After training, Meng Jianguo called Zheng Yingqi aside and asked:

"You've always said that precision shooters are the role of providing precision shots to infantry squads at medium and long distances, what is your definition of medium and long range?"

This question is now related to Meng Jianguo's training syllabus, and at the same time, Meng Jianguo has other ideas.

"The effective range of the 81 bar is 400 meters, but generally speaking, the range of exchange fire of an assault rifle is about 300 meters, which is what we call close range, and at this distance, most veterans can hit the enemy. The distance of 300 meters to 600 meters, let's call it the middle distance, as long as there is a scope, the trained shooter can basically shoot accurately in this area. Meng Jianguo talked about the reason for his inquiry:

"Take the 85 sniper in my hand as an example, the effective range is 1,000 meters, but after more than 600 meters, it is not just a simple aim, but beyond 1,000 meters, there will be more factors to consider. To put it simply, it is very difficult to train a group of riflemen who can shoot accurately within 600 meters, but if you want to shoot accurately within 600 to 1000 meters, the training is extremely difficult, and it is also very related to personal factors. ”

The effective range of the 81 bar is 400 meters, but the lethality is still terrifying after more than 400 meters, and even at a distance of 1500 meters, the 81 bar is still lethal, but this can show that the user of the 81 bar can accurately hit the enemy thousands of meters away?

Of course not!

The farther the bullet flies, the more it is affected by the resistance of the air, the wind speed, the direction of the wind, the humidity and gravity - this is why snipers are difficult to train, not all people can easily calculate these figures!

Zheng Yingqi thought for a while before saying: "Actually, I don't think there is a need for precision shooters to be equipped with special sniper rifles, in my opinion, precision shooters should be the upgraded version of sharpshooters, sharpshooters and personal factors are very large, but precision shooters can be completely compensated by equipment - a batch of high-quality 81 bars with scopes, it is easy to meet the needs of precision shooters, and even we can consider giving up the requirement of long distances, as long as we can achieve accurate shooting at medium distances." ”

At present, there is no matching scope in the army, so the 85 sniper is used instead - 81 bar, it is accurate, but the accuracy of automatic rifles cannot be compared with bolt-action rifles.

In fact, similar to the theory of precision shooters, our army has long implemented them, and the snipers of the 7th Company are essentially precision shooters, but their training subjects are not clear, and they still have a tendency to be snipers.

What's more, in the existing equipment, there are only a few weapons that accurate shooters can choose, and as a theoretical provider, Zheng Yingqi is also a clever woman who has no rice.

After listening to Zheng Yingqi's words, Meng Jianguo asked: "What do you mean is that the marksmanship is better than that of ordinary soldiers, supplemented by aiming equipment, to achieve medium-range accurate shooting?" ”

Zheng Yingqi nodded.

"I understand," Meng Jianguo was full of confidence in his heart, and the demands for equipment could only be fed back to his superiors, but it was unknown whether it could be approved, and what our army was best at was overcoming difficulties - Meng Jianguo therefore said a choice that made Zheng Yingqi stunned:

"In that case, I think we can consider using 56 and a half!"

56 and a half refers to the 56 type semi-automatic rifle, as a parallel commodity that is not even a pseudo-military fan, Zheng Yingqi knows nothing about the 56 half, as a weapon that has been around for more than 30 years and nearly 40 years ago, especially a weapon that has long been eliminated, who will turn the target to it?

"The 56 semi-punch is different from the 56 punch (the name 56 punch is really misleading), it imitates the former Soviet SKS semi-automatic rifle, light weight, high accuracy, reliable structure, although the magazine is only ten rounds, but it very much meets the requirements you said." Meng Jianguo said:

"When the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the 56 and a half because of the rate of fire in front of the Vietnamese army equipped with AK47 seems to be powerless, but this does not deny the excellence of this weapon, according to the precision shooter, this weapon is very suitable for precision shooters, and can even completely replace the 85 sniper - the only problem is that the 56 and a half can only be modified and equipped with a scope."

In fact, Meng Jianguo has been thinking about this problem in the past few days, the body (barrel) of the 85 sniper is the longest, but the center of gravity of the whole gun is too forward, so it is very difficult to control the gun when shooting without support in a standing, kneeling or sitting position. This is not in line with the use of precision marksmen, who are infantry who follow the action of squads, and a single way of shooting is too limited.

For example, if there is an enemy to strike four hundred meters ahead, the average 85 sniper user must find a suitable place for shooting in a lying position, and if you use 56 and a half, you can shoot on the spot, which posture is the fastest and most convenient to use, how much time does this have to save?

From Zheng Yingqi's expression, Meng Jianguo could see that he didn't know the advantages of 56 and a half at all, so he patiently talked about the advantages of 56 and a half for Zheng Yingqi.

In fact, Zheng Yingqi was excited when he heard Meng Jianguo say that 56 and a half are imitation SKS, 56 and a half he didn't know or know, but could he not know SKS? That's a precision marksman rifle specially marked in a certain game!

With Meng Jianguo's introduction to 56 and a half, Zheng Yingqi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he even had the feeling of suddenly looking back at the person but in the dim light.

"Meng Ban, let's go to the company commander and ask him to find a way to get some 56 and a half to try!" Zheng Yingqi didn't want to wait for a minute, he was very much looking forward to the scene of 56 and a half in the training camp.

……

"Fifty-six and a half?" After listening to Zheng Yingqi and Meng Jianguo's intentions, Gao Cheng was also a little surprised, he was born in a military family, of course, he is very familiar with 56 and a half, but people have a blind spot, 56 and a half as a piece of equipment that has long been eliminated from the front-line troops or even discontinued, Gao Cheng did not include it in the equipment category when he considered it.

To put it more clearly, he was able to get 85 snipers in the regiment, because 85 snipers had a lot of inventory as 85 snipers in the active equipment regiment, but 56 was removed from the list a long time ago, and subconsciously Gao Cheng ignored this weapon.

Now as soon as he heard Zheng Yingqi and Meng Jianguo say that they were trying to equip 56 and a half, Gao Cheng suddenly remembered the advantage of 56 and a half.

"Don't say it, this 56 and a half is really suitable," Gao Cheng was also anxious, and immediately said: "You go back first, I'll go to the regiment headquarters to apply, and find a way to get us a batch of 56 and a half!" ”
