Chapter 423: Just get a new type of ammunition
Thinking about the situation when the soldiers were fighting, they would take out a grenade at every turn and shout "Blow it up for me" hundreds of meters away. The troops She was so beautiful that she almost had snot bubbles coming out of her nose.
Although it is a little smaller, when our army was fighting in the difficult times, the concentrating grenade was one of the special tactics. It was very effective and could even prevent the enemy from exchanging fire. The effect of killing and wounding people and running away.
And this one can blow up your head and face from 400 meters away. Compared with grenades, the effect is not even a little bit stronger, and the tactics will be more flexible and changeable.
He turned his head and said to Gao Zhendong and the others: "This thing is good. I personally think it can be tested in small batches."
Professor Luo was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Well, overall there is no problem. The details can still be polished. This is an accessory for the squad gun clan. It has to wait for the gun clan to test it together."
< br>Professor Liu felt a little angry after hearing this. Yin Yang, our gun clan, is slow in doing things, right?
"No need to polish it, this is enough. You give us a head start, hum."
Gao Zhendong smiled, this thing can indeed be sold in small batches extent.
It can not only resist infantry, but also attack enemy fortifications to a certain extent. It only requires slightly higher technical requirements for shooters, but Gao Zhendong believes that this matter will not be difficult for our soldiers.
At the same time, this gun-mounted grenade is also effective against enemy armored vehicles.
Gao Zhendong played an FPS game in his previous life, in which there was a "prince" who lived from World War II to the 21st century. In that game, for the sake of balance, gun-mounted grenades could not penetrate Lao Maozi's BTR. In reality, the BTR armor is nothing compared to the armor penetration depth of 65mm. There is no need to look for weaknesses on the sides and rear. It can be shot from the front in one shot.
The BMP-1 installed by Lao Maozi in 1966 is also famous for its thin skin and large filling. In the face of this gun-mounted grenade, its sturdiness is equally worrying.
Although the aftereffects of gun-mounted grenades are average after penetrating armor, it is enough to be able to penetrate them. It is of little significance to enhance the aftereffects at this stage, and even BMP-1 has not appeared yet.
Gao Zhendong said: "I think the ammunition itself is about the same. If there is no problem with the grenade launcher mounted on the gun, I would suggest that we start with small batches first. The usage habits of this weapon and the existing Firearms are different. Testing in small batches earlier will allow soldiers to start training earlier. ”
"That's okay. When I designed the installation fixture, I specifically designed it to be universal for the semi-automatic rifles currently equipped to ensure that both existing semi-automatic rifles and the squad guns under development by Lao Liu can be mounted."
Professor Luo is quite proud of this. Even if the equipment is really changed, it will take time and process. He has long considered that it can be installed on existing weapons, which solved the contradiction between the urgent need of the troops and the slow change of equipment in one fell swoop.
As for why only semi-automatic but not fully automatic submachine guns were considered, it is because according to the current establishment, there are a large number of semi-automatic in the squad, and their gas guide structure and automatic machine structure are different from those of the squad under development. The gun family is closer, and the space under the gun is larger, making it easier to develop a universal clamp.
Professor Liu heard this and smiled: "Hey, you took the money from the class gun research team, but you are also planning to do it for the people in front of you. You are a good abacus, Lao Luo."
Everyone laughed.
At this time, the army representative suddenly remembered what Professor Luo had promised them: "By the way, Professor Luo, you once said that you would make a gun-mounted shotgun. How is it going now?"
As long as it is He is always thinking about new things.
As soon as he said this, Professor Luo was immediately stuck.
It’s not that this thing is difficult, the main thing is that now he is thinking about what Gao Zhendong told him about the new topic after finishing the gun-mounted grenade.
Before he had time to speak, Gao Zhendong's words came to his rescue.
"A shotgun on a gun? This thing is good, but who usually carries this extra shotgun?"
As soon as he said this, both the army representative and Professor Luo were in trouble.
In terms of function, performance and versatility, a shotgun mounted on a gun is inferior to a grenade mounted on a gun, especially when the squad gun family has fully automated its firepower, fighting in trenches, and using assault rifles to splash water The effect is basically the same as that of shotgun.
Submachine guns and shotguns are equipped with regular troops. They are originally two different solutions to the lack of firepower in trench warfare when Sandoku and Citigroup deal with S1.
At that time, the main weapons equipped were large bolts, not even semi-automatic. The firepower density of the infantry was extremely poor, and it was impossible to carry a machine gun in trench warfare. Let alone the Maximists, even if they were The light machine gun cannot be used in trenches because it is too heavy.
So Santoku went the route of a submachine gun, and Citigroup's solution was a big troll.
Judging from the number and organization of shotguns equipped by regular armies in various countries, after the popularity of automatic weapons, the effect of shotguns was greatly replaced, and their functions overlapped.
