The capital was once again lively. The biennial International Defense Exhibition finally slowly kicked off in the capital. For the Eastern powers, the second international defense exhibition held is already familiar with it.
Compared with the last time, the specifications of this International Defense Exhibition are quite high. Last time, it was mainly concentrated on the army's weapons. This time, a large number of weapons from the Air Force and Navy participated in the exhibition this time.
"The French, it's true." On this day, this idea came to countless people. Just two years ago, the French made a fool of themselves and made a very unpleasant mess. Later, the French took the opportunity to retaliate.
In Wushui Country, the originally stable weapon export business of the Eastern Power was delayed.
However, for the French, they would never give up this opportunity. After all, after the Eastern power opened its doors, they had already purchased a lot of French weapons.
The dolphin helicopter has been introduced and has become the helicopter of the Eastern power. It is currently under stable production. The 100mm naval gun displayed by the French last time was also featured by the Eastern power, as for various electronic parts, etc.
The French also exported a lot.
When doing business, what are you afraid of when slapping the face? This time, they have launched a larger variety of weapons.
The French booth is the biggest in this international defense exhibition!
, Sea Rattlesnake air defense missiles...a large number of radars, electronic equipment and engines, etc., are almost a French booth, which is enough for people to watch for a long time.
Louis stood inside the booth, looking at the people coming from outside, with a proud expression on his face. No matter where he went, France would become the leader and the most eye-catching object, just like now!
There are quite a few people below. Not to mention anything else, just that light weapon is enough to attract attention.
Since the Germans created the STG44 assault rifle during World War II, the Soviets have created the AK47 series assault rifle. Since then, assault rifles have become the most widely circulated light weapon in the world, and the structures are similar.
The back is the stock, then the gun magazine, the grip and trigger are below, the magazine is in front, and then the guard and barrel are in front, although the internal details may vary, such as the principle of the automatic machine, such as the magazine
The arc and so on, but the most basic style has been fixed. Whether it is the Soviet AK series, the American M16 series, or other guns, they follow this method.
However, the French have always been mavericks. After the unsupported rifles became popular, the French followed the trend and created their own unsupported rifles.
The traditional rifle, the butt stock behind it, seems to be a waste, causing the length of the gun to not be reduced. During World War II, the longer the rifle was, the better, but in modern times, it often had to fight in armored vehicles.
, when fighting in complex buildings and other places, when the gun is too long, it will become a burden.
The sturtle-free rifle was circulated at this time. From the appearance, its grip is in the front and the magazine is in the back, which greatly reduces the length.
It is not without a stock, it just combines the stock and the receiver into one, and directly treats the receiver as a stock. The receiver and the launch mechanism are enclosed in the huge stock, with the grip front and magazine
and the automatic machine are rear-mounted, thereby shortening the length of the entire gun while keeping the barrel length unchanged.
In the whole world, this kind of design has actually been around since World War II, but it has only emerged. Later, various trends continued to surge, and the sturdy rifles gradually began to become popular internationally.
The scale of use depends on France.
At this time, this small rifle became a highlight. Gaspar, the head of the St. Etienna Arsenal, personally demonstrated to the audience, and explained it very well.
"Our rifle is a major breakthrough in light weapons around the world. It adopts the structure of a stochastic rifle, which has the power of an assault rifle and the length of an approximate submachine gun, and is particularly suitable for combat use in narrow spaces and complex terrain conditions." Gass
Parr introduced to everyone, especially among the onlookers, many of them were soldiers from the Eastern powers.
The Eastern Powers need a modern light weapon. This rifle is one of their expectations, hoping to open up the market of the Eastern Powers.
The Eastern Power has a huge army, what a big market it is!
In the early years, the traditional equipment of the Eastern Power Army was relatively shabby. In an infantry squad, most of them were holding 56 and a half-automatic rifles that could not be shot continuously. Only the squad leader and the deputy squad leader would take it.
He rushed 56 as the charge firepower of the infantry squad.
When fighting with the south, it was discovered that the opponent had an automatic weapon with a semi-automatic 56 and a half, and it quickly fell behind. Only then did the troops start to use 56 to rush, which made up for the lack of firepower.
After all, 56 rush is just a copy of the AK rifle. The light weapons of the Eastern Powers urgently need to be replaced. Not to mention anything else, small-caliber rifles have long been popular all over the world. When the Eastern Powers are still using 7.62 mm
When it comes to caliber, the West has already started to use 5.56mm caliber bullets in full, and the Soviets even used 5.45mm caliber ammunition. The Eastern powers can only catch the last train of small-caliber weapons.
However, they developed very slowly. So far, they have not determined what caliber to choose. Instead, they have changed the old rifle and become the Type 81 to use it. However, the Eastern powers must need small-caliber rifles.
!
Therefore, taking advantage of this east wind, while the Eastern power turned to a small caliber, it also updated its rifle to this unsupported rifle, just in one step!
Even if the Oriental Powers produce it themselves in the later stage and purchase tens of thousands of them in advance, it would be good.
With such expectations, Gaspar's introduction was extremely hard.
"To reduce the weight of the entire gun, we use a lot of light alloys and plastic parts..."
