Chapter 142: AK47

February 11, 1938, General Armament Department of the Red Army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Jun's new weapon design was unanimously affirmed by the members of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, but he was not carried away by "his own invention": there were many new weapons in his memory, and many of them could be made with current technology, but after weighing the pros and cons, he decided not to say anything for the time being.

Yesterday I summoned several designers of small arms and asked them to improve the design of the existing Deg Galev 7.62 mm light machine gun, placing the original re-entry spring under the barrel inside the tail of the gun, because the ДП-1928 (that is, the DP1928 light machine gun, which we colloquially call the turntable machine gun. After continuous firing of the light machine gun, the barrel will heat up, causing the recoiling spring installed under the barrel to heat up and change its performance - this defect has long been discovered in the actual use of the troops, but no one has made improvements before, and this is only a small improvement, which has little impact on the original production line and production capacity, and will soon resume large-scale manufacturing.

Lin Jun is not unaware of the shortcomings of the ДП-1928 light machine gun, but he understands his advantages better - the structure is simple, the whole gun has only 65 parts, the mechanism of the gun is reliable, the manufacturing process is not demanding, even an apprentice can build it, suitable for mass production. Of course, if the designers were given the design ideas of the MG42, it was estimated that the comrades would also be able to design a gas-guided general-purpose machine gun, but even if the stamping technology was widely used, Lin Jun was not sure whether it would have too much impact on production and equipment use, so he decided not to try - to maintain the existing military production system and not to make major adjustments.

But under the premise of taking conservative measures, Lin Jun still did something relatively out of the ordinary: he gave the gun and ammunition design department several drawings with clear data, if it were a soldier decades later, he would definitely be able to tell its model at a glance - M43 intermediate power bullet, of course, it may be called M38 bullet.

The comrades in the gun design department felt very strange about this new type of bullet, believing that its role was not very obvious, and they did not understand why it was designed, which made it clear that the range and power were inferior to the existing rifle cartridges, and that the ammunition used as a submachine gun was too powerful and heavy.

"Don't chirp crookedly with Lao Tzu, just give me a trial production according to the above data, and you can't change a single data, is it difficult?" Regarding the opinion of the designer comrade, Lin Jun used a stern order, "Also, this is top secret, and it must be kept secret." ”

There is no need to consider other factors, the order of the first deputy political commissar of the General Armament Department is not to be disobeyed, and besides, the data are detailed, the trial production is not difficult, and the manpower and material resources that need to be invested are also limited, which will not cause trouble to the existing work of the design department, and the comrades have only one choice: obeying the order.

"What does Comrade Andrei want it for? Perhaps it was designing ammunition for a new type of shotgun. If Lin Jun knew that one of the people who came regarded his orders in this way, he would definitely cry and laugh.

At present, Lin Jun is a member of the Military Commission and the first deputy political commissar of the General Armament Department, but he is obviously a military officer, but he holds the post of a political work cadre, and for the time being, he is more like an equipment designer -- a typical multi-person position. A few days ago, when Andlupf came to chat, he said that he was a typical unprofessional, and Lin Jun counterattacked: "I am a capable person who works hard, why don't you try it?" ”

"I only know my own things, not as good as you."

"Just kidding, compared to you? The whole Su can't come up with a second monster like you! For his brother's suggestion, Andlupuf was dismissive.

Since the M38 bomb was designed, the AK-47 (AK here is not an English letter, many people will mistakenly pronounce it as AK in English, which should be called "Acre". It should also be made earlier, except that it is possible that this model will be named after a few letters of Andrei Nikolaevich Prenyakov. Like the ******** pistol, Lin Jun is as familiar with the Type 56 submachine gun as his own hands, not only its combat performance, but also the closed study of all parts and components and manufacturing processes - in his previous life, his uncle was the director of the ordnance repair institute of the military region for many years, and Lin Jun often went there when he was a student, in order to be able to shoot targets. The small arms in the repair shop are not unfamiliar, and I often watch those mechanics repair damaged firearms, and even repair a few damaged Type 56 submachine guns by themselves under the guidance of the masters, which can be called a qualified apprentice who is not in the establishment.

Today, he carefully drew the structural drawings of the Type 56 submachine gun on the drawing table specially prepared by him, and even marked out the geometric dimensions and manufacturing process of each part in detail. Many parts of the original production AK47 were cut by process, while Lin Jun drew a mature model, which was basically marked according to the process of the Type 56 submachine gun, but the materials of some parts were replaced with alloy steel used in Soviet firearms. There are two models of the Type 56 drawn: the standard wooden tray basic type, and the 56-2 folding bracket.

