"Okay, if you don't talk about this, there is nothing wrong. You came here to talk to us, surely you didn't come here just to talk about this with us, right?" After rambling and bragging for a long time, Brother Li finally spoke first.
"Brother Li, this time I'm asking you and all the brothers to do me a favor." Zhang Guangjia handed over his hand again and said kind words and compliments, giving him enough face.
"Let's talk about it in advance, let's see if we can help!" Brother Li asked with concern on his face, but he didn't make any promises, and he didn't even leave any loopholes in his words for you.
Zhang Guangjia didn't seem to be aware of it, his face was full of joy and he replied with a smile: "Brother Li warned me a few words before! I didn't take it seriously at the time, but I told the boat later.
To be cautious, I sent people to the city to investigate. I really didn’t expect that in such a rich and prosperous place, in the center of many prosperous towns, the gangs would be so arrogant, cruel and unscrupulous, so I asked Brother Li for advice on how to get some guys...
"
"With so many of you gathering for a trip, it's impossible for you to not prepare anything on your boat, right?" Brother Li frowned, looked Zhang Guangjia up and down, and asked.
"...Yes, there must be..." A flash of hesitation flashed across Zhang Guangjia's face. He paused for a moment before lowering his voice and explaining: "But I only brought some guys who could barely defend themselves. I didn't expect that the banditry in Taihu Lake would be so serious. I'm afraid.
It’s really not enough to cope with it.”
"There's no need to go to such trouble, right? At worst, we can just move to other places, or just stay around some big cities and avoid them, right?"
"Heroes see the same thing!" Zhang Guangjia sighed with emotion: "It's a pity that the man on the ship, you also know what virtues he has, but you still want to eliminate harm for the people when you encounter this kind of thing! It was not easy to persuade him to stop it.
, who dares to mention and hide away? If you dare to say this, your eyes will probably eat you up, so I have no choice but to shyly ask a few brothers for help. "
After the people in front of them listened and complained for a while, Brother Li said: "There is a business run by a foreigner in the city. He secretly sells a small amount of weapons, but mainly pistols. If they are suitable, I will recommend them to you."
"...Brother Li, it's because I didn't explain clearly. I'm not looking for ready-made weapons..."
Zhang Guangjia hurriedly explained his needs, and also took out the sketch and specific requirements for reference by several people, because he felt that this matter should be successful.
"Isn't this just raising a gun?" Someone looked at it and said smoothly.
"It does look like a gun, but if you look at the marked details, it has been improved a lot. It looks more like a large shotgun." Brother Li explained with the picture.
"...Brother Li, that's great..." Zhang Guangjia said with a happy face, "I also said this is like raising a gun, but they insisted on calling it a boat gun, saying it was a shotgun used by Americans for hunting. A group of them were flying in the sky.
You can kill a lot of wild ducks with one shot, but I think the boat gun and the gun should be similar, and the loading and loading are also modified from the shotgun."
"I can shoot down a bunch of wild ducks flying in the sky. The boat used by the gangsters can probably kill a whole boatload of people with one shot. It is indeed very suitable for dealing with gangsters." Brother Li replied, touching his chin.
"...Awesome..." Zhang Guangjia gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Li said exactly the same thing as the person who made this suggestion. This is absolutely not lying, and there are only a few words missing."
"It was a joke, I just saw it as an afterthought..." He said modestly, but judging from his demeanor, it should be somewhat useful.
Zhang Guangjia patted him on the back a few more times, Brother Li waved his hand, thought for a while, turned to someone and asked: "Yue Jin, I remember that your relative runs a small repair shop, how can this happen?"
It seems that all the machines used are available, right?"
After hearing this, the man named Yue Jin recalled, and said: "That factory can repair machines and make parts, lay water pipes to connect tap water, etc. It's no problem. It can also do some simple modifications for cars and ships. Our ship
It seems that his family helped install the machine."
"That should work. The factory seems to be right by the water, right? Since fish don't like to eat bait now, let's just sail over and help Brother Zhang handle this matter."
"...Okay..." No one had any objections. Zhang Guangjia hurriedly thanked him, and the boat started to move slowly. It didn't take long for it to return to the outside of Suzhou along the canal.
The repair shop was not in the city, but on a waterway that turned into the canal, not far from the dock. After everyone stopped the boat, they were welcomed in by the boss, who served them tea and water and carefully waited on them.
Brother Li did not delay with too many polite words. He chatted for a few words and then went straight to the point. After explaining the situation, he handed over the drawings given by Zhang Guangjia.
The boss hesitated for a moment and glanced at the person called Yue Jin. Seeing that he didn't give any hints, he had no choice but to accept it. At best, he called him a relative. At worst, he just relied on him to make a living. The young master's family all
Now that I’m here, can I still refuse?
"Don't worry, it's done. I'll have someone give you the title of police gun repairman. There are a lot of damaged gun parts in the police force that need to be repaired and processed, and you may be asked to do more of this in the future.
thing."
The boss nodded and looked at it carefully. After waiting for a while, Brother Li asked: "How about it? Can it be done?"
