Chapter 117 New Submachine Gun (Plus 7)

Furtwängler left in high spirits. Cyric was very satisfied with the exchange. He asked Furtwängler to compose the music. It was just a piggyback. The point was to keep these bright minds in Germany!

This matter needs to come to an end temporarily, and contacts with other scientists need to be gradually expanded in the future.

As for now, Cyric's most important thing is the equipment of the 1st Armored Division!

Tanks are fully equipped, as well as armored vehicles, and submachine guns!

Therefore, after officially taking office as the commander of the Waffen SS, Cyric stayed in the barracks for less than a month, then took a few men and headed for the Elma Arsenal.

It is located in the important Ruhr industrial area in Germany, and there are various factories everywhere, which is the premise for the German war machine to start.

On the first day Cyric arrived in the Panzer Division, the Irma factory, also known as the Erfurt Machine Works, had given the factory an order to build a new submachine gun.

And after receiving Cyric's order, in less than a month, they took out the prototype gun, and the speed was quite fast!

Sitting in the car, thinking about the report from Irma Corporation, Cyric knew in his heart that it was all due to another person.

Heinrich Vollmer, the German firearms master, as early as 1912, when he was only 24 years old, Vollmer founded the Vollmer Company, dedicated to firearms research.

10 years later, he improved the MP18 submachine gun used in World War I, added a vertical grip on the wooden front support, and improved portability and action reliability. The improved gun was called the MP25.

This gun received funding from the German military and has been improved to the MP30. As a result, it failed to pass the acceptance of the weapons and equipment inspection department because it did not have a barrel holster.

As a result, by 1930 the military had terminated its sponsorship. While developing improved submachine guns, Vollmer also signed a large number of gun masks production contracts with the military. As a result, thousands of gun masks were sold out, resulting in a backlog, funds could not be returned, and the company faced bankruptcy.

Under this circumstance, in October 1931, Irma Company decided to acquire all the sales rights of Vollmer Company at a low price. It originally thought that it could only be sold abroad. Unexpectedly, this submachine gun actually ushered in a turning point again!

"General Cyric, you are very welcome." Berthold Gepper, the company's president, warmly said to Cyric. The No. 2 figure in the Workers' Party is now a household name in Germany.

"I heard that our submachine gun has already launched a prototype gun?" Cyric said to Terhold.

"Yes, this way, please," Berthold said.

Behind the company is the shooting range. At this time, a jet-black submachine gun has been prepared here!

As expected by Cyric, this gun is very similar to the MP36 in history, but it was manufactured a year earlier!

"According to the requirements of the army, it needs to be a compact submachine gun that can be used in armored vehicles and must have sufficient firepower, so we developed this submachine gun." Hugo Schmay, who followed Berthold Se said that at this time, he was already the main designer in the arsenal.

"This is an improvement on our original EMP submachine gun, changing the wooden fixed stock to a folding stock; installing a small grip to enhance shooting stability; adding hook-shaped rails under the barrel to prevent the The gun slid backwards when firing inside."

"At the same time, to reduce the mass of the gun, we punched some longitudinal grooves in the steel receiver; added a large circular cutout on the outside of the feed port; the lower receiver is made of lighter Buckley plastic ;Cancel the unnecessary single and burst speed machines; the original rod-type magazine buckle behind the feed port has been changed to a button-type and moved to the left side of the receiver." Hu Ge introduced to Cyric.

Cyric picked up the submachine gun, and naturally, holding the upper end of the magazine in his left hand and the small grip in his right hand, he pulled the bolt and aimed at the target in front.

"Tudu chu." The crisp sound of gunshots came. With the sound of gunfire, the 9mm bullet bullet flew out of the gun and flew to the target in front. At the same time, the bullet ejection port on the right side hit one by one. The bullet casings flew out!

This scene is really shocking!

Due to the use of pistol ammunition, the recoil of the submachine gun is very small, and Cyric can easily complete the shooting action without using the stock.

Others were immediately envious of Cyric. This submachine gun only exists inside the factory. Ordinary outsiders don't know how to operate it yet, but General Cyric can easily control it!

Moreover, five of the bullets just fired hit the target! Good head!

Berthold is very excited, just look at Cyric's performance now, this gun can finally be finalized!

"Tututu." This time, Cyric opened the folded butt, shot against the shoulder, and completed a burst of fire again.

Asked about the smell of gunpowder smoke, Cyric put down the gun: "Well, this gun feels okay, but there are still a few questions, let's discuss it together in the conference room."

question! General Cyric is simply amazing! After you have just tried it, you can comment! This made Berthold surprised and happy. The surprise is that it still needs to be improved. The joy is that the mass production of this rifle is absolutely no problem!

"The first and most important question," Cyric said, "I think the current submachine guns don't have enough bullets in their magazines. I just fired two shots, and the bullets were exhausted. On the battlefield , changing the magazine frequently is the most dangerous for the soldier."

This submachine gun has two types of magazines, 32 rounds and 20 rounds, and the version that Cyric used just now is a 20-round magazine. This is a submachine gun! Bullets will be consumed violently! Only 20 rounds, even 32 rounds, is not enough!

The question raised by Cyric is quite acute. On the battlefield, when changing the magazine, it is the most dangerous. Many soldiers were killed at this time.

(I checked a lot of information, and there are many opinions about the developer of this submachine gun. It is said that Hugo Schmeisser spent nearly two years developing it, and Heinrich Vollmer spent less than It took 5 months to make revisions, and some say that Hugo-Cimas developed the MP28II submachine gun on the basis of the MP18I, which was produced by Heinel, and then continued to improve its submachine gun, and developed the MP34 and MP36 submachine gun. As for Hugo, it is said to be from Heinel Company. I don't know which information to believe, so I simply wrote Elma Company, please don't complain, who has more accurate information, please send it to Book review area, let the hero of East China see it.)
