"Is this... the power of the cavity effect? I... I can't believe it." Stalin said cautiously.
"Now, you have reason to believe that one bullet can actually twist the deer's internal organs into paste. However, if you fire 30 rounds in a row, in fact, only ten rounds can completely smash all the internal organs, ribs and belly of the deer. That's it.
The opponent was a ferocious black bear, and the result was the same."
"Ah! Can you explain it in detail?"
"Yes! This is the result of the cavity effect! Although it uses a Mosin-Nagant barrel, the rifling threads inside it rotate more violently, so after the bullet comes out of the chamber, it rotates faster." At this point, Yang
Mingzhi felt that it would be difficult for Stalin to understand him if he spoke too many professional words.
He thought for a moment and explained the result in a simple way: "The bullet rotating at an alarming speed pierced the deer's skin. As the bullet rotated, it also caused the muscles near the wound to rotate accordingly. The huge force directly tore the deer's intestines, stomach and other internal organs.
crack!"
"Wow! This effect is equivalent to a small bomb?" Stalin asked in surprise.
"The results are similar. In fact, if the bullet we choose has a flat head, the killing effect will be even more amazing. However, the range of the bullet with a flat head will not be very far."
Stalin nodded: "That's enough. The bullet developed by Comrade Simonov actually has such an effect. It seems that it is the best bullet for killing the enemy! One bullet can destroy the enemy's internal organs?!"
"That's right. You see, you have completely beaten this deer into pieces."
The deer carcass was really a mess. Looking at the sticky scarlet objects on the ground, Stalin shook his head regretfully with a disappointed expression: "It seems that it is definitely not a good ammunition for hunting!"
Here, Stalin had many years of hunting experience, as did Voroshilov.
The matter also goes back to the Tsarist Russia period. Due to the long-term armed attacks against Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia intermittently gave Stalin seven exile sentences. In 1914, Stalin was exiled again. This time, he was forcibly taken to Kule in central Siberia.
Ika region.
The so-called Kuleika area is named after the river. The Kuleika River finally merges into the long Yenisey River, and the water finally flows into the Arctic Ocean. The climate environment here is exactly the same as that of Novosibirsk, and what’s even crazier is that
, in the vast Siberian region during the Tsarist Russia era, cities were built around railways.
Stalin's place of exile was in the primitive coniferous forest. In order to survive, Stalin was forced to become a hunter. He obtained shotguns from local Yakut hunters, hunted for meat, and sold the furs to local merchants.
, and then use the exchanged money to buy bread to eat.
Similar to Stalin's experience, Voroshilov also had a lot of hunting experience.
Neither of them are young now, but when they sit together, they sometimes talk about what kind of shotgun to use when hunting, or what kind of ammunition.
The original purpose of hunting was not to starve to death. When Stalin was a hunter, he just wanted to survive. Only after he gained power did he regard hunting as a form of entertainment.
In terms of hunting and entertainment, he was really not as enthusiastic as Voroshilov. The reason was that the life of a hunter was too painful for Stalin.
Therefore, those who opposed him were either taken to Lubyanka by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for trial, trial, and execution, or they were transported by train to Siberia, so to speak, allowing them to taste the pain they suffered when they were young.
Hunting is one thing, killing enemies is another.
Stalin did not tell Yang Mingzhi about his bad experience when he was young. Now, he held the gun and muttered: "It is by no means a good gun for hunting, but it is definitely a weapon for killing enemies! I think our army can be fully equipped
it."
"Ah!? You already recognize me?" Yang Mingzhi was immediately elated.
"No!" Stalin shook his head and then asked Voroshilov: "Do you think it's okay?"
"Of course it's not enough." Voroshilov was really shocked. Once Stalin fired nearly a hundred bullets in a row, his face turned red and he looked relaxed. With Berekov's new gun, he could rejuvenate himself.
?Secondly, the deer carcass was too miserable. In his opinion, only the 12.7mm Deshka heavy machine gun could produce such an effect. However, it turned out to be a masterpiece with a smaller bullet of only 7.62mm.
