On May 11 of Great Mandate Year Two, in early summer, Lin Fei from the research institute personally carried two Double-Barreled Hunting Rifles to Hanyang City to meet Luo Chong. The two met in Luo Chong's study, where Lin Fei introduced him to the production work for the hunting rifles.
"Chieftain, considering that shotguns have relatively low chamber pressure, we used a Molybdenum Steel Alloy containing seven percent molybdenum to produce the gun barrels this time. The barrels have no rifling, while the receivers and other parts are still made of carbon steel. However, the overall structure is much simpler than that of military shotguns.
"In addition, you asked me to select and assemble personnel for the weapons project group, and I've chosen some people. If you need them, Chieftain, we can launch a new project at any time."
Lin Fei reported the situation to Luo Chong, while Luo Chong toyed with the Double-Barreled Hunting Rifle with black-and-gray barrels in his hand. These two hunting rifles were surplus products from the previously commissioned batch, and they were also the first Firearms in the Han Tribe to be made using Molybdenum Steel.
From their appearance and texture alone, it was impossible to directly distinguish Molybdenum Steel from carbon steel. To truly tell them apart, one could probably only compare their mechanical properties, wear resistance, hardness, and heat resistance.
Luo Chong, however, did not dwell on that. He set down the hunting rifle and casually asked, "Has this batch of weapons been sent to Heyuan Commandery?"
"They've been sent. According to your orders, Chieftain, there were two thousand Double-Barreled Hunting Rifles in total. Their ammunition uses the same caliber as the Shence Guard's, so there was no need to transport ammunition separately. We only need to have the Shence Guard leave behind
