"For the sake of saving." Qin Baoshan said: "Our resources are limited after all, so if we want to use the same raw materials to make more bullets, what do you think we can do?"
Now, I can't say my main purpose. I have to find a reason to fool around. After all, if the real purpose is revealed, everyone will laugh at myself for being overwhelmed, right?
Although our side has innovated and created a Bayi-style horse rifle with a short body and a long bayonet, it can be said to be a trade-off to meet our own needs. Improvements are still necessary.
However, this can't dispel the other party's doubts. This Liu Zizhong is a master after all. At this time, his eyes are still full of confusion: "In this case, it can reduce our raw material consumption, but it also means that the power will be reduced. ah."
In this era, bolt-action rifles are the mainstream, and what they pay attention to is to kill the enemy at a long distance. It can be said that ordinary rifles at this time can be used as sniper rifles. On the European battlefield, they use their own bolt-action rifles. With a sight on the rifle, it becomes a professional sniper rifle.
The farther you fight, the better. If you kill the enemy from a long distance, you are protecting yourself. The little devil is short of resources, and he pays attention to high precision, even at the cost of reducing power.
What about Qin Baoshan? Reducing the length of the bullet casing and reducing the propellant will lead to a serious drop in range. Is this appropriate?
"Master Liu, please observe and observe. How far is the approximate combat distance of our troops on the battlefield?" Qin Baoshan said, "Under normal circumstances, they are all within 300 meters, right? So, our bullets are really powerful. It's redundant. Now, let's do an experiment to see the effect. If we do it well, we will definitely be commended by the headquarters. At that time, you, Master Liu, will also have the credit."
Although you can shoot far, but after all, shooting far means that the hit rate will be reduced, because it takes time for the bullet to fly forward. You aimed at the opponent and shot, but after you pulled the trigger, the other Suddenly bent over to tie my shoelaces!
Long-distance shooting will reduce the hit rate. Therefore, in actual operations, the distance between the Eighth Route Army's firefights is not far away. In order to save bullets, the basic principle of the Eighth Route Army's combat is to bring the enemy closer. As close as 200 meters, or even 100 meters, there were not many bullets anyway, so I went up and stabbed them with bayonets after shooting.
In this case, there is a situation where the power of the bullet is excessive. Since we can't use it, let's try to get closer.
Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Liu Zizhong finally agreed: "That's right, what you said is reasonable, okay, then let's try to process a batch, how much are you going to make?"
"It doesn't take much, just get me five hundred rounds first." Qin Baoshan said.
Isn't that too much? I thought you would try five rounds first! However, since you are the director of the factory, and all these equipment and raw materials are produced by you, we are also embarrassed to disobey them.
"Success." Liu Zizhong replied.
Solved a problem first! Qin Baoshan let out a long breath, and the next step was the design of the new rifle. This design is completely in my head, but now I have to make a little modification!
What is Qin Baoshan going to do? Of course it is the king of the gun!
It's just that the first problem we face is the bullet.
At this stage, there are two main types of firearms, submachine guns and bolt-action rifles. Among them, submachine guns flourished in the trench warfare of World War I. The best choice, fast rate of fire, strong firepower!
However, this kind of gun also has shortcomings. It uses pistol bullets, so the range is short and the power is not enough. Generally speaking, although it is very enjoyable to shoot, it is not bad for shooting within 100 meters, and it reaches 200 meters. Besides, it is almost irrepressible.
What about a bolt-action rifle? On the contrary, the range is far. In this era, the range is often a thousand meters. At the same time, the power is also strong enough. Except for the little devil's 38 cover whose initial velocity is too high and the power drops, the others are almost all hit by one shot. lose combat effectiveness. However, the rate of fire of this gun is too slow!
How to effectively combine the two? On the battlefield, sometimes it is necessary to shoot from a long distance, and sometimes it is necessary to suppress firepower, which is difficult to meet.
Machine gun?
Machine guns can be satisfied, but machine guns cannot be equipped in large quantities. Not bad for an infantry squad with a machine gun!
This is a difficult problem for gun designers, and they have begun to work hard.Tired research has yielded results. For example, the Americans used their m1 Garand semi-automatic rifle to improve the m14 automatic rifle. As long as it has the ability to fire continuously, it can easily suppress firepower.
However, it uses the 7.62x51 mm NATO standard high-power rifle ammunition, which is the bullet of an ordinary bolt-action rifle. Excessively large recoil increases, which in turn affects the gunner's operation, making it difficult for the gunner to control the muzzle jump caused by continuous shooting!
Therefore, there is such a joke that a shooter holds the trigger of the m14 and does not let go, stubbornly insisting on finishing a magazine, only to find that the last bullet just hit his heel!
Therefore, even if they are designed as automatic rifles, most of these guns are still used as semi-automatic rifles in actual combat, and no one dares to use bursts.
The solution is to reduce the power of the bullet. It used to be called full power ammunition. After the power is reduced, it is also more powerful than pistol bullets, so it is called intermediate power ammunition.
If you want Qin Baoshan to choose, of course he likes to use the 7.62mm ammunition of AK47 the most. However, if you really use this caliber, it will be even more uncommon for your side. The commonly used ones here are 7.9mm and 6.5mm. mm caliber!
Therefore, he can only use the existing production line to improve, first produce a batch of 7.9mm intermediate power ammunition, and shorten the length of the Mauser rifle bullet from 57mm to 33mm.
As for why it is not other data, this is of course not chosen by Qin Baoshan at will, because after a few years, the Germans on the Soviet-German battlefield will choose this size as the intermediate power ammunition. They must have done a lot of experiments. Qin Baoshan took it and used it! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
