Red Alert 1895

"This Chinese Type 1 general-purpose machine gun was designed according to the method you mentioned, Mr. Wang. This general-purpose machine gun not only has a tripod and a bipod, which correspond to heavy machine guns and light machine guns respectively. And this general-purpose machine gun not only has the range of a heavy machine gun, but also has a long range. , and has a relatively powerful ability, and it is also light and easy to carry like a light machine gun. The bullets used by our machine gun are the same rifle bullets as the Zhonghua Type I rifle, and they are both 6mm caliber bullets, which are our uniquely designed bullets.”

"This kind of bullet is not only lighter, but also allows soldiers to carry more. Moreover, the recoil of this kind of bullet is not so strong, so it is easier for our soldiers to use. Our Easterners are weaker than Westerners in physique, so we use small-caliber bullets. Rifle bullets are not only cost-effective, but also more suitable for our oriental physique. However, this kind of slender small-caliber bullet has a good braking effect. Once it is hit, the enemy will be in trouble, and the bullet will roll in their body , and then the damage was very heavy. Therefore, if any part is hit by our small-caliber bullets, even if it does not die, it will be crippled."

Hearing how fierce this kind of bullet is, Wang Guorui also shuddered a little, because this kind of small-caliber rifle is actually more wicked than the previous kind of bullet. Although that kind of large-caliber bullet can injure the enemy, as long as it doesn't hit the abdominal cavity, it hits the hands and feet and there are no large or medium bones, then the wound may not be too fatal and can be cured. But this kind of bullet is different. This kind of bullet is easy to roll in the body, and then it is equivalent to tearing off a large piece of your muscle. In this way, you can't bear this kind of pain at all, and you even have to bear the amputation after treatment. So it is not the worst thing to lead soldiers to die on the battlefield, the worst thing is actually those who did not die on the battlefield. But soldiers who are disabled or left with diseases are the worst. And this kind of bullet is specially made for this kind of soldiers, even if they don't die, they will be disabled and lose their combat effectiveness.

"Well, I'm being kind. I don't have to use Da. Mu bombs, so this is nothing!" Wang Guorui comforted himself in his heart.

Anyway, Wang Guorui was considered kind. It's a good thing he didn't use the notorious dahm rounds. If it is some black-hearted ones, directly use Damu bullets to deal with the enemy. This is very cruel. At present, although dum bombs have been invented, there is no real large-scale war in the world at present, so the reputation of dum bombs is not notorious, but very plain. Not having any reputation.

However, Wang Guorui then took the initiative to ask: "How far is the range of this Chinese general-purpose machine gun?"

"The effective range of this Chinese Type 1 general-purpose machine gun is about 600 meters, which is not too far. Once it is fired beyond 600 meters, it is as likely to hit the moon." Huang Dongcheng said.

Wang Guorui didn't have much opinion on the shooting range within 600 meters, because this is a machine gun used by infantry, not a professional anti-aircraft machine gun. There is no aircraft invented in this world yet, and you don't even think about using machine guns for air defense. And even in later generations, ordinary light machine guns are rarely used for air defense. Air defense is carried out with professional anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. If ordinary machine guns are used for air defense, it must be a drop in the bucket. Get twice the result with half the effort.

Moreover, on the daily battlefield, the actual effective range of the rifle is only within 200 meters. Although the range of the rifle scale is more than 1,000 meters, in fact most of the shots are between 100 and 200 meters. In fact, this machine gun doesn't need too much, as long as it has a relatively accurate range of 600 meters, it doesn't need too much. As for six hundred meters away. That's a complete waste, this one is a machine gun. Not a sniper rifle. Since the invention of machine guns, accuracy has not been used as a selling point, so the accuracy of machine guns does not need to be too much, as long as they can fire bullets that suppress the enemy.

As for air defense, professional anti-aircraft machine guns will definitely be developed in the future. Such ordinary machine guns are generally not used for air defense.

"Then, how many parts are common to the Zhonghua Type I general-purpose machine gun and the Zhonghua Type I rifle just now? Didn't I tell you to find a way to design the method of the gun family? If you use the method of the gun family to design, then definitely There are many good effects. So, let’s see if there is any way to make their parts common, so that the effect is the best.” Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui once suggested that these designers adopt the method of gun family popular in later generations to design. Guns in later generations are often a family of guns, not a single gun. That is to say, a combination of rifles, machine guns, and assault short rifles. They are very similar in appearance, and many parts can be used in common. According to Wang Guorui's understanding of the highest state of the gun family, the highest state of the gun family is to splice such a bunch of parts into a rifle, and then splice it into an assault rifle. This is like a child building blocks, through some pre-made building blocks, and then building them into houses, bridges and many other things.

