Chapter 47 Middle Power Bullet
The reason why Wang Xuexin is interested in the m1 carbine is that it can be said to be the pioneer of modern assault rifles...
More generally speaking is Hans' stg44, because the stg44 is an assault rifle of practical significance.
But in fact, the first person to have the awareness of assault rifles was Hawkshop.
The reason why Ying Jiang developed the m1 carbine is that the power of the bolt pulling or semi-automatic rifle that is commonly used is now over-multiple, with a range of six or seven hundred meters at every turn, and the effective range of the Springfield rifle even reaches 800 meters.
(Note: The effective range means that the rifle can maintain the stability of the ballistic at this distance, and its scattering area is within an acceptable range, and can effectively hit the target)
But this effective range doesn't make much sense.
At a distance of 800 meters, even if an enemy who is 1.7 meters tall is standing completely, it is equivalent to looking at a thin iron wire at a distance of 1. Even if you install a sniper lens, it will be very difficult to hit the target.
What's more, most battles occur within a distance of 500 meters.
The conclusion drawn from this is that the bolt-action rifle is overpowering.
It cannot hit the target, and there is almost no real demand. The disadvantage it brings is that the recoil is large, so that the rifle cannot be fired continuously... For bolt-action rifles, the rifle that can be fired continuously is a machine gun, which usually cannot be held in the hand and fired at the enemy with a "da da" (except movies, TV).
Then why do you need this kind of gun and bullet?
To be more precise, isn’t it enough to leave this kind of gun and bullet to machine guns and sniper rifles?
Isn't it meaningless for ordinary soldiers to use this bolt-action rifle?
On the other hand, the pistol has an effective range of only 50 meters, which is used for defense and self-defense, and the range of the charge machine gun is only more than 100 meters...
After thinking about this, there is a huge firepower gap between the range of more than 100 meters and the range of 800 meters.
When fighting, too many soldiers need to endure the recoil and low firing rate of a rifle with a range of 800 meters to shoot targets ranging from 300 meters to 500 meters.
So the concept of modern assault rifles was developed: reduce the power of the bullet and make its range of about 500 meters. Because the power is reduced, the recoil is reduced, and the rifle can be continuously fired to reach the maximum fire output.
This is the so-called intermediate power bomb.
The m1 carbine is basically produced according to this idea. The problem is that its bullet has too much power and has a range of only more than 200 meters, so it is called a "quasi-intermediate power bullet".
From this perspective, although Ying Jiang has no combat experience, due to the development of industry and technology, she is still in the world's leading position in the design thinking of weapons and equipment.
When Wang Xuexin got the m1 carbine, the first thing he thought of was whether to tell Sun Erwei these things and remind the Eagle Sauce to produce intermediate power bombs.
But after thinking about it, Wang Xuexin still swallowed what he wanted to say.
First of all, it is because Hawk Sauce itself does not have much demand for assault rifles.
The reason why Hans was able to produce the stg44 was because its standard rifle was either a bolt-action rifle or a submachine gun, and the huge gap in the middle was not filled with any equipment, so there was a great demand for assault rifles.
But Hawk Sauce...
m3 Garland semi-automatically barely fills the gap in insufficient firepower.
The m1 carbine fills the gap in defense and self-defense capabilities.
In addition to the machine gun configuration in the Eagle Sauce Force, and the enemy's positions were usually bombarded with artillery before the war for several days and nights... Do you still need to worry about the problem of insufficient rifle firepower?
More importantly, it is actually Wang Xuexin who has selfish intentions.
If Ying Jiang had the automatic rifle, would they use it next to resist the U.S. aid Korea?
You should know that in history, Eagle Sauce still used m3 Garland, m1 carbine and m3 submachine guns called butter guns when fighting against the U.S. agitated Korea.
If this is done with an automatic rifle... all these equipment can be eliminated.
Because the automatic rifle has the range of a rifle, the rate of fire and firepower of a carbine and a submachine gun, it is perfect only if you need to use a few sniper rifles and squad machine guns.
On the other hand, if the assault rifle is produced by Eagle Sauce, it is also a thing like the m16. This thing is difficult to maintain, has low safety, and cannot be fired at any time, making it not suitable for the Chinese army.
Therefore, whether it is for the present or the future, it seems that Hawkshang cannot prepare the assault rifle in advance.
Then Wang Xuexin thought of the hairy bear...
The assault rifle that Mao Xiong produced is an AK47. This thing is simple to maintain and has high safety. It is one of the guerrilla artifacts and is very consistent with the environment and tactics of China.
If this thing can be made in advance... the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness will be improved to a new level!
So Wang Xuexin didn't think much about it, and got up and went to find Androvic.
This should have been asked to Lemonrokov.
However, Lemonlokov was ordered to return to Chongqing, and before leaving, he handed over the contact matter to Androvic.
Major Lemonrokov told me this: "Captain, you may know something about Comrade Battalion Commander?"
"Which aspect are you referring to, Major?" Androvic looked casual.
Androvic is not disrespectful to major Lemonrokov, but that he is a consultant, is very popular in the Independent Regiment... Last time, he drove a t34 and showed off in front of the Eighth Route Army, running into the Japanese tank group alone and killing all directions, which made the Eighth Route Army tank soldiers take him as a model.
After this battle, let alone Wang Xuexin and Li Yunlong, even the leader personally sent a telegram of thanks to Androvic.
All of this has benefited Androvic and a group of hairy bear consultants, who have found the feeling of being needed and valued here.
Therefore, Androvic was more casual when answering Wang Xuexin.
"But of course!" Androvic then replied confidently: "He is my friend, Major! I know everything about him!"
"I mean his bazooka!" Lemonrokov criticized with an unhappy expression: "Give me seriousness, comrade Captain! If you know the situation of the country, you should know that the bazooka he invented has played a big role in the country. We used this equipment to destroy many enemy tanks, and the enemy had no choice but to do with it!"
"Yes, Major!" Androvic stepped forward and replied.
After Lemonlokov said this, Androvic found that what he did in China seemed to be worth mentioning.
Therefore, I should be thanking Wang Xuexin rather than the Eighth Route Army for thanking him.
"Same equipment!" Lemonrokov continued in a stressed tone: "Just just one equipment has changed the domestic situation. Therefore, we cannot miss any opportunity to make a transaction with the battalion commander. This is another task for you as a military adviser. This is the order given to you by the general, do you understand?"
"Yes, Major!" Androvic stepped forward and saluted: "For the motherland, ensure the completion of the task!"
Chapter completed!
