Today, finally this riding gun is a fixed model, the first riding gun of the research institute, in fact, the effective range is not far, but only fifty to a hundred steps, the accuracy is compared to the rifle, but it is also average, but compared with the Mongolian bow and arrow in front of you, but there is still an overwhelming advantage, after all, accuracy and range, although the Mongolian bow can also reach a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, but the effective range, I am afraid that it is only less than half, plus the shooting accuracy, it is obviously impossible to compare with the riding gun, and the real crushing of the bow and arrow, is the rate of fire of the riding gunAs long as you want, the cavalry gun can fire six bullets in one minute, and it can be reloaded in the next two minutes, and the rate of fire of the bow and arrow is obviously not even thirty percent of the cavalry gun, especially in small-scale battles, six bullets can completely cope with a short battle, which means that when the Mongols shoot an arrow, the person with the cavalry has fired six times.
Of course, the greater advantage is that a Mongolian archer needs decades of training day by day, and it takes a few years at the shortest to master the skills of the bow and arrow, which is not only a test of arm strength, but also a test of experience.
The first rifle is obviously limited by the compromise between production and manufacturing costs, and the structure is unusually simple, but it is only seven or eight parts, and the manufacturing process of the runner is a little more difficult, but with the current level of metallurgy and molds in the town, it is not difficult.
Sun Qi also came here to take a look at the final plan, he is also quite interested in riding the gun, because this is the first civilian weapon in the Zhenguo Mansion, in the past, the weapons of the Zhenguo Mansion were almost all money-losing transactions, on the one hand, limited by the number of people in the Zhenguo New Army, so it can only be produced on a small scale, on the other hand, because the object of the equipment is the Zhenguo New Army, it can only be used by his own family, so it is basically to pay into the money to support the craftsmen of these weapons.
This situation was only improved after the establishment of a new army in the Japanese state, because some rifles began to be exported, and finally able to subsidize some deficiencies, but it is still a little far away to talk about profits.
Until this riding gun came out, although he only had a preliminary understanding of this riding gun, Sun Qi, who was already very keen on business, immediately realized that the ordnance station could make money by relying on it.
As a successful businessman, Sun Qi naturally has an abacus in his heart.
If the cost can be tried to do three taels of silver, and the price of peddling is about nine taels of silver, the most important thing is that the price of bullets is expensive, ten cents a round, it seems to be less, but as long as you use a riding gun, this consumption will continue, as long as the skill of producing bullets has been in the hands of the town and the country, it means that there is a steady stream of silver into the account.
What a business opportunity it would be if all the shepherds, or those who walked around and traded outside the gates, had each hand-made one Sun Qi didn't know much about firearms, but he cared a lot about the advantages between a riding gun and a bow and arrow, because for a businessman, the best sales pitch was not about the thing, he wasn't interested in understanding it, but what he really cared about was how to persuade his potential customers to buy it.
So when Ye Chunqiu went to test the gun with great interest, Sun Qi asked the researcher in a low voice attentively.
"No, no, no, what the old man wants to know is not this, you say these data, the old man doesn't understand, you might as well tell you bluntly, if our shepherd is matched with this and encounters a well-trained Mongolian rider, what will be the result, can you protect yourself, you tell the truth."
"The students don't know how this is."
The technical backbone of the military institute was embarrassed and said: "However, the odds of winning are estimated to be not small, and now in this grassland, as long as in the short and medium range, whether the opponent is a shooter or a knife, six bullets fired in a row, it is enough to kill the opponent, naturally, now it is only the data of the experiment, how it is, I dare not guarantee, but with the student's estimate, the odds of winning will be more than seven or eighty percent, if it is a skilled gunman, the odds of winning will be higher." ” Sun Qi finally had a bottom in his heart, and couldn't help but smile a little satisfied, and said: "Then, now you can start preparing for mold manufacturing, this is easy, hand it over to China Merchants, but now we have to start promoting, I was going to go back to Beijing these days, and Beijing Merchants Bureau also has a lot of things, but now it seems that this riding gun is promising, maybe it is another crystal workshop." ” As he was talking, Ye Chunqiu had come back from trying the gun.
Ye Chunqiu was quite satisfied with the effect of this riding spear, and he happened to hear the words of the technical backbone when he was outside the tent, so he went in and said: "I think the sales volume will be higher than this, and even if you encounter a Mongolian rider, you should be able to achieve more than ninety percent of the chance of winning." ” After hearing this, Sun Qi couldn't help but have a bright brilliance in his eyes, and suddenly became very interested, and said: "Spring and Autumn, how can this be seen?"
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help laughing, and said: "You guys, I just thought that people will only be equipped with a riding gun, this riding gun is light, have you ever thought that in the future, there will be many people who want to configure double guns are loaded with bullets first, once they encounter special circumstances, they can take turns to shoot, in this way, it is a continuous firing of twelve bullets, this riding gun is simple in structure, the cost is not high, the salary of the herdsmen is not low, once the riding gun becomes popular, I am afraid that many people will be willing to configure double guns in the future." ” Sun Qi's eyes lit up, and his voice brought out a little excitement, and said: "In this way, the sales of this riding gun, the old man is still less, right, it is right, this riding gun is very handy, and it doesn't take much effort to insert it into the waist, and it is equipped with two guns, haha" Ye Chunqiu sometimes can't help but feel that this uncle is becoming more and more merchandising, but after thinking about it carefully, he is already a businessman through and through, and what he considers is naturally always cost and sales, and how much profit he can make.
As for the birth of the riding spear, how much impact it will have on this grassland, it is not what this businessman cares about the most.
And Ye Chunqiu's position is obviously completely different, as the lord of Zhenyuan Country, outside Shizhen Pass, he knows very well what this will mean.
Ye Chunqiu said with a smile: "Yes, this time, I'm afraid it's the arsenal outside the gate, and I don't know how many workshops to prepare to produce guns and bullets, and how many people have to be recruited." ” aa2705221:
