Chapter 424 Get a new machine gun
Gao Zhendong changed his mind and said with a smile: "Actually, based on this grenade, there are a lot of things that can be done."
Hear After his words, everyone became more energetic and looked at him enthusiastically. Are there any experts?
Professor Liu and the army representative looked at each other, waved their hands and said to other comrades: "You continue to do experiments, we will find a place to talk."
When it comes to new things, before they are confirmed , naturally the fewer people know about it, the better, especially Chief Engineer Gao, whose ideas are wild but very effective. He can get secrets by opening his mouth frequently, so he should be more cautious.
Gao Zhendong, the troop representatives, Professor Liu, and Professor Luo left the testing site and went to talk to the small black room nearby. However, the three comrades brought by Gao Zhendong stayed here temporarily.
Looking at the departure of several big guys, a student was busy working while chatting with a comrade from Beijing University of Technology.
"Senior brother, I didn't expect that you would come back just after graduation."
Senior brother smiled and said: "Work needs it, work needs it." In his words, there was the satisfaction of realizing some ideals. .
As for what kind of work is required, I won’t go into details. People in this industry find it so troublesome to chat, and there are quite a few rules to pay attention to.
"It seems that I will need more guidance from you in the future. Chief Engineer Gao is so awesome. If you follow him, your journey will go faster." Junior Brother's words were full of envy and admiration.
“Hey, it’s necessary for work, I’m just here to study.”
That’s the same sentence. As for whether I’m here to study Gao Zhendong’s class, or to study something else, it’s still unclear. Here, maybe.
Gao Zhendong and others walked to a room next to the shooting range. Professor Liu and others took out pens and paper and said with a smile: "General Engineer Gao, if you have any suggestions, please give me some guidance."
Gao Zhendong didn’t hesitate. He couldn’t remember these things without encountering them. Now that he remembered them, he said them quickly. Maybe he could give some inspiration to the comrades. If he didn’t say them, he would forget them later.
"My first thought was another new bomb type - air-explosion grenades, which are mainly used to deal with enemies in open-air fortifications, such as trenches and soft firepower points. Moreover, air-explosion grenades are not suitable for dealing with enemy soft targets. , the effect is better than the impact."
Have you ever heard of the palm technique of falling from the sky? This can be considered one kind, the gentlest kind.
Although hard targets are hard, the disadvantage is that they take time to build and are costly. Therefore, on the battlefield, a large number of targets are such open-air fortifications, especially during mobile warfare and encounters, which are characterized by the front Blocked, the head is empty.
For soft targets, due to the terrain, the blind spot of the impact grenade is relatively large, but the air bomb is different. The main target is thunder and rain, which is a military favor.
As the saying goes, "The lower world is 360 degrees, and there are so many jackals in the rain of blood."
Gao Zhendong's words made the comrades in the army happy.
What is a fighting hero? This is it! He is too familiar with things on the battlefield.
Professor Liu and Professor Luo frowned after hearing this.
Professor Luo is more familiar with guns and grenades: "With such a small ammunition, are you a little nervous about air explosions?"
Without the use of electronic fuzes, think of air explosion fuzes. Simple, but actually quite troublesome. Compared with exploding instant fuses and ground-penetrating fuses, the biggest trouble is how does the ammunition know when it's time to explode?
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "This one has a light bullet and a slow speed. It should be easier to do. My idea is to add a tan jump ring to the warhead."
"Bounce ring?"
"Yes, it is a folded elastic metal ring. When the fuse is exploded, the springing ring is released first to fly the ammunition, and then detonated. If the design is good, the effect of an air explosion can be achieved."< br>
Professor Luo’s eyes started with confusion, gradually became clear, and finally shone.
He moved his hands excitedly: "This is a good idea! It's so clever." Following his movements, the pen in his hand threw out a few drops of ink, which almost flew into the face of Professor Liu opposite. .
Neither he nor Professor Liu noticed this at all, but were praising the subtlety of this little design.
It relies entirely on machinery, and adding a jumping ring converts the impact fuze into an air-detonation fuze. The principle is not complicated, and the structure is generally achievable without very high technical requirements.
This structure is not very easy to use when it comes to large explosion ratios fired by barrel artillery. Those ammunition are fired as high-speed heavy bombs, which is not easy to handle. However, for low-speed light bombs such as gun-mounted grenades, But it's just right.
Furthermore, air-explosion grenades do not need to consider armor penetration. The space in front of the original charge cover is just right for placing this fuse, which will not affect the power. Even because there is no need to consider armor penetration, it can be used in the fragment sleeve and The charge is more radical and more powerful!
The troop representative didn’t know much about the technical details of this kind, but after seeing the reactions of professors Liu and Luo, he knew there was something serious about it, so although he didn’t say anything, the expression on his face betrayed his mood. , it’s so cool!
