I am an industrial worker during the War of Resistance

Chapter 44 The Crackling Gunshot

"From a forging perspective, this kind of conical barrel is not difficult to forge. We can make a new set of molds and forge it directly, which will save a lot of effort during machining."

Judging from the angle and area of ​​its diameter variation, it is absolutely capable of withstanding the chamber pressure of a bullet.

And that notch in the muzzle—that design is brilliant.

We didn't see it on any of the guns.

Muzzle climb in all rifles is controlled by reducing the propellant charge or by manual adjustment.

Just now, Director Chen explained the rationale behind this incision.

I just realized that this small incision is not simple at all.

The bayonet wasn't a big problem for me either, even though it was designed to be a bit thinner to reduce weight.

However, its triangular frame still ensures its strength.

The tempering and quenching process can ensure its internal toughness and external hardness.

Moreover, this guy was only there to ensure the assassination went smoothly.

This design makes the bayonet more lethal than a sword-shaped bayonet.

Its biggest advantage is that it almost never gets stuck on bones.

It will be very smooth when entering and exiting the human body.

The bloodletting effect of these three grooves looks terrifying.

"If you get stabbed by this thing, the wound is much harder to treat than a regular bayonet wound."

Master Zhang, the foundry worker, looked at the blueprints and their requirements and spoke slowly.

At this moment, Master Liu from the machinery manufacturing plant also said, "Old Zhang is right."

During machining, this conical gun barrel only requires adjusting the feed rate and setting the limit.

It's not that difficult; you can get out after taking two cuts.

This ingeniously designed muzzle is also incredibly simple.

As for rifling, all you need to do is change the mold.

These are small things.

As for the rotating bolt, although its machining precision is higher, both its rotating groove and the inner bore for mounting the firing pin are still important.

We can process it very quickly.

"Of course, if Lao Li, your machine tool factory could produce another batch of machine tools with even higher precision, that would be even better."

"No problem, the upgraded, higher-precision machine tools we have now developed are already available."

One precision drill, one precision turner, and one precision milling and grinding machine.

Upgrading the machine tool's precision was already part of the plan given by Factory Director Chen.

These four machine tools are already in their third generation.

They developed it ahead of time to meet the demand for higher precision barrels, receivers, and bolts.

Even if you hadn't said anything, Lao Liu, we would still have sent the machine tool over for installation today.

Now that Director Chen's new gun has come out, this is a complete set of new guns.

We are absolutely confident.

Our newly acquired high-precision machine tools are absolutely capable of perfectly completing the manufacturing task of the new gun.

I, Lao Li, can guarantee that.

As soon as Director Li of the machine tool factory finished speaking, Master Liu from the machinery factory said, "Alright, since you've put it that way, then if we can't get the machining task for this new gun..."

From now on, I, Lao Liu, will call you all "Grandpa" whenever I see you.

I hereby pledge my commitment.

Within two days, we will absolutely produce qualified new bolt action parts, down to the last detail.

After the experienced workers said that...

The other factory workers also expressed their opinions.

I will definitely produce my finished work within two days.

At this moment, Chen Changzai looked at Political Commissar He sitting to the side, and the two of them laughed at the same time.

These craftsmen truly live up to their word.

Two days later, all the parts of the new gun were laid out in front of Chen Changzai.

The wooden gunstock and barrel handguard that Master Wang from the woodworking factory brought out not only perfectly met Chen Chang's requirements in the drawings.

It was polished to an extremely fine finish, and the paint surface was so shiny it could be seen that it was almost reflective.

Chen Changzai picked up the butt of the gun, rested it on his shoulder, and gripped the butt handle.

He pressed his face against the butt of the gun, simulating a shooting posture.

The shoulders and arms swayed slightly.

He was checking whether the connection between the gunstock and his body was comfortable.

After feeling it for a few moments, Chen Changzai said with a smile, "Master Wang, you did this yourself, didn't you?"

This skill, this feeling—most people couldn't pull it off.

Master Wang laughed heartily when he heard Chen Changzai's completely satisfied affirmation.

He said, "This is the first one, and it's necessary to set an example, so I did it myself."

However, the apprentices I've trained so far haven't yet reached the pinnacle of their skills.

But compared to me, they're not that much worse.

My current task is to train apprentices. The more good apprentices we can train, the more strength we will have, and the sooner we can achieve victory.

If we win later, they'll also have some credit for it.

"Haha, Master Wang is right."

The soldiers on the front lines fight, they need guns and ammunition; that's their battlefield.

Our battlefield is right here, and our fight is to provide the soldiers on the front lines with better guns and more bullets.

