Shi Niaoren went to the United States the next day. As for what weapons to purchase, he had so many ideas that he couldn't make up his mind at the same time. [No pop-up novel website] People in North America said that they should wait for their news before taking action. Anyway, it is not advisable to store weapons for too long. It is not too late to buy them a few months before release.
For the people on the Executive Committee, the current discussion is not satisfactory to everyone. Many people feel that it is stuck in their throats. As for why, they cannot explain. None of the options seem to suit my needs. If we are discussing military weapons, even though we have never played with them, everyone knows a lot about them, and many people can tell them one thing after another. But the civilian version of weapons is completely at a loss for the majority of urban otakus. There is no theoretical basis for talking about it, and it can even be said to be a smear.
Jiang Ye has been staring at everyone on the executive committee, including Xi Yazhou, every day these days, lobbying everywhere to promote his package of weapons plans: semi-automatic rifles + bolt-action Mosin-Nagant rifles. President Wen was moved by what he said, and for a while he still I went to check the information on Sanba Da Gai - this thing can be used to form a gorgeous spear formation with a bayonet added. However, a group of people in the sports team simply did not want to continue the revolutionary tradition of tightening the ties. His activities among the masses have not received much support - the masses still like weapons that can "strafe", and they don't care whether it is an automatic rifle or a submachine gun, but they are determined not to do it with a bolt-action rifle - this thing makes people unhappy. sense of security.
Unexpectedly, within a few days, I received an overseas call from Dr. Shi, saying that there was another member of the North American team and that he would come back to China immediately to talk to everyone about weapons. Speaking of which, this person is more knowledgeable about the North American civilian weapons market than Xiao Rui. He belongs to the master who has fought cannons on the ground and flown horses (wild horses) in the sky. His experience made everyone awe-inspiring, and they didn’t know who the god was. Most people thought that he must be a muscular, muscular man.
Unexpectedly, when he was taken back to the base, he turned out to be a handsome young man with a slightly oily head and pink face. Everyone was a little disappointed, and more doubtful about whether Doctor Shi was reliable.
The visitor claimed that his surname was Lin and Shenhe, and that he was a firearms enthusiast. Thanks to the decadent and backward American empire, he had not only played with countless famous and unknown firearms in the United States, but also the Norden aircraft gun and the Napoleon 12-pound bronze cannon. He had made it himself (of course he participated in the production). He heard a group of military fans around him drooling. After listening to the executive committee's introduction to guns, he smiled leisurely, leaving everyone confused.
When Xiao Zishan saw his smile, he couldn't help but think of Zhuge Liang's smile played by Tang Guoqiang on TV. Unfortunately, no one nearby said in a joking manner: "Why is the military advisor smiling?"
"Don't you know about the civilian weapons market in North America?" Lin Shenhe spoke in a low voice but spoke very clearly. "Civilian weapons are actually very different from military weapons, and their performance depends on the factory." He After a pause, he continued to explain, "For example, the AR-15. Everyone knows that it is the civilian version of the M-16. We know that it cannot be connected and is a semi-automatic rifle. In fact, the various profiteers in the American market, large and small, produce civilian products very They are cunning and cannot be compared with the ones held by American soldiers. Not to mention the barrels of AR-15s, those competition-type precision barrels are another matter. Even ordinary ones, there are many that are not even chrome plated.
"Another example is the civilian version of the M-14 M1A recommended by Xi Asia. It is produced by the famous Springfield Factory and is liked by many people. In fact, its receiver is precision cast, unlike the M14 that was under military contract back then and was hammer forged. casing. In contrast, the M-14 produced by our northern factory has a hammer-forged casing, but the quality is not very good.
"It turns out that the profiteers of Midi rely on advertising by the US military to make money and produce fake and inferior products to deceive the working people of Midi?"
"It's not a lie. The market for civilian guns in North America is huge, and people from all walks of life and incomes are in demand. This is different from military orders. So there are companies that simplify the process and make low prices, and there are also companies that make high-priced products. Just For example, regarding the civilian version of the M14, the lrbarms one has a forged receiver, which is much more expensive than the one from the Springfield factory. Anyway, anyone with any income can find what they think is the most cost-effective."
After Lin Shenhe's introduction, everyone realized that American civilian guns are so complicated. They all couldn't help but stand in awe.
"What about your opinion on weapon selection?"
"Well, it depends on the executive committee's demand for weapons. Regarding the choice of semi-automatic rifles, I agree with the leader's opinion - the environment we are facing is best to choose semi-automatic. There are 200 semi-automatic rifles It’s enough to handle any complicated situation at the beginning.”
"We don't have any objections. The problem is which semi-automatic to choose."
"If we talk about better value for money, SKS is indeed very good. The retail price is only 400 US dollars, and the North American m43 ammunition is very cheap, suitable for large-scale installation. Moreover, the stock of this gun is very sufficient, and it is easy to get it when buying in large quantities. .”
"Didn't Xiaorui say that Mosin-Nagant only costs 80 dollars a piece? 400 dollars can buy 5 pieces!" The bolt-action rifle party still persisted. "And the bullets are cheaper."
"Which of you has ever used a Mosin-Nagan?" Lin Shenhe had a knowing smile on his face, "Among the bolt-action rifles, the bolt of the Mosin-Nagan is the most difficult to open. It is said to be the most difficult to open. It’s stuck in the foot. And the bolt-action rifle requires a lot of practice to become combat effective.”
