The preliminary test of the HSL was completed, and half of Shepard's hanging heart fell, after all, after passing the test, the military got the report, and they had an allocation, and after getting the allocation, whether the combat vehicle could pass the test in the end, well, it doesn't matter anymore!

As a well-known humble social institution once said, although we face some problems, there are actually no problems, although our project is not going well, our project has a bright future, although we have a sufficient financial budget, we still need more funds, and so on, it is not uncommon for weapons development projects to be said.

Because many projects he will not finally pass, that is, how much national income to pay, how much effort to spend engineers, and then what everyone tosses out, may not be adopted, but even so, everyone still has to do it, the reason, that is naturally not humane, as for what to save money and the like, that does not exist, any project expenditure, will not be developed for the purpose of saving money, unless Party A repeatedly emphasizes, but you only need to save money on the surface to make compromises in some aspects, That way they won't force you to save money.

Especially during the hottest period of the Cold War, the two major powers racked all their brains in order to seize the opportunity, for example, the US Navy once spent a lot of money on stealth warships, and then came up with a test ship called Sea Shadow, on this ship, a large number of advanced technologies and ideas were demonstrated, billions of dollars were spent, and then the test ship was dismantled.

Although some of the technical achievements were applied to the later littoral combat ships, the warships that were built at great expense did not satisfy the navy too much.

Therefore, for Shepard, at this point, he has been invincible, not only does not lose but can even make a small profit, then he only needs to continue to work hard, maybe a small profit can become a big profit!

After participating in the AAI test, Shepard went to Knight Ordnance again, the SR25 rifle developed by Stoner and Knight has been produced, and thanks to the good reputation of the previous Knight Ordnance's sniper rifle, SR25 is even in the testing stage, and has been ordered by the Marine Corps, the latter is very satisfied with the C14 Timberwolves purchased before, but the bolt-action sniper rifle can not meet all the combat needs, therefore, it was originally a civilian rifle that Stoner was preparing to develop, On the contrary, he got the military order first.

For SR25, Shepard knows a lot, in later generations, this thing was even evaluated as Stoner's genuine 16 point successor, as for what 16A2, it was expelled from Stoner, and Stoner himself can see that he likes SR25 very much, and even recently, he has been busy here at Knight Ordnance.

"Do you want to try it?"

"Okay!"

As a person who likes weapons, Shepard still likes to shoot guns, whether it is in his previous life or in this life, the difference is that he can only fight occasionally in his previous life, but he can fight until he vomits in this life, and even he has been fighting until he vomits since he was a child..

However, since the designer invited, he was very honored to be the first to eat crabs.

After the test launch of the new SR25, several people set up a barbecue stand at the shooting range, ready to have a battlefield barbecue to celebrate.

At this time, Radknight's conversation with Shepard about Knight's future development plan for the ordnance.

For now, Knight's ordnance business is booming, the Picatinny rails promoted by the research and development of accessories are gradually becoming the market standard, in addition, civilian hunting rifles are also booming, coupled with orders from the military, it can be said that these alone are enough for Knight ordnance to eat old!

But Rhett himself wants to go further, which coincides with Shepard.

So, along with Shepard, he once again put forward the so-called Personaldefenseeapon concept, that is, pd, the concept of personal self-defense weapons, which is still unpopular at the moment.

"Personal self-defense weapons, that don't sound so reliable?"

"Yes, but it's fun to design weapons with similar concepts!"

In fact, the emergence of the PD concept dates back to World War I, when there were some people on the front line who could not carry rifles or charge because of the nature of their work

Gun arms, such as artillery communicator drivers, etc., when they are forced to get involved in the battle, they will find that the pistol is a little difficult to face the battle, so later there was an artillery Luger such a thing as a long magazine and a long barrel, in addition, during World War II, the United States equipped the second-line personnel with a 1 carbine that uses a point 30 caliber bullet, this weapon has better range accuracy and lethality than a pistol, and at the same time is not as bulky as Garand, and even 1 carbine has been favored by the airborne troops, The 1A1 carbine rifle with a folding butt function was developed.

During the Cold War, in consideration of the Soviet Union's huge airborne forces and the consideration of terrorist attacks, NATO also put forward the concept of PD weapons again, and developed many well-known weapons for this purpose, such as the famous, but sales are actually average FNP90 submachine guns, as well as the less famous P5KPD version, which is improved from the P5K submachine gun, which is very popular with pilots and bodyguard industry.

Shepard, on the other hand, is ready to overtake in a direct corner, and if he wants to copy the famous, good-selling and cool looks, such as the P7.

In fact, Shepard also proposed a special whispering assault rifle like the ASVAL, but this thing was not at all as attractive to Rhett as the unique caliber P7, and the use of 4.6x30mm ammunition meant that if Knight Ordnance was to study this thing, he would have to reopen a bullet production line, which would be the most strenuous thing!

Because the bullet production line may not sound like a high-tech product, but in fact, there are really few countries that can play well, just like the country of hope for mankind in the South Asian subcontinent, just to get the localization of bullets bumps and bumps for decades.

"And why does it have to be 4.6x30mm? Is there any basis or claim for this number?"

"Ugh!"

Shepard opened his mouth, he was trying to make up a reason, HK company used 4.6x30mm because the bullet absorbed the experience of developing similar caliber bullets, but now, the use of 4.73 shellless G11 rifles is far away, Shepard can only answer strongly.

"I use this number because I'm rich!"

「？？？」

Rhett looked confused.

"That's right, I made so much money, isn't it just for spending, just according to this caliber, a whole lot of it, and everyone can make money together, maybe I can't make a profit or loss!"

Shepardeyo said that the more confidence he has, this is the change that wealth brings to him!
