Chapter 207: Small-caliber bullets

When the Soviet soldiers were taken down, the soldiers carried down boxes of loot from armored vehicles.

"Battalion commander!" Scar grabbed a handful from the wooden box and played with it, and asked curiously, "What kind of gun is this?" Why haven't I seen ...... before?"

"Hmm! I don't know what kind of gun it is! I said, "It just looks a little different in the Vietnamese army's ammunition depot, so I brought it back!" ”

Actually, I should have known, after all, I'm a modern person...... It's a pity that although I can also be regarded as half a military fan, I know more about the equipment of our army, and I don't know so much about the equipment of the Soviet Union.

Scar is an expert when it comes to firearms...... He grabbed the gun and was worried, opened the magazine again, looked at it, and said to himself: "This gun is not simple!" The same ammunition load as the AK47, but at least two pounds lighter than the AK47! ”

Later, I learned that the feel of the scar is indeed very accurate, and this AK74 is indeed two pounds lighter than AK47...... The people who roll on the battlefield are different, but this is normal, because they are grabbing guns every day, and they have long been familiar with the weight of various guns, and even as long as they hold the guns in their hands, they can know whether there are bullets in the magazine.

At this time, I also became curious about guns, and I also took one in my hand and played with it...... But if you look left and right, you just don't see anything famous.

"Hmm!" Scar quickly frowned: "Bullets don't ...... universal"

"What? Bullets are not universal?! "I couldn't help but feel sorry when I heard that...... I thought that both we and Vietnam were using Soviet weapons or copying Soviet weapons, so this bullet must be universal, so I took a great risk to snatch this batch of equipment back. I didn't expect this bullet to be universal.

"This gun probably uses a smaller bullet!" Scar exits a round from the 56-punch magazine and compares it to the barrel of the new gun. Sure enough, our bullets were bigger.

"There are boxes of bullets here!" The soldiers shouted at us from a few meters away. Then a few bullets were thrown in his hand...... Really, although the length is the same, the caliber of the warhead is much smaller.

"Alas!" I couldn't help but sigh and said, "I didn't expect that the things I grabbed back with my life were still a pile of garbage!" ”

"Battalion commander! These things aren't rubbish......" Scar said, weighing the weight of two bullets, "These things should be new Soviet equipment...... That is, it is quite possible that the entire Soviet Union has already been reequipped with such small bullets! ”

"What's the difference between a small bullet and a big one?" Shen Guoxin, who was not far away, interjected: "Let's not mention that this bullet is a little smaller...... And the bigger the bullet, the more powerful it is, isn't it? ”

Scar shook his head and said, "Don't look at this bullet so small...... This is a big difference, and the Soviets may have learned from the Yankees! ”

"Studying beauty?" I couldn't help but be a little strange when I heard this: "How do you say this?" ”

"Remember the Vietnamese M16 rifle we saw when we were dealing with the Vietnamese army's American armorers?" "That was the first assault rifle with a small bullet......"

"Oh!" I couldn't help but nod my head...... At the time of the U.S.-Vietnam War, the Soviet Union was also supporting Vietnam. Therefore, it can be said that it is too easy to seize a few M16s to study and study.

"Although the M16 has many shortcomings and is not suitable for the battlefield in Vietnam, it also has many advantages on the battlefield!" "One of them is this small-caliber bullet......

Scar grabbed the bullet in his hand and raised it at us, saying, "Don't look at the bullet is just a little small...... But when you go to war, who doesn't want to carry a few hundred rounds of ammunition? Like our 56 punch...... We have to carry two or three hundred rounds of ammunition at every turn, if this is already our limit...... Then for the same weight, I can carry at least three hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition! This could have saved your life on the battlefield, and even the life of an entire army! ”

"Oh!" At this time, it dawned on me and the soldiers around me that what Scar said made sense...... You must know that when we are on the battlefield, especially when we are interspersed, we often have to weigh between ammunition and food, which should be more to bring, that is, if we use small bullets...... That means we can bring more bullets or more food.

"Say it again!" Scar continued, "We use a box of 1,440 bullets, if this is a small bullet...... To say the least, there are 2,000 rounds. And then what about a car? Or ten cars, a hundred cars? ”

Listen, I just nodded secretly...... Scar is saying that it can reduce the pressure on logistics and supply, and there are undoubtedly more small bullets that can be transported in the same logistics capacity.

"And it's easier to operate and control with small bullets!" Scar went on to say, "A small bullet means less recoil. The less recoil, the more beneficial it is...... Not to mention that it is easy to control, the spread area of the bullet is also small, that is, the accuracy is higher, and it is easier to hit the target when firing in bursts......"

