After getting the news from Qin Baoshan, the three Johns ran over without stopping. They are selling to the navy, and it seems that the effect is not bad. The navy has not directly expressed strong resistance like the army, but is somewhat interested, so it should be possible to have equipment. Then they heard Qin Baoshan's invitation. When they learned that Qin Baoshan was with the paratroopers, they couldn't help but pat themselves on the head. Why are they so stupid? I thought that the Marine Corps would be the first to rush up. Don't you think that the paratroopers are also going to rush up?
When these charging troops are facing danger, they definitely need a powerful weapon. In terms of firepower density and range, they will definitely have a choice. The traditional forces and stubborn forces of the Army cannot affect them. After all, they are the ones on the battlefield. If there are more suitable weapons, why don't they choose them?
So the three Johns ran over in a hurry. This time, in addition to their own bullets, they also brought a specially developed rifle.
Browning was the first to tinker with this automatic rifle that uses intermediate-power rifle bullets. After all, he was originally designing automatic rifles. In the past, he had already designed an automatic rifle like the m1918. It's just because this gun uses full power ammunition. Therefore, the recoil force is very large. Although it is called an automatic rifle, in the actual design, unless two tripods are added, otherwise, it is used as a semi-automatic rifle. At the same time, this gun is also relatively heavy.
After developing this intermediate power bullet, Browning upgraded his m1918 rifle. The barrel has been shortened for portability. Anyway, according to their vision, it is more than enough to meet the range requirements within 300 meters. At the same time the front magazine was increased to 30 rounds. The magazine seems to have a certain curvature. The whole gun still looks very good.
Gardran also came up with one. It's just that the rifles designed by the two are basically the same in appearance. There is nothing to say about this. After all, the same ammunition is used, and the gas-guided automatic principle is used, so it is naturally very similar. After the end of World War II, Gardland once produced the m14 automatic rifle. Now this gun can be regarded as a sister model of this gun.
Only Pedersen has not yet specially designed a firearm. But he was not discouraged, because he made the bullet. If the U.S. Army places a large number of orders, then every factory can receive work. Even if he cannot receive orders for the production of rifles, as long as he produces bullets, it will be enough to support him. If the original bullets are still used, then due to the huge inventory, there is no need for production at all.
Now, two rifles have been sent over. It's just that these rifles are complete wooden buttstocks. When he saw these rifles, Qin Baoshan immediately waved his hand: "Bring me the woodworking saw."
Now Qin Baoshan has become a god in their eyes, so someone immediately handed Qin Baoshan a wooden saw. Without saying a word, Qin Baoshan put one of the rifles on the stool and stepped on it with his feet. Looking at the gun body, he creaked and sawed against the wooden handle of the rifle.
The three Johns stared wide-eyed. I don't know what Qin Baoshan is going to do? But when they saw the m1 carbine used for comparison, they reacted a little bit. Since it is used by paratroopers, it must be able to fold the buttstock so that it is convenient for them to use. But looking at the part Qin Baoshan sawed off, he not only sawed off the butt of the gun, but also saw off the part of the hand.
In this era, all kinds of automatic rifles have been improved from ordinary bolt-action rifles, and naturally inherit many schemes of bolt-action rifles. Hold it in place of the groove so that your index finger just holds the trigger. Then put the butt of the gun to the shoulder, and you can shoot calmly. Even if it is made into a semi-automatic rifle or even an automatic rifle, this shooting scheme is still retained.
Qin Baoshan didn't care, and just sawed off all the butts of the gun, leaving him bare. Although the gun is short again, it also brings new problems, how to put the right hand? The index finger is used to pull the trigger. If the other fingers of the right hand have no place to hold it, then there is no way to use force at all.
Of course, Qin Baoshan had already thought of a solution for them. Qin Baoshan creaked and sawed off the butt of the gun. Then another piece of wood was found, and it was cut into the shape of a handle with a sharp knife. Then I picked up a few nails and smashed them with a bang. It really has the spirit of the Eighth Route Army's local method of getting on a horse. But after he smashed it, it seemed to be working fine. This grip is fixed to the tail of the gun by nails. Although there is no butt at the saw cut, it is still possible to hold this grip.to shoot.
The other gun was also modified in the same way. After everything was done, Qin Baoshan said: "Go, go to the shooting range, and also call Lieutenant Colonel William to try the gun."
So, on the training ground of the paratroopers, a group of people surrounded them. Everyone looked at the three Williams. Some people knew that they were very famous designers, while others didn't know much about them. But looking at the two guns in their hands, it was still a bit strange.
To look at a gun, you must first look at the magazine. Just by looking at the shape of the magazine, you can know what bullet is used. Now when they see those magazines, they can find that they are different from any kind of bullets they know.
Lieutenant Colonel William walked over solemnly. Qin Baoshan said to him: "For other troops, the first thing to compare is the shooting ability. But for the paratroopers, the first thing to compare is the length and weight of the guns. So please compare now. "
Lieutenant Colonel William nodded. Putting the three guns side by side, you can make a comparison. In terms of length, the m1a1 carbine is the longest. After all, Qin Baoshan saw it short. In terms of weight, the three guns are almost the same. If you weigh them carefully, one of the rifles with the butt sawn off should be the smallest in weight.
"You know all of these, right?" Qin Baoshan said, "Then let's compare the shooting capabilities of these guns. Please ask someone to place the targets at a distance of 300 meters, ten targets at a time." (Note) Website website: www.hlnovel.com
