Chapter 74 Let the bullets fly
After seeing both leaders trying, Commander Bai finally couldn't help it and directly snatched the gun from Chief Jiang's hand, fiddling with it in love, "Chief, please rest, I'll do it."
Chief Jiang was not bothered, and there was no soldier who didn't like guns, so he could understand, but his eyes looked at other boxes.
Director Yang immediately understood, but he didn't dare to wait for a long time. He directly directed Deputy Director Li and others to line up the boxes and leaked out the firearms, accessories, and ammunition inside.
These firearms are obviously simple to install. There will be several firearms in a box, and tactical accessories are also placed separately in additional boxes. The same is true for bullets and grenades.
"The two leaders can all be used for testing. The chief designer of our factory's guns said that the caliber of these guns is 7.62 for the time being. Because there are no small-caliber bullets for the time being and cannot be tested, they only made five sets."
"Why do you need to make small-diameter modules? Does this have any special meaning?" Chief Chen asked curiously.
"Our factory chief designer said that small-caliber bullets can reduce logistical burden, and small-caliber ballistics are inherently unstable. After being shot into the human body, warheads will roll, forming a cavity."
"Try it first at 7.62. We really haven't considered these. Let's talk about them later." Chief Jiang said, then patted Commander Bai on the shoulder and signaled him to gather the troops.
Now, Captain Bai didn't care about trying the gun again and shouted directly: "Everyone has it! Gather!"
This time, all of them were well-trained soldiers. After hearing the assembly instructions, everyone quickly came to the three leaders, gathered together, arranged in a square array, and lined up neatly.
"Distribute the firearms quickly!" Director Yang was not idle either and directed the steel rolling mill to work hard.
Then, the two leaders were not idle and asked Director Yang to guide himself in changing the modules and began to test different forms of gun replacement.
They each disassembled and assembled the guns according to Director Yang's instructions, and replaced them with the machine gun module to start the test.
The two tested very carefully, from single-shot shooting to automatic shooting, from sniper mode to machine gun mode, and even the centipede guide rails did not fall down, and they all took turns to test them.
A simple test was done once, and it was half an hour later.
During the use, everyone felt that the gun was comfortable to use, the weight was lighter than the AK, the recoil was smaller than that of the AK, and the grip was comfortable to hold, the bolt was relatively smooth, and there was no jam so far.
In fact, this is all designed based on ergonomics. This alone is enough to make people feel comfortable. It is no exaggeration to say that with the retractable butt stock, it is tailor-made for everyone.
Due to insufficient guns, the soldiers who got the gun were addicted. The soldiers behind them pressed bullets into the magazine while looking at the comrades who were shooting the gun with itch! But the order was the order, and they could only watch it, jealous, but there was no way.
The two leaders were obviously very satisfied with the gun, but they also understood what it means to change the gun, and they were changing from start to finish. They could only ensure that the rolling mill had the ability to mass production, and then held a meeting to discuss and resolve the problem.
When the two leaders were about to prepare to talk to He Ku, Director Yang stammered: "I'm on vacation today..."
The two leaders gathered the soldiers without saying a word and prepared to go and find something.
At the Siheyuan, He Qiu was so angry that he learned about He Yushui's experience. He didn't know what the section chief had a brain, and the staff couldn't ride a bicycle.
As soon as he drove out in the red flag car, He Ku was stopped by two teams of soldiers. Then he saw Director Yang bringing the two leaders and Commander Bai over.
To put it simply, the two leaders were also very annoyed. No matter how good the soldiers were, they would be killed by tears when they did such a thing, let alone small section chiefs. What qualifications are he qualified to act like a blessing?
Chief Chen immediately ordered that Commander Bai take a platoon, that is, more than 30 people, go thoroughly to investigate the matter. Once it is true, it will be dealt with on the spot.
Chief Jiang also immediately stated that the new guns here just came out, and someone was planning to approach the chief designer there, which was obviously a ill-gotten plot and had ulterior motives.
For a moment, thirty soldiers received the order, quickly stood on the army card, and headed straight for the textile factory.
When the army arrived, Section Chief Zhang subconsciously felt something was wrong. Until Captain Bai named him, he was even more frightened and trembled. Finally, after providing evidence, testimony, and evidence from multiple parties, some old accounts of that year were all turned out and treated as enemy special forces. Even Zhang Yong did not escape the fate of eating peanuts. For a moment, all the employees of the factory applauded.
In the conference room of the rolling mill, why do you need to introduce the various performance, advantages, ideas, and the design reasons of the new guns to the two leaders. They are still very active in new things. If this bullet shows enough advantages, it is worth changing, so as not to synchronize with the big brother's ammunition, and change the embarrassing situation where you can use mine and I can use you.
When mentioning the 5.56 bullet, He Ku said that the plan has been abolished. The current small-caliber bullet has been changed to 5.8mm caliber. This is also because He Ku recently discovered that the quality of the launching medicine is not very good. If the dose is small, the kinetic energy will be greatly weakened. So he simply used the 5.8mm caliber, which is not much. The endpoint is good, and he can also add more launching medicines.
He Ku took out the 5.8mm bullet idea and said: "The small-caliber design is actually very simple to explain. The smaller the caliber, the lighter the warhead, the smaller the recoil during launch, and the smaller the amount of the weapon's jump, so it is easier to operate and use, and the hit rate will inevitably increase significantly. However, we cannot achieve the 5.56 bullet for the time being. For some reasons, 5.8mm bullet is our best choice now."
"Why? If you follow the question you mentioned, aren't 5.56 caliber bullets smaller than 5.8 mm more convenient to carry and transport? Is it any advantage over 5.56?" Chief Jiang said he was puzzled.
"The launching medicine for 5.56 bullets only requires 1.6 grams, while the launching medicine for the new 5.8mm rifle bullet requires 1.76 grams. The amount of the launching medicine increases, so the initial velocity of the bullet will be higher, the range and the power will be greater. In addition, the power of the 5.8mm bullet is not even worse than 7.62, but the speed is much faster and can hit the target faster." He Ku briefly introduced it.
In fact, if it is not impossible to achieve 5.56, why don’t you want to change it at all. Although this 5.56 bullet will be useless against the bulletproof vest, I’m afraid no one is willing to burn this fund now, and ordinary soldiers don’t have bulletproof vests at all.
You should know that changing the caliber is not the same thing as eating ready-made food, nor is it a trivial matter. The bullet model is different, the thickness is different, and the length may be different. First of all, you must ensure that the bullet can enter the chamber, otherwise it may be stuck directly. Of course, this is not the most important thing.
