Chapter 178: A Few Things at the End of the Year (A)

The New Year began in a few days, and the employees in the factory basically had a holiday. Although the order has not yet been completed, it is almost there. Therefore, the factory leaders of the B17 factory were not particularly anxious, so they gave everyone a holiday in advance. This year has been very busy, everyone is working hard, and these Jiang Chen and the leaders in the factory have also seen it. So Jiang Chen mentioned it in the Standing Committee, but he didn't expect to get the support of the big guys, so it was implemented smoothly.

However, there is another department in the factory that has not been on holiday, and that is the technology research and development center in charge of Jiang Chen. This is that the task of the R&D center is very heavy, and there are several R&D projects, which are very urgent. For example, this bazooka project, the above is very urgent, and they put down their words, saying that if we can't do it, we will find someone else. The leaders of the factory also gritted their teeth and patted their chests to promise this, so Jiang Chen did not dare to slack off here. These two are the few projects that Jiang Chen cares about. This one is an optimization and upgrade of the original BZ82 gun family, which is not only a requirement of the military and foreign military users, but also a suggestion of civilian arms dealers in the United States and several countries.

This requirement of our military and foreign armies is to focus on the shortcomings of this military after use, and then upgrade and develop a new and better firearm system. Of course, there is also an advantage to this, that is, if the newly upgraded firearms arrive at the field tests of the various users, they will consider increasing the order. Jiang Chen and they will definitely be very happy about this, because if this is the case, then they will have another production order for next year. This civilian firearm is actually different from military firearms, and the biggest difference may lie in automatic and semi-automatic. In order to limit the power and scope of use of civilian firearms, many countries have stipulated that only semi-automatic rifles can be used. Although Jiang Chen provided these countries with semi-automatic, after all, it was directly transformed from military funds, and it was not specially designed. So this time, these weapons dealers asked Jiang Chen to develop a special civilian model. And having said, there is no need to consider the cost, only the quality is good, and the price is not a problem. Jiang Chen is also happy to see this, the price is high, and the more money they make. So why not. To this end, Jiang Chen also specially ordered a variety of equipment from home and abroad to increase the production process of firearms and increase the value content of goods.

This two is for the cottage, yes, you heard it right, it's a copycat. Now Jiang Chen has some patents on firearms, of course, the most important thing is the patent for this guide rail system. Several people have this patent, so why can't Jiang Chen make good use of it. For example, Jiang Chen added guide rails and other accessories for individual combat on the 56 punch 2 type (Tito), such as laser sights, such as quick-aiming white light sights. For example, a flashlight. Another example is this snatch-up grenade launcher that was originally modified from the old American M79 40mm grenade launcher. However, this modified snatch-mounted grenade launcher has now been officially produced in the factory after actual surveying and mapping. And it has been welcomed by many customers, making the sales quite considerable. For another example, Jiang Chen transformed the old American M16 into an M4 assault rifle with a guide rail after Jiang Chen's 'design'. Jiang Chen didn't have any guilt or weakness in this regard, and he had already modified many firearms at this time. And I had a lot of fun.

This third is the grenade launcher mentioned above, although it is only a replica now. But Jiang Chen wouldn't let it be like this. In fact, Jiang Chen already had a goal in mind, and had already organized a special R&D team to carry out research and development work. Jiang Chen has two expectations for this, the first of which is to develop an automatic grenade launcher. This automatic grenade launcher will dramatically change the way operations are fought on the front lines, and is a perfect fit for the southern Xinjiang army that is now fighting highland warfare. Jiang Chen had been there on the spot, so he knew the actual situation there. In positional guard battles, because of the minimum firing distance of the mortar and the distance outside the grenade. Basically a dead end covered by artillery fire from our army. If you have this automatic grenade launcher, you can fire a large number of grenades into this area in a short period of time to suppress enemy attacks. Since it can only shoot straight targets like firearms, it has a certain lethality against some enemies hidden behind cover, so it is especially suitable for defensive or offensive operations there. And Jiang Chen also told the leaders there about this when he was in southern Xinjiang. With their strong support, Jiang Chen and the others had to develop this weapon and put it into actual combat as soon as possible.

The second thing about this grenade launcher is to develop the famous sniper gun in the world. Every time I think of this, Jiang Chen always drools. Previously, because there were no conditions, the project was never launched. Now that the conditions are there, and the accumulation of technology in all aspects also has a certain reserve, it is the most suitable to develop this big killer, and I am more excited to think about it. The two sides engage in a sniper battle, with one side having a normal sniper rifle and one holding a sniper gun. What a fun thing it would be.

This third item is actually the large-caliber sniper rifle that Jiang Chen has been looking forward to. Although it is only a few millimeters more, the difficulty has increased several times. First of all, there is the problem of firearm materials, and the materials in different positions also have different requirements. This barrel, for example, had to be made of hard, high-carbon steel. But as you know, our country has always been a short board in the development of this special steel, and sure enough, after Jiang Chen's contact, he found that this is really the case. He contacted several steel companies, but the samples they sent still did not meet Jiang Chen's requirements. Because the 12.7 large-caliber bullet is fired, this means that the bullet has more propellant, which produces more kinetic energy and multiplies the pressure on the barrel. The speed of the bullet is faster, which means that it corresponds to the increased wear and tear of the barrel trajectory. So if there is no hard material, the rifling of a barrel may be smoothed out in a few shots. And the chamber pressure is an important factor to control whether the bullet accurately hits the target, if this is gone, then the accuracy of the gun is gone.

There is also the problem of the strength of this gun body, which is also a difficult problem that cannot be ignored. 12.7 large-caliber bullets, which means that the bullet has more propellant and thus produces more kinetic energy. This also means that its recoil will be stronger, and its force on the body of the gun will also be stronger. How to enhance the mechanical strength of the gun body on the premise of reducing the weight of the gun body is also a thorny problem in front of Jiang Chen and them. (To be continued......)
