- Although Major Pearson used his authority to hand over most of the small arms orders to companies with which he was connected, in order to ensure the progress of delivery and to share the interests, amid the protests of other manufacturers, Next, under the secret coordination of the U.S. Army Department, 200,000 yuan was allocated and handed over to other manufacturers.
In order to deliver the goods as quickly as possible within the time required by Yang Zhen, and to take advantage of this rare opportunity to expand production capacity, even the Springfield Arsenal, which specializes in producing small arms for the US Army, produced 50,000 rifles for Yang Zhen within a month. and fifty million rounds of ammunition,
In fact, the Americans achieved three birds with one stone in this matter. They expanded the strength of Yang Zhen's department, giving them more capital to cause more trouble to the Japanese, and bypassed Congress in disguise. Provided funds to improve equipment to several major small arms manufacturers,
The most important thing is that through this order of 600,000 units, it has tested its production capacity of light weapons before entering the war and prepared for large-scale military expansion in the future. For Americans, this kind of generosity can be used to other countries. Of course, Yang Zhen knew clearly about the opportunity to produce weapons and use funds from other countries to expand his own production capacity so that he could quickly expand production capacity when necessary.
However, he has neither the ability nor the reason to oppose such a mutually beneficial matter. After all, the Americans are his allies from now on and in the next few years, right? In the war in the next few years, Having such a wet nurse with plenty of milk is naturally a good thing.
As for the Americans mastering the performance of this weapon through the production of this weapon, Yang Zhen didn't care. With the Americans' conservative views on light weapons and the equally excellent M-Garand semi-automatic rifle that has begun mass production, they I won't look down on this kind of rifle that uses intermediate bullets.
Moreover, with fully loaded bullet rifles being used all over the world, Americans will not agree to imitate their own rifles, especially this kind of intermediate bullet whose effective range is only half that of a fully loaded rifle bullet. Bullets and firearms are still designed by the Chinese.
Yang Zhen remembered that in later generations, during World War II, the Germans put into mass production the STG 44 automatic rifle that used the world's first intermediate bullet and performed well. After the war, the Soviets used the AK 47 rifle with intermediate bullets. Despite mass production, Americans still stubbornly use the fully loaded M14 automatic rifle.
As for other aspects, as he said, the weapons with the least confidentiality value on the battlefield are light weapons. Millions of them are produced at every turn, almost one for each person. It is difficult to keep secrets on the battlefield, let alone As long as the enemy doesn't capture them, it's better for the Americans to know first than for the Japanese to know first.
After sighing at the production capabilities and craftsmanship of the Americans, Yang Zhen first picked up the small-batch trial product produced by his own arsenal, quickly opened a magazine and went out, then picked up the one made in the United States, and also opened a magazine and went out. , after taking turns to complete the test firing, Yang Zhen carefully tasted the performance of the two, then turned to Xiong Dazhen and said: "You guys did a pretty good job."
"Although the appearance is not as good as that made in the United States, the specific performance is almost the same. Although the accuracy is slightly inferior to that made in the United States, the difference is not significant. The difference in processing technology will inevitably cause The accuracy is different. With our old foundation, it¡¯s pretty good to be able to achieve this level.¡±
After that, Yang Zhen picked up the two rifles and replaced them with new magazines. After firing two more magazines each, he looked carefully at the sights and found that the sights of the two guns did not change under the continuous shooting. There is no need to recalibrate any changes, and the gun body will not be out of shape in any way.
Seeing that the front sight and the gun body had not changed in any way, Yang Zhen was completely relieved. It seemed that the Type 63 rifles with many problems that he saw in later generations were indeed caused by unauthorized changes to the production process and original drawings. Yes, there is nothing wrong with the original design,
After finishing two magazines in a row, Yang Zhen clapped his rifle with satisfaction, turned around and said to Wang Guangyu, Xiong Dazhen and Zhang Zhenhua: "You know why I canceled the continuous shooting on the mass-produced rifle. Instead, we can only use the three-point shooting method."
Regarding Yang Zhen's question, Xiong Dazhen, the main prototype of the rifle, was also puzzled and scratching his head. He also couldn't understand why No. 1 made such a change. It is obvious that this rifle can shoot continuously and its accuracy is high. In the case of continuous shooting, because short rifle bullets are used and the barrel is long enough, the propellant can be completely burned. When firing continuously, although the accuracy is slightly reduced, there is no fundamental change.
Except for the slightly shorter range, this rifle is no less powerful than a light machine gun when firing continuously.??, the magazine capacity of twenty rounds is also equivalent to the Czech light machine gun used by the customs forces. In Xiong Dazhen's view, two such rifles can even be fired at close range and in continuous fire. Effectively suppressed a Type 92 heavy machine gun commonly equipped by the Japanese army.
However, No. 1 canceled the continuous fire function on the mass-produced model and only retained the three-round burst fire function. This really confused Xiong Dazhen. He had only heard that every effort was made to improve the performance of the weapon and increase the number of shots. Speedy, deliberately suppressing the performance of a weapon, but this is the first time I heard it,
As soon as this rifle was produced, Xiong Dazhen, the producer, completely fell in love with this weapon that had the speed of fire of a submachine gun and a light machine gun, as well as a range close to that of a rifle, and its accuracy was no less than that of a manual rifle. In his opinion, with a slightly closer range, this is a light machine gun without a bipod.
