253 The Type 79 semi-automatic sniper rifle with many flaws
"The surrounding environment, what do you think of what you see inside?" Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai, who was full of anticipation, pointing to the surrounding environment.
The Gun Research Institute is located in the northwest corner of the base, and is a separate courtyard house, and there is not even a street around it to connect to this side.
The northwest region was originally the earliest location of the base, and Xie Kai was very familiar with the surrounding environment of the base, and they didn't seem to notice the existence of this side at ordinary times.
"Prison!" Xie Kai thought in his heart, only prison was like this.
"To be exact, the place where the technicians who made mistakes at the base were exiled. My son, who was originally a young technician at the Gun Research Institute......" Zheng Yucheng took a deep breath of the cigarette, and the cigarette in his mouth burned a third of it at once, and then the ash was blown away by the cold wind.
Xie Kai was surprised.
It's the most secret thing about the base, right?
"But those old men, what does it have to do with this?"
"It turns out that they are not from our base. The young people here are all children of the base, in that era, you can't understand it, and you haven't experienced it, after all, you are too young......" Zheng Yucheng opened his mouth to explain to Xie Kai.
Through Zheng Yucheng's explanation, Xie Kai understood who the people in this firearms research institute were.
Those older ones do belong to experts, and they were the ones who Zheng Yucheng wanted to come back at the beginning. Some of the young ones are from outside, and some of them are the children of the base who rebelled with Zheng Yucheng's son, some of them are from the Firearms Research Institute, and some are not.
In that chaotic era, those experts not only did not prevent such a thing from happening, but even contributed to it, when the firearms research institute was not in this position, and had a full set of weapons and equipment production equipment, although they were all used by hand, they could also make firearms.
Dozens of 56 semi-automatics were manufactured in the research institute, and those old technicians did not report to the management committee, whether they were forced or took the initiative to help......
So, in the end, they got here, and the people on the management committee didn't have anything else but the tools to give them the tools to design the drawings.
This is the least popular group of people in the entire base.
"Can they do it?" Xie Kai couldn't comment on these, even if he had experienced a lot, in that era, no one could tell who was right or wrong.
Zheng Yucheng and they handled these like this, which is not bad.
Wages are still paid, and they don't care.
The only thing is to cut off their contact with other people in the base, and if they are handed over to the court to deal with, or even the military back then, their consequences can be imagined.
"There is no doubt about the technical ability. Especially those old guys, their research in the field of firearms is still good. Zheng Yucheng said.
Xie Kai nodded, knowing that Zheng Yucheng should be in a very bad mood now, so he didn't ask anything more.
The two left the Gun Research Institute and returned to the management committee, and after the two ate together in the canteen of the headquarters, Zheng Yucheng was going to do his own business, and Xie Kai was riding Zheng Yucheng's bicycle to the garrison to find He Chao and Yang Bin.
"You want a 79 sniper rifle, what are you doing here, there should be a base, right?" Yang Bin asked Xie Kai with a frown.
Xie Kai's request made them very difficult.
"Improve this sniper rifle. Xie Kai said without hesitation, "Even if there is a faulty gun, there is no problem." ”
"This is really there, there has never been a gun repair shop here, and the firearms research institute handed over to the base is working on it, you all know about these guns over there!" He Chao was afraid that Xie Kai wanted to play with guns before he proposed this, "Xie Kai, if you want to play with guns, we can take you to the shooting range." ”
"No, it's really just for research. Xie Kai said, "Director Zheng has been busy these days, and he doesn't have the heart to care about this matter, so he asked me to come over." ”
I asked Zheng Yucheng before that the base was originally responsible for the repair of weapons and equipment of the garrison regiment.
In the case of the firearms research institute, after a firearm malfunctions, the people over there are usually called out to deal with it elsewhere, and new weapons such as the 79 sniper rifle can only be accessed by a few veteran technicians.
They know about the 79 sniper rifle, there are no drawings, they don't know about specific technologies, not to mention others at the base.
"There are exactly three sniper units over there in the reconnaissance company that need to be repaired, and I'll send you back. He Chao thought about it and communicated with Yang Bin before saying to Xie Kai.
clearly didn't believe Xie Kai.
Xie Kai looked at him and nodded, "The guns you are equipped must be accompanied by your people, and I won't touch them." Even if I wanted to, I couldn't help it, would I? I had to get a bullet. ”
The army is strict about gun management, Xie Kai knows it, even if the other party is relieved to hand over the gun to him, he will not agree, let them arrange someone to accompany Xie Kai to send him back.
There are guns, and in the absence of bullets, that's no different from a burning stick.
He Chao asked people to take 3 broken 79 snipers and personally drove them to the base headquarters, and Xie Kai's bicycle was hung in the back of the car.
