In addition to Philip being interviewed by reporters, Carl and other senior executives of the company were also interviewed by reporters, these reporters are from the world's famous newspapers such as "The Times", "Red Star", "Washington Post" and so on.

This time, even Philip did not expect that news media reporters would automatically come to the door. So the defense show must have been hyped up, and Philip just had to give his comments on the rifle design revolution to these famous newspapers.

Both sides hit it off and take what they need, so why not?

A few days later, a report on the Stockholm International Defense Exhibition was published in the important pages of famous newspapers around the world, and there was also a review article on the theory of rifle design, which was none other than Philip's "On the Revolution in Rifle Design". In the article, Philip wrote:

Due to the emergence of guns, the form of war has been changed, and human warfare has gradually changed from the era of cold weapons to the era of **. According to historical records, in 1259, the Southern Song Dynasty first used bamboo to make a body tube, and used gunpowder to burn to produce gas to shoot out the fire rifle of Ziyi. Because bamboo pipes are easy to be burned and exploded, at the end of the 13th century, China was the first to invent a metal tubular shooting firearm - fire guns. And in the Yuan and Ming Dynasty armies, a large number of equipment, the role of fire guns is also increasing. According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang's Xu Da attacked Pingjiang, and in November 1366, Xu Da led an army of 200,000 to surround Pingjiang and carry out the final battle to annihilate Zhang Shicheng's forces. Build a long fence outside the city, "erect a wooden platform and float in the city, etc., stationed in Taiwan three floors, look down at the city, call the enemy building, apply a bow and crossbow on each floor, fire on it, and set up Xiangyang cannon to attack it" under the attack of the fire gun, Zhang Shicheng's department suffered heavy casualties, in the second year of the siege, Zhang Shicheng's younger brother Zhang Shixin was also hit in the head by the projectile of the larger fire gun "Copper General" and died.

On February 24, 1525, Spain, with England and the Pope, formed an anti-French alliance and fought with the French king France I on the Parvia plateau, using the phalanx of "Muscot" arquebuses and cold weapons to inflict heavy damage on the French cavalry and capture the French king. After France was released, it went to war several times and suffered several defeats. The Spanish musketeers also dominated Europe.

At the beginning of the 16th century, flint guns appeared in Germany, which relied on a steel runner with a clockwork to rub the flint to fire it, and soon this flint gun was equipped by the German army. In the mid-16th century, Germany and France were at war, and the German cavalry was armed with revolver muskets, while the French were still old-fashioned arquebuses. In the middle of the battle, the sudden strong wind and torrential rain poured down, and the arquebus fired one shot after another, but the German army became more and more brave and won the victory.

The runner type has many disadvantages, such as complex structure, maintenance trouble, etc., so, at the end of the 16th century, there was a flint gun that uses impact to make the flint fire, it is simple in structure, more convenient to use, and also improves the rate of fire, plus the improvement of the production process, the impact type was heavily equipped, and later was imitated and improved by various countries until the middle of the 19th century.

According to historical records, the first attempt to reload ammunition was made by the French, but it failed due to the leakage of gunpowder gases due to the lack of sealing at the end of the barrel. In 1807, the Englishman Forsyth invented the fire cap containing the firing charge, and the fire cap can be fired into the chamber, and then there was a fixed gun cartridge that integrates the warhead, propellant, and bullet shell with metal primer, and the use of fixed ammunition greatly simplifies the operation of loading the bullet from the tail of the barrel, which is convenient for sealing the gunpowder gas, creating conditions for the universal use of the rear loading gun, and is a major breakthrough in the history of firearm development.

In 1835, the Germans successfully developed the Delessy rifle, which consisted of a barrel, a bolt, a launcher and a butt, and fired a paper shell. He uses a spiral rifling to strike the primer of the bullet with a firing pin, firing a fixed type of bullet, called a firing pin gun.

In the middle of the 19th century, monolithic metal cartridge casings with pre-primed primers appeared, and tubular magazines for 8 rounds appeared. When firing, the shooter can shoot the bullets from the magazine one after another, which significantly increases the combat rate of fire.

In 1884, France successfully developed smokeless gunpowder, which reduced the residue after gunpowder burning, coupled with the improvement of metal deep hole processing technology, the rifle caliber was further reduced to less than 8mm, and the muzzle velocity of the warhead was increased.

From the history of the development of firearms, it can be found that the invention and improvement of gunpowder and the invention and improvement of fixed-loading guns and ammunition have fundamentally promoted the development of firearms; The development of weapons manufacturing technology, especially the improvement of deep hole processing technology and metal materials and thermal processing, has continuously reduced the caliber and weight of weapons, and continuously improved their performance; The exigencies of war are an important driving force for the development of weapons. New weapons such as the newly invented Maxine machine gun, which consumes a lot of ammunition, have broken through many obstacles and developed rapidly due to the urgent needs of war; With the deepening of the understanding of the structure of the gun and the principle of automatics, many new inventions emerged. From the musket gun to the flint gun, from the front-loading gun to the rear-loading gun and the automatic gun, the structure of the firearm gradually matured.

Infantry firearms are developing towards small-caliber and automation. The benefits of this are obvious, first of all, the weight of the bullet is reduced, and the ammunition carrying capacity is increased. Secondly, the recoil impulse is low, and the recoil kinetic energy and recoil are small. Again, the direct range is long, and it is easy to hit the active target. In addition, it saves raw materials, which is conducive to production, storage, transportation and supply. Finally, due to the improved structure and performance of the warhead, coupled with the high muzzle velocity, the penetration and lethality in the effective range are improved, and the volume of the cavity formed in the human body is larger than that of traditional bullets, and the wound outlet area is also larger.

At the end of the article, Philip wasted no time in introducing the newly developed Gungnir assault rifle from Bofors. According to the analysis of early combat data, most infantry encounters took place within 400m, so the use of large-caliber rifle ammunition was unnecessary and wasteful, and the recoil generated when used was large, which was difficult for the shooter's shoulder to bear, and not easy to control, and the accuracy of continuous fire was very poor. For this reason, small-caliber automated assault rifles will become the standard equipment of infantry in various countries in the near future, thus replacing the current large-caliber manual rifles. The Gungnir assault rifle uses a 5.8 mm caliber, which has better shooting accuracy and medium and short-range power than large-caliber rifles, and uses a large number of aluminum alloy and plastic parts in the design, and is designed to fold the holder, which greatly reduces the length and weight of the rifle, making it easy for infantry to carry. In addition, the caliber of bullets has been reduced and it is automatic, and the magazine has been changed from the current 5 to 10 rounds to 30 rounds, improving the firepower of individual soldiers.

In the article, Philip pointed out that the Gungnir assault rifle will be unveiled at this year's Stockholm International Defense Show, and buyers from all over the world are welcome to try it out on the spot, and even at the shooting event held at the defense exhibition, visitors will be arranged to experience it for themselves and compete with other rifles.

As soon as Philip's article came out, it immediately attracted wide attention from the international arms community, and in addition, the organization that hosted the Stockholm International Defense Exhibition was the Bofors Company, so many designers scoffed at it, and some people even published articles refuting Philip and the Stockholm International Defense Exhibition in major newspapers. It can be said that one stone stirs up a thousand waves, and such a result is exactly what Philip wants.
