Time flies.

In the capital, it is once again lively, and the biennial international defense exhibition has finally opened slowly in the capital.

Compared with the last time, the standard of this international defense exhibition is quite high, and last time it was mainly focused on the weapons of the army, but this time, a large number of weapons from the air force and navy have participated in the exhibition.

"The French, sure enough, are here." On this day, the thought swelled in the hearts of countless people, just two years ago, the French made a fool of themselves, and it was very unpleasant at that time, and later, the French also took the opportunity to take revenge, and the originally stable arms export business of the eastern country on the side of the waterless country was forcibly delayed.

However, for the French, they will definitely not give up this opportunity, after all, after opening the country from the eastern powers, a lot of French weapons have already been purchased.

The Dolphin helicopter has been introduced and has become the straight-nine helicopter of the Eastern Powers, which is currently in stable production, and the 100 mm naval guns displayed by the French last time have also been selected by the Eastern Powers, as for various electronic components and so on, the French have also exported a lot.

Doing business, what are you afraid of slapping in the face, this time, they have launched a larger variety of weapons.

The Frenchman's booth, in this international defense exhibition, was the largest!

Famasas 5.56 mm assault rifle, Exocet anti-ship missile, Sand Snake anti-tank missile, AMX-10 Hult missile launcher, AMX-10PAC 90 mm assault gun, LTR 105 mm light howitzer, Storm ship-based rocket launcher, AMX-13 light tank, AMX-56 tank, Milan anti-tank missile, Holt anti-tank missile, Roland anti-aircraft missile, Magic 2 air-to-air missile, Mistral anti-aircraft missile, Sea Sidewinder anti-aircraft missile ... A large number of radars, electronic equipment and engines, etc., almost a French booth is enough to make people look at it for half a day.

Louis stood inside the booth and looked at the people rushing outside, with a proud expression on his face, no matter where he went, France would be the leader, the object of the most attention, as it is now!

There are quite a few people below. If nothing else, just that light weapon is enough to attract attention.

Since World War II, the Germans came up with the STG44 assault rifle, and the Soviets came up with the AK47 series of assault rifles, since then, the assault rifle has become the most widely circulated small arms in the world, and at the same time, the structure is also similar.

The back is the butt, then the magazine, the grip and trigger below, the magazine in front, and the handguard and barrel in the front, although the internal details may be different, such as the principle of the automata, such as the arc of the magazine, etc., but the most basic style has been fixed, whether it is the AK series of the Soviets, the M16 series of the Americans, or other firearms, they follow this way.

However, the French have always been mavericks, and after the stockless rifle became popular, the French followed the trend and came up with their own stockless rifle.

In the period of World War II, in order to fight bayonets, the longer the rifle, the better, but in modern times, many times you have to fight in armored vehicles, in complex buildings and other places, at this time, the gun is too long, it will become a burden.

It was at this time that the stockless rifle was handed down, and in appearance it had a grip in front and a magazine in the back, so that the length was greatly reduced.

It's not that it doesn't have a butt, it's just that the butt and receiver are combined into one, and the receiver is directly used as the butt, and the receiver and firing mechanism are wrapped in the huge butt, with the grip in front, the magazine and the automaton in the rear, so as to shorten the length of the whole gun while keeping the barrel length unchanged.

In the world, in fact, since the Second World War, there has been this kind of design, but it is just a flash in the bud, and later, various trends continue to rise, and the stockless rifle slowly began to become popular in the world, and it is still up to France to use it on a large scale.

At this time, this small rifle became a highlight, and Gaspar, the head of the Saint-Etienne Arsenal, was there to demonstrate to the audience, and the explanation was the first to do.

"Our rifle is a major breakthrough in light weapons all over the world, it adopts the structure of a stockless rifle, which has the power of an assault rifle and the length of a submachine gun, and is especially suitable for combat use in narrow spaces and complex terrain conditions." Gaspar introduced to everyone, especially among the onlookers, many of whom were soldiers from the great powers of the East.

The big country in the East needs a modern light weapon, and this rifle is an expectation of them, hoping to open up the market of the big country in the East.

The big country in the East has a huge army, what a big market it must be!

In the early years, the traditional equipment of the armies of the eastern powers was relatively shabby, and most of the infantry squads were holding 56 and a half guns, that is, semi-automatic rifles that could not be fired continuously, and only the squad leader and deputy squad leader would hold the 56 punches and use them as the charge firepower of the infantry squad.

And when fighting with the south, it was found that the other side already had an automatic weapon in his hands, and the semi-automatic 56 and a half quickly fell behind, and the troops began to use 56 Chong, which made up for the lack of firepower.

And the 56 punch, after all, is only a copy of the AK rifle, the light weapons of the big countries in the East, are in urgent need of reloading, not to mention anything else, now the world has long been popular small-caliber rifles, when the big countries in the East are still using 7.62 mm caliber, the West has begun to use 5.56 mm caliber bullets in an all-round way, and the Soviets are using 5.45 mm caliber ammunition, and the big countries in the East can only catch the last train of small-caliber weapons.

However, they developed very slowly, and until now, they have not determined what caliber to choose, but changed the old rifle to the Type 81 and then used it, however, the big countries in the East definitely need small-caliber rifles!

Therefore, taking advantage of this east wind, the big eastern countries have updated their rifles to this stockless rifle while turning to small calibers, which is exactly one step in place!

Even if the big eastern countries produce their own in the later stage, it is already good to purchase tens of thousands of handfuls in advance.

With such expectations, Gaspar's introduction is extraordinarily hard.

"In order to reduce the weight of the whole gun, we use a lot of light alloys and plastic parts..."
