Chapter 883: Concern for the G36 Assault Rifle
In Changping, the capital city, at the Research Institute of Light Weapons, a jeep stopped at the door, and the driver greeted the little soldier outside the sentry box. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After being released, the jeep drove into the research institute, and finally stopped in front of the automatic weapons research room, and Xu Xianqin, deputy commander of the 38th Group Army, got out of the car, holding a "light weapons" magazine in his hand, and walked in.
Xu Xianqin didn't say hello to anyone, and when he saw that there were many people in the design room, he said directly to everyone: "Can anyone tell me that this gun was designed by you?" ”
When everyone saw Deputy Commander Xu coming, some stood up and asked, "Deputy Commander Xu, who are you looking for?" ”
Xu Xianqin held up the magazine, only to see a picture on the cover, three soldiers of the People's Liberation Army who had been baptized by fire, each of them holding an advanced assault rifle in their hands, this gun was very different, just like a science fiction product, which attracted the attention of many people.
He put the magazine on the table and said loudly: "This is the magazine hosted by your 208, this gun has been on the battlefield, why didn't we **** receive the news in advance!" ”
At this time, Duo Yingxian stood up, looked at the cover of the magazine, and introduced to Xu Xianqin: "This is a G36 assault rifle, designed in China, we sent a batch of southern Xinjiang for actual combat testing, due to the small number, it has been tested in the institute before, so it has not been announced." ”
Xu Xianqin didn't understand that the factory of the 208 Institute was very powerful, and it could also contact several advanced light weapons processing units in China, why did they still say that the number was small, he said: "No, I'm **** in Bao. Last year, our army's reconnaissance unit fought in Laoshan, and now other units have taken the lead. ”
Duo Yingxian's face was embarrassed, and he said: "Actually, G36 was not designed by our research institute, and the manufacturing is not in the institute, but it was designed and manufactured by a foreign-owned enterprise. ”
Xu Xianqin was surprised: "How is this done, foreign businessmen can also make guns, which company is so capable?" ”
Duo Yingxian said: "The designer's name is Lin Qiangsheng, who is an overseas Chinese, and he founded a company called Dongxing in Bencheng. It is said that this company has cooperated with the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and has ordered domestic communication satellites, which is very powerful. They produce weapons in small batches, provide them to us in small quantities for testing, and give the rest to the Ben Cheng Women's SWAT Team for use, we have reported this to the authorities, but there is no news from the above, and now this is the situation, no one cares. ”
After hearing this, Xu Xianqin thought about it, the company that can buy domestic satellites must not be ordinary, and he said cautiously: "Whether it is overseas Chinese or foreign-funded enterprises, it is not possible to manufacture weapons in our country. ”
Duo Yingxian nodded helplessly, this is equivalent to saying it in vain, the top doesn't speak, and the people below don't want to make trouble.
Xu Xianqin asked again: "Then can you copy this assault rifle now, I think its technology is not lagging behind foreign countries." ”
He clicked on the cover of the magazine, and he could feel the advanced nature of this gun from the appearance, the G36 used a lot of composite materials, close to the appearance of Western firearms, and the appearance was exquisite, which was very different from the rough AK gun family. There is also a magazine introduction to the performance of the G36, which is excellent in all aspects, and this gun is undoubtedly an epoch-making weapon.
Duo Yingxian looked at everyone, it seemed that he was the only one to answer this question, and he was still a person who had personally been to Bincheng and contacted Lin Qiangsheng.
He said: "There is no problem with imitation, but we are stuck in the technical patent, the designer has applied for a patent abroad, our imitation is infringement, this is very difficult to do, China's light weapons are also sold in the world." ”
Xu Xianqin said in surprise: "This is a strange thing, who asked him to register the patent first!" ”
Duo Yingxian said: "People are foreign businessmen, of course there is this convenience. ”
Xu Xianqin went all the way to protect this seemingly powerful weapon. Ding rushed to BJ, and he asked unwillingly: "What about this gun, is it an assault rifle that can be used in actual combat, and can it be equipped with a large number of troops?" And you didn't communicate with the designer to see if you could produce it? ”
At this time, someone took a real gun and handed it to Xu Xianqin, Duo Yingxian looked at G36 and said: "After actual combat testing, we still found that there are some problems with this gun, such as the original technical and tactical actions to be changed, and the maintenance of G36 is more complicated, its butt adopts a hollow design, and the steel bone is wrapped in engineering plastics, and the butt is very easy to be damaged in hand-to-hand combat, which is not as strong as the traditional wooden butt."