Ustinov took a few steps forward: "Comrade Stalin, that's not enough! According to our country's regulations on infantry light weapons, they must undergo a rigorous test. The fifty-meter target can only explain limited problems. We still have
We need a 100-meter target, or even a 400-meter target.”
"He's right." Voroshilov came closer, "It seems that Belekov's new gun is indeed better than a submachine gun. Whether it really has the performance of a machine gun, it has to hit at least four hundred meters away.
Target. If it doesn't work, I think Comrade Berekov's work is the best submachine gun."
Yang Mingzhi did not feel uncomfortable with Voroshilov's words, and they even made some sense.
For a long time, the name definition of Soviet light weapons has been quite simple and crude. Therefore, when the submachine gun first came out, the Russians simply labeled it as "portable machine gun" with only two words. The crude naming method still exists to this day.
As for the AK47 imitated by New China in that dimension, that is, the 56th Charge, it also uses the old name of the Soviet Union and is called a submachine gun.
Of course this is not the case at all.
"Even submachine guns are better than what we have now." After muttering, Stalin thought of the disgusting things he did two years ago.
The Finns' Somi submachine gun simply explains what a "portable light machine gun" is. After the Soviet army suffered a big loss, Stalin ordered Deggarev to come up with a submachine gun with better performance than the Somi. The order was well implemented, Bobo
The German submachine gun was born. Since then, its heavily modified version of the Bobosha is coming off the production line at the speed of producing canned meat.
Stalin fully agreed with Voroshilov's opinion. The new gun was definitely an incredibly powerful submachine gun. Stalin also understood Berekov's crazy ambitions. Whether the new gun could replace the technically mature DP28, he had to see with his own eyes.
Convincing shooting range results.
In the end, whether new guns can replace them, the People's Committee for National Defense will hold an impromptu meeting to decide on this important issue.
The fifty-meter target experiment came to an end, and the mutilated carcass of the deer was also dragged away. As for the blood stains on the cement floor, soldiers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs carried water pipes and began to wash them again as soon as Stalin and his party left. The blood stains on the ground quickly disappeared.
All that remained was a fist-sized bullet hole in the wall.
The leader and the dignitaries all left, and the soldiers who remained had their eyes widened.
Obviously they were small bullets, but the good guy used a dagger to dig out the bullets in the wall, which further verified how small the bullets were. But such a bullet not only "exploded" the deer carcass, but also the wall.
It left a big hole.
If Simonov, Tokarev and others had stayed and studied the craters in the wall, they would have come to many surprising conclusions.
However, they did not miss anything. Yang Mingzhi, carrying a machine gun and a modified squad light machine gun from an assault rifle, was about to prove his firearms and talents.
Now, Yang Mingzhi, who was wearing military uniform, was lying on the dry grass. A new target had appeared, which was a human-shaped target located 400 meters away.
Talking about the current Yang Mingzhi, his dexterous figure lay on the ground, with his legs in military boots spread wide apart. The elbows of both arms were pressed against the grass, his right hand was pressed against the trigger, and his entire left forearm rested on the butt of the gun.
His imagination was that of an experienced rank-and-file machine gunner, not a general.
Stalin was very surprised by this, while Voroshilov simply found the feeling he had when he was young.
Beria didn't care at all how amazing Yang Mingzhi's body was when he was lying down. He only cared about whether a small intermediate-power bullet could hit a steel target four hundred meters away. After all, Beria
Cove has already boasted a lot, and this man's self-confidence is almost arrogant.
Look at the target 400 meters away. It is a human-shaped target, cut from a single three-millimetre steel plate. The overall size is only equivalent to an adult man who is 1.8 meters tall.
Beria was very familiar with these shooting ranges under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, such as one whose training depth was as long as one kilometer.
Yes, the shooting range has the hardware conditions for training snipers.
After all, they are the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and their training intensity is of course higher than that of ordinary troops. In their daily training, using a rifle to hit a target of 400 meters is a required course. However, the training requirements of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not as strict as those of the Japanese army.
