Chapter 438: Buttless rifle

Although Zhao Zhongyao asked Chen Dongshan and Zhang Lianying to design the new gun drawings to produce the first experimental gun at the 308 base. But he really didn't have much confidence in the new guns designed by these two men. Because he already knows something about this gun. Even if it hasn't been produced yet. I also know how bad it is.

As a parallel space that has come into this backward military technology from the 21st century, Zhao Zhongyao has a good understanding of the guns and weapons designed by Chen Dongshan and Zhang Lianying.

He had seen this kind of unsupported long barrel rifle before his death. Although it was popular for a while, it was eventually eliminated by the market and did not become the future development direction of light weapons.

Bracketless structure rifle is a major change in the history of rifles. Bracketless structure rifles are not really "bracketless". In fact, "bracketless" rifles have a "receiver" with a more complicated internal structure. In other words, the traditional gun is removed. The support is directly against the shoulder with the receiver. This structure essentially envelops the receiver and the launching mechanism in a huge butt, with the grip in the front, and the magazine and the automatic machine behind, so as to keep the barrel length constant. Under changing circumstances, the length of the full gun is shortened. This is the most significant feature of the non-support structure.

Because the receiver is directly used as the shoulder, it constitutes a "straight butt" with the barrel axis and the main support point in a straight line in the structural layout. The advantage of straight buttstock is that the recoil generated by shooting is transmitted in a straight line, and the moment of jumping or swinging on the barrel is almost zero. In addition, the use of low-extension, high-muzzle-velocity and small-caliber bullets makes shooting accuracy higher than traditional rifles. . But things are divided into two. Due to the height difference between the shoulder point and the eye point of a person's buttstock, in order to meet the user's ergonomic needs for aiming at the gun, straight buttstock rifles including the American M16 rifle , The distance between the aiming baseline and the bore axis has to be relatively increased, which is why the sight of the unsupported rifle is higher than the traditional rifle, and the human head is relatively exposed.

Due to the abandonment of the traditional buttstock, the length of the gun is shortened while the height and width are increased under the dual requirements of structural layout and ergonomics. Since the grip is placed in the middle of the gun, the quality of the front and rear tends to be even. The center of mass of the gun is generally just near the grip, and the feeling of holding the gun in one hand is obviously better. Due to the "no buttstock", when the gun is aimed and fired, the cheek is directly attached to the casing cover of the automatic machine's frequent movement, and a thicker outer sheath has to be added here. At the same time, in order to make the whole gun coordinated as a whole, many parts of the gun, such as the handguard, are also thickened accordingly. This is not undesirable. The outer sheath is thicker, especially the large number of reinforced nylon injection-molded outer sheaths, which greatly improves the drop and bump resistance of the gun itself. At the same time, it is also good for the protection against the high radio frequency caused by the heat, as well as the stability and grip comfort of the gun. The front of the grip of the unsupported gun, the average distance between the trigger and the bottom of the **** is 400mm, which is greater than the distance of a traditional assault rifle, so when the shooter is holding the gun against the shoulder, the distance between the two arms is too large. A short shooter or wearing a coat or body armor is more difficult to use. If you have to fight the enemy, holding a generous handguard in the front hand and a large **** in the back will obviously not be so handy.

Since its inception, the unsupported rifle has been favored by the military of some countries mainly because it has the power of an assault rifle and the length of a submachine gun, which is especially suitable for combat in narrow spaces and complex terrain conditions. However, due to the limitations of its structure and styling layout, in addition to the shortcomings mentioned above, the "five short stature" unsupported rifle still has the following shortcomings in combat use: First, the shooter's eyes are above the shell ejection window, shooting The overflowing gunpowder gas irritates the eyes; second, it is not conducive to making full use of terrain and objects to exert firepower, such as using the corner of the right wall for backhand shooting; third, rear-mounted magazines are often limited by shooting positions, and shooting at elevation or depression angles is inconvenient.

The rifle, as the most common individual weapon in the army, must have the greatest possible tactical utility, battlefield adaptability, and man-machine adaptability. The reason why the two big rifle countries of the United States and Russia did not adopt the "no support structure" rifle may be related to this.

Zhao Zhongyao is also quite familiar with guns of this structure. The shape of the gun on the gun drawings designed by Zhang Lianying and Chen Dongshan is similar to a kind of unsupported assault rifle he had seen during his lifetime.

Since Zhao Zhongyao already knows that this assault rifle has many shortcomings, it will eventually be eliminated by the AK-47. Therefore, he doesn't pay much attention to the new gun design and production task this time.

When he was in the meeting, he said so seriously, it was just to give everyone a high sense of responsibility and discipline in producing weapons.

Because he knows that the gun he wants to produce is the most difficult gun in the world. And to produce this kind of guns, the workers who produce this kind of guns will never be ordinary workers.

However, these workers had not produced rifles with such strict requirements as the AK-47 before. Then how can they have the same high sense of responsibility and self-discipline as the production of AK-47? This requires putting a certain amount of mental pressure on them, and then an experiment with an ordinary gun weapon.

Zhao Zhongyao said that he was very important to the weapons production task this time. In fact, he had planned in his heart long ago to put the drawings designed by these two old guys in the trash can so that everyone can directly produce the AK-47 drawings he designed.

It's just that he can't do that now. The guns of the two old guys have not been designed yet, so how can you say that the design is not very good. Everything, only when this kind of gun is produced and there are many problems, can it show that the guns they designed are not very good.

For Zhao Zhongyao, his first task now is to get his AK-47 design drawings.

Although he had already drawn up the sketch before, he had to make a blueprint, which could be taken to the workshop for production and processing, and that would require further "fine drawing".

