Chapter 31 To build up China's own harmony
"Intermediate power round?"
Chen Yaoyang looked at Bai Yi next to him in confusion. He had heard of rifle bullets, pistol bullets, and all-metal fixed-load bullets, but he had never heard of intermediate-power bullets. The same was true for Lao Ge opposite him. He had been shooting since he joined the army.
Even he himself had lost count of the types of bullets he had seen, but he had never encountered the so-called intermediate-power bullets, so he tilted his head and stared at Bai Yi in confusion and asked: "What is an intermediate-power bullet?"
"Um, how do I put this? Have you heard of the German stg-44 assault rifle during World War II?"
After hearing what Bai Yi said, Chen Yaoyang and Lao Ge ignored it and shook their heads at Bai Yi at the same time. Bai Yi didn't know what to say. If he mentioned the German stg-44 assault rifle in his previous life, he would just
Military fans who know a little bit about firearms will know that this epoch-making weapon, which was born during World War II, can be called the ancestor of the assault rifle. If you understand this basic condition, it will be much simpler to explain the intermediate-power ammunition.
However, looking at the expressions of the two people in front of them, it is clear that they have never even heard of the name of this firearm, let alone familiar with it. But think about it, at this time, China is in constant war, and there is no time to pay attention to the development of external emerging technologies.
Coupled with the lack of internal information, it is not known that the stg-44 assault rifle is normal, but in this way, it is a bit troublesome to understand the intermediate power ammunition.
Bai Yi is a person who doesn't like trouble, but he just got into such a troublesome matter. Seeing the two brothers of life and death looking at him with thirsty eyes, Bai Yi sighed in his heart, just trouble, Quan
When it is for future new firearms
The basics were laid, so Bai Yi recalled what the teacher said in the equipment class in his previous life, and then said: "The so-called intermediate-power bullets, as the name suggests, are new types between high-power rifle bullets and low-power pistol bullets.
ammunition,
The reason why this kind of ammunition appears is mainly to solve the problem of continuous fire of automatic firearms. In fact, with the development of firearms, the fully automatic principle has long been mature, otherwise there would not be rapid-fire weapons such as heavy machine guns and light machine guns. The reason why in
The main reason why it has been unable to be implemented on rifles is the recoil problem."
"Recoil?"
At this time, Chen Yaoyang had just unfolded his notebook. Before he could write anything down, he was confused by Bai Yi's words. However, Bai Yi nodded and continued: "Yes, it's a matter of recoil. I
I think you should know that rifle bullets are usually longer. Generally speaking, the current
Rifle bullets may have different calibers, but all-metal fixed-load cartridges are basically around 54mm. Large-loaded bullets increase the power and range of the rifle, but inevitably bring about the problem of huge recoil. Otherwise, think about it,
What does it feel like to shoot with a medium-form or 38-meter cap?"
"The 38-year-old Gai is okay, but my shoulder is really sore and painful after being hit too much!" Lao Ge scratched his head, but seemed a little unwilling to do so, and continued to ask: "What about the submachine gun? Thomson, use the machine gun, and go down in one go.
It's like a pouring water, it's quite powerful."
"It can form a dense rain of bullets in a short period of time, which is quite powerful. But Lao Ge, if you think about it carefully, when do you always use a submachine gun?"
"Charge, close combat, night combat... I understand, a submachine gun can't hit far."
At Bai Yi's reminder, Lao Ge looked down a little and understood his own experience of using a submachine gun. Bo Yi gave Lao Ge a thumbs up approvingly: "Yes, the submachine gun can't shoot far, but it can fire continuously.
, but the rifle is powerful. Even if you shoot too many single shots, your shoulders will swell with pain, let alone continuous shooting. It is estimated that by then, it doesn’t matter whether the shot is accurate or not, the shoulder of the shooter will definitely be disabled.
.
Because of this, except for light and heavy machine guns with fixed brackets, there are basically no fully automatic firearms with high-power bullets. Even the American M1 "Garand" rifle only uses semi-automatic shooting to increase the rate of fire, and there is no
When it becomes a fully automatic firearm, the biggest concern is the high recoil of high-power rifle bullets."
Bai Yi paused for a moment as he spoke, then took the pen from Chen Yaoyang's hand, unscrewed the pen holder, revealing the full ink bag inside, pointed with his finger and continued: "It's like this pen, knowing that its nib
If the quality is not up to standard and the ink inside cannot be used up, just squeeze out a few drops to allow the pen tip and ink to reach a balance.
The same applies to the amount of ammunition charged. Since it must be more powerful than the pistol bullets of submachine guns, and the high-power rifle ammunition cannot meet the requirements of full-automatic bursts, then reduce the amount of powder charged in the rifle bullets and use a new short-term ammunition.
barrel rifle bullets, so that all indicators can be balanced, and all of this will naturally be solved."
"The balance may be possible, but is the power..." After listening to Bai Yi's explanation, Chen Yaoyang nodded first, and then shook his head noncommittally: "You must know that the range of a rifle is basically more than six hundred meters, even if it exceeds one
Kilometers also have considerable lethality, but if the cartridge is reduced, the power does not seem to meet this requirement."
