Chapter 350 Weapon configuration
“Boss, it seems that you have already made a complete plan for our small arms factory. I don’t know if you can talk about it in detail.
It is convenient for us to implement directly according to your ideas in the future,
Avoid detours. ”
Ludwig Folger is a smart man. Now that he knows that Fang Lang has great expectations for this light weapons job,
Naturally, you must first know what the boss is thinking.
This is like the original military’s requirements and standards for weapon performance.
Then, they are responsible for the same research and development.
He must know the boss’s plan to know how to go in the future.
Hearing what he said, Fang Lang was also taken aback. It turned out that he really didn’t think much about this issue.
Just knowing that the rifle designed by the other party is an excellent rifle, this guy is an excellent gun designer, so he took this guy under his command without hesitation.
However, I haven’t really thought about what kind of equipment this factory will mainly produce in the future.
But as a later generation, he still knows that those weapons really stand the test of time.
So, he thought and said:
“Well! You let me think,
First of all, we must have conducted in-depth research based on the rifle you designed.
I just said that bullets need to be unified, so future general-purpose machine guns must also be built around this bullet.
You have experience in designing MG42, I believe it should not be difficult for you to design a general-purpose machine gun based on it. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the soldiers who were waiting for training, and found that some of them were using Thomson submachine guns. His eyes moved slightly and said:
“In addition to rifles and machine guns, we also need submachine guns. Now we use the 11.43mm pistol bullet of the Thomson submachine gun, which has a large caliber.
I think the Parabellum 9mm pistol bullet is very good. I want to develop our own submachine gun and pistol around this 9*19mm pistol bullet.
The style of the submachine gun can miniaturize the rifle you are designing now, which should not be difficult.
As for the pistol, I want you to refer to the Browning 1911 to design and manufacture a pistol that can choose single-shot or continuous-shot.
It shouldn’t be too difficult! ”
Ludwig Folger found that Fang Lang seemed to prefer a small caliber, but the other party was the boss. Since the boss had already decided, he certainly would not raise any objections.
Besides, none of these requirements were too difficult for him.
What he didn’t know was that these requests made by Fang Lang were the mainstream in the future.
Based on the current rifle, the miniaturized design is carried out. The submachine gun using Parabellum 9mm pistol ammunition will be the most famous MP5 submachine gun in the future.
This is the submachine gun of choice for the world’s major special forces. Needless to say, if he can be favored by the world’s major special forces, you can know how good he is.
And there are countless excellent pistols that use this kind of pistol ammunition, such as the famous Glock 18, HK P7, Beretta M92F and so on.
Although Fang Lang only proposed to conduct research and development around two types of bombs, these two types of bombs have obviously passed the test of history.
As early as 1902, the Parabellum 9mm pistol cartridge had been used in the Luger pistol.
Now what they want to study is mainly the 7.62*51mm intermediate power bullets. Fang Lang believes that as long as these weapons are successfully developed according to his own plan.
Then, my own small arms company, which is still unknown, will become a world arms giant in the future.
Thinking about it makes people excited, maybe this company can replace the HK company in the future.
“Boss, of course no problem.
But if this is the case, the weapon will shrink compared to other weapons in terms of power and range! ”
Of course Fang Lang was prepared for this.
After all, this is also the future trend, and the power of 7.62mm is not small.
You should know that 5.56mm did not officially become the NATO standard caliber until 1970.
Some people may ask, why not directly use the 5.56mm caliber?
This is the mainstream of modern society!
My family! The 5.56mm caliber was only designed in the United States in 1958, and now 7.62mm is the mainstream.
Of course, doing business cannot be done in one step!
No matter what, you have to make enough profit on the 7.62mm body before you start joining the 5.56mm camp!
And Fang Lang knows that the armor-piercing ability of the 5.56mm bullet is insufficient, and the 7.62mm weapon still has a long way to go!
“Haha, it’s okay,
As long as our assault rifles can be guaranteed, an effective range of about 400 meters is enough.
Beyond this distance, it is not the target of the assault rifle,
After all, it is not so difficult to shoot the enemy directly with the naked eye if it exceeds 400 meters.
Give it to the sniper rifle to shoot, or the light machine gun to suppress it. ”
Ludwig Folger knew that Fang Lang already had a complete direction in his mind, so he didn’t say much.