Moreover, the recoil is not comparable to that of commonly used light machine guns. The most important thing is that the production cost of this rifle is not more expensive than a manual rifle. Although the integral forged receiver is not as good as that specially produced for the reconnaissance battalion directly under the military region. Compared with the punched and riveted combined receiver used in this short automatic rifle, the processing technology is slightly more complex, and more raw materials are used.
But the overall production cost is not high. The cost and processing of the triangular bayonet it uses are also cheaper than the sword-shaped bayonet used in general rifles. According to Xiong Dazhen¡¯s estimation, in the United States, which has extremely high machining capabilities, it is impossible to produce this kind of bayonet. The so-called No. 1 automatic rifle with excellent performance will cost no more than a manual rifle.
However, Xiong Dazhen couldn't understand it, but that didn't mean that Wang Guangyu and Zhang Zhenhua, two veterans who had been in the army for many years and were battle-hardened, didn't understand. Regarding Yang Zhen's question, Wang Guangyu answered directly without thinking: " No. 1, a small weapon with a fast rate of fire, also means fast consumption of ammunition.¡±
"On the battlefield, you can encounter any situation, and no one can guarantee that the supplementary ammunition will be delivered on time. If the soldiers are used to firing bursts, the ammunition they carry will not last too long. Once the ammunition on hand is damaged by the weapon, If the rate of fire is too fast and all the ammunition you carry is consumed before supplies arrive, it will have a great impact on the battle situation. "
"Furthermore, long-term continuous shooting will inevitably cause excessive wear and tear on the firearm. At the same time, the barrel is also prone to redness and deformation. Rather than letting the soldiers consume ammunition in vain, it is better to directly cancel the continuous shooting setting. Three Burst firing is enough on the battlefield. As for more fire suppression tasks, it can be left to the machine gun.¡±
In response to Wang Guangyu's answer, Yang Zhen nodded and said: "After all, I am an old comrade who thinks too much. You are right. It was with this factor in mind that I decided to cancel the burst function and change it to three bursts. We just want to allow the soldiers to rely on the ammunition they carry to last longer while ensuring the density of firepower.¡±
"The portable ammunition package we designed for this rifle has six spare magazines, plus one that comes with the gun. This means that a soldier can carry one hundred and forty rounds of ammunition, and one hundred and fourteen rounds of ammunition. The base number of ten rounds can last for a long time for a single-shot rifle, but for a rapid-fire weapon, it will be exhausted in a few bursts. "
"Especially for recruits who have never been on the battlefield, they are likely to hold on to the trigger when encountering a situation. If you use continuous rounds, a magazine of twenty bullets will be completely empty within a minute or two. Once a situation occurs, This situation, even if it is equipped with seven magazines, will not last too long, and on the battlefield, this situation is simply unavoidable. "
"And for a manual rifle, the necessary accuracy must be guaranteed. Three-round burst firing can not only effectively ensure the shooting accuracy, but also maintain the necessary firepower intensity. It is enough. If the rifle is also the same as the machine gun , then why should we equip machine guns?¡±
Having said this, Yang Zhen put down the rifle in his hand and said to Zhang Zhenhua and Xiong Dazhen: "You carefully selected and compared the rifles shipped from the United States and selected the best 10,000. The rifle scopes shipped from the United States are stored separately and I want to use them for other purposes.¡±
After putting down the rifle in his hand, Yang Zhen walked to the August 1 light machine gun he had "designed" behind the rifle. He looked at the familiar seventy-five-round drum and gun body under the gun, and forcibly suppressed the feeling in his heart. His thoughts were wandering. He was simply too familiar with the rifle with the same name, which was now produced in small batches, and the machine gun that had accompanied him through his entire two-year military career in later generations.
Looking at the machine gun in front of him, Yang Zhen couldn't help but think of the old troops of later generations, as well as the comrades who lived together day and night and shared life and death. Suppressing the longing in his heart, Yang Zhen leaned down and placed the butt of the machine gun on his own On his shoulder, his finger gently pulled the trigger. Yang Zhen, who seemed a little uneasy this time, only played a drum and thenHe lowered his machine gun,
Although this kind of light machine gun is slightly rough compared to later generations due to processing technology, especially the blue color on the gun body, which is simply incomparable with later generations, its basic performance has not changed in any way, and its burst shooting accuracy , enough to be compared with the Japanese Taisho Thirteen-year-old light machine gun, which always pays attention to shooting accuracy.
Putting down the light machine gun in his hand, Yang Zhen, who seemed a little heavy-minded, just patted the body of the gun but did not make any comments. Yang Zhen did not speak, and the others around him could not say anything, even if they also shot one Wang Guangyu, who was playing the drums, did not speak. The originally relaxed atmosphere in the scene suddenly seemed a bit dull.
