Section 22 The fifth person in the North American helm
Shi Niaoren went to the United States the next day. As for what weapons to purchase, there were so many opinions that he couldn't decide at the same time. The North American people said that they would wait for their news before taking action. Anyway, it is not advisable to store weapons for too long before departure.
It’s too late to buy again in a few months.
For the people on the Executive Committee, the current discussion does not satisfy everyone. Many people feel that they are stuck in their throats. As for why, they cannot explain clearly. Several options do not seem to be in line with their own preferences. If it is discussing military weapons, although
I haven’t played it, and everyone knows a lot about it, and there are many people who can tell one thing after another. But the civilian version of weapons is completely at a loss for the majority of urban otakus. There is no theoretical basis for talking about it, and it can even be said that
It's a smear of darkness.
Jiang Ye has been staring at everyone on the executive committee, including Xi Yazhou, every day these days, lobbying everywhere to promote his package of weapons plans: semi-automatic rifles + bolt-action Mosin-Nagant rifles. President Wen was moved by what he said, and for a while he still
I went to look up the information on the 38-year-old Gai - this thing has a bayonet and can be used to create a gorgeous spear array. However, a group of people in the sports team did not want to continue the revolutionary tradition of pulling the big bolt. His activities among the masses did not get much recognition.
Please support me - the people still like weapons that can "strafe". They don't care whether it is an automatic rifle or a submachine gun, but they are determined not to do it with a bolt-action rifle - this thing makes people feel insecure.
Unexpectedly, within a few days, I received an overseas call from Dr. Shi, saying that there was another member of the North American community, and that he would come back to China immediately to talk to everyone about weapons. Speaking of this, Bi Xiaorui played with guns.
There are many more, and he knows the civilian weapons market in North America very well. He is an owner who has fired cannons on the ground and flown horses (mustangs) in the sky. His experience made everyone awe, and they didn’t know who he was. Most people thought he was a god.
You must have a muscular, muscular man.
Unexpectedly, when he was brought back to the base, he turned out to be a handsome young man with a slightly oily appearance. Everyone was a little disappointed, and more doubtful about whether Dr. Shi was reliable in what he said.
The visitor claimed that his surname was Lin and Shenhe, and that he was a firearms enthusiast. Thanks to the decadent and backward American empire, he had not only played with countless famous and unknown firearms in the United States for many years, but also fired the Norden aircraft and the Napoleon 12-pound bronze cannon.
He made it himself (of course he participated in the production). He heard a group of military fans around him drooling. After hearing the executive committee's introduction about guns, he smiled leisurely, leaving everyone confused.
When Xiao Zishan saw his smile, he couldn't help but think of Zhuge Liang's smile played by Tang Guoqiang on TV. Unfortunately, no one nearby said in a joking manner: "Why is the military advisor laughing?"
"Don't you know about the civilian weapons market in North America?" Lin Shenhe spoke in a low voice but spoke very clearly. "Civilian weapons are actually very different from military weapons, and their performance depends on the factory," he said
After a pause, he continued to explain, "For example, the AR-15. Everyone knows that it is the civilian version of the M-16. We know that it cannot fire continuously and is a semi-automatic rifle. In fact, various large and small profiteers in the American market produce civilian products.
It is very cunning and cannot be compared with the ones held by American soldiers. The AR-15 barrels, those competition-type precision barrels, are another matter. Even ordinary ones, there are many that are not even chrome plated.
"Another example is the civilian version of the M-14 M1A recommended by Xi Asia. It is produced by the famous Springfield Factory. Many people like it. In fact, its receiver is precision cast, unlike the M14 that was under military contract back then and was hammer forged.
casing. In comparison, the M-14 produced by our northern factory has a hammer-forged casing, but the quality is not very good.
"It turns out that the profiteers of Midi rely on the U.S. military to make money by advertising and produce fake and inferior products to deceive the working people of Midi?"
"It's not a lie. The market for civilian guns in North America is huge, and people from all walks of life and incomes have demand for it. This is different from military orders. So there are companies that simplify the process and make low prices, and there are also companies that make high-priced products. That's it.
For example, for the civilian version of the M14, the lrbarms one has a forged receiver, which is much more expensive than the one from the Springfield factory. Anyway, anyone with any income can find what they think is the most cost-effective."
After Lin Shenhe's introduction, everyone realized how complicated American civilian guns are. They all couldn't help but stand in awe.
"What about your opinion on weapon selection?"
"Well, it depends on the executive committee's demand for weapons. Regarding the choice of semi-automatic rifles, I agree with the leader's opinion - the environment we are facing is best to choose semi-automatic. There are 200 semi-automatic rifles.
It’s enough to handle any complicated situation at the beginning.”
"We don't have any objections. The problem is choosing which semi-automatic to use has become a difficult problem."
"If we talk about better cost-effectiveness, SKS is indeed very good. The retail price is only 400 US dollars, and the North American m43 ammunition is very cheap, suitable for large-scale installation. Moreover, the stock of this gun is very sufficient, and it is easy to get it when buying in large quantities.
.”
"Didn't Xiaorui say that Mosin-Nagant is only 80 US dollars a piece? You can buy 5 of them for 400 US dollars!" The bolt-action rifle party still persisted. "And the bullets are cheaper."
"Which of you has ever used a Mosin-Nagant?" Lin Shenhe had an all-knowing smile on his face, "Among the bolt-action rifles, the Mosin-Nagant's bolt is the most difficult to open. It is said to be the most difficult to open.
It’s stuck in the foot. And the bolt-action rifle requires a lot of practice to develop combat effectiveness.”