"Three sniper rifles? You guys are really good, it didn't take long to repair it last time, right?" Zheng Yucheng looked at He Chao, a little dissatisfied. "Your troops don't have much equipment for this thing, and they have to be repaired every once in a while. ”
"Director Zheng, this is also something that can't be helped. There was a problem with the quality of the previous production, it's not that we don't cherish it!" He Chao explained with a wry smile to Zheng Yucheng.
The 79 sniper rifle itself is an imitation product, and there were almost no modifications at the beginning of the finalization, and the processing accuracy and quality could not be compared with the Soviet Union, so it was normal for the products produced at the beginning to have quality problems.
It has not been tested too much, it is urgently needed by the front-line troops, and in the products that began to be manufactured, it is normal that the quality is not good.
This year the Type 79 sniper rifle will be reshaped, and the 85 sniper rifle will appear.
Xie Kai knew that even if the Eighty-Five sniper rifle appeared, it would not be able to be improved much, and the shooting accuracy at a distance of 400 meters was too poor.
It can also be used to equip armed police, and it is equipped with special operations forces, which is too demanding for snipers.
"What's the problem with these branches?" asked Wang Guilin.
"One of the firing pins was broken, the scope of one could not be locked, and another had a problem with the receiver part...... "A young cadre who followed He Chao explained the situation.
"If the firing pin is broken, you can replace it yourself!"
"After changing it several times, it is impossible to ensure that the reentry mechanism is completely consistent, and there should be problems with the entire reentry machine. The young cadre said.
Wang Guilin didn't know the specific situation, "Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to find a comrade from the Firearms Research Institute to come and have a look." ”
Xie Kai had not been in contact with it before, and he did not know that the base was also responsible for the repair of weapons and equipment of the garrison regiment.
I don't even know what's going on at the Gunsmith Institute.
It is estimated that these situations are not clear to them.
The three 79 semi-automatic sniper rifles on the table, from the outside, there is no problem at all, Xie Kai does not know anything about firearms.
Maybe this has a direct relationship with Zheng Yucheng and them.
If it weren't for him, the base wouldn't have touched the firearms research at all, and their original unit was also engaged in artillery and missiles.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to come up with a full set of drawings for avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles.
"Director Han, thank you for your hard work!" Soon, several neatly dressed cadres of the Firearms Research Institute came over.
As soon as they entered the door, He Chao greeted them.
Director Han is actually an old man who cuts cabbage at noon!
"Han Weidong, director of the Firearms Research Institute, participated in the Korean War and was originally a firearms repair expert. Wang Guilin didn't know if he had been instructed by Zheng Yucheng, and began to introduce a few people to Xie Kai.
Han Weidong and the others came in and couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Xie Kai also there.
didn't make a sound, and after greeting He Chao and a few others, he didn't pay attention to Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin, and walked straight to the sniper rifle on the table.
"That short and fat man is called Xiao Manzhi, and he participated in the design of the 56 semi-automatic rifle and the Type 63 semi-automatic rifle......"
With Wang Guilin's introduction, Xie Kai found that these old men are not small, and they all have rich experience in domestic firearms research work.
It's just not known what exactly mistake they made to get into the base.
"These guns are repaired, it takes two days. After the inspection, Han Weidong spoke.
I don't know if it's for Zheng Yucheng and others, or for He Chao.
"Director Han, we are not in a hurry. When He Chao heard that it would only take two days, he hurriedly said, "We still have a batch of Bayi over there that needs to be repaired, and someone will send it over later." ”
"This time it is not only necessary to repair, but also to renovate these guns. "The relationship between Zheng Yucheng and Han Weidong and others is not harmonious, nor is it too bad, anyway, He Chao and others don't feel anything abnormal.
Xie Kai knew the inside story, but he could feel the estrangement between the two sides.
"How to change it?" Xiao Manzhi asked with a frown, "These guns are all active equipment in the army, and it won't be useful if we change them." ”
"Deputy Director Xiao, Regiment Commander He, they are currently exploring the improvement of the combat capability of the troops. Our base undertakes the task of providing them with equipment for special operations. Xie Kai stood up, smiled at the old man and said, "You know the 79 semi-automatic sniper rifle, you know what is wrong, our task is not only to get rid of these problems, but also to make it more accurate." ”
"Can it be changed?" Xiao Manzhi looked at Zheng Yucheng.
"If your technology can be guaranteed, you can change it. After the change, it will be manufactured in small batches and various tests will be conducted. Funding is adequate. Zheng Yucheng said.
At the Gunsmith Research Institute, he said that the five million funds, material supply and machining facilities are completely open.
As long as they produce a map, the rest of the base will give full cooperation.
No more, as before, their blueprints will not have a chance to become a finished product, let alone enter the experimental process.
"If so, there's no problem. In the previous repair process, we found a lot of problems, and there are also drawings ......," Han Weidong said calmly, "These three guns can be used as test products, first modified like that, tested and then produced, and tested in various environments." ”
