Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 291 Chapter 291
In Burners' shooting range, Tang Mo watched with great interest as Wes emptied a pistol magazine, and then continued to reload it.

Good shooters are fed with bullets. Without a lot of live ammunition, no matter how talented they are, they are all for nothing.

It is necessary to keep shooting year after year, day after day, to maintain one's sense of gun, so as to maintain muscle memory and allow oneself to make the most correct shooting action in the shortest time.

Weiss is Tang Mo's personal bodyguard, and until he finds another successor who can be safely used, he will be the last barrier around Tang Mo.

Such a person must always maintain the best fighting condition, so Weiss always seizes all the time to train his fighting skills.

His pistol has been played superbly, and almost every shot can hit the bull's-eye.And his shooting speed is unimaginably fast, like lightning.

"Boom!" After the last shot was fired, Weiss put the PPK pistol sample gun used for testing on the tray, and looked back at Tang Mo with some unfinished thoughts: "You can always create something that people like. arms."

Frankly speaking, the PPK pistol is really easy to carry and not bad for an individual weapon. In the hands of Weiss, this thing is simply an artifact.

Compared with the large M1911 pistol, the PPK pistol seems to be more suitable for bodyguards or spies.

However, the PPK pistol also has its own shortcomings. The first one is that the power of this weapon is relatively small.

The caliber of the M1911 pistol is larger, and the bullets used are much more powerful than the 7.65mm pistol bullets used by PPK, and the stopping ability is naturally much higher.

Therefore, in the hands of a gun master like Weiss, the M1911 pistol, a weapon that can solve problems with one shot, is actually more powerful.

The same can only hold 7 rounds of bullets. The 7 rounds of PPK pistols may not solve the problem, but the M1911 pistol is much safer.

Therefore, Weiss still prefers the powerful M1911 pistol. At least after experimenting with many kinds of pistols, Weiss prefers the M1911 pistol and the "shell gun".

If it can be carried, Weiss is more willing to carry a shell gun, that is, a Mauser automatic pistol. This weapon is very powerful and can be used as an automatic weapon temporarily.

Although it has huge flaws in accuracy, Weiss prefers this kind of powerful automatic weapon. After all, compared with the Cyric flintlock pistol back then, the pistol that is now participating in the Datang Group pistol bidding experiment can be regarded as The above is the best of the best.

Ruger pistols have actually been manufactured, but Wes doesn't like this kind of pistol that is not so stable when firing.

Although expensive and using many new technologies, the Ruger pistol still has many inherent defects, and it is difficult to compete with the more stable PPK and M1911.

In fact, even in the Santoku era, there were not many Prussian noble officers wearing Luger pistols. Most of the Luger pistols were left to the police and second-line troops... After all, the battlefield environment is too bad. The pistol is not very suitable.

In the world before Tang Mo traveled, around 1910, too many pistols with excellent performance were born.

Both Jack and Belgian have good designs, the Browning Hi-Power and Jack's CZ pistols are well known.

In Tang Mo's laboratory, these pistols were also copied by skilled craftsmen to test the ultimate performance of each pistol.

In the end, the M1911 pistol and the PPK pistol became Tang Mo's favorite semi-automatic pistols, while the earlier Mauser shell guns were sent to other places as heretics, to trap the idiots of Cyric.

After all, what no one knew was that the automatic weapon Tang Mo really wanted to create was not an automatic pistol that hadn't been popularized on a large scale until the 21st century, but a submachine gun that used pistol bullets more reasonably!
The kind of weapon that is the same size as the Uzi submachine gun but has very mediocre melee power is definitely not what Tang Mo wants.

The only bright spot of the Mauser pistol is the power of the middle distance - its effective range is indeed very far compared with the pistol, especially after the buttstock of the holster is installed, the accuracy is also very high.

But if the butt is installed, this automatic pistol is basically the same size as a submachine gun, not a pistol at all...

This is also the main reason why the Mauser automatic pistol, whose performance is considered to be against the sky among pistols, only shines on the Chinese battlefield-there is no submachine gun here!

Therefore, Huaxia is the natural superior battlefield of the Mauser automatic pistol. This is caused by the environment, not because of the excellent performance of the weapon itself.

Therefore, this weapon is not irreplaceable. On the contrary, this weapon is very easy to replace: just produce a decent submachine gun.

"To be honest, I haven't figured out what to call this pistol, S4 or S5?" Tang Mo asked Weiss, feeling the sun shining comfortably on his body.

