The German military industry is well developed, as far as the manufacture of light weapons is concerned, there are Mauser Arsenal, Erma Company, Hernell Company, etc., among them, Erma Company has developed the latest MP36 submachine gun, and is improving the production process, using stamping to save materials, in order to carry out more mass production. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As for the task of choosing a new intermediate-power gun cartridge, it fell to the company Hernell, which, anyway, was developed by this company anyway.

Hugo Schmeiser, the gunsmith designer at the Hanell company, as the main leader, is now welcoming the arrival of Ciric and his party.

"We have made various comparisons and believe that after the caliber exceeds 6 mm, the lethality is limited." Hu Ge introduced to the people present: "Although small-caliber bullets, after entering the human body, will roll to kill the target, they still can't take into account the long-range situation, so we finally gave up." ”

"Now, after we compare, there are two types of bullets that are the most suitable." "One is a 7.92×33mm rifle cartridge that is the same caliber as we have now," Hugo said. It is shorter than our current standard rifle cartridge of 7.92×57mm, the warhead is lighter, the gunpowder is fired, the effective range is correspondingly shortened, and the recoil is greatly reduced, which can meet the needs of continuous fire. ”

"The other is 6.8X43 mm small-caliber ammunition, after comparison, we believe that this ammunition can fully meet our needs, the firepower is brutal enough, and the recoil is small, but this will be different from our current caliber." Hugo continued.

As he spoke, he walked and came to the shooting range, and on the launch pad, two strangely shaped submachine guns appeared in everyone's sight.

In ordinary submachine guns, the magazines are all straight magazines, while the current magazines are curved and curved, one narrow and the other wide.

"These two are the submachine guns that we have improved with new rifle cartridges." Hu Ge introduced to the crowd: "The two kinds of magazines, both of which are 30 rounds, are still lethal at a distance of 300 meters. Even at a distance of 400 meters, it has a fairly high accuracy. ”

Ciric picked up the narrow magazine, this gun, and the STG44 recorded in later history, is already very similar, of course, when it was finalized, the number MP44 was still used.

From the appearance of the gun body, it is very similar to the AK rifle that was widely popular in later generations, of course, this similarity refers to the appearance, which has a small grip in the back, a curved magazine in the front, and a wooden butt in the back, which is very similar to the shooting essentials.

(Regarding the kinship between the STG44 and the AK series of rifles, it is inconvenient for Huadong Zhixiong to say much, in short, some say that it is plagiarized, and some strongly deny it.) If from the internal mechanical structure, stg44 is a gas conduction type plus bolt deflection lock, AK is a gas conduction type plus bolt rotary lock, it can be said that the automatic mode is the same, both are gas conduction type, both have pistons, but the locking structure is different. ）

Shoulder-to-shoulder, pulling the bolt, Ciric pulled the trigger.

The gunshot rang out, the muzzle moved slightly, and the bullet casings were constantly pushed out from the side of the bolt, and the recoil was indeed not small, but it was already able to control the gun body stably!

Ciric was self-taught, no one taught him how to aim, he was already proficient in firing, and everyone present opened their eyes wide, and they all said that General Ciric was very powerful, and now it is so!

After trying the narrow magazine, Ciric went on to test the wide magazine, and also put a few shots.

Narrow and wide, is the difference between bullets, 7.92 mm bullets, is 33 mm long, and 6.8 mm bullets, is 43 mm, so, small caliber bullets, on the contrary, the magazine is longer.

"The performance of both guns is about the same." "It seems that it is a difficult choice. ”

The stability of this gun is almost there, and what is needed now is the selection, two calibers, what is the most suitable to choose?

"Well, that's good." Hitler also picked up his gun, followed Ciric's example, and pulled the trigger.

Hitler is now in the prime of life, he went to the battlefield during the First World War, and now, he is also very interested in testing the gun himself.

"The caliber of 7.92 mm can be consistent with the caliber of our current model, so that our original production line does not need to be adjusted, such as the original barrel, can continue to be used." Hugo continued to explain.

This is good, the simplest, the barrels of those Mauser 98K rifles that are now in stock, cut in two, can become the barrels of two existing submachine guns, that's it!

In this era, the caliber of rifles was varied, and each country had its own standards, and in later generations, it was considered unified, and the entire West, the main force was 5.56 mm, and the entire Soviet camp was 7.62 and 5.54 mm.

"However, if you use a 6.8mm bullet, the amount of metal used will be reduced." Hugo said.

The lethality of the two is about the same, however, the caliber of the 6.8 mm bullet is reduced, and the mass of the warhead is less than that of the 7.92 mm bullet, although a bullet is not much worse, but, right, the demand for this kind of bullet is astronomical, so cumulatively, it is quite a considerable number!

"What do you think, Ciric?" Hitler asked Shirek. This matter, there can be no mistake, after all, this will be the main submachine gun of the German army in the future!

"Führer, I think that a 6.8 mm bullet is suitable for the army of our empire." "The reduction in the mass of the warhead means that we will be less dependent on resources, and the number of MANPADS will also increase," Shirek said. ”

The empire is short of resources, and from this point of view, 6.8mm bullets have a huge advantage, not to mention, the mass of bullets is reduced, and individual soldiers can carry more bullets!

This is, of course, one reason, and another, Ciric has a mirror in his heart, and in later generations, this is the most highly rated ammunition!

Although NATO uniformly used the 5.56 mm bullet, after years of use, this ammunition reflected the problem of insufficient lethality, and later in 2014, NATO made a comparison and finally decided that the 6.8 mm bullet was the most suitable.

It's a pity that after so many years, NATO has had a mountain of 5.56 mm bullets, and it is impossible to re-use the new caliber.

As a traverser, as a military enthusiast before, for Ciric, since he has come to this era, if he can't make the best assault rifle, then what is the advantage of the traverser?
