Chapter 349 Bullets

After shooting two shots in a row, Fang Lang finally found his feeling. He turned the gun body sideways and looked it over carefully, but he didn’t see anything unusual.

He bent his knees again to hold the gun, and switched the firing mode to burst.

Followed by “bang bang bang”, three short bursts in a hurry.

Feeling the beating range of the muzzle and the force with which he pulled the trigger, Fang Lang felt that the recoil of this gun seemed not unacceptable.

After all, what I use now is only the most basic design posture.

And when shooting with many special forces that he saw in the videos of his later generations, there is a shooting method called Mapugai shooting method, also known as TOB shooting method, which is to reduce the jumping range of the muzzle by pressing the thumb on the top of the handguard. shooting tactics.

Judging from the current situation of gun testing, using this TOB shooting method can completely control the jumping range of the muzzle.

But after all, it was a new gun, so he was not in a hurry.

Fired several short bursts in a row, and Fang Lang exited the magazine after all the bullets in the magazine were emptied.

Glancing at the target in the distance, Fang Lang can now see more clearly the 400-meter target. He can guarantee that all three short shots will hit the target.

What does this mean? It means that the shooting accuracy of this rifle is very good.

At least so far, Fang Lang is very satisfied with this trial rifle.

What he didn’t know was that Ludwig Folger, the gun designer standing beside him, looked very surprised.

It turned out that he only knew that his boss was a soldier, and it was normal to be familiar with weapons.

But seeing Fang Lang now, he can easily control a weapon that has just been trial-produced, which is still beyond his expectations.

After all, this short burst shooting method was something he never thought of before.

He knows that many excellent machine gunners are accustomed to using this short burst design method, but now it seems that his boss has already figured out the best shooting method for this weapon just as soon as he got started.

The soldiers and instructors who were resting not far away looked at Fang Lang indifferently, and were shooting one shot at a time in an uncommon shooting posture.

After firing three single shots, this weapon, which is obviously a rifle rather than a submachine gun, can easily achieve the effect of three short bursts.

Everyone was stunned, some people still don’t quite understand what this weapon is for.

It seems to have duplicated the function of the submachine gun!

But there are also many sensible people present, after all, many fighters here have participated in the European war.

Among them, many of the American instructors are outstanding in the war.

Although it is still just a test, and they don’t know the specific performance of this weapon, they can already feel that this weapon is different from the weapons they have come into contact with before.

Fang Lang didn’t pay attention to the opinions of the people around him, but was feeling the performance of this rifle with his heart.

Passing the old magazine to the person behind him, he took out a new magazine full of bullets, and snapped it into place.

Pulled the bolt again, and directly pulled the trigger at a target 100 meters away.

Just listen to “da da da”

Continuous gunshots, non-stop ringing.

Fang Lang didn’t desperately lower the muzzle of the gun, but with a little effort, he controlled the beating range of the muzzle to a small range.

After firing a magazine with one shuttle, Fang Lang had a general understanding of the weapon in his opponent’s hand.

Out of the magazine again, he threw the gun to his adjutant Qi Qingshan.

“Gyeongsan, follow the shooting method I just did and try the gun.

Single shot first, then short bursts, and finally bursts.

See if you can hold the muzzle of the gun.

Remind you, in the burst mode, the muzzle bounce will be relatively large, and the recoil is similar to that of the M1 Garand.

Be careful. ”

This adjutant, Qi Qingshan, is also a veteran who participated in the European War. He tried firing this new rifle, and the problem was not too big.

Standing behind him all the time, seeing Fang Lang shooting, Qi Qingshan was a little ready to move.

After all, man! How many people don’t like guns?

What’s more, this is an experimental firearm that has just been successfully trial-produced!

So, Qi Qingshan took it without hesitation, and said directly without hesitation:

“Yes, boss, let me try.”

Fang Lang stood beside Ludwig Folger, watching Qi Qingshan test the gun.

There is no problem with single shot.

Short burst shooting is not a big problem, but it has obviously lost its aim when firing bursts.

With two magazines, Fang Lang also roughly understood the situation of this gun.

Turning his head to Ludwig Folger beside him, he said:

” is a good gun, however, there are two problems.

First of all, the bullet is wrongly selected, and the 7.62mm*63mm rifle bullet should not be used.

The power of this full-power bullet is too large, resulting in excessive recoil and muzzle bounce,

Especially in burst mode, it is difficult to control the aim.

So, I suggest you to choose the middle power bomb.

Now we do not have our own bullet production line in Brazil, nor do we have a mandatory uniform standard for bullets.

I hope you can design an intermediate power bomb, and you can test the specific one that is most suitable for you.

I think there is no problem with using 7.62mm caliber, and the lethality is enough.

Second, as I said earlier, although you have tried your best to reduce the weight of the gun body.

