Chapter 238： Six. Eight-mm bullet

German industrial enterprises are developed. For the manufacture of light weapons, there are Mauser Arsenal, Irma Company, Heinel Company, etc. Among them, Irma Company has developed the latest MP36 submachine gun and is improving the production process. To save material by stamping, in order to carry out more mass production.

As for the task of choosing a new mid-power bullet, it fell to the Heinel Company, which was also developed by this company in history anyway.

Hugo Schmeiser, the gun designer of Heinel Company, as the main person in charge, is now welcoming Cyrek and his party.

"After various comparisons, we think that after the caliber exceeds 6 mm, the lethality is limited." Hu Ge introduced to the people present: "Although small-caliber bullets enter the human body, they will roll over to kill the target, but We still couldn't take care of the long-distance situation, so we finally gave up."

"Now, after comparison, we have two bullets that are the most suitable." Hu Ge said: "One is the 7.92×33mm rifle short that is consistent with our current caliber. It is better than our current 7.92×57mm standard. The rifle ammunition is shortened, the warhead is lighter, the firing gunpowder is reduced, the effective range is correspondingly shortened, and the recoil is greatly reduced, which can meet the needs of continuous firing."

"The other is the 6.8X43mm small caliber ammunition. After comparison, we think this ammunition can fully meet our needs. The firepower is ferocious and the recoil is small, but this will be different from our current caliber. "Hu Ge continued to introduce.

As he said, walking, he had come to the shooting range. On the launch pad, two peculiarly shaped submachine guns appeared in the sight of everyone.

Ordinary submachine guns have straight magazines, but the current magazines are curved, curved, narrow and wide.

"These two are the submachine guns that we use new rifle bullets and improved." Hu Ge introduced to the people: "The two kinds of magazines are 30 rounds. At a distance of 300 meters, they are still It has sufficient lethality. Even if it is placed at a distance of 400 meters, it has a fairly high accuracy."

Cyric picked up the narrow magazine. This gun was very similar to the STG44 recorded in later history. Of course, when it was finalized, it still used the MP44 serial number.

From the appearance of the gun body, it is very similar to the widely popular AK rifle in later generations. Of course, this similarity refers to the appearance. It has a small grip at the back, a curved magazine in the front, and a wooden **** at the back. The essentials are similar.

(As for the blood relationship between STG44 and AK series rifles, Huadong Zhixiong is inconvenient to say more. In short, some people say they are plagiarism, and some strongly deny it. From the internal mechanical structure, stg44 is a gas-guided gun deflection lock, AK is The rotary lock of the air-guided gun machine can be said to be the same as the automatic method. Both are air-guided and have pistons, but the locking structure is different.)

Pressing his shoulders, pulling the bolt, Cyric pulled the trigger.

"Da da da..." The gunshot sounded, the muzzle moved slightly, and the bullet shell was continuously pushed out from the side of the gun. The recoil was indeed not small, but the gun body was already able to be controlled stably!

Cyric knew him without a teacher. No one taught him how to aim. He already fired proficiently. Everyone in the room opened their eyes wide, saying that General Cyric was very powerful, and now it is true!

After trying the narrow magazine, Cyric then tried the wide magazine and fired several shots as well.

Narrow and wide are the difference between bullets. A 7.92 mm bullet is 33 mm long, while a 6.8 mm bullet is 43 mm. Therefore, a small-caliber bullet has a longer magazine.

"The performance of the two guns is similar." Cyric said: "It seems that it is indeed a difficult problem to choose."

The stability of this gun is almost the same. What is needed most now is the selection, two calibers, what is the most suitable choice?

"Well, not bad." Hitler also picked up the gun, following Cyric's way, pulling the trigger.

Hitler is now in his prime of life. He has been on the battlefield during World War I, and now he is very interested in testing the gun himself.

"Choosing the caliber of 7.92 mm can be consistent with the caliber of our current models. In this way, our original production line does not need to be adjusted. For example, the original barrels can be used." Hu Ge continued to explain.

This is good, and the simplest, the barrels of the Mauser 98K rifles in stock now can be cut into two sections to become the barrels of two existing submachine guns. It is so convenient!

In this era, the calibers of rifles are diverse, and each country has its own standards. It will be considered unified in later generations. The main force of the entire West is 5.56 mm, and the entire Soviet camp is 7.62 and 5.54 mm. The world.

"However, if you use 6.8 mm bullets, the amount of metal used will be reduced." Hu Ge said.

Both have similar lethality. However, the caliber of the 6.8mm bullet is reduced, and the quality of the bullet is less than that of the 7.92mm bullet. Although a bullet is not much different, it is not right, the demand for this bullet The amount is astronomical, so the total amount is quite impressive!

"Cyric, what do you think?" Hitler asked Cyric. This thing cannot be wrong, after all, this will be the main submachine gun of the German army in the future!

"The Führer I think that the 6.8mm bullet is suitable for our empire’s army." Cyric said: "The reduction in the mass of the warhead means that we will be less dependent on resources, and the individual soldier The number of bullets carried will also increase."

The empire lacks resources. From this point of view, the 6.8mm bullet has a huge advantage, not to mention that the mass of the bullet is reduced, and the individual soldier can carry more bullets!

This is of course one reason, and for another reason, Cyric has a mirror in his heart. In the future generations, this is the most highly rated ammunition!

Although NATO uniformly used 5.56 mm bullets, after years of use, this type of ammunition reflected the problem of insufficient lethality. In 2014, NATO made internal comparisons and finally concluded that 6.8 mm bullets were the most suitable.

Unfortunately, for so many years, NATO has already had a pile of 5.56 mm bullets, and it is impossible to choose a new caliber.

As a traverser, as Cyric, who was a military enthusiast before, now that we have come to this era, if the best assault rifle can't be made out, what are the advantages of the traverser?
