When I was a child, I often heard my grandmother say: my cousin who worked behind enemy lines during the Anti-Japanese War used a coffin full of rotten lard as a cover to transport the pike to the base area; I also hid the pistol in the fruit box and passed the puppet army. ......
Looking back now, the pistol hidden in the fruit box is probably familiar to China people./KLOC-0 was officially put into production in Mao Se Arsenal in 896! About C96, that is, Mauser C96 semi-automatic pistol, there are titles such as "box gun, box gun, shell gun, box gun, mirror box, 20 rings" in China. The gun has a fully wrapped wooden box, and the handle can be mounted on the wooden box as the butt of the gun, so it has also been nicknamed "broom" abroad.
According to today's classification of firearms, C96 is a combat pistol; It is more effective than M23 and Glock 18C, and the gun body is longer, reaching 311mm. Among them, the barrel lengths of M 1930, M 1932 and M7 12 of C96 are 98mm, 140mm and 143mm respectively, and the ammunition reserves are 8 rounds, 10 rounds and 0 rounds respectively. Most of them used 7.63x25mm ordinary ammunition from Mao Se. During the First World War, 137000 C96 with 9 19mm pistol bullets was also used as a German ruger? P08 supplement. For easy identification, most of the C96 models are engraved with a red number "9" on the handle, so they are called "Red 9" by later generations!
The prototype gun of C96 was launched in the same year that the Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1894, and was finalized one month before the treaty of shimonoseki was signed. Paul Mao Se applied for a patent for the gun type. From the time axis, this pistol, which was defeated by Ruger P08 in the German pistol competition, was basically not favored by the European and American military, and was born to avenge China's war against Japan! It is precisely because it has never become a "standard pistol". At that time, submachine guns were on the western embargo list against China, but there was no C96, which made C96 start from the warlord scuffle and cross 14 War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression until the Liberation War and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. It was copied by Czech/Slovak and domestic arsenals, and even some special models such as 0.45 ACP caliber gold furnace 17 appeared.
It was born after 15 years. M1911,7.63 mm with .45acp (11) pistol bullet? The muzzle velocity of C96 gun is as high as 430m/s, which is almost twice that of m191(253m/s). When Gato fired, it could hit the target of 137 meters (150 yards), far better than most automatic pistols at that time. This is equivalent to providing our army with a semi-automatic/automatic carbine or submachine gun!
C96, who participated in the Soviet-Russian Civil War, the Irish Uprising, the Mexican Revolution, the Finnish Civil War, the Soviet-Polish War, the German Uprising, the Gran Chaco War and the Spanish Civil War, has the advantage of "versatility" and meets the needs of the domestic regular army and the armed forces behind enemy lines. Disadvantages come from volume, weight (excluding magazines, 1.25 kg), high price and too many parts. W.h.b. Smith? In the World Small Arms 1948 edition, Mauser C96 was rated as "clumsy". The mechanical structure is well designed and no pins or screws are used. It is actually a mixture of carbine and pistol, and it has a gun box. As a butt stock. "
Although the reputation of C96 in China is far better than that of Indian's Lynfield rifle, it does not gradually withdraw like the latter. As Professor Wen Tiejun said-we started industrialization in advance with the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea! After this war, not only did China quickly realize the transformation from an agricultural country to an industrial country with the help of the former Soviet Union, but also our army equipped a certain number of T30/33 pistols in the field of standard pistols, and at the same time quickly copied the 7.62mm tokarev pistol of Type 54 pistol.
A simple comparison between Type 54 and C96 shows that the caliber of bullets is basically the same. The muzzle velocity is about 420m/s, which is very aggressive, but there is a gap with the stopping function emphasized by western pistols-but the author thinks that the characteristics of C96 and 54 ammunition seem to have a market again in the basic protection of individual soldiers! Type 54 is shorter than C96 1 15mm, lighter by 0.4kg, and the ammunition capacity is 7+ 1 round. Type 54 also opened the history of China's self-made pistol "7 rounds".
