Chapter 198 Is this gun specially used to fight a bayonet? (3k)
After listening to the designer’s plan report, Gao Zhendong fell into deep thought.
In fact, in principle, the blood relationship between this rifle and the later "transitional change", the gun that shined in the self-defense counterattack, is closer to SKS and its imitation models. Not with AK-47 and its imitation models as some people think.
Especially the most important automatic mode. As expected, the gun’s design uses a short-stroke piston gas-guided principle similar to SKS, while the AK-47 uses a long-stroke piston gas guide. Stroke piston air-guided principle.
However, the locking method of this gun and the subsequent self-defense counterattack gun is the same as that of the AK-47. The bolt rotation locking is not the bolt offset locking of the SKS.
It should be said that as far as Gao Zhendong's own understanding of firearms is concerned, there is no problem with the options of automatic, locking, and firing. The biggest problem with this gun is not in this aspect.
After all, during the early trial, because the manufacturing process was good, the accuracy was really good, and there were no major problems with the quality, maintenance, and service of the gun. Although there were some flaws, they were not visible at this time. It’s out because not all of it has been out yet.
It is impossible for Gao Zhendong to use something that has not been designed by others to output in the air. It is not an anti-aircraft gun, but an anti-aircraft gun.
As far as Gao Zhendong knows, this thing highlights the performance of a "rifle", that is, it mainly focuses on single shots but also takes into account continuous shots, is conducive to stabbing, and has good accuracy requirements. The designers did not come up with it themselves. of.
It is the request of the user!
According to the assumption, the positioning of this gun is mainly "rifle combat function", and the AK-47 imitation model positioned as an assault rifle will be replaced by it, or it will be used as an auxiliary, which is very difficult.
As for this user, it is obvious that it cannot be covered or truly represented by just a few representatives on site.
In this situation, it was difficult to do anything effective at this meeting, but Gao Zhendong decided to say everything he wanted to say, otherwise, he would not be able to pass the test in his heart.
More than 2 million, this number is enough for a small country to fight a war for more than ten years.
This is such a serious waste!
Although the main reason is not the design, the design is also to blame. If we can move closer to the ideal direction from the beginning, optimize the best process, and quickly form a certain scale, maybe the situation will be much better.
At least after the production problem is solved, it can be built by taking out the drawings, instead of having to design a new one to make the transition.
There are some differences between messing around and messing around even though you know you are messing around.
Seeing that as the meeting progressed, it was time for him to speak, Gao Zhendong gathered his thoughts and spoke.
He smiled and said to the designer: "Comrade, how come I feel that with this gun of yours, you are preparing our soldiers to fight with bayonets. Fighting with bayonets is our fine tradition, but it is not ours. The main tactics.”
The designer was about to explain: "Director Gao, this is a use."
Gao Zhendong raised his hand and interrupted him. He just wanted to maintain this state of "I don't know the reason." Otherwise, it would be difficult to say some things.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't rush. I'm just telling you my thoughts. It may be immature, but you wait until I finish speaking."
The designer had to stop Answering questions and listening to Gao Zhendong speak, this is the "right to speak", and sometimes it is really useful.
Still keeping a smile on his face, Gao Zhendong said: "Let me first talk about my views on the battlefield environment. After all, I have actually been on the battlefield, killed many enemies with my own hands, and also commanded my comrades to complete the task. Quite a few tasks.”
It was rare for Gao Zhendong to reveal that he had been on the battlefield and had rich front-line combat experience.
This is not the time to be humble. The richer and taller his identity and image are, the more likely others will listen to his words, at least not in one ear and out the other, but in their heads. A few laps.
As soon as these words came out, some people in the venue who did not know the details of Gao Zhendong immediately sat upright and paid more attention to it. Upon hearing these words, they knew that he was an expert! Isn’t this a technical expert? It sounds more like a user representative.
The leader of the National Defense Working Committee also looked serious because of Gao Zhendong's different style from usual. It seemed that Comrade Gao Zhendong wanted to express some strong suggestions.
“From experience, the combat distance between us and enemy infantry is basically within 400 meters. At longer distances, we cannot see clearly and cannot shoot accurately. For ordinary infantry, the range is more than 400 meters. Effective range and accuracy guarantees are actually meaningless, except for a few of the best in cold-blooded enemy activities.”
For example, Mr. Zhang is an immortal who can shoot from the waist with iron sights without missing a beat. Anyone who has been on the battlefield or has relatively rich shooting experience will nod at this and will not deny this.
“With the development of our country, the progress of society, and the leap forward in science and technology, bayonets are no longer our main method of warfare. We cannot and will not abandon this excellent weapon. Tradition, but in order to kill the enemy better, we need more powerful and concentrated firepower.”
