Chapter 164 [M249 and the Desert. Eagle】
m249_saw shift light machine gun, 5.56mm caliber, machine gun, of course, is a fully automatic firing method, and the bullet chain feed is also more common in the machine gun, the m249_saw shift light machine gun can use a cartridge box of 200 rounds, the plastic cartridge box can be hung on the firearm, of course, if you shoot in a fixed position, you can also get rid of the cartridge box, as long as the bullet chain is sufficient, you can ignore the number of bullets, keep firing until the barrel is overheated and must be replaced.
Although m249_saw is the standard equipment of the U.S. military, in fact, the developer and designer of this class light machine gun is the same Belgian FN company as the FNC2000 assault rifle in Li Yutang's hand, and even the bullet is the same, that is, the SS109 bullet (U.S. military number M855 bullet), the m249_saw bullet chain is a bit special, after every four M855 ordinary bullets, there will be an M856 tracer bullet to help the shooter correct the trajectory, in order to improve accuracy.
m249_saw originated from the U.S. military's SAW (squad automatic weapon) program, since the M14 and M16 were successively distributed, the U.S. military has gradually phased out the Browning M1918A2 automatic rifle that was previously used as a squad light machine gun, and after the M16 is fully distributed, due to the M16's strong continuous fire performance, the necessity of light machine guns, especially squad light machine guns, is not very large, and the M60 company general-purpose machine gun that fires 7.62mmNATO bullets is too bulky and inconvenient to assign to the infantry squad.
So the SAW plan was launched, the U.S. military at that time required that the caliber should not be too large, of course the 7.62mm caliber was not good, too bulky and inconvenient to carry, but because the 5.56mm bullet used by the U.S. military at that time was the M193 ordinary bullet, the performance of this bullet at a long distance was not high, so the initial requirement was between these two calibers, and several competitive firearms at that time were all 6mm caliber.
But soon the problem appeared, the 6mm caliber can indeed meet the technical and tactical requirements, the long-range performance is good, and the weight is also passable, but the pressure on logistics is too great, such a caliber, it requires logistics to produce two different infantry bullets, which is too much pressure on the cost of war, so in the end, the requirements of this plan were revised to 5.56mm caliber, so as to use the same caliber bullet as the rifle.
At this time, it stands out that the XM249 light machine gun used by the Belgian FN company for bidding, the SS109 bullet designed by the Belgian FN company, has high performance at long distances and a small dispersion range, in the test, the tracer bullet model of the SS109 bullet, that is, the M856 tracer bullet, can still burn with luminescent agent at a distance of 900 meters, and the SS109 bullet with the XM249 light machine gun, at a distance of 1,100 meters, can still penetrate the standard steel helmet of the US military, It was for these reasons that the XM249 was finally adopted and officially named the m249_saw class light machine gun.
The light machine gun for the m249_saw class can be used by the shooter in his arms like an assault rifle, or it can be used to shoot in a fixed position using a bipod, and if conditions permit, it can even be mounted on the tripod of a heavy machine gun and a general-purpose machine gun, and it can take on the function of a heavy machine gun when it comes, and the one that He Ping handed over to Ouattara is actually an improved light machine gun for the pip_m249 class, in addition to some improvements such as stability and shooting accuracy, the theoretical rate of fire is fixed at 850 rounds per minute.
Light machine guns are not just a person can be used, recoil, not to mention, just more than ten kilograms of weight, so that many people are discouraged, holding in the arms has already exhausted all their strength, on this basis to raise for aiming and shooting, but also to fight recoil, a little less strength of people have no way to play, although Li Yutang has also undergone special training, but his advantage is in the shooting accuracy and concealment, if you use light machine guns, combat effectiveness will only rise instead of falling.
Israel Military Industries Corporation (I.M.I.) Desert Eagle is also He Ping specially selected for Ouattara, this gun is very interesting, because of the cool shape and powerful power, so that this gun is very popular, especially in many movies have appeared, can be said to be the representative of high-power large-caliber pistol, and He Ping also knows that the popularity of the Desert Eagle will not only not decrease, but will continue to soar after a period of time, because in this year, that is, at the end of 2000, it is popular all over the world cs_ v1.0 is coming!
However, popularity is popularity, this gun is of course a very cool artifact in the eyes of people who have never played with guns, but in the eyes of professionals, if you look at it from a rational point of view, it can only be regarded as a mixed reputation, in fact, desert. The Eagle is not military. Pistols, no country's army equips its soldiers or officers with deserts. The Eagle pistol came as a combat weapon, strictly speaking, in the desert. The Eagle is actually a hunting pistol.
Huge power is the biggest advantage, the popularity and praise of this gun, are derived from its powerful power, .357, .44 and .50 three caliber bullets can easily destroy the target, and the range of two hundred meters also makes it difficult for other pistols to reach, however, only seven rounds of magazines, and the power of ordinary people are difficult to control the recoil, more than two kilograms of weight, and the huge sound of gunfire, all make this gun in the eyes of the user is not as easy to use as imagined.
In fact, this is the so-called special person dedicated to the desert. The Eagle itself was designed and developed as a hunting pistol, so naturally it cannot be used to fight human enemies, and you want to use the desert when fighting humans. It's too difficult for the Eagle to shoot bullets into the enemy's body, and the easiest way to do it happens to be the most popular desert in CS. On the other hand, the eagle is the default pistol of the bandit who has been criticized for both its appearance and power - Glock!
Desert. The recoil of the Eagle is very large, so large that the strength is small, or the gun posture is not standard, in the desert. After the eagle fires, it is likely that his wrist will be directly bruised, and he will not even be able to continue to hold the pistol, so that the gun will be out of his hands, which can be fatal at a critical moment, especially the one that He Ping handed over to Wattara, which is still the desert with the largest caliber. The Eagle Markxix.50AE model, that is, Vatara has a lot of strength, otherwise, in this kind of battle, He Ping would not have taken out this pistol.
Looking at the gun in his hand, Ouattara was stunned for a while. The Eagle is not difficult to get, after all, it is just a hunting pistol, which is sold in stores, and in some countries where the firearms trade is legal, you can buy a desert. The Eagle is not a difficult task, the AK47 assault rifle is even simpler, the world no longer knows how many AK47s have fallen outside the army, but whether it is the FNC2000 used by Li Yutang or the Steyr AUG used by He Ping himself, it is not so easy to get his hands on, and now, he even took out the light machine gun of the squad in active duty in the US army!
