Chapter 355

"Dear guardian, just now I was busy trading. I haven't had time to congratulate you. Congratulations on your team's victory over the Kerry. " The deal was almost done. Major Fu found a chance to stand alone with Shi Xiong again.

"Major, we didn't just beat the Crees. To be exact, we are now preparing to completely integrate that tribe. Once this process is over, we Cherokee will become the most powerful tribe in the southeast of the new world. " Stone bear laughingly corrected major Fu's mistake.

"I'd like to congratulate you even more. We in the British Empire also want to see a stable southeast, so that we can grow grain and tobacco in this area and transport more things here. Dear guardian, a stable southeast region of the new world is what we both like to see. Your tribe, the powerful Cherokee, is also the best strategic ally of the British Empire. We are very happy to see that this large area is controlled by your tribe, so that our trade will become more secure, won't we? "

"Haha, major, I like what you said, and what you said is in line with my idea."

Major Fook laughed, and then he waved, and a British soldier came running with a wooden box.

"Dear guardian, in order to express the congratulations of Colonel Jones and me to you, I have been entrusted by Colonel Jones to present you with this suifa pistol made by Master John Peter. I hope you like it."

"John Peter? Is that Mr. John Christopher Peter? " Stone bear asked with a touch of surprise on his face.

"Yes, it's master Peter from Carlsbad. Although master Peter has passed away, this gun was made by himself more than 40 years ago and has been collected by Colonel Jones. This time, Colonel Jones was very happy to learn that you led the army to defeat the Kerry colluding with the Spanish. He took out his long cherished pistol as a gift of congratulations. I hope you like it. "

The stone bear took the exquisite wooden box with a smile, then opened it in major Fogg's slightly distressed eyes, and a half meter long "pistol" appeared in front of him.

Although he didn't look directly at major Fogg, the stone bear could feel the major's reluctance.

Obviously, this gun should have been the major's collection, not some Col. Jones collection. In this age when communication is based on roaring, the news that the expeditionary army defeated the Kerry people will not spread to the British colony so soon, so it is impossible for the Colonel Jones stationed in Jamestown to know about it.

What's more, with the greedy character of Colonel Jones, how can you give yourself such a precious pistol as a gift?

It was obvious that major Fogg, who was going to come, took the pistol as a gift on his own initiative after learning the news, and gave it to him on the pretext of Colonel Jones' arrangement.

Even the stone bear has to admit that this major Fogg is really a very good man. It's really lucky that the greedy Colonel Jones in Jamestown has such a good man.

I have to say that this "pistol" is really a rare good gun in this era.

The former Mr. John Christopher Peter is a famous gunner who lives in the British colony. In his hands, many exquisite and powerful guns were born.

The Carlsbad area of this era does not refer to the Carlsbad area near San Diego, California, but an area near Jamestown where Mr. Peter lived. He is a famous gunner in the whole British colony. The long spear or short spear made by him is the best collection of people.

The same is true of the "pistol" in front of us. Well, maybe it's not appropriate to use "pistol" to call this gun, but it's more appropriate to use "shotgun" to call it, but in this era, this shotgun is a pistol to the core.

The length of the gun is about 540cm, which is 0.54M. This kind of length is a long gun in front of those real pistols that are only about 20 centimeters in size.

However, due to the limitation of production technology, in this era, such a long gun can be used as a pistol

Stone bear reached out and grabbed the gun. Then he felt that the weight of the gun was more than eight Jin, which was bigger than the weight of the new Ferguson rifle.

However, the gun is exquisitely made. The tail of the butt and the wooden holder on the upper part of the trigger ring are covered with exquisite silver patterns, which looks very artistic.

The caliber of the gun is about 14.5mm, which is similar to that of most rifles in this era. In other words, the lead bullet used in this gun can be used in common with that used in brown Beth rifle.

The loading method of this gun is ingeniously designed. It adopts the pout handle design similar to that of later double barrel shotguns. When the gun body is released from locking, the front part of the gun body folds down and the barrel is opened. Because the hammer is on the back part of the gun body, the bullet can be installed after the barrel is exposed.

This design is undoubtedly a very advanced loading design in this era. In some ways, it is even more advanced than the rotary locking mechanism of Ferguson rifle. It's a pity that in this era, this kind of loading design requires a very high finishing ability to ensure the tightness of the ammunition chamber, otherwise the ammunition will leak when it is launched.

Therefore, this kind of gun is destined to only be slowly made by hand, and can not form the possibility of large-scale production. At least in this era.

The firing device of the pistol is no different from the flint gun used now, but the gun can not only be loaded in the back, but also in the front according to the situation. Because there is a strip under the barrel, it shows that in some necessary cases, the gunner can use the front loading instead of the back loading.

This is because the overall length of the gun is only 0.54 meters, and it is also very convenient to use the front loading method.

Shi Xiong stood up the gun and looked at the bore. He found that there were eight rifles in the bore of the gun

Even the stone bear has to admit that this pistol, which looks very beautiful, not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has something inside.

"It's a good gun! I like it so much! Major, when you get back, thank Colonel Jones for me and express my gratitude. " Stone bear said with a smile.

Although the performance of this gun may not be as good as the one made by myself, if this gun can be preserved, the future generations will have another collection.

I remember that a pistol made by Mr. Peter sold for 64000 euros at an auction in Germany. The reason why stone bear knew the name of John Peter was based on the auction
