Chapter 117: New submachine gun
The enthusiastic Furtw?ngler is gone. Cyrek is very satisfied with this exchange. He asked Furtw?ngler to compose the music. It was only a piggyback. The point is to keep these smart minds in Germany!
This matter needs to come to an end temporarily, and the contact with other scientists needs to be gradually expanded in the future.
As for now, the most important thing for Cyric is the equipment of the First Armored Division!
The tank is already fully equipped, as well as armored vehicles and submachine guns!
Therefore, after being officially inaugurated as Waffen-SS commander, Cyric stayed in the barracks for less than a month, and took a few of his men to the Irma Armory.
Located in the important Ruhr industrial zone in Germany, there are various factories everywhere, which is the premise for the German war machine to operate.
The Erma Factory, also known as the Erfurt Machine Manufacturing Factory, had already sent orders to this factory on the first day Cyric arrived at the armored division, asking them to manufacture a new submachine gun.
After receiving Cyric's order, they took out the sample gun in less than a month, and it was quite fast!
Sitting in the car, thinking about the report of Irma, Cyric knew in his heart that all this was also attributed to another person.
Heinrich Volmer, a German master of firearms, as early as 1912, Volmer was only 24 years old and founded Volmer Company, dedicated to firearms research.
10 years later, he improved the MP18 submachine gun used in World War I, adding a vertical grip to the wooden front support, and improving portability and action reliability. The improved gun is called MP25.
This kind of gun received funding from the German military and has been improved to MP30. As a result, it failed to pass the inspection by the weaponry inspection department because it did not have a barrel sleeve.
As a result, the military terminated its sponsorship in 1930. While Volmer is developing an improved submachine gun, it has also signed a large number of gun mask production contracts with the military. As a result, thousands of guns and masks have no market, resulting in a backlog, funds cannot be returned, and the company faces bankruptcy.
Under this situation, Irma decided to acquire all the sales rights of Volmer Company at a low price in October 1931. It was originally thought that it could only be sold abroad. Unexpectedly, this submachine gun would usher in a turning point again!
"General Cyric, you are very welcome." Company President Berthold Geppel said to Cyric enthusiastically. The number two worker of the Workers’ Party is now a household name in Germany.
"I heard that our submachine gun has a sample gun?" Cyric said to Thold.
"Yes, please come here," Berthold said.
Behind the company is the shooting range. At this time, a black submachine gun is ready here!
As Cyric had expected, this gun is very similar to the MP36 in history, but it was made a year earlier!
"According to the requirements of the army, it needs to be a compact submachine gun, which can be used in an armored vehicle, and it must also have sufficient firepower. Therefore, we developed this submachine gun." Hugo-Schmaier next to Berthold Sai said, at this time, he was already the main designer in the arsenal.
"This is an improvement on our original EMP submachine gun. The wooden fixed **** is changed to a folding butt; a small grip is installed to enhance shooting stability; a hook-shaped rail is added under the barrel to prevent The gun slides back when shooting inside."
"At the same time, in order to reduce the quality of the gun, we stamped some longitudinal grooves on the steel receiver; added a large circular cut on the outside of the bullet inlet; the lower receiver is made of lighter Buckley plastic. Canceled unnecessary single and burst speed machines; the original lever-type magazine buckle behind the bullet inlet was changed to a button-type, and moved to the left side of the receiver." Hu Ge introduced Cyric.
Cyrek picked up the submachine gun, naturally, holding the upper end of the magazine in his left hand and the small grip in his right hand, pulling the gun and aiming at the target in front.
"Suddenly." There was a crisp gunshot. With the sound of the gun, the 9mm bullet came out of the gun and flew to the target in front. At the same time, the right side of the bullet ejection port, one after another. Shell, fly out!
This scene is really shocking!
Because the pistol bullets are used, the recoil of the submachine gun is very small, and Cyrek can easily complete the shooting action without using the buttstock.
The other people immediately became envious of Cyric. This submachine gun only exists inside the factory, and ordinary outsiders don’t know how to operate it. General Cyric can already control it easily!
And, five of the bullets just fired hit the target! Good prospects!
Berthold is very excited, just look at Cyric’s performance now, this gun can finally be finalized!
"Suddenly." This time, Cyric opened the foldable butt, shot against the shoulder, and finished a burst again~www.novelhall.com~ Asking about the smell of gunpowder, Cyric put down the gun: "Well, This gun feels okay, but there are still a few questions. Let’s discuss it in the meeting room."
question! General Cyric is simply amazing! After just trying it out, you can comment! This made Berthold amazed and delighted. What was shocked was that there was still need for improvement. What I liked was the mass production of this rifle. It was absolutely no problem!
"The first question is also the most important question." Cyric said: "I think that the current submachine guns don’t have enough ammunition in their magazines. I only fired twice and the bullets were all gone. On the battlefield. , Changing the magazine frequently is the most dangerous for soldiers."
There are two types of magazines for this submachine gun, 32 rounds and 20 rounds. The version that Cyric used just now is a 20-round magazine version, which is a submachine gun! Bullets will be consumed violently! Only 20 rounds, even 32 rounds, is not enough!
The question raised by Cyric is quite sharp. On the battlefield, when changing magazines, it is the most dangerous. Many fighters were killed at this time.
(I checked a lot of information. There are a lot of opinions about the developer of this submachine gun. It is said that Hugo Schmeiser took nearly two years to develop it, and Heinrich Volmer took less than It took 5 months to make changes, and some said that Hugo-Himas developed the MP28Ⅱ submachine gun based on the MP18I, which was produced by Heinel Company, and then continued to improve its submachine gun, and developed the MP34 and MP36 submachine gun. Regarding Hu Ge, it is said to be from Henel Company. I don’t know which information to believe, so I just wrote Irma Company. Please don’t complain. Who has more accurate information, please send it to Book review area, let the hero of East China see it.)
