Warm Season, 1921, DR Phase
Efforts into reverse engineering equipment have begun generating, if not results, then reports. In addition, work on our first home-grown firearm has started, and reports on its initial progress have also arrived.
First up, the M1917 rifle. Our work on this has resulted in a fairly close copy of roughly the right finish. Sadly, this has resulted in a fairly labor-intensive item, and even with the extra effort exerted some bugs have cropped up in the design, namley in the
The M1917 Rifle is a bolt-action rifle feeding 30-06 from a six round internal box magazine and is fed from 5 round stripper clips. It is a variant of the P14 rifle. Rear peep sights allow for quick aquisition of targets, while ladder sights allow for longer range shooting. The rifle is heavy, weighing in at some 4.2kg.
The strange American ammunition used by said rifle(and which is also used in the CSRG 1917 and our new machinegun design) has been being worked on. Locally produced .30-06 is of middling quality, akin to most of the war-surplus stocks we are rapidly running through. That is, when production works. Much of what is produced has one flaw or another, be it improper dimensioning, issues with propellant, issues with primers, torn cases, or any of the other problems that have cropped up in production. But the round
is actually in production, with the first stocks issued to troops.
The 15 cm Schnelladekanone Länge 35 is a dual-purpose cannon intended for use in fortifications(or heavy, heavy mounts, mostly in fortifications) or at sea. While our production plans for the weapon are... crude to say the least, they have served to reduce cost and iron out the issues we have seen with them. The plans should be finalized by the start of the cold season.
Designed in 1880, this 5.8 ton, 5.25m long beast throws a 15cm shell some 10km, loading in two pieces through its breech, sealed by the horizontal sliding block.
While locally produced ammunition for the weapon is nonexistant, the gun does have the choice between a 41 kilogram Armor Piercing shell, a 42.7kg Common shell, or a 29kg Shrapnel round. The AP and Common shells utilize the same 8kg case, while the Shrapnel round uses a set of charges between 3.7 and 5.2kg.
A trained crew can expect to fire between four and five rounds per minute.
Production requires copper due to shell driving bands and excessive brass requirements.
Last, but by no means least, what we have all been waiting for, the MMG-1921!
Roughly one-third of the way through our development cycle, the Mittleres Maschinengewehr-1921 is shaping up to be a high-quality weapon. Atleast, should we ever the the piles of bugs to go away. The weapon, in its current form, is almost a modernized version of the Maschinengewehr (Schwarzlose) M.7, being a toggle-lock blowback operated weapon, feeding from similar belts, and intended to be mounted in bunkers. Most of the issues actually stem from this resemblance, with many crucial parts being sized incorrectly for the .30-06 round. The barrel, 600mm long and mounting an oversized flashhider, is far thicker and fluted to provide increased surface area then mounted under a partal perforated sheet metal cover. This is attached to a metal rib running forward to which the forward sight is mounted. The barrel is detachable, and is intended to be quick-change, although currently this results in no barrel after some firing.
The tripod also shows the weapons genesis, being a direct copy of the Schwarzolse's tripod.