This sentence is full of hats, which makes it difficult to refute for a while, because if you refute it casually, it will. I found that this sentence was full of pitfalls, so Gao Zhendong could finish speaking and express what he meant.
“In battle, we still hope to be able to pour out more bullets in a short time and hit the enemy while ensuring the range and accuracy. Especially in trench warfare, tunnel warfare, hand-to-hand combat, etc. case.”
"You know, on the battlefield, a machine gun can suppress our squad so much that we can't hold our heads up, because we can only fire one round with one finger. Even with the captured 'big eight grains', it is difficult to fight with Machine gun competition. "
"Big Eight Grain" is Citigroup's M1 Garand, an 8-round semi-automatic rifle with leaky clips.
“At this time, submachine guns are more useful, because in terms of firing rate, submachine guns are not weaker than machine guns. Unfortunately, the range of submachine guns at that time was too short, about 100 meters, which was often enough No. Without being able to suppress the opponent's firepower, we may have to pay a lot of blood for a machine gun on the opposite side."
Everyone present was silenced by Gao Zhendong's immersive description. , that war has been going on for several years, and not many people present have experienced it personally, so when I heard Gao Zhendong talk about it, I felt it made sense despite admiration.
Gao Zhendong’s map of the Yan Kingdom was not long, and he quickly saw the map: “In my opinion, the weapons in the hands of ordinary infantry should be moderately powerful, with effective range and accuracy guaranteed to be within 400 meters. It is usable inside, can be switched between continuous fire and single shot, is a weapon of moderate length and weight, and is designed to be tilted towards continuous fire.”
At this time, someone raised a question: "Then the firepower four hundred meters away is not guaranteed?"
Gao Zhendong said: "Four hundred meters away, it should be the company and platoon supporting the firepower. Range, individual weapons, beyond this range the effectiveness is already very low. After all, the performance of the gun is determined by the bullet to a certain extent. The 7.62*39 intermediate power bullet we use has this performance, and the ballistic performance exceeds this range. There is no guarantee.”
“And if you want to use the existing 7.62*54R full-power ammunition, the recoil of continuous firing is too much for an individual soldier, and it is impossible to shoot accurately, and the gun is also heavy. This is also the reason why the North wants to replace the latter with the former in individual weapons.”
“If the performance within 400 meters is only guaranteed, the benefits of ballistic performance brought by the ultra-long barrel are not necessary. "
As soon as such a long sentence came out, the person who asked the question also fell into deep thought, which seemed to make sense.
Gao Zhendong did not stop talking: "So when we talk about this gun, my first feeling is that the gun is too long, which is not conducive to use in armored vehicles. This is not conducive to our shift to motorization, mechanization, and armoring. Work."
Gao Zhendong did not talk about the bayonet fight, but changed the subject to the inconvenience of use in the car, so that it would not conflict with the "bayonet fight" requirement.
You must know that this gun is similar to the SKS. The folded spur is more than 1 meter long, and the opened spur is more than 1.3 meters long.
When the leader of the National Defense Work Committee heard this, he said, yes, this gun is in the armored vehicle, and it seems that there are some that cannot be used.
The user's representative also remembered this matter. The length of the gun plan, as soon as he thought about it, he knew that it would not be able to be used in an armored vehicle.
Gao Zhendong added a little mischievously: "You may not feel what it feels like to be 1.3 meters tall. Let me give you an example. This gun is longer than the little devil's 38-meter cap when it is opened!"
< br>As soon as these words were said, some old comrades were disgusted. The 38-year-old cover was indeed a weapon that we took from the enemy and used it against the enemy. It played an important role in the struggle against the enemy and was even beneficial to the fight against the enemy. bayonet.
But the length is really difficult to describe in daily use. In fact, the Mosin Nagant is not short, but in S2, it is still a little shorter than the 38-inch cover.
“When we had no choice but to fight with bayonets, maybe length was an advantage, but now the environment has changed. Such a long gun is not so convenient to carry or fight.”< br>
Someone raised an opinion: "Director Gao, what do you mean, you don't want to fight with the bayonet?"
Gao Zhendong couldn't just follow these words: "We have to fight, but we put a higher priority on more effective ways to kill the enemy."
When the leader of the Defense Working Committee heard Gao Zhendong's words, I laughed secretly in my heart, "Slippery". If I couldn't answer the question randomly, I also knew how to say it in a way that would not be criticized.
If you are against bayonets, it is definitely wrong. If you are against more effective methods of killing the enemy, then it is definitely wrong.
The more the leaders of the Defense Working Committee listened to Gao Zhendong's words, the more they felt that there was really something wrong with the starting point of this gun. Although they were not sure, Gao Zhendong's words were at least not unreasonable and worth pondering.
