"Hold the grass! Hold the grass! This TM was indeed a thriller in the front line during the three-year war, and it was very skillful." Marshall immediately felt awe of what Major General Karls said just now! Because, this German major general was right! There is indeed some problem with the air guide setting of the m1 rifle! This is also the reason why the American veteran was unwilling to change the gun after touching the gun for a long time!

If the problem of ammunition capacity can be seen with your eyes, then if some loopholes in the air conduction movement can be found during shooting, it is really talent or accumulating practical combat. In this era, there is indeed a problem with the air conduction design of the m1 semi-automatic rifle, because in history, the gunpowder airflow used by the early m1 Garland rifle was provided through a muzzle hood device, not a vent hole. This problem was not solved in 1939. Although the design was flawed, it did not affect the use, so it has not been changed.

"Overall, this is a weapon with excellent design and manufacture. It doesn't matter if it is used by ordinary troops, but for some troops that undertake special tasks, I feel that weapons should also meet their needs." Karls said after handing the gun to an American soldier next to him.

"Okay." Marshall said. According to the US government's idea, Army weapons naturally have to try to purchase their own country. Tanks and other things are more complicated. The United States will not be able to do well for a while. Will it not even be able to do rifles? However, in fact, after it was created, the American Garland semi-automatic rifle was indeed not as useful as the German m1908. Garland is a classic, but there are still some flaws in some designs, and these flaws directly lead to the user's sense of being a little bad...

The US Army has no choice but to do these problems. After all, as long as people on the battlefield, everyone wants the guys in their hands to be more perfect. For ordinary infantry, the real key and elite elites of the nature of the assault troops should indeed be equipped with some weapons they want to use. So, not long after, the US Army added an order for 20,000 German m1908 semi-automatic rifles. Of course, the ammunition used must be compatible with American ammunition.

Just after Major General Carls and Major General Marshall ended the argument about the semi-automatic rifle, the two saw a US officer arguing with Earl Caripot in the distance.

"I really want to know what this rifle with an empty gun weighing more than 7 kilograms looks like in your country's firepower positioning?" General Kariput asked. To be honest, this automatic rifle or light machine gun, known as Bar, is still very good-looking. If he goes to the Royal Hunting Ground to hunt in the future, he will choose such an automatic rifle. However, if it is on the battlefield, he really doesn't understand the positioning of this weapon.

"In the jungle war or landing war we were engaged in, we found that infantry lacked an assault automatic weapon that can accompany them to advance. Your country's mg series machine guns are indeed easy to use. They use magazines or drums to supply bullets, and can obtain continuous firepower by quickly changing the barrel. However, the weight is a bit large. For example, the current mg ​​machine gun has an empty weight of nearly 12 kilograms. Coupled with the heavy drums, it is difficult for our soldiers to shoot with their shoulders or waist while they are moving. If we need to exert the firepower of the mg machine gun, we must find a flat place and then unfold it. The main shooter opens the bracket, and the deputy shooter is responsible for flattening the chain to ensure the smoothness of the firepower. It is very troublesome and easy to miss the opportunity."

Major Garland explained, yes, just as Carls and Marshall were just evaluating the rifle he designed, this guy was chatting with Caripot. He wanted to go there, but he was called by a German army general before. He couldn't leave, right?

"I feel that this requirement is vaguely familiar." Kariput said, touching his chin. Wait, why does this feel a little closer to the French Shaosha in use? The General seems to understand a little.

"How effective is it?" Kariput asked.

"It feels pretty good, the soldiers have reliable medium-range and medium-range combat weapons," said Major Garland. At least there are more than the Frenchman's Shaoshaqiang.

"How to say it, I personally feel that this fully automatic rifle is a very good folk collectible. It has an elegant appearance and a good center of gravity. It is good for shooting, hunting or target shooting. But if it is not good on the battlefield, especially not suitable for fierce confrontation." General Kariput said. "If the Garland rifle you shoot can score 80 points, this weapon can score up to 65 points."

"But the soldiers feel that they are using it very well." At this moment, John Browning, the designer of this weapon, spoke. He did not lie. At least before, in the "Evaluation of Veteran Weapons" event held by the US Army, the evaluation of this bar machine gun was much higher than that of Garland. Why do the Germans say that Garland's design is better than his bar?

"That's right, Mr. Garland's design at least allowed the m1 semi-automatic rifle to perfect his positioning, that is, as a good semi-automatic rifle. But what about this bar? What is its positioning? In the German army infantry system, even if there is a semi-automatic rifle, the fire support of the infantry squad platoon is still a machine gun, which requires the machine gun to have a high firing rate and a large ammunition capacity. But I haven't seen it in your army, and even in the first level of the company, I can only see that the Browning water-cooled machine gun in the heavy weapon platoon can be worthy of the two words of pillars." Kariput said seriously.

This is the issue of combat philosophy. The Germans were considering how to gain an advantage in large-scale army combat, so they had high requirements for weapons firepower. Moreover, because the supply on the European battlefield was smoother, there was no need to worry about ammunition replenishment, and the machine gun fire rate could be increased. But the Americans' idea also makes sense. After all, this time the US military was fighting on the Pacific islands thousands of miles away, and the US military was the attacking side, especially in jungle warfare environments, the mobility of infantry is very important.

Compared with his firepower, the weight of the 12kg empty gun is already very good. However, for American soldiers, the weight is still relatively large. Moreover, the Americans think that there will be no long-term machine gun shooting or suppression in jungle combat. After all, the jungle warfare has a very close distance, and the faster response and more agile bar will be better. It is not right to say that the Americans choose bars at all.
