Chapter 493: Shooting Range

The aircraft carrier formation passed through the Strait of Malacca, a golden waterway connecting the Pacific and Indian Oceans, as well as an important channel for communication between East and West.

Back then, Zheng He went to the Western Ocean several times, and he anchored here, and now, with the prosperity of maritime trade, it has also become an important passage.

Haziz looked at the scenery on both sides of Malacca, this is a strategic place, if Pakistan can control this, it can ensure that the flow between Pakistan and China is unimpeded!

"According to the pictures sent by the reconnaissance satellites of Huaxia, all the missile boats in the ports of the Vietnamese Navy have been sunk." At this moment, Hussein reported to Haziz.

The Pakistani Navy is far away from Vietnam, and aircraft carriers and aircraft cannot reach it, and everything there is observed through the reconnaissance satellites of Huaxia, so although the explosion has already occurred, it will be a few hours later, and the answer will not be found until the reconnaissance satellites pass over it.

Looking at the pictures taken, Haziz nodded repeatedly: "Yes, well done!" ”

Last night, those frogman detachments had already returned to the aircraft carrier, separated from the Huaxia nuclear submarines, and the two sides returned to their respective sails.

The Vietnamese's port defense is very weak, and there is no advanced listening equipment, so the frogs will easily succeed, of course, this is also related to their lack of prevention, this tactic can only be used once, and the second time is not good.

In modern warfare, reconnaissance satellites will play an increasing role, and the road to the modernization of the Pakistani army is a long way to go, for example. Reconnaissance satellites, Pakistan is still blank, these blanks. It will be filled one by one by Pakistani technicians.

Pakistan's aircraft carrier group, along the course, returned to Pakistan, and in Pakistan, Islamabad, Mhammad was enthusiastically patrolling the shooting range.

This is the firing range of small arms, at this time. The guns that are being fired are varied.

There are 56 types and 81 types of Huaxia. There are also American-made M16s, various guns from Western Europe, and the sound of shooting on the shooting range.

"This is the Type 56 submachine gun that we are armed with the most in number." Muhammad picked up a gun, and Mushaaf, who was next to him, said to him.

Type 56 submachine gun! This is a classic rifle produced in Huaxia.

back then. When China had just been liberated. The troops still use Wanguo brand weapons, mainly Type 53 rifles, Japanese Type 38 rifles and American M1903 Chuntian rifles, the caliber is different, the performance is different, and it brings great difficulties to logistics, so after the liberation of China, the first task. It is to produce a standard rifle to redress the army across the country.

And at the time. The relationship between Huaxia and the Soviet Big Brother was quite good, and the Soviet Big Brother provided comprehensive assistance to Huaxia. Huaxia's weapons development also began on the basis of comprehensive introduction. All technical data, production equipment and even samples were imported directly from the Soviet Union.

At that time, the most famous rifle in the Soviet Union was the rifle in front of it, and Huaxia almost introduced a full set of production lines, finalized and began mass production in 1956, named Type 56.

This gun was reequipped with a large number of Chinese troops, and due to the tactical thinking of the time, this gun was positioned as a "submachine gun" as a weapon for squad fire support, and was used to provide close suppressive fire.

"Actually, it's the Soviet AK-47 rifle." The head of Pakistan's light arms, explained to Mhammad.

Hearing this, Mhammad couldn't help but shake his head: "AK-47? Then do you know the AKM rifle? ”

AK-47, this is a rifle that everyone in the world talks about, however, people all over the world are wrong, AK-47 is just a transitional state rifle designed by Kalashnikov, the production is not large, later, Kalashnikov improved the milling casing of AK-47 Type 3 with a punching and riveting casing, which greatly reduced production costs, and the new stamping casing is lighter than the stamping casing of AK-47 Type 1 and the milling casing of Type 3, and the improved AKM weighs only 3.15 kg. This gun, which has been passed down to later generations for decades, has become a famous rifle, including the 56 punch in front of you, which is based on AKM, not AK-47.

As soon as Muhammad asked, the person in charge of light weapons beside him immediately blushed: "Report to the president, because AK-47 is the most popular name, if I say AKM, I'm afraid you don't know, so..."

Of course, the person in charge knows, but he is afraid that the president will not know.

Mushaaf patted the person in charge on the shoulder: "Naras, our president, but he has been fighting on the battlefield, I don't know how many times this weapon has been used, you and the president said that it is the most professional, don't act like an amateur." ”

Mhammad is very familiar with these guns, after all, in later generations, as a member of the special forces, all kinds of excellent rifles at home and abroad have been used, and he knows these properties well.

