"General Ciric, your advice is correct, I wonder if you have any ideas for improvement?" Berthold said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"There are two ways to improve." "Since one magazine is not enough, we can use two," said Ciric. ”

This kind of thinking is still present in later generations.

Two standard 32-round magazines were combined with a twin magazine compartment and grooved at the bottom of the shield between the barrel and receiver so that the twin magazine magazine could slide along the bottom groove of the shield.

Two square magazine jams are positioned at the rear of the magazine compartment, and the front of the magazine magazine is provided with two indicating locators, when the ammunition of one magazine on the left is used up, the magazine magazine is pushed to the left, and at this moment, the magazine on the right is just located at the supply port under the effect of the locator.

Compared to taking the bullet from the bullet pouch and pushing it onto the chamber, this method only takes a moment and greatly simplifies the steps! Quite ingenious, so to speak!

When Ciric said it, everyone nodded in admiration!

One is not enough, then two!

"Regarding this kind of magazine, I think that it can also be improved, the current magazine, the cross-section is rectangular, we can change it to a trapezoidal one, which can improve the reliability of the ammunition supply higher."

In later generations, a 36-round double-row double-feed magazine was considered the best magazine for 9mm Balabellum pistol rounds.

The biggest feature of this magazine is that the front and rear widths are different, the front part is slightly narrower, and the rear part is wider, so that the cross-section of the magazine is similar to trapezoidal.

The advantage of adopting this shape is that the axis of the bullet is not parallel to the axis of the chamber, and the left and right rows of bullets have a small angle with the central axis of the chamber, which is convenient for the cartridge to be adjusted when the bullet is pushed into the chamber, so the reliability of the ammunition supply is higher.

At the same time, this form of magazine is not sensitive to dirt and temperature differences, which can reduce the phenomenon of magazine shrinkage and "squeezing" the internal bullet in cold weather.

Ciric only provides ideas, specific scheme design, let them do it.

"The other option is to use drumming." Ciric continued.

In fact, although the MP38 series looks majestic, it was not mass-produced until the end of World War II, and after the war with the Soviet Union, the German army did not like the MP38 series and often picked up the Soviet Bobosha to fight.

Why? Because Bobosha is a 71-round drum!

When the fire is interrupted, it is often the prelude to the arrival of death!

The 71-round drum has a much higher fire duration than the MP38 with a 32-round magazine!

In later wars, due to the excessive use of Bobosha submachine guns by German soldiers, the German army actually specially researched an improved version of the Bobosha submachine gun, which improved the barrel and magazine interface of Bobosa, so that it could fire the 9mm Parabellum pistol cartridge fired by the MP40.

So, at this time, Ciric put forward another opinion, can you play the drum?

If the same 71 rounds of drums were played, it would definitely be more popular with front-line fighters! Although it would be more funny to think about using the drum Mp38, it is a more suitable choice for the battlefield!

"Yes, General Ciric, we will seriously make improvements." Berthold said.

In the past, the equipment department only raised questions, but now, Ciric even gave the idea of improvement, which is undoubtedly more effective, Bethold was quite excited, and continued to ask Ciric: "What are the questions?" ”

"The second problem is the insurance of the submachine gun." Ciric continued to put forward his own opinion, in fact, this opinion, which is not so easy to find, was put forward in the World War II materials of later generations, and now, Ciric did not hesitate to put it forward.

The safety mechanism is simply a snap in the receiver that jams the handle and keeps the weapon in a state of readiness. When the bolt is in the forward position, the weapon that is already ready to fire is not insured.

In this way, when the bolt is hit, it will return to the rear position, and it may hook a bullet into the chamber and fire! In simpler terms, it's easy to get off the rails!

When it came to the battlefield, the soldiers' response was to get on their horses, temporarily pull a belt on the barrel of the gun, and use the ripped end to secure the pull handle. It was only later that a bolt safety was added to solve the problem.

Now, in the design phase, it's time to solve this problem!

Ciric is talking, and many people are remembering, Ciric is definitely not a layman, he is quite open-minded, and he is even more powerful than these weapons experts!

"Alright, now for the last question." Ciric has said that the current problem is almost complete, and there is only one one left.

"Simplify the production process so that this gun can be produced in large quantities and at low cost! Save our valuable raw materials. Ciric said.

The German craftsman spirit is excellence, for example, the most important casing is definitely cut, a large piece of metal, cut on the lathe, sharpened, and finally become a small piece of casing, quite wasteful! The scrap is even heavier than the receiver!

If you change to the stamping process, you will have to save a lot of raw materials! Almost nothing wasted! Then it is completed by riveting and welding processes.

Historically, it was not until after the war that Germany began to simplify the process, and now, Ciric has proposed that the process must be simplified and the efficiency improved!

For this reason, it is worth it even if the machining accuracy is reduced slightly! Soviet weapons, processing accuracy is much lower than Germany, the weapons produced, on the contrary, are more popular, why? Simple and reliable! In times of war, mass production is possible!

For resource-starved Germany, these are all the more important!

This trip of Ciric had a great impact on the Erma company, Ciric provided suggestions for improvement, and personally promised that this weapon would be mass-produced and equipped, and historically, the Erma company for 35 years, was the main production of Mauser 98K rifles, and now, it has become a company specializing in the production of submachine guns!

A few months later, the improved submachine gun, which received the designation MP35, first entered service with the armored forces, and after that, into more army units, to great acclaim.

And Ciric's task is not over yet, after all, Ciric knows that the submachine gun is not the most suitable for the needs of future wars, it is just a substitute in desperation.

Just look at the afterlife, what is the most suitable? Assault rifles, of course!
