Ammunition Production Workshop

The military camp in Hanyang City had originally been converted from a large warehouse. Later, after the army expanded and moved away, the place was left vacant again. Now, however, it had once more been filled with all kinds of machinery, having plainly become a small weapons workshop.

When Luo Chong arrived that morning, he saw machines piled throughout the warehouse, along with a researcher from the Power Research Institute who had come with the equipment—Hu Jin. He was responsible for supervising the installation and use of the machinery.

"Chieftain, this is the double-barreled shotgun you requested. We've only managed to produce one prototype so far. The two barrels were first cast as rough steel tubes using sand casting, then cold-forged and stretched into barrels. Finally, we bored and polished them with a Steam Boring Machine. There's no rifling inside, so according to your classification, they're smoothbore guns."

When he saw Luo Chong enter with his men, Hu Jin immediately took a shotgun from a nearby wooden crate and handed it to him. It was a prototype made according to the blueprints Luo Chong had provided. Luo Chong intended to keep it for his own amusement, while also using it to test the shotgun shells they had just developed.

This gun was not the pump-action shotgun Luo Chong hoped to equip, but a Double-Barreled Hunting Rifle. Its two barrels were arranged one above the other, with a mechanical hinge connecting the breech to the stock. To load it, one simply broke the gun open, inserted two shotgun shells directly into the chambers, then closed it again. After firing, it could be broken open once more for reloading.

Its structure was the same as that of the sporting shotguns used in Olympic skeet shooting. It also looked quite similar to the
