Chapter 1181 Buy! Purchase! Purchase!
It's really nice to be able to find the gun you want and be able to buy it as often as you want.
Gao Yang and the others were in a good mood. They were just waiting for him at the gun stall to verify their identities. They were quite anxious. They were waiting to pay and then move on. But after buying a few more guns, they had to verify their identities and wait for him. Registering the gun number is really troublesome.
It is easy and convenient to buy a gun in the United States, but there are many restrictions. If you want to buy a gun, you must be a US citizen or a green card holder. You must not have a criminal record or a record of using illegal drugs, be wanted, or have a history of violence. Only if there are a series of problems such as this can you be qualified to buy a gun legally.
Gao Yang and the others' identities were all fake identities given by Downey Jr., so of course they couldn't have any bad records. They were all innocent, just like saints.
There is no problem with your identity. You can buy a gun with your driver's license. Then the vendor who sells the gun has to take out a form and ask Gao Yang and others to fill it out on the spot. After filling out the form, the seller will take the form filled out by Gao Yang and others for verification. Gao Yang and the others can only pay for the guns after confirming their identities.
Because it is a gun show, there is a dedicated service point at the gun show with a lot of staff. It is very convenient to verify identities and other things.
While waiting for the stall owner to go to the service point with the form to verify the authenticity of Gao Yang and the others' identities, Gao Yang looked around and said anxiously: "It's convenient to buy guns at gun shows, but it's still too slow. How long will it take?"
Jack smiled and said: "Next time I see any gun I like, I will buy it for you. I have a firearms dealer's license and there are very few procedures required to buy a gun. I will just go back to Portland and complete one more procedure for you. It's more convenient." "
Gao Yang smiled and said: "If I had told you earlier, if I had known it would be convenient for you to buy it, we wouldn't have waited."
Just as Gao Yang was speaking, he saw Yelena trotting through the crowd with an anxious look on her face.
Gao Yang rushed over and said loudly: "What's wrong? Walk slower. What happened?"
Yelena came to Gao Yang and said with an aggrieved look: "I saw a gun. You must like it. I want to buy it for you, but I don't have a green card. I can't buy it. I can't even give you a surprise."
Yelena doesn't need a fake identity at all. She stays in the United States as an international student and has neither a green card nor a U.S. citizen, so she cannot buy a gun based on her identity.
Gao Yang thought something had happened, but after hearing Yelena's words of grievance and regret. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I thought something had happened. It doesn't matter. I registered with my identity. Isn't it the same if you pay me as a gift?"
What kind of gun? Let's go take a look. "
After Yelena sighed regretfully, she waved and said: "You must like it. It's Mauser C96. Didn't you tell me that when you were a child, you watched movies and hoped to get a Mauser C96."
Hear it high. Immediately said: "Let's go take a look."
Yelena took Gao Yang's hand, and after squeezing through the crowd, pointed to a stall and said, "This is it."
Under the guidance of Gao Yang, and in order to follow Gao Yang's favor, Yelena developed a strong interest in guns, so she doesn't know anything about guns now. But there is little research.
Yelena picked up a short-barreled box cannon and said excitedly: "Do you like it? It comes with the original wooden box. It was produced in 1927."
Gao Yang didn't even look at the gun in Yelena's hand, but hugged Yelena. After kissing Yelena hard on the face, she turned around and looked at the box of cannons that were slowly arranging, and said excitedly: "Do I like it? I like it so much, this is the Big Red Nine! This big mirror, Facker, my God, this is a big-eye box made in China, a .45-caliber Jinzhong Type 17, this is, this is a twenty-ring long tube with a large mirror, this is a big-bellied box, this, this It's Jilaide! Look here, it's written in Chinese characters, Jilaide Pistol!"
Gao Yang almost shed tears, he was so excited.
Gao Yang picked up a gun, took a look and told what the gun was called in China, then quickly put it down and picked up another one. When he introduced it to Yelena, he also mixed Chinese and English very quickly.
Gao Yang discovered a treasure trove, to be precise, Yelena discovered it, and then brought him over. A stall was filled with box cannons, seven in total. In addition to the ones Yelena was holding, there were also some on the table. Seven handfuls.
The person looking after the stall was an old man with completely white hair and beard. He was sitting behind the stall and looking at all the models listed in front of him. He suddenly asked: "Are you from China?"
Gao Yang nodded and said: "Yes, I am Chinese."
The old man nodded and said solemnly: "At first glance, except for Chinese people, few people are so familiar with these Mauser pistols."
Gao Yang held an 11.43mm Type 17 imitation from Taiyuan Arsenal and said excitedly: "Sir, are you selling these guns? I mean, are they all for sale?"