Wes thought for a while, and answered Tang Mo's question: "Actually, I prefer the one that can solve the problem... the big one."

"Well, men like big ones." Tang Mo teased maliciously.

Wes laughed a little bit with a smirk on his face, and then said: "Then I named this gun."

He weighed the M1911 in his hand twice, and named this pistol from another world S4, and the PPK pistol naturally became the S5 semi-automatic pistol.

In an instant, he liked the S4 pistol even more. After all, it was the pistol he named it, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Tang Mo smiled wickedly, and waved to the entourage next to him who was carrying the plate: "Bring that thing here!"

The attendant hurried forward and handed the plate covered with a white cloth to Tang Mo, Tang Mo didn't lift the white cloth immediately, but looked at Weiss and said, "Do you remember that joke I told you? "

"Which one?" Wes tried hard to recall all kinds of dirty jokes Tang Mo told him.

"Within ten steps, the one with the quickest punch..." Tang Mo knew that Weiss must be thinking wrong, so he reminded.

Weiss was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded pretendingly: "Remember, you told me at that time that the gun is faster if you are ten steps away...within ten steps...the gun is fast and accurate."

"That's just a joke." Tang Mo smiled and opened the tray, showing the contents in front of Wes: "Now, it's accurate or not, I don't need to care too much."

Tang Mo did not choose the German MP series of submachine guns for his troops, because he liked another one - the American Thompson submachine gun.

This is a slightly complicated submachine gun with good overall performance, but the reason why Tang Mo likes it is because it has repeatedly appeared in some gangster movies.

The scene of a Chicago typewriter hidden in a violin box being carried around by a killer in a black suit looks very emotional.

Of course, it was an improved version that Tang Mo directly manufactured—the U.S. military version without the front grip and only with a horizontal handguard.

This weapon was born around 1928, so there is no technical difficulty.In comparison, Germany's better MP-38 submachine gun is much slower.

In fact, in terms of performance and fit, Tang Mo wanted to choose the MP-38 submachine gun, because its manufacturing process is more advanced, its accuracy is higher, and it is also better in other performances.

Leaving aside other things, the fact that German submachine guns are more foldable is very attractive: Tang Mo values ​​weapons that are easy to carry.

However, when Tang Mo was hesitating which weapon he should choose was better, another factor influenced his choice: bullets!
Tang Mo has decided to mass-produce the M1911 pistol, or the improved M1911A1 pistol, but the bullets of this pistol are 11.43mm.

Another PPK pistol that Tang Mo likes more, it uses 7.65mm bullets—yes, another brand new bullet.

The rifle bullets used by soldiers of Tang Mo's security forces were 8mm rifle bullets, which were another completely different kind of metal fixed bullet.

At the same time, the caliber of the Maxim heavy machine gun produced by Datang Group is also 11.43mm.

This made Tang Mo fall into an embarrassing entanglement: his bullets were too many calibers, too complicated.

If the MP-9 submachine gun using 38mm caliber pistol ammunition is produced again, then he will have to open another production line for producing 9mm caliber pistol ammunition.

加上现有的子弹生产线，大唐集团要同时生产6种不同口径型号长短的子弹：点四五口径（11.43）的手枪弹、点三二口径（7.65）的手枪子弹、9毫米口径手枪弹、8毫米（7.92）口径步枪弹、点四五口径（11.43）机枪子弹，还有针发枪的纸壳定装弹……

This was something Tang Mo, or the Datang Group was unwilling to accept.

So Tang Mo had to consciously reduce the types of bullets he had, so as to reduce his production line and simplify the logistical supply of the troops.

In fact, the development of weapons has a certain continuity. Tang Mo chose the more advanced Colt revolver for the revolver, so he chose the caliber of the bullet to be .11.43 ([-]).

So next, the bullets of the M1911 pistol are also .[-], which greatly simplifies Tang Mo's bullet production.

Therefore, Tang Mo had to compromise to a certain extent on the choice of submachine gun. He gave up the MP-38 submachine gun he was more optimistic about, and chose the Chicago Typewriter and Thomson submachine gun instead.

Although this weapon is not satisfactory, it is still a very mature and effective weapon.If the downside of this weapon is that it is bulky and expensive, that is not an issue at all in this day and age.

This weapon was only used to equip Tang Mo's security forces, so Tang Mo was more willing to simplify it and let the new submachine gun use existing bullets.

Therefore, when Tang Mo lifted the white cloth, what Wes saw was a beautifully crafted Thompson submachine gun.