Hearing Fang Lang mention the sniper rifle, Ludwig Folger looked at Fang Lang with a smile and said:
“So shall we also design a professional sniper rifle?”
Regarding the sniper rifle, Fang Lang is not worried.
Because technically speaking, the design of a sniper rifle is not very difficult, but the difficulty lies in the processing accuracy.
This processing accuracy not only refers to the processing accuracy of firearms, but more importantly, the processing accuracy of bullets.
Of course, at the same time, you have to equip him with an equally excellent sniper scope, otherwise, the naked eye alone will definitely not be able to accomplish long-distance sniper killing.
Fang Lang believes that Ludwig Folger, the excellent gun designers of the Mauser company, will definitely have no problem designing these weapons.
“Well! After the previous firearms are successfully developed, it will not be too late for you to start developing sniper rifles.
My plan for the sniper rifle is to use high-precision 7.62*51mm intermediate-power bullets and 12.7*99mm large-caliber bullets.
This is enough to cover enemies beyond the range of the assault rifle. ”
Ludwig Folger couldn’t help but be taken aback, he can understand the use of high-precision 7.62*51mm intermediate power bullets.
is to unify the caliber and reduce logistical pressure.
But the large-caliber bullet of 12.7*99mm, as a bullet for a sniper rifle, greatly exceeded his expectations.
This is obviously the bullet caliber of a heavy machine gun!
Such bullets have a range of more than one thousand meters. It seems that the boss wants to make a sniper rifle that can directly kill the enemy from a thousand meters away.
For such a rifle, whether it is the processing accuracy of the firearm or the accuracy of the bullets, it must reach a harsh level.
If you want to achieve such accuracy, you can only use the rotary back-pull bolt, abandon the continuous shooting function of the rifle, and use semi-automatic or manual mode.
Sniper rifles like this are more terrifying than the range. If the bullet hits a person, it is the kind that can shatter half of the body.
This is really scary.
After swallowing his saliva, Ludwig Folger said tentatively:
“Is this caliber too big, it can be used as an anti-tank gun.”
After thinking for a while, he said:
“Do you want to develop a heavy machine gun based on the 12.7×99mm large-caliber bullet?”
Of course Fang Lang knows that this sniper rifle has a large caliber. After all, in later generations, this kind of sniper rifle is no longer simply called a sniper rifle, but an anti-material sniper rifle.
That is, a rifle that can kill armored or bulletproof targets.
In history, the sniper rifle of this caliber was in the mid-1980s, and the United States and the Soviet Union began to conduct research one after another.
So, there is no need to worry, and if you want to study sniper rifles, you have to study advanced optical sights.
The research and manufacture of optical instruments is still blank in Brazil.
well! No way, Brazil’s basic industry is too backward.
However, if you want to manufacture advanced sniper rifles, you must introduce the manufacture of optical instruments.
Fang Lang couldn’t help but rubbed his head. It seemed that the Fangyuan Group was about to get involved in a new industry again, so Fang Lang was a little worried about blooming everywhere.
But he knows that the optical instrument industry is actually a very promising industry.
For example, making telescopes, microscopes, camera lenses, spectacle lenses, mobile phone lenses until modern society, and even photolithography machines used to make microchips are all inseparable from optical instruments.
And Germany happens to have a very good optical instrument factory, that is the famous Carl Zeiss.
Because of the war, in 1945, the American army occupied the Carl Zeiss Jena factory, expropriated patents, documents and specialized production equipment, and brought professional technicians to Heidenheim in the west.
In 1946, the Soviet occupying forces dismantled all the production equipment of the Jena factory and brought scientists, engineers and professional technicians to the Soviet Union.
This company has been completely split up.
However, Fang Lang did not intend to give up. He believed that there must still be many professional technicians from Zeiss in Germany hiding.
Otherwise, how could the Carl Zeiss company of later generations be able to recover quickly!
For such a company, Fang Lang plans to adopt the same joint venture method as the automobile industry system, and directly find people from Carl Zeiss in Germany to cooperate to establish a branch in Brazil.
I only need to own a certain amount of shares, and I also need the help of this company for the Brazilian electronics industry.
Thinking of this, Fang Lang silently wrote down the matter.
This time he is no longer going to do it himself. Now he has many German collaborators, and he just needs to let them pass a message to the people of Carl Zeiss for him.
Just send a professional negotiating team to Germany.
