Chapter 115 Reliable Reiber Pistol

A large crowd of people arrived at the shooting range, where more than thirty black cases were neatly arranged on two rows of tables; at this moment, all these black cases were closed.

These cases were all the same size, the only difference being a card attached to the surface of each case, indicating the model of the firearm.

Wang Xiuyuan stood with his back to the tables filled with cases, his arms spread naturally, looking just like Iron Man dashingly presenting missiles to the military.

Although it lacked the shocking artistry of explosion effects, it still looked quite dashing.

"Welcome everyone to appreciate my ruilaibo pistol series, 'reliable'."

"The most prominent core advantage of these pistols I designed is that they are extremely reliable."

"And based on different groups of people and different usage scenarios, I have derived twenty-three models and thirty-four different styles."

[Remember this site's domain; reading Taiwan novels on it is awesome.]

Gluck Dupont didn't care to listen to Wang Xiuyuan's chatter and walked straight past him to the table, casually opening a case labeled Reliable G17.

Three identical G17 pistols were embedded in the case; as soon as Gluck Dupont picked one up, he realized something was off.

"Holy shit, this pistol is so light. It feels like only half the weight of a pistol of the same size. In terms of load-bearing, this is a significant advantage."

Currently, pistols on the market are all assembled from various metal components, with most weights ranging between nine hundred and one thousand grams; they get even heavier once loaded with bullets.

But this Reliable G17 has an empty weight of only six hundred grams, one-third lighter than other firearms.

Gluck Dupont first praised the pistol, then immediately raised his own question:

"The advantage of engineering plastics is that they are much lighter than metal, but the texture is quite a bit worse than metal pistols. Wang Xiuyuan, have you tested it? How is the reliability of a pistol made of engineering plastic?"

Wang Xiuyuan responded with a look of disdain, "I named this gun Ruilaibo, so you tell me if it's reliable or not."

"The pistol's slide and grip are integrally molded from engineering plastic; given the strength of engineering plastic, it's more than sufficient for these two components."

"Core components like the barrel are still made of metal, so the overall strength of the firearm is definitely not an issue."

"Applying engineering plastic materials to firearms is absolutely a pioneering feat."

"But the subversive design philosophy of my Ruilaibo series pistols doesn't stop there. You'll have to discover its advantages slowly. Load some bullets and try it out."

Gluck Dupont pulled a magazine from the slot; as an experienced gun enthusiast, Gluck Dupont could naturally notice the difference in the magazine immediately.

The magazine was also made of engineering plastic, but it was significantly thicker than those of other pistol models.

And from the magazine's feed lips, he could clearly see that the bullets inside were staggered, which meant the capacity of this magazine far exceeded all pistol models currently on the market.

"Wang Xiuyuan, this magazine..."

Before Gluck Dupont could finish his sentence, he carefully examined the magazine in his hand again in disbelief.

Seeing Gluck Dupont's look of disbelief, Wang Xiuyuan naturally knew that Gluck had discovered the advantage of this pistol's magazine capacity, and he explained with a smile:

"I specifically redesigned the grip and the magazine. This pistol has a capacity of seventeen rounds, which is twice that of the pistols currently in service on the market."

"Wow! This design is truly stunning."

Gluck Dupont was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth.

Setting aside whether this pistol had other advantages, as long as there were no obvious flaws, this high magazine capacity alone would allow it to occupy a place in the market.

Currently, the magazine capacity of mainstream pistols on the market is basically six to eight rounds. The Reliable G17 designed by Wang Xiuyuan has a capacity of seventeen rounds, making its fire endurance two to three times that of other models.

One might not see much of a difference when just shooting at targets for fun, but soldiers who have been on the battlefield and engaged in actual combat know exactly how large the gap is.

Take the famous colt m1911 pistol, for example. This classic pistol is chambered in .45 ACP and has a standard magazine capacity of seven rounds.

Some improved versions can expand the capacity to eight rounds, but limited by the all-metal body and the width of the grip, this capacity cannot be increased further.

As for others like the Beretta 92F (M9 Service Pistol), before this pistol came out, the Beretta 92F had a capacity of eight to ten rounds.

The SIG Sauer P220 has a capacity of eight rounds, and the Walther P38 has a capacity of eight rounds; no pistol could break the ten-round capacity limit.

On a battlefield where bullets fly and combat is intense, every interval for changing a magazine means briefly losing a point of fire.

In a one-on-one duel, whoever empties their magazine first will briefly lose their ability to resist, which is an extremely high-risk situation.

But with the sudden emergence of Wang Xiuyuan's Reliable G17, the problem of insufficient pistol firepower will be greatly alleviated.

Everyone present was a man, and guns are a romance unique to men.

When a brand-new pistol is released, how could the men present not be interested? Especially the young people around the same age as Gluck Dupont were the first to crowd around.

Even Livia Mars, a girl, was no exception; after all, America is a country where firearms are rampant.

Not to mention the young people, even white-haired old men like David Rockefeller and Lamotte Dupont Copeland became interested; after all, they were once young too.

Wang Xiuyuan also began to get busy. He opened a case labeled reliable g34 and pulled out a beautifully styled pistol to hand to Gluck Dupont.

This gun had a row of cooling holes on both sides of the slide and several flash suppressor holes on the top of the muzzle slide; one look at the design and you knew this gun was not simple.

"Gluck, come and try this reliable g34 pistol. This is a long-slide version improved from the Reliable G17, specifically built for various shooting competitions."

"I also designed tactical rails for the initial version of this pistol to facilitate the addition of tactical accessories. The effect is awesome."

Gluck Dupont looked at the reliable g34 in his hand, deeply attracted by its appearance. He grabbed two spare magazines and ran toward the shooting range.

Then Wang Xiuyuan pointed to the case labeled reliable g17l and said, "That reliable g17l is also a specialized model for competitive shooting, an upgrade based on the reliable g34. Those interested in shooting competitions can also take a look at this reliable g17l."

Unfortunately, not many people listened to Wang Xiuyuan; they were all picking out the guns they liked to experience the thrill of shooting.

In the end, only Livia Mars was left, picking and choosing without yet finding a style she was satisfied with.

This is a common habit among women: once there are too many choices, they cannot make a decision quickly, so at this time, they need suggestions from others.