Zhao Zhongyao set up a production mission commando team and let Zhao Gang take charge. He had to buy some time for himself. After the new gun was produced, he could also get the AK-47 design drawings. When the time comes, if these two The new gun designed by an old guy is not very good, so his drawings can be used immediately, which does not waste time.

You know, it has been less than a month before going to the M country to participate in the light weapons exhibition, and there is less time left for Zhao Zhongyao and Zhao Gang to produce new weapons.

Of course, this kind of gun drawings designed by Zhao Zhongyao now can be said to be carried out secretly! No one else knows, and he doesn't want others to know for the time being.

After going to work every day, Zhao Zhongyao will also symbolically go around the workshop to see how the new weapons are produced.

At the same time, I will chat with Zhao Gang, asking him to strictly check the quality of each process. The new gun must be produced smoothly.

Zhao Gang nodded and agreed. At the same time, it is guaranteed that three new experimental guns will be produced within a week.

For the first two days, everything went smoothly. It seems that everything is going well, and the new gun will be produced soon.

Zhang Lianying and Chen Dongshan also visit the workshop from time to time. They were also very happy when they saw that the various gun parts they designed had already been produced by the workers.

You must know that the rifle designed by Zhang Lianying was not designed by him. It's just that he "plagiarizes" other people's works.

And Chen Dongshan knows this very well. Therefore, the two of them do not know much about the new gun. I was just curious about what this kind of gun was produced. After all, the two of them had never seen this kind of gun before.

Everything went well the first two days, but at the third hour, something went wrong.

Because the barrel of this gun is very long. The barrel of an ordinary rifle is not so long. Previously, lathes produced short barrels. Now it is a bit difficult to produce long barrels.

The lathe is not suitable, and it needs to be replaced with a larger model lathe.

However, it will take a long time to change to another lathe. It will take at least half a month from applying to the superior to getting the approval and then transporting the large lathe from another base.

But Zhao Zhongyao couldn't wait so long at all. They must produce these three new guns within a week.

No one can solve a problem when it comes to it. As the commando captain, Zhao Gang was also sweating, but he couldn't think of any way.

So he had to go to Director Zhao.

At that time, Zhao Zhongyao continued to draw the drawings of his AK-47 assault rifle in the office! He thought, the workers went to work and no one bothered him. So he was at ease drawing drawings in the office!

At that time, he opened the door of the office. Because of the sultry weather at the time, he seemed to want to rain. Zhao Zhongyao felt a little bored, so he left the door open for air.

But at this moment, Zhao Gang came to the door of his office.

He saw that the door of the office was open and Zhao Zhongyao was sitting at his desk, drawing drawings intently.

So he came directly in front of Zhao Zhongyao.

Because Zhao Zhongyao was very attentive, he didn't notice anyone standing in front of him for a while.

"Director Zhao, what are you up to!" Zhao Gang felt a little strange when he saw Zhao Zhongyao drawing a design drawing that seemed to be a gun.

However, he is no longer interested in these things. He has something to come to Director Zhao, and he wants him to solve it quickly!

"I---I'm learning to design guns and weapons!"

When Zhao Zhongyao saw that it was Zhao Gang, he was a little embarrassed. I wanted to put the drawing up first, but I felt that Zhao Gang had already seen it, and what was the point of doing so, so he casually said a reason.

"Director Zhao, isn't there an expert Zhang in our base! He is a firearms expert who specializes in designing firearms and weapons. Why do you have to learn these things yourself?"

When Zhao Gang heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, he didn't understand. He thought, the base has ready-made firearms experts, and you are still using your leader to learn this technology.

"This---this is just my hobby. What's wrong, don't you think about designing a gun!" Zhao Zhongyao was a little unhappy after hearing Zhao Gang's words. He wondered why this person asked so much. So he asked Zhao Gang back.

"I---I thought about it before, but my level of style is too low. For things like design drawings, I don’t have enough energy!"

Zhao Gang also wants to progress to become a designer! However, due to the limitation of his cultural quality, he has never dared to do this.

"Zhao Gang, what you said is wrong. As long as you like it, as long as you do it, you can become a designer regardless of the cultural quality."

After Zhao Zhongyao heard what Zhao Gang said, he had some different opinions. After all, he himself is such an example.

Originally, he was just a theoretical physicist studying physics. It has nothing to do with the design of military weapons. He has not designed any missile or firearms before.

It's just that his original big dream, in this world, seems not so easy to realize. The reality is that the country's military weapons are very backward. A military industry expert is needed to change all this.

It was precisely when Zhao Zhongyao saw such an opportunity that he changed from a theoretical physicist to an experimental military expert.

Of course, this is also inseparable from his hobby for military weapons during his lifetime. How to say, he was an old military fan during his lifetime. This is the prerequisite for him to become a famous military industry expert in this world. If he has no interest in military weapons at all, how can he design many advanced weapons.

Therefore, hobbies are very important. Only with hobbies can one thing be done well. If there is no hobby, it is impossible to do one thing well anyway.

The great Dr. Einstein did not say a famous saying: "Love is the best teacher". No matter what work you do, you can only do it well if you love it. If there is no interest at all, it is impossible to do it well.

As long as you are interested, you can become a designer even if you are not highly educated. Whether you can become a good designer or not is mainly a matter of personal hobbies, rather than education.

"Really! I have always been interested in designing guns, but no one taught me, so I have no way to start. I don't know how Director Zhao learned these things, who taught you."

Zhao Gang looked at a design drawing of a gun in front of him, on which was painted a very advanced gun. And the painting is very similar. Although the guns on the drawings designed by Zhang Lianying he saw are different in appearance, from the level of the design drawings themselves, they are even better than those drawn by experts Zhang!
