Chapter 199 What steel do you want? I'll solve it! (3k)
The user representative also fell into deep thought. After our firepower has been greatly enhanced, ammunition is basically sufficient, and we are moving towards motorization and mechanization, should the "rifle combat function" be such a priority? To consider?
This matter cannot be decided here, but it does not prevent them from thinking about it carefully and deeply.
In fact, it is not that there are people who hold the same idea as Gao Zhendong, but Gao Zhendong’s position on this matter is relatively aloof, and he blocked the “user requirements” from the beginning. Kouzi, so he expressed it more clearly.
Seeing that everyone was thinking about what he said, Gao Zhendong smiled: "This is my own idea, for reference only."
The leader of the National Defense Working Committee looked at him: "Comrade Zhendong, what does the rifle you envision look like?"
The leader does not say yes or no, you first state your own thoughts, Let everyone refer to it.
Gao Zhendong thought for a moment and said: "That's it. In general, in addition to the combat distance problem of 400 meters just mentioned, the length of this gun should be shorter and can be controlled within the existing The length between submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles is about 800 mm. This allows for a longer barrel as much as possible, and also allows for a longer aiming baseline, which is beneficial to improving ballistic performance and accuracy. However, the carrying length can be further improved. Shorten."
A designer asked: "Director Gao, you mean the folding stock? But the effect of our folding stock submachine gun is not very good."
He. What we are talking about is the folding stock version of our imitation AK-47. That gun does have this problem.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "Yes, I know. I used it when I was training militiamen in the factory. The main reason is that the folding mechanism has been used for a long time, and there will be a loose free movement margin on the rotating shaft. In addition, when the butt of the gun is unfolded, it The axis of the gun body is at a certain angle. The gun is already very powerful when it jumps up, but now it is even more inaccurate.”
Everyone heard this sentence and knew that although he had been away from the battlefield for a long time, it was true. Used that gun.
Gao Zhendong explained the later solution: "In fact, we can use a straight butt and just fold it horizontally to the right front. This way it can be stuck tightly and is easy to hold. For fighting, Stabs are also beneficial."
After finishing speaking, Gao Zhendong walked to the blackboard in the conference room and drew his thoughts with chalk: "Like this, if the position is arranged well, basically the gun will work. The stock can be on the same axis as the barrel, which helps improve accuracy, and it can also be fired when folded, which is beneficial for combat in armored vehicles.”
In Gao Zhendong’s view, this gun is. Just the folding support version is fine, the straight support version is of little significance.
Regardless of whether the designer adopts Gao Zhendong's opinion, he still records his thoughts first. In everyone's opinion, the effect of Gao Zhendong's idea is immediate.
Gao Zhendong continued: "As for firepower, the rate of fire should be basically the same as or slightly higher than that of existing submachine guns. The ammunition capacity is still 30 rounds, and 20 rounds is a bit too little."
Someone asked: "Director Gao, will this be a waste of bullets?"
Gao Zhendong looked at him: "On the battlefield, we are only afraid that there are no bullets in the magazine. It is a waste of bullets or not, It has little to do with the ammunition capacity.”
Everyone was a little silent when he said this. This is the personal experience of a front-line commander who has been on the battlefield.
Gao Zhendong continued: "As for the automatic principle, I agree with the existing solution of short piston stroke, bolt rotation locking, and adding an empty chamber and hook device. This solution is useful for improving accuracy and combat effectiveness."
< br>Seeing that Gao Zhendong had no objection to the core principle, the designers couldn't help but feel a little happy. Look, he still recognized the core principle, so it was not in vain.
Gao Zhendong added: "However, I personally hope that the ammunition supply is compatible with the existing submachine gun ammunition supply. I know that the existing magazine cannot support the empty magazine hang-up function. But I hope that the existing magazine It can still be used on this gun, but in this case only the idle function is disabled, but it does not affect the use of the weapon."
The user representative agreed with this suggestion: "Well, that's right. Yes, Director Gao’s idea is good. In this way, the existing ammunition supply will not be eliminated, and a lot of money can be saved.”
This is not a major change in the technical route, and the designers are very careful. I carefully wrote down this requirement and prepared to put it into detailed design in the next step.
Then Gao Zhendong pointed to the spear thorn on the design: "This multi-edged spear thorn has a single function. I personally feel it is a bit wasteful. To put it bluntly, it is so long and heavy that it is difficult to even open a can. It is recommended to change it to a can." It can be disassembled and made into a multi-functional bayonet with more functions, such as stabbing, sawing, cutting, sharpening, and even cutting barbed wire. This can greatly facilitate the daily use of soldiers. "
Speaking of this, The designer had something to say: "Director Gao, you don't know. The performance of our steel is not up to par now. It is made like this because of the structural strength."