Of course, this gun family still has a long way to go if they want to reach the highest level, even if it is the case in later generations. Because it is impossible to achieve 100% universality of parts, it is almost impossible to achieve 100% of parts, at least not in the early 21st century. And as ordinary infantry gradually withdraw from the battlefield, perhaps this idea is impossible to achieve.

"Thirty-three percent of the parts of this Chinese-style gun family can be used interchangeably. This can allow soldiers to train as quickly as possible, and can save some training costs. It can also allow soldiers to become familiar with the gun as quickly as possible. Every part of the gun can make them familiar with the functions of these parts without having to learn repeatedly. Of course, the best advantage is the fastest part exchange on the battlefield. If the parts of the general-purpose machine gun are broken, you can use a Replace the parts of the rifle in time without sending them back to the rear for maintenance, which can ensure the continuity of firepower. And when the parts are produced in the rear, there is no need to open up another production line to produce other parts, so we can also avoid A lot of questions." Huang Dongcheng said.

Wang Guorui nodded and said, "We can then consider starting to build a firearms factory to produce these firearms."

"Lord Wang, but..." Huang Dongcheng hesitated.

"Is there a problem?" Wang Guorui asked.

Huang Dongcheng immediately said: "There is no problem, that is, the production cost is relatively high. Each gun costs hundreds of silver dollars! And this general-purpose machine gun costs three to four thousand silver dollars."

"So expensive?" Wang Guorui muttered.

"So, Mr. Wang, let you import it from outside. Our current industrial strength is not enough to produce this kind of too high-end rifle. I am afraid that even if it is produced, the cost will be very high!" Huang Dongcheng said.

Wang Guorui thought for a while and said: "No, we still need to establish it. We must establish our own firearms production factory. You are afraid that no matter how high the cost is, we must establish it. Because we cannot rely on outsiders for a long time, we can only rely on Develop weapons and equipment with our own ability. Although our industrial strength is not very strong at present, I believe we can catch up. We must make people familiar with the production of firearms and let them learn to produce firearms. It is better to let personnel wait for equipment , and don’t let the equipment wait for others. Therefore, hurry up and produce these firearms for me, and then we can start work as soon as possible. Although the cost will be higher at the beginning, it should be regarded as our tuition for training talents. Otherwise, if we If we don’t prepare, one day our industrial strength can keep up, but we find that we don’t have any weapons manufacturing talents, which is a tragedy.”

"Master Wang is wise!" Huang Dongcheng immediately flattered him a little.

"Well, I'm going to order a large batch of these rifles right now, to replace the rifles we currently use~www.readwn.com~ These rifles will be arranged to replace those rifles we currently use, these rifles are specially designed for us in the East It is designed by people. And it has completely independent intellectual property rights, so there is no need to worry about any intellectual property issues. This intellectual property issue has always been a huge problem, if it is not taken seriously. Only weapons with completely independent intellectual property rights are truly belonging to the our own weapons."

Wang Guorui only realized the importance of independent intellectual property rights after traveling, especially in military equipment, which has an incomparable role. If there is no independent intellectual property rights, it is easy to be controlled by others. At that time, even if you want to use other people's weapons, you have to authorize others. As for what to say about the authorization fee, how can there be such an easy thing in this world, especially the thing between countries. If your country is strong, then you can naturally get rid of it relatively easily, but the price is that your own domestic scientists' research and development enthusiasm will be hit, which is not worth the loss. If you are weak, then don't try to let it go, and you will be fined by various means, then you will be miserable. At that time, if it weren't for Taiwan's army with tens of thousands of firepower against the sky, the Germans believed that the gain of Taiwan was not worth the loss, and they were willing to exchange several new weapons in Taiwan, which made the Germans authorize the production of Mauser rifles.

Well now, with my own rifle, I can guarantee that this rifle will not become obsolete within 20 years. After all, this is an automatic rifle. At that time, as long as the speed machine is disassembled, it can become an automatic rifle. (to be continued)