Lin Jun didn't like the 56-1's folding support, it was easy to loosen, and the shooting accuracy was not as good as the standard type, so he directly chose the 56-2's lateral folding support. In this way, although the manufacturing process will be a little more troublesome, it is a small-scale installation, and the number of standard equipment will be very small, so it is estimated that the folding tray will be less, and it will be troublesome if it is a little troublesome. Lin Jun also has a very distinctive note on the edge of the folding bracket drawn on the drawing - before using it in winter, you must wrap a cloth belt around the titrop by yourself to prevent facial frostbite!

The Tito process of stamping parts manufacturing is not troublesome, at least it is much simpler than folding wooden pallets, but in the winter of dozens of degrees below zero, if the face is pasted on, you can definitely tear off a piece of skin, and wrap a strip of cloth to avoid this trouble, it is estimated that the Red Army soldiers have this time and conditions, if you can't even find a fast strip of cloth or are too lazy to modify it yourself, it is really a hell of a life!

This large pile of drawings has taken Lin Jun three days, and he didn't even go out of the office to eat, and he only went back to his home, so he relied on his memory to accurately draw all the drawings of AK47.

The drawings were finished, but he didn't plan to hand them over to the firearms research department to make a prototype gun immediately -- it was not the right time, it was too advanced, and it would require a long period of sample verification if it was to be installed, and the impact on the existing military industrial system would be like a storm of annihilation. In addition, even the equipment can only be equipped with small-scale special forces for the time being, so that it will not have too much impact on the existing military industrial system.

If the Soviet infantry needs to replace it on a large scale, how much manpower and material resources will it cost?! It is estimated that other aspects of production will be affected, which is by no means a good idea in the current situation, and Lin Jun is not confident that he can convince the supporters of the large number of high-powered rifles. Fortunately, the Soviet Union is still at the forefront of the world in the development of rifle automation: before World War II, when most countries still used manual-loading rifles, only the United States and the Soviet Union were the first to be equipped with semi-automatic rifles. The U.S. Army was armed with the famous M1 Garand rifle, while the Soviet Red Army was armed with the SVT 7.62mm semi-automatic rifle, but these were high-powered rifle cartridges.

I have to admit that the new ability of Tokarev's semi-automatic rifle is very good, but the large-scale war requires the Soviet Union to quickly provide enough rifles, so starting in 1942, the Soviet Union's firearms factories made almost only one model, Mosin-Nagant, so its production at the end of World War II was more than 1 million. But Stalin was a proponent of self-loading rifles, so Lin Jun believed that the small-scale production and equipment of the AK47 should not be a problem - it was only a small-scale reloading, and it would be impossible for the Soviet army to fully reload it now.

Even if the military council does not agree to equip it, according to Lin Jun's current status and power, he can also find a trial production of a batch, and he can also find troops to try it out - the troops directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs under Alexander will definitely provide Lin Jun with some convenience.

Just thinking about Alexander, he came.

"Andrey, last time I arranged for Fekochinov and Snornik to discuss with you about the new positions. Snornick went to my place, and he chose any place, and there were a lot of places for him to choose. Fekochinov's arrangement is a bit troublesome, the troops directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs are my final say, and he can go anywhere, but if it is other troops, this personnel transfer needs to go through the State Defense Committee, and besides, Fekochinov is also a Cheka person. ”

"I think you're trying to keep him with you, right?"

"Hehe, such a good officer can't be robbed, how can he cheapen others." Alexander did not hide it, he just wanted to put Fekochinov in the Internal Affairs Troops.

"That's you, you're cheap!" Some time ago, Lin Jun originally wanted Fekochinov to go to the military district below, but after a few days of consideration, he still thought that it would be better for him to develop in a position close to the core of Moscow's power. It is likely that he will not be able to adapt to it all of a sudden, and many of his talents will not be brought into play, so this unit directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs should be the best choice.

"It's arranged, otherwise I'll have to settle accounts with you!"

Lin Jun is obviously also a person who "protects the short".

"I can't lose him, the position suitable for him in the internal affairs army has been reserved for him a long time ago." Alexander was premeditated.

"By the way, are your new staff officers poaching from the Kremlin Security Bureau or are they getting you a few from me?"

"It's up to you to arrange it, I can trust your people."

"Well, I'll find you some of the best young men. To tell the truth, all the few in my hands like to work with you, and now everyone knows that it is not a loss to follow Comrade Andrei. Although Alexander said this, he would not really arrange a few officers for Lin Jun who "thought they would not suffer" to be his staff officers, and he understood this.

"My people are almost hollowed out for you, and you have to do something for you."

"What's the matter?" Alexander knew there must be some trouble.

"What's this expression for, it's not a big deal, it's to help me find someone."

"Who?" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the WWW.QIDIAN.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
