"If we can make five or six semi-automatic, then we can also directly build five or six fully automatic. It doesn't take much, build it 10,000 Aks, and definitely beat the world. ”
Otaku Wang Ruobin's biggest dream after coming to the Ming Dynasty is "100,000 sweep the world", in order to complete his great dream, these days he and the comrades in the steel machinery have a lot of exchanges, but for the time being, they have not reached the necessary technical conditions.
"We can always make flintlock pistols, let's make some flintlock pistols first."
Pang Yu lowered his requirements, but he was immediately pointed out that he had made another layman's mistake - the previous request to directly build an automatic rifle was too high, but the flintlock pistol was too low compared to their current technical level.
"The key takeaway: flintlock pistols are nothing new in Europe in this era. The first flintlock pistols were invented in the XVI century, and by the middle of the XVII century, I remember about the year, the elite troops of France were already quite a bit equipped. If we still equip our troops with flintlock muskets, we may not be able to take much advantage of the Europeans in the future. ”
Ling Ning touched his chin with the only hand he could still move, and slowly analyzed:
"Of course, the Europeans are only equipped with early models, but the principle of similar gun types is always the same. In the event of a conflict with us, sooner or later samples will be obtained from us, and a technological breakthrough will not be too difficult...... In contrast, if the ammunition is loaded directly with a primer, it is easier to keep the technical secret in the case that the chemical industry is not in place. ”
So a group of people began to discuss technical issues again, and all kinds of professional terms filled the conference room again, and in the end, several people in the military team couldn't stand it, and Tang Jian slapped the table directly:
"Alright, don't show off your knowledge of firearms!"
"No matter what gun type you choose, the end user is our army. Let's just put forward the requirements directly, whatever model you choose, or even if you develop it yourself. As long as it meets our requirements! ”
As he spoke, the former armed police officer slapped a few pieces of paper that had been prepared on the table, and a group of technical maniacs suddenly realized that they should have done it a long time ago, and then everyone rushed to see those technical requirements.
The military group has obviously been deliberate, and the weapons requirements put forward are not too outrageous compared to the current collective technical capabilities, but they are by no means easy to do......
First of all, it is used as a ground firearm for the army with advanced technology. In terms of the most important launch speed, of course, it is required to be absolutely above this era, and the specific number is not limited. But taking into account the possibility of a battle with the Mongol or Manchurian cavalry in the north in the future. The new gun is required to be able to fire at least three or four rounds in its effective range when facing the enemy's cavalry charge at full speed.
Second, the bullets must have sufficient stopping effect, and when a normal person is hit in the torso, he should quickly lose the ability to continue attacking, and it is absolutely not allowed to have the situation of shooting and jumping alive with one shot and two eyes.
After reading this one. The masses have expressed their affection one after another. This one is very easy to do: expanding the caliber of the barrel and using the appropriate projectile material and shape can ensure that the projectile will shatter or roll after hitting the human body, even if there is really any martial arts master in the Ming Dynasty, it will still be knocked down with one shot.
However, the third rule made many people dumbfounded - it was required to fully consider the needs of close hand-to-hand combat when designing the length of the gun body, the position of the handguard handle, and the weight of the butt. That is, this gun in addition to normal shooting. The end must be able to stab, and the wheel must be able to smash. The new army will no longer be equipped with other hand-to-hand weapons, and long-range melee combat is all this set.
The fourth is to directly inherit the previous article -- the body of the gun is required to be strong. Resistant to beating, the structure should be as simple as possible, easy to disassemble and maintain. In addition, all parts should be interchangeable on the battlefield as much as possible. Because there is no guarantee that these parts will continue to be used after the most intense hand-to-hand combat, temporary replacement and repair is very important.
Fifth, and finally, it is necessary to be able to adapt to the needs of logistical support, especially to the arsenal's ability to manufacture Q-bombs - this is particularly mentioned by the military group, because they have always lacked copper materials to make Q-bomb shells, and now they rely on collecting copper. Smelting copper coins. and the recycling and reloading of old cartridge shells to solve the problem, but it can only meet the needs of the current dozens of firearms. Once new guns were made in large quantities. It's definitely not enough.