In the future, we will also provide the soldiers with airplanes and artillery.

As long as our soldiers win battles with the weapons we provide.

That means we've won the battle too.

After listening to Chen Changzai's words, Master Wang said, "Director Chen, what you said is very true. There are some young guys in our factory who only think about going to the front line all day long."

No matter what you say to them, they're all seething with resentment.

When I get home today, I'll use your words to give them a good talking-to.

Chen Changzai put down the wooden gunstock in his hand.

All the craftsmen accompanied him as they examined the gun parts on the table one by one.

He would measure each one with a ruler. There were two sets of parts on the table.

One group has rifles, and the other has submachine guns.

Every part was sparkling clean and had been carefully wiped with lubricant.

After inspection, all the parts met the technical requirements given by Chen Changzai.

Since the requirements are met, everyone should see the results as soon as possible.

This time, Chen Changzai personally assembled the guns.

Chen Chang was meticulous in every step of the assembly process.

His students were also watching intently without blinking.

After finally installing the bolt and securing it in place.

The rifle is now fully assembled.

Chen Changzai then brought out gun oil and applied it to various joints.

Then I moved the bolt back and forth a few times.

The bolt feels very smooth.

He picked up the rifle.

Hold the weapon against your shoulder and assume a standing shooting position.

It felt great in his hands because the center of gravity was distributed very well, so he didn't feel how heavy the gun was.

He then switched to a kneeling position while holding the gun.

Very good, although there are some changes in the body when a person kneels down on one knee.

But holding a gun still feels very comfortable.

He then took the gun and left the workshop, lying prone on the ground in the yard.

When holding a gun in a prone position, the left hand, which supports the gun from the front, can exert full force and provide stable support.

It feels good.

stood up.

He looked through the peephole at a small tree on a distant hillside.

He focused very quickly; almost as soon as he raised the gun and aimed at the target, he put the sapling into the sight through the small hole.

It seems this gun hasn't disappointed me.

He turned around and went back to the workshop, where his students and mentors also rushed back.

The remaining submachine gun parts on the table were slowly transformed into a complete submachine gun in Chen Changzai's hands.

After sliding the bolt twice, Chen Changzai knew that there was nothing wrong with the submachine gun.

This feeling was the same as the feeling of the submachine guns of this model produced in the military factory in his later life.

"Let's go test the gun," Chen Changzai said excitedly, carrying a rifle.

How can I not be excited?

It's been almost a year since I came into this world.

This gun was the first real rifle that came out after a year of hard work.

Chen Chang strode out of the workshop.

One of his students, carrying a submachine gun, followed closely behind.

The others quickly followed.

The firing range.

Chen Changzai wanted to personally test the first shot.

However, Political Commissar He and Political Commissar Liu of the Independent Regiment, who rushed over, both absolutely refused to agree.

Political Commissar Liu said, "Changzai, you can shoot the gun if you want, but only after you've confirmed that there are absolutely no problems with it."

Absolutely not now.

Chen Changzai is now considered a treasure among treasures by these people, and they are not allowed to take any risks with him.

Having no other choice, Chen Changzai said to Shi Hutou, the platoon leader of the special operations platoon in charge of his guard duties, "Hutou, do you see this small hole?"

This is called a peephole (chan, kong). You see the crosshair through this small hole, and then the crosshair is used to target the target.

You can start shooting now; it's a 100-meter target.

Push this slider; there are numbers on it.

This is 100 meters.

Okay, now you can prepare to fire. Remember the target, then confirm the point of impact, and correct your aim first.

"Yes, factory director."

Shi Hutou looked excitedly at the gun in his hand, touching it again and again, before raising it and preparing to aim.

He didn't even give his company commander any face in order to get the job of testing the gun.

Standing posture, loading, holding the gun, aiming.

Through the small hole, Shi Hutou could clearly see the bullseye.

It felt several times clearer than his Hanyang rifle.

Calm and calm.

Pull the trigger.

A crisp, loud gunshot rang out.

Shi Hutou looked through the peephole and saw a bullet hole suddenly appear on the target where he had been aiming.

And he held the gun steadily.

There was basically no significant shaking, and the recoil was very gentle.

Shi Hutou then pulled back the bolt to confirm that there were no bullets in the chamber before pushing the bolt back up.

Because we just loaded a bullet.

"Report: First test shot completed. Bullet fired normally. Gun feels good. First shot hit the target. Front sights are good."

Please provide instructions.

The report from Shi Hutou ended.

Instead of instructions, he was greeted with cheers from everyone.

The rifle was a success.

　Thank you to all my friends who have supported me.

　　I'm working hard to update, I'm working hard.
