This question is the most important. After all, the current lack of bullets in the Eighth Route Army is caused by the use of automatic weapons. Even little devils dare not use automatic weapons on such a large scale.
The little devil blindly pursues the high precision of the 38 Gail, why? Is it because the little devil lacks resources? Even if the little devil has various military factories and does not have enough copper mines, it is useless. If it is replaced with automatic firepower, one can imagine how much the little devil's bullets are in demand.
Although the main weapon of the Eighth Route Army is the bolt-action rifle. There are the 38 big covers that captured the little devil, the original Hanyang made, and our own Bayi style. There are two kinds of calibers, 6.5 and 7.9, but these weapons are all single-shot shooting methods, and one magazine with five bullets pressed in at a time is enough for use.
For the three guns and eight roads, three bullets are fired, and the last two bullets are left to charge directly. This is the standard combat process. So a soldier with five bullets is enough. But now the assault rifle is different. Even if an assault rifle only carries four magazines, each magazine has thirty rounds of ammunition, that is more than one hundred rounds. Load 70 rounds of bullets, that is nearly 300 rounds of bullets.
It is conceivable that the lack of ammunition in the Eighth Route Army is mainly caused by the use of assault rifles. It is precisely because of this that the number of assault rifles equipped by ordinary troops is not large, and ordinary rifles are still the main ones. The Bayi Type produced by Huangyadong Arsenal is the main weapon of many troops. Assault rifles are mainly equipped in Li Yunlong's cavalry units.
Now if you want to solve the problem of bullets, you have to solve the problem of bullets used by assault rifles. Ordinary bolt-action rifles, even if only reloaded bullets are enough. Assault rifles have to use brand new bullets. If the problem of bullets is solved, then the Eighth Route Army can expand the proportion of assault rifles used. The big guys envy Li Yunlong to the point of dying. But other troops simply cannot afford such large-scale equipment. Li Yunlong dared to use it because he could capture a large number of devil's weapons and equipment on the battlefield. Then send the little devil's weapon back to Eighth Road to exchange with the arsenal. Other troops do not have this ability, so naturally they cannot be equipped in large quantities, thus forming a vicious circle.
At the same time, the Eighth Route Army also wants to have more machine guns. According to Qin Baoshan's suggestion, this kind of machine guns is also improved by using the current assault rifles. These machine guns require large quantities of ammunition. If the steel-cased ammunition proposed by Qin Baoshan can only be used for ordinary rifles, then it is meaningless.
After hearing this question, everyone looked at Qin Baoshan. Qin Baoshan coughed, and then said: "The steel-cased ammunition I'm talking about is mainly to solve the problem of using bullets in our assault rifles."
The boss just said that an unlimited supply of bullets can be given to the Independent Cavalry Regiment. For the Eighth Route Army military factories, this is a huge burden, so it is already very good to provide them with steel shells. At that time, Li Yunlong wanted to protest in time, but the protest would be invalid.
In later generations, the most widely used is the ak rifle. This kind of steel-cased ammunition in China is also used for this kind of rifle. Of course, at this time, the name of the Chinese rifle has become Bayi Bar, which has become the memory of many soldiers. These steel-cased bullets were originally prepared for assault rifles, so how could they not be used?
Facing everyone's questions, Qin Baoshan explained in detail: "In automatic shooting, an important problem is shell extraction. If we want to talk about shell extraction, our steel shell bullets are actually better, because our steel shell bullets Higher mechanical strength."
Ordinary bolt-action rifles do not have this problem, because bolt-action rifles all use the structure of a rotating rear puller. After the bullet is shot out, the bullet casing is pushed out by pulling the bolt, all of which are manually controlled, so even if there is something wrong with the bullet casing, it can be pulled out. But the continuous fire weapon is different, it is automatically loaded. No matter what principle is used, the ejected shells need to be thrown out automatically, and the new bullets need to be loaded. Everything is done automatically, so there will be a problem of extracting the shells.
In this regard, steel shell bullets have inherent advantages over copper shell bullets. Because steel has higher mechanical strength.
In order to be able to draw the shells more conveniently, it is a big deal to increase the strength of the shells. According to the processing level of the Eighth Route Army, the manufacturing error may be larger. , If it is a copper case bullet, it may be broken, but the steel case bullet will not, because it is stronger.
In order to deal with steel shell bullets, making some changes can solve various problems.
"At the same time, the ductility of the steel shell is a bit poor after all. During use, it may stick together, and the extraction of the shell may not be smooth.What's more, when we designed the intermediate power ammunition, we had already made the bullet into an obvious conical shape to avoid jamming. At the time of design, reservations had been made for steel shell bullets. "
When Qin Baoshan said this, everyone was even more surprised. Unexpectedly, Qin Baoshan had already made preparations.
In order to manufacture an assault rifle, Qin Baoshan deliberately invented a new intermediate power ammunition. Because 7.62mm bullets are not used in large quantities in China, this intermediate power ammunition is used after shortening the 6.5mm bullets of the little devil. At the time of design, the bullet had already been made into an obvious conical shape. This is made according to the design method of the AK rifle. In fact, Qin Baoshan didn't think so much when making it. But now, he has thought of the benefits of doing so. This conical shape, with a smaller front and a larger rear, makes it easier to pull out the cartridge case.
"Since Comrade Qin Baoshan has made a perfect plan in advance, I think we can try to make it. If we can really make this kind of bullet, it will be of great significance to our Eighth Route Army." The boss Finally spoke.
What does it mean? From then on, the Eighth Route Army no longer needed to worry about bullets! Bolt-action rifles can undoubtedly use steel-cased bullets, and automatic rifles can also use steel-cased bullets. The existing brass production capacity only needs to be used to smear the surface of the shell and make the bullet. In this way, the output of bullets will definitely be doubled several times. With enough bullets, are you afraid that you will not be able to beat the little devil?
In the final analysis, there is still a shortage of brass. If there is enough brass, what kind of steel case bombs will be used. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
