Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

In the end, Yang Bing and the others found a design drawing that was more in line with Lin Yi's requirements from a large number of firearms drawings, and then modified it.

After drawing hundreds of drawings and building seven or eight prototype guns, I finally settled on a machine gun.

When Yang Bing asked someone to bring up the prototype gun, Lin Yi's face was full of weirdness.

Because this gun is really like the MG-34 general-purpose machine gun of later generations.

Lin Yi thought for a while and he could confirm that he did not give Yang Bing the design drawings of the MG-34.

He asked Yang Bing to design a universal machine gun, partly because the imperial army really needed such a universal machine gun.

On the other hand, Lin Yi wanted to test the level of Yang Bing's weapons research institute.

Therefore, he deliberately did not give Yang Bing the drawings of the MG-34, but gave him other machine gun drawings for him to explore.

But in the end, Yang Bing and the others not only made a decent-looking general-purpose machine gun, but they also made it look so much like an MG-34.

This made Lin Yi sigh with emotion, sometimes, fate is so clever.

"Your Majesty, according to your request, our weapons research institute designed this universal machine gun."

"This gun uses an air-cooled cooling system, which greatly reduces the weight of the entire gun."

"And according to your request, Your Majesty, in order to achieve dual use of light and heavy. Therefore, when we designed this general-purpose machine gun, we also adopted two methods of ammunition supply."

"That is to say, this gun can be fed by drum drums or belts. The specific method of feeding ammunition can be used by soldiers to make their own decisions."

"In order to achieve the effect of a light machine gun, we added a bipod to the muzzle to facilitate the stability of the gun body. If it is replaced with our tripod, it can be used as a heavy machine gun."

"At the same time, in order to reduce the pressure on logistics, we designed this gun with a caliber of 7.92 mm, which can use the same ammunition as the [-]-year-old Empire standard rifle in our hands."

Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction after hearing Yang Bing's introduction.

Then he continued to ask: "What about changing the barrel? Is it convenient?"

When Yang Bing heard Lin Yi's words, he did not answer. Instead, he walked directly to the general machine gun, and then twisted hard against a small buckle next to the barrel.

Suddenly, the barrel of the gun, which was still tightly sealed, was ejected from the side.

Yang Bing took action and pulled the barrel out of the protective cover.

"Your Majesty, there is a small button on the left side of the barrel. Just press it lightly and the barrel will pop out automatically."

"At this point the soldier can replace the barrel, reinsert the new barrel into the protective cover, and push it back in. Just like this."

As he spoke, Yang Bing pushed the barrel of the gun hard, and heard a click, and the entire barrel became tight again.

"Okay, very good!" Lin Yi looked at Yang Bing and praised without hesitation.

"Find someone to test fire and see how powerful it is." Lin Yi looked at Yang Bing and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Bing nodded and waved to a soldier next to him.

The soldier immediately ran over carrying an ammunition box.

The soldier placed the ammunition box on the ground, took out a prototype drum that was linked together, and inserted the drum into the underside of the machine gun.

The soldier then pulled the gun safety, began to aim at a target 50 meters away, and pulled the trigger.

"Da da da da da da~"

The machine gun made a crisp sound, and sawdust flew across the target.

In less than ten seconds, all the one hundred bullets in the drum were fired.

Then, the soldier removed the drum and inserted a new one, but this time, the soldier no longer lay down on the spot, but put the machine gun on his waist and shot at the target in front of him. .

Then he moved his steps while shooting.

Lin Yi could see that although the machine gun had almost no accuracy in the soldier's hands, it could indeed be held in someone's arms and fired.

This means that this gun is really light enough. Otherwise, it would be impossible for soldiers to shoot while walking.

After another drum session, someone ran over with a tripod.

The soldier quickly fixed the tripod on the ground. The soldier holding the machine gun stuck the machine gun in his hand on the tripod.

Then, he directly pulled out a bullet chain from the ammunition box next to him, then pressed the bullet into the magazine, and then he fired at the target in front of him.

After probably firing more than fifty rounds, the soldier put his hand on the tripod, pulled out a bolt, and then raised the tripod sharply. He immediately changed from a lying down shooting position to a kneeling position.

After firing more than fifty rounds of bullets, the soldier lifted the tripod upwards and changed from a kneeling position to a standing position.

At the same time, the entire machine gun muzzle not only shoots forward, but also shoots in several directions including up, down, left and right.

At the maximum elevation angle, this machine gun directly turned into an anti-aircraft machine gun.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi was shocked. How could he still play like this?

When a bullet chain and 200 rounds of bullets were fired, the soldier stopped and stood aside, waiting for orders.

Lin Yi watched the firearms demonstration end and took the lead in applauding.

"Mr. Yang, I am very satisfied with your development of this gun. Send the sample gun to His Majesty as soon as possible, and then arrange production as soon as possible." Lin Yi looked at Yang Bing and said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will send the sample gun to His Majesty after waiting." Yang Bing said quickly.

"By the way, Chief Yang, how did you come up with the idea to design this gun into three shooting positions? I remember I didn't ask you to do this." Lin Yi suddenly asked a question.

"Besides, your maximum elevation angle is not for dealing with enemies on the ground, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, although Your Majesty didn't say anything, I often communicate with Director Feng from the aircraft research institute next door."

"I learned that they are developing a new type of weapon that can fly into the sky, so I feel that in the future our enemies may not only be on the ground, but even in the sky."

"In this case, Nachen feels that we should take precautions before they happen and take the lead in developing an enemy that can attack the sky."

"In this way, even if the enemy appears, we won't be in a hurry." Yang Bing looked at Lin Yi and said slowly.

After hearing Yang Bing's words, Lin Yi reached out and patted him hard on the shoulder.

"Very good, you are very good." Lin Yi nodded, and then continued: "You are right, our future enemies will not only be on the ground, but also in the sky. Since you can think of this, then I will Let me give you another task."

"I am extremely honored to be able to serve the prince." Yang Bing quickly lowered his head and said.

"Since you have thought about using machine guns to deal with enemies in the sky, have you ever considered using cannons? They are the kind of cannons that can be used both high and low."
