Squad machine gun? Everyone was taken aback when they heard Qin Baoshan's words.
Although weapons similar to Czech-made light machine guns have been distributed to infantry squads, there is no such thing as squad-use machine guns at this time. In this era, machine guns are only divided into light machine guns and heavy machine guns.
The light machine gun has a small weight and can be carried by one person. However, in order to increase the amount of ammunition carried, it is usually operated by two people. Similar to the weird crooked machine gun like the little devil, it even requires several people to maintain it. Generally speaking, It uses ordinary rifle bullets. Due to its low weight, the barrel is not thick enough, and the heat dissipation ability is not strong, so it usually shoots in short bursts, and rarely rings like a heavy machine gun.
The heavy machine gun is just the opposite. This kind of weapon is heavy, with a thick barrel, and some are even water-cooled, so it can shoot continuously for a long time, but its portability is very poor. Generally speaking, it is only suitable for fixed use on the ground, and it must not charge with the troops.
In order to combine the advantages of light machine guns and heavy machine guns, a general-purpose machine gun appeared. The earliest general-purpose machine gun should be regarded as the German mg34. Germany was a defeated country and was not allowed to have heavy weapons, so the Germans came up with it. This kind of machine gun uses ammunition chains to feed ammunition, and has strong firepower. With a bipod, it is a light machine gun. With a tripod and a thick barrel, it is a heavy machine gun. In this way, it has the continuous shooting time of a heavy machine gun. The advantages of length, power, and long range, as well as the characteristics of light machine guns that are easy to carry, flexible to operate, and provide fire support to infantry, throughout World War II, this general-purpose machine gun of the Germans was the best.
After the general-purpose machine gun, it is the squad machine gun. Although the current Czech-made machine gun can be regarded as a squad machine gun, the concept of this squad machine gun actually started in the 1950s. It was the first to be proposed. The most popular is the US army, they have been practiced on the m14 and m14a1, and further to the practical m249 squad machine gun.
Squad machine guns use the same rifle bullets as other infantry, which is convenient for logistics supplies. Its main function is to kill the enemy at close range and suppress the enemy's firepower to provide a strong cover for the actions of other combatants. It can be said that, It is the fire support force covering an infantry squad.
Just after World War II, when the Americans were making class machine guns, the Soviets at the same time were also doing it. Moreover, the Soviets made it simpler. They developed directly on the basis of the AK rifle and created the famous PPK class machine gun. machine gun.
Its predecessor, the AK rifle, is a highly reliable rifle. Seeing it spread all over the world and appearing in any war, you will know how excellent it is.
Therefore, it is logical to develop on the basis of this rifle and become a product of gun clanization.
This gun still adopts the gas-guided working principle. The barrel is lengthened to increase the muzzle velocity; the magazine capacity is increased to extend the continuous firepower. It is equipped with a 40-round long magazine or a 75-round drum. It is equipped with a folding bipod to improve shooting accuracy; even the sight has been adjusted for windage; the stock of the gun has also been changed. In fact, the entire modification is the same as Qin Baoshan's current modification.
Qin Baoshan, who came out of the imperial cemetery, is naturally the most familiar with the AK rifle, and it is naturally easy to improve the assault rifle into a squad machine gun.
It's just that the caliber is different, which caused a little trouble, otherwise, there is no need for any calculations at all, as long as you rely on the data in your mind, you can directly process it.
Now, Qin Baoshan has built this kind of machine gun, and then proposed the concept of squad machine guns. Hearing his words, the people on the side also sighed: "If the infantry squad can release this kind of machine gun, it can greatly increase the number of infantry soldiers. Ben's firepower."
"Of course." Qin Baoshan said: "An infantry squad equipped with such a machine gun, and then equipped with several assault rifles, such an infantry squad can directly challenge a company of the enemy!"
In fact, a reasonable configuration is a machine gun, a sniper rifle, and the rest are all assault rifles. In the army of later generations, this formation has already begun. On the battlefield, almost all of them shoot back and forth with assault rifles. .
It's just that it's not possible in China now, especially the Eighth Route Army. If it is equipped in this way, the consumption of bullets will definitely be astronomical.
Therefore, when thinking of this, Qin Baoshan also felt some pressure. If he wanted to be equipped in this way, the production of bullets would have to be accelerated. Fortunately, his side discovered copper mines and could manufacture the raw materials for producing bullets by itself. Equipped with automatic weapons inside, it is simply a fantasy.
It seems that looking for copper mines, increasing copper production, and increasing the supply of bullets is something that can't wait.
"If infantryIf the squad is equipped like this, the number of bullets required is too much. "Sure enough, Liu Daquan began to raise this problem.
"Yes, it is precisely because of this that we need to use this kind of coordination. Our current intermediate-power ammunition is more economical than full-power ammunition. The same raw materials can produce more." Qin Baoshan said.
This can be regarded as an advantage of one's own side.
"Today, let's stop here." Qin Baoshan said: "If there is any problem, we will talk tomorrow."
Everyone showed meaningful smiles. This Qin Baoshan couldn't wait to go home and hug his wife.
When Qin Baoshan turned to leave, he saw Zhao Xiuhong beside him, so he lowered his head and whispered a few words to Zhao Xiuhong. The expression on Zhao Xiuhong's face instantly became serious, and he nodded solemnly.
Walking out of the workshop, the night wind outside was cool and the surroundings were dark. Unknowingly, Wei Shuqin felt her hand being held by Qin Baoshan, so she raised her head and looked at him with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Baoshan felt that the beautiful atmosphere was destroyed. There were too few opportunities in the past and the moon. It was so easy to find the opportunity and the atmosphere. broken.
A resentful expression appeared on Qin Baoshan's face.
"I also hope he has no problems." Qin Baoshan said: "When we came back, we caught a devil's spy named Yoshiko Kawashima."
"Yoshiko Kawashima? The one I imitated?" Wei Shuqin asked in surprise. She was deeply impressed by this incident, because this was the first time she fought side by side with Qin Baoshan, and at the same time, since then, she has admired Qin Baoshan very much. It seems that there is nothing that Qin Baoshan does not know .
Qin Baoshan nodded: "Later she was found out by us. When she brought her back, she wanted to instigate Zhao Xiuhong. She used Zhao Decheng's affairs at that time to try to provoke the relationship between me and Zhao Xiuhong. It is estimated that she even tried to provoke Zhao Xiuhong. kill me."
Wei Shuqin was suddenly nervous when she heard it.
"So, a traitor is too harmful. Even after a year of death, the traitor still lingers. If it can be avoided, I still want to avoid this situation as much as possible." Qin Baoshan said. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