This statement Gao Zhendong I had heard of it on the Internet in my previous life, and it was considered one of the topics that often caused controversy in military forums.
In Gao Zhendong's personal opinion, the shorter "flat spines" of the original version changed into longer "prismatic spines" during the imitation process. The reasons should be multifaceted, including material issues and tactics. A matter of thought. But here, Gao Zhendong is ready to help them solve at least one problem.
He laughed: "Haha, this is easy, comrade. I dare not say anything about the special steel, but what kind of performance do you need for the steel on the gun? Just tell me and I will solve it for you! This promise of mine includes the entire gun. The steel needed is not just bayonets.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked except for a few people such as the leaders of the National Defense Work Committee.
Director Gao, you have such a strong tone. You dare to ask people to order special steel?
Half of the reason why Gao Zhendong took the initiative to bring up this matter was because he really wanted to help them get the materials for the gun. At this time, he still felt more or less confident.
The other half is that through this incident, I want to be able to frequently contact and influence the designers of this gun, and advance the release time of the gun 20 years later to this era.
You must know that in 20 years, except for some minor problems, that gun will be good enough. If it is released earlier than this era, it can be guaranteed that there will be no problems with individual firearms for at least 20 years.
As for the small-caliber matter, Gao Zhendong has not considered it for the time being. Without him, there are too many 7.62mm bullets. The number of 7.62*39 bullets and the output of long-handled grenades should be the most popular among military fans forever. It’s a riddle that can’t be guessed.
The prototypes of all the opinions and suggestions Gao Zhendong mentioned earlier came from that gun.
Another point is that, except for the possible problems with the materials, all the technologies of that gun are not difficult in this era. This makes the conditions for the early release of this gun. Very mature.
This is a medal for the designers of that gun. They used the technology of 20 years ago to make a good gun that was considered excellent even in the 1980s.
You can't tell whether a gun is good or not. Gao Zhendong remembers that when John Bull's infamous L85 gun family was first born, he blew it so much that it ended up becoming a famous joke: the rifle can only fire continuously and the machine gun can only fire single fire. Later, HK company spent a lot of effort and could only modify the product to a basically usable level.
However, this can be regarded as an embarrassment that in the 1980s, our related technologies were not developed very much.
Speaking of which, there might be some problem with the materials. It was a coincidence. Gao Zhendong happened to do this as a side job, so he took over the matter.
After hearing what Gao Zhendong said, the firearms designers were all stunned. They were a little surprised, but mostly in disbelief: "Director Gao, is what you said true? Can you still do this? "
Only the leader of the National Defense Work Committee was overjoyed. He wanted this effect. He knew Gao Zhendong's ability in metal materials and believed in it.
It's just that ordering new types of special steel is too unbelievable at the moment. Gao Zhendong doesn't talk about it himself, and it's hard for him to mention it. This is a bit too difficult for comrades engaged in research.
Gao Zhendong took the initiative to take the job, which was an unexpected surprise even for the leader of the National Defense Work Committee, who Gao Zhendong already knew well enough.
Even if no resolution can be formed in today's meeting, Gao Zhendong's words are already a huge gain.
I would be a fool if I didn’t finalize the matter immediately. The leader of the National Defense Work Committee quickly said: "Comrades, Comrade Gao Zhendong's workplace is a steel company in the capital. He personally works in metal materials. He has also made considerable achievements in this regard. Since he has said this, you should do a good job of research when you go back, study the various needs for steel in a down-to-earth manner and submit them to him. Maybe Comrade Zhendong can solve it for you. "
Although the leader still used the word "maybe" for Gao Zhendong's sake, he knew Gao Zhendong's style very well, but he felt that this matter should be inseparable.
The firearms designer nodded quickly: "That's great. This material problem has been bothering us for a long time, and even because of this, we had to change and compromise some indicators. With your words, we will be ready to learn from you later. "
Gao Zhendong nodded: "Well, no problem, you are ready to come to me at any time."
After saying that, he turned to face everyone: "The next one is mine. The last suggestion is to convert this gun into a clan!”
After saying this, everyone didn’t understand, what clan? What?
The user representative asked: "Director Gao, we really don't understand your suggestion. Can you be more specific?"
Gao Zhendong nodded: "The gun is a clan, the gun is the gun of the gun, and the clan is the clan of the family."
