"Boss, it seems that you already have a complete plan for our light weapons factory, I don't know if you can talk about it specifically,

So that we can directly follow your ideas in the future,

Avoid detours. ”

Ludwig Folg is a smart man, since he knows that Fang Lang has great expectations for this small arms work,

Naturally, you have to know what the boss thinks first.

This is like the original army put forward the performance requirements and standards of weapons.

Then, it's up to them to take care of the research and development.

He must know the boss's plan to know how to go in the future.

Hearing his words, Fang Lang was also stunned, it turned out that he really hadn't thought much about this issue.

Just knew that the rifle designed by the other party was an excellent rifle, and this guy was an excellent firearms designer, so he didn't hesitate to take this guy under his command.

But I really haven't seriously thought about what equipment this factory will produce in the future.

Still, as a posterity, he still knows that those weapons truly stand the test of time.

So, while thinking, he said:

"Hmmm! You make me think,

First of all, we definitely took this rifle you designed as the basis for a deep dive.

It has just been said that the bullet should be unified, so the future general-purpose machine gun will definitely be carried out around this bullet.

You have experience in designing the mG42, and I believe that it should not be difficult for you to design a universal machine gun on his basis. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the soldiers who were waiting on the side to prepare for training, and found the Thomson submachine guns used by some people, and his eyes moved slightly:

"In addition to rifles and machine guns, we also need to have submachine guns, and now we use the 11.43mm pistol cartridge of the Thomson submachine gun, which has a large caliber.

I think the Parabellum 9mm pistol cartridge is very good, and I want to develop our own submachine gun and pistol around this 9*19mm pistol cartridge.

The style of the submachine gun can make the current design of this rifle miniaturized, which should not be too difficult.

And the pistol, I want you to refer to the Browning 1911 to design and make a pistol that can be selected as a single shot or a burst.

It shouldn't be too difficult! ”

Ludwig Folger found that Fang Lang seemed to prefer a small caliber, but the other party was the boss, and since the boss had already decided, of course he would not raise any objections.

Moreover, none of these requirements were too difficult for him.

What he didn't know was that these requirements put forward by Fang Lang were the mainstream of the future.

Based on the current rifle, the submachine gun that uses the Parabellum 9mm pistol cartridge is the MP5 submachine gun of the future.

This is the submachine gun of choice for the world's major special forces, needless to say, being able to be favored by the world's major special forces can know how good he is.

And there are countless excellent pistols that use this pistol cartridge, such as the famous Glock 18, hK's p7, Buretta m92F, and so on.

Although Fang Lang only proposed to develop around two types of ammunition, these two types of ammunition have obviously been tested by history.

Back in 1902, the Parabellum 9mm pistol cartridge was used on the Luger pistol.

Now they are mainly researching 7.62*51mm intermediate power bullets, and Fang Lang believes that as long as these weapons are successfully developed according to their own plans.

Then, this small arms company, which is still unknown, will become the world's arms giant in the future.

It's exciting to think that maybe my own company will be able to replace the future hK company.

"Boss, of course no problem.

However, in this case, the weapon will shrink compared to other weapons in terms of power and range! ”

For this, of course, Fang Lang has been prepared for a long time.

After all, this is also the trend of the future, and the power of 7.62mm is not small.

You know, it wasn't until 1970 that 5.56mm officially became the NATO standard caliber.

Some people may ask, why not just go up to the 5.56mm aperture?

This is the mainstream of modern society!

Hello family! The 5.56mm caliber was designed by the United States in 1958, and now 7.62mm is the mainstream.

Of course, you can't do business in one step!

Why do you have to make enough profit on the 7.62mm before you start to join the 5.56mm camp!

And Fang Lang knows that the armor-piercing ability of 5.56mm bullets is insufficient, and 7.62mm weapons still have a long way to go!

"Huh...... Never mind

As long as our assault rifle can be guaranteed, the effective range is about 400 meters.

Beyond this distance, it is not a target for an assault rifle,

After all, beyond four hundred meters, it is not ordinarily difficult to shoot the enemy directly with the naked eye.

Give it to a sniper gun to shoot, or a light machine gun to suppress it. ”

Ludwig Folger knew that Fang Lang already had a complete direction in his mind, so he didn't say much.

Hearing Fang Lang mention the sniper rifle, Ludwig Folger looked at Fang Lang with a smile and said:

"So are we going to design a professional sniper rifle as well?"

