Chapter 1129 1129: The Rifle of the Principality of Prince
When night began to fall, the two magical mechanized divisions of the United Army also entered the main city of Pune. After joining Prince's Army, they headed in the direction of the target.
Along the way, the soldiers of Prince's Army pointed at the equipment of the United Army soldiers, and it was not difficult to see their envy.
Although Prince's Army is backed by the Merlocks Empire, the weapons and equipment support are not given for free. They need to be purchased with money or used as collateral to replace them, but the discount is relatively large.
But this is really sad for the Principality of Prince, which is impoverished and in urgent need of development.
Two years ago, the Principality of Prince built a bullet production line to barely meet local bullet needs during non-war times. It also built a firearms factory and even developed a brand new rifle on its own.
It is called the Type 81 Horse Rifle, with a caliber of 1.5 mm. The gun body is shorter, less than 1 meter long, and 2 meters shorter than ordinary rifles. The gun is lighter, weighing only kilograms.
Although its effective range was only 200 meters, which was not outstanding at the time, because it was relatively short and lightweight, it was very suitable for guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, so it was deeply loved by Prince's officers and soldiers.
The Type 81 horse rifle was lighter and more flexible than ordinary rifles at the time.
Because the equipment conditions were very crude at that time, it adopted the method of simplifying parts and reduced many unnecessary refined parts, so that it could be produced under crude production conditions.
The Type 81 horse rifle is equipped with a triangular bayonet at the muzzle, which can be automatically deployed and fixed. When fighting hand-to-hand on the battlefield, soldiers do not need to put away the gun or change their posture to install the bayonet. They only need to press the bayonet under the butt of the gun with their left hand.
The bayonet can be quickly thrown out by the buckle and automatically fixed, saving valuable time and increasing the chance of defeating the enemy.
The muzzle bayonet is triangular, with a smooth inner side and a blood groove in the middle. After piercing the enemy's body, the blood can easily flow out, making it easier to pull out after the assassination, saving energy and time. It is better than surrounding countries on the battlefield.
The rifle used has obvious advantages.
In the Asian subcontinent, because ammunition and rifles are expensive, many soldiers equipped with rifles do not have that many bullets. Once they run out of bullets, they will fall into hand-to-hand combat.
Therefore, in the Asian subcontinent, the performance of the rifle can be a little worse, but the bayonet must not be missing.
In fact, this new rifle was requested by Lanmarlock from Guineaville, and this rifle was the product of Aslan's request very early. This was prepared for when it was still just the province of Merlox.
When they lost the war and were dragged into the quagmire of war, they relied on simplified weapons produced by the resources of Merox Province to deal with it, and even prepared for guerrilla warfare.
After all, if you are going to fight a kingdom with the resources and troops of a province, you must make complete plans.
The biggest advantage of this rifle is that the bayonet sticks to the barrel when not in use, and can be thrown out by pressing the lock when needed. This is helpful to gain time on the battlefield and plays a vital role in the victory of the war.
.
On the other hand, the triangular bayonet has high rigidity, is easy to process, and has relatively low requirements for materials and processing. It is very suitable for the Mero Army who was mired in the war at that time and whose economy and resources were completely blocked.
The Type 81 horse rifle is mainly practical, with few flashy things.
At that time, Gwynneville was annoyed by Lan Malok's begging, so she directly threw this impossible-to-reproduce weapon to Lan Malok.
At this point, it has become the standard rifle of the Prince Army, and it is also the only two countries in the Asian subcontinent that can produce their own standard rifles.
Compared with revolvers and single-shot breech-loading rifles from other countries, the performance of the Type 81 horse rifle is already very superior. However, compared with the Maxim Empire's active Ful M77 rifle and the Ful 98K rifle that is gradually becoming a new rifle, it is inferior.
More than half a minute.
The Foer M77 rifle is a lever rifle that has undergone many improvements. Its performance has been reached to the extreme. However, after acquiring part of Blue Star technology, they also began to eliminate the Foer M77 rifle.
Although the Foer M77 lever rifle has the dual advantages of fire rate and ammunition capacity, its shortcomings are also obvious. The structure inside is too complicated, just like a precision handicraft.
Weapons brought to the battlefield do not need to be absolutely advanced, but reliability and ease of repair and maintenance are criteria that must be considered. Every time the lever is turned on the Foer M77 rifle, it means that the lower receiver is opened.
Environment, sand and foreign matter can easily enter it.
The Ful M77 rifle also improved the position of the shell ejection window in the later period. In the past, the vertical upward shell ejection caused the Ful M77 rifle to be unable to install an optical sight at a parallel position on the gun body. It could only be installed on the side, which greatly improved the aiming accuracy of the rifle.
reduce.
After arriving on the battlefield, the lever rifle exposed the problem of shooting posture. Both the lever rifle and the bolt-action rifle can be fired from the prone position, but because the bolt handle of the lever rifle is below, you need to turn sideways when pulling the bolt, and you have to start again.
Aim over the shoulder.
Switch to a bolt-action rifle. After shooting over the shoulder, just hold the gun steady with one hand and pull the big bolt with the other hand. You can always maintain the aiming state. In addition, the lever rifle is more expensive than the bolt-action rifle and has no obvious advantages, so
He was ignored by the army.
As for the Fur 98K rifle, it goes without saying that it is completely based on the previous Mauser 98K rifle. It is also the most advanced rifle currently in service in the Maxim Empire and is gradually phasing out the Fur M77 rifle.
The prices of these two rifles are very expensive in the Asian subcontinent. One can be exchanged for ten or even twenty August 1 type horse rifles.
Countries only purchased a small amount of equipment for their security forces, and the main weapons were early-model rifles that were being phased out by the Maxim Empire.
After these years of war, the Prince Army has more or less captured some, and they have become the treasures of some professional soldiers. However, when they saw the soldiers of the United Army holding a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, they immediately felt dissatisfied.
Already.
Those are the real rich people.
As for the magically mechanized armored vehicles and a small number of tanks, they were ignored. It wasn't that they didn't envy them, but they couldn't understand them at all. Based on their knowledge, they just regarded the armored fighting vehicles as trucks for transporting soldiers.
………………
About ten kilometers away from the main city of Koreva, a temporary camp has been completed.
In addition to the continued construction of defensive trenches, tents were also set up, smoke was rising, and the soldiers were all smiling.
It is true that they were unable to enter the city to rest, but the rewards and rewards of victory were not diminished at all.
The Principality of Baekje brought a large number of cattle and sheep so that the soldiers in the camp could have a bonfire party at night.
When the bonfire was raised, the sky became completely dark.
The black spot over the main city of Kolyva was slowly lowering, and did not stop until its altitude remained at about 5,000 meters.
"Arrived at the scheduled location!"
Does anyone know when the Type 81 horse rifle was mass-produced, and does it become the standard weapon of the army?
