Professor Su picked up a bullet from the table, looked at it, and looked at Wang Xuexin with a confused expression: "Bullet? What problem does this... solve?"
"We want to design a gun for this bullet!" Wang Xuexin explained: "A gun that can fire this bullet!"
Professor Su looked at Su Xin, and both of them saw doubts in each other's eyes.
"Battle Commander Wang!" Professor Su said: "I still don't understand. We all have aircraft and cannons, especially aircraft... Isn't the most important thing now to improve the x2 to compete for air supremacy? At this critical juncture, other
Put aside the matter and develop the rifle?”
"Dad..." Su Xin stopped mid-sentence and said, "Su...Professor Su, this is a military secret. Let's ask less questions!"
"Yes, yes..." Professor Su replied: "Battle Commander Wang, I'm just curious, just pretend I didn't say anything!"
"Actually, it's not a big deal!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Of course I believe you!"
This is actually nonsense. If the arsenal that develops and develops equipment cannot believe it, then no one can believe it.
Moreover, if some problems are not explained clearly, these R&D personnel will have no direction at all.
For example, if Professor Su and Su Xin don't know what they are developing or what the equipment they are developing is useful, can they develop the right thing? Even if it is developed, how will it be inspected and tested?
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Therefore, these things must be explained clearly to them.
"Let's put it this way!" Wang Xuexin took the paper and pen on the table and analyzed while drawing a simple diagram: "The firearms on the battlefield now can be roughly divided into these categories, one is equipment for shooting rifle ammunition, and the other is thugs
Gun and ammunition equipment!”
After looking at the two people and seeing that they had no objections, Wang Xuexin continued: "The equipment used to shoot rifle ammunition mainly includes rifles and light machine guns, and the equipment used to shoot pistol ammunition mainly includes pistols and submachine guns."
"Is there any problem with this?" Su Xin asked.
She has been working in an arsenal and is familiar with these ammunition and firearms.
If there are problems with all of these, wouldn't her life have been in vain?
Su Xin continued: "Pistol bullets have a short range and small recoil, so they can be used for handheld continuous-fire equipment such as submachine guns. Rifle bullets have a long range and have a large recoil. If they want to be fired continuously, they can only be used with a gun mount."
machine gun! Doesn’t the combination of the two, one far and one close, just meet the needs of the battlefield?"
Wang Xuexin smiled and shook his head, and replied: "The two are indeed a combination of one far and one close, but Director Su, have you ever considered that the actual battlefield often does not require a range as far as a rifle bullet... Pull-bolt type
If we really talk about the range of a rifle, it can easily reach 600 meters, 800 meters, and some can even reach 1,000 meters. In other words, these bullets are still accurate after flying 1,000 meters!"
"What's wrong with this?" Su Xin asked doubtfully, "Don't bullets need to be able to hit far and accurately?"
No wonder Su Xin said this. She was a research and development staff member who had never participated in combat and knew nothing about the battlefield. Therefore, she would take it for granted that bullets that can hit farther and more accurately would have an advantage.
"You're right!" Wang Xuexin said: "Bullets do hit far and accurately, but... most actual battles occur within five hundred meters. Isn't a range of 600, 800, or even 1,000 meters a huge
A waste of money?”
Before Su Xin could refute, Wang Xuexin continued: "On the contrary, the range of pistol bullets is too close. It can only be used as a pistol to shoot 50 meters at most. When used as a submachine gun, the range can barely reach more than 200 meters. This is
Isn’t it causing one between more than 200 meters to 600 meters?
Firepower vacuum? In other words, our soldiers, in most cases, endure the recoil of rifles with a range of 600 or 800 meters to hit targets of 300 to 500 meters! It doesn’t matter if the battle lasts for a long time.
What? Have you considered the physical strength of the soldiers?"
When Wang Xuexin said this, Su Xin became silent.
At this time, Professor Su interrupted: "Captain Wang, maybe I don't know how to fight, but...if all our troops are equipped with this kind of rifles and shoot this kind of bullets..."
As he spoke, Professor Su picked up an intermediate-power bomb and waved it in front of Wang Xuexin, saying: "What if the enemy suppresses our army from a long distance? I mean, they fight us from a distance. Our
Guns can't hit them, but they can hit us!"
"Professor Su!" Wang Xuexin replied: "If the distance is more than 600 meters, it will take a sharpshooter to hit it accurately. What's more, we don't have to equip rifles and completely eliminate rifle ammunition!"
"You mean..." Professor Su looked at Wang Xuexin in surprise: "In the future, the troops will be equipped with three types of bullets? Will there be a supply problem?"
Professor Su's concerns are justified.
Troop operations are most afraid of chaos. For example, if a troop uses equipment made by all nations, this gun uses this caliber of ammunition, and that gun uses that caliber, even if there is ammunition in the rear, they don’t know where to send it, which will cause fatal supplies.
confusion.
Wang Xuexin added a type of ammunition, namely an intermediate-power ammunition, which will indeed cause certain difficulties in logistics.
but……
Wang Xuexin said: "This is a matter of training and adaptation. Our army has been using equipment made by all countries for a long time. Sometimes a unit has more than a dozen different types of equipment. There were no problems before. Now it has been simplified to three types of ammunition.
How could there be a problem?"
Professor Su thought it was right, and then stopped talking.
Su Xin added at this time: "Comrade Battalion Commander, I think your plan is not advisable. The main reason is that if we want to produce new firearms, we will have to modify the entire production line, which will inevitably cause a lot of damage.
It’s a waste, and what you get in the end is just to save some ammunition and let the soldiers save some energy, which doesn’t have much advantage. I don’t think it’s enough for us to give up a mature equipment and adopt a radical way to produce new guns!”
Wang Xuexin touched his nose and said: "The advantage...is not just about saving some gunpowder and saving some energy!"
"What do you mean?" Su Xin asked. She couldn't figure out what other advantages it could have.
"That's it!" Wang Xuexin pointed to the sketch and explained: "You know, the submachine gun can be fired continuously because of its small recoil, but the machine gun cannot because of its large recoil. If there is a bullet,
Its power is between the two, that is, it can be fired continuously but also has a guaranteed power and a range of about 500 meters... Do you think it has a big advantage?"
As soon as these words came out, Professor Su and Su Xin were stunned.
As weapons experts, they certainly know that if there is such a weapon, it will undoubtedly be able to crush all existing individual equipment.
