He laid the blade flat and held the part near the blade with only one finger. He wanted to feel the center of gravity of the blade.
Feeling that the blade was balanced, Chen Xin let go of his hand holding the handle. Under the influence of gravity, the blade stood up on Chen Xin's finger with the back of the blade.
This is a characteristic of the katana. If it is well cast, when your fingers are placed at the center of gravity of the blade, the blade will stand up on its own with the back of the blade under the action of gravity, and can be held by one finger.
Seeing the black knife standing firmly on his finger, Chen Xin showed a satisfied smile, hooked his finger, rotated the blade and took advantage of the situation to hold the handle.
Holding the knife and swiping it lightly, Chen Xin couldn't even feel the weight of the blade, as if he was just holding a feather.
But despite being light, this knife does not give the wielder a light and airy feeling. When swinging the knife, you can still feel the process of power being transferred from the handle to the tip.
Chen Xin was extremely satisfied with the transformation of his favorite knife, especially when he made a chopping motion with the knife and the blade made no sound at all.
"It's a really good knife, but it's not as concealed as a gun." Although Chen Xin couldn't put it down, he still put the knife back in the weapon cabinet after playing with it for a while.
His purpose in upgrading the weapons cabinet was not to upgrade these weapons, but to gain the ability to make firearms.
Pulling out the chair and sitting down in front of the extra workbench next to the weapon cabinet, Chen Xin briefly checked the tools on the table. Some of them he knew, but some he had never seen before.
After randomly picking up a few tools, playing with them, and putting them back in their original places, Chen Xin found the blueprints of the firearms obtained after upgrading the weapon cabinet from the drawer of the workbench.
"Double Action Trigger Semi-Automatic Pistol Drawing"
"Parts needed: barrel, slide, recoil spring, trigger, hammer, safety, handle, magazine."
"You can use the tool table to process parts or use survival points to complete parts"
What is on the drawing is a pistol that looks very familiar. It is somewhat similar to the M1911, but there are some differences.
However, Chen Xin is not a pistol enthusiast, and he doesn't have any in-depth research on this. What he cares about is how to make the gun, not what kind of pistol it is.
By reading the drawings and consulting the instructions provided by the system, Chen Xin finally knew how to use the tool table in front of him to make a pistol.
First of all, Chen Xin must have raw materials. If he does not have them or the raw materials are not up to standard, he can spend survival points to replenish them or improve their quality.
The second step is to process according to the drawing dimensions. The tools on the tool table are very complete, which can fully meet the needs of processing parts.
It's just that this is a test of Chen Xin's craftsmanship. If the processing accuracy is not enough, there will obviously be problems with the pistol made.
Of course, you can also spend survival points to make the originally unqualified parts qualified.
If you really can't do crafts and want to save trouble, you can also directly spend your survival points to make parts. However, doing so will be more expensive than processing it yourself.
As for the assembly of parts, this cannot be replaced by survival points. The system only provides 3D dynamic assembly diagrams, and Chen Xin needs to do the assembly himself.
Knowing this, Chen Xin immediately wanted to make a pistol.
In terms of raw materials, since the steel exchanged before was still left, Chen Xin only needed to spend 2 survival points to improve the quality of the steel.
As for processing it himself, Chen Xin gave up the idea after hesitating for a while, but chose to spend another 3 survival points and let the system help complete the processing.
Looking at the neatly arranged parts on the workbench, Chen Xin suppressed his excitement and called up the assembly diagram provided by the system. After carefully reading it twice, he confirmed that he had remembered the steps clearly. Assembly started.
Carefully assembling each part according to the system's prompts, Chen Xin moved very slowly. Compared with those people on TV who could quickly assemble firearms while blindfolded, Chen Xin was obviously a layman.
But even so, he still stumblingly assembled the gun.
Insert the magazine, Chen Xin pulled the slide, and holding the pistol that he assembled by himself, Chen Xin made an aiming posture that he thought was handsome.
"Bang!" Chen Xin put the pistol back on the workbench with a somewhat childish imitation of a gunshot.
The gun is a familiar yet unfamiliar thing to Chen Xin.
Speaking of familiarity, which boy hasn’t played with guns when he was a child? Although those are not real guns.
To say it was unfamiliar, thanks to the country's comprehensive gun ban policy, it was very rare for ordinary people to see guns in their daily lives, let alone touch them.
Of course, even if Chen Xin had never seen a gun, he knew that the gun he assembled was of no use except to scare people.
Because it is still missing an important component, and that is bullets.
Whether a gun is powerful or not depends largely on the bullet, not the gun itself.
The firearm itself is just a platform for firing. Although it has a certain impact on the power of the bullet, the quality of the firearm itself affects the accuracy of shooting more than its power.
Most shooting games actually subconsciously ignore this point, leading many people to think that a gun can do enough damage as long as it has bullets. The better the gun, the more powerful it is, but in fact this is not the case.
Chen Xin's pistol uses caliber bullets, and the magazine can hold 12 rounds of bullets.
This is an internationally accepted bullet model. Many countries around the world are using bullets of this caliber, not only for pistols but also for machine guns.
Of course, pistol bullets and machine gun bullets are still different in length. Generally, the length of pistol bullets is 17mm, which means that the standard specification of pistol bullets should be 7.62×17mm.
Since the workbench has the function of making firearms, bullets, as an important part of firearms, will naturally not be missing.
But if Chen Xin, who has no gunpowder, wants to make bullets, he still has to spend 1 survival point to replenish materials.
Fortunately, making bullets is easier than making gun parts, especially when there is a machine. Chen Xin only spent some time to make a box of bullets.
Filling the magazine with bullets one by one, and then inserting them into the handle of the gun, Chen Xin pulled the slide again, but this time a bullet had already been pushed into the chamber.
Afraid of misfiring, Chen Xin turned off the trigger safety, pulled out the magazine again and inserted a bullet before inserting the magazine back in. Touching the pistol, he felt a great sense of peace of mind. (End of chapter)
