Chapter 498 Type 1907 Heavy Machine Gun
※, the individual equipment of the 6th Army of the National Royal Army can be said to be armed to the teeth, and the firepower of the automatic rifle is not enough. The firepower of the squad automatic machine gun also needs to be strengthened. In view of the... nephew automatic rifle can carry out continuous shooting. It is more appropriate to suppress local firepower during raids, but its loading capacity is too small, so the 6th Army put forward new requirements for this type of gun.
That is to increase the magazine capacity of the gun, replace the existing light machine guns and heavy machine guns, and build China's own gun family.
According to the new requirements put forward by the 6th Army, the 6th Army Firearms Engineering Department designed and upgraded and strengthened wound automatic rifles, which is the... machine gun.
Considering that... the continuous shooting of the fierce automatic rifle within a drop meter is amazing, but the lethality is insufficient at a hundred meters away. When it reaches three hundred meters away, the hit rate is sharply reduced.
Therefore, there are two solutions: one is to increase the caliber of the bullet and return to 7 mm again. However, in this way, the caliber of the ammunition in the army has increased the logistics supply pressure because of the many models of pistol bullets and rifle bullets. Another solution is to increase the charge. Because when the automatic rifle was originally designed, in order to ensure the hit accuracy, the barrel length was extended, so that although the ammunition charge was reduced by half, it could still have a higher initial. Therefore, there is no need to modify it significantly. Just extend the length of the bullet from concave millimeters to calcium millimeters, and increase the charge can be exchanged for the killing distance of the submachine gun. At the same time, there is no need to open a different barrel production line to save costs.
The reason for considering the production line is that Chinese automatic rifles have begun to be mass-produced and exported to almost the entire European country. All countries are stepping up their military expansion and preparation for war. Not only do the active rifles of the 6th Army need to be replaced. The reserves must also be considered. All countries are preparing for future wars. Once the war breaks out, the inventory of guns and ammunition in each country must be greater than twice the inventory, and it is still under the premise of having a production line. If there is no production line in China, the stored guns and ammunition must be at least three times the inventory.
Take Russia for example. In the past six years, the Russian 6th Army formulated a rifle reserve of 10,000, including millimeters of 10,000, and the old 6mm Yebodan rifle was 10,000, and the old 6mm Yebodan rifle was 10,000. Considering that the performance and cost of Russian rifles were far less than that of China exported to Russia's... fierce automatic rifles, the Russian side was preparing to use Chinese infantry weapons to replace Russia's existing equipment. However, Russia had no money and could not afford to purchase. Its own development was not up to standard, so Russia had to do so.
The country introduced production lines and prepared to produce them by itself. However, the Chinese government dragged them until the old year to start exporting Sichuan-Gu automatic rifle production lines to Russia. As a result, Russia spent a lot of money to invest in the production line, and before it could produce them, it exploded in the battle. In desperation, the Russian side had to continue to purchase ready-made weapons from China. In the end, Russia's weapons market was monopolized by China, and after the war broke out, Russia's entire treasury gold was mortgaged to China in exchange for China to provide Russia with a huge arms supply.
The large number of orders made the Chinese military unwilling to open a high-cost gun barrel production line, so the designers of the 6th Army had to design and develop new light machine guns based on existing components.
Improvements based on...the violent automatic rifle only need to improve the barrel trajectory so that the barrel can withstand continuous heat dissipation problems for a long time. Then increase the ammunition charge and increase the capacity of the magazine.

The biggest feature of this gun is that it has high reliability and lightweight, suitable for slightly thin oriental people. It also has good accuracy. The biggest disadvantage is that it loads on the top and hinders aiming and shooting. However, for the current military form, this gun has undoubtedly become the suppressive firepower of the squad and platoon infantry.
The next step is to improve the heavy machine gun. Since the rifle and light machine gun have been successfully tested for the air retreat and air-cooled layout, the bulky wheeled Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun currently in service in the Royal 6th Army of China can be improved.
Heavy machine guns mainly rely on long range and powerful to wield their terrifying firepower on the battlefield. This is enough to prove its power in the Sino-Russian War.
Although the Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun is very bulky and like a small cannon, this is OK for artillery, but for the Emperor Qin infantry, it is a big problem today.
Even if the wheels were installed, the infantry with two legs ran faster on the battlefield. Therefore, in the Sino-Russian War, the 6th Army of Emperor Qin always stopped advancing and waited for the heavy machine gun troops to follow before continuing to advance. In this way, the fighter planes on the battlefield were fleeting, giving the Russian troops a lot of breathing.
This is the biggest disadvantage of the bulky Maxim heavy machine gun. Of course, it is still very excellent for the 6th Army of the Emperor Qin. In the Sino-Russian War, the Maxim heavy machine gun defended the river defense line for the 6th Army of China, allowing the Russian team... Dong 2, China's main ten, not only saved the inappropriate war in the Northeast, but also Mao Qiu's headache, which was outstanding in his contributions.
