On the Yangtze River, looking at the dock getting closer and closer, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. They had been floating on the river for more than half an hour. This snail's speed was really unbearable for Lin Mo.
As soon as the boat docked, Lin Mo helped carry the things down. Not long after, the things on the boat were all carried away. Originally, Lin Mo wanted to carry a load himself, after all, he had to walk all the way to the training ground.
However, there were quite a few people coming to pick him up this time, and one box per person was not enough. Xu Zhiyu must have known that Wu Liangdong's things were ready, so he sent someone specifically to pick them up.
After landing on the shore, Lin Mo did not delay, and together with Lin Wenhua and Liao Tinghui, led everyone to the training ground.
After walking for a while and unable to see Empress Jiang, Wu Liangdong took the box and approached Lin Mo.
"Old Wu, what's the matter? I can't wait for this short journey?"
Wu Liangdong heard this and said hurriedly: "Master Lin, I have made something here, and I want you to show it..."
"Oh...what is it? Take it out and take a look! Anyway, there is nothing to do along the way."
When Wu Liangdong heard this, he quickly stopped and took out a gun-like object made of wood and iron from the box and handed it to Lin Mo.
Looking at the gun shell in his hand, Lin Mo could tell at a glance what it was. The carbine kit of the pistol, although there were many differences from those of later generations, had the same purpose.
Compared with the pistol kits Lin Mo asked Wu Liangdong to make, although they are all kits based on pistols, the kits drawn by Lin Mo were directly modified with pistols.
As for Wu Liangdong, he just made a shell and holstered his pistol, making it look somewhat similar to the submachine gun rifle of later generations. Of course, the holding method is also similar.
"Hmm... Not bad, not bad... Lao Wu, you have done a good job. You can come up with such a unique design on your own. You have a bright future..."
"Master Lin, you praised me. It was all inspired by the kit you asked me to make..." Although Wu Liangdong said this, he was already smiling from ear to ear.
Looking at the gun shell-like thing in Lin Mo's hand, Lin Wenhua on the side couldn't help but ask: "Lin Mo, what is the use of this thing?"
Not only Lin Wenhua was interested, Liao Tinghui also stopped and taught Yang Haicheng to come over, and Liu Zhenshan and his party also gathered around.
Seeing this, Lin Mo reached out and took out his pistol from his waist, and handed it to Wu Liangdong along with the carbine kit.
"Old Wu, give me the box first! You can demonstrate and introduce it to everyone."
"Okay..." Wu Liangdong responded, handed the box to Lin Mo, and took the pistol and carbine kit.
"This case is a kind of pistol kit. The magazine well in the front can be used as a grip by inserting a magazine. The empty part in the middle can be loaded and loaded, and then the gun can be fired. There is a pull-out type in the back.
The butt of the gun can be used by pulling it out.
Don’t look at this kit, the combination of wood and iron is a bit ugly, but it can effectively improve the stability and accuracy of shooting. We have tested it privately, and people who know a little bit about shooting can shoot very accurately.”
"Next, let me demonstrate to you..." After Wu Liangdong finished speaking, he took off the magazine from the gun and inserted it into the magazine well as a grip.
"Click..." Wu Liangdong loaded the gun, then opened the case, put the pistol in, closed it again, and inserted the latch.
"Ta..." Wu Liangdong gestured and pulled the trigger. The sound of the hammer sounded, and Wu Liangdong put down the gun.
"Now let me talk about the details of this shell. Wood is used in many places on it. Although it looks a bit ugly, the main purpose is to avoid being too heavy and the design is practical.
In addition, with the addition of this shell, the effective range of the pistol will be greatly increased, mainly due to the addition of a section of barrel in front of the shell.
However, because the barrel is difficult to align perfectly with the muzzle, and the rifling is even more difficult to align, the caliber of the barrel is about two millimeters larger than the bullet caliber, and there is no rifling.
Although this treatment is done, the range of the bullet is still increased a lot, and I have tested it and the accuracy is not affected much.
By the way, the additional barrel and muzzle are threaded, and you can choose to install the muzzle accessories that Master Lin asked us to make."
After Wu Liangdong finished speaking, he handed the thing to Lin Mo and said, "Master Lin, please give me another hand."
"Well..." Lin Mo nodded, took it, and looked at it carefully while walking forward.
After a while, Lin Mo said: "Old Wu, to be honest, it's pretty good that you can do this, but there are still some areas that can be improved.
Like loading, if the gun is placed in the case, it cannot be loaded again. What should I do if the bullet is fired or jammed? Do I need to take the gun out? There is not so much time to waste on the battlefield.
You can put a bolt on the rear sight of the slide, let it extend out of the case, and pull the slide directly to load the gun.
