Chapter 84 Alarming the Department [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

Wang Cunxian took the two guns, looked at them, and said with a smile: "This is completely different from the Type 56 submachine gun!"

"It's even marketed as an improved version of the 56!"

"The Type 56 is a well-known and time-tested rifle. If this rifle can be more useful than the Type 56, it would be incredible!"

Secretary Zhou Jian also smiled and said, "I don't think it's likely either."

"However, Jingcheng Industrial College has been quite productive recently."

"Didn't they also make the previous Type 77?"

Wang Cunxian nodded and said, "The Type 77 is really good. It has a small caliber, high shooting accuracy, and high continuous shooting accuracy. Most importantly, it has considerable lethality."

"But, to be honest, we have too many 7.62mm bullets in stock in the past. I think we will have to continue to equip 7.62mm caliber guns for a long time in the future."

"We originally wanted them to make an automatic rifle to replace the Type 63, but unexpectedly, they rushed straight for the Type 56. Haha! How courageous!"

Zhou Jian said: "Leader, they dare to say that the new gun they developed is comparable to the Type 56 submachine gun, which means it should be pretty good, right?"

"Or, let's test it."

Wang Cunxia nodded and said, "Then take it out for a walk!"

So Wang Cunxian came to the shooting range of the gun institute under the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

Director Sun Shiyi heard that Wang Cunxian came here to test the gun.

This gun was jointly developed by Professor Ge Qiangjun and Wang Haoran of Beijing Institute of Technology, and they claim that it is better than the Type 56 submachine gun.

Sun Shitong felt a little bit disapproving.

As the director of the Firearms Institute, Sun Shitong and the core researchers in the institute have often challenged 56 Chong.

They also wanted to make a better gun than the Type 56.

However, after so many years of challenges, we still haven't been able to make a gun that is better than the Type 56 submachine gun!

Sun Shitong accompanied Wang Cunxian to the shooting range.

Sun Shitong said: "Leader, if you want to compare the strength of two guns, the best way is to compare the rapid fire."

"How about we compete to see who can shoot better? You use the Type 56, and I'll use this new gun."

Wang Cunxian nodded and smiled, "Just compete in two rounds!"

"In the first round, I'll use the Type 56 and you'll use the new gun. In the second round, we'll swap."

Sun Shitong nodded: "Sure!"

So, the two began to compete in shooting.

In the first round, Wang Cunxian used 56 to charge.

He fired five bullets in succession at a half-body target 100 meters away, hitting a total of 5 rings.

One of the shots missed the target.

After Wang Cunxian finished shooting, he shook his head and said, "The muzzle jump of the 56 burst gun is quite severe, so it affects the accuracy of shooting."

"Of course, maybe my marksmanship isn't that good!"

Sun Shitong laughed and said, "This is an old problem of the Type 56 submachine gun. In fact, if you can control its temperament well, you can avoid the jumping up to the greatest extent and affect the shooting accuracy."

Wang Cunxian said: "Maybe you are right!"

"Now it is your turn."

Sun Shitong calibrates his gun before shooting.

He found that the gun felt very good.

After calibrating the gun, he began to fire continuously in a standing position, firing five bullets in one burst.

Sun Shitong was naturally quite serious.

Because all soldiers are competitive!
Even when facing the leader, we have to compete with each other.

Sun Shitong first opened the safety and then loaded the bullet into the gun.

He took aim casually, already prepared to adjust the gun in case the muzzle jumped up, and he lightly pulled the trigger.

"Da da da da da-"

The shooting speed is very fast and the muzzle jump is very small.

5 bullets hit the bull's eye accurately!

50 rings!
This was obviously a great victory over Wang Cunxian!

"what?!"

Wang Cunxian stood aside and observed carefully. He saw that the new gun in Sun Shitong's hand was very stable when shooting, and the muzzle jumped slightly.

So, Wang Cunxian was very surprised.

The people around were actually quite surprised.

Because the performance of this new gun really exceeded everyone's expectations!

Wang Cunxian said: "Shitong, I think this new gun is indeed quite interesting!"

Sun Shitong nodded and said, "The recoil of this gun has been significantly reduced, and the muzzle jump is also very small. The shooting stability and accuracy have been greatly improved."

"Not bad, not bad! Now I believe what Ge Qiangjun said a little bit."

Sun Shitong felt a little uncomfortable at the moment.

Because he is the director of the gun department!

That’s good, as the important firearms research and development results have been taken over by our sister units.

This is not a good thing.

Wang Cunxian said: "Then let's exchange them. Let me also feel this gun!"

Wang Cunxian took the new gun in his hand.

He felt it first and said, "The weight of this gun has been significantly reduced!"

"Its design is also very ergonomic! It's a great gun!"

In the second round of competition, Wang Cunxian shot first.

He took aim calmly, pulled the trigger, and five bullets fired quickly.

All hits!

Moreover, he scored a good score of 48 rings!
Wang Cunxian squinted at his results, turned off the safety of his gun, smiled and shook his head, saying: "This is really a big surprise!"

"This gun is more stable than the Type 56, and its shooting accuracy is also higher."

Sun Shitong said: "This gun does have many advantages, but it is probably not that easy for it to replace the Type 56 submachine gun."

"The 56 Chong is excellent in all aspects."

Wang Cunxian waved his hand and said, "Let's compare them from all angles to see how good the new gun is!"

"Since Ge Qiangjun and Wang Haoran dare to say that it is better than the 56-stroke, I believe they should have tested it thoroughly."

Next, Wang Cunxian personally participated and conducted a comprehensive test of the new gun.

After the test, Wang Cunxian looked at the performance of the two guns and felt a little uneasy.

"Oh my god! It's really an all-round winner! It can actually fire farther than the Type 56, has greater lethality, and has even better accuracy and stability."

"It's a complete victory over 56 Charge, there's nothing wrong with that!"

Sun Shitong said: "Another point is that the cost of this gun seems to be much lower than that of the Type 56 submachine gun!"

Wang Cunxian scratched his head and said, "Let Ge Qiangjun and his team produce a few more and give them to the front-line troops, and let them evaluate them themselves!"

"If their frontline troops highly approve of it, then I think this modified version of the Type 56 assault rifle should be able to enter the process of replacing the Type 56 assault rifle next!"

"Actually, with this modified Type 56 assault rifle, I think the Type 56 assault rifle and Type 63 automatic rifle can be put aside. From now on, the troops will use the modified Type 56 assault rifle and Type 77 rifle family as their main equipment. Well! We still need to get a semi-automatic rifle. This thing actually has a lot of uses."

Wang Cunxian's feedback soon reached Ge Qiangjun's ears.

At that moment, Ge Qiangjun was very emotional. He felt happy but also a little complicated.

He worked overtime with his students in the laboratory to produce more than 10 improved versions of the 56-stroke rifles and handed them over to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

While Ge Qiangjun was busy, Wang Haoran went to visit Xiao Renming and his wife by himself. He had been in Beijing for so many days, and now he was at Beijing Industrial College, which was not far from Xiao Renming's home. It would be a bit unreasonable not to go and see him.
