Chapter 259, The Shooting Range

"Jiang Gong, the new gun has been produced today, and I am going to test it, are you interested in going to the shooting range to take a look?"

"Of course I'm interested, wait for me, let's go."

After saying this, Jiang Yan got up from his desk, quickly packed up the drawings of the Bayi automatic rifle he was developing, Jiang Yan quickly locked these drawings in the safe in Jiang Yan's office, greeted Xu Damao, and the three of them walked towards the shooting range.

As soon as the group reached the vicinity of the shooting range, they heard the sound of gunfire like fried beans coming from the shooting range.

"The Boss has started testing." Xu Damao, who followed Jiang Yan, mentioned.

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Jiang Yan glanced at him, and he was not deaf, could he not hear such an obvious gunshot?

He didn't answer Xu Damao's words, and quickened his pace and walked towards the shooting range.

To be honest, Jiang Yan heard the gunshots coming from the shooting range just now, and his heart was really a little itchy, and he felt his fingers move.

At the entrance of the shooting range, Jiang Yan and they came to the shooting range after checking their documents.

When Jiang Yan entered the shooting range, he found that there were already many people in the shooting range, and several workers were lying there shooting guns.

At this time, Hu Dahai, who was chatting with other people, turned his head and saw Jiang Yan who had just entered the shooting range, and after seeing Jiang Yan, his eyes lit up first, and then he trotted in front of Jiang Yan.

"Jiang Gong, you're here."

"Come, I heard that the new gun is being tested here today, so I'll come over to take a look, and now the new gun has started to be tested?"

Hearing Jiang Yan's question, Hu Dahai shook his head and said, "I haven't started the test yet!" Now we are testing bullets made of copper-clad steel, and there are also bullets made of pure steel and painted. ”

Hearing Hu Dahai's words, Jiang Yan didn't understand a little, so he asked Hu Dahai directly.

"Didn't you tell me it had been tested before? How did I start testing again today. ”

It turned out that more than a month ago, Hu Dahai produced a batch of bullets with different copper-clad steel, and he took this batch of bullets to the shooting range for testing one by one, and found out the bullets that were not much different from those made of pure copper.

It is precisely because of the test that the current 663 factory has begun to produce bullets with copper-clad steel. Now that the test is going to be conducted again, this really makes Jiang Yan a little confused. That's why I asked this question.

"No, let's report on the use of copper-clad steel to make bullets, the superiors attach great importance to this matter, this is not to send a group of professional people to test the performance of the bullets produced by copper-clad steel, if there is no problem with the performance, we are ready to promote it on a large scale in the national arsenal, this personnel is the technicians sent from above."

After Hu Dahai said this, he pointed to a few people who were shooting and said, "These people are all sharpshooters in the army. ”

Hearing that there was a sharpshooter, Jiang Yan couldn't help but look over.

In our country, sniper appeared as a special noun, that was already in the mid-to-late eighties of the last century, and even the first special sniper rifle in our country appeared at that time, and before that, for decades before that, our army did not have the term "sniper" at all.

The sharpshooters of this period were snipers, and perhaps they were more powerful than those of later generations.

At this time, shortly after the end of the Anti-M Aid C, ZYJ began to gradually withdraw from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea this year, and from February to October 1958, the remaining troops of ZYJ were all withdrawn in three batches. In 1959, the Zhi Division and the Logistics Department were abolished.

In other words, these so-called sharpshooters that appear now are basically shaped by blood and fire, and each of them has great and small feats.

"What kind of gun are they testing now?"

When Hu Dahai heard Jiang Yan's words, he pointed to the first person who was shooting and said, "This first one is using Citigroup's Garand M1 semi-automatic rifle, which is commonly known as the big eight. ”

After Hu Dahai introduced the first shooter, he continued: "He used John Bull's Lee Enfield rifle. ”

After Hu Dahai introduced all the rifles being tested, Jiang Yan was instantly Spartan, and the batch of guns they tested almost included the mainstream rifles of various countries during World War II, and even the 38 big covers of the little devils, there was no problem in testing these guns, the key is that these rifles have different bullets.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan turned his head to look at Hu Dahai.

"If I remember that there is no mistake, this Garand M1 semi-automatic rifle uses 7.62x63mm rifle ammunition! And this Lee Enfield rifle uses 0.303 inch (7.7 mm) of imperial ammunition, good guys, these firearms are basically not universal, and you guys have produced another batch of bullets? ”

Hu Dahai scratched his head when he heard Jiang Yan's words.

"This is not to test the strength of the bullets made from copper-clad steel, we deliberately work overtime to produce the ammunition for these rifles."

"It's really not easy to have yours."

It took a long time for Jiang Yan to hold back such a sentence.

Hearing Jiang Yan's words that seemed to be compliments, Hu Dahai grinned.

"Where are the Type 56 firearms that we produced ourselves?" Jiang Yan asked.

"No, it's in that shed."

Hu Dahai also pointed in the direction to Jiang Yan when he spoke, and Jiang Yan's eyes looked at the shed where the Type 56 firearms were placed.

There were a few guards with guns standing guard in the shed.

"It's inconvenient for me to go in and have a look, to be honest, I'm very curious about our Type 56."

"What's inconvenient about that, Jiang Gong, I'll take you to see it." After Hu Dahai said this, he took Jiang Yan and walked towards the place where the Type 56 firearms were stored.

"This is the rifle we make."

Inside the shed, Jiang Yan looked up and down with a rifle that smelled of gun oil.

Although the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle is an imitation of the SLD's SKS semi-automatic rifle, it has been improved to a certain extent, including the replacement of the original sword-shaped bayonet with a cloud-shaped bayonet (both types of 56 semi-automatic are equipped), the attachment of the receiver cover embedded in the handguard, the replacement of the wooden stock with a fiberglass butt, and the replacement of part of the mold casting with a welding, riveting or precision casting.

After Jiang Yan played with the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, he handed the rifle to Xu Damao, who was drooling next to him, and directly picked up the Type 56 submachine gun next to the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.

Compared with the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, Jiang Yan is more interested in this Type 56 submachine gun, for no reason, because this submachine gun is our imitation AK-47 submachine gun.

During this period of time, Jiang Yan has not studied the drawings of the AK-47 submachine gun, and he is familiar with some of his parts, and now it is not easy to see the Type 56 produced by the AK-47, how can Jiang Yan not take a good look at it, see how much difference there is between this real thing and the drawings, and see what modifications have been made after the introduction of China.

So this gun was repeatedly watched by Jiang Yan when it was in Jiang Yan's hands.
