In the first round of shooting accuracy tests, the new assault rifle achieved good results, which made Philip's confidence increase a few points, he believes that as long as there are no accidents, the new assault rifle will be able to pass the type test smoothly, and when the time comes, it will shock the world, after all, this is a revolution in gun design and manufacturing. It pioneered the small-caliber and generalization of rifles.

The second round of tests was the power of the new assault rifle. The test was conducted using steel and pine planks of different thicknesses, and the penetration of 5.8 mm bullets against steel and pine planks was tested at different distances with the new assault rifle. The other is to use beef and mutton to simulate the human body to test the destructive power of the small-caliber bullets of the new assault rifle to the human body.

Philip picked up a 5.8 mm bullet and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the new assault rifle adopts a 5.8 mm caliber design, its length is 42 mm, the bullet weighs 4.25 grams, and the total weight of the bullet is 12.8 grams, which is about 6 grams lighter than the 7.92 mm bullet of the Mauser rifle, but its muzzle velocity is large, so the bullet is more penetrating." We want to test the penetration of this small-caliber bullet at a distance of 100 meters, 400 meters and 600 meters. Or in groups of 10 people, separately. At a distance of 100 meters, the penetration of the bullet against a 10 mm thick cold-rolled steel plate and a 400 mm pine plate was tested. ”

It was a pleasure to shoot freely at the steel plates, and the shooters were eager to try it, and when the testers had put the steel and pine planks in place, the shooters were ready to shoot.

The sound of "da-da" was incessant, and each shooter was holding back his strength to see if his bullet could penetrate the thick steel and wooden planks. The bullets hit the steel plate a hundred meters away like a torrential rain, but it was not the kind of sound that should be deserved, but the sound of plopping, it turned out that the steel plate was easily penetrated by the bullet, and when the shooters finished shooting a magazine bullet, those steel plates almost turned into a net full of holes.

Next, after changing to a new magazine, the shooters opened fire on the pine planks a hundred meters away. If the new assault rifle can penetrate this thickness of the plank, then the enemy may be able to penetrate the tree and then continue to hit the human body, even if the enemy hides behind a tree in battle.

The bullets hit the thick pine planks like a torrential rain, and with an inaudible roar, they all penetrated.

After the testers took back the steel plate and wooden board, everyone couldn't help but gasp, the power of this bullet was too great! If you change to a Mauser rifle, I'm afraid that even a bullet won't be able to wear it!

Carl was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect this assault rifle to be really powerful, it seems that the Bofors company is about to soar into the sky, set off a rifle revolution in the international arms market, and will definitely make a lot of money at that time.

The test results came out, and at a distance of 100 meters, the 5.8 mm bullet fired by the new assault rifle had a 100 percent penetration rate against a 10 mm thick steel plate! The penetration rate against 400 mm pine planks is also an astonishing 100 percent! And judging by the dispersion of the warhead after passing through the steel and planks, after penetrating thick steel and planks, the bullet still has a certain lethality!

In the next 400 meters and 600 meters, 3 mm thick steel plates and 200 mm thick pine planks are used, and whether or not they can penetrate the steel plates at such a long distance is related to whether they can effectively penetrate the enemy's helmet and protection in battle. With the good results of the 100-meter test, Philip is confident that this bullet will definitely be able to penetrate 100% of the 3mm steel plate!

Karl asked with some concern: "Philip, 100 meters is no problem, but I am a little worried about 400 meters and 600 meters, the bullet caliber is small and the weight is light, I don't know if the long-distance penetration will work?" ”

Philip smiled confidently: "Mr. Karl, please wait and see, I believe that the new assault rifle will not disappoint us!" ”

The results of the next 400 meters and 600 meters were very exciting! At a distance of four hundred meters, the bullet penetrated one hundred percent against 3 mm thick steel plates and 200 mm thick wooden boards! At a distance of 600 meters, the penetration rate of the bullet against 3 mm thick steel plates was 97%, and the penetration depth of 200 mm boards reached 170 mm!

After this test, the new assault rifle performed well, and it really deserves to be the king of future rifles!

The reliability of the assault rifle, which fired hundreds of rounds in a row, was not at all faulty, but it had to go through a real reliability test before it was basically verified.

Reliability testing requires firing a large number of bullets under different environmental conditions to test the failure rate of firearms. This time, the reliability test of the new gun was scheduled for the afternoon, because it would take several hours to test the reliability of the new gun in a simulated environment.

During the break, Karl happily sat down next to Philip, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Philip, you are really my blessing!" With this new assault rifle, our position in the international arms market will be further enhanced. I almost can't believe that this new gun can be developed in a month, and if this news is released, I'm afraid no one will believe it! ”

Philip is well aware that the design and development of a new firearm is a very long process, which requires trial and error, and various tests may even reach tens of thousands of times. And I just brought ready-made things, of course, I can complete the development so quickly. Take the 5.8mm small-caliber bullet that was commonly equipped in later generations as an example, from the early 70s to the early 90s, which took more than 20 years, the aerodynamic analysis and calculation of the shape of the warhead took several years. If a small bullet is still like this, other weapons and equipment can be imagined.

In that time and space, in 1971, the state carried out the demonstration of military small-caliber rifles. More than 100 units participated in the demonstration of caliber, gunpowder, and firearms, including 27 factories, three research institutes, two academies, one training base, and relevant troops, and the demonstration work lasted eight years. The original design has 5 different diameters to choose from, namely 5.6mm, 5.8mm, 5.81mm, 5.98mm, 6mm. There are multiple schemes for each caliber, and each caliber scheme is equipped with multiple schemes of guns, as well as gunpowder and primers, and there are multiple recipe schemes. This shows the amount of work.

Philip laughed and said: "Mr. Karl, even I can't believe that the development and testing will go so smoothly, I originally estimated that some design and manufacturing problems will be exposed during the testing process, and then after some modifications and improvements to complete the development process, this time I left for three months, if the test results can reach the design indicators now, it is equivalent to shortening the time by two-thirds." In this way, new guns can be brought to market faster. ”