Regarding the sniper rifle, Fang Lang was not worried.

Because technically speaking, the design of a sniper rifle is not very difficult, but it is difficult in the processing accuracy.

This machining accuracy not only refers to the machining accuracy of firearms, but more importantly, the machining accuracy of bullets.

Of course, at the same time, you also have to equip him with an equally good sniper scope, otherwise, you will definitely not be able to complete long-range sniping with the naked eye.

Fang Lang believed that Ludwig Folger, the excellent firearms designers of the Mauser Company, would have no problem designing these weapons.

"Hmmm! Once all of the previous guns have been developed, it's not too late for you to start working on a sniper rifle.

My plan for sniper rifles is to use two types of high-precision 7.62*51mm intermediate-power bullets and 12.7*99mm large-caliber bullets.

This is enough to cover the enemy outside of the range of the assault rifle. ”

Ludwig Folg couldn't help but be stunned, he could understand the use of high-precision 7.62*51mm intermediate power bullets.

It is to unify the caliber and reduce logistical pressure.

But the 12.7*99mm large-caliber bullet, as a sniper rifle bullet, greatly surprised him.

This is obviously the caliber of bullets from heavy machine guns!

The range of such a bullet is more than a kilometer, and it seems that the boss wants to make a sniper rifle that can directly snipe enemies from a distance of kilometers.

Such a rifle, whether it is the accuracy of the processing of the firearm or the accuracy of the bullet, must reach a demanding level.

The only way to achieve this level of accuracy is to use a rotary rear pull bolt, abandon the rifle's burst function, and adopt semi-automatic or manual mode.

What is more terrifying than the range of such a sniper rifle is that if the bullet hits a person's body, it is the kind that can shatter half of the body.

It's just scary.

After swallowing his saliva, Ludwig Folger said tentatively:

"Will such a caliber be too big, it can be used as an anti-tank gun."

After thinking about it, he said:

"Do you want to develop a heavy machine gun on the basis of a 12.7x99 mm large-caliber bullet?"

Of course, Fang Lang knew that this kind of sniper rifle had a large caliber, after all, in later generations, this kind of sniper rifle was no longer simply called a sniper rifle, but an anti-equipment sniper rifle.

That is, a rifle that can kill or damage armored or bulletproof targets.

Historically, it was only in the mid-80s that the United States and the Soviet Union began to study sniper rifles of this caliber.

Therefore, there is no need to rush, moreover, if you want to study a sniper rifle, you have to study advanced optical sights.

The research and manufacture of optical instruments is still a blank in Brazil today.

Alas! There is no way, Brazil's basic industry is too backward.

However, in order to make an advanced sniper rifle, it is necessary to introduce optical instrument manufacturing.

Fang Lang couldn't help but rub his head, it seemed that Fang Yuan Group was about to start getting involved in a new industry again, so Fang Lang was also a little worried.

But he knows that the optical instrument industry is actually a very promising industry.

For example, optical instruments are indispensable for the production of telescopes, microscopes, camera lenses, spectacle lenses, mobile phone lenses up to modern times, and even lithography machines used to make microchips.

And Germany happens to have a very good optical instrument factory, that is, the famous Carl Zeiss.

As a result of the war, in 1945 the American army occupied the Carl Zeiss Jena factory, requisitioned patents, documents and special production equipment, and brought specialist mechanics to Heidenheim in the west.

In 1946, the Soviet occupation forces dismantled all the production equipment of the Jena factory and brought scientists, engineers and skilled craftsmen to the Soviet Union.

The company was completely broken up.

However, Fang Lang does not intend to give up, he believes that there must be many professional technicians of Zeiss in Germany who are in hiding.

Otherwise, how could the Carl Zeiss company in the future recover quickly!

For such a company, Fang Lang is ready to adopt the same joint venture method as the automobile industry system, and directly find people from the German Carl Zeiss company to cooperate and set up a branch in Brazil.

You only need to own a certain share, and you need the help of this company for the Brazilian electronics industry.

Thinking of this, Fang Lang silently wrote down the matter.

This time he is no longer prepared to go out himself, and now he has a lot of German collaborators, and he just needs to ask them to help him deliver a message to the people at Carl Zeiss.

You can send a professional negotiation team to Germany yourself.

For Ludwig Folger's words that his caliber was too big, Fang Lang also smiled.

