In 1962, Huaxia completely cleaned up the Indian army, and legend has it that a division of the 13th Army actually "disappeared" on the map of its own general headquarters for a few days, and the Chinese side was a little anxious, and then...

The division commander, who was mistakenly called "Iron Second Pole", suddenly reported on the radio that the whistle of the New Delhi railway station could already be heard in the headquarters where he was at this time!

He also specifically asked: "Do you want to take New Delhi immediately?!"

the sky!

As a result, it is said that the division commander was scolded by the prime minister during a high-power radio audio call that had been transferred, and only then did the reluctant handsome army retreat to the country in a dashing manner.

Of course, the deeds of Lu (Guang) and Mang (Rong), the commander of the second pole division, can only be heard as a legend, but it is a historical fact that the Indian army was really defeated by the Chinese army at that time.

The two sides are not on the same level at all!

India's decision-makers have "woken up" and temporarily put in a little bit of arrogance about rushing out of the earth, and have been indignant and self-sublimated, and they also plan to comprehensively upgrade and transform the army's equipment.

A border war caused Ah San's front-line army to completely lose confidence in their small arms system consisting of Leinsfeld rifles, Stern submachine guns, and Bren machine guns.

The sophisticated equipment of the World War II level was completely outdated by the early 60s.

The Indian army envied the small arms system of the 56 Chong, 56 and a half and 56 squad machine guns in the hands of the Chinese army, after which its front-line troops quickly threw away the Lao Li rifle and replaced it with the FN FAL rifle, which was one of the popular trends in the West in the 60s.

Although the Indian version of the FAL rifle can only shoot semi-automatically, and it is obviously too powerful to meet the requirements of modern warfare, it can be regarded as a step with the times.

Especially in Kashmir, where the highland and mountainous environment is located, long-range semi-automatic rifles are still quite effective.

Soon, with the outbreak of the Vietnam War, the era of AK and M16 automatic rifles competing for the world's gun king began.

At this time, India's own production of FAL semi-automatic rifles was still in short supply, unable to meet the needs of all troops, so it had to buy and buy - the AK series was in the limelight on the battlefield in Vietnam, and at the same time, in several Indo-Pakistani wars, India was taught a hard lesson several times by the Huaxia-made 56 Chong in the hands of the old enemy.

What if FAL alone can't solve all the problems?

Buy!

It didn't take long for India to import three batches of AK series rifles from Bulgaria, Romania and Czechoslovakia, all of which performed well, but still could not meet the needs of all front-line troops.

At this time, I found that I couldn't solve the problem by buying it alone, and I had to have my own fist product: more than ten years ago, I made up my mind to start developing a new assault rifle, saying that it would be able to start large-scale equipment for troops next year.

The hope is beautiful, but the reality is cruel: the bullets used in the new small-caliber assault rifle simply cannot be produced in India ...

Even bullets can't be produced by themselves, as a big country, when the war starts, there are not enough bullets to import urgently?

Yes, the Indians will do such a nonsensical thing in a few years, and it will be just a small fight on the border.

The world laughed again: the bullets are out of stock, fight a hairy battle!

Buying guns, guns, and ammunition, the Indians have bought them for decades, and there are many models, but there seems to be no Simonov SKS semi-automatic rifle here.

In fact, in the 60s, a very small part of the SKS eliminated by the Soviet Union still appeared in India, but the number was not large and not very famous.

And last year, more SKS were imported to India as civilian firearms, and whoever made India not ban guns, as long as you have money, even semi-automatic firearms can be had.

The equipment of the Indian army is a world exposition, and its civilian firearms are even more complex, except for a few advanced, high-end, and small categories of goods, the richness can be compared with American civilian firearms.

India is the second largest civilian firearms holder in the world, and the United States is the first, with 200 to 300 million guns;

However, unlike the United States, where ordinary practical firearms are super cheap, in India, firearms belong to the rich, or the statused, people's game.

The single-barreled smoothbore shotgun produced by the small gunsmith in the workshop costs more than 100 dollars, and the double-barreled 200 is indispensable;

An ordinary small-caliber revolver costs three or four hundred dollars, an automatic pistol is a little more expensive, and if it is a semi-automatic rifle that uses a military rifle bullet, it will even be close to a thousand dollars!

The Indian government does not ban guns because it wants to make money from the manufacture, import, and sale of civilian firearms, and the price of these bullets is set at a higher price than the American market.

What is the average income of Indians today?

One in 10 people has a gun, which is more in line with India's population ratio of "rich, middle-class, poor, talking animals".

Almost all the rich people have guns, some have more than one, and in extreme cases, like the Varmar family, they have their own arsenals.

Not only did the Varma family have a lot of guns in their own homes, but there were also a lot of old retainers at all levels below, and even servants and tenants had guns in their homes.

Compared with the large proportion of "livestock" in the North Indian region, even the tenants of the Varmar family can be regarded as human beings, and they are not the kind of abject poverty.

In the Indian market where Eastern European firearms have appeared one after another in the past two years, Lao Valmar asked people to get a batch of goods directly from large firearms importers, which are in good condition and affordable.

The Tuwang family doesn't have any decent firearms to protect themselves, so can they still be called Tuwang?

Sure enough, Xiang Weirong and others were very satisfied with these SKS, which had been stockpiled for decades but were still brand new.

Hunting is not a war, there is no point in holding a fully automatic rifle, semi-automatic is enough, Xiang Weirong dealt with snow leopards and horses and bears more than ten years ago, 56 Chong was also a single shot.

56 is half easy to use, the same is true of SKS, when in the United States and Africa, Xiang Weirong, Guan Xingquan and others went hunting large animals, and their favorite was these two almost identical rifles.

Zhang Nan didn't bring his own shotgun this time, and used Mr. Valma's: The old gentleman is old, and he won't go into the jungle again this time, and his shotgun Zhang Nan uses it just right, and he is used to it.

Of course, it is customary to use the Austrian PETER HOFER handmade No. 12 side-by-side double-barreled shotgun for more than 200,000 dollars a shot, and the customization needs to be ordered 24 months in advance.

Zhang Nan booked more than a dozen in one go, except for Xiang Weirong, Guan Xingquan and himself, who were tailored in strict accordance with their figures, arm lengths and habits, the others were also customized according to their general height.

Varma's family gave two shots, Jia Yin's family gave one, Bollywood friends sent one, and several friends from the United States and South Africa, plus the Tswa Tuwang.

This girl is not only a gun, but also a work of art, used to hunt tigers, and those tigers are not buried in their identities.

As for what the tigers think, it is not within Zhang Nan's consideration.
