"By the way, this gun doesn't have a name yet, does it?"

Shepard excitedly ran to the target position with the rifle, and was about to try it out when he suddenly remembered an important question. A domineering weapon naturally needs a domineering name.

"No!"

"So what do you call it internally?"

"Some people call it Big Baby, and some call it Big Gun. Personally, it doesn't matter to me. You can call it whatever you want!"

As the boss of an ordnance company, it goes without saying that Knight has a keen eye. He could see what Shepard wanted to do at a glance, and immediately bluntly proposed that it would be better to let Shepard give the name.

"Then I would be disrespectful!"

After Shepard thought for a few seconds, he decisively copied the name of Precision International's AX50 gun. Anyway, the manufacturer hasn't even figured out the predecessor of this thing yet, and is not afraid of being accused of plagiarism. Although these two guns The guns are only 80% similar in appearance, but in reality they are worlds apart.

"Well, ax50 is not bad, but what does the name mean?"

"No, I just thought about it!"

"Well, that's pretty good!"

After thinking for a few seconds, Red Knight chose to praise Shepard against his will. After all, without his wonderful ideas, the company would not have such good development prospects.

Afterwards, Shepard used the bullets prepared by Red to shoot at the 100-meter, 300-meter and 500-meter targets not far away. Although the bullets used were not professional competition-grade sniper bullets made by top craftsmen, Xuepard Padre still hits the bullseye with precision.

"The accuracy at 500 meters is around 0.882a, which is pretty good!"

After shooting the target, Shepard took the relevant test documents, which recorded the shooting results of bullets with different charges at different distances and in different environments. This test is to see how the bullet hits the circle based on the center of the target. The smaller the walk, the more accurate the gun will be.

Of course, this data is not absolute. There are not many things to consider in ordinary shooting, but there are many things to consider in this kind of extreme test data, including wind direction and speed, atmospheric pressure, and the degree of barrel usage. These will affect the accuracy, and in the end The important thing is that the gun in Shepard's hand is just a prototype handmade by engineers and has not yet been officially produced. It is possible that the accuracy will drop by then.

But in any case, Shepard is very satisfied with this gun, not only the accuracy, but also the armor penetration depth. The armor penetration depth of the 12.7 mm hard core bullet fired by this rifle is about 25 mm at 500 meters, which is enough It is enough to cause damage to most of the current light vehicles, especially in Africa. After all, it is too wasteful to use a rocket launcher to hit those home-made armored vehicles modified by Uncle Black!

Moreover, large-caliber bullets can also cause considerable damage to bunkers, especially things like sandbag walls. Small-caliber bullets have limited kinetic energy. After hitting a sandbag filled with sand, the bullet sometimes cannot effectively penetrate, thus killing. For the personnel at the back, anti-material rifles can be used. Large-caliber bullets can effectively destroy things like sandbags. It only takes one shot to destroy those fragile light bunkers. As for the unlucky guy at the back, Shepard tried to shoot them. The dead pig looks very ornamental!

Of course, this gun is not without its shortcomings. Although Rhett considered engineering plastics when designing, he used them incorrectly. Therefore, this thing weighs a full 17 kilograms, and there is not much ergonomic design to improve the shooting feel. Not very good, the trigger resistance is too high, in short, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

For Red Knight, these things are also the things he needs to consider next. No one thinks that a good gun can be made in one go. No matter what the weapon is, it must be improved over and over again, no matter it is a large one. Those war machines are still rifles in the hands of infantrymen. To put it bluntly, even the bayonets in the hands of infantrymen must be carefully designed and polished! .z.br>

Regarding the questions raised by Shepard, Knight recorded them one by one and prepared for subsequent revisions. Shepard also copied them, ah no, put forward more ideas, such as barrel twist and firing pin safety. , two-fire trigger, milled alloy receiver and the like.

Then, Shepard politely asked the other party about the progress of the medium-caliber sniper rifle and the 6-improved version, and then Knight answered Shepard politely.

"We're working on it, we'll start as soon as this thing is fixed!"

"Ah this!"

Shepard remembered the time when he was doing homework when he was in school. He was the same at that time. When his parents asked about his progress, the answer was that he was doing it!

But since Nate has said so, he is not in a hurry. After all, these things have not yet started to work. The food has to be eaten one bite at a time and the things have to be done one by one!

And compared to the new gun, a new gadget just flashed through Shepard's mind. It was something he suddenly remembered when he was shooting at the sandbag wall. In a certain way, the advent of that gadget can be regarded as a milestone in military history. A big milestone!

As for the thing Shepard suddenly remembered, it was the explosion-proof wall used by all countries in later generations. It is a square block that can be used as a bunker when stacked up like building blocks. It is made of polyethylene and has a metal mesh surface. The inner lining is stacked up piece by piece when not in use. After unfolding, it can be turned into a bunker by filling it with sand.

The biggest advantage of this thing is that it saves time and effort. Using sandbags requires soldiers to fill the sandbags with shovels. Some people have done statistics. A soldier can shovel forty bags of sandbags, which is the limit. If you want to build a larger field base, you will need countless sandbags. But the explosion-proof wall is very convenient. After it is opened, an excavator can easily It can be filled up easily, and it saves time and effort to build a defense. It is much higher than a sandbag wall!

This thing actually came out quite early, but it was used in facilities such as dams. It will take more than ten years to apply it to the military. But now, a qualified military contractor naturally does not consider whether to plagiarize or not. The problem is a problem of invention. Shepard plans to complete this thing first, and then use it in Angola. And when the time comes, after seeing the results, he can use it to deceive, ah no, promote it to all *** The team used it!

Even the name of this thing, Shepard has also thought about it. The original blast wall is usually called Esko Blast Wall because that is the name of the manufacturing company, but now, it will be renamed Shadow Blast Wall. !
