Chapter 3549: Extra Story: Huanglong Treasure
At this time, Kong Tianshu was holding a gun much shorter than a normal rifle in his hand and shooting at the target.
This gun is obviously an experimental weapon. It has not been treated with black phosphating, but maintains the surface of the steel that has been polished and shining.
Its full gun length is nearly one foot shorter than that of a normal rifle, and the machine parts operate smoothly. When each bullet is fired, the gun mechanism parts make a crisp "click" sound.
Kong Tianshu obviously designed and built this gun by himself, so when he used it, his aiming and shooting was particularly smooth.
Moreover, he did not feel sorry for the shooting components at all, and he was doing his best to operate them.
So the gun was fired at a very fast speed in his hand, and he quickly shot out the five bullets in the chamber.
At this time, a whistle sounded from the shooting range, and the reporter from behind the soil slope picked up the signal flag and waved it to report the number.
100 meters away, the gun was shot forty rings.
After he finished this round of shooting, there were sparse applause on the field. Wei Kaiyang and others were all celebrating Kong Tianshu with applause.
At this time, Zhao Jinding noticed that in addition to the more than 20 firearm research and development personnel surrounding them under the straw shed, there were also a long row of long and short rifles on the table, with about seven or eight.
These guns have different shapes, each one is completely different. It is obviously developed by the Tongzhou military department for different combat purposes.
Zhao Jinding saw at a glance that there was a gun's barrel at the front end, and there was an iron pipe as thick as a cucumber. I don't know what it was used for.
Knowing that they were busy with their business, Zhao Jinding didn't dare to disturb others with private matters.
Just walked quietly into the shade under the straw shed and watched them test fire various rifles.
At this time, Tang Tianji had arguing with Kong Tianshu in two words.
… “The progress of developing a pointed bullet is not enough to rely solely on enhancing the excitation damping of the base fire.”
Tang Tianji frowned and shouted loudly: "Our basic rifle contains seven-round rifle bullets, and they use a tubular bullet casing, with one round connected to the head and tail.
The tip of each bullet is pressed against the base fire of the previous shot.”
"When using a tubular bullet chamber to supply bullets, the pressure of the spring and the resistance of the bullets change slightly, and the tip of the bullets behind will stimulate the front one... and then a row of bullets will form a chain reaction in the bullet pipe!"
"Just by thickening the bottom fire copper plate, in addition to adding burden to the machine, the improvement of safety is really limited."
"In my opinion, the section of the bullet tube is still made into an oval shape and find a way to get the tip of the bullet away from the previous fire, so as to ensure maximum safety."
"You must know that on the battlefield, even if one fires out of a thousand bullets, it will be a disaster!"
"I've tried this method," he heard Tang Tianji's words and saw Kong Tianshu saying coldly: "Your bullshit oval bullet cell, if you get a little bit of mud and dust, you can't supply bullets.
Because the bullet is in the bullet tube, it will be subjected to friction in several directions."
"Once a dust encounters during the battle, it will cause bullets to be insufficient.
I tell you Fatty Tang, that's not a one-thousandth chance. In the ten guns during wartime, there may be six guns that cannot be fired!"
"...I'll just come up with bad ideas!"
Kong Tianshu's words were so vivid that it made Tang Tianji speechless! "Then what is your short gun for?"
Tang Tianji thought about it and asked, "Just cut off the barrel and the supply tube to reduce the spring resistance and mechanical resistance?"
"I'm a carriage developed for the cavalry!"
Kong Tianshu immediately replied: "When riding on a horse and carrying it, the entire gun will be shortened by 30 centimeters, so the gun body will not repeatedly hit the horse's back and the human body."
"In addition, the weight of this gun is only four pounds and one liang, which is more than one third lighter than the benchmark Wumu First-type rifle!"
"It can shoot bullets into a five-centimeter-diameter ring within one hundred meters, which is very suitable for cavalry units in both accuracy and carrying."
"And it can also be used in naval forces, it has rapid firepower during platoon combat and is convenient to turn in narrow cabins."
"As for the phenomenon that the tubular bullet cartridge you mentioned is prone to accidentally touching enemy fire, that is the fundamental problem in the design of this gun.
If you want to change, it will be a big problem. You'd better give some constructive suggestions."
After all, they are brothers of the same school. At the end of the day, Kong Tianshu's tone still gave Tang Tianji some face.
However, the fat man knew that his previous suggestion of placing bullets in an oval sectional bullet case was not available at all, so he still sucked his teeth and shook his head.
Zhao Jinding heard what they said clearly next to him. To be honest, this kind of fire broke out before in the army.
When a gun is supplied with bullets, once the bullet in the ammunition tube is accidentally triggered, it will form a chain reaction.
Although the warheads are arranged forward, it is also very dangerous.
However, later, when the military industry department was producing bullets, it replaced it with a hollow warhead with a hollow front end of the warhead, and no similar accidents have occurred since then.
However, these two weapon design experts said that it is obvious that the warhead with a sharp front end is of great benefit to the accuracy and range of long-range shooting.
However, such a good bullet cannot be used on a rifle due to the design of the bullet tube! This dilemma made Zhao Jinding feel itchy.
He thought that if the military department solved this problem, it would be great!... Then the people in the straw hut began to test the rifles on the table one after another.
Zhao Jinding looked quietly beside him. Almost all of these guns have one common feature, that is, their ammunition supply method and the design principles in the receiver are all derived from Wumu Type 2 and Type 3 rifles.
Some of these rifles use bullets with very thin bullets, and the caliber of the barrel is obviously much smaller than that of ordinary rifles.
The sounds made by these rifles when firing are crisp and loud, and the bullets are more accurate and shoot farther.
However, Zhao Jinding also knew in his heart that the caliber of the rifle was related to the level of the overall military industry in Tongzhou.
If the barrel is made in fine detail, the rifle can certainly be fired more accurately, and the soldiers can also carry more bullets.
However, the processing cost of each gun is not doubled! In addition, the rifles they tested also have accurate shooting types with extended barrels.
When Kong Tianshu picked up the front of the barrel, he carried a large tube rifle and started shooting.
