"What kind of weapons to choose depends on the environment we are in and the enemies we face. [Read the latest chapter]" Xi Yazhou paused, probably to organize his words, "There are three main opponents for us: with a large number of simple firearms + Cold weapon mixed infantry as the main force of the Han armed forces, represented by the Ming Dynasty army, and also included late Ming Dynasty bandits such as Li Chuang. Their main force basically came from the deserters of the Ming army, and their equipment and tactics were basically the same; The Manchu and Qing armies, with cavalry as the main force and equipped with a small number of firearms; Chinese and foreign pirates who were extremely active along the coast of China, mainly with various firearms.
“Not only are our numbers relatively small, but we are also basically people with no actual combat experience. Our psychological qualities may not be as strong as those of the ancients, so our weapons must adhere to two points:
"With a large enough range, it can fire at the farthest possible range to suppress enemy charges, and can also be used to attack enemy artillery gunners and commanders. The 8-pound and 12-pound field artillery during the Napoleonic Wars had an effective range of only 9oo meters. The level in the 17th century was even lower, estimated to be up to 4oo meters. A rifle should have at least this range.
"Our first two opponents will use cavalry as their assault force in battle, so the weapon must have the ability to project a large amount of ammunition instantly to suppress the impact of the cavalry. It is best to use machine guns, but it seems impossible for the time being. I just heard Introduction, I am afraid that the North American branch will not be able to obtain machine guns or automatic rifles."
"Then why doesn't SKS meet the requirements? I think they all meet the requirements: 4oo meters effective range, 1o magazine, maximum fire rate of 4o per minute. The performance is not outstanding, but fortunately the structure is simple, and everyone has basically touched it."
"I don't like the 7.62*39 M43 bullet," Xi Yazhou laughed. "This rifle bullet uses a corrosive primer, which is very corrosive to the barrel. It needs to be wiped and maintained frequently. Hainan itself is a place Due to the harsh environment, most of the people here have no military experience and do not know much about guns. It is possible that the guns rusted because they did not clean them frequently. They were scrapped not long after."
"How can a loser who doesn't even clean a gun still be a soldier? This reason is too flimsy."
Xi Yazhou ignored the objections: "Corrosive primers are also very corrosive to bullet casings. They have a great impact on bullet reloading."
"This needs to be considered. Reloading bullets is our only way to replenish ammunition in the early days."
"The weapons of the Warsaw Pact system are based on being easy to use and sufficient. In other words, they have the ability to make weapons better, but their first consideration is the cost issue. From this perspective, a weapon that is durable will , but consuming too many resources is inconsistent with their military principles."
"In this time and space, of course it doesn't matter. If the gun breaks down, just replace it with another one. And we have no way to replenish new modern weapons, so the full service life of the weapon must be considered."
"Are you saying that the service life of SKS is too short?"
"Yes, not only SKS, but also weapons such as AK." He stretched his numb legs and feet, "In addition, SKS is a standard semi-automatic rifle. It is a standard semi-automatic." Xi Yazhou emphasized the word , "That is, it cannot become an automatic rifle."
The people at the venue were stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood, and those who originally disapproved of his words also raised their eyebrows.
Yes, there are no automatic weapons in the American civilian gun market, but those civilian AK\AR semi-automatic rifles based on military automatic rifles can actually be converted into fully automatic weapons. Of course, U.S. law strictly prohibits this, and anyone who violates it is a felony. But the FBI can’t control Daming!
AK47, M-16, these familiar words suddenly flew in the conference room, and everyone fantasized about the heroic appearance of wielding an AK or M16.
"Then let's buy civilian AKs in large quantities!" Shi Niaoren also became excited. "A lot of these guns have been on the market since 2004, and there is enough stock. With our mechanical capabilities, it will not be a problem to modify the guns."
"Why AK? I want M16!"
"What do you know? It's called ar15."
"If it is changed, it will become an M16."
"Haha, I'm still saying that: I'm not optimistic about the m43 bullet." Xi Yazhou was very satisfied with the effect of his words. "Similarly, I don't recommend using small-caliber rifles such as the m16. It's not just the issue of stopping effect, but also the The power at the maximum range. In addition, small-caliber rifle bullets also have higher production technology requirements. I recommend using 7.62mm NATO bullets for semi-automatic rifles. Such as civilian versions of rifles such as m-14 and fn-fal. Directly change to automatic rifles There is no need to urgently equip machine guns."
"M-14? I heard that the accuracy is very good, but it is overpowered and heavy."
"Is this gun a bit complicated? It seems that American guns have complex structures and are difficult to maintain."
The gun controversy lasted for half an hour, and Shi Niaoren was bored. Seeing that the argument had no results, he proposed to talk to Xiao Rui directly on the Internet. After all, Xiao Rui knew the gun market in the United States well and had a clear understanding of the civilian gun market. I also see a lot of weird things in guns, unlike in China where you know an AR15 is a civilian version of an M16 semi-automatic if you kill it.
