The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 432 Bergman's gift

"Mr. Theodore Bergmann, I will give you a chance now. If you can persuade my subordinate to use the machine gun you produced, then well, all the light machine guns purchased by the Bavarian Army within the next three years will be adopted. The machine gun produced by your company!" After the prince finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving time for the fledgling gun designer. \u003c/p\u003e"Hello, Dear Major Carl, I will now introduce you to a new light machine gun, which can meet almost all your needs, such as continuous firepower, lighter weight, and more comfortable shooting methods , and high stability." After speaking, the designer opened a grab box, and then easily placed a uniquely shaped machine gun in front of Lieutenant Colonel Carl. "You can take a look at this machine gun first."\u003c/p\u003e Karl was very interested in this slender machine gun that gave people a strong and capable feeling at first glance. He tried to pick up the machine gun, "God Why, this machine gun is too light! It doesn’t exceed 15kg including the bipod, right?”\u003c/p\u003e“That’s right, this machine gun weighs only 12.9kg without ammunition!” Theodore Bo German said proudly. \u003c/p\u003e"But I want to know how this machine gun is cooled? It doesn't have a cooling bucket or a suction bucket. I estimate that this machine gun will overheat after firing a maximum of 300 rounds." The picky Lieutenant Colonel Carl put down the Asked curiously behind the machine gun. \u003c/p\u003e"It's very simple, just change the barrel. Look here." Bergman opened the heat dissipation pipe and the bayonet at the machine gun receiver. Then the entire barrel was unloaded, and the other hand grabbed the grip on the barrel of the machine gun. With a light flick of the wrist, the barrel inside fell off, and then he quickly pressed the other barrel good. Reconnect with the machine gun receiver, the whole process does not exceed 30 seconds! \u003c/p\u003e "Is this the end?" Lieutenant Colonel Carl said in surprise. \u003c/p\u003e"Of course, that's the end of it. You only need to prepare two spare barrels, so you don't need to bring any cooling water." Bergman smiled proudly. \u003c/p\u003e"Can I have a look at the receiver of this machine gun?" Lieutenant Colonel Karl was very satisfied with this. He did not expect that a cooling problem that plagued the machine gun would be easily solved in this way. \u003c/p\u003e"The principle of the receiver of this machine gun is similar to that of the experimental light machine gun just now. Compared with the biggest improvement, the receiver is made non-closed, and at the same time, the gap is larger, and it is not easy to be stuck by dust."\u003c/p\u003e"The real classic of this machine gun is that it can quickly replace the barrel, Cooling is done by constantly changing the barrel. This machine gun may not last as long as a water-cooled machine gun with enough cooling water, but it is definitely your best friend in a battlefield environment!” Bergman said. \u003c/p\u003eIn the distance, looking at the two people talking in full swing, the prince felt depressed, because he proposed the core principle of this machine gun, but it was Bergman and his who completed the experiment first. group, and the latter was the first to apply for a patent...  \u003c/p\u003eIn all fairness, the principle of the Lewis machine gun is very advanced, and the freestyle 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. Except that the barrel cannot be replaced quickly, there is no problem. At the beginning, the prince was because of him His famous name invited him to Bavaria. \u003c/p\u003eHowever, after seeing the pirated Lewis machine gun in Bavaria, this buddy found that the automatic principle of this machine gun is better than the short recoil principle of the barrel he made! So I threw the things I got out of the garbage bin decisively.

Then refer to the receiver of the Lewis machine gun, and at the same time combine the requirements of the prince to quickly replace the barrel to redesign a machine gun. This is the mg1900 light machine gun that just came out. \u003c/p\u003eIn addition to the maximum rate of fire of this new machine gun is 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 World War II in history. Similar. 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 that looks similar to it is far inferior to this machine gun in terms of design! \u003c/p\u003e"This is what I need!" When Theodore Bergman took out a 75-round drum, Lieutenant Colonel Karl was finally conquered by this machine gun. Well, there are also drums that can provide enough sustained firepower. When it's all concentrated in one weapon, what's not to be satisfied with? \u003c/p\u003eBoth Prince and Lieutenant Colonel Karl have very high requirements for firepower continuity. They insist that if the ammunition storage system of a machine gun cannot carry more than 30 rounds of bullets, it will definitely not work! Therefore, the prince requires that the machine gun can only choose two feeding methods, one is the belt, and the other is the drum. The magazine is absolutely prohibited! \u003c/p\u003eSome people may say, isn't the British Bren machine gun just 30 rounds? The Czech zb26 machine gun uses 20 rounds of magazines, while the American bar machine gun also uses 20 rounds of magazines. The fg42 also uses a 20-round side magazine. \u003c/p\u003eHow do you say this? The British themselves have a lot of opinions on the persistence of firepower of the Bren machine gun, so they once equipped the Bren machine gun with 100 rounds of drums to improve the persistence of firepower. The zb26 is actually used a lot in the Chinese battlefield. Facing the crooked Japanese machine gun that is more coffee table than the zb26, the zb26 is naturally a good thing! \u003c/p\u003eAs for the bar machine gun and fg42, in fact, this kind of machine gun can be regarded as an automatic rifle to some extent. It is to accompany the infantry forward, and the automatic firepower of the American stance shooting relies on the Browning m1919. Besides, is this local tyrant in the United States comparable to you? A combat squad of 13 members of the US Marine Corps has 3 bars. Although the Army only has 1 bar, they still have 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 a belt.... \u003c/p\u003e"I think it can even replace the heavy machine gun, just remove the bipod and replace it with a tripod! If possible, I hope to remove all the mg98 machine guns and replace them with brand new ones mg1900 machine gun!" Lieutenant Colonel Carl said excitedly. Of course, he just said that. In fact, although this machine gun is easy to use, it has not yet been mass-produced. The pirated version of Lewis, this machine gun is at most used as a test product, and it has been on the battlefield. \u003c/p\u003e"Remember, if you choose this machine gun, you must ensure that these guns will not fall into the opponent's hands! The gun is there, and the gun must be there if the man is not there!" Lieutenant Colonel Carl came up excitedly and said When this machine gun was what he needed, the prince said so. \u003c/p\u003eThe third one is here~~~!