Professor Liu made the decision on the spot: "Lao Luo, this thing can be done! You can report it later and put it together with the shrapnel in the squad gun group and do it."
Professor Luo nodded with a smile. First, this time my students’ graduation projects are all settled.
Turn around, Professor Liu said with great interest: "General Engineer Gao, what else is there?" He heard clearly that what Gao Zhendong just said was the "first idea", then at least there is a second idea. indivual.
Gao Zhendong said: "We use this gun to hang grenades, and build a new grenade machine gun, or automatic grenade launcher, which can be equipped in the company platoon fire support team. , or can be placed on mobile vehicles such as off-road vehicles, light armored vehicles, and helicopters to provide fire support.”
The off-road vehicle is so pitiful that anyone on the battlefield can bully it and take care of it.
Isn’t the infantry fighting vehicle being developed to add some firepower to it?
Although there are few helicopters and imitation has not yet been successful, this does not prevent us from thinking earlier.
The most excited about this matter are the comrades in the army.
This thing sounds exciting! Grenade machine gun!
Needless to say, the benefits of this thing are that the ammunition is compatible with gun-mounted grenades, and within a range of 400 meters, it is invincible in suppressing and striking soft targets.
It can shoot both directly and curvedly, and has various striking methods.
Are you against a gun? I have a grenade machine gun.
Even a long-range weapon like an anti-aircraft machine gun can't do well against this thing. The 400-meter full-automatic area-killing firepower is not as powerful as a heavy-duty machine gun on the actual battlefield.
On the battlefield, it may be difficult to get close to 40 meters from the enemy, but it is not easy to get close to 400 meters. Sneak up to 400 meters away, shoot out the grenade, then run away with it and change positions. Do it again.
That scene is exciting to think about.
In addition to hitting soft targets, against targets such as enemy light armored vehicles or even light armored teams, the effective range of this thing is more than 100 meters. When fighting an ambush, it can hit you from 300 to 400 meters away. Apply it and the effect will definitely be the same.
I want this! I want this! The troop representative shouted crazily in his heart.
Different from the simple tube-mounted grenade launcher, the focus of the gun-mounted grenade launcher is on the bomb, so it is Professor Luo's specialty.
And this thing is a serious automatic weapon. Is it considered a firearm or a cannon? Anyway, the relationship with Professor Liu is closer.
Professor Liu is also very interested in this, but a little worried.
"Chief Engineer Gao, this is considered new equipment. It can no longer be included in the squad gun family. It needs to be re-established, right?"
Gao Zhendong just said that it is a company platoon weapon. For fire support, anything with the word "machine gun" in it, except for squad machine guns, cannot be serviced by ordinary squads. It must be a specialized fire squad.
So it is not appropriate to insert it into the squad gun clan.
Before Gao Zhendong could say anything, the army representative spoke first: "Professor Liu, you don't have to worry about this matter. Let's report to the superiors together and apply for a project. If everything goes well, we will be able to pick you up. Class gun clan.”
Professor Liu was delighted. The topics were seamlessly connected one by one. In fact, if he really wanted to, the weird things in Gao Zhendong's head would keep him from working until he retired.
After hearing what the troop representative said, Gao Zhendong also smiled and said: "Professor Liu, when you write the report, I will also sign it."
Professor Liu was overjoyed, and he was sure that the project would be approved. , a little bigger.
He knew very well that Gao Zhendong's words were not intended to get a share of the pie. He had no shortage of such things. The real purpose was to help him.
Chief Engineer Gao's influence in this area has increased visibly to Professor Liu. With his co-sign, at least the Defense Working Committee will treat it more carefully.
Professor Liu and the army representative looked at each other and did it!
Professor Liu and Professor Luo each won a project, and they were satisfied. The happiest people were naturally not them, but the representatives of the army. You may not lose, but I will always make a profit!
A few people walked out of the house cheerfully. On the road, Professor Luo asked Gao Zhendong quietly: "General Engineer Gao, it seems that this gun is almost ready for grenades. What about the new one you mentioned last time?" "Project?"
For Professor Luo, he got two handfuls of wool for his students today, but his next topic has not been decided yet. These two new types of ammunition are not enough.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "It has been prepared for a long time, don't worry. After you have arranged the small batch test work here, you can wait for me at school or come to me over there. Let’s push this issue forward.”
Gao Zhendong's readiness does not only mean that he is ready in terms of principles and routes, but also includes other important related technologies. Otherwise, this subject really cannot be carried out.
Gao Zhendong is not worried at all that the subject cannot be pushed forward. For the army, that thing can even be regarded as a breakthrough change and can very well meet future combat needs.
Professor Luo heard this and was completely relieved. Chief Engineer Gao would not make such a joke casually. Besides, they are all in the same school now. No, they are colleagues.
