Chapter 63: Rivals in the Market
"Roller delayed locking... I haven't heard of this design for a long time.
"Paula, are you worried that this design will steal your business?"
"I say, Camelia, how is this possible? The Holy Church is now relying on the help of us Japanese people to produce weapons. But it is obvious that they can't steal my business. Even if their current fully automatic cavalry guns have good performance and attract the favor of militia and police officers outside."
In Ruger Company, Paula had no worries at all about the Holy Church hiring Japanese people to build an arsenal in the Western Province today, specifically for the Holy Church to fight against global mind control and even reunify the human race.
And Paula actually didn't have much objection to this matter. You know, the Holy Church has money, and is willing to invest in building factories and hiring Japanese people to produce weapons and equipment to send money to the Krurod Empire, which has been approved by Congress.
It has to be said that the church is an institution that specializes in sucking money, and it is not known whether the Holy Church has made a lot of money since the first day of its establishment.
As for the so-called roller delayed locking...how to say ?
In order to ensure that the cities under its control have sufficient weapons and equipment to ensure safety, the Holy Church brought back a gun design that had appeared before but quickly disappeared and was conducive to mass production.
At the same time, in order to better reduce costs, the arsenal invested by the Holy Church was naturally under the guidance of the Meng family to improve and produce the kind of broadcaster that can generate special infrasound waves.
In general, it is not a bad thing for the Krulod Empire to have such an external force with plenty of money to pay taxes to the Krulod Empire on a regular basis and provide a certain amount of jobs for the people of the Krulod Empire.
After all, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy. What's more, the Holy Church The Holy Church is not like any other church organization. It is extremely rigid and has no idea of flexibility. In addition, the purpose of the Holy Church is similar to that of the Krurod Empire. It also has the idea of restoring the country.
Yes.
Restoring the country.
Because after all the intelligent races in the world who do not know magic or are born without magic resistance have become zombies with glowing eyes, the Holy Church, as the largest human religious group in the eastern part of the Elsa continent, naturally hopes to rebuild a human country. And such a country is needless to say, it is a country of human forces that will unify all continents and different ethnic groups in the world.
As for whether it is an empire... the Holy Church will not care about this matter. Because no matter Whether it is a monarchy or a republic, the Holy Church has always been a core force that maintains the unity of the human race.
So, Paula understands that. Even if the Holy Church expands its business in the Crurod Empire, it will never try to seize power in an atheist country that prohibits the spread of any religious thoughts. On the contrary, as a religious group of human forces, the Holy Church has only one focus - the human race. Therefore, Paula is not worried that the Holy Church will be so stupid as to let the Japanese believe in religion, thereby incurring a blow from Congress.
Camelia: "Hmm..."
Paula: "In fact, as of now, in addition to the Holy Church, there is another force that is also building a factory on our country's territory."
Camelia: "Orchid Republic."
Paula: "To be honest, they are really capable. They can survive until now and still fight against the cultists."
Camelia: "Because their country was originally established by slaves who were persecuted by religion and hunted down by slave owners. So they not only have great hatred for the mastermind behind the scenes, but they even go so far as to develop neurotoxins to fight against mind control. "
Paula: "So we are now unable to sell our 10mm caliber semi-automatic pistols and related semi-automatic cavalry rifles. The market has been completely occupied by them."
Camelia: "That's because you don't want to take the market back. In addition, our previous work was not done well, and the police officers and militiamen below didn't like our products very much. "
Paula: "Uh..."
As Camelia said, Ruger, which has been engaged in the research and development and sales of light weapons, has a long-standing problem - the product quality is too rough.
The reason is that Ruger, as the top arms dealer who monopolized the military light weapons of the Krurod Empire in the past, has long developed a bad habit of living off its old capital.
As a result, although Paula has been maintaining the overall operation of the company, the top executives of Ruger, including herself, have learned what it means to be mutually excluded in the current war.
Other domestic arsenals have successfully pulled Ruger down, resulting in the current Ruger company having to re-optimize its product quality before it can compete with other peers.
So now there is a semi-automatic pistol in the police force that fires 10×25mm pistol bullets and is produced by a foreign-funded arsenal - the Fox semi-automatic pistol.
The gun has an empty weight of 892 grams, a total length of 220 mm, a barrel length of 121 mm, a muzzle velocity of 410 meters per second, and uses a 15-round magazine for ammunition.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just the last one, the 15-round magazine… The same type of product originally promoted by Ruger was directly kicked out by market users because of its small capacity of 8 rounds. Moreover, compared with the single-action firing of the Colt pistol, the Fox pistol is a model that can be fired immediately by pulling the trigger directly. In addition, Fox uses an engineering plastic shell instead of traditional metal parts. As a result, even Paula herself can’t stand the full metal pistol of Ruger.
Let’s put it this way.
In order to make the 12-gram 10×25 mm pistol bullet have a buffer to reduce the strong recoil it produces, Ruger chose to continuously increase the weight of the pistol to deal with it. As a result, the market also ruthlessly slapped Ruger in the face.
The Fox pistol only needs to adjust the way the recoil spring and the slide are embedded to perfectly solve the problem of how to buffer. In addition, its exposed rotary hammer firing structure allows shooters to have very good shooting results at the standard shooting distance of pistols, 25 meters. Even in the previous human pirate attack in the Western Province, the Fox semi-automatic pistols in the hands of the police officers were able to knock down a pirate with one shot.
Since then, for now, the 10mm caliber semi-automatic pistol market in the Krurod Empire is temporarily dominated by Fox pistols. As for the cavalry rifles... Ruger, which has lost a lot of money, has no way to continue to grab market share. I hope other domestic peers can be more promising.
However, Paula knows that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Compared with light weapons, the current arms dealers in the Krurod Empire have begun to focus on heavy weapons. There are not many arms dealers like Ruger who still insist on selling light weapons.
Even if they insist on the research and development and sales of light weapons, many domestic peers have listened to the call of Congress and exported arms to foreign countries to obtain a large amount of trade income. Therefore, regarding the fully automatic cavalry rifle, Paula can be sure that the Holy Church has taken over the market of the Krurod Empire.
How to say it?
Being taken advantage of?
After all, after the appearance of the Thunder Explosion Assault Rifle, the fully automatic lance has been on the bench for a long time.
If it weren't for the actual combat needs, the fully automatic lance would never have a chance to come out. In addition, also because of the war, the Krurod Empire needs a lot of fully automatic lances as equipment for the second-line troops. As a result, the arsenal invested by the Holy Church will definitely be the first to deliver samples first based on its historical experience and grab the first share of the market.
For this reason, Paula had to think of a way to make up for it.
Or... a lever lance with a built-in hammer?
Anyway, the militia these days likes this lever lance that can fire pistol bullets, and this will not be subject to various scrutiny from the Congress. After all, everyone is not stupid. Fully automatic firearms can easily become criminal instruments, so much so that hundreds of years ago, the Krurod Empire at that time had a ban on fully automatic weapons...