Type 54 pistol is followed by Type 59 pistol which imitates makarov pistol of the former Soviet Union, and its capacity is 8+ 1 round, and its muzzle velocity is reduced to 3 15m/s, followed by Type 64 pistol commonly known as "small smashing gun", which is closely related to German Karl Walter PP/PPK automatic pistol. When the caliber of 7.62mm was combined with Type 64 with a capacity of 7 rounds, the first controversy about "guns and bullets" in China was blown up. This kind of abused pistol is called "the kindest pistol" and lacks actual combat cases. There have been accidents such as 12 shooting down a robber and 4 shooting down a drug dealer who didn't fall down. Also let China firearms researchers re-examine the internal relationship between pistol miniaturization and anti-retreat function; The difference between military and police pistol. ......
Change the pistol production in China from outsourcing to imitation; From imitation to independent research and development, to localization, systematization and regularization, is it successful to form the 64 pistol that distinguishes the military and police? It is estimated that the debate will continue, because the Type 64 is still equipped in the police, far less clean than the C96 pistol.
After the Type 64 pistol, it is the little-known Type 77 pistol. It was not until the advent of QSZ92 semi-automatic pistol that the development of handguns in China completely embarked on the road of independent research. The capacity of the 77 pistol was expanded from 7 rounds to 9 rounds, which is also the time when the 92 pistol in western Bei Leita rose. This pistol is a 9× 19mm palabelen pistol, with a capacity of 15 rounds and a muzzle velocity of 333.7m/s. It is not a new gun only from the ammunition type, and its 9mm shell ammunition is not much better than that of Laoganma. But in the name of "M9", it became the standard pistol of the United States, a military power!
In contrast, there are 92 types of 5.8 mm and 9 mm caliber ammunition, 0/5 rounds of double-row compound ammunition and 20 rounds of magazines. This involves two "existences": the first "existences" is not only a 9mm cartridge case bullet which is deeply loved by western countries, but also a self-contained model with the same caliber as the 5.8mm95 rifle bullet; The second "existing" is that there are both large-capacity military guns and models that meet police requirements. And according to some articles, the 92-type bullet is powerful. In the range of 50m, "after penetrating 13mm thick 232 helmet steel plate, it can still penetrate 50mm thick pine wood plate".
After the basic model of Type 92 pistol, 92G appeared to solve individual problems, and then 92A and 92B were said to have nothing to do with Type 92. In 20021year, a new pistol similar to QSZ 193 pistol appeared, using 9mm pistol, which was only provided for airborne soldiers to try out and will be equipped for senior commanders and pilots. Because the new gun uses a lot of composite materials, the weight of the empty gun hollow magazine is less than or equal to 0.7kg, and the effective killing distance is 25 m; Because of the single-row single-entry magazine structure, its bomb load is only 7 rounds!
Regarding the Type 92 pistol family, although there is comprehensive care and consideration in the design, if the subsequent derivative models are considered, it can be said that Lockheed Martin has a great idea to develop the F-35 stealth fighter. However, Type 92, which was developed by 1994 and was not finalized until the 5.8mm version in 2000, seems to have received all kinds of noises from Type 64, and has never become a famous gun like Type 96 and Type 54. Moreover, the advent of a new gun with seven bullets may make a new generation of pistols and gun families a new object of praise and criticism.
Then, from the perspective of pistol capacity, why do domestic pistols love 7 rounds so much? According to the author's grip on Glock 17/26, the 9mm bullet is still too big! The magazine that caused the double-row multiple projectile was too wide. For a pistol with a total length of more than 180mm, portability is not good. If the 5.8mm pistol is fired in a single row, the estimated ammunition capacity is about 8- 1 1 round; It can balance the bomb load, portability and handshake. However, the reason why the new commander or plainclothes police pistol doesn't use the 5.8mm pistol is estimated to be the old problem faced by C96, Type 54 and Type 64.
The cutting force is too large and the stopping effect is not enough. In the face of unprotected or low-protection targets, either a hole is pierced, or it cannot be penetrated, or it cannot be stopped immediately. Using 9mm ammunition should be the best compromise between 5.8 mm, 7.62 mm and 45acp ... Especially 9 mm homemade pistol bullets can learn a lot from shell bullets, which has been proved to be superior to both. In the case of a new pistol with 9mm bullets, we have to give up the ammunition capacity in order to solve the feeling of shaking hands.
To put it more bluntly, we still haven't developed a pistol that conforms to the characteristics of Asians, can stand the scrutiny of history and is groundbreaking like a 9mm shell!