"There is no need to rush this large-caliber sniper rifle now, we can take our time.

I wanted to make such a large-caliber sniper rifle, mainly aimed at lightly armored targets of the enemy.

As for you, you talked about developing a heavy machine gun on the basis of a 12.7x99 mm large-caliber bullet.

That's true, but I'm not going to continue my own development.

The M2 Browning heavy machine gun currently in service in the U.S. Army is a very good heavy machine gun.

So, I'm going to talk directly to the U.S. government about authorizing production. ”

For heavy machine guns, Fang Lang actually has two goals in mind.

First of all, it must be the M2 Browning heavy machine gun just mentioned, which uses 12.7x99 mm large-caliber bullets.

This is a heavy machine gun that has been in service for more than a hundred years and has not been eliminated by the times, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the best.

To this day, this heavy machine gun is still active in the major theaters in which the United States participated.

The longest place you see it is often the roof of a Humvee.

And the other, of course, is the blue-fire Gatling that everyone loves to play, but unfortunately the technology of this era cannot reach the level of using laser superposition technology in later generations to shoot down drones.

If you use a motor, you have to add a battery, which is really inconvenient. And the weight is also too large, suitable only for use as a stationary weapon platform.

Therefore, the M2 Browning heavy machine gun can only be chosen for the time being, and as for the issue of licensing production with the Americans, Fang Lang is not worried.

Because, with the current relationship between Brazil and the United States, it is not difficult to get a mandate.

What's more, the relationship between the Fang family and the Morgan family now, this kind of trivial matter can be easily resolved.

Hearing that Fang Lang was preparing to introduce the M2 Browning heavy machine gun, Ludwig Folger was obviously a little unconvinced.

But throughout World War II, Germany did not develop large-caliber heavy machine guns.

Whenever on the battlefield, the Germans were pinned down by the large-caliber machine guns of the Allies, they would go straight to the guns.

The German infantry division would be armed with 12 20mm Flak30/38 anti-aircraft guns.

This flat-firing anti-aircraft gun was so powerful that it was able to directly destroy the heavy machine gun positions of the Allied forces.

Therefore, Germany did not have large-caliber heavy machine guns.

"Boss, I feel that I have the ability to design a better heavy machine gun than the M2.

If you could give me a chance, I wouldn't let you down. ”

These words made Fang Lang a little speechless for a while, good guy, this technical expert really has his own persistence!

But after thinking about it, he can also understand, after all, he is a bull who can design a machine gun like the mG42, and it is normal to have this kind of heart.

For this kind of genius, Fang Lang certainly can't dampen his enthusiasm.

So, with a smile:

"Ludwig, it's good, I like your self-confidence and I believe in your abilities.

The M2 heavy machine gun is good, but his rate of fire is actually not fast.

And I know that there is a gun-type rate of fire that must be able to surpass him,

I suggest that you can do research on the basis of this gun type. ”

As a firearms designer, as soon as Fang Lang opened his mouth, Ludwig Folger immediately knew what type of gun Fang Lang was talking about.

His mG42 had a fast rate of fire, but if it was changed to a large-caliber heavy machine gun, the problem of heat dissipation would not be solved at all.

After all, now 7.92 mm caliber bullets have to constantly replace the barrel when they are used.

Not to mention the increase to 12.7 mm.

If it could have been modified to 12.7 mm, it would have been changed a long time ago, and there would have been no need to wait until now.

Gatling, on the other hand, is completely different, and Gatling fires bullets through several barrels at the same time.

His heat doesn't concentrate on one of the barrels, plus he dissipates heat as he spins.

So this machine gun is able to achieve a higher rate of fire while maintaining the caliber.

"Boss, you're talking about Gatlin, right?"

Fang Lang nodded with a smile and said:

"That's right, I believe that if the Gatling gun is used to improve it, it will be possible to maintain a high rate of fire while maintaining a large caliber machine gun.

I hope that this machine gun, once it starts firing, will be able to cause a metal storm. ”

In fact, Fang Lang already had a goal in his heart, that is, the GAU-19 Gatling machine gun successfully developed by the US military in 1983.

That is, the kind of six-barreled Gatling that you can often see hanging next to the Black Hawk helicopter in movies.

It also fires 12.7*99mm large-caliber bullets, with a maximum rate of fire of up to 1000-2000 rounds per minute.
