The Walking Dead has always been a favorite drama of dogs. I chased comics for a long time before AMC was made into an American TV series. In a blink of an eye, the tenth season of The Walking Dead has finished, and people are ten years older ... What a son of a bitch ... The actors in the play have changed a lot compared with ten years ago, and the only constant is Yin Lun in Rick's hands. At the beginning of this article, dogs mainly talk to you about familiar and unfamiliar weapons that have appeared in movies and games.
The gun Rick took from beginning to end was Colt Python, 1955 was put into production. Before talking about this gun, let me briefly talk about the situation of Colt Company in those days.
We have heard the saying, "God created human beings and samuel colt made them equal".
Yes, America19th century was accompanied by the westward movement, which made Colt's name printed in the blood of Americans. This period is a period of rapid development of Colt. At the beginning of the 20th century, with Browning's blessing, the colt191pistol became the American standard pistol again. Through the windfall of World War I, colt also attracted the golden age.
However, excessive expansion will always encounter bottlenecks. After World War I, the Great Depression came and Colt was in crisis. In order to tide over the depression, Colt began to accept various OEM contracts such as dishwashers, commercial calculators and motorcycles instead of working hard on firearms. But this unprofessional behavior makes Colt more and more useless in the civilian gun market. In contrast, the origin of Smith Wei Sen's old rival is reflected in Rick's Yin Lun.
In 1930s, the .357 Magnum and 27 revolvers were developed, which opened the era of revolvers with large charges and became the favorite of American police.
A few years later, World War II started. Colt began to manufacture guns such as 19 1 1 by OEM. Although this old-fashioned style of play allowed Colt, who was dying in the Great Depression, to continue his life, his pace in gun research and development was far behind others, and the old production mode also kept Colt's cost control high. In other words, Colt received many orders in World War II, however,
After the war, Colt, who lost his order, was on the verge of bankruptcy. Colt's board of directors finally decided to make a bold attempt-to build a revolver with feelings and high positioning with the help of western popular culture at that time.
1955 also coincides with the 50th anniversary of the establishment of colt company 150, and the colt python wheel with a caliber of .357 was produced.
Hand-assembled and polished, and the signature of the engineer can be seen on some parts; Laser precise correction; There is a symbolic radiator above the barrel, and a balance bar below the barrel. When hammering, the bomb nest is locked firmly, and the air leakage at the joint between the bomb nest and the barrel is much better than other wheels, which further improves the accuracy and power of the python.
At the beginning, pythons had only two colors, roast blue and bright nickel; The barrel is available in 2.5 inches, 3 inches, 4 inches, 6 inches and 8 inches. Obviously, Rick's is bright nickel with a 6-inch barrel.
Of course, its price is also very expensive, 1955 125 dollars, if it is a pattern, it will cost 245 dollars. At that time, even the price of m191pistol or ordinary shotgun was only over 60 yuan. According to the price comparison, 1 in 1955 is close to the present 10.
Colt python was quickly sought after after after its launch, especially suitable as a gift for the giver. There are also many purchases in the field of law enforcement, such as the 4-inch python below, with the badge saying California High Speed Patrol.
Wilson, the official historian of Colt, and ian hogg, the historian of firearms, rated Colt python as the Rolls Royce in the textile industry and the best revolver in the world.
However, the wheel is a wheel after all, and the feeling of just playing will always fade away. 1999, Colt stopped producing expensive pythons, and now it has become the semi-automatic pistol of the world. Pythons with good appearance can often get a high price of 3000-4000 dollars in the second-hand market.