At the same time, the Maxim heavy machine gun is also the support firepower of the Imperial Qin infantry troops, which is mainly used to shoot the living forces and fire points of the cluster. This is also one of the important reasons why the Imperial Qin 6th Army can use weak forces to attack the large-scale army group of the Russian army. Its gun frame has two uses: flat and high-fire, and the shooting accuracy is good. The effective range of flat shooting is Qumi.
The bullets fired by the Maxim heavy machine gun are like running water. They can be continuously fired within half a minute, forming a powerful firepower net. It can not only be used to overwhelm the enemy's firepower points and block the enemy's action routes; it can also kill group targets and support infantry charges.
According to the requirements of the 6th Army, Chinese designers must retain the great power and long range of heavy machine guns. When designing the use of ordinary guns, they still have a certain lethality at a distance of four meters. With special bullets, the range can reach the heavy machine guns equipped with Blade Mi Finger fighters, and of course they can also be used on the 6th ground. They still rely on large-capacity bullet ripples, and the gun frame can be adjusted to flat fire and high-fire high-fire targets in both states, and they can also shoot at the air. In fact, within the height of the field o-meter, heavy machine guns are very effective in attacking paratroopers and aircraft. However, the 6th Army of Emperor Qin did not expect to attack its own air force at this moment, because China dominates the air!
After the efforts of the designers, the Maxim heavy machine gun was completely replaced, the water-cooling system was removed, and the air-guided layout was replaced. In this way, the Maxim heavy machine gun was lost to more than kilograms, and there was no need to use wheels. A few soldiers could carry it and run on the battlefield.
The aiming device uses an optical scope, which has a high hitting accuracy at a long distance. It has added a grip and a muzzle flame suppressor. The original Maxim's barrel looks like a iron pass. The heavy machine gun after slimming considers the air-cooled layout and the smoke diffusion problem during continuous shooting. Its cooling system has been changed to a ring pattern to enhance heat dissipation. The supply method of ammunition does not use the bullet chain supply but adopts the bullet plate type.
The ammunition problem of heavy machine guns has always troubled the gun designers of the 6th Army of China. To ensure that the heavy machine gun still has a certain lethality of three thousand meters away, ammunition with a strong mm caliber is obviously not suitable, because although the trajectory of the bullet caliber is not easy to deflect at a medium and close range, once it reaches the edge of the blade force or a four-meter distance, the trajectory will be severely bent, which is a great challenge to shooting accuracy.
Therefore, considering the irreplaceability of heavy machine guns, the designers finally decided to use 7mm caliber long-distance ammunition to meet the military's requirements.
The appearance has changed. Because it has a flame suppressor installed, it also has a certain sound suppression effect, which makes the unique rattle sound of heavy machine guns look like a woodpecker and a tree.
Basically, the Maxim heavy machine gun has been unrecognizable. After all, it has not had any genes of the Maxim gun tribe. According to the idea of the 6th Army to drive China's own gun tribe, the designers finally directly abolished the name of the Maxim heavy machine gun and changed this new heavy machine gun to the Royal 6th Army of China...Ka heavy machine gun, abbreviated as Chen-type heavy machine gun or Woodpecker heavy machine gun.

The Zhouka heavy machine gun has been successfully developed and was immediately adopted by the 6th Army and ordered the arsenal to produce Chou Ting, and Li Hai was taken to the army for testing.
Soon, the test results came out.
This heavy machine gun feels very good, especially its weight, and it only has more than 30 kilograms after adding a tripod. The grip is folded, and several soldiers can completely separate it and carry it. In the shooting test, the optical scope used by the gun has a very high shooting accuracy at medium and long distances, which doubles the lethality of the heavy machine gun. At the same time, the installation of the flame suppressor makes the foot heavy machine gun not easy to be seen by the enemy when it opens in covertly, and at the same time, there is no muzzle flame, and the aiming of the shooter is very convenient. The actual combat performance of the gun is very high.
However, it also has its disadvantages. In order to better dissipate heat, the barrel has been equipped with an annular radiator, which takes some time to replace the barrel.
Considering the huge war potential of this heavy machine gun, the 6th Army did not announce it to the public, but ordered the arsenal to secretly produce and assemble the 6th Chinese Royal Army.
The imperial emperor Zhang Yunfei also issued a secret order to notify the 6th Army that the confidentiality of the heavy machine gun must be ensured and that the foreign army must not obtain information. At the same time, this heavy machine gun will be equipped with a large-scale assembly of the Royal 6th Army of China to ensure that the company-level combat units must be equipped with a foot-type heavy machine gun. Also, this heavy machine gun will be used as a strategic reserve of arms for large-scale production reserves for future wars.