"This depends on the combat distance and killing probability during combat. The Germans have already made statistics in this regard. According to their statistics on the combat distance and killing range during World War I, more than 70% occurred between 200 meters and 400 meters, and more than 70% occurred between 200 meters and 400 meters.
400 meters, no more than 20%, that is to say, as long as you are not a first-class sharpshooter, a rifle with a range of more than 600 meters is just a psychological comfort for ordinary soldiers, and it has little effect on actual combat."
"Yes, yes, you are absolutely right. It is difficult to see the target clearly if it exceeds 500 meters. Between 200 meters and 400 meters, well, yes, most of the engagement distances we fight are within this range."
As soon as Bai Yi finished speaking, Lao Ge clapped his thigh and shouted urgently. He had extremely rich practical experience, so he had more say in this aspect. Chen Yaoyang no longer said anything, but frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he raised his head again, an impatient look suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Representative Bai, you just said that Germany's stg-44 assault rifle should be the product of intermediate-power ammunition. It seems that foreign powers
It has already pushed us further away.”
After listening to Chen Yaoyang's words, Lao Ge, who was looking so brilliant, couldn't help but feel sad. It's no wonder that the two of them were depressed. Today's Chinese weapons and equipment can be called universal brands, and all kinds of firearms can be gathered together to hold an international firearms expo. As for
Fully automatic firearms are even more on the mind.
However, Germany had already developed similar equipment during World War II. The gap was so huge that it could not be described in words. How could Chen Yaoyang and Lao Ge, who were aware of the reality, not feel depressed? However, Bai Yi looked at the two of them.
With a depressed look of bitterness and hatred, Chen Yaoyang burst into laughter. Chen Yaoyang frowned and said nothing. Lao Ge, who had a straight temper, gave Bai Yi a blank look regardless of the bad temper: "Why do you see us falling behind?"
Are you still in the mood to laugh?"
"Except for Germany's 7.9233mm rifle bullet and the Soviet Union's 7.6239mm rifle bullet, I have never heard of other countries having similar intermediate-power bullets. Germany, a defeated country, was dismembered into two parts. As for the Soviet Union...
…Now I’m shouting like a big brother, do you think I should laugh or not?”
"real?"
When Chen Yaoyang heard this, he was like a treasure hunter who saw a huge treasure. His eyes suddenly widened and his fair face turned red. If what Bai Yi said is true, then the intermediate-type powerful bullet is today's
The technological frontier of the world's light weapons, if
China's achievements in this field are tantamount to being able to overtake others in a corner and completely get rid of the history of relying on foreign countries for light weapons and lagging behind foreign countries. For Chen Yaoyang, who is motivated to serve the country through technology, it is simply a rare treasure that cannot be found. How can he not let it go?
Thrilled and excited?
"Don't you see where I came back from? How dare I lie to you about such a thing?"
As soon as Bai Yi said these words, Chen Yaoyang realized that the Bai Yi in front of him not only participated in the Soviet-German war, but also just returned from the Soviet Union not long ago. Naturally, he knew the latest status of small arms between the Soviet Union and Germany. The next thought came to his mind.
The idea was forming rapidly in my mind, and my eyes were shining: "Representative Bai, do you think we can import this intermediate-power bullet from the Soviet Union and imitate it, so as to develop our own stg-44 assault rifle."
"Introducing 7.6239mm rifle ammunition? It's not impossible, it's just..." Bai Yi pondered for a moment, then shook his head in front of Chen Yaoyang's hopeful gaze: "In my opinion, since we have this idea, we might as well make our own.
7.6239mm rifle ammunition is good, but it still exists
There are many shortcomings, such as the caliber is still too large, the charge formula is still a bit backward, and the aerodynamic characteristics of the warhead are not very perfect. These are our opportunities to catch up and surpass. In this case, we might as well press
I’m trying to come up with a medium-power bullet that belongs to China.”
"That's right. We must educate ourselves. When the time comes, we will show it to those foreign devils. Our Chinese guns and bullets are only better than theirs, not worse."
Before Bai Yi finished speaking, Lao Ge echoed passionately, saying so bluntly that Chen Yaoyang clenched his fists and determined that China must catch up in this frontier field of the world. However, Lao Ge is Lao Ge after all, although he is young and mature.
But the character of young people cannot be erased, and
Because of this, Lao Ge was so impassioned in his previous sentence, but he turned around and lost his true nature. He looked at Bai Yi with a smile and begged: "Representative Bai, since you can name Germany's stg-44 assault rifle, you must have seen it. Then you
Just tell us this story!”
"Okay, then I will tell you a story about this. It was in Belarus in 1944, before the Battle of Bagration was launched..." Bai Yi was in a good mood today, and besides, Lao Ge had been running too hard before,
So he nodded and agreed without hesitation, and slowly began to tell half-truths and half-false stories about the Soviet-German war...
"Bo Yi came back from the Soviet Union and participated in the Soviet-German war?"
Late at night, just as Lao Ge and Chen Yaoyang were listening to Bai Yi's version of the Battle of Bagration with great interest by the dim oil lamp, in the room on the third floor of another dormitory, the oil lamp was also brightly lit, and Li Jinglin was sitting in a cotton-padded jacket.
