The old man nodded and said, "We did make a lot of discoveries. I'm happy to share them with you."
He patted the muzzle and began to introduce the gun. "I said this is a shotgun, but it's not very accurate. It's not a traditional shotgun. It's a dual-purpose rifle.
"This gun uses a side-by-side structure and a smooth bore barrel. I mean the structure of the barrel. Look, side-by-side, isn't it beautiful? It can shoot a copper-coated solid bullet, instead of the plastic-coated multi-shot ball shot by a traditional shotgun. "
"It's not just the barrel. Every part of the gun is well-made. Look at the breech. It's so powerful and rugged. I dare say the thickness of the breech barrel is more than half an inch. Isn't that amazing?"
Hans nodded, and Li Du followed suit. In fact, he didn't know whether it was amazing or not. When it came to firearms, he was a complete novice.
"According to my assistant and my research, we think the steel structure of this gun is made of pure hardened and tempered flexible steel. There's a taper of about 0.25 inches from the barrel to the muzzle.
"This design is to absorb as much impact energy as possible. I have to admit that I've never seen a gun with such a thick barrel. Maybe I need to learn more about it."
Li Du couldn't help but ask, "What does this barrel mean?"
Morris glanced at him and said, "It means it has a strong firepower tolerance. With this thickness and this kind of steel, it can withstand more than 31000 pounds of pressure, which is 14 tons!"
Hans said, "It's really a wild b * stard. Looking at it, I dare say that when the gunman finishes loading the gun and sees all this metal, he'll believe that this thing is as safe and strong as a house!"
"No, I think it gives people a sense of trust, just like a radioactive particle shelter!" Morris' assistant, Lynch, smiled.
Listening to their discussion, Li Du took a deep breath and said in shock, "Oh my God, the barrel has to withstand so much pressure? No wonder the barrel is designed to be so thick. "
Morris picked up a bullet that looked like a small cannonball and said, "This is a 750 NitroExpress bullet. To use it, you need to have a chamber like this. Otherwise, it'll be like a giant f * cking a young girl. Her chamber will explode!"
This analogy was rather vulgar. Hans and the others laughed. Li Du also laughed bitterly.
After the introduction, both parties began to negotiate the price. Hans said, "I can tell from your tone, Morris, that you are willing to collect it. You hope to have another big guy like this on your collection shelf."
Morris nodded straightforwardly. "Who wouldn't want to? With such a big guy in my hands, no matter if the aliens or zombies appear, I will be able to kill them all with one shot! "
This was no exaggeration. The .75 caliber bullet was the largest bullet ever designed by humans. For hunting, these bullets could easily deal heavy damage to grizzly bears, antelopes, rhinoceroses, or elephants.
In fact, if fired at close range, this gun could even hunt down smaller whales.
Lynch said, "But this gun has no practical value. It can only be used as a collection."
Li Du understood that the other party was trying to find a reason to bargain, so he kept quiet and watched Hans' performance.
Before Hans could speak, Lynch said, "You won't really bring this kind of gun to hunt, right? I admit that this gun's bullets are powerful, but it's too slow. At most, it can only reach 2,200 feet per second. "
Hunting required just the right amount of penetration. For hunting large animals, it was best if the bullet could hit the prey, penetrate its thick skin, and destroy as many internal organs as possible. Then, it could quickly and cleanly fall to the ground.
This gun did not meet these requirements. Even if it could fire bullets, its relatively slow speed and wide surface area meant that it could not provide a lot of penetration from a long distance.
If the distance was closer, even an elephant would have half its body blown off by that shot. What fun would there be in hunting if that happened?
"The .75 caliber bullet is useless, and this gun is also useless. Considering its curved trajectory, slow aiming, horrible recoil, overall weight, and expensive cost …"
At this point, Lynch began to shake his head. "This gun can only be given to collectors or professional shooters. I'm willing to bet that the market for it is very small. 99.9% of hunters don't want to belong to this category."
Hans said, "Yes, you're right. Hunters will not be willing to use this gun, but they will be willing to collect it."
"Then the market for it is very small," Lynch said.
Li Du could not help but interrupt, "Why can't we sell it to the authorities? For example, the military or the police, so that they can use it in some special situations? They will always encounter extreme situations, right? "
Hearing this, Morris laughed. "That's not possible, because its shooting speed is very slow. Even if there is time to shoot, the bullet will cut the person in half after hitting the target. Any form of bulletproof armor is like a piece of tin foil in front of it.
"Not only that, the bullet will not only shoot through the criminal, but it will also continue for half a mile and kill someone working at a roadside fast food restaurant," Hans explained to him in a low voice.
Hans explained to him in a low voice, "Yes, this bullet is too powerful. If a 1,300 krum bullet travels at over 2,000 feet per second, it will destroy any engine, penetrate any wall, and kill anyone. Its power is equivalent to a 20mm cannon!"
Li Du understood that this kind of gun could not be used. First, it was unnecessary to have too much power, and second, it could easily cause accidental injuries.
He was not an expert, so he wisely backed out of the bidding and left it to Hans to handle.
Hans was not easy to deal with. He could see that Morris liked this gun, so he refused to lower the price.
Lynch was Morris's good assistant in sales, and he was very good at negotiating prices.
When the two of them met, it would truly be a price war between them!
In the end, the price was set at 200,000 dollars.
Lynch gave them a difficult problem. "If this gun can be used, we are willing to pay 200,000 dollars, but what if it can't be used? Sorry, 20,000 dollars, just think of it as buying a model. "
Hearing this, Li Du asked, "This gun is so big, the recoil must be very strong. Who can use it?"
Lynch laughed. "Yes, you also know that it can't be used, so why do you still want to pay a high price?"
Godzilla, who had been silent and listening to the bidding, stood up and said, "I'll do it!"