…Although the Ka-style heavy machine gun was developed, it was not known by the European and American powers. It was not until the war broke out that the European and American power countries realized the huge war potential of the "gun". It could almost influence the direction of the war. They began to study this type of vertical machine gun, but by the time they came out, the war had ended.
However, even if there is no prompt from China, European and American countries are developing and designing their own machine gun weapons. This is mainly to improve the Maxim heavy-weight gun. Due to China's large-scale equipment...pro-type automatic rifles, this type of air-guided gun has become a popular research in Europe and the United States.
In fact, a long time ago, the first thing that appeared was not water-cooled firearms, but air-cooled firearms. It was just that the technology and conditions were immature and were forgotten by people. When China took out air-cooled firearms again, this concept was put on the agenda.
However, countries still have a special liking for Maxim heavy machine guns, so they try to modify them on Maxim, but the effect is not very good. At the same time, the teams of this era did not realize the mobile combat of heavy machine guns, but only placed the heavy machine guns in the position of defense warfare and trench warfare. Therefore, even if the weight does not decrease, it does not matter to the overall situation. Therefore, none of the countries have conducted special official project research, only private military enterprises and individuals are studying it.
The heavy machine guns of the 6th Chinese Royal Army were deliberately hidden, but the mortar used as a squad and platoon has been known to various powerful countries. Because of the portability and good shooting angle of the mortars, the 6th Chinese Army took advantage of the Sino-Russian War.
After the war, the Russian 6th Army began to study this weapon first. Because the mortars were simple in structure and Russia lacked money and could not afford more cannons, they were particularly concerned about this small cannon from China.
Due to the easing of Sino-Russia relations, Russia believes that it can compete with Germany and has begun to rely on Chinese standard weapons on the 6th Army. In a sense, Russia has recognized the strength of the 6th Army.
Especially after Russia obtained the Chinese Peng automatic rifle, it was deeply shocked by China's weapons. It was no longer unfair to think that the defeat of the Sino-Russian War was defeated. This is the gap in strength. Therefore, the Russian 6th Army tended to be the weapons and equipment of the Chinese 6th Army and began to imitate China's artillery equipment.
However, Russians seem to be born with large-caliber artillery, and the same is true for imitation of mortars. The Russian side instinctively believes that the larger the caliber of the mortar, the better the effect, or as long as the caliber is over China, it is a kind of glory.
Therefore, most of the mortars designed by the Russians are above the millimeter of the field. The most exaggerated thing is that at the end of the year, the Russians designed the world's largest caliber mortar "Snyder, a ignited year-style mountain mortar.
The shells of this gun weighed as much as kilograms, which were too bulky and had lost the meaning of carrying individual soldiers. It seemed to be similar to the gasoline barrel modified mortars used by the People's Liberation Army during the Chinese Liberation War. They were quite powerful, but their mobility was slower than that of snails and their battlefield survivability was too low.
It is better to build howitzers or cannons than to build such mortars.
However, the Russians were so funny, but others clearly realized the core concept of individual combat in mortars.
For example, after the Germans imitated China's mortar equipment after the Chinese New Year, they designed light-harm-damped mortars, millimeter-induced mortars, and millimeter-induced medium-sized mortars. Of course, the Germans are also admirers of artilleryism. The Russians' dementia also stimulated the Germans to a certain extent. Therefore, the Germans also developed a German version of the ""attack gun for Russian pounding millimeter mountain mortars.
However, when the Germans built this mortar, they immediately knew that its practicality was poor, so the Germans immediately stopped developing this large-caliber mortar, which was affected by the silly Russians.
However, interestingly, the French 6th Army seemed particularly interested in this kind of husband-caliber mortar.
France has studied several mortars, including the Dunian-style "anti-called" real-life gun, the Goose-style "mortar", and the mortar, and the mortar waiting.
However, the most slamming thing is that the development of the ","2 crawler heavy mortar was developed under the stimulation of large-caliber mortars from Germany and Russia.
The caliber blade has a long mouth and a double-caliber arc, high and low shooting range, horizontal shooting range, and the projectile is heavily cut and inserted, and the ammunition is initially drawn and the weight is more shrunk and the tractor is also equipped with a tractor, with the maximum range "inappropriate range".
The 6th Army of China scoffed at France's nerves. However, it was activated by the tracked heavy mortars that France had made.
The artillery of the Royal 6th Army of China used tractors to traction motors, and the French crawler mortars were somewhat similar to later car-mounted howitzers. However, the French crawler vans were obviously not as advanced as the Chinese crawler armored vehicles.
The Imperial Guards of the Royal 6th Army of China have armored vehicles. If the armored vehicles are combined with mortars, it will greatly enhance the mobility of the mortars and increase the number of ammunitions reserved for mortar shells.
To this end, the 6th Chinese military headquarters immediately proposed a new design concept, combining the existing tracked armored vehicles with mortars to design a new concept of vehicle-mounted mortars.
