Chapter 887 Improvement of G36
Xu Xianqin returned to the military headquarters and could not let go of the idea of selecting new weapons for the special forces. He reported this to the army commander. Both of them favored the 36 assault rifle, which is the first small-caliber assault rifle in China. It also uses a lot of high-tech materials, which is no worse than the advanced automatic rifles in Western countries. Moreover, the appearance of the 36 looks very Chinese.
For this reason, Xu Xianqin and Li Weiru and Duo Yingxian came to Bincheng to visit Lin Johnson and discuss with him about purchasing 36.
That morning, Li Weiru and Duo Yingxian said: "Old Duo, we are helping Deputy Commander Xu to do things this time. Don't be personal and don't argue with the designer about gun design issues. If you want to poach others' lack of technology, we will do it ourselves and don't say it out!"
Duo Young-hyun nodded helplessly and said, "But at least we have to let Lin Johnson know where his gun needs improvement. I don't have to cause trouble for him. 36 does have design flaws."
Li Weiru advised: "There is no perfect weapon. It is precisely because 36 is still inadequate that we have given a chance."
Do Young-hyun had a smile on his face: "I try to talk less and observe more."
Li Weiru smiled and said, "It's not that you don't want to stop talking, you have to participate in the improvement of 36, so that we can understand the technical characteristics of this gun in 208."
Xu Xianqin knocked on the door and said to the two: "Let's go, Lin Johnson's car is here. This is the first time I have seen such a weapon designer."
Li Weiru and Duo Yingxian followed Xu Xianqin out of the 69th Division Guesthouse, and a black Lexus was parked at the door.
The car drove west along the main road and arrived at Dongxing Group in less than 20 minutes. The front desk staff took the three to Lin Johnson's office.
After the two sides met, Lin Qiang-Chengsheng looked carefully at General Xu Xianqin. He was a burly figure, broad face, sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes, and he was a standard soldier.
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "Hello, Deputy Commander Xu, welcome to Dongxing Group."
Xu Xianqin was also observing Lin Qiang, but he didn't expect that the designer was actually a young man. After looking at him, he looked at him as 22 years old.
The young man is tall and strong in a fit dark suit. He is both relaxed and energetic, giving people a good impression. Xu Xianqin asked in confusion: "Hello, are you the designer of 36?"
Lin Johnson nodded and said, "Yes, I am the designer of 36. Lin Johnson, chairman of Dongxing Group, welcome all three of you."
He said to Li Weiru and Duo Yingxian again: "Director Li, Researcher Duo, hello, let you wait for a long time."
Li Weiru shook hands with Lin Johnson and said, "This time we accompanied Deputy Commander Xu to understand the improvement of the assault rifle of the 36."
Xu Xianqin nodded and said, "Not only do we need to understand, we must select the most elite soldiers from each reconnaissance unit and form a quick response special force. Since it is the most elite special force, we naturally need to use the best guns, so we have a fancy to the 36 you designed."
Lin Johnson nodded with a smile: "I welcome the use of the weapons I designed. Come with me, the place where 36 is made is in the precision instrument factory."
Xu Xianqin and the other two followed Lin Qiang downstairs and got on the car. The Precision Instrument Factory was a three-story white building, and the advancedness inside was somewhat beyond their expectations.
Lin Johnson found the person in charge, Director Yang Rengan. Director Yang has superb milling skills. In addition, he is also very talented in design. Senior milling workers not only need to know how to process but also know how to design. After Yang Rengan came to Dongxing Group from a third-tier factory, he was soon discovered by Lin Johnson and entrusted with important tasks. He led Dongxing Precision Instrument Factory to overcome many technical obstacles and have become the backbone of the company.
In the product library, Lin Johnson opened an iron box with a password lock, inside which were 36 series rifles packaged in vacuum bags.
Xu Xianqin took a handful, looked at the magazine in surprise, and said, "This transparent design is very good. You can clearly see the number of bullets, but if you are too close to the enemy, it is easy for the other party to see if you have bullets."
What I saw before were all black opaque magazines, and the surface of the gun had been phosphated. This is the first time I saw a transparent magazine.
Lin Johnson said: "So it uses a brown transparent design, but this concern is also correct. You cannot get too close to the enemy. 36 has an effective accuracy within 300 meters, and soldiers can make full use of this."
Xu Xianqin smiled and said, "This gun is indeed handsome, and it has made great progress over the Bayi Bar. Have you continued to improve so that this gun can truly go to the battlefield!"
Li Weiru also asked: "Mr. Lin, our 208 Institute has tested this gun before and has also given you some suggestions for improvement. I wonder what the situation is now?"
Duo Yingxian looked at Xu Xianqin and said, "We have the following disadvantages: the plastic material is not up to standard, the barrel quality is poor, and the process level is low. In the case of excessive use for a short period of time, the barrel and guard are prone to softening and deformation, which leads to a serious decrease in the accuracy of the gun. In addition, the sight is too high to expose the head, the sight is not metal connected to the barrel, and its front end is connected to the guard. If the guard, the receiver-shaped sight will lose its function. Moreover, the optical sight you used is very delicate, not only delicate but also expensive. After we tested that the sunlight will interfere with the aiming system. In addition, the barrel and guard are prone to burns when overheated. If the handle is held by the right hand, the left hand cannot be too backward or too forward. It is best not to touch the guard, which is very inconvenient. In addition, there are problems such as the butt stock not being strong and easy to damage." Duo Yingxian said singly next to him.
Xu Xianqin smiled and said, "After saying this, there are many problems with this gun." He looked at the 36 in his hand and said, "It seems that there has not changed much?"
Lin Qiang-Chengsheng's face was awkward and said, "We have noticed the problem of guardrail, receiver and barrel. The materials of guardrail, receiver, and even all engineering plastics are made of improved polyamide, which is more heat-resistant. There is no problem in using heavy barrels or improved processes to create better barrels. If it is best to introduce Steyr's professional cold forging barrel machine tools, the barrel material craftsmanship will be better.
As for the problem of excessive sight and the impact of accuracy after being heated, it can be solved by installing tactical guides, which is more sturdy. With a low and flat sight line, the optical sight can be removed and the mechanical aiming can be used directly.
Plastic butt stocks are easy to damage, which is inevitable. In the future, the application of firearms will be to reduce weight, and everyone makes the butt stocks into plastic."
He said to Xu Xianqin: "I would rather recommend that soldiers avoid close-knit combat if they have bullets. If they can use bullets, try to kill the other party with bullets!"
Xu Xianqin was happy and said, "You are the theory of winning weapons. Our army's fine tradition of close combat should still be maintained."
Lin Johnson shook his head disapprovingly: "Our army's fighting tactics are suitable for Asian neighbors. These ethnic groups with similar systems as the Chinese, but in fact, when we meet tall foreigners, our soldiers are at a disadvantage. Besides, their fighting skills are not bad."
"Because of this, we should not give up the fine tradition of our army's daring to become famous!" Xu Xianqin said strongly.
Then he asked Lin Johnson, "Is the gun in my hand improved?"
Lin Johnson nodded and said, "Yes, there are several tactical guides and mechanical sights we copied here." He opened another box and took out several gun modifications.
Xu Xianqin noticed that there was no optical scope on the gun in his hand. He took a tactical guide and measured it on the gun, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll know if it's done."
Lin Qiang-Chengsheng simply said: "You can try it. This gun uses a heavy barrel, which improves the material of the plastic guardrail, the receiver, and some internal parts to increase the reliability of the gun. The armed police force has the 5.8 bullet used by this gun, so we can go to the shooting range there to test the gun."
