Anderson and Kerry, the two ministers and deputy secretaries, were shocked, and they originally thought that this time was just a personal favor and a few unimportant little people. If Sweden can promote this rifle to the world, it will not only earn a lot of foreign exchange, but also improve Sweden's international military status, and the two of them will also go down in history because of this.

How could Anderson miss such a great opportunity? Although he was shocked in his heart, he looked calm on the surface, and as a defense minister, he was indeed quite deep.

Anderson frowned, "Oh, your company still has such a product, it seems that I, the Minister of Defense, am not competent enough, and I don't know enough about the situation of domestic arms dealers, okay, you send five hundred new guns to the Department of Defense as soon as possible, if it is indeed as good as you say, we can discuss the follow-up procurement contract." ”

Carl is also a scheming businessman, and at a glance he knew that the two ministers had been tempted, but they didn't show it, maybe they wanted to gain a favorable position in the procurement negotiations later, but this time they came over and brought five sample guns, maybe taking them out will make the two ministers' eyes fall to the ground, right?

Thinking of this, Karl said lightly: "Your Excellency, it is better to be like this, we came here this time and brought five sample guns, please appreciate them." We have already conducted preliminary tests, and there are many rifles whose performance surpasses the mainstream on the market today, and as for the 500 prototypes for free trial, we guarantee that they will be delivered to the Ministry of Defense within half a month. What do you think? ”

Anderson was surprised, "Oh, then I'd like to see what makes this revolutionary firearm unique." Well, let's go to the shooting range now, and I'm going to experience it for myself! ”

Karl's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Okay, Your Excellency, then let's take a look at the performance of the new assault rifle." ”

The group came to Stockholm's largest shooting range, which belongs to the garrison territory, and the manager of the shooting range was also flattered by the arrival of the Minister of Defense, knowing that officials of this level are rarely seen once a year, and if they perform well, they will definitely be promoted and reused, which is a good opportunity.

When Philip and Carl pulled five new assault rifles out of their car, Anderson and Kerry had a longing light in their eyes, like a wolf looking at a sheep hungry.

Anderson thought to himself, my God, the shape of this gun is too unexpected, completely different from the rifles currently equipped in various countries, full of metal, and it looks like a good gun. Moreover, this gun also seems to use some plastic parts, so the whole gun is a kind of black, giving people a sense of oppression, and the most special thing is the big grip, and the long magazine, I'm afraid there is a lot of ammunition.

Anderson couldn't wait to grab an assault rifle from Carl's hand, looked it up and down, left and right, and really loved it. Deputy Minister Kerry also took one from Philip, but after fiddling with it for a while, he couldn't do it.

Kerry shook his head helplessly with the gun and said, 'My God, I won't use this new gun at all, Mr. Karl, tell us about it.' ’

Karl laughed: "I don't blame the two ministers, even when I first got this gun, I also made jokes." Let's talk about its designer, Mr. Philip. ”

Philip nodded and said, "All right, Your Excellency the two ministers. I'll first take the gun apart and tell you about the structure of this new rifle. Its name is called assault rifle, that is to say, it is a firearm between a submachine gun and a rifle, it has both the continuous fire of a submachine gun, and the long range and great power close to that of a rifle, and at the same time simple structure and high reliability. ”

After saying that, Philip moved quickly with both hands, and in less than fifteen seconds, he disassembled the assault rifle in his hand into a pile of parts.

Carl and Anna had already seen it, and Anderson, Kerry, the guards and the range manager who were present were already dumbfounded, and the method of quickly disassembling the firearm was like performing a magic trick, so fast that people couldn't see clearly, and it was shocking to watch and artistic.

Philip also ignored the shock of the crowd and continued: "Everyone, please see, this gun is composed of a barrel, upper and lower receivers, covers, grips, foldable stocks, fast and slow machines, re-entry springs, firing mechanisms and other parts. Its barrel adopts a refined refining process to ensure the life of the barrel and shooting accuracy, and the barrel length is shorter than that of ordinary rifles, so its effective firing range is 400 meters, the maximum firing range is 600 meters, the length of the whole gun is 910 mm, if the butt is folded, it is shortened to 780 mm, and the gun weighs no more than 3.9 kg, which is very easy to carry. ”

Anderson interjected, "Oh, Mr. Philip, but I don't understand why you reduced the effective range to four hundred meters, you must know that the effective range of rifles nowadays is more than six hundred meters. Although the gun has become lighter and smaller, is this range enough? ”

Philip said seriously: "Your Excellency, Honorable Minister, you have a good question. You must know that most of the battles between infantry on the battlefield in the future will be at a distance of two or three hundred meters, so the current rifle range is too far and completely unnecessary. This is the revolution in weapon design brought about by the military revolution. Now, I've designed the assault rifle to be shorter and more streamlined, with the aim of making it easier for infantry to carry and use. This is an automatic rifle that can be fired single, in short bursts, and in bursts. With a bullet caliber of only 5.8 millimeters, it increased the ammunition carrying capacity of infantry by more than 30 percent. Moreover, its magazine capacity is thirty rounds, which is more than two times more than that of non-automatic rifles such as Mauser guns, and its fire power is very strong, and if you replace it with a hundred rounds of drums, it becomes a light machine gun. ”

Anderson said curiously, "Oh, there's still such a lot of firepower. It's just that the caliber of this bullet seems to be too small, so won't the power become weaker? ”

Philip then explained: "Your Excellency, this small-caliber bullet has not only not become less powerful, but has increased, and let me tell you the truth about it. First of all, the caliber of the bullet has become smaller, the body of the bullet has become lighter, coupled with the adjustment of the propellant, the muzzle velocity of the bullet after the discharge of the chamber has increased by more than 30 percent compared with that of a large-caliber rifle, and can reach 900 meters per second. The penetration rate of 3 mm thick steel plates at a distance of 400 meters is 100 percent, and the penetration depth of pine boards is up to 150 mm. This is something that current large-caliber rifles cannot do. ”