Seriously, the Soviet army does not need all soldiers to be sharpshooters. Beria himself believes that if ten bullets can hit five of them from a distance of 400 meters, it is considered a pass. Even so, it is much better than ordinary troops.
Beria said nothing. He would wait and see. If Berekov personally achieved good results, his follow-up plan could be implemented.
What are the senior leaders of the alliance thinking? Another group of old guys who have specialized in firearms research and development for thirty years don't care at all. In fact, they have the same attitude as Beria, they just want to see whether Belekov can hit such a distant target.
.
"It's a bit far-fetched. Teacher, I think he is very lucky if he can hit one out of ten shots." Simonov stood next to the elderly Fedorov, clearly not optimistic about the 400-meter test.
"You developed the bullet. Are you still worried about your bullet in the scene just now?"
"This...I am indeed a little worried. What if!" Simonov said worriedly, "Well, even if it hits the target, I guess the bullet will not be able to penetrate the steel plate at all."
"Maybe he will succeed." It was Tokarev who spoke.
"Oh? Are you so sure?"
"why not?!"
"you……"
Simonov and Tokarev have always had some conflicts in the research and development of firearms. They were about what kind of semi-automatic rifles the Soviet army should equip. Simonov's project was rejected, and Tokarev's svt40 was successfully equipped with troops. Because
In this matter, Simonov often scolded those who reviewed firearms for being too arbitrary.
In fact, when Simonov noticed the appearance of the new gun provided by General Berekov, it had a straight receiver, and he instantly thought of the SVT40.
Does Tokarev just want to go against me? Is this necessary?
Simonov did not speak rashly, but Tokarev reminded him: "Yesterday we carefully inspected the sample gun provided by the general. Did you notice such a detail? The general actually optimistically marked the scale to one thousand!
"
"Yes, I know."
"I think he did not mark it casually. He claimed from the beginning that the positions of the numbers etched on the ruler were the result of rigorous mathematical calculations. Maybe General Berekov had already done this at the beginning of this experiment.
It succeeded. I'm afraid they have done many experiments in Novosibirsk, but we don't know about it. What happened today was just a reporting performance for the leader."
"Performance?" After thinking about it, Simonov couldn't help but laugh. Perhaps, as Tokarev said, Berekov had a reason for his confidence.
Fedorov made two noises to indicate to others not to speculate.
"You two, you'd better bring your telescopes first. We can get basic conclusions by taking a closer look at the dust raised by the impact point."
Several well-known experts dare not draw conclusions. They are simply spectators for the time being. After seeing some dust, they can make a rough judgment on the ballistics. A good gun must have excellent ballistics, and the 400-meter
The distance can basically verify the true accuracy of the firearm.
Overall, several experts are very optimistic about the prospects of the new gun.
Ustinov is also an expert. Why doesn’t he know the significance of the 400-meter target shooting experiment?
He walked into Yang Mingzhi who was lying on his stomach. Regardless of the final inspection and debugging work that was going on, he immediately asked worriedly: "Comrade Berekov, please be careful. The leader is watching you."
"Yes, I will hit the target accurately."
"I just want to remind you of this. You should know what kind of target it is. Please pay more attention to it."
"It's just a thin steel plate, only three millimeters thick. Simonov's steel-core bullet has armor-piercing capabilities, and its lethality within four hundred meters is unquestionable."
"You...are you so sure?!" Even after reading some reports, Ustinov still felt that the lying general was so confident.
"I'm sure. After all, I have staked my future, and now I have no way out."
"You... are really... you are really a madman, a confident madman." Ustinov patted his forehead, then stood up and said: "I hope you can succeed."
So, Yang Mingzhi is really very confident now?
Bah! How could his heart not be beating wildly? Even for an ordinary machine gun, shooting at a target four hundred meters away is a huge test.
What is tested here is not only the firearm itself, but also the shooter's physical and psychological qualities.
Physical fitness is very important, especially shooters need to have good eyesight.
It is a pity that the eyesight of most soldiers is not outstanding. Even with the development of the times, in the 21st century, many countries have to lower their vision requirements in order to recruit enough soldiers.