"Then you can choose other options...such as Lee."
"It's not impossible. But in my opinion, the bolt-action rifle will be a good piece of equipment for the indigenous troops in the future. Those of us who travel through time will be more confident if we have better equipment."
"I am still opposed to the weapons of the Warsaw Pact system." Xi Yazhou continued to insist on his theory, "The life of the entire gun is too poor."
"Oh, that's not necessarily true. Warsaw Pact weapons are indeed very poor. The key depends on where they are made. As far as I know: in the North American civilian gun market, all AK series produced by Russian izmash and other factories are cold hammer forged guns.
The barrel and chrome-plated rifling have a service life of more than 80,000 rounds. The ar15 series only uses cold hammer forged barrels for the hk416. The ak series produced by arsenall in Bulgaria has a barrel that is said to last more than 15,000 rounds. This is what I got from the American arsenal agent before.
.”
"Then let's buy a lot of AKs! And we can change them to automatic ones!" the AK party members began to be arrogant.
"I more agree with Xi Yazhou's idea, at least some semi-automatic rifles that use full-power bullets." Lin Shenhe praised again unhurriedly, "Considering the needs of combat, Team Leader Xi's idea is quite
Comprehensive. This is not about the range, but that the full-power bullet has a certain penetration into old-style houses and is also very advantageous in dealing with enemies in the bush. This ability is needed to penetrate areas with dense vegetation."
…
After some brainwashing by Lin Shenhe, the deceived executive committee finally chose a hybrid plan:
A small number of Russian-made AK semi-automatic rifles using 7.62mm Nato bullets: saiga-308 are used as special weapons for military personnel.
The SKS semi-automatic weapon using M43 bullets is used as a weapon to pass through the militia. Although the SKS has slight flaws in performance, the advantage is that the ammunition is very cheap. It is not as expensive as the 7.62mmnato bullet. After all, economy is also a consideration.
The SKS proposed by Lin Shenhe is SKS-D. The advantage of this model is that it can use AK magazines, which means it is no longer limited to its own 10-round magazine limit. The firepower sustainability has been greatly improved.
"As for the pistol, the M9 is just a look-alike. It's better to choose the Glock. It's cheap and plentiful. American police officers love it. The price is less than $50."
Lin Shenhe took advantage of the victory and changed the pistol originally ordered by the Executive Committee to a Glock. Although the M9 was handsome, the Glock was just as cool, so there was no objection. However, the procurement ratio dropped from the majority to the minority. Automatic pistols were only equipped in small quantities.
Most military professionals use SW revolvers instead. Revolvers are more suitable for inferior reloading bullets.
Then Lin Shenhe made many suggestions: If you want to purchase a large number of Russian-made 4x optical sights - if you want the rifle to be able to exert its long-range shooting function of more than 400 meters, the sights are essential. There are also
A small number of high-power sniper sights are used as equipment for snipers.
"Also, we can purchase various light weapons in small quantities and in various varieties, which can be used as a blueprint for future reverse imitation, or at least as a reference."
During this discussion, everyone in the sports team except Xi Yazhou remained silent. However, after the meeting, several people proposed to go to the shooting club to shoot a dozen M-14s to experience the role of full-power ammunition.
"Okay, you can arrange this." Wen Desi looked at Xiao Zishan, "If there is such a 308, arrange for everyone in the sports team to play it and get familiar with the feel."
How to send money to the United States has become another problem. These 200 rifles alone cost 100,000 US dollars, and it is obviously not possible to exchange it at the bank. Fortunately, Wen Desi has recently opened many companies to cover the flow of funds, one of which
With the right to import and export trade, he sent a few kilograms of gold in containers by exporting electronic products.
"Do you really trust Dr. Shi and Lin Shenhe?" Xiao Zishan asked Wen Desi once while walking on the playground.
"If you don't believe it, what can you do?" President Wen asked him, "Our weapons can only rely on them, there is no other way."
"That's true." Xiao Zishan was silent.
"To be honest, our entire operation is based on mutual trust," Wen Desi took a deep breath, "If you and Wang Gong didn't trust me, how could you go through the wormhole with me? These people
If we don’t believe we have a wormhole, why would we come here? Forget about those people who left, if we can’t trust their promise to keep it secret,” his face turned cold, “we should…”
Xiao Zishan shuddered: "Be careful what you say!"
"Well," Mr. Wen nodded, "How is Xi Yazhou doing lately? Is he in a mood?"
"No, besides, his claim has not been completely overturned. It seems that he even drank with that Lin Shenhe. Several people went there, and the atmosphere was quite lively. That Lin Shenhe has a lot of practical experience and is also a talented person.
"
"Well, what about the other people in the sports team? What do they think?"
"I think we are making a fuss out of a molehill and it is unnecessary." Xiao Zishan smiled bitterly. There were more and more family members under his command. From the chats of the family members, he could know what many people thought. "In their opinion, it is good to have a gun.
Everything else is nonsense. So they don’t have any opinion on which gun to use.”
"That's good, everyone needs to be more emotionally stable. To be honest, everything is fine now, everything is fine, but I'm afraid that after this passes..." Mr. Wen still didn't finish his words.
"With a sharp weapon in mind, a murderous intention arises."
"Not bad, especially since everyone has guns..."
"Do we still have to have a way to manage firearms and ammunition?"
"Yes, there must be. At least in the long run, there must be."
"But this is actually a technical detail. If we look at the big picture, we still need a complete political system. In other words, there must be a political program, guidelines for action, etc." Xiao Zishan said.
"Well, so we should have a complete system... a constitution?"
