Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 268

“The performance of this gun is not good for a special sniper rifle. At least it must be accurately designed within 800 meters, mass production, and equipment are not appropriate.” Xiao Manzhi did not answer the cost, but told everyone. , This gun is not working.

“This is also true. The 56 semi-automatic scope can provide accurate design within 600 meters.” He Chao nodded and said, “At a distance of 600 meters, as long as there is a scope, veterans with better marksmanship can hit the chest target. . Ordinary fighters can control a distance of 200 meters with firepower.”

In the previous training, the troops had a slogan called 200 meters hard work. The soldiers of each unit worked hard and studied hard to reach a distance of 200 meters in front of them and a range of 30 meters to the left and right, which belonged to their fire control range.

The soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army, using 56 and a half, without a scope, can spot and kill live targets of the enemy at a distance of 300 meters.

The 79 sniper appeared because the Vietnamese sniper used a sniper rifle provided by the Soviet Union to shoot cold shots from 600 meters away. Such a distance cannot be suppressed by the 56 semi-automatic without a scope.

Even with the addition of a scope, the 79 sniper rifle is not particularly useful due to accuracy issues. The troop can make the enemy sniper suffer, not by the performance of the gun, but the sharpshooter in each troop!

“So, it’s just for you to try it out and count as R&D expenses.” Xie Kai said.

If you want the troops to pay, you must first show them excellent performance. After all, in the minds of the current military, snipers are indispensable.

The military industry of the Republic was learned from the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union helped build it, but it did not learn all of the Soviet military model, even if the armored clusters were waiting to learn.

During the war between the Soviet Union and Germany, during the preparation process and after the end of a great war, it was the moment when the sharpshooters of both sides performed. Therefore, after the war, the Soviet Union developed the first professional sniper rifle, the Degradnov sniper rifle, which was even equipped to the squad platoon level.

The Soviet war thinking determines the role and mission of the sniper.

For the Soviet army, which advocates offense, they are equipped with snipers at the squad and platoon level, just to provide fire cover, be responsible for clearing the opponent’s machine gunner, or killing valuable targets.

Therefore, the Degradnov sniper rifle is only equipped with a 4x scope, which is responsible for the fire cover within a range of 800 meters or even within 400 meters.

Farther, the Soviets thought it was the range of firepower for heavy weapons.

Modeled on the Soviet model, 79 snipers are also equipped to the platoon level.

The country attaches great importance to snipers, and has to wait until the Gulf War special operations shocked the whole world, and the country began to form a real special force before discovering the true role of snipers.

At that time, the role of the sniper was greatly restricted due to the lack of ammunition and its own defects.

The design of the 88 sniper is successful, but the small-caliber sniper rifle has a bullet that weighs only a few grams. A few hundred meters away, the warhead is blown away by the wind.

Even at a distance of 1000 meters, a 7.62 mm warhead with a penetration power of more than 85 snipers has too much trajectory dispersion to provide precise strikes.

Therefore, the 88 sniper position in the army is embarrassing, and the 85 sniper’s accuracy is not enough…

As a result, even if the accuracy of 88 sniper is much higher than that of 85 sniper, it cannot completely replace 85 sniper. The armed police force that needs precise shooting at close range and will shoot when rescuing hostages, Qing Yishui is equipped with 85 snipers instead of the more precise 88 snipers.

For Xie Kai to change this situation, He Chao must pay attention to the status of snipers at the very beginning of their exploration of special operations mode.

The status of snipers depends not only on their own military literacy, but more importantly, they must have a sniper rifle that can provide accurate shooting and reliable performance from a distance of one kilometer.

In this way, the military cannot be frightened by the high price at the beginning.

“Xia Xie, the price of a gun like ours is not cheap. If it is provided for a long time…” Even Han Weidong frowned to remind Xie Kai.

The use of the garrison regiment can give a part of the funds, and the pressure on their research will be much less.

“It’s okay. The development of any weapon and equipment is not a simple matter. The garrison team provides us with more complete data, which is self-evident to us.” Xie Kai said. “You don’t have to worry about funding, just take out a better sniper rifle.”

“Yes, Lao Han, Xiao Xie is right, you can just take care of the research.” Wang Guilin also said.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Han Weidong is for funding, after all, this is their first official project in so many years.

“For the barrel, I suggest that we have to study it again. Although the internal chromium plating has been processed, it has a significant impact on the ballistics of the bullet. It is best to develop materials that can prevent corrosion without chrome plating, so that the accuracy can be guaranteed. Better… The material for the barrel can be forged before processing to make the internal organization closer…” Xie Kai put forward some of his own suggestions.

