On the same day, the weapons displayed to the generals of the Ministry of Military Affairs in this closed armament test site in the north, in addition to the refreshing armored vehicles, a variety of MG series heavy machine gun improvements from several major heavy industries also appeared, but to everyone's refreshment, the Type 01 air-cooled light machine gun independently designed by the Beihai Precision Machinery Factory was favored by almost all army generals.

Today's Chinese army standard infantry weapons are mainly composed of three series, forming a type 80 submachine gun based on melee firepower, AK series rifle-based infantry firepower, and long-range firepower is composed of MG series heavy machine guns, this cross-era army firepower, plus a highly mobile battalion-level heavy mortar, for the Chinese army that is good at dividing and outflanking, has fully played a role like a tiger wings, which has been verified in previous border assault battles and overseas territory warfare.

However, with the stabilization of the entire domestic situation, the threat to which the army responds comes more from the national border, and the army's tactics have also undergone great changes, and the three major gun systems that were forced to reduce military spending have become more and more difficult to meet the needs of the military's daily border patrols and squad-platoon-level training.

Originated from the trench assault weapon MP series of 80 submachine guns, there is no doubt that a good weapon that all soldiers can't put down, and after the use of 7mm pistol cartridges, even if it is an enlarged 30 snail drums, the total weight is not more than 5 kg, in recent years, the gunsmith has also made considerable improvements to the 80 type submachine gun, forming several new products such as 80II and 80III, with a rate of fire of up to 300 rounds per minute and extremely excellent gun stability. There is no doubt that they are the weapons of choice for the commandos of all major military regions.

However, the disadvantages of 80 punches are as prominent as their advantages. The recoil of the pistol cartridge is small. But the range is difficult to take into account. Within 50 meters is the most courageous range of the commando, beyond this distance, the 80 series submachine guns point where to fight, but the shooting accuracy is not very flattering, and the army is mainly with 5 rounds of loaded AK rifles to make up for this defect, after years of running-in, now the Chinese Army's standard 10-person squad firepower is composed of 4 submachine guns, 5 AK02 rifles, and 1 AK02K strier rifle.

However, the fire support of heavy machine guns was lacking, and in a series of military exercises and tactical deductions. The squad firepower is easily suppressed by the opponent's heavy firepower and eventually loses its blocking power, while the platoon-level military force with a heavy machine gun shooting group will quickly lose its long-range heavy firepower once it becomes the target of the opponent's field artillery attack because of the well-known mobility of the MG series heavy machine gun, and finally the guide zhì will lose!

The Type 01 air-cooled light machine gun came into being, but now only in the test site of the Northern Military Region can you see the exquisite firearms being tested, when Qin Kai first saw this Type 01 air-cooled light machine gun. I almost thought it was a copy of the later Czech machine gun, but with a similar 80-stroke snail-shaped drum on top. The long magazine of the non-Czech machine gun clearly distinguishes the two types of machine guns.

The structure of the slender and densely covered annular heat sink is the same as the Czech submachine gun, if it weren't for Qin Kai's certainty that the Czech Republic still belonged to Austria-Hungary in this era, otherwise he would really think that this might be a certain type of plagiarism!

Several accompanying army officers surrounded the testers who were being tested, and after the crisp click-da

"Mother, this thing is really easy to use...... And the drums are not! Pan Xin, the commander of the 34th Division, was obviously not addicted to it, and urged the tester next to him to load and unload the drum.

Huang Biao, an engineer from Beihai Heavy Industry, was very excited to introduce this type of light machine gun to Qin Kai and the bigwigs of the Ministry of Military Affairs at this moment, "Prime Minister, the third type of light machine gun sent here for testing has been improved, the whole gun is 1.1 meters long, weighs 9.1 kilograms, uses 9mm standard rifle cartridges, has a gauge range of 1500 meters, has 30 rounds and 46 rounds, and has a theoretical rate of fire of 500 rounds, if it can finally equip the troops, it can completely replace the squad and platoon level heavy firepower ......"

