Qhob rab yaj phom raws li lub xeem, tab sis unconvincing sib cav

"Ultima piv regum" txhais ua Lavxias teb sab - "tiam kawg sib cav ntawm cov vaj ntxwv." Cov Latin lus pib mint rau phom nyob rau hauv lub sij hawm ntawm Cardinal Richelieu, tab sis niaj hnub no lawv yuav pom nyob rau lub yeej heev niaj hnub phom. Yav tag los centuries tsis tau hloov lub ntsiab lus ntawm no, tam sim no lub winged kab zauv: thaum tag nrho cov nqe lus nyob rau hauv qhov teeb meem ntawm ob lub xeev tsis tau txaus, lub xeem txoj kev haub yog cov tub quab yuam. Tej teeb meem nrog txhua lwm yam, tsis tsuas kav cov vaj ntxwv thiab cov thawj tswj hwm, tab sis kuj zoo tib yam neeg uas tsis tau yob tawm ib tug formidable phom raws li pov thawj ntawm nws superiority tshaj tus nrog sib ntaus. Lawv nyob twj ywm mus nrhiav lwm txoj kev los muab cov kua zaub ntsuab, thiab ntau npaum li cas nyob rau hauv lub siv cai ntawm ib tug lub xeev. Nyob rau hauv feem ntau lub teb chaws ntawm cov dawb muag ntawm rab phom yog txwv tsis pub, tab sis leej twg xav tua nws tsis yog ib txwm tsis - los ntawm sib ntsib los yog crook, lawv tseem tabtom tau txais ib "lub hnab tshos artillery," ib tug ntawm cov uas kuaj ib qhob rab yaj phom. Lub creators ntawm xws riam phom nyob rau hauv lub mas tsav los ntawm purely criminal kev txaus siab, tiam sis nws kuj tshwm sim hais tias ncaj ncees, tab sis ntau dhau naïve neeg siv lawv inventive txuj ci yog kom meej meej tsis yog, thiab raws li ib tug tshwm sim pom lawv tus kheej tom qab tuav.

Kev yam ntxwv ntawm lub artisanal riam phom nyob ntawm seb tus tsim thiab degree ntawm txuj ci "bloodlust" ntawm nws cov creator (los yog cov neeg). Qhov no yog txaus kom muaj ib tug self-ua pneumatic phom tua yas bullets (npas) thiab muaj ib tug ntau dua puas siab puas ntsws tshaj tuag nyhuv. Tej riam phom raws li lub hauv paus ntsiab ntawm tshuab khiav, i.e. muaj yog tsis muaj combustion cov tshuaj tiv thaiv ib qhov nqi ntawm hmoov - tus nqi yog raug thawb tawm sab nraud quab yuam ntawm compressed cua. Tab sis qhob rab yaj phom "melkashki" tsim, raws li lub npe implies, rau firing me me-caliber mos txwv, nws yuav equated nrog ib tug txaus ntshai riam phom tuag los. Muaj kuj yog xws li "craftsmen" uas tsim designs monstrous caliber, luaj li cas thiab hom, xws li cov neeg uas yuav pom nyob rau hauv lub sci-fi thriller. Tab sis raws li qhov closer soj ntsuam, qhov no hlau dab yog tsis muaj dab tsi tab sis ib tug hauv tsev rab phom. Tej kev npaj ua rau ib tug kev hem thawj feem ntau mus rau tus tswv, thiab ntawm no yog vim li cas. Firstly, lub txhaum cai siv thiab ua cov phom (raws li tau zoo raws li cia, faib, thiab lwm yam) yog ib tug loj ua txhaum. Secondly, txawm lub feem ntau ci ntsa iab gunsmith yuav tsis tau mus sau nyob rau hauv makeshift tej yam kev mob robust tsim, tshwj xeeb yog cov txaus ntshai yog ib tug "tsev" siv thiab ua cov mos txwv. Muaj yog tsis muaj guarantee tias thaum thawj txhaj koob tshuaj tivthaiv yog tsis qhob rab yaj phom smashed mus rau hauv daim, ua raug mob loj rau lub xub, thiab ces deprived ntawm nws lub neej.

Los ntawm tag nrho cov no nws yog tseeb hais tias cov muaj xws li ib tug kev hom riam phom, xws li ib tug hauv tsev rab yaj phom - puab, pheej hmoo ua, thiab tsuas tsis raug cai. Nws cov hauj lwm zoo yog tsis tshua muaj tsis tshua muaj, hais txog tus cuj pwm sab thiab yuav tsis hais lus. Yog li ntawd txaus siab muaj koob muaj npe motto rau "samopaly-chim" yuav zoo heev tawm ntawm qhov chaw.
