Self-Loading Pistol Commission Stage One (FY856)
  • Threadmarks
    • The Cavalry and Infantry Officers have grown a bit tired of carrying around giant single action revolvers and have begun agitating for a commission to study to cover those new-fangled Self-loading pistols, and approve them for adoption or private purchase if they meet standards.

    Naturally at the moment, you're under pressure from the officers who want to buy new shiny tax-deductible things, gunsmiths who want to sell them new shiny tax deductible things, and the Army General Headquarters who don't see what all the fuss is about and would rather you didn't waste funds on silly things like a new pistol without getting something to show for it. Especially since Army General Headquarters were just forced into spending 50 000 thalers on Arbatescu-built Dumonthier guns. Fortunately, the Kaiser is rather fond of novelties (like Dumonthier guns,) and has ordered an investigation into the various self-loading pistols presently on the market to take place starting in FY856.

    That out of the way, and orders in hand, it's time to assemble the commission.
    Possible candidates for your team include:
    (choose SIX)
    [] SR Tidur, Engineer for the Ordinance Board.
    [] Josip Kaldhoff, Cavalry officer.
    [] M. Zaslovski, Infantry Officer.
    [] S. Meyer, contract engineer.
    [] Fan Dogali, explosives chemist.
    [] Bursa Jan, firearms designer.
    [] Parsival Smyd, ballistics expert.
    [] Jan Nieminen, Cavalry officer.
    [] Sandor Ivalko, Infantry officer.
    [] Saul Raussenstein, physician.

    Guys, how big of a punch do we want the pistol to Have? We might be able to sneak a heavier round I to it if we copy the mag setup from the c96. Issue is how unwieldy it would be.

    Look, we are going to be looking to ensure that our recommendations especially for an autopistol cartridge carry weight, which means we need a physician to assist in evaluation and give his opinion. Furthermore with regards to other choices, Tidur makes Meyer superfluous, and I would prefer to have a cavalry officer over an infantry officer simply due to the fact that we had solely an infantry officer in the last commission.

    A ballistics expert is overkill. We make it go fast, we see how much damage it does to some dead or live pigs, we make sure it doesn't shit out on us, we make it useable, boom. Good gun.

    I generally agree with your selection though I would ask you to figure out what to drop to include the Infantry officer, seeing as this generation of pistols will be what goes into - should it happen - the equivalent of a Great War.

    @NothingNow - any chance we can do an artillery design at some point in the future?

    Mama likes big booms.
