millions of these expensive Li Fu rifle equipment rifles on a large scale.

The improved model of the joint rifle, although it is similar to the latest model of the Li Fu rifle in performance, is much better for the many joint rifle 11mm rifles equipped by the military.

Since the beginning of the past two years, the military has begun to provide 11mm metal fixed-load ammunition for the 11mm version of the joint rifle. After all, nearly 3 million 11mm rifles have been purchased and equipped, and it is impossible to throw them directly.

Even for a long time in the future, the 11mm version of the joint single-shot rifle will still be the main equipment of the army and navy, and it will take at least ten years or even longer to completely retire.

After all, it takes time to change clothes. If you change 200,000 pieces a year, it will take more than ten years to complete the complete change.

But one thing is certain, that is ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The military has fully entered the ranks of metal ammunition!

Cardboard ammunition has been completely abandoned.

In the 40 years of Xuanping, the first batch of thousands of United Type II rifles were mounted on a military freighter. They set off from Shanghai Port all the way south, crossed the South China Sea, bypassed Malacca, and finally successfully arrived in Gehe Prefecture.

The 18th Army Division, stationed in Gohe state, India, will be honored to be the Army's first unit to be refitted with the Joint Type II rifle.

The experimental equipment and testing of the United Type II rifle has been carried out many times in China for a long time. Because the Guards have rich experience in using repeating rifles, the earliest live ammunition test of the United Type II rifle is the Guards. It's going on over there.

Many troops in the subsequent empire have also been equipped on a small scale for testing. The troops stationed in the northern ice field have been equipped, the troops in the northwest grasslands have been equipped, and the troops in the Gobi Desert, the plateau, and the coast of the South China Sea have been equipped in small quantities. Equipped, the purpose is to test the performance in different environments and climates.

Because Datang's army is all over the world, Datang's weapons and equipment also need to face the test of climate and environment around the world, and this is not so easy!