As a result, Xiaorui proposed another gun on the Internet: the saiga-3o8 rifle that no one had heard of. This is a Russian-made civilian semi-automatic rifle using 7.62mmnato ammunition.
AKs that can shoot 5.56 bullets are not uncommon. Even Norinco has exported five-six punches that use 5.56 bullets. But this kind of semi-automatic rifle of AK origin is a weapon that uses the full power of American imperial rifle bullets. This is relatively rare.
Saiga-3o8 is a civilian sports and hunting rifle developed by the Izhevsk factory of the main Kalashnikov firearms manufacturer specifically for international AK rifle enthusiasts. In appearance, it retains almost all the features of the ak rifle, and the internal parts are basically from akm and ak74. The muzzle adopts a muzzle flash suppressor specially designed for svds sniper rifles, and the side rails can be installed with various Soviet-made and Russian-made optical sights. saiga-3o8 has good shooting accuracy: when shooting 1o bullets at a distance of 1oom, the radius of the scatter circle is only 4o~45mm. The reliability of the weapon is also higher than that of ordinary ak. In order to solve the problem of excessive energy of 7.62mm NATO bullets, a special buffer pad is installed on the back of the butt, which is more effective and can be used by ordinary adult men who are shooting long guns for the first time.
"This gun has good performance, sufficient power, and a long effective range. The empty gun weighs 3.6kg and comes standard with 8 magazines. It can also be equipped with 2o magazines and large-capacity drums." Shi Niaoren relayed Xiaorui's proposal. , "The price is not expensive, the unit price is US$5,000. If you buy in large quantities, you can get a discount. Of course, you can also buy the m1a - the civilian version of the M-14, which is much more expensive, with the market price being more than US$1,000."
"So Xiaorui suggested that we choose saiga-3o8?"
"He didn't say that." What kind of person is Shi Niaoren? He has long been a career elite who can't hold back his hands. This kind of weapon selection is a matter of national importance. Choosing the right weapon is just a rational suggestion. If you choose poorly and get into trouble in the future, the mistake will be yours. Even if the leaders can understand, the masses will not. "I just want to give you a suggestion. The specific decision depends on the executive committee."
This is tantamount to kicking the ball back to the executive committee. Everyone here is talking about it, and they can't make a decision. Compared with the passionate discussions among amateurs, no one in the sports group was interested in this issue except for one Xi Asia. In their opinion, five or six half is enough, why bother to pull out so many inexplicable things.
"Can't bolt-action rifles work?" Mr. Wen recalled that he went to a gun show when he was traveling in the United States. There were so many antique rifles of all kinds, including Mauser, Springfield, Mosin-Nagant... everything. And the price is very cheap. Such a rifle is equipped with a long bayonet, a black high hat, and soldiers in red and yellow woolen uniforms marching slowly in a row, it is spectacular.
However, he knew that it would be impossible to travel across the world to do this, so he would not mention this little hobby.
7.62 NATO bombs vs. 7.62 Warsaw Pact bombs still have no results in this meeting. Finally, six different options were summarized:
Using sks semi-automatic.
Using m1a (m-14 semi-automatic
Using saiga-3o8
There are different opinions on whether to use ak47/74 or m or m16.
Use a high-power long-range rifle and an intermediate-power rifle or small-caliber rifle at the same time.
bolt action rifle
Obviously there are supporters of each approach, and each approach has its pros and cons. Just when the discussion began to develop in an unfriendly direction, Wen Desi promptly turned the topic to personal self-defense weapons.
The personal self-defense plan originally prepared by the sports team for everyone was a dagger, but now with the golden finger of the North American helm, it was inevitable to have a luxury. Pistols are very popular in the American civilian market, and there are many models to choose from. However, in order to simplify the equipment and facilitate repairs and parts interchange, only one type of pistol can be selected.
There is no objection to using 9mm Parabellum ammunition. After all, it is a mainstream pistol ammunition. As for the pistol itself, most people prefer M9-the reason is that it is handsome and well-known. Xiao Ma’s heroic appearance is the most popular among people of this generation. unforgettable. There are also some people who support the m1911, but it is a bit heavier and is not liked by most petty bourgeoisie. As for ppk, s&revolver, and g1ock, there are people who support them.
For reasons of ease of use, portability, and ease of maintenance, the executive committee originally wanted to choose S&'s 9mm revolver. It has all the disadvantages of a revolver: air leakage, short range, less ammunition, and slow loading. . However, from the perspective of the Executive Committee, this thing is only for self-defense within twenty or thirty meters. It does not need to have outstanding performance. The key is simplicity and durability.
The problem is that the sports team obviously doesn't like this kind of weapon. Pla has never had a tradition of using revolvers. Everyone is not confident about this thing. Moreover, the shape of the revolver is obviously not cool enough. The sight of this gun reminds most time-travelers of its lack of firepower. of the Royal Hong Kong Police. The consequence of the final balance is that both m9 and s&'s m337 are included in the purchase list.
