Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Not to mention that the argument was quite effective. Not long after Yannick came to the office the next morning, Anne led a hobbling old man in. "Your Highness, Mr. Mauser is here."

An old man who looked to be in his seventies bowed tremblingly. "Hello, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yannick responded lukewarmly. "Hey, isn't this Mr. Mauser? What can I do for you to come here in person?" The disdainful reaction of the Mauser representative last time made him very unhappy. Although he would not wear small shoes for him, he was too lazy to look good. .

The old man smiled bitterly and went straight to the point. "Your Highness Yannick, I will stop talking nonsense. I have nothing to say about Voigt. I am willing to give you 15% of the shares."

"..." Did the old man Qiang regard him as a blackmailer? Yannick shook his head. "No, no, Mr. Mauser. I am not taking bribes. My last proposal was that I would exchange three-point drawings for the 12% of the shares. But now there is an additional condition. You have to change the caliber of the bullet." He took out three drawings and asked Annie to hand them to the old man.

The old man put on his reading glasses, opened the first drawing, and was stunned after taking one look. "Kar 98k? This locking method..."

Yannick nodded in response. "That's right, it's rear end lockout."

The lock is the connection method between the bolt and the barrel when firing. The purpose of the lock is to withstand the pressure on the base of the bullet when the bullet is fired and prevent the bolt from recoiling prematurely. Locking methods are divided into inertial locking and rigid locking: Inertial locking means that the bolt and barrel are not mechanically connected when firing, but are locked by the inertia of the mass of the bolt. There are free bolt type, semi-free bolt type, roller delay type and other types. Rigid locking is a form in which the bolt is directly connected to the barrel through a certain mechanism, and then an unlocking mechanism is used to release the bolt and recoil. There are types such as bolt rotary type, barrel swing type, clamp swing type, clamp spread type, tilt wedge type, etc.

In this way, a hundred flowers of locking methods are blooming, and of course many are just short-lived. At present, the most widely used is the rotary locking method, the representatives of which are the front-end locking of Germany's Mauser and the rear-end locking of the United Kingdom.

The front end locking of the Mauser is a characteristic of the Mauser bolt action. It was invented by the Mauser brothers in the late 19th century. Due to its simple structure and reliable locking, it has been used with little change for more than a hundred years. Even the bolts of later generations have The difference from the design of the Mauser brothers a hundred years ago can be said to be very small. There are two lugs in front of the bolt. After rotation, they will fit into the groove on the wall of the receiver behind the chamber. Since the locking position is just behind the chamber, the error of the bolt itself will not affect the shooting. Accuracy.

The rear-end locking is made by British Lee. Enfield rifle locking style. The lug is located at the rear of the bolt. In order to lock it, a groove must be dug in the middle of the receiver. The wall of the receiver must be made relatively thick. However, since the position of the handle and the lug are very close, this locking method The opening and closing stroke is much smoother than the Mauser bolt with the lug in the front. Because of this characteristic, coupled with Li. Enfield's ten-round magazine, the British Army claimed at the beginning of the First World War that a soldier could fire as many as 15 rounds per minute. When the British soldiers fired in volleys, the German soldiers felt as if they were being suppressed by machine gun fire. Such fierce indirect fire from a large area was something they would never forget. Lee in the "Crazy Minute" military documentary of later generations. The Enfield world record is 38 rounds/minute, and the entire process includes two reloads. What's even more exaggerated is that this high rate of fire is achieved while ensuring accuracy.

Yannick used this ten-round magazine and rear-end locking method on the upcoming Kar 98k revision. It also uses an aperture-type rear sight, which is easier to aim and hit the target than the Mauser 98k with a V-shaped rear sight. And to make production easier, the main components have been simplified.

The old man's face was a little ugly, and it was obvious that asking them to give up their proud front-end locking invention was not something that people were willing to do. He looked at Yannick, trying to save his front end lockout. "But Your Highness, the patent for back-end locking..."

Yannick curled his lips disdainfully. "Isn't their Model 3 an imitation of the Mauser-type (front-end locking) bolt? Even if they applied for a patent, how many years have passed now...the patent has expired long ago!" Of course he knew what Mauser was planning. The tone said. "Mr. Mauser, you must know that I am not here to discuss with you! You have to accept that it will be easy to handle. If you can't accept it, you can leave now!!"

Why! After a while, the old man sighed deeply and opened the next page.

"MG3?NSV?"

For the MG3 machine gun, Yannick chose the MG3 machine gun, which has reliable action and strong firepower. It widely uses stamping parts, spot welding, and spot riveting processes in its structure. The production process is simple and the cost is low.

The first improved version of the MG-42 that fired NATO standard bullets. It was originally produced by Rheinmetall based on the actual measured drawings of the MG42 during World War II. It was named MG1 after only changing the caliber. Then several minor improvements were made to MG1 and it became MG3. Therefore, the later MG3 machine gun and the MG42 produced in Germany during World War II not only have high parts commonality, but also have very similar appearances. It is easy to confuse the two if you do not look at the inscriptions on the guns or the braking device on the muzzle.

What makes him most satisfied is that unlike the MG42, the MG3 can adjust the rate of fire.

Equipped with a 550-gram bolt and equipped with an N-type buffer, the rate of fire can reach 1,200 rounds per minute. When replaced with a bolt that weighs 950 grams and is equipped with an R-type buffer, the rate of fire can be reduced to 700 to 900 rounds per minute.

Even if you don't change the weight of the bolt, you can directly change the spring inertia rod in the MG3 body to another direction. The inertia rod spring will push the wedge iron forward, thereby increasing the unlocking resistance, prolonging the unlocking time, and reducing the acceleration of the bolt. It can also be reduced Rate of fire.

The NSV Mauser mentioned was a heavy machine gun developed by the Soviet Union in later generations. Due to its excellent overall performance and innovations in many structures, it was widely used as a general-purpose large-caliber machine gun for infantry by members of the Warsaw Pact, competing with the Browning M2 large-caliber heavy machine gun widely used in the West. Decades later, some NATO member states also recommended and tried NSV to replace the old M2.

If the US military at this time did not have the M1921 to improve and officially name it M2, Yannick would definitely take it and use it for his own purposes.

Even if he wants to discuss authorization issues with the United States, the United States may not agree. In addition, the NSV is much lighter than the M2 and has a much faster rate of fire, so Yannick simply used it to develop it.

"..." After reading all the information, Mauser was shocked. He was also a designer when he was young. Of course he saw the value of these design drawings. It looked like they were written by a master. It was hard to imagine that they were made by the Crown Prince in front of him. hand.
