Chapter 59: Chapter 59: 7.62mm double-action trigger semi-automatic (Wishing everyone a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)He laid the blade flat, using only one finger to support the part near the hilt, wanting to feel the balance of the sword. Feeling the blade was balanced, Chen Xin released his hand from the handle, and under gravity, the blade stood upright on his finger with the back of the sword. This is a characteristic of the Samurai Sword, if forged well, when a finger is placed at the balance point of the blade, it will stand upright under gravity with the backsword, supported by just one finger. Seeing this black sword standing firmly on his finger, Chen Xin showed a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth, flicked his finger, and spun the blade to grab the handle. Waving the sword lightly, Chen Xin couldn’t even feel the weight of the blade, as if he was holding a feather. Yet despite its lightness, the sword didn’t give the holder a lightweight feeling; the power transfer from the handle to the tip could still be felt when swinging it. Chen Xin was extremely satisfied with the changes in his beloved sword, especially when he made a chopping action, and the blade didn’t make a sound. "It’s indeed a great sword, but a sword is still not as concealed as a gun." Although Chen Xin couldn’t part with his new beloved sword, he still put it back in the weapon cabinet after admiring it. The purpose of upgrading the weapon cabinet wasn’t to upgrade these weapons but to gain the ability to manufacture firearms. Pulling out a chair and sitting at the new workstation next to the weapon cabinet, Chen Xin briefly examined the tools on the table. Some he recognized, but others he had never seen before. After casually playing with a few tools and putting them back in place, Chen Xin found the firearm blueprints obtained from upgrading the weapon cabinet in the drawer of the workstation. "7.62mm Double Action Trigger Semi-Automatic Pistol Blueprint" "Required parts: Barrel, Slide, Recoil Spring, Trigger, Hammer, Safety Device, Gun Grip, Magazine" "Parts can be manufactured at the workstation or supplemented with survival points" The blueprint depicted a familiar-looking pistol, somewhat similar to the M1911, but with some differences. However, Chen Xin wasn’t a pistol enthusiast, so he didn’t delve into this; what concerned him was how to make the gun rather than researching what kind of pistol it was. By reading the blueprint and consulting the system’s instructions, Chen Xin finally knew how to use the workstation in front of him to make a pistol. Firstly, Chen Xin needed raw materials, if there were none or the materials were unqualified, survival points could be spent to supplement or enhance the quality. Secondly, processing had to follow the dimensions of the blueprint, and the tools on the workstation were fully equipped to meet the needs for part processing. It just tested Chen Xin’s craftsmanship a bit. If the processing precision wasn’t adequate, the assembled pistol would evidently have issues. Of course, survival points could be spent to make originally unqualified parts become qualified. And if one’s craftsmanship was really lacking, and wanted to save trouble, parts could be directly manufactured with survival points, though this would cost a bit more than doing it oneself. Regarding assembly of the parts, this couldn’t be replaced with survival points. The system only provided 3D dynamic assembly diagrams, and Chen Xin had to do the assembly himself. After understanding all this, Chen Xin immediately wanted to make a pistol. Since there was still leftover steel from a previous exchange, Chen Xin only needed to spend 2 survival points to enhance the quality of the steel. As for processing by himself, Chen Xin hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea, choosing instead to spend 3 survival points to let the system finish the processing. Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing the neatly displayed parts on the workstation, Chen Xin suppressed his excitement, brought up the system-provided assembly diagram, carefully examined it twice, and confirmed he remembered the steps before starting the assembly. Carefully assembling each part according to the system’s prompts, Chen Xin’s movements were rather slow. Compared to those people on TV who could assemble firearms quickly even blindfolded, Chen Xin was evidently a novice. Even so, he managed to stumble his way through assembling the gun. Inserting the magazine, Chen Xin pulled the slide, holding the handgun assembled by his own hands, and struck a pose he thought was cool for aiming. "Bang!" With a touch of childishness, he simulated the gunshot with his mouth, then Chen Xin put the handgun back on the workstation. For Chen Xin, guns were both familiar and strange. Familiar because, which boy didn’t play with guns when young? Even though they weren’t real guns. Strange because, thanks to Flame Country’s comprehensive anti-gun policy, it’s exceedingly rare for ordinary people to not only touch a gun but even see one in real life. Of course, no matter how unfamiliar Chen Xin was with guns, he knew the one he assembled was useless for anything other than intimidation. Because it still lacked an important component—bullets. The power of a gun is largely dependent on the bullets rather than the gun itself. The gun is merely a platform for delivering bullets; while it does have some impact on the bullet’s power, the quality of a gun affects accuracy rather than lethality. Most shooting games consciously overlook this, leading many to think a gun can deal damage as long as it has bullets and that better guns are more powerful, but that’s not the case. Chen Xin’s pistol used 7.62mm caliber bullets, and the magazine could hold 12 rounds. This is an internationally common bullet model, used by many countries not only for pistols but also for machine guns. Of course, pistol and machine gun bullets differ in length; typically, a pistol bullet is 17mm long, meaning the standard 7.62mm pistol cartridge is 7.62×17mm. Since the workstation included firearm manufacturing capabilities, it naturally wouldn’t lack bullets as crucial components. However, without gunpowder, Chen Xin needed to spend 1 survival point to supplement materials for bullet manufacturing. Fortunately, crafting bullets was simpler than firearm parts, especially with machinery, and Chen Xin managed to make a box of bullets after spending some time. Loading the bullets one by one into the magazine, and filling it, he inserted it into the gun grip, then pulled the slide again, chambering a bullet this time. Aware of the danger of accidental discharge, Chen Xin engaged the safety, removed the magazine to load another round, inserted it back, and felt great reassurance holding the gun.
