The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 83: Crushing a Generation of Famous Guns

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Then let's just start testing the gun?"

Zhang Hongwei rubbed his hands and said, "I can't wait any longer."

"Then why don't I just use the Type 56 and this modified Type 56 to fire a few shots and see how it goes."

Zhang Hongwei asked someone to send over several boxes of 7.62mm bullets and a Type 56 submachine gun.

The 56th charge has not yet been popularized to all grassroots companies.

However, in the front-line troops, it has always been treated as a treasure.

Zhang Hongwei first picked up the 56 submachine gun and calibrated it, and then began to shoot at half-body targets from 100 meters away.

Obviously, he is more familiar with 56 rush.

For a sharpshooter, even if the recoil of the gun is a little large, he can still hit the target every time after adjustments.

Zhang Hongwei first fired a shot in a standing position and hit the 10th ring accurately.

Afterwards, he fired one shot each from a kneeling position and a prone position, and all of them hit the target accurately.

Wang Haoran applauded Zhang Hongwei and said, "Comrade Hongwei is indeed a sharpshooter who never misses a shot! When you used the Type 56 submachine gun, did you feel it had any flaws?"

Zhang Hongwei thought for a moment and said, "Overall, it's a top-notch gun."

"The recoil is a bit strong, and the muzzle jumps up a lot when firing continuously, causing it to miss the target."

“Everything else is good.”

Wang Haoran said: "Our modified gun has improved the two defects you just mentioned to the best of its ability."

"Just give it a try."

Zhang Hongwei nodded. He picked up the improved version of the Type 56 rifle and said, "This improved version of the gun is much lighter, which is a good thing."

Then he checked the gun again.

Then he said, "I'll shoot him first and see what his temper is."

As Zhang Hongwei spoke, he raised his gun and fired at the target.

"boom!"

The gunshot rang out, and this shot hit an 8 ring.

Several people watching on the side sighed.

This modified gun only scored an eight-ring in the hands of a sharpshooter like Zhang Hongwei?

What does this mean?
This means that its shooting accuracy is not enough!

However, those who really know the business did not change their expressions much.

After Zhang Hongwei fired the shot, he nodded, gave Wang Haoran and Ge Qiangjun a thumbs up, and said, "The recoil is indeed much smaller, which is rare!"

"Don't think that this shot missed the target. It's mainly because I'm familiar with the temperament of the Type 56 submachine gun and know how to adjust my shooting posture to be more accurate."

"And I knew nothing about the gun in my hand, and I subconsciously adjusted my posture according to the temperament of the 56."

"Next, it should be able to get full rings."

As Zhang Hongwei spoke, he fired a bullet in each of the three shooting postures of the 56 submachine gun just now.

All hits hit 10 rings!
After Zhang Hongwei stood up, he said with a smile on his face: "This gun is really better than the Type 56 submachine gun!"

"Let me try again with the burst."

Zhang Hongwei turned on the continuous fire and fired a short burst at the target, firing 5 bullets in one go.

"Da da da da da-"

All 5 bullets hit the target accurately.

And they are all in the bullseye!
"Wow!"

The people watching nearby began to applaud Zhang Hongwei's wonderful performance.

Zhang Hongwei nodded with a smile on his face, then he picked up the Type 56 submachine gun and fired a burst of bullets.

This time, although Zhang Hongwei tried his best to control it, most of his shots still hit the center of the target. The most deviated shot only hit 2 rings, almost missing the target. Then, Zhang Hongwei put down the Type 56 rifle in his hand, his face full of excitement: "Not bad! Not bad! This gun is well modified!"

"The accuracy of the point shooting is amazing!"

"Even the fact that he can accurately hit the target with bursts of fire is much better than the 56-shot attack!"

Ge Qiangjun breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he felt a little complicated.

He himself was a little shocked.

He really didn't expect that this modified model is actually much better than the 56?

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Comrade Hongwei, have you noticed that the barrel of this gun is also longer than that of the Type 56?"

Zhang Hongwei nodded and said, "I noticed that."

"This suggests that its range may also be longer."

"If the effective range of the Type 56 rifle is 400 meters, then the effective range of the new gun must be farther, right?"

Effective range refers to the distance at which shooting accuracy can be controlled.

Most rifles are accurate within 400 meters.

However, the Type 56 is still lethal within 1500 meters.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "My suggestion is: you can give it a try."

Zhang Hongwei began to test the effective range of the new gun.

As a result, he found that the effective range of this new gun could reach 600 meters! This can be used as a sniper rifle.

This new gun still has good lethality within 2000 meters.

After trying it, Zhang Hongwei said, "If a scope is installed, I think it should be able to accurately strike targets at least 800 meters away!"

"Teacher Ge, Comrade Haoran, you are really productive!"

"You just came up with a small-caliber automatic rifle not long ago, and now you've designed a gun that's even more powerful than the Type 56 submachine gun. On behalf of all my comrades, I'd like to express my gratitude to you!"

"My suggestion is that this gun should be reported as soon as possible. It would be great if it can be approved and become a standard weapon."

"Comrade Haoran, I'm going to say something that may offend you. I think this new gun may be more suitable for the troops."

"However, small-caliber rifles do have their advantages. At least they can carry more bullets, which can ensure more powerful firepower."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Comrade Hongwei, in fact, I think so too!"

"Small-caliber rifles can be kept for future use! But I think that small-caliber automatic rifles are more suitable for actual combat use, and their lethality is not much less than that of 7.62mm bullets."

Zhang Hongwei nodded and said, "Both guns are excellent!"

"But if I have to choose one, I still think this 56-stroke modified model is better."

The 56-stroke facelift test was a great success!

It even stabilized the 56 rush.

This is an amazing achievement!

On the way back to school from the shooting range, Liu Xianchao said, "Teacher Ge, Haoran, the second gun you jointly developed is also very powerful. My suggestion is that you should write a final report immediately and report it to your superiors."

Ge Qiangjun nodded and said, "We will write a report when we get back."

After returning to school, Ge Qiangjun and Wang Haoran went to write the final report.

Liu Xianchao returned to his office. Unable to conceal his excitement, he called Wang Cunxian, the head of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

Liu Xianchao reported that Ge Qiangjun and Wang Haoran had teamed up again to develop a modified version of the 56-stroke engine, and after testing, the modified version had better performance than the 56-stroke engine.

Wang Cunxian was a little skeptical when he heard it.

Because the Type 56 submachine gun is actually an imitation of the legendary AK-47!
They actually made a gun that is better than the Type 56 submachine gun?

After listening to the report, Wang Cunxian immediately ordered people to take away two of the sample guns made by Wang Haoran and others. Wang Cunxian wanted to organize the verification personally!
