Chapter 495: Clapper
SG550! This gun, military fans in later generations should also be very familiar, this is in the CS B45 and B48, and in the real world, the performance of this assault rifle is also very good.
This kind of gun is also a gun family, the standard SG550 has a bipod, which can improve the stability of shooting, a precision shooting type equipped with a scope, a SWAT tactical type with a front armrest, a semi-automatic sniper type with a long barrel, and even a special forces type that fires Soviet-made AK47 ammunition, a general AK magazine behind enemy lines, sniper, assault, melee combat, behind enemy lines, all kinds of models are available, just a machine gun model, you can use a gun family.
The design concept of the gun family helps to unify logistics and is very suitable for the introduction of a complete set. And this gun, in addition to the gun family, the performance is also quite good.
As the focal point of the automatic rifle, the automatics use the same automatic method as the AKM series with a long-stroke gas-guided piston, with a piston rod connected to the frame and two large locking lugs in the bolt head. Only improvements were made, the reentry spring was wound around the piston rod, located above the barrel. The SG552, with its short barrel and piston rod, moved the reentry spring behind the receiver, above the inside of the frame.
Such a re-entry spring position may have exposed it to the extreme operating temperatures of the piston and piston barrel, which shortened the service life of the spring, which was a disadvantage, however, the Swiss army experimentally believed that such a design was conducive to providing the accuracy of burst fire. You know, the recoil is high, and the poor accuracy of continuous firing has always been the main problem of AK rifles that have been criticized, basically, only God knows where the bullets after three shots will fly.
Another feature of this gun. That is, the magazine used is translucent plastic, and the magazine connection clips are attached on both sides of the magazine wall, so that multiple magazines can be easily connected together in parallel without additional devices.
Plastic magazines can effectively reduce weight, usually using 20-round capacity magazines, with an empty weight of only 95 grams, and even a specially produced 30-round capacity magazine with an empty weight of only 110 grams. Much lower than a steel magazine.
At the same time, the magazine parallel device is also very practical, in actual combat exercises and peacetime training, you can see that the fighters who use this rifle are used in parallel with three magazines together, so that it is convenient to quickly change the magazine in battle, and on the battlefield, one second is the interval between life and death.
However, the magazine is fixed in such a way that the AK hooks in front and hangs in the back. It cannot be used with the NATO 4179 standard magazine, that is, the M16 magazine.
Mhammad held the gun in his hand, fiddled back and forth, and said, "Our technicians, what do you think of this gun?" ”
"This gun was developed in Switzerland the year before last, using a long-stroke gas conduction method, the automatic mechanism is reliable, and the upper receiver is integrated. There are tactical rails for easy installation of various attachments. At the same time, the gun family design, with 5.56 mm and 7.62 mm calibers to choose from, as well as short barrel and standard, as well as extended sniper models to choose from, is very rich. Naras said: "Performance in all aspects. After our evaluation, we are all quite satisfied, however, the shortcomings of this gun also exist, that is, it is too heavy. ”
The gun is too heavy! Ordinary type of firearms. The total weight reached 4.1 kilograms, while other guns of the same era basically controlled the guns within 3.5 kilograms, such as the M16, which was only 3.1 kilograms, and the weight of this kilogram was the weight of eighty bullets! It is believed that any soldier, with the same total weight, prefers to carry several more magazines than bulky guns.
In addition to this one shortcoming, other aspects are very good, after the development of this gun, equipped with many countries, including France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, many countries are equipped with this gun, mainly their special forces equipment.
Being able to be selected by the special forces naturally shows that the performance of this gun is good, and even the Americans are equipped with it, which means that it is definitely better than the performance of the M16.
"If it weren't for the fact that the gun was too heavy, then we would almost have to choose this gun as our standard gun." "Now, Mr. President, let's choose which gun is best suited to our troops," Nalas said. ”
Nalas has long had a big head, and the stakes are so high that it is impossible to be sloppy, and it is undoubtedly very difficult to choose the most suitable one among the world's small arms, each of which has its own disadvantages and its own advantages.
It's been two years since the comparison, and there has been no result, so it's okay to let the president make a decision now that the president is coming.
