"What's the advantage of no support structure?" Qin Guan asked.
Why use this layout with the magazine placed behind? Of course, it's to reduce the length of the whole gun!
The old expert said: "reducing the length of the whole gun is convenient for use in the chariot. There are other narrow spaces, which are also practical. Although the overall length of the gun is short, the length of the barrel is increased, which can have greater initial speed and accuracy."
These advantages have been recognized by light weapons designers all over the world.
"Are these advantages in our mouths or in the mouths of soldiers?" Qin Guan asked.
When Qin Guan said this, the old expert was stunned: "now, the torchless rifle has just begun to be popular. How can soldiers realize these benefits?"
At present, there is no large-scale change, just an experiment.
"There is a big difference between theory and practice. We should not only study weapons in factories and design rooms, but also go deep into reality to see what infantry need." Qin Guan said: "do our infantry care about the weight of one kilogram reduced? How many of our infantry fight in cars?"
At present, although there are advanced infantry combat vehicles in China, the country does not have the funds to replace them. Therefore, a large number of personnel are still motorized infantry. They arrive in the theater by truck and get off to fight with infantry. There is no need for short rifles at all.
"As for shortening the length, we can completely solve it by folding the butt of the gun and shortening the barrel. This is not the weapon we need in large quantities. It is OK to equip a few elite troops, but it is OK to replace them on a large scale as the standard of the troops." Qin Guan said: "The torchless rifle is not a new thing. At the beginning of this century, there have been various torchless design schemes. However, only now has the chicken country, an innovative country, adopted this rifle. In less than 30 years, they should find that they have taken a detour and have to return to the towed rifle."
Qin Guan said it bluntly. This is a detour, just like a small caliber rifle.
Others don't know. Qin Guan knows. The people of the chicken country have developed a supportless rifle, which has led the trend all over the world. What's the result? Finally, they replaced the rifle with a butt like HK416.
"Besides, you know when you fight for a bayonet. One inch is short and one inch is dangerous." Qin Guan said, "who is willing to fight for a bayonet with a supportless rifle?"
Don't say it's useless to fight bayonets. Look at later generations, dozens of NiuGuo soldiers lost their bullets. They took bayonets and killed several. As a result, hundreds of militants were afraid and ran away!
"These are all prejudices. I firmly believe that with supporting rifles, they will be eliminated finally. The future is the world without supporting rifles," said the old expert.
"Well, it's useless for us to argue about this. We have a good saying that practice makes true knowledge. Our country can design two rifles at the same time, and then equip a small amount of troops to see the reaction of our soldiers." Qin Guan said: "just give it to he rizhu base, let the soldiers there try to line up and see which one is more popular."
Can the troops like it? I've seen it. I know it as soon as I hit the target. During the design, the irritating smoke from the shell throwing mouth directly blocks the shooter's line of sight, which will make the shooter's eyes uncomfortable, huge noise, make the shooter's ears uncomfortable, and even temporarily deaf.
Moreover, the line of sight is too high. When shooting, the shooter exposes his big head and is simply the enemy's live target.
The best user of a torchless rifle is the enemy.
Practice makes true knowledge.
"Bring it, bring it!" just then, I saw someone carrying a box of ammunition coming this way.
Director Wang of the firearms Office of 2296 factory was the last to arrive. When he arrived here, he also brought a box of ammunition.
"President Qin, after our comparison, we think this 6.8mm is more suitable." director Wang said to Qin Guan, "these ammunition are all copper shells produced according to the ammunition samples you gave. Now, let's experiment here."
In addition to these ammunition, director Wang also has a gun, type 81 rifle.
The rifle was originally 7.62mm caliber, but in order to study which kind of new ammunition is suitable, they specially changed the rifle and replaced the barrel, gearbox and other parts, so that the gun can fire 6.5 or 6.8mm ammunition.
After their comparison, they thought that although the design of the countersunk bullet was very good and the magazine was short, it was still inconvenient to use. It was not as good as this conventional ammunition.
Now, since it is necessary to test fire at the shooting range, the two small caliber rifle bullets have been proved to be inappropriate. Now we need a new ammunition.
After all, we can't always use the previous 7.62mm ammunition. In this case, there is no progress.
"This time, we'll do another experiment, but this time, I absolutely dare not wear bulletproof vests." Qin Guan said: "100 meters, so you can see clearly."
The bulletproof vest was placed on the target again. It was covered on the outside, and the meat continued to be stuffed inside.
Qin Guan did not dare to be a target again this time, because he knew that the power of this rifle bullet was great, and 5.56 mm could not be penetrated. It was hard to say.
The scholar took the gun, aimed, and then opened fire. In a crisp sound, the bullet flew to the bulletproof insert plate that had been hit several times.
It hit the ceramic shell, smashed the ceramic, and then drilled into the soft protective layer behind. When it was all drilled out, there was still some energy left, so it plunged into the pile of meat, rolled and tore a big hole.
"It's a successful breakdown this time!" shouted the target man.
Everyone looked at the group of blurred rotten meat and felt a sigh in their hearts. If this kind of bulletproof vests are arranged on a large scale, it is really difficult for small caliber rifles to do anything!
If you develop it now, ten years later, when you start mass equipping the troops, it will fall behind again!
"We have made repeated comparisons. The warhead of this bullet is twice the ballistic weight of a 5.56 mm bullet. Although the whole cartridge case is the same as that of a 5.56 mm bullet, its lethality has been greatly improved over a distance of 300 meters. Even at 600 meters, its lethality is 40% higher than that of a 5.56 mm bullet."
Director Wang explained it to everyone. Among the people present, he was the first to support military workers of this caliber. Now, sure enough, this rifle bullet can penetrate targets that other small caliber rifles cannot penetrate.
This was its mission. Qin Guan secretly thought of this 6.8 × The 43mm SPC special rifle bullet was specially developed because the previous rifle could not break through the bulletproof vest.
Of course, if it is the most advanced bulletproof vest, it can only be dealt with with sniper guns and steel core bullets, nothing else.