I know this very well, and I know that the bullet of the SVD sniper rifle I use is a machine gun bullet that is larger than a rifle bullet...... This makes the SVD much more recoil than both the 56 and a half and 56 strokes. As for the spread area during the burst...... SVDs are simply designed to be single-shot!

"The disadvantages of small-caliber bullets...... Scar said, "It is because of the warhead and strong penetrating power, it is easy to penetrate the target's body...... This will be less lethal! But the Yankees found a solution...... Once the bullet hits the front end of the target warhead, it will be blocked, and the steel core will impact forward under inertia to break the lead sleeve to form a development bullet in the target's body, and at the same time, because the bullet is deformed and loses stability, it will continue to roll in the human body...... So the target is inflicted as much damage as possible! I think the Soviets must have learned all this from the Yankees! ”

Only then did I remember when our army was fighting against the American armorers of the Vietnamese army...... It seems that the fighters who were hit by the Vietnamese M16 rifles were really rarely slightly injured.

Later, I learned that although the Soviets learned from the Yankees, they were actually a step further than the Yankees...... THEY LEFT A 5MM LARGE CAVITY AT THE TIP OF THE WARHEAD ARMOR, WHICH MADE IT EASIER TO BE CRUSHED BY THE STEEL CORE AFTER HITTING THE TARGET, AND FORMED A FLOWERING PROJECTILE IN THE TARGET'S BODY...... Therefore, this kind of bullet is also called a poison bullet or a dummi bullet in disguise.

Listening to Scar's introduction, the soldiers couldn't help but gasp...... No one thought that this small bullet would have so much fame and such great lethality.

"Battalion commander!" Liang Lianbing handed over another scope and said, "This thing can also be equipped with a scope......

"And machine guns!" Little Stone grabbed a light machine gun from a box and shook it at us...... It is thought that it is also a light machine gun of the same caliber as this AK74, and now the individual weapons are equipped with this kind of gun family of unified caliber and even most of the parts are universal, just like our 81 gun family, so this machine gun will naturally not be less.

"What is this?" Shen Guoxin was holding a small iron cylinder-like thing, and his face was confused.

"Grenade launcher!" Scar took it and casually put it under the barrel, saying as he loaded, "Put it here...... Then you can fire a grenade! ”

"it!" Liang Lianbing couldn't help but shout: "Good thing...... It's a shame it doesn't work! ”

"Why can't it be used?" Shen Guoxin couldn't help but ask strangely: "Didn't we pay a large amount?" One handful is enough per person! ”

"You're stupid!" Liang Lianbing's eyes glared: "Didn't you hear the company commander say that the bullet is not universal?" There are only a few boxes of bullets we have handed over...... How many rounds can each person get? No bullets and a fart! ”

"It's a shame indeed!" Scar shook his head as well.

"Save it first!" I said to Zhao Jingping beside me, "Send a few people to take care of it...... Remember to bring it back when you go back to Beijing! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Jingping answered the call and instructed the soldiers to carry the boxes of AK74s to the warehouse.

Here's what I think...... I actually know some about the benefits of this small-caliber assault rifle, and the reason is that our army's firearms are also developing in the direction of small-caliber, such as the Type 95 assault rifle that our army is equipped with in modern times...... IT USES A 5.8MM BULLET.

In fact...... After the United States pioneered the use of the M16 in the Vietnam War, it was not only the Soviet Union that was interested in small-caliber rifles...... China is also interested in developing small-caliber rifles.

If you want to talk about this time...... It should have been in 71, when a 713 conference was held that decided to develop a small-caliber assault rifle and put forward indicators...... However, the result is not ideal, because our country is in the midst of a decade of turmoil, so there is no way to say it until now.

As for now...... The development of small-caliber assault rifles is no longer a problem, and it has even been decided that China will use small-caliber assault rifles in the future, but the problem is that China's current weapons and equipment are too backward...... Rifles from the fifties are still in service, and this has seriously affected the combat effectiveness of our army. At the same time, the development of small-caliber assault rifles took time, plus our army is now at war with Vietnam...... So there is an urgent need for a weapon transition.

This weapon is the 81 gun family that our army was equipped with a few years later......

From this point of view, it is very likely that the military industry of our army is already developing small-caliber rifles, and even has some results...... Then I think it should not be difficult for the military industry to produce AK74 bullets according to the appearance of this batch of bullets.

That is, these guns may really be useful......

Before, I was wondering if the weapons and equipment of our agent company were too backward, but I didn't expect to grab a batch of suitable equipment immediately! (To be continued......)
