Chapter 116 Leading the Era Series

Wang Xiuyuan picked up a Reliable G19 pistol and a Reliable G26 pistol and walked over to Mars.

“This Reliable G26 is a subcompact pistol with a total length of sixteen centimeters, an empty weight of five hundred and sixty grams, and a standard magazine capacity of ten rounds.

The Reliable G26 is specifically designed for concealed carry; it can fit into a coat pocket or be strapped to an ankle. Its compact and exquisite frame is its greatest advantage.

I specifically used a dual recoil spring system to reduce the recoil of this gun, so the major issue of difficult control found in traditional subcompact pistols no longer exists here.

Simply put, this Reliable G26 is particularly suitable for women.

Of course, there is also the Reliable G42, which is a super-miniature self-defense pistol with a capacity of only eight rounds.

It’s quite good for self-defense, but generally speaking, you won't need it, so I don't recommend it for you.”

After handing the Reliable G26 to Mars, Wang Xiuyuan held up the Reliable G19 in front of her and continued:

“This Reliable G19 is a compact, versatile pistol. Its capacity is slightly lower, with a standard magazine of fifteen rounds, but it can use the magazines from the Reliable G17.

While being easy to carry, it also balances sustained firepower, and the grip size is also quite suitable for women.

Go ahead and try them!”

Wang Xiuyuan was very confident in these guns. This was the Glock, after all—the fourth-generation Glock exchanged from the system mall, not the half-finished products of the first or second generations.

The fourth-generation Glock was a mature version that had been used, summarized, and modified by countless people.

Aside from the fact that the material of the frame didn't feel as good as metal, it could completely crush any current service pistol in every other aspect.

Don't be fooled by the use of engineering plastics; the strength of high-strength engineering plastic is more than enough for making a gun.

The design concept of ergonomics hadn't appeared yet in the eighties, but the angle of this pistol's grip had been repeatedly optimized to provide excellent pointability.

When the shooter naturally extends their arm to draw, the muzzle quickly aligns with the target. This design greatly enhances the shooter's reaction speed and practical shooting accuracy.

The entire gun consists of only thirty-two parts. Even an ordinary person, with a little practice, can complete the full cycle of disassembly and reassembly in under a minute. Maintenance and cleaning are also very simple.

Because there are so few parts, the failure rate of this gun is extremely low, with a jamming rate of less than one in ten thousand.

It can still be used stably and efficiently in extreme environments such as dust, mud, and low temperatures, which was the fundamental reason it was trusted by the military back then.

Furthermore, the Glock series features a special trigger safety system; the firing pin is only released when the trigger is fully pulled. This design effectively prevents accidental discharges.

At the same time, this design is very helpful for quickly drawing the gun in high-pressure environments. There's no need to manually unlock a safety; simply pulling the trigger completes the unlocking, chambering, and firing actions.

American police and soldiers using guns with this design saw their overall shooting efficiency increase by at least twenty percent.

Moreover, this series includes a G18 full-auto combat model equipped with a fire selector system, which is an extremely rare fully automatic pistol.

In full-auto mode with a drum magazine, the theoretical rate of fire can reach one thousand three hundred rounds per minute, shooting like a water hose.

For a manufacturer like Wang Xiuyuan, the Glock's greatest advantage lay in its modular design.

Although the glock pistol has twenty-three different models and thirty-four different styles, covering various calibers like 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP to meet all needs for military, police, concealed carry, and competition shooting...

The vast majority of different models can interchange core components like magazines and firing pins, so it doesn't place a heavy burden on the production end.

Add to that the fact that major components like the slide and grip are made of engineering plastic polymers—injection molding these two parts takes only ninety seconds. The costs are far lower than pistols from Sig Sauer or HK, making it hard not to make money with this gun.

Combined with the massive seventeen-round capacity of the standard G17, having so many advantages in a single firearm meant it was foreseeable that this gun would snatch up many orders.

The only thing that changed was that in his previous life, this series was called the Glock series.

Now, it was called the reliable series, and it arrived in its final, perfected form with little room for improvement, ensuring it would quickly seize the civilian market.

Gluck Dupont returned excitedly after finishing his trial. Seeing his lingering enthusiasm, it was clear he was very satisfied with the gun.

Wang Xiuyuan handed Gluck Dupont a bottle of water and asked with a smile, “How does it feel? Is this gun to your liking?”

“This gun is fantastic. Although the one I have is a competition-specific model, it performs excellently in every aspect. It’s an outstanding competition gun without needing any modifications.

Aside from a very few artistic masterpieces meticulously crafted by master gunsmiths, there is nothing on the market right now that can compare to this high-end piece.

It’s practically perfect.

I also just tried the standard Reliable G17. Even though it's just a general-purpose pistol...

In this era, the standard Reliable G17 is the king of the general-purpose pistol field; it has achieved the best in every regard.

And you’ve done a complete job, developing everything from the standard version to the compact, subcompact, competition series, and even a full-auto version.

There isn't much room left for me to contribute.

The only downside to these guns is the material; the feel of engineering plastic is far inferior to metal parts.”

Gluck Dupont’s evaluation of the guns was very high, which was entirely within Wang Xiuyuan's expectations.

This was the fourth-generation version, refined through forty years of repeated practical combat; it would be a miracle if it didn't satisfy these 'old-timers' from the eighties.

However, Wang Xiuyuan disagreed with Gluck Dupont’s last point and responded without hesitation:

“But the engineering plastic material is also its greatest advantage, isn't it?

I won't go into the weight issue again.

Just the high production efficiency and low cost of engineering plastic alone will allow us to make a fortune.”

Hearing this, Gluck Dupont was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed, even more happily than Wang Xiuyuan.

“Yes, it’s the biggest flaw, but also the greatest advantage.

My current identity is that of a businessman. For me, making money is the most important thing, so to me, the engineering plastic itself is the greatest advantage.”