After the 56 Chong equipment troops, participated in the Vietnam War, high quality and low price, welcomed by the third world, known as Huaxia AK, but, like its prototype, the biggest disadvantage of this gun is that the huge recoil energy produces a strong vibration when shooting, especially when firing, it is difficult to control the shaking of the gun body, poor shooting accuracy, and large weight.

It is possible to shoot a shuttle bullet, but if you want to hit the target accurately, you have to go through rigorous training, and this kind of gun has long been outdated.

Mhammad just looked at the gun and put it down again.

On the firing position next to it, a new gun was placed, and Mhammad went over, picked it up, and skillfully made an aiming posture.

"This is Huaxia's latest Type 81 rifle, and it is one of the recommended models among our candidate guns this time." The person in charge said.

Type 81 rifle! This rifle was developed in 79, the design was finalized in 81, and it was officially put into mass production in 83. At that time, the Laoshan front line confirmed the serious shortage of the Type 56 rifle, so the development goal of this gun is to replace the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, Type 56 submachine gun and Type 56 light machine gun that are being equipped with a squad gun family, after the successful development, the first time to equip the front-line troops, in the actual combat confirmed that this is a weapon with excellent performance, good accuracy, reliable action, easy operation and maintenance. Later, a large number of Chinese troops were redressed, and they almost became the standard equipment of the front-line troops.

Compared with the Type 56 rifle, the biggest feature of this gun is the use of a short-stroke piston gas conduction system, which reduces the vibration and greatly improves the shooting accuracy, both the high precision of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and the large firepower of the Type 56 submachine gun, in the battle of Laoshan, at a distance of more than 100 meters, two Type 81 automatic rifles were used to suppress the gun holes of the enemy pillbox, so that they could not fire.

However, this gun still uses the 7.62mm cartridge of the Type 56 rifle. Now, the international trend has begun to miniaturize the caliber, NATO's system is 5.56 mm caliber, while the Soviet Union is 5.45 mm caliber, after many years of comparison, China has officially decided to use 5.8mm caliber small-caliber automatic rifles in the future, so the purpose of the development of this Type 81 gun family is to provide a transitional weapon before equipping small-caliber rifles. It's a pity that the Type 95 of later generations is not effective, which leads to the fact that the troops still like Type 81.

Small caliber is the trend, although the medium caliber such as 7.62 mm warhead kinetic energy is larger, the trajectory is more stable, the range is longer, the penetration is stronger, and the trajectory of the small-caliber bullet is greatly affected by the outside world, such as the wind, jungle leaves, however, the recoil of the small-caliber rifle is small, the accuracy is high, the ammunition weight is light, and it is easy to flip and not penetrate out after hitting the human body, resulting in a greater lethal effect, so the lethality of the formation is greater, so the small caliber is welcomed.

More importantly, it is the carrying capacity of the infantry, the 57-N-231S 7.62mm ordinary ammunition used by AKM weighs 16.3 grams; The SS109/M855 5.56mm ordinary bullet used in the M-16 weighs 12.4 grams.

As for the problem of weak long-range attack ability, it can be achieved by snipers in the infantry squad, each infantry squad has a sniper, using a 7.62 mm caliber sniper rifle, or even a 12.7 mm sniper rifle, which can play a role in long-range killing.

One of the recommended models among the candidate guns! Naras's words also have a deep meaning, now, Pakistan's various industries are developing rapidly, both civilian and military.

Therefore, Pakistan's light weapons should also be in the process of upgrading, and it is also a key content to choose a practical firearm, introduce independent production, and change a large number of equipment to become the main standard weapon of the Pakistan Army.

Although rifles are not valuable compared to airplanes and tanks, the number is huge, and hundreds of thousands of troops have all been reequipped, which is also an important national defense expenditure, so we must be cautious.

Due to the special relationship with Huaxia, Pakistani personnel are also inclined to use Huaxia's weapons, and this Type 81 rifle has been studied for a long time and used it as one of the backup plans.

And for Mhammad, this Type 81 rifle is as familiar as his body, after all, in later generations, when Mhammad first joined the army, he used this rifle, and he was very satisfied with this rifle at that time, but when he entered the special forces and came into contact with various firearms at home and abroad, he began to have his own opinions.