There is also the pull-out stock, which makes the structure of the kit a lot more complicated. I recommend changing it to a folding stock or a detachable stock.”
Next, Lin Mo briefly introduced the pull bolt and the various structures of the two gun stocks to Wu Liangdong.
"Well...Master Lin, when I get down I'll have someone change it like this..."
Lin Mo listened, nodded, handed the things to Lin Wenhua and others who had been watching, and started talking about the kit.
The two communicated for a while, and Lin Mo asked: "Old Wu, where is the kit I designed? Do you have it now?"
"Yes..." Wu Liangdong responded, then opened the box in his hand and took out the kit designed by Lin Mo.
The material of this kit is the same as the kit just now, made of wood and steel, but it is much shorter and more sophisticated than the kit just now.
The first time Lin Mo took it, he weighed it, a little nervous, and the quality made Lin Mo a little dissatisfied.
Continuing to check the condition of the kit, other parts are fine and there are no problems. Whether it is pulling out the butt or changing the magazine, everything is smooth.
"Master Lin, how are you? Is there any problem?"
"Hmm...it's okay, but the weight is a bit heavy. As for other issues, we won't know until we try it on the training ground."
Upon hearing this, Wu Liangdong pondered for a while and then said: "Master Lin, we have replaced all the parts that can be replaced with wood in this kit. If we still want to make it lighter, we can only choose lighter wood.
But if it is replaced with other wood, let alone other things, it will be difficult to guarantee the quality of the gun, and problems may occur."
Lin Mo listened and smiled: "You don't have to worry about this. I have a way. I know a material that should be able to solve this problem."
Hearing this, Wu Liangdong became interested and asked quickly: "Master Lin, please tell me quickly."
Lin Mo heard this and smiled: "Plastic is a chemically synthesized material. It is much lighter than wood and strong enough. It can be used to replace wood."
"Plastic? This... I don't recognize..."
"Sigh...it's the brown guard on the handles of some Continental rollers. Its material is a kind of plastic."
"Oh..." After hearing this explanation, Wu Liangdong suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It turns out that thing is plastic. I always thought it was what kind of wood!"
Speaking of this, Wu Liangdong asked: "Master Lin, is that thing easy to make? We worked on wood this time, but it took a lot of effort and even found a wood carving master to come up with something suitable."
After listening to this, Lin Mo pondered for a while before replying: "How should I put it? This thing requires the use of machines, and people who know how to use them can directly produce what you need.
If you don't know how to use the machine, it will be troublesome. You need to understand the machine. I suggest that after the machine arrives, you go to the university and ask professors about chemistry and mechanics for advice."
"Well...Master Lin, I listen to you."
Seeing this, Lin Mo continued: "Okay, I'll make arrangements when I get down to purchase all kinds of plastic raw materials and processing machines from abroad for you."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, Lin Wenhua, who was walking on the other side of Lin Mo, interrupted: "Lin Mo, show me this one in your hand."
Hearing this, Lin Mo quickly handed the thing over, Lin Wenhua took it, and a group of people gathered around to study it.
Lin Mo told Wu Liangdong some more things, then he came over and asked, "Brother, how are you? You can use it here!"
"Well, it is indeed useful, and both are good. I just don't know which one to choose to equip."
Lin Mo listened and said with a smile: "Brother, then equip both models! These two models can be used in different situations without much conflict.
You see, this short model is short and compact. If you remove the magazine from the magazine well on the front, it won’t affect your carryability much. It can be carried as a daily carry in the field.
As for the other one, this one is a bit longer, so it is unrealistic to keep it hidden on the body, but it is more powerful than the shorter one, and can usually be placed in the car.
The usage scenarios of this device are mainly in fierce battles in the wild, defense or attack. At this time, there is no need to hide it, and you can replace it with this more powerful kit. "
Lin Wenhua listened, nodded, and said with a smile: "That makes sense, Old Wu! Give me fifty sets of the short one, and give me thirty sets of the long one after you improve it."
After hearing this, Wu Liangdong looked at Lin Mo with a troubled face.
Lin Mo saw this and said to Lin Wenhua: "Brother... this may be a bit troublesome. The guns you have here are different from ours, and these things are all based on the M1911A1 design..."
"Is there really nothing I can do?"
"Yes, one is to change the equipment to the same one as ours; the other is to ask Lao Wu to redesign and make it, but this will take time, and some of the other things I have made may not be used by you."
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Lin Wenhua looked at Wu Liangdong and asked: "Old Wu, how much time do you need to redesign?"
Wu Liangdong heard this, thought carefully for a moment, and replied: "Because we already have a reference, we just changed the gun type and caliber, we will go all out, and we should be able to produce a sample in about five days.
But Commander Lin, I don’t recommend you to do this, because only the gun equipped by Master Lin and others can be equipped with muzzle accessories."
