Chapter 200: Team weapons are gun-based, and individual weapons are assault weapons (3k)
This time the leader of the National Defense Working Committee reacted: "Comrade Zhendong, you mean to design several blood-related weapons. Gun?”
Gao Zhendong nodded: “Yes, in the current generation of firearms, we only realize the common ammunition for squad weapons. Semi-automatic, submachine guns, and squad machine guns all use the same ammunition, but I I thought, this is not enough, we might as well go a little further.”
In addition to the universal ammunition, this generation of squad weapons does not even have universal ammunition supplies.
10-round magazine for SKS, 5-round bridge clip for ammunition.
A 30-round magazine for AK-47.
The RPD light machine gun uses a 100-round ammunition chain. What looks like a drum hangs below it. It is actually a round iron box used to hold the ammunition chain. It is called a bullet. The chain box has nothing to do with the drum.
Gao Zhendong continued to talk about his thoughts on gun familyization: "My idea is to incorporate squad light machine guns and automatic rifles into one gun family for design, and they share most parts or components, such as Bolt mechanism, automatic device, firing assembly, ammunition supply assembly, etc.”
Everyone thought about it carefully and felt that there was a way.
“This is a good idea, so that on the battlefield, the battle-damaged guns can be quickly combined and repaired to create a batch of usable weapons.”
"Not only on the battlefield, maintenance is also beneficial in peacetime."
"Not only maintenance, but production is also beneficial. The more common parts, the lower the production cost."
"But in this case, wouldn't there be no difference between a rifle and a squad light machine gun? Then why would a squad use a light machine gun?"
When Gao Zhendong heard this, he explained with a smile: "This comrade Good question. The squad light machine gun can be replaced with a heavy-duty long barrel to obtain better ballistic performance and a greater effective range than a rifle."
" At the same time, due to the relatively loose weight restrictions of squad machine guns, there will be greater redundancy in the design. In this way, combined with the better heat dissipation ability of the heavy barrel, its rate of fire limit and firepower sustainability are much better than that of a rifle. .”
When everyone heard this, they thought, eh, yes, these are the reasons why squad light machine guns are stronger than automatic rifles.
"Director Gao is right. A heavy barrel can solve 80% of the problems of squad machine guns."
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "If we use this barrel It is connected to the handle to make it quick-detachable, and at the same time, the ammunition supply and ammunition are universal among gun families."
When it comes to the universal ammunition supply, we have to mention the famous idea of Little Devil: the hopper supplies ammunition, and you can shoot while shooting. It’s a crooked machine gun that greases bullets. To say that their idea is indeed good, it’s just this method of implementation, which is a bit biased.
So in terms of broad-mindedness, except for a few people, little devils may not be really broad-minded, but in terms of broad-mindedness, they really can't even compare to the Citizen guys.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Gao Zhendong's words. These words are reliable.
This can ensure the firepower output of the light machine gun to the greatest extent, and also simplifies logistics. In an emergency, ready-made ammunition can be used directly without reloading the ammunition supply.
This is very useful on a battlefield where every second counts.
As for the dual-circuit supply of ammunition by machine gun belts and magazines, Gao Zhendong did not mention it. That is a matter of general-purpose machine guns. The mechanism is too complicated, and the cost of weight, maintainability, etc. is too high. It is easy to take too big steps. What are you pulling on?
Gao Zhendong’s final words hid his true thoughts: “In this gun family, one assault rifle is responsible for the assault, and one squad machine gun is responsible for the squad support firepower. In this way, the squad’s firepower The combination is more complete.”
Assault rifle!
This is what Gao Zhendong wants to say, what kind of gun is suitable for assault? Of course, it is a gun with strong firepower, easy to carry, and conducive to the deployment of combat actions. It is too long, and single shot or semi-automatic are not suitable. , the firepower is weak and unable to attack.
When the user representative heard this, he felt that it was so right. Director Gao was worthy of being a person who came down from the battlefield: "Assault rifle? Squad machine gun? Okay, this is a good name."
This name gives off an iron-blooded flavor as soon as it is heard. Compared to a straightforward name like an automatic rifle, the words "assault rifle" are undoubtedly more to their liking.
No matter what the gun is made of, we have to decide on the name "assault rifle"!
Everyone started a heated discussion around Gao Zhendong's ideas.
“This is a very good idea. It can systematically solve the problem of team weapons and make them universal to the greatest extent. It can effectively reduce production costs, improve logistics and maintenance performance, and also improve combat efficiency.”
"But this means that a lot of our previous work has been in vain."
"This matter has changed too much, and it is estimated that this meeting will not be able to decide, but this technical route is very good, and we must write it down. .""."
The users are also in a tangle. The original idea of "step and rush into one" cannot be changed at this meeting, but Comrade Gao Zhendong's suggestion sounds very reasonable and very tempting.
