The next 400 meters test will test the performance of the rifle even more. After two rounds of shooting, the results also surprised Anderson and Kerry.

In the 400-meter shooting, five people used Mauser rifles, and the results were okay, Anderson 90 rings, Kerry 88 rings, Philip 90 rings, Lucas 88 rings, Carl 87 rings, and an average of 89 rings.

And with the new assault rifle, the results are much better, Anderson 95 rings, Kerry 90 rings, Philip 94 rings, Lucas 92 rings, Carl 90 rings. The average grade is 92 rings.

In this way, it is clear that the advantages of the new assault rifle in terms of shooting accuracy can be clearly seen. Since the results were scored by the same person using two rifles, the human factor had very little effect.

Anderson smiled and said to Karl: "Mr. Karl, your assault rifle is indeed very good, this shooting accuracy is completely comparable to some sniper rifles, now I am very interested in this assault rifle, I think it will definitely have a great future, and it will become a small weapon that countries will compete to equip in the future." Your Bofors company will also make a name for itself and become a leader in the arms industry! I wonder if you guys have named this new assault rifle? I think it has to have a resounding name to be worthy of it. ”

Carney smiled, "Your Excellency, we haven't come up with a suitable name yet, and we are asking Your Excellency the Minister to name it so that it can be worthy of its status in the world of light weapons." I wonder if Your Excellency the Minister can give you a name?"

Anderson thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you call it Gungnir, in myths and legends, this Gungnir is an artifact held by the main god Odin, which means the Eternal Spear." The power of this gun is quite simple and powerful, and it will definitely hit the target as soon as it is thrown, and it is a magic spear that hits every shot. I think the performance of the new assault rifle is comparable to that of the Eternal Gun. ”

Karl is worthy of being a generation of sycophants, and I saw him clapping his hands and exclaiming: "Your Excellency, this name is so good, we are all a little flattered!" I believe that with His Excellency the Minister personally naming it, this assault rifle will definitely become a famous gun of a generation! ”

Anderson's old face was also quite thick and dark, and there was nothing unusual at all, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay! Now that we've seen how accurate the Gungnir assault rifle is, we'll see how powerful its bullets are, and how well it adapts to harsh environments. ”

The range manager hurriedly arranged for the steel and pine planks to be arranged, and this time the comparative test was to arrange 10 mm steel plates, 3 mm steel plates, and 200 mm pine planks at a distance of 100 meters, 400 meters, and 600 meters, respectively, to see how well the two rifles could penetrate these items.

Philip was confident that the test results in another time and space showed that the 5.8×42mm rifle ammunition was not inferior to the M437.62×39 ammunition in terms of range and penetration. At medium and close ranges, modern small-caliber weapons can definitely guarantee ideal performance without increasing the weight and recoil of the projectile. At the same time, the performance of the 5.8×42 ammunition at a distance of 600 meters also comprehensively surpassed the old 7.62×51 and 7.62×39 medium-caliber bullets. Therefore, for this penetration test, Philip is not worried, if it is said to be more than 800 meters of penetration, it is not comparable, because the range of small-caliber assault rifles is not that far.

Seeing Philip's confidence, Anderson walked up to him and asked, "Mr. Philip seems to be very confident in the assault rifle he designed!" ”

Philip smiled: "Your Excellency, as a weapon designer, if you have no confidence in the product you have designed, then this weapon must be a failed weapon. I am sure that the Gungnir assault rifle will be able to comprehensively surpass ordinary rifles in terms of the main performance parameters. ”

Anderson reached out and patted Philip on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Okay, young designer, I am very optimistic about you!" If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me directly! ”

Philip didn't expect Minister Anderson to say such a thing, the meaning of this is that Philip can come to Minister Anderson without making an appointment in the future, this kind of treatment is not something ordinary people can have, even Carl, as the owner of a small arms company, needs to use his connections to meet Minister Anderson. And now Philip is equivalent to having a special pass, which can go directly to the Ministry of Defense, which shows that Anderson also saw Philip's extraordinary, this scheming minister understands that Philip is not a thing in the pool, and will one day turn into a dragon and take off, rather than wooing him at that time, it is better to win him over before he is not developed, and it is always better to send charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake.

Philip doesn't know whether this is good or bad, and getting in touch with a big man like the Minister of Defense may be something that many people dream of, but Philip also knows that he must not get too close to the Minister of Defense, otherwise once he gets involved in high-level struggles, he will be in big trouble. But if he can grasp it well, this defense chief will definitely become a big help for himself to create an arsenal empire in the future.

Philip figured out what was at stake, so he pretended to be flattered and said, "Your Excellency the Minister really thinks highly of me, and I, Philip, will definitely remember the words of Your Excellency the Minister." ”

As he spoke, the range manager panted and ran to Anderson and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, you're ready to start the competition." ”

Anderson nodded and smiled at Philip, "Alright, Philip, let's get started!" ”

The five people walked to the shooting position separately, and this time it was not to shoot at the target, so they did not have to shoot in a lying position, but in a standing position.

It was Secretary Anderson who fired first, and he expertly put the butt of his Mauser rifle against the shoulder socket, took a slight aim, and then began to shoot as soon as he pulled the bolt. The Mauser rifle is a manual rifle that needs to be manually loaded and the used cartridge case is removed from the chamber.

The other four saw Minister Anderson start firing, and only then did they shoot at a target a hundred meters away in the same way. Ten rounds were fired at a 10-millimetre thick steel plate 100 metres away, followed by 10 rounds each at a 3-millimetre steel plate at a distance of 400 metres and 600 metres at a distance of 200 millimetres thick pine. This shot took a total of about three minutes.

Soon, the range staff reported the results. The 7.92 mm light-tipped round, fired from the Mauser 1898 rifle, has a penetration rate of 50 per cent against a 10 mm thick steel plate at a distance of 100 m, 75 per cent against a 3 mm plate at a distance of 400 m, and a penetration depth of 183 mm against a 200 mm penetration at a distance of 600 m.

As soon as this result came out, Philip knew that the Gungnir 5.8 mm small-caliber assault rifle had won, and sure enough, after the second round of Gungnir assault rifle firing, the result was: 100% penetration rate for 10 mm thick steel plate at a distance of 100 meters, 100% penetration rate for 3 mm steel plate at a distance of 400 meters, and 181 mm penetration depth for 200 mm at a distance of 600 meters.

Judging from this result, at 100 and 400 meters, the Gungnir 5.8 mm small-caliber assault rifle has an absolute advantage, and at 600 meters it is basically the same as the Mauser 1898 rifle.

Anderson said happily: "Philip, this Gungnir assault rifle you designed really deserves the title of Eternal Spear!" It's time for our Swedish army to get rid of the rifles it is currently equipped with and replace them with Gungnir assault rifles! ”