"Then you can choose others...such as Lee."
"It's not impossible. But in my opinion, the bolt-action rifle will be a good piece of equipment for the indigenous troops in the future. Those of us who travel through time will be more confident if we have better equipment."
"I am still opposed to the weapons of the Warsaw Pact system." Xi Yazhou continued to insist on his theory, "The life of the entire gun is too poor."
"Oh, that's not necessarily true. Warsaw Pact weapons are indeed very poor. The key depends on where they are made. As far as I know: in the North American civilian gun market, all AK series produced by Russian izmash and other factories are cold hammer forged guns. The barrel and chrome-plated rifling have a service life of more than 8,000. As for the AR series, the barrel is said to be more than 15,000. This is the statement I got from the American arsena1 agent before. "
"Then let's buy a lot of AKs! And we can change them to automatic ones!" The AK party members began to be arrogant.
"I more agree with Xi Yazhou's idea, at least some semi-automatic rifles that use full-power bullets." Lin Shenhe praised again unhurriedly, "Considering the needs of combat, Team Leader Xi's idea is quite Comprehensive. This is not about the range, but that the full-power bullets have a certain penetration into old-style houses and are also very advantageous in dealing with enemies in the bushes. This ability is needed to traverse areas with dense vegetation."
…
After some brainwashing by Lin Shenhe, the deceived executive committee finally chose a hybrid plan:
A small number of Russian-made AK semi-automatic rifles using 7.62mmnato bullets: saiga-3o8 are used as special weapons for military personnel.
The SKS semi-automatic weapon using M43 bullets is used as a weapon to pass through the militia. Although the SKS has slight flaws in performance, the advantage is that the ammunition is very cheap. It is not as expensive as the 7.62mmnato bullet. After all, economy is also a consideration.
The SKS proposed by Lin Shenhe is SKS-D. The advantage of this model is that it can use AK magazines, which means it is no longer limited to its own 1o magazine limit. Firepower persistence has been greatly improved.
"As for the pistol, the M9 is purely a look-alike product. It is better to choose the G1ock. It is cheap and plentiful. American police officers love it. The price is less than 50 US dollars."
Lin Shenhe took advantage of the victory and changed the pistol originally ordered by the executive committee to G1ock. Although m9 is very handsome, g1ock is equally cool, so there is no objection. However, the purchasing proportion dropped from the majority to the minority. Automatic pistols are only equipped to a small number of military professionals, and most people use S& revolvers instead. Revolvers are more suitable for inferior reloading bullets.
Then Lin Shenhe made many suggestions: such as purchasing a large number of Russian-made 4x optical sights - if you want the rifle to be able to exert its long-range shooting function of more than 400 meters, the sights are indispensable. There are also a small number of high-power sniper sights as equipment for snipers.
"Also, we can purchase various light weapons in small quantities and in various varieties, as a blueprint for future reverse imitation, or at least as a reference."
During this discussion, everyone in the sports team except Xi Yazhou remained silent. However, after the meeting, several people proposed to go to the shooting club to shoot a dozen M-14s and experience the role of full-power ammunition.
"Okay, you can arrange this." Wen Desi looked at Xiao Zishan and said, "If there is such a 3o8, arrange for everyone in the sports team to play it and get familiar with the feel."
How to send money to the United States has become another problem. These 200 rifles alone cost 100,000 US dollars. It is obviously not possible to exchange it at the bank. Fortunately, Wen Desi has recently opened many companies to cover the flow of funds. One of them has import and export trade rights and can export electronic products. A few kilograms of gold were used in the container.
"Do you really trust Dr. Shi and Lin Shenhe?" Xiao Zishan asked Wen Desi once while walking on the playground.
"If you don't believe it, what can you do?" President Wen asked him, "Our weapons can only rely on them, there is no other way."
"That's true." Xiao Zishan was silent.
"To be honest, our entire operation is based on mutual trust." Wen Desi took a deep breath, "If you and Wang Gong didn't trust me, how could you go through the wormhole with me? These people If we don’t believe we have a wormhole, why would we come here? Forget about those people who left, if we can’t trust their promise to keep it secret,” his face turned cold, “we should put them...”
Xiao Zishan shuddered: "Be careful what you say!"
"Well," Mr. Wen nodded, "How is Xi Yazhou doing recently? Is he in a mood?"
"No, besides, his claim has not been completely overturned. It seems that he even drank with that Lin Shenhe. Several people went there, and the atmosphere was quite lively. That Lin Shenhe has a lot of practical experience. He is also a talented person. "
"Well, what about the other people in the sports team? What do they think?"
"I think we are making a fuss out of a molehill and it is unnecessary." Xiao Zishan smiled bitterly. There were more and more family members under his command. From the chats of the family members, he could know what many people thought. "In their opinion, it is good to have a gun. Everything else is nonsense. So they don’t have any opinion on what gun to use.”
"That's good, everyone needs to be more emotionally stable. To be honest, everything is fine now, everything is fine, but I'm afraid that after this passes..." Mr. Wen's words are still unfinished.
"With a sharp weapon in mind, a murderous intention arises."
"Not bad, especially since everyone has guns..."
"Do we still have to have a way to manage firearms and ammunition?"
"Yes, there must be. At least in the long run, there must be."
"But this is actually a technical detail. If we look at the big picture, we still need a complete political system. In other words, we must have a political program, guidelines for action, etc." Xiao Zishan said.
"Well, so we should have a complete system,...a constitution?"
