Full Magazine? Not Nearly Enough

Wang Zhen finally succeeded in mastering the capacity-expansion transmutation circle, and he was absolutely thrilled!

For the longest time, ammunition capacity has been one of the most critical factors limiting the effectiveness of firearms, with the other being the structural integrity of the weapon's materials. Capacity dictates how long a firearm can sustain fire. Take the XM214 Gatling Gun, for example; its rate of fire is adjustable from 400 to 10,000 rounds per minute. With a 1,000-round flexible belt, even at the lowest setting of 400 rounds per minute, it can only sustain fire for two and a half minutes. In actual application, however, using the 400 rounds per minute low-speed setting is almost impossible, because choosing the XM214 Gatling Gun is all about utilizing its high rate of fire for suppression.

But if the bullets run out, what kind of suppression is that?

This awkward situation actually applies to all firearms!

From small handguns to heavy machine guns and even autocannons, they all face this exact problem!

The enemy isn't dead yet, but the bullets are gone!

This is the most common trope in movies and television, and it is also one of the greatest obstacles to increasing the lethality of firearms.

The other obstacle is the material strength of the weapon itself. Firearms capable of sustained fire, such as assault rifles, light machine guns, general-purpose machine guns, and heavy machine guns, all face this embarrassing issue. Many of you have likely seen on video sites like YouTube that while pulling the trigger for sustained fire feels great, the barrel turns red after only a short while...

This is because the material strength of the firearm itself is insufficient; if one continues to fire, it will inevitably affect the weapon's lifespan and accuracy.

However, for the current Wang Zhen, these problems are effectively non-existent!

Previously, Wang Zhen lacked sufficient knowledge to possess what could be called "black technology," but this time, he had a satisfying session of offering sacrifices to the "Gate of Truth," and as a result, he gained a wealth of knowledge! He also obtained a large number of reward points, allowing Selene to exchange for more advanced technology and raw materials from the Main God.

Therefore, he easily utilized his newly acquired knowledge to solve half of the thorny problem of ammunition capacity.

The reason it is only half is that the transmutation circle derived from this knowledge can only increase capacity; it cannot grant infinite ammunition like Zhang Jie's Desert Eagle!

But for Wang Zhen, this is already incredibly useful!

After all, his current handgun is a magically modified Remington 1875. Its caliber has been increased to 12.7mm, similar to the Smith & Wesson M-500, nicknamed the "hand cannon." Because the bullets are larger, the cylinder naturally holds one less round, leaving it with a capacity of only five—making an already small capacity (six rounds) even smaller!

In the real world, large-caliber revolvers like the Smith & Wesson M-500 mostly appear on shooting ranges, in short videos, or for hunting; no one takes them into actual combat. Therefore, low capacity doesn't matter, as their primary purpose is just for show!

However, Wang Zhen is different; he actually needs to carry his magically modified Remington 1875 into real combat!

Thus, the capacity of his two handguns is a matter of life and death!

Wang Zhen experimented a few more times and eventually increased the "capacity expansion technology" to ten times its original scale. As a result, the capacity of each of his handguns rose to fifty rounds. With two handguns, that's one hundred rounds. While he still can't fire indefinitely without reloading, emptying the cylinders of these two guns is no longer an easy task!

After initially solving the capacity dilemma, Wang Zhen began searching the ocean of knowledge for information on firearm materials. Although Selene had exchanged for technical data on materials like Ceramite and Plasteel from the Warhammer World, as well as materials from an unknown alien species brought back from the Alien I scenario, he already had quite a bit of technology superior to that of the real world. Yet, Wang Zhen still chose to search the knowledge obtained from the "Gate of Truth."

The reason is simple: most of these materials do not involve the mystical side, especially ghosts and spirits. Perhaps the hodgepodge Warhammer World has advanced data on black technology and psychic powers, but the price is not cheap, and the tier is too high—beyond Selene's current capabilities. Therefore, Wang Zhen felt the "Gate of Truth" was more reliable; at least it allowed him to "fleece the sheep."

What Wang Zhen was actually looking for were materials capable of withstanding his instantaneous transmutation circles. He had only test-fired one round earlier, and the fire and ice transmutation circles had already left slight marks on the muzzle. Once the lightning transmutation circle was used, the muzzle inevitably showed signs of melting.

This was already the result of using high-strength alloys from Selene's side.

That is why Wang Zhen needed to find knowledge suitable for himself within the system of the "Gate of Truth."

The amount of "wool" he managed to fleece from the "Gate of Truth" this time was truly significant. After searching for several more hours, he finally found a beautiful shell buried in the chaotic, disordered beach of knowledge.

This was a material known as Super God Titanium Alloy. Because the data only contained the composition and manufacturing process without mentioning its origin, the parameters were quite excellent, so Wang Zhen took this data out.

"This titanium alloy composition and manufacturing method of yours is indeed very novel, and the parameters look quite good. It even holds its own against materials like Ceramite and Plasteel from the Warhammer World. Keep this; I'll try to produce it and see the actual parameters of the finished product."

Wang Zhen didn't stay idle either. He selected several types of alloy materials produced by Selene, walked to the side, and after analyzing them with the "Eye of Truth," he used transmutation circles to decompose and reorganize them, attempting to combine two or more alloys. Eventually, he transmuted several perfectly fused alloys.

Then, he used the testing equipment in Selene's workshop to analyze them and discovered that the super alloys created through his decomposition and reorganization did indeed possess the advantages of two or more alloys simultaneously. At the same time, these super alloys naturally inherited the disadvantages of both sides. Some combinations complemented each other, minimizing these flaws, while others amplified them.

By this time, Selene had already manufactured the Super God Titanium Alloy. Wang Zhen then used this Super God Titanium Alloy along with several other super alloys that had minimal flaws to perform further decomposition and reorganization. The resulting super alloy, named Super God Titanium Alloy Gamma, perfectly met Wang Zhen's requirements.

Then, using the transmutation circle and this Super God Titanium Alloy Gamma, he transmuted two magically modified Remington 1875 revolvers for himself!

At the same time, he crafted fifty magazines with ten times the capacity, filled them with bullets, and prepared for the next scenario.

"These are the belts and holsters specifically made for those two Remington 1875s, with pre-set positions for spare magazines. You can spend these next few days getting used to how to reload quickly."

"Even though each of your magazines can hold fifty rounds, I still feel like it's not enough!"