46 rounds of drumming...... Obedient...... Even the bullet chain of the Makqin machine gun is only 150 rounds, this news still makes Qin Kai a little surprised, he knows that the famous Jack light machine gun uses standard 20 or 30 rounds of magazines, and the gun weight is about the same as this Type 01 light machine gun, but obviously, if it is used as a support fire point, more than double the ammunition compartment, which means a more powerful firepower output.

Before the engineer could continue to introduce, Huang Zulian, the commander of the 38th Division on the side, had already jumped out with a laugh, "Prime Minister, I think this is good, our 38th Division is stationed in Ma'anshan, let's be guinea pigs, you allocated 2,000 light machine guns, where do I just configure 2 shots in a squad, this specific test, isn't it better to put it in the army!" ”

"I'm X, Lao Huang, you're really shameless, if you want to put it in the army for testing, you can't put it here, our 37th Army is stationed in that valley in the Beihai, and it's freezing in the cold, which is the ideal testing place!" Immediately, Fang Jin, the commander of the 37th Division of the 31st Division of the Mongolian Military Region under the jurisdiction of the 31st Army, jumped out to snatch the benefits, and he was still carrying a Type 01 light machine gun in his hand, and it seemed that he was ready to take it away.

This gang of bandits...... Qin Kai really doesn't have a good opinion of these guys, these are all outstanding students who came out of the Mawei Academy back then, after the army, now they have completely become veteran ruffians, and they put things in their bags, which are more neat than the other.

"Fang Jin, Huang Zulian, what are you two making a fuss about! I really haven't seen the world, let me tell you, the prospect of squad and platoon-level firepower, you have to look at it from a distance, a light machine gun is satisfied! Qin Kai frowned, suppressed the two boys, and then waved his hand and turned his head and asked, "Has the heat dissipation problem of the Type 01 light machine gun been solved?" Is there a new technical scheme for the MG series heavy machine guns? ”

Qin Kai's question is naturally a key issue in the history of the development of light machine guns, judging from the 01 type light machine gun seen so far, the long-range air conduction principle after the improvement of the MG series heavy machine gun has been well absorbed into this type of weapon, but even if the MG series uses water cooling technology, the barrel is still so hot that it often has to stop shooting, not to mention just using air cooling to dissipate heat.

Huang Biao was naturally a little surprised by Premier Qin's understanding of light machine gun technology, barrel heat dissipation is undoubtedly a crucial problem, and, in fact, the hottest part of the barrel is at the end of the barrel, close to the position of the ammunition supply magazine, and the ammunition is overheated, and it may even cause an accident!

He immediately pointed to the two light machine guns placed at the end of the test position, "Prime Minister, this is a model that we have newly designed according to the principle of heat dissipation, using a 3cm wide and 3mm thick fan-shaped copper thermal conductive sheet to assist in heat dissipation, increasing the number of consecutive shots from 800 rounds to 1,500 rounds, and then it only takes 10 minutes to put it into use again!" ”

Qin Kai came to the last two light machine guns with dense rotating heat sinks on the outer chambers, this gun was designed by Beihai Precision Machinery Factory, otherwise it is possible to tailor this copper thermal conductive sheet for the barrel, however, this design obviously does not meet the requirements of cheap and high-quality military guns, looking at the glittering light machine gun, it is a beautiful handicraft, not like a murderous weapon at all.

He glanced at Huang Biao and the group of engineers behind him, and then smiled casually and unhurriedly, "This design is very exquisite......

Hearing that there are still a lot of problems with this light machine gun, this reason can dispel the idea of snatching it on the spot by the gang of military leaders behind him, and the army mounted artillery and 80mm howitzers displayed afterwards are all heavy firepower that the army has been waiting for for a long time, which inevitably makes the military leaders think about it in pieces.

A few days later, before Qin Kai and a large number of military leaders were in charge of the light machine gun design, Engineer Huang, who was in charge of the design of the light machine gun, unexpectedly received a letter from the director of the test site, which contained only five scribbled words - detachable barrel.

At this moment, Qin Kai, who is attending the inauguration ceremony of the Naval Heroes Monument in Port Arthur, naturally does not care about the excitement of the Yellow Label engineer after getting this mention, after all, in today's automatic firepower has just become possible, engineers always like to use the most scientific design to solve the problem, but no one will use this most primitive method to solve the heat dissipation problem.
