The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 432: Bogman's Gift



"Mr. Theodore Bergman, I now give you a chance. If you can persuade my subordinate to use the machine guns you produced, then good, all the light machine guns purchased by the Bavarian Army in the next 3 years will be used. The machine gun produced by your company!" The prince finished speaking, turned and left, leaving time for this fledgling gun designer.

"Hello, dear Major Carl, I now introduce you a new type of light machine gun, which can meet almost all your needs, such as continuous firepower, lighter weight, more comfortable shooting methods, and more High stability.” After speaking, the designer opened a grab box, and then easily placed a chic machine gun in front of Lieutenant Colonel Karl. "You can take a look at this machine gun first."

Carl was very interested when looking at this slender machine gun, which gave people a sharp and capable look. He tried to pick up the machine gun. "Oh my God, this machine gun is too light! Even the bipod is included. No more than 15kg, right?"

"Yes, the weight of this machine gun is only 12.9kg without ammunition, etc.!" Theodore Bogman said proudly.

"But I want to know how this machine gun is cooled? It does not have a cooling water bucket and no exhaust bucket. I guess this machine gun will overheat when it fires up to 300 rounds." The picky Lieutenant Colonel lowered the machine gun in his hand and was curious. Asked.

"It's very simple, just change a barrel. Look here." Bergman opened the latch on the heat pipe and the machine gun receiver. Then the entire barrel was unloaded, and the other hand grabbed the grip on the barrel of the machine gun, and with a slight shake of his wrist, the barrel inside fell off, and then he quickly pressed the other barrel. it is good. Reconnect with the machine gun receiver, the whole process does not exceed 30 seconds!

"Is it over?" Lieutenant Colonel Carl said somewhat surprised.

"Of course, this is over, you only need to prepare two spare barrels, then you don't need to bring any cooling water." Bergman smiled triumphantly.

"Can I take a look at the receiver part of this machine gun?" Lieutenant Colonel Carl was very satisfied. He didn't expect that the cooling problem that plagued a machine gun would be so easily solved.

"The principle of the receiver of this machine gun is similar to the principle of the experimental light machine gun just now. It is an air-guided principle, not a short rear seat type like the mg98 machine gun. This machine gun is the largest compared to the original The improvement is to make the receiver non-closed, and at the same time have a larger gap, which is not easy to be stuck by dust."

"The real classic of this machine gun is that it can quickly change the barrel and cool it by constantly changing the barrel. This machine gun may not be better than a water-cooled machine gun with sufficient cooling water in terms of firepower, but in a battlefield environment China is definitely your best friend!" Bogman said.

In the distance, looking at the two people talking in full swing, the prince called a depressed, because the core principle of this machine gun was proposed by him, but the first to complete the experiment was this Bogman and his team, and later The person first applied for a patent.......

In all fairness, the principle of the Lewis machine gun is very advanced, and the free automatic principle was later used on the fg42 paratrooper machine gun and the m60 general machine gun to illustrate this point. In history, this man named Theodore Bergman came up with an air-cooled mg15na light machine gun. It is a very good gun. There is no problem except that the barrel cannot be changed quickly. The prince was because of him. His name invited him to Bavaria.

However, after seeing the pirated Lewis machine gun in Bavaria, this guy found that the automatic principle of this machine gun is even better than the short-seat principle of the barrel that he made! So decisively threw what I made into the trash can, and then referenced the receiver of the Lewis machine gun, and at the same time redesigned a machine gun in accordance with the requirements of the prince to quickly replace the barrel. This is the newly released mg1900 light machine gun.

This new machine gun has a maximum rate of fire of only 800 rounds per minute. From a theoretical point of view, whether it is the design of the receiver or the theory of quick barrel replacement, it is actually very similar to the mg34 that appeared in the second war in history. Although there is still a gap in performance, it is enough to despise the existence of all other weapons in this era. Not to mention the Madsen machine gun that just appeared this year, even the Bren machine gun with its similar appearance is far inferior to this machine gun in terms of design!

"This is what I need!" When Theodore Bergman took out a 75-round drum, Lieutenant Colonel Carl was finally conquered by this machine gun. It has a light body, a barrel that can be quickly replaced, and A drum that can provide enough sustained firepower. After all of this is concentrated on one weapon, what else is unsatisfactory?

Both the prince and Lieutenant Colonel Carl have very high requirements for firepower continuity. They insist that if the ammunition storage system of a machine gun cannot carry more than 30 bullets, it will absolutely not work! Therefore, the prince requested that the machine gun can only choose two ways of supplying ammunition, one is the bullet chain, the other is the drum, and magazines are absolutely prohibited!

Maybe someone said, isn’t the British Bren machine gun a 30-round magazine? The Czech zb26 machine gun uses a 20-round magazine, while the American bar machine gun also uses a 20-round magazine. The fg42 also uses a 20-round side magazine.

How do you say this? The British themselves are also very opinionated about the fire continuity of the Bren machine gun, so they once equipped the Bren machine gun with 100 rounds of drums to improve the fire continuity. The zb26 is actually used a lot in the Chinese battlefield~www.novelhall.com~ In the face of Japanese crooked machine guns that have a more coffee table than zb26, zb26 is naturally a good thing!

As for the bar machine gun and fg42, this machine gun can be regarded as an automatic rifle to some extent. It was accompanied by the advance of the infantry, and the automatic firepower of the Americans standing and shooting relied on the Browning m1919. Besides, you can compare to such a rich American? The U.S. Marine Corps has 3 bars for 13 people in a combat squad. Although the Army only has 1 bar, there are still a lot of Garland! And the bar machine gun also has 40 rounds of magazines! As for the fg42 machine gun? It is said that this machine gun can be loaded with ammunition chain...

"I think it can even replace heavy machine guns. Just remove the bipod and replace it with a tripod! If possible, I hope to remove all mg98 machine guns and replace them with brand new mg1900 machine guns! "Lieutenant Colonel Carl said excitedly. Of course, he just said it. In fact, although this machine gun is easy to use, it has not been mass-produced. At most, there are a few experimental products. If nothing happens, most of the machine guns I use should still be The pirated Lewis, this machine gun is at best as a test product, walking on the battlefield.

"Remember, if you choose this machine gun, you must ensure that these guns will not fall into the hands of your opponents! The guns are in the hands of the people, and the guns must be in the hands of the people!" When this machine gun, the prince said so.