After reading these requirements, the conference room that was still noisy just now quieted down, and the copycat firearms experts who were still roaring just now were all dumbfounded, and after a while, Xu Hui took the lead in nodding:
"Yes, firearms are always born in response to the times, and under certain scientific and technological and production conditions, to meet the needs of a certain battlefield, the most suitable firearms will naturally appear. However, the situation we are facing today is very different from the normal situation in history, and those century-famous guns can only be used as a reference. Only the firearms designed by ourselves and best adapted to our current actual conditions are the best weapons. ”
"You're absolutely right."
Beiwei, Ma Qianshan and the others smiled ill-intentionedly, and actually took out a large number of texts from their arms and put them in front of Xu Gong:
"As you said, only the most suitable weapons are good, so we will work well with the technical department to develop the most suitable weapons for us......"
The two documents were quite formal, with their respective contents clearly written on the cover, but after Engineer Xu glanced at them, his glasses fell to the table with a click......
"On the use of mines and grenades in the previous actual combat and the improvement of the construction of yì"
"Actual combat parameters of 207mm caliber mortars, and preliminary ideas for the development of new artillery"
The equipment meeting came to an end for the time being, and the heads of the various production teams met their heads and gathered together to discuss the requirements put forward by the military group. And dismissed, Wen Desi and others found Tang Jian and quietly consulted him with questions in their hearts:
"Team Tang, judging by your requirements for weapons, it seems that the new army in the future does not plan to adopt linear array tactics?"
Tang Jian looked at them suspiciously:
"What line array tactics?"
"It's training soldiers to line up in arrays and shoot at the same time. It was still in use until the nineteenth century, and it was quite a mature tactical system. As long as we train a few thousand of these soldiers, equipped with slightly more advanced muskets, we will definitely be invincible in this era. ”
"No, I don't agree with you."
Pang Yu came over from behind at this time and directly objected:
"Line arrays are outdated, and we shouldn't be developing that kind of thing at all."
"It's far from obsolete in this era, it's just emerging."
Wen Deji retorted unhappily, in his opinion, Pang Yu was an absolute amateur in war and war history, but the latter obviously didn't care about this disdain, and still shrugged his shoulders very easily:
"Don't be so rigid, guys. Maybe it's not backward now, but its essential shortcomings are still zài. Weapons have to be adapted to our actual situation, and the same is true for tactics. The linear array, just like the spear array that the previous gang of Q asked for, is essentially a struggle for manpower consumption, and human resources are what we lack the most. ”
As he spoke, Pang Yu casually built a stone Q and drew two lines on the ground:
"In the future, if you fight an opponent, as long as the opponent is a regular army, you must have long-range weapons. If we stand in one or several rows and approach each other, there will inevitably be a group of people who will be unlucky. ”
"With the firearms technology of the current era, this kind of damage will not be too great."
Xie Xi said with confidence, but Pang Yu smiled noncommittally:
"yes, it's not up to us. The Thirty Years' War of Religion in Germany, which was taking place, seemed to have broken up the Swedish artillery on more than one occasion when the phalanx of the HRE army had already been broken up by the Swedish artillery. Even if the other side did not have artillery, the Ming army or the European army had firearms, and the Mongols or Manchus also had bows and arrows...... And, don't forget, our opponents aren't computers, they learn and improve. War is never a one-sided affair, and no one can guarantee that our weapons will not be lost to the enemy in the future, or even copied by them. Even if there is no imitation, Lao Ling also said just now, now that France is equipped with a large number of flintlock pistols, it will not be difficult for them to learn to line up to shoot, right? ”
Wen Deji was stunned, and although it was a bit premature to worry about this now, it didn't seem to be unfounded.
"So what?"
"How? Then there is the repetition of the 19th-century example of soldiers shooting each other face to face to see who could not stand it and flee first. Even if we can win every time, even if we don't suffer more than ten casualties at a time...... Arwen, Lao Jie, let you command such a battle, will you stand at the front of the queue? If we, the commanders, refuse to do such a thing, why should we ask our subordinates to work like this? In the history of China, there has never been an army like Europe that can stand in line in the face of bullets and bullets, so you are so sure that you will be able to train it? ”