Musha'd glanced at Musha'f beside him, Musha'f was also looking at Musha'd, the army's standard light weapons, it depends on Mhammad's choice, no matter what it is, Musha'f is supportive, after all, although Musha'f is the chief of staff, in terms of light weapons, he really doesn't know as much as Muhammad.
Mhammad looked at the various light weapons on the shooting range, almost all the light weapons from all over the world were moved, and after all kinds of comparisons and various studies, now, he is waiting for himself to make a decision.
When there are more options, it becomes even more dazzling.
Mhammad knows that he can't make a decision lightly, after all, this is related to the future of Pakistan's army, the main force of the army, the change of light weapons, sloppy.
Which one to choose? If in terms of regional relations, the Type 81 is the best choice, but it has to be greatly improved, if in terms of performance, the SG550 is very suitable, but the gun is too heavy, these, each of which has characteristics and defects, and it is even more difficult to choose.
"Type 81 and SG550, as well as the latest model of the M16, each purchased a batch, about 200 units, to equip our special brigade of the Presidential Guard, and they will conduct trials to determine the most suitable weapons for us." Mhammad said.
It cannot be done behind closed doors, and what is the performance of the weapon and which one is the most suitable is not up to the technicians, but to the front-line users.
In later generations, the 95 gun clan was said to be advanced, but after it arrived in the army, it was not popular, and as a result, when it came to the 03 type, it changed back to the traditional Youtuo structure.
Mhammad can't make a decision easily, let the troops try it out for a while!
Presidential Guard! This is a force that Mhammad built up the year before last, the size of an all-arms synthetic infantry division, and in the plan, it will become a digital infantry division, equipped with a variety of advanced weapons, and the station is in Islamabad.
The soldiers of this force are mainly from the Peshawar Military Region, as well as heroic fighters in the fight against India, and even a few fighters from Afghanistan. More than half of such a force had participated in the fighting, and, another characteristic, was absolute loyalty to Mhammad.
This force, which was newly formed, was directly under the orders of Mhammad, and without his orders, even Musha'af could not have commanded them.
According to the Pakistani system, the army belongs to the state, and the army is loyal to the state, not to the individual, which is also a reason to ensure the stability of the regime.
However, since Mhammad has become the president of Pakistan, he must not follow the old path, and the power of the big families in Pakistan has long been cleaned up by Mhammad, and now, under the governance of Mhammad, Pakistan is full of vitality, and it is time to establish personal prestige. Mhammad never wanted to pass on this position to his son, but it was definitely reserved for those who could follow the course he had set, who could not be corrupt, and who needed to continue to govern Pakistan into a great power.
At the same time, now Mhammad also has to maintain his rule, although Pakistan is still an election system, but no one should be so eyeless to compete with Mhammad for the position of president, otherwise, Mhammad will definitely make him disappear completely, and Mhammad's coming to power is the most powerful military junta in Pakistan's history!
No matter what kind of government, as long as it boosts Pakistan's national economy and allows everyone to live a prosperous life, it is the best government!
Within a few years, Pakistan has undergone earth-shaking changes, and every Pakistani is full of gratitude and admiration for him, and his personal prestige has long been unprecedentedly enhanced.
Therefore, no one will oppose the creation of such a unit by Mhammad, and this unit is also the strongest combat force in Pakistan, all kinds of new equipment will appear in this force first, and the quality of the personnel is the highest, and the training program of this force is formulated by Mhammad himself!
Mhammad wants to equip this unit with these guns first, pass the trial, let the troops evaluate them, and then make a decision.
"Yes, President, it should be the best thing to do." Musha'af then said: "Perhaps, we can also combine the advantages and disadvantages of these guns and develop our own assault rifle that is most suitable for us." ”
Musha'af was just a proposal, but it made Mhammad's eyes light up suddenly, indeed, how could he not think of it!
In addition to the introduction, you can also develop your own! The technology of the guns is not high, the main thing is the design idea and manufacturing process, if you combine the various advantages of these guns to create the most suitable rifle for your own equipment, then even the cost of introduction is saved.
"Naras, are we capable of developing it?" Mhammad asked.
"Yes!" The head of Pakistan's light weapons replied very firmly that in fact, they have been thinking about this issue for the past two years. (To be continued......)