The old man sighed and said helplessly: "Yes, sell them all."
Gao Yang immediately said excitedly: "I want it all! I want it all! I want it all!"
The old man seemed a little embarrassed. After looking at Gao Yang, he said in a deep voice: "But these are very expensive."
Gao Yang waved his hand and said indifferently: "Buy! Buy! Buy!"
Why is Gao Yang excited? Because, this is the plot, and any Chinese who has watched old movies will understand it.
Mauser C96 originally referred specifically to the Mauser military pistol with a short barrel, but later it was basically used to collectively refer to Mauser military pistols, as well as imitation models with complex systems. The official name of Mauser C96 in China should be called Zilaide, or Shell gun, but the most widely circulated name should be box gun.
Gao Yang was holding a box gun. He was fascinated by this kind of big gun that he had seen since childhood. He might not think about using it, but he definitely wanted to collect it.
When it comes to box cannons, there are too many things to talk about.
Except for Germany, which purchased a small amount of equipment during World War I, no other country used Mauser C96 as its standard pistol equipment. After World War I, China was unable to obtain automatic weapons due to an arms blockade by Western powers, so it imported a large number of Mauser C96 Used as a submachine gun.
In 1931, Mauser modified the Mauser C96 and launched a version that used a twenty-round detachable magazine and could shoot semi-automatically or fully automatically. The Mauser factory called it a rapid-fire type, while China called it a rapid-fire model. As a speed machine, this is the earliest automatic pistol that can fire continuously.
The Mauser factory produced a total of about one million Mauser military pistols, of which about 700,000 were sold to China. The number of imitations produced by other countries is several times that of the Mauser factory, such as Spain and Canada, which have imitated a large number of Mauser C96, similarly, most of these imitation Mauser C96s are also exported to China.
The reason why the Mauser C96 is not popular in Europe is that this pistol is too big and inconvenient to carry as a pistol, and the recoil is also large, and the muzzle jump is very serious. When used as a pistol, the power is excessive and difficult to control. When used as a submachine gun, the muzzle is used. It jumps too much and can't fire accurately, and most importantly, the gun is too expensive.
But why is it so popular in China? At the beginning, it was helpless and had no choice. This is a very important reason. But in the later stage, when China could import other weapons, it still imported a large number of box guns, just because the Chinese knew how to do it correctly. Use box cannon.
The Chinese made a fool of themselves with box artillery, and the problem of muzzle jumping that troubled Europeans was perfectly solved by the Chinese simply by firing the gun sideways.
Pull out the short and powerful twenty-ring big-bellied box, but turn the gun sideways, point it at the enemy crowd at close range, and hold the trigger. The twenty rounds of bullets are swept out horizontally, and they are all in one fell. The Chinese are holding the box cannon. This is what it does when using a submachine gun.
Only Chinese people like Mauser C96, and only Chinese people can use Mauser C96. This is recognized internationally. Anyone who collects this pistol must know this, because most of the Mauser C96 pistols that remain today are It has something to do with China.
The old man who sold the gun should have been happy that he could sell the gun, but after Gao Yang decided to buy all his guns, the old man looked sad.
After sighing and looking at the pile of Mauser in front of him again, the old man sighed softly and said: "Okay, if you want them all, then I'll sell them all to you. Sell these guns to a Chinese. It’s the right destination, but sir, these guns of mine are not cheap.”
Gao Yang was so excited. When he saw Yelena holding a C96, who was a little embarrassed, Gao Yang put down the big eye box in his hand, took the gun in Yelena's hand, and hugged Yelena again. He said loudly: "My dear, I am so happy. I like the gift you gave me so much."
After speaking to Yelena, Gao Yang said excitedly to the old man: "As long as your offer is reasonable, I will never counter-offer."
At this moment, Li Jinfang and Cui Bo had completed the formalities and came over with Jack and the others.
After seeing the pistol in front of Gao Yang, Cui Bo and Li Jinfang were stunned for a moment, and then they said in unison: "Box cannon!"
Cui Bo said excitedly: "I am Ciao! Grab it! Buy, buy, buy!"
Gao Yang glared and said loudly: "Don't even think about it this time! This is a gift from Yelena. I tell you two, get out of here!"
Just when Gao Yang and the others started to fight again, Jack looked at the old man and said with surprise: "Are you Mr. Federer?"
The old man glanced at Jack and said with a puzzled face: "I am Federer, who are you?"
Jack excitedly said: "My name is Jack, from Arilan Mawson Studio. I once visited your collection. How could you sell your collection?" (To be continued)
