After basically communicating the matters regarding Colonel Qi Han, Lin Mo and the two of them also said goodbye and left in a hurry, and began to communicate and arrange various matters.
Of course, at the end of the day, he did not forget to ask about when these matters could be achieved.
After careful consideration, Lin Mo gave a time limit of half a year. He did not dare to set the time too long. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid people feeling that it was too long and running out of patience.
On the other hand, on the national government side, many policy decisions do not have much continuity, and it is not unusual for them to even change from day to day. As time goes by, Lin Mo is also worried about changes.
Of course, this deadline is only to basically check whether there are any problems with the equipment, that is, to produce some samples or test products, at most some simple parts, and to produce a small amount of finished products.
Lin Mo is also sure that he can come out at this time. He can influence the selected supplier to ensure that he will do his best and not hold back or fail to work.
Although the requirements for both of them are slightly higher than the standard in some aspects, if after trying it, you feel that it may not be low in the short term, you can also use the relationship that the Lin family is about to build, recruit people from abroad or buy corresponding things to top it up first.
In other words! What Lin Mo mentioned may not necessarily be able to be solved domestically, but it is not a big problem abroad, but their first consideration is to solve it themselves.
The next stop, Lin Mo and Xu Guyu, went to the repair shop. Wu Liangdong had received the news in advance and was ready. He took the people Lin Mo ordered and waited in the conference room.
After a few polite words and a brief introduction to each other, they got to the point. Under Xu Guyu's signal, Lin Mo spoke first, introduced the situation, and then directly talked about the weapon issue.
"To put it briefly on pistols and rifles, I must choose one that is ready-made and can be quickly equipped in large quantities. The pistol is designated as a Mauser pistol. As for whether to use original imported goods or imitation goods, it will depend on the situation at that time.
The imitation goods here refer to the ones you make yourself. You will decide whether to use them based on performance and price. But one thing you should pay attention to is that the dimensions, specifications and even parts should be as common as possible with the original ones.
The benchmark version is the model that matches the accessories of each kit. It is best to choose the magazine type. You can also try the carbine type, which is the one with a long barrel. The performance of the ordinary model is too weak on the waterway.
As for the rifle, the tentative choice is the Mauser rifle. You don't need to take care of the gun, but you can be responsible for supplying ammunition, especially training ammunition, which will be needed in the near future.
In addition, ZH-29 has been selected as the backup gun type. Because the space on the ship may be relatively narrow, there is a lot of interest in changing to a shorter version. You can make preparations.
However, the reliability of the original gun is a very troublesome issue, so you have to set up a project to try improvements or even new designs. Of course, this issue is not urgent and does not require any results to be produced within a time limit.
In addition, we will also find ways to find more semi-automatic rifle samples or designs for you to use as references for this study."
Lin Mo first raised the issue of pistols and rifles, along with some plan descriptions. After everyone discussed it, they finally agreed on the aspects that were responsible for repairing the weapons.
"As for the machine gun, the light machine gun is set to be of the Czech type, but I personally feel that its firepower is a bit weak in terms of sustained firepower. I suggest that it be based on the Czech type and be changed to a belt feed..."
Lin Mo described the shape of the machine gun that could be loaded with a flip-up cover. He also mentioned the bullet chain. It was recommended to use a semi-detachable metal bullet chain, the kind that can hold ten or twenty rounds in a section.
The bullet chain not only ensures quick use, prevents the used bullet chain from interfering with shooting, but also facilitates recycling and reuse.
"...It is recommended to increase the rate of fire, or change it to an adjustable rate of fire. Please think of a way to see which one is feasible and feasible.
It is also recommended to shorten the gas guide stroke, design several barrels of different lengths, and design matching tripods.”
After Wu Liangdong listened, he asked: "Team Lin, do you have any opinions on the design of the tripod?"
Lin Mo nodded with admiration on his face. He was able to capture the key point so quickly and keenly. Wu Liangdong has made great progress. He must have worked hard in recent times.
"If the changes I just mentioned can be achieved one by one, then strictly speaking, this is no longer a light machine gun, but a general-purpose machine gun.
It is a light and heavy general-purpose machine gun that takes into account the convenience of a light machine gun and, to a certain extent, can also play the role of a heavy machine gun in suppressing fire for a long time and continuously.
The barrels of different lengths are prepared to better exert their respective effects. Of course, they are also more conducive to dealing with different battlefield environments.
For example, a long barrel can extend the range in outdoor battlefields, and a short barrel can facilitate maneuvering in narrow environments such as urban streets and buildings.
The tripod is naturally designed for converting into a heavy machine gun. Its long-distance continuous suppressive shooting requires a platform to provide better stability, but the shooting needs to be lighter.
On the ship, a fixed platform can be designed for mounting machine guns, but it is still a vehicle, and it does not hurt to prepare a few spare sets, so it is still necessary to make arrangements as soon as possible."
Lin Mo made this statement, and there was inevitably some noise underneath. Many people whispered to each other, showing great interest in the general machine gun mentioned.
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, people immediately asked questions, mainly about various details. Lin Mo was very patient and answered and answered them one by one, and also gave some reasonable suggestions.
For example, adjusting the amount of gas entering the gas pipe to adjust the rate of fire, rationally using the muzzle and buffer mechanism to reduce recoil, and then making the gun tripod lightweight.
“For a heavy machine gun, choose the Mark Mi. Although it is water-cooled, for marine police and boat users, they won’t mind the weight. It can run on the water and is not short of water.
Even on the ship, I will ask people to design a water supply system so that they don't have to think too much about replenishing water. You will communicate with you about related matters, such as adaptation, when the time comes.
Of course, Mark Mi is just a reference, not the original color version. The one planned to be used is also the German version of 7.92 caliber. The specific model is currently tentative.
Regarding this matter, you'd better consult the government. They may have relevant plans. Try to communicate properly and keep both parties consistent.
In addition, in addition to this caliber, you still need to develop firearms of other calibers based on Mark Mi to meet other needs of the boat in terms of firepower and power.
At present, I have initially selected three calibers: 12.7, 14.5, and 20. I can research the specific types of ammunition first to see if there are any suitable and applicable ones that are mainstream abroad.
If there is no suitable one, then make your own bullets. It doesn’t have to be too complicated. Choose a bullet with other calibers and excellent performance, and enlarge it in proportion. After testing, make slight adjustments according to the situation. Temporarily increase it first, and then optimize it later.