In addition, the G36 also had serious quality problems, and we found that it overheated the barrel after short-term overuse, which caused the plastic parts of the rifle to soften. Slight changes in the barrel and receiver led to a noticeable decrease in the accuracy of the gun at ranges of 200 meters. We learned through testing that the plastic materials used in the production of Dongxing Group are prone to deformation under high temperature conditions, and the result we came to the conclusion that this gun uses excessive plastic parts and a light barrel, and the design of the gun itself is problematic! ”
Xu Xianqin looked at the G36 assault rifle repeatedly, and said after a while: "Looking at the real thing is indeed a good gun, it's a pity, so can you solve these problems you said?" ”
Duo Yingxian: "Unless a better alternative material is developed, this problem will be difficult to solve, but this gun also has advantages, its accuracy and portability, artificial efficiency are very good, the design is excellent, it belongs to the real third generation of assault rifles, which our research institute does not deny." ”
Xu Xianqin nodded and said, "I'll try this gun, I can't go home empty-handed, let's see if it's what you said, this gun is very light!" ”
Duo Yingxian: "Deputy Commander, this gun is 5.8mm caliber, using a lot of composite materials and aluminum alloy materials so it is light, although it is very advanced, but I still insist on my opinion, this gun is not suitable for a large number of troops now!" ”
Xu Xianqin was noncommittal, he felt that Duo Yingxian seemed to have an opinion on this gun, and the two came to the shooting range in a jeep, and after a while, Li Weiru, the director of the research institute, also rushed over.
Xu Xianqin loaded the magazine, first came to a 100-meter target shot, and found that the accuracy of the G36 is indeed very high, with an optical sight is higher, and then there was a triple shot, followed by rapid fire, after changing four or five magazines, it was found that although the barrel of the G36 was very hot, it was not as serious as Duo Yingxian said, and the barrel was overheated and any gun could not avoid it.
Xu Xianqin was very fond of the G36 and said to Li Weiru: "Director Li, this gun is very advanced and has reached the international advanced level. ”
He is one of the few generals in the People's Liberation Army who understands modern military theories and is good at using modern weapons.
Li Weiru glanced at Duo Yingxian, who was disapproving, and then said to Xu Xianqin: "In 84, I once took this assault rifle to participate in the Nuremberg Light Weapons Fair in Germany, and the G36 won unanimous praise from the participating merchants, and the German weapons experts evaluated the G36's advanced technology and reached the highest level of international firearms. ”
Xu Xianqin said with interest: "So is it possible to overcome its shortcomings and improve it, do you have any plans?" ”
The whole army has always been the first to be equipped with advanced weapons, Xu Xianqin considered that perhaps the newly formed special forces could be equipped with this new assault rifle.
Li Weiru said: "Lao Duo should introduce to you, we think that if we use heavy-duty barrels, improve composite materials, and use engineering plastics made of polyamide instead of polyethylene, then we can greatly improve the performance of firearms, and we think that the improvement can be mass-produced." ”
Xu Xianqin laughed and said: "That's good, I'll rush back to the military headquarters immediately, report this matter to the chief, and equip the special forces with a batch of new assault rifles, and order 3,000 first." ”
Duo Yingxian smiled and shook his head, and said, "This gun is very expensive!" ”
Xu Xianqin was about to refute, but thinking of the gun that someone had just helped introduce, he suppressed his anger and asked, "How much is one?" ”
Li Weiru took over the conversation and said: "We also asked Dongxing Group about the cost of this gun, because this gun uses a large number of composite materials and aluminum alloy materials, the cost of each gun is more than 500 yuan, and the cost is difficult to reduce." ”
Xu Xianqin said in surprise: "It's so expensive, Bayi Bar is less than 100 yuan, this one costs 500 yuan, what about 3,000?" ”
He was secretly speechless, and silently calculated in his heart, 3,000 new rifles cost more than one million yuan, where can this be equipped!
(Some say the cost of the 95 rifle is 300, some say 500, and some say the state cost price is around 1500 yuan.) Considering the rise in prices, the cost of the G36 in the 80s should be about the same. (To be continued.) )
