Chapter 715: 715: Maxim M1894

The commander of the Free Magic Alliance in the Sino Great Plains is Nimitz, the only great magic knight mentor in the magic capital.

He is holding a captured Maxim M1894 rifle in his hand, which is different from the existing revolver rifles and single-shot breech-loading rifles.

The Maxim M1894 rifle uses a lever-action bolt action and a built-in tubular magazine for ammunition.

Since most of the current rifles are based on single-shot loading, this means that only one bullet can be loaded at a time, which greatly affects the soldier's continuous shooting ability.

Therefore, Foer made a built-in tubular magazine at the bottom of the barrel, which can be loaded with more than ten rounds of bullets at a time, and combined with the quick unloading of the lever-type bolt action, this rifle has far surpassed single-shot rifles in terms of continuous firepower. .

Facts have proved that the performance and power of the Maxim M1894 rifle have greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the new army of the Maxim Empire.

Not just the Maxim M1894 rifle, but what angered Nimitz the most was a weird weapon with ten barrels.

I learned from the prisoners that the name of the new weapon was a rotary machine gun.

The most terrifying thing about this revolving machine gun is the continuous shooting of each bullet.

The Gatling rotary machine gun uses a specially developed metal shell ammunition, which uses a 14mm caliber pointed bullet. The gun uses a tapered bore with a larger diameter at the rear of the bore, making it easier for the projectile to enter the barrel .

Therefore, this Gatling machine gun became an important weapon for the Maxim Empire to control and expand its colonies. The improved Gatling machine gun had a maximum rate of fire of 1,200 rounds per minute, which is an astonishing number on this continent.

Taking the Type 56 light machine gun currently in service in the United Army as the standard, its rate of fire is not enough, only 700 rounds per minute.

However, there is also a problem with the Gatling machine gun. Its biggest weakness is that the shooter is emotionally agitated and cannot control himself because the distance between the enemy and himself is getting closer during the charge of the enemy on the battlefield. You have to turn the handle faster and faster, causing the machine gun to overheat and jam or explode.

However, the Maxim Empire engraved a heat-dissipating magic circuit on the barrel, which minimized the problem of machine gun overheating, jamming or blasting.

Foer is even considering whether to combine magic with the Gatling machine gun, so that it can be controlled automatically without the need for soldiers to crank it, so that the speed of rotation is more stable, and it is more suitable for various battlefield environments.

It is this Gatling machine gun with a 14mm caliber that can easily pierce the armor of the Free Magic Alliance Army. The largest casualties of the Free Magic Alliance Army come from this weapon, not to mention the shells that fall from the sky from time to time. Not even the location of the shell was found.

To be precise, they are still unable to adapt to this mode of the enemy launching an attack from more than ten kilometers away.

"I heard that the Commonwealth of Cleveland was the first country equipped with rifles besides the Maxim Empire. Let Montgomery be careful and put away his arrogance." Nimitz handed the Maxim M1894 rifle in his hand to the magician beside him. division.

"yes!"

"No matter what method you use, you must imitate this weapon, and at the same time design protective equipment that can withstand this Gatling machine gun." Nimitz's order made the faces of several magicians around him bitter.

The magic industry in the city of magic is indeed very advanced, but it is a small-scale industry after all, and industrialized mass production has never been considered. Rifles like the Maxim M1894 rifle can indeed be easily imitated by using magic, but if they want to Scale production is somewhat difficult.

The imitation in Nimitz's mouth is absolutely impossible to just imitate one or two.

"Yes, Legion Commander, we will do our best."

Silge, the person in charge of magic equipment accompanying the army, said with a bitter face.

"Not doing your best, but doing your best," Nimitz corrected.

"yes!"

This situation is the same in the East God Sect, but they do not have the foundation of the magic industry in the magic capital, so they are very aware of their own shortcomings. In fact, they have been researching their own rifles a long time ago.

At the beginning, they mainly developed revolver rifles. They adopted the rifling of single-shot breech-loading rifles. However, they found that the revolvers would bring violent flames when they were fired. If they were used for a long time on the battlefield, they would easily burn the palms of soldiers. , and at that time, the East God religion had not completely broken with the Maxim Empire, and research and development of rifles was just a long-standing tradition of the East God religion.

Don't be abandoned by the new era, regardless of whether it has dates or not, let's say it after a shot. Once it is a cross-age weapon, they will not fall too much.

Because it was just a tradition, they didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning, and everything was started from scratch, and the Eastern God Religion didn't invest too much money. They had to pay attention to it until they lost this battle.

Fortunately, they had researched in this area a long time ago, and they couldn’t design a new type of rifle for the time being, so they improved the revolver with the Eastern God religion. Compared with the original revolver rifle of Maxim’s enemy country, the accuracy of the Eastern god revolver rifle It is even higher, and the effective range reaches 200 meters, which is barely usable.

The Maxim M1894 rifle seized this time has brought great inspiration to the scientific researchers of the East God religion. They actually designed a new breech-loading rifle, but it uses a tubular magazine for ammunition, which is common in the mainland today. It is definitely considered advanced in an environment where single-playing rifles are still mainstream.

This gun is based on the improvement of a single-shot breech-loading rifle, so the Eastern God added two locking protrusions to the front of the bolt to make the locking stronger.

This is also the first bolt-action rifle created by the mainland.

It's a pity that it is impossible to use it in this war. They can only use simple revolver rifles to fight.

Compared with the Eastern God religion, which had been researched a long time ago, at least it can be equipped with a revolver rifle. The Free Magic Alliance, which has always been extremely confident in its own equipment, has never considered equipping a rifle. Instead, at the expo, Maxi The power of the rifles brought by the Mu Empire was also reduced, causing the capital of magic to miscalculate its power, as if they didn't put too much thought into the new weapons.

Now it is too late to rush production, but many countries in the southern continent are equipped with rifles. The Free Magic Alliance can only forcefully confiscate the rifles equipped by various countries and send them to the front line for the Free Magic Alliance to use.

This is an unequal war. If it wasn't for the fact that the top powerhouses in the capital of magic and Eastern God were stronger than the Maxim Empire, they would have been defeated by the Maxim Empire long ago.

However, in the face of the aggressiveness of the Maxim Empire, the Southwestern Allied Forces could only retreat step by step, exchanging space for time.

At the same time, the capital of magic also slowed down the offensive in the northern part of the mainland. The momentum of the Maxim Empire was too strong for them to be distracted.