However, it is not completely useless. The first shot of this thing is very effective in close combat, and it has some special functions, such as breaking doors, such as indoor combat in street fighting. At this time, there is no The concept of CQB.
But for this relatively niche or low-probability function, it seems a bit wasteful for us to specialize in a weapon.
Another question is what Gao Zhendong asked just now - who usually carries this thing? In terms of versatility, strike range, and firepower intensity, it is much worse than grenades. It is definitely not something that is usually used. So who usually carries this short shotgun?
Pick another warrior to lead in the class? The troop representative thought for a while. Since he already had all the belts with him, wouldn't it be better to bring an extra gun with grenades?
Also, adding ammunition to the gun and adding one or two kilograms of load are just for less commonly used functions. If you think about it carefully, would it be better to replace these loads with grenades mounted on the gun?
This is very embarrassing.
The troop representatives and Professor Luo looked at me and I looked at you. It seemed like this. After thinking about it, this thing has its uses, but if we want to build another equipment just for this purpose, It seems to be a little bit inconsistent.
The army representative hesitated for a moment: "How about"
Or should we stop doing it for the time being? Anyway, there is no special project for this shotgun, so it is easy to turn around.
Gao Zhendong’s next words immediately resolved his tangle.
"How about we get a new type of ammunition for this gun-mounted grenade, which can basically achieve the effect you want."
New type of ammunition? Everyone became excited immediately, including Professor Liu. Everyone was interested in new things.
"What new type of ammunition?" everyone asked in unison.
“Let’s get a shrapnel. The length of the gun-mounted shotgun is enough to hold three or four rounds, and its main function is on the first round. The caliber of this gun-mounted grenade is 35mm, loosely speaking, if turned into a shrapnel, the firepower density of a single shot is comparable to 4 rounds of 12-gauge shotshells, and 35mm can hold more shotshells, so you can deliberately make the shot bigger and shoot it out with one shot. , the effect is better than No. 12. ”
The biggest advantage of a regular military shotgun is the first shot, whether it is in a trench bunker or a CQB in a street battle.
After the first shot, it’s time to splash water with the assault rifle.
As for the method of using a shotgun to break a door, you need to shoot several loose leaves next to the door and shoot several times in a row. In fact, it is not that common. A shotgun is used to break a door and the door lock is broken with one shot, because there are many The door cannot see where the door hinge is.
By the way, a small thing: whether it is a shotgun or a door-breaking hammer, as long as it is not loaded with explosives, it will not be effective against the anti-theft doors that are widely used in China and are locked on four sides and open outwards. It is of no use.
No. 12 shotshell, caliber 18.4mm, this data source is the diameter of one lead ball divided into 12 equal parts of one pound of pure lead.
This was back in those days when it was difficult for John Bull and others to find length standards that were readily available, so the method of using quality standards to convert length standards was very useful at that time.
In terms of area, a diameter of 35mm is about four times that of 18.4mm.
As for single-head bullets for shotguns? We already have assault rifles, so why are we still thinking about single-point bullets?
When the regular army uses shotguns, they don't consider single-point bullets at all. Those things are only considered by hunters in order to use shotguns to hunt big game.
In Gao Zhendong’s previous life, we were equipped with some shotguns in the 21st century, but the main type of ammunition was only one type, No. 12 shotgun containing 14 tungsten alloy projectiles.
Tungsten alloy projectiles are a design with Chinese characteristics.
Speaking of Gao Zhendong’s side, after hearing this suggestion, all the comrades thought it was a good idea. It is much easier to change ammunition types on the battlefield than to change launchers.
The army representatives originally thought that this matter might be out of the question, but unexpectedly Chief Engineer Gao changed his path and came back.
Just use it if you can, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Chief Engineer Gao's analysis of the function of shotguns was very reasonable, and it had to be a comrade like Chief Engineer Gao who had been on the battlefield and had rich experience.
This is what he made up in his head. Gao Zhendong has never used a shotgun on the battlefield. This bit of knowledge is all obtained from the Internet in his previous life. It may not be correct, but at least it sounds reasonable.
Professor Luo also agreed: "General Engineer Gao's suggestion is good and has the least negative impact, but the benefits are huge."
There is no need for him to develop new ammunition types. I personally took action. This kind of auxiliary ammunition is just for students to practice and check it by themselves. He can focus on Chief Engineer Gao's new topic.
Professor Liu once again felt Gao Zhendong’s rich experience and deep knowledge reserve. In just a blink of an eye, he grasped the problem and proposed a plan. He grasped the problem accurately and the plan was comprehensive.
While sighing in his head, he made a final decision: "That's it, the funding for shrapnel, Lao Luo, give me a report later."
Thanks to Gao Zhendong, whether it is the firearm itself or the gun The grenade installation is progressing very smoothly, a lot of money has been saved, and we can support it.
Although the process was somewhat tortuous, the result was that everyone was happy.
