After a series of tests, the improved Bolt-Action Rifle was finally finalized. As for the new gun's model name, Luo Chong had thought it over and decided to continue the previous naming convention, calling it the "Standard Type 2 Rifle."
According to the firearm-naming conventions of his previous life, there were generally three methods. One was to name a weapon after its inventor, such as Browning or Mauser; another was to name it after the courtesy name of a head of state, such as the Zhongzheng Rifle; and the last was to name it after the year the new gun was finalized, such as the Type 56 or Type 81. However, none of these naming methods suited the Han Tribe at present.
First of all, the actual "inventor" of the new gun was Luo Chong, so surely they couldn't call it the Luo Chong Type, right? As for a head of state's courtesy name, Luo Chong had no name like "Mou Zhongzheng." Finally, if they named it according to the year it was finalized, then this gun should be called the "Great Mandate Year Two Rifle," which sounded rather strange. It was better to simply rank them as Standard Type 1, Standard Type 2, and so on.
Luo Chong personally defined this as the "Cross-Generation Naming Method." In other words, as firearms were upgraded and replaced, one could tell from the name which generation of rifle had been developed.
After spending a night resting in the Military Camp, testing continued the next day. Since there was plenty of time, Luo Chong decided to test the remaining two pistols, along with the Semi-automatic Rifle and machine gun, all at once. He would strive to finish the testing within a day. Those that passed would be finalized, while those that failed would
