41 new secret weapons

"Can I really take all of these away?" Tagg, hardly believing his own eyes, pointed at the sealed wooden crates and asked Tang Mo.

These wooden crates were simply boards that had been cut and nailed together, with a basic structure inside: some crossboards with grooves, across which the firearms were securely fit in tidy rows.

Above and below, each wooden crate contained ten brand-new K1 Quick Guns, still smelling of oil.

Accompanying ammunition pouches made of leather, along with the gun belts, were crammed into the wooden crates, serving as packing material.

This new type of gun belt was quite elaborate, with a place for attaching a bayonet, with two ammo pouches fixed securely on either side—each side having two independent ammo pouches.

Four ammo pouches could hold 40 paper cartridges, and the sturdy lining ensured that even if the pouches were struck, they wouldn't easily deform, thus protecting the bullets inside in the complex conditions of a battlefield.
