Chapter 314: Product Launch

Messe Internationale, Frankfurt, Germany.

As the spotlight came on, the booth slowly rose to reveal a rifle in a very sci-fi shape and a row of strangely shaped bullets.

That's right, this is H&K's product launch.

When the booth was raised, reporters raised their cameras, pointed their lenses at the booth, and pressed the shutter desperately, for fear of missing a certain detail.

Actually, there is no need for this at all.

When the booth was fully raised, an image of the product's introduction appeared on the projection screen.

HK650 and CT65.

The former is a gun, the latter is a bullet.

Of course, it's all H&K's factory code.

Brand new guns, brand new bullets.

Actually, it's not accurate.

CT65 is a newly developed countersunk projectile with a warhead caliber of 6.5 mm, which is a small-caliber countersunk projectile developed by H&K Company in accordance with the requirements of the US military.

As for the HK650, although it is extremely novel in shape, it is related to the HK416.

To put it simply, the HK650 can be seen as the grandson of the HK416, using the same automatic principle, but with some necessary changes for the countersunk projectile.

In terms of performance, the CT65 can be said to be an epoch-making bullet.

According to H&K's propaganda, the CT65 adopts dozens of new technologies, including plastic cartridge shells, and is 30 percent smaller in size than the SS109 bullet, 60 percent higher in muzzle kinetic energy than the SS109, and 3.5 times the overall performance in the 600-meter effective range range than the SS109.

Even compared to the CT47, the overall performance of the CT65 is improved by 50%.

Thanks to this, the HK650 has an effective range of up to 1200 meters and can penetrate 15 mm thick surface-hardened armor plates at a distance of 400 meters!

This performance alone surpasses that of all standard rifles today!

In the video shown by H&K, the HK650 is capable of penetrating all Level 4 body armor within 800 meters, and the effective penetration distance of Level 4 reinforced body armor is up to 300 meters, even against Level 4 body armor with two layers of inserts, 50% of the penetration distance is 200 meters.

As for mainstream helmets, the HK650 can fully penetrate at an effective range of 1200 meters.

Because of the use of a "sub-caliber steel core coated with lead" warhead, the stopping effect of the CT65 is also excellent, and the lethal effect on personnel is three times that of the SS109 bullet.

According to H&K's publicity, the CT65 bullet it is developing is even better in terms of performance.

Quite simply, CT65 uses tungsten alloy bullet core!

All in all, the HK650 and CT65 are the most powerful combination of guns and ammunition available today.

In order to provide a more exclusive impression and for publicity, H&K also conducted a comparative test with the DF762N, which is known as the "pinnacle of traditional rifles".

Of course, the result is certainly one-sided.

HK650 greatly surpasses DF762N in terms of main performance, and the comprehensive performance is three times that of DF762N!

As for how this conclusion was reached, especially how the so-called "comprehensive performance" was calculated, only H&K knows.

It must be admitted that the launch was a great success and left a very deep impression on the audience.

Although he only watched the live broadcast report on the Internet, Wang Dong was still very impressed that H&K was really powerful, and completed the design of new guns and rifles in a few months.

What's more, a finished product with a great appearance is also manufactured.

"It's just an advertisement, there's nothing to say."

Hearing this, Wang Dong looked at Gao Jun.

Although he is still the CEO of FN Company, according to Wang Dong's arrangement, Gao Jun has stayed in Saudi Arabia and has not returned to Belgium.

Due to this status, Gao Jun did not work for D&F Saudi Arabia.

"Of course, if there is a need, we can hold a press conference in advance." Gao Jun pursed his lips, knowing that Wang Dong didn't like to talk about it.

Wang Dong didn't say anything, and looked at Zhao Yu, who was sitting next to Gao Jun.

"The design was complete, and within a week a prototype gun could be built for testing. However, I think the press conference will be arranged according to the original plan. Zhao Yu let out a long breath and said, "We still need some time to conduct a finalization test to solve the problems that were missed in the design." ”

"Okay, then let's go according to the plan."

Zhao Yu nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

If Wang Dong hadn't called him over, he would still be in the development center, working with other developers to solve problems with the design of the prototype gun.

In the past few months, the hardest one is Zhao Yu.

Of course, it doesn't take long for your hard work to pay off.

Wang Dong gave another order, let Zhao Yu leave first, and left Gao Jun behind.

"I will arrange the press conference carefully."

"I'm not concerned about the press conference, I believe in your abilities."

Gao Jun was slightly stunned and looked at Wang Dong incomprehensibly.

Although he did not work for D&F Saudi Arabia, Gao Jun has always played the role of marketing manager, sharing a lot of work for Musharraf.

"When we had a press conference, it was over. We have reason to believe that the firearm designed by Zhao Yu will definitely not be worse than the HK650. As expected, we will sign a contract with Saudi Arabia within the year, and all we have to do in the future is to open up markets in other countries. With the support of Saudi Arabia, it will definitely be able to get orders from several Gulf countries. Our biggest challenge in the coming years will be to increase production capacity. ”

"It shouldn't be a big problem, after all, the Gulf countries don't buy very much."

"And then?"

Gao Jun sighed, but didn't say much.

"No matter what the outcome of the lawsuit in the United States is, our development in the field of firearms has basically come to an end, and even if we can get more orders, it will be difficult to expand the market, after all, the total amount of the global market is so much, and we have almost all the shares that we can get." Wang Dong paused slightly, and then said, "You are in charge of the market, so I want to hear your opinion on how to develop in the future." ”

"Brother Dong, this problem is too big."

"Whatever you want."

Gao Jun let out a long breath and said: "I am in the market, so from the perspective of the market, we should do whatever we have." ”

Wang Dong frowned, and looked at Gao Jun incomprehensibly.

"In other words, we do what we have in our hands."

"Guided by technology?"

"So to speak."

Wang Dong nodded slightly and said, "It's a pity that technology is our shortcoming. ”

"Then, we can only do what the market needs."

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Gao Jun also laughed, because this was what he wanted to say, and the first sentence was a counterword, just to illustrate the importance of the market.

It is very simple, market-oriented, and naturally has to develop and produce according to market demand.

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Wang Dong patted the armrest of the sofa and said, "After the press conference, I will give you a few months to do market research. When we get back, we'll talk about the future. When the time comes, I hope you can come up with a detailed plan. ”

"Am I alone?"

"Of course not, I'll make arrangements."

"Okay, I'll prepare first."

Wang Dong nodded slightly, Gao Jun didn't ramble anymore, and got up to say goodbye.