For firearms research, materials and production processes also need to be guaranteed.

The sniper rifle developed in this way can reach the top level in accuracy.

As long as it has an impact on the trajectory of the bullet, it must be improved. Eliminating the impact is impossible, but the impact can be reduced to a lower level.

“Why do I have a bad premonition?” On the way out, Yang Bin asked He Chao, “That kid has the same urination as Zheng Yucheng, this gun should not be cheap, it should be provided to us for free…”

“Worry about it? Even if he asks for money, how much can we give? Even if there is any conspiracy, what can we do? We just need to make our special forces more capable.” He Chao said indifferently.

He actually felt incredible for Xie Kai’s generous behavior.

I can’t figure out what his purpose is.

“Purpose? What is the purpose? Let them record various situations during the use of the troops, and provide more data for us to study.” Xie Kai answered Zheng Yucheng’s inquiry.

Zheng Yucheng and others looked at him, “Long-term experiments, they have funds, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat!”

Zheng Yucheng received news from Wang Guilin that Xie Kai would continue to provide guns and ammunition for free use by the garrison for a long period of time, and felt a little dissatisfied.

The production cost of a 79 sniper rifle is only three thousand yuan, but after they are modified, equipped with a specially redesigned sniper scope, the price is more than twenty thousand.

If you continue to improve, the cost will be higher, and God knows what price will be reached in the end.

Originally thought that five million is enough, Zheng Yucheng now finds that five million is really not much, and maybe it will not be able to achieve the kind of result Xie Kai wants after using it up.

According to the requirements put forward by Xie Kai, the barrel material must be made of stronger materials, and forging and other processes must be used to increase the strength of the material. The machining accuracy is high. How much does it cost?

Bullets also require a lot of research work, and this process is a costly process.

A sniper rifle, with such a large investment, and not much profit…

We can’t blame Han Weidong and others.

After asking that Xie Kai made the decision, Zheng Yucheng and others went to the gun workshop to find Xie Kai.

“Let’s take a long-term view?” Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng.

“It’s not a question of long-term vision.” Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai, “If the investment cannot be recovered, we might as well use it elsewhere.”

The base now has a lot of places to spend money. The airport has already started foundation construction, and building resources that are not easily available outside, such as reinforced concrete, are constantly being transported in by the railway from Jiayuguan to the base.

It used to be two times a day opposite each other, but now it has become three times, although it is still at night.

“Who said it could not be recovered? Now that our guns have improved a lot in performance, they are not significantly different from the 79 sniper rifles equipped by the army. The price is several times higher. Will the military chiefs agree to purchase? Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng.

“Because of the high cost, they won’t purchase much even if they see outstanding performance.” Zheng Yucheng said angrily, “You don’t know how poor they are!”

“Sell it to foreigners!” Xie Kai said, “Our main customers are currently all foreign.”

“Who do you want to sell to?” Zheng Yucheng was stunned.

This kid Xie Kai really doesn’t seem to do unprepared work.

“What’s the situation with the Iranians now? I asked you to tell them the news a year ago. It’s almost a month now, right?” Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng.

“Don’t change the subject.” Zheng Yucheng saw Xie Kai start to change the subject, and immediately told him to stop.

Xie Kai called Zheng Yucheng and others outside the workshop.

It is inappropriate to talk about this in the workshop.

“It’s not a diversion. We can’t let the Iranians go. We don’t just want to sell them missiles, but also our self-propelled artillery, tanks, and our current guns. They all need to be provided to them!” Xie Kai is at the Gun Research Institute these days A complete plan has been formed here.

“You just brag here!” Zheng Yucheng was exasperated by Xie Kai. “Anyway, just for that little money, don’t ask me again when that happens.”

“The money earned here, don’t you think about it?” Xie Kai asked.

Zheng Yucheng immediately wanted to nod his head in agreement, but in the end he didn’t say anything.

“Are you really sure?” Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai, guessing the truth of what he said.

“When will the Iranians come? And what’s the situation with our self-propelled artillery? Didn’t the tank-like gun say to start shooting experiments? Where is it?” Xie Kai asked a series of questions. “If something is there, it will be much easier to fool them.”

Without samples, you have to rely on bragging, which is really not easy.

“The Iranians are negotiating some business with other units in the country, and there are still a few days left on our side. The sample of the 125mm tank gun will return to Jiayuguan tomorrow night…”

“Then how much money can they have left in our pocket?” Xie Kai frowned and asked.