But I think the weight needs to be further reduced.

After all, this rifle consumes a lot of ammunition. If this rifle is used, soldiers need to carry more ammunition.

This will greatly increase the burden on the soldiers.

In order to maintain combat effectiveness, it is necessary to continue to lose weight.

Give you a suggestion, for some non-important parts, you can change to a new material.

If there is a certain requirement for strength, it can be replaced with aluminum, and if there is no requirement for strength, it can be replaced with plastic.

This will definitely reduce a lot of weight. ”

Ludwig Folger did not expect that the boss would discover so many problems after simply trying the gun once, and he would come up with solutions.

As an excellent gun designer, although he has never heard of the concept of intermediate power bullets.

But since it is said that the 7.62mm*63mm rifle ammunition is a full-power bullet, it is conceivable that the intermediate-power bullet must be a bullet that is less powerful than this full-power bullet.

Doesn’t the 7.92×33mm short bullet used by the German STG44 rifle perfectly meet this standard?

At the beginning of his design of this rifle, he considered using this short bullet directly,

But, now in Brazil, he is very worried that the weapon he designed based on this bullet will not be popular.

So I chose the most common ammunition for the Brazilian army.

“Boss, the middle power bullet you said,

Does it mean a bullet like the German 7.92*33mm short bullet? ”

Fang Lang doesn’t know how the later generations will divide the intermediate power bullets, but he has a basic concept, that is, the intermediate power bullets have a power between rifle bullets and pistol bullets.

Hearing what Ludwig Folger said, his first reaction was that the length of this bullet seems to be a bit short, but his caliber is 7.92, which is larger than the 7.62 used by AK.

The length is 6mm shorter than the AK’s 39mm, but the caliber is a bit thicker. After conversion, the charge is estimated to be similar to the AK’s 7.62*39mm.

It must belong to the middle power bullet.

But he didn’t want to be independent, let the Brazilian troops use a special bullet alone, he started a company, and the weapons he produced were ready to be sold all over the world.

The NATO countries all over the world will use 7.62×51mm NATO bullets in the future, and he does not want to make detours.

Moreover, he wants to unify the bullets of rifles and machine guns in the future, which can reduce logistical pressure.

The 7.92*33mm short bullet is obviously not suitable for machine guns, so from this point of view, this bullet was passed by Fang Lang.

Although the NATO standard 7.62×51mm NATO bullet was not developed until 1950 in the United States, isn’t this an advantage as a reborn?

Knowing that the entire NATO in the future will use this kind of bullet, why don’t I go ahead of the world and get it right in one step!

So, he said without hesitation:

“Ludwig, the bullet you mentioned is indeed an intermediate power bullet.

But the bullets you mentioned are not powerful enough. What I want is to directly let the rifles and light machine guns of the troops use unified bullets.

I need you to help me develop a 7.62*51mm intermediate power bullet,

All of our rifles and light machine guns will use this cartridge in the future to reduce logistical pressure. ”

Upon hearing this, Ludwig Folger immediately understood what Fang Lang meant. It seems that a light machine gun will be developed based on this bullet in the future!

Certainly no problems with Ludwig Folger, who invented the MG42 machine gun.

He wished he had the opportunity to develop more and more advanced weapons, so as to reflect his value.

However, researching bullets is not an easy task, and it is even more difficult to establish a complete production line of bullets.

It seems that my task is very heavy!

After nodding heavily, Ludwig said:

“No problem, boss, we will organize manpower to develop the bullet you mentioned when we go back.

But if you want to produce bullets on a large scale, it is not much less difficult than making firearms.

Maybe we need to recruit more people. ”

Fang Lang is very clear that Ludwig Folger is telling the truth, don’t look at the bullet as if it is inconspicuous, in fact, it is far more difficult to produce him than to manufacture firearms.

Looking at the later generations of Asan, they always say that they are the third largest military power in the world, and they have the ability to manufacture aircraft, tanks and aircraft carriers by themselves.

But it hit a nail on a small bullet. Although it has a certain bullet manufacturing capacity now, it can’t produce high-precision bullets at all, and can only choose to import from abroad.

And if Fang Lang wants to manufacture arms sales by himself in the future, he must have his own bullet production capacity.

So, he nodded without hesitation and said:

“No problem, what kind of people are needed, you feel free to recruit, I only have one request.

It is necessary for our factory to have completely independent bullet production and development capabilities, understand? ”

Ludwig Folger nodded seriously when he heard Fang Lang’s words. In order for this light weapons manufacturing factory to gain a firm foothold in the global arms market, it must have a complete bullet production capacity.

It seems that we have to go to Germany to gather wool. After all, Germany is the easiest place to obtain technology and personnel.

Don’t think of a way from here, do you have to start researching from scratch?

It takes a lot of time.
