Chapter 284: Castle Peak Type 2 Rifle
"At the same time, because the accuracy of our rifled rifles is already very high, even if the accuracy of the paper shell metal bottom bullet is poor, it can still maintain a very high hitting accuracy at a distance of 300 meters to 400 meters, at least stronger than the existing Mini rifles!"
"In terms of performance, we recommend the use of all-metal bullets, although the latter will be more expensive for ammunition, but will bring better combat effectiveness!"
"But from the point of view of cost of use and sustainable warfare, many colleagues at the machine shop recommended the use of this simple metal bullet."
When Ding Quankun spoke, it was obvious that he was focusing on simple metal bullets.
Lin Ziran listened, and naturally he would not ignore the suggestions of front-line scientific researchers.
Immediately, he said: "Since this is the case, then let's test one or two and see the effect!" ”
Lin Ziran gave instructions, and naturally someone used other sample guns to test them.
At this time, a total of four sample guns were tested for continuous live firing, and behind the soldiers of each test sample gun, there were personnel recording a lot of data.
And some of the generals even opened their eyes wide to see, and Wu Guanlin directly took out a small notebook to record it.
Many of the results obtained from the current continuous live-fire test will directly affect the follow-up tactics.
For example, rapid-fire, the rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute and the rate of fire of 5 rounds per minute, are completely different concepts at the tactical level, which will directly affect the tactical deployment.
The process of testing is long, even boring, and this live-fire test is not only for Lin Ziran to see, but also to test the various limits of this modified musket, and obtain more accurate data for formulating various training methods and combat tactics.
It is also about looking for potential problems.
Therefore, soldiers maintain the highest rate of fire to test reliability in the heat of battle.
Tube life testing is also required.
It is also necessary to conduct environmental tests, such as tests in various extreme environments such as high temperatures, rainy days, severe cold conditions, high salinity states, and mud conditions.
In fact, some test items may last for several days, and some may even last for a month or more.
But Lin Ziran, it was obviously impossible for them to wait so long.
In fact, Lin Ziran only watched various tests for about an hour, and after a brief understanding, he said to Ding Quankun: "Judging from the current test results, it is still good, although there are still some problems, but it can be improved while producing!" ”
"The machinery factory should immediately organize manpower and equipment to modify production, and the modification speed should be increased as much as possible."
"Now everyone knows the situation, not optimistic, the soldiers on the front line urgently need this new weapon, so the brothers of the machinery factory, still need to work hard."
Lin Ziran picked up the simple metal bullet that Ding Quankun said before at this time and said: "In terms of ammunition, since this simple metal bullet is available, then mass production of this ammunition in the early stage!" ”
"However, all-metal bullets can't be dropped, and they also need to organize production, how much can be produced!"
Lin Ziran wants the machinery factory to produce simple metal bullets on a large scale, but it can't give up all metal bullets.
Although all-metal bullets are currently difficult to process, low in output, and high in cost, it is difficult to produce such all-metal bullets on a large scale in a short period of time due to the capacity of Aoyama Machinery Factory and the channels for obtaining industrial raw materials from the outside.
But all-metal bullets are the future!
Lin Ziran is very sure of this.
Now it is just an expedient measure to produce a batch of simple metal bullets first, and when the technical ability of Qingshan Machinery Factory is improved, even if the cost is high, Lin Ziran will grit his teeth and use all-metal bullets.
After these were determined, naturally someone from the food and salary department handled the follow-up orders, and after a while, the food and salary department officially placed an order for the modification of 10,000 'Qingshan No. 2 rifles' on behalf of the military.
Just by looking at the name, you know that it has a strong atmosphere of Aoyama Machinery Factory.
Because this name is the internal production code of Aoyama Machinery Factory.
Now that the troops are to be ordered and equipped, the military is too lazy to change the name, and directly follows the design code of the Aoyama Machinery Factory, calling it the 'Aoyama Type 2 Rifle'.
This name is the same as the Mini rifle that the Sixth Division is now equipped with, with a strong Sixth Division style!
In recent months, the official documents of the Sixth Division have adopted a more precise naming method for the naming of various weapons and equipment, and this method is derived from the Qingshan Machinery Factory, or more accurately from Lin Ziran.
Because the previous names are a popular name, it is difficult to distinguish them in official documents, such as nine-jin artillery, many officers in order to save trouble, is to put nine-jin grenades, nine-jin light mortars, nine-jin old field guns, and new nine-jin field guns are referred to as nine-jin guns......
Sometimes when Lin Ziran read the documents, he would directly misunderstand that the nine-pound artillery equipped by the Sixth Division was all some kind of nine-pound artillery.
But in fact, this is not the case, each of these nine-pound guns is different, even the caliber is different, and the bullet weight is also different.
In the end, Lin Ziran directly issued a document, asking the people of the Ordnance Section of the Food and Salary Department to accurately name all weapons and equipment, and not to blur them.
In order to better distinguish and avoid subsequent scolding, those people in the ordnance department shamelessly copied the way of distinguishing various weapons and ammunition within the Aoyama Machinery Factory.
For example, the engineers of the Qingshan Machinery Factory made a better distinction between the new nine-kilogram artillery produced by the imitation, especially the old-fashioned nine-kilogram 115-millimeter gun.
It is based on the year plus the caliber and the diameter of the body tube as the internal name, so the internal name of the new nine-pound artillery Aoyama Machinery Factory is '50 years 120 mm 15 times the gun'.
The military directly copied it, and the official document no longer called it a new nine-pound field gun, but called it 'a 120-millimeter fifteen-fold gun in 50 years'
Or simply 'One Twenty Field Artillery'.
It can be seen from the changes in the way the military names weapons and equipment that the Sixth Division is now making progress towards regularization and systematization, and it is no longer a grass-roots team that can be messed around with as in the past.
After returning from the Qingshan Machinery Factory, Lin Ziran counted on his fingers how much time it would take for the Qingshan Machinery Factory to be able to provide a sufficient number of Qingshan II rifles.
Because it is not a new production, it is only based on the Fuyuan rifle for modification, so the cost of modification is low, and the man-hours are relatively short, so the speed is relatively fast.
Ding Quankun said that with the current scale of Qingshan Machinery Factory, if it takes overtime to modify production, it will be able to modify about 5,000 pieces a month, which is not slow, after all, it is just a modification!
However, even so, it will take at least four months to modify enough Aoyama-2 rifles to equip the entire Sixth Division.
At the same time, the production of metal bullets used with them also takes time!
Even if it is a simple metal bullet used in the early transition, it is a new type of bullet, and there is no inventory, so it needs to be produced and hoarded.
It all takes time!
However, with the current tension in Luo'an County, does Lin Ziran still have so much time?
Soon someone gave Lin Ziran the answer: No!