"It can be done, but it's a bit troublesome." The boss frowned and replied with some anxiety.
Zhang Guangjia heard this and asked: "Is it a problem with the pipes? If there are no suitable pipes, I have some that can be used."
"...Uh..." The boss shook his head and replied: "That's not the case, but I also want to know how far this can be driven?"
After Zhang Guangjia heard this, he thought for a moment and replied: "It doesn't have to be too far. This probably won't hit too far. One or two hundred meters should be about the same."
"There's nothing wrong with the pipe." After saying that, the boss explained: "The main business of my shop is repairing machines and making parts for people. I have pipes for steam engines to transport gas, and they are high-pressure pipes.
It is no problem to use the relatively excellent seamless steel pipe to make a gun with this performance.
But according to your requirements, I only have two pipes with 38 and 42 outer diameter specifications that meet the caliber requirements, because the tail of the barrel for loading and locking needs to be cut and processed, and the wall thickness is preferably above 3.5. I
We only have some 42 specification and 4 mm wall thickness pipes in stock.”
"Okay! If necessary, just follow your side." Zhang Guangjia nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"The trouble you mentioned, what exactly is it? Let me know and I'll see if I can solve it for you." Brother Li frowned slightly and asked.
When the boss heard this, Weiwei explained: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with the gun. Although the loading and locking structure of the gun in the picture is not shown in detail, it is an enlarged version of a shotgun, but I have one in the store that is used for hunting.
Sure, just dismantle the gun and use it as a reference.
The bracket is also simple. I have a lot of parts that can be used for repairing machines. I just need to process some suitable fixed parts. The problem is that it is the ammunition of the gun. This is much more troublesome than the gun.
The person who gave the drawings probably thought of it, so he came up with several options. The first one is to use old cartridge cases. I don’t know if there are cartridge cases that meet the specifications of the pipes I have. Even if there is an estimate, it will be very troublesome. In a short time,
It definitely can't be done.
The other is to use iron-cased bullets, which is feasible, but it is very difficult to process. Making homemade copper shells is relatively troublesome, but it is also more time-consuming and troublesome, and the cost is high. Paper-cased bullets are relatively simple and cheap, but simply using paper shells
, this gun has insufficient airtightness due to the loading and locking method. Once the gun is fired, the paper shell will burn and collapse, resulting in gas leakage and reducing the power of the gun.
However, you can use a method of combining copper shells with paper shells. Use a homemade copper shell for a small section at the bottom, and paper shells for other parts. You can get hard paper from a match company or the like and roll the paper shells yourself, but it is best to make firecrackers and fireworks.
People help.
As for the homemade copper shell, I can make a small mold, and then ask a copper shop not far away to melt the copper, pour it in and press it with a pressure plug. After getting the rough shape, we can cut and drill it.
It's done in one go.
I usually also like to go to the lake to hunt waterfowl and the like. I have some ready-made flash caps, propellants and projectiles on hand. I can assemble them with the first two and use them.
However, the copper shell is still troublesome to process, and you can’t get too much out of it. Fortunately, this one is reusable. When the time comes, you can replace it with a new flash cap and install the ammunition sealed in the paper shell, and you can use it.”
"It's quite a solution! You came up with a solution so quickly. Do you want us to come forward and deal with them?"
"..." The boss hesitated for a moment and explained: "We usually hunt together. We have done this before, but it was done in private by a few people behind closed doors. If this is the case, we really need to bother the gentlemen to come forward.
"
"...Okay..." Mr. Li nodded directly, regardless of the boss's selfish calculations. He pointed at a young man who came with him and said: "Young men from the director's family, who are in charge of your area, should all know about him! He
Is it enough to show up?”
"...That's enough, that's enough..." The boss nodded quickly and waved his hands towards the so-called director in fear. It was obvious that he usually didn't have a good reputation.
Despite this, the director reluctantly nodded in response. Obviously, the identity of this Brother Li, Young Master Li, is very unusual!
"Okay, I'll help you solve what you need. How long will it take to get it done?" Mr. Li spoke.
"It depends on how urgent you are. Depending on the situation, you can go faster or slower. If you go faster, you can make it rougher and simpler. If you go slower, you can make it more delicate."
Li Shao heard this and looked at Zhang Guangjia. Zhang Guangjia came back to his senses and said directly: "The sooner the better, how soon can it be done?"
"How much quantity is needed?" Seeing that several young masters were getting impatient, the boss asked carefully and tentatively. He didn't want to be so procrastinating, but there were some things that he couldn't do without asking them clearly.
Zhang Guangjia thought for a moment and replied: "Five or six should be enough."
"Ten pills! How long will it take at the earliest?" Mr. Li decided directly and opened his mouth to ask.
"For ten guns, the materials are enough, and most of the parts are readily available. Start working hard now, and it can be done before dark. However, the structure of the gun, locking and firing needs to be simplified, and the front part of the barrel cannot be thinned to reduce weight.
…”
After listening for a while, Zhang Guangjia felt that there was nothing wrong with these, so he interrupted: "Just go with these! I want to get them before dark."
