Chapter 265: Sparkin

Hearing the name, Shulka's head couldn't help but "buzz".

Sparkin?

Grigory Sparkin?!

Famous small arms designer Sparkin?

……

The designer of the Bobosha submachine gun!

Shulka couldn't help but look at Kalashnikov, who was standing on the other side.

Historically, Kalashnikov should be said to be Sparkin's defeat...... After being wounded, Kalashnikov was impressed by the rate of fire of the German submachine guns, so he developed a submachine gun on his own.

The result was indeed made, but at the wrong time, Sparkin's Bobosha submachine gun had already been developed and was being improved for mass production...... Before entering the mass production process, it is necessary to further simplify it and find as many defects as possible and correct it in time, otherwise it will be too late to find it after entering mass production.

So there was no suspense, Kalashnikov's submachine gun was defeated by the Bobosha submachine gun, but because of this, Kalashnikov also attracted the attention of the R&D department and cultivated it.

This approach turned out to be correct, and this is how a generation of famous guns was created.

"Comrade Sparkin, it's a pleasure to meet you!" After knowing the identity of the old man in front of him, Shulka suddenly became a little nervous.

This took Sparkin by surprise.

"What, Comrade Shulka?" Sparkin asked, "Do you recognize me?" ”

"No!" Shulka replied.

"Then why...... Never mind! Sparkin smiled and invited Shulka out of the room.

As he walked, Sparkin said, "You did a good job just now, Comrade Shulka!" In fact, it's pretty good...... I find that you have a very sharp sense of insight, imagination, fuck it, I don't know what it is! In short, you have advanced thinking and awareness, you seem to know what the battlefield needs and are sure that it is right, and while we are all groping, guessing, and hesitating in the dark, you are already standing at the end of the line and waving and shouting at us! ”

Shulka was secretly frightened.

Sparkin was indeed a master of design, and he saw something unusual about Shulka...... No one can be sure that the half-track armored car is right, but Shulka is certain from beginning to end, and it is one hundred percent certain.

It's a feeling that others may not feel, but Sparkin does.

Just like Shulka's gaffe when he heard the name Sparkin just now, others didn't take it seriously, but Sparkin was puzzled.

"It's a rarity!" Sparkin led Shulka down the stairs and then into the range...... Then Shulka realized that this was not a shooting range.

Because Sparkin said: "This is my laboratory, and we are testing some light weapons, some of which are not even equipped with the troops......"

At this point, Sparkin paused and asked Shulka, "Can I trust you?" ”

"Yes, Comrade Sparkin!"

"Of course, you're the 'Breakout Hero'!" Sparkin said, "Of course I can trust you!" We are testing a submachine gun, and I hope to get the opinion of a fighter who is fighting on the front line and is very discerning......"

With that, Sparkin pushed open a door and walked in.

In fact, at this time Shulka had already guessed what it was, the Bobosha submachine gun, which was being intensively tested and was not approved by the military until early next year and then entered mass production.

Sure enough, Shulka saw several Bobosha guns set up in the laboratory, three Soviet soldiers were lining up holding them on the ground and shooting at the chest target in front of them, while several researchers were recording something.

Sparkin motioned for them to rest for a moment, then handed Shulka a Bobosha assault gun.

"You must have used a PPD submachine gun!" Sparkin said.

"No, I haven't used it!" Shulka replied, "But my men are using it!" ”

The Cossacks were submachine gunners, while Shulka was always Mosin Nagant.

"It's a lot like PPD!" "But PPD has 95 parts and it only has 87, and most of the parts are stamped, do you know what that means? ”

"Yes, Comrade Sparkin!" Shulka replied with the submachine gun in his hand: "It's simpler!" ”

"That's right, it's simpler!" Sparkin happily said, "It's very simple to make something complicated, but it's going to be very complicated to make it simple!" ”

Shulka knew that Sparkin would say that, and that was his mantra.

In fact, it is precisely because of this knowledge that Shulka will answer: "It's simpler".

Otherwise, Shulka would have replied "with greater accuracy" or "with a longer range".

"Simplicity makes it easier to produce!" Sparkin continued: "It takes only 7.3 man-hours to produce it, which is almost half of the production of a PPD submachine gun!" ”

"It's a work of art!" Shulka said.

This is not a compliment, but a heartfelt admiration, the excellence of this submachine gun is recognized by the world, and even the Germans discarded their submachine guns on the battlefield and picked up Bobosha to use.

"Don't you want to try?" Sparkin asked.

So Shulka tried to shoot a shuttle, and the bullet "boomed" and rained down on the chest target a hundred meters away, and soon it was smashed into a sieve.

"How does it feel?" Sparkin asked.

"Very good submachine gun!" Shulka said, "It's going to be a great melee weapon, especially in street fighting!" ”

Sparkin nodded: "Large ammunition capacity, short gun body, more suitable for street combat melee combat!" ”

"Yes!"

"If you can!" Sparkin said with some regret: "I'll keep you here for a few more days, and then let you find out what's wrong with it!" ”

"It's a perfect piece of equipment, Comrade Sparkin!" Shulka replied: "I mean in terms of submachine guns!" ”

"You seem to think it falls short!" Sparkin heard Shulka's words speak.

Shulka didn't mean to, he actually slipped his mouth out from a modern perspective.

"Uh, yes, Comrade Sparkin!" Shulka said: "It doesn't have enough range, doesn't it? ”

Sparkin nodded: "Yes, about 150 meters!" ”

"So, if it's in the open field, it can't compete with the enemy rifle!"

"But we also have rifles!" Sparkin said: "Our riflemen and even machine gunners will deal with them!" ”

"Of course!" "But it's also a waste of troops, and the submachine gunners can only stare dryly!" Shulka said. ”

"But...... There is no solution to this! Sparkin looked at Shulka suspiciously: "We need to have this combination of long and short, rifle machine guns are responsible for long-range targets, and submachine guns are close fire support!" ”

"No, Comrade Sparkin!" Shulka said: "I think there is a solution! ”