Fang Lang also smiled when Ludwig Folger said that the caliber was too large.
“There is no need to worry about this large-caliber sniper rifle, we can take our time.
I want to make such a large-caliber sniper rifle, which is mainly aimed at the enemy’s lightly armored targets.
As for, you mentioned that you want to develop a heavy machine gun based on the 12.7×99mm large-caliber bullet.
It’s true, but I don’t plan to continue to develop it myself,
The M2 Browning heavy machine gun currently in service in the U.S. military is a very good heavy machine gun.
So, I’m going to talk directly to the U.S. government about licensing production. ”
For heavy machine guns, Fang Lang actually has two goals in mind.
First of all, it must be the M2 Browning heavy machine gun just mentioned, which uses 12.7×99mm large-caliber bullets.
This is a heavy machine gun that has been in service for more than a hundred years and has not been eliminated by the times. It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the best heavy machine guns.
To this day, this heavy machine gun is still active in the major battlefields in which the United States participates.
The place where you see it the longest is often the roof of the Hummer.
The other one, of course, is Gatling, which everyone loves to play. Unfortunately, the technology of this era is still unable to reach the level of using laser superposition technology to shoot down drones in later generations.
If you use a motor, you need to add a battery, which is really inconvenient. And the weight is too large, it is only suitable for use as a fixed weapon platform.
So, I can only choose the M2 Browning heavy machine gun for the time being. As for discussing authorized production with the Americans, Fang Lang is not worried.
Because, with the current relationship between Brazil and the United States, it is not difficult to obtain authorization.
Not to mention the current relationship between the Fang family and the Morgan family, such trivial matters can be easily resolved.
Hearing that Fang Lang was going to introduce the M2 Browning heavy machine gun, Ludwig Folger was obviously not convinced.
But throughout World War II, Germany did not develop a large-caliber heavy machine gun.
Whenever on the battlefield, after the Germans are suppressed by the large-caliber machine guns of the Allies, they will go straight to the guns.
German ordinary infantry divisions will be equipped with 12 20mm Flak30/38 anti-aircraft guns.
This flat-firing anti-aircraft artillery is so powerful that it can directly destroy the heavy machine gun positions of the Allies.
Therefore, Germany does not have large-caliber heavy machine guns.
“Boss, I think I have the ability to design a better heavy machine gun than the M2.
If you can give me a chance, I will definitely not let you down. ”
These words made Fang Lang speechless for a while, good guy, this technical expert really has his own persistence!
But after thinking about it, he can understand it. After all, he is a genius who can design a machine gun like MG42, so it is normal to have such a heart.
For this kind of genius, Fang Lang certainly couldn’t dampen his enthusiasm.
So, he smiled and said:
“Ludwig, very good, I like your self-confidence, and I also believe in your ability.
M2 heavy machine gun is good, but his rate of fire is actually not fast.
And I know that there is a gun with a shooting speed that must be able to surpass him,
I suggest that you can conduct research on the basis of this gun type. ”
As a gun designer, Fang Lang just opened his mouth, and Ludwig Folger immediately knew what type of gun Fang Lang was talking about.
His MG42 fires very fast, but if it is changed to a large-caliber heavy machine gun, the problem of heat dissipation cannot be solved at all.
After all, the current 7.92 mm caliber bullets need to be replaced constantly when using them.
Not to mention the increase to 12.7mm.
If it could be changed to 12.7 mm, it would have been changed a long time ago, and there is no need to wait until now.
Gatling is completely different. Gatling fires bullets through several barrels at the same time.
His heat will not be concentrated in one of the barrels, and he can also dissipate heat continuously during rotation.
So this machine gun can achieve a higher rate of fire while maintaining the caliber.
“Boss, are you talking about Gatling?”
Fang Lang nodded with a smile and said:
“That’s right, I believe that if the Gatling machine gun is used for improvement, the large-caliber machine gun will be able to maintain a high rate of fire while maintaining a large caliber.
I want this machine gun, once it starts firing, to start a storm of metal. ”
In fact, Fang Lang already had a goal in his heart, and that was the GAU-19 Gatling machine gun successfully developed by the US military in 1983.
That is, the six-barreled Gatling that you can often see in movies, hanging on the side of the Black Hawk helicopter.
It also fires 12.7*99mm large-caliber bullets, with a maximum rate of fire of 1000-2000 rounds per minute.
