Chapter 42: Assault Rifles

Now, of course, the money has to be handed over.

The leaders of the headquarters are very satisfied with Duan Yunpeng, you must know that this time it is tens of thousands of oceans, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.

At the headquarters, Duan Yunpeng and the leaders expressed the idea of developing a new type of rifle, which is mainly equipped for special combat teams, and of course can also be used by other troops.

This kind of rifle is the later assault rifle, and after the leaders saw Duan Yunpeng's design drawing, they were all moved, such a good assault rifle, they all wanted to have one.

You must know that in this world, there is no mass-produced assault rifle yet, if the Eighth Route Army gets an assault rifle this time, it will be ahead of the Germans, because the first full-scale mass-produced assault rifle in history is the MKB42 assault rifle that appeared on the Soviet-German battlefield in 1942.

But now this history is about to be rewritten, and the leading comrades of the headquarters have asked Duan Yunpeng for instructions on the development and production of 5.8mm assault rifles.

Because the leaders are also excited, this assault rifle is much shorter and more powerful than ordinary rifles, between submachine guns and rifles, but it has the same power as a rifle, much more lethal than a submachine gun, but it has the same automatic firepower as a submachine gun.

And the performance is reliable, good service; Solid and durable, low failure rate; The structure is simple, easy to decompose, and durable.

The caliber of 5.8 mm is a little smaller than the caliber of today's rifles, so that it can carry more bullets, the fire is sustained, the magazine can hold thirty rounds, and most importantly, it can fire a bullet like a rifle, it can also shoot a short burst, a long burst, and it can also shoot continuously, and if it is loaded with a drum, it becomes a light machine gun.

So such a good gun, why didn't the leaders approve it? Of course, it was approved, and Duan Yunpeng was asked to come up with a sample gun.

With the systematic Duan Yunpeng, it is indeed trivial to develop an assault rifle, and now the production process of the arsenal is getting better and better, and the mass production of assault rifles has matured.

Duan Yunpeng was thinking that it would be good if he could produce 100,000 of them a year at that time, so that the Eighth Route Army could be equipped with a large number of this kind of assault rifles.

This time, Duan Yunpeng directly took the design of the later Type 95 rifle, of course, there are some improvements, such as engineering plastics are replaced with wooden ones, after all, where did the engineering plastics come from at this time, but there is still a lot of wood, and the wood is also good-looking, and it feels more tacky.

The arsenal has this basis for making guns, so dozens of prototype guns will be manufactured soon, and now it is necessary to test the sample guns, this is not the time to hurry, I heard that the sample guns came out, and Li Yunlong also ran over.

There are really a lot of items to be tested today, including reliability tests, shooting accuracy, bullet penetration, and so on.

Li Yunlong was a little stunned when he heard Duan Yunpeng say this: "Why do you want to make it so complicated, just use it directly for our special combat team!" ”

Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Regiment commander, this assault rifle is no better than an ordinary rifle, these inspections must be done well, so that when it comes to the battlefield, the soldiers can shed less blood and sacrifice less." ”

Li Yunlong listened and said: "That's it, then you still have to do it, go, I want to see how powerful this gun is!" ”

For assault rifles, reliability is very important, why the later AK47 is so famous, it is because of its extremely high reliability, compared to the US military M61 rifle of the same period, its accuracy may not be as good as that of the opponent, but its reliability is far more than.

On the battlefield, the M61 rifle often jammed due to wind, sand and muddy water, but the AK47 rifle rarely had this situation, and even soaked in muddy pools for several hours before being taken out to fire.

Therefore, the assault rifle developed by Duan Yunpeng this time must also have such high reliability, because it is the second life of the fighters and has a great stake, especially the assault rifles used by the special combat crews, which are even more related to the success or failure of their missions.

Li Yunlong looked at this color assault rifle and was very curious, because these assault rifles are so short, but they are longer than submachine guns.

The first thing to test was reliability, the three assault rifles were directly soaked in muddy water, and it took about half an hour before Duan Yunpeng asked people to pick them up and shoot directly at the target two hundred meters away.

Not to mention, these three assault rifles were all successfully fired, and the shooting accuracy was still very high, one gun fired five shots in a row, and all of them scored more than 40 rings.

Li Yunlong said excitedly: "Xiao Duan, this assault rifle is really good, durable, and accurate, if it is the submachine gun and box gun of our regiment, it will definitely not work." ”

Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Otherwise, how can this be called an assault rifle, the next step is to measure the accuracy, we have to look at the dispersion radius of the bullet, respectively at the three distances of 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters, shoot, and get the result of the dispersion of the bullet." ”

Then the shooting soon began, and Li Yunlong even personally picked up an assault rifle, and under the guidance of Duan Yunpeng, he began to shoot.

Li Yunlong hit the farthest target, 400 meters, and had to shoot 30 bullets.

This is the maximum effective range of the assault rifle, of course, this is not the maximum range, the maximum range is 600 meters, 400 meters is the range that can hit more accurately and maintain greater lethality.

As soon as the magazine of thirty rounds was inserted, Li Yunlong aimed at the target and prepared to shoot.

Duan Yunpeng instructed on the side: "The firing mechanism of this assault rifle has a fast and slow machine, and it has three gears, one is written as zero on the insurance, the second is a single shot, and the third is a continuous shot. The mechanical sighting device adopts a combination mechanism of a hole-type illuminator and a columnar crosshair. The flip-type door is fixed on the door base, and there are three scales of 1, 2 and 4 on the ruler, which indicate the aiming position with a range of l00m, 200m and 400m respectively. So now you're going to use the scale of four. ”

Li Yunlong also learned quickly, and immediately did what Duan Yunpeng said.

As soon as Li Yunlong pulled the bolt, adjusted the fast and slow machine to the burst position, put the butt of the gun against his shoulder, and pulled the trigger, only to see that the assault rifle suddenly exploded, the muzzle kept beating and spraying, and the thirty rounds of ammunition were quickly finished.

Li Yunlong put down the gun and said excitedly: "Cool, such a good rifle, why didn't you make it earlier?" ”

Duan Yunpeng smiled: "Yes, I'll come too!" ”

Saying that, Duan Yunpeng skillfully picked up an assault rifle and shot at the target four hundred meters away.

However, when the first magazine was about to be empty, Duan Yunpeng hooked the trigger with his left index finger and did not relax, grabbed a new magazine with his right hand, quickly pushed off the empty magazine, and replaced the new one, and the bullet did not stop.

This performance shocked the people present, especially Li Yunlong was dumbfounded, this kid can play with guns better than himself.