They discussed it for a long time and exchanged opinions with the leaders of the National Defense Work Committee.
The leader of the National Defense Working Committee listened to the opinions of the users, nodded, raised his hand, and temporarily stopped everyone's discussion.
Then he began to make a concluding speech: "Comrades, today's meeting is a mixed blessing. The good news is that the principle design of our new gun plan has been fully affirmed by the experts participating in the meeting."
This is really not a whitewash. The experts attending the meeting expressed their full affirmation of the short-stroke piston automatic device. After all, everyone knows the problems of the AK-47.
"As for this worry, it is actually a blessing. The various opinions on the original requirements for the tactical performance of firearms put forward at the meeting show that our researchers and relevant experts have thought more about our infantry light weapons. It is a good thing to have various ideas and suggestions.”
“In particular, Comrade Gao Zhendong’s idea of conforming team weapons into gun-based weapons and individual soldiers into assault weapons has opened up a new path for us. A new idea. This idea does not meet our current requirements, and it is difficult to make a conclusion without in-depth research, but as a direction that can be studied in advance, it is no problem. "
Leadership is leadership. , speaking and talking, putting theory first, summarizing things clearly.
Seeing that everyone was lost in thinking, the leader smiled and said: "I suggest that what has been agreed upon now be formed into meeting opinions. For new content that makes sense but cannot be determined at the moment, record it. Come down, form a report, and submit it to the relevant departments for study before making a decision.”
Everyone thinks that this is also a way. If the meeting is held, there cannot be no results at all. And what Gao Zhendong proposed was very tempting.
Then simply decide what can be determined first, and leave the issues of team weapons and gun-based weapons and individual assault weapons to those who should consider it.
After the meeting, the user representatives and the leaders of the National Defense Working Committee found Gao Zhendong. The leader of the National Defense Working Committee smiled and said: "Zhendong, you did a good job. Where you are good at, you have to be brave enough to express yourself. The truth becomes clearer with more arguments.”
The user representative also expressed his gratitude: “Director Gao, your ideas have given us a lot of inspiration. What will happen to this generation of small arms in the end? We can’t make a conclusion now, but we will give your suggestions truthfully and consider them seriously. We also hope that you will give us more advice in similar work.”
Gao Zhendong smiled and said a few words modestly. , but the leader of the National Defense Working Committee smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. He is a comrade who has ideas and dares to express his thoughts. He proposed the idea of increasing protection and firepower of armored personnel carriers, and even the concept of infantry fighting vehicles. ”
The user representative was in awe. No wonder the National Defense Work Committee wanted to invite him. It turned out that in addition to his professional skills, he really thought deeply about weapons and equipment.
Although they were not in charge of the armored personnel carriers, they were still dissatisfied with the small 7.62 water pipes originally designed for the armored personnel carriers, which was not suitable for a war.
It turned out to be this person who asked for replacement, not to mention the request for enhanced protection. People who have led soldiers and fought in wars have a comprehensive view on combat.
As for the infantry fighting vehicle, needless to say, it is really cool!
Although the research has not been successful yet, looking at the combat skill indicators, it is simply that I am invincible under the tank, and I am invincible above the tank. However, this one-for-one replacement will have to wait until anti-tank missiles are available.
That is to say, they don't know that the 592 armor steel used in infantry fighting vehicles and armored vehicles is also made by Gao Zhendong, otherwise they don't know how surprised they would be.
Thinking of this, the user's representative held Gao Zhendong's hand: "Director Gao, there will be similar meetings in the future. Please be sure to attend more. We really need people like you who understand both technology and tactics to participate in our work. "
Gao Zhendong nodded solemnly: "There is no shirking the responsibility."
Thanks to surfing the Internet in his previous life, there are too many miscellaneous things in his head. Although most of them are shallow but not deep, they will be more important in the future. A concept, when you get it at this time, may be a thunder.
His own professional knowledge cannot allow him to span too many aspects, so it is necessary to participate in more meetings and guide current scientific and technological workers in the right or most appropriate direction. Yes, from this perspective, Gao Zhendong himself also needs these opportunities to participate in meetings.
When the leader of the National Defense Working Committee heard what the user representative said, he laughed in his heart. Needless to say, I have seen this kid’s bones for a long time, and a certificate bound him, hahaha .
Gao Zhendong ended the meeting and returned to the courtyard. This meeting sounds simple, but due to the high degree of design completion and many technical details, the discussion took a lot of time and did not end until the afternoon.
As he was about to enter the yard, someone hurriedly followed him and greeted him: "Director Gao, you are going home after get off work."
Gao Zhendong turned around and saw Qin Huairu. .
She had a hint of joy on her face, which was different from the sad look on her face that Jia Dongxu often had after his death.
