"The first thing I want to say is that the 9mm Pargun does not come without single-base propellant."
"Sandoku's allies, Tuji, also provide armaments to the Axis powers, and the par bombs they produce are single-based."
Zhu Han came up and dropped some shocking news.
Brigadier Chen was fine, but Zhao Sizhe was completely confused.
Isn't the 9mm Parcel the first pistol cartridge in the world to use double-base propellant?
I've never heard of a single-base propellant version of this thing.
But Zhu Han was also helpless. The single-base propellant version of the Par bomb was a product of Santoku's lack of resources when the Axis powers began to decline in 1942.
It uses a relatively special high-sensitivity single-base propellant, and its performance is not much different, which is completely acceptable.
But there was nothing I could say to them, so I could only talk blindly.
“Let’s talk about the second fundamental issue, production materials.”
"The 9mm par bullet also has a steel case model."
"Type 08 SE handkerchief is a model specially produced by Santoku for the navy."
"As you know, seawater is very salty and corrodes metals very seriously."
"In this case, even using brass as a bullet case requires very complex anti-corrosion treatment."
"Instead of doing this, it is better to apply a layer of insulating paint directly on the outside of the cartridge case."
"Since everything is already painted, why use brass? Wouldn't it be better to just use painted steel? So this model appeared."
"So in terms of production materials, it is really not as wasteful as you think."
Well, Zhu Han is still talking nonsense.
Everyone must know the urinary properties of Santoku. (This is not Hans now.)
What they like to do most is to complicate what should be simple problems, and then use their super innovative capabilities and unparalleled industrial power to solve all troubles.
Reflected on the firearms, there are the PPK (007 Royal Pistol) that is comparable to a work of art, the MG42 that subverts the concept of rate of fire, and the Rolls-Royce MP34.
The biggest feature of these weapons is that they have extremely excellent performance but are quite complex to process. As soon as they were released, they were able to stand out among the others in their own field.
For example, the PPK just mentioned, even in the 21st century with a wide variety of pistols, there are still a large number of people who believe that it was produced more than 100 years ago (1903) and is the pinnacle of self-defense pistols.
So for Santoku, what does complicated craftsmanship mean? That is called highlighting the noble ancestry of our Germanic people.
To us, the old Junker nobles of the swastika flag, this is called authentic!
so what?
So the painted steel version of the handkerchief was only put into mass production a few months before Sandoku surrendered in 1944.
Before that, no matter how difficult it was, we had to use specially treated brass to highlight the exquisiteness.
But who cares, for the sake of the development of the Eighth Route Army, Zhu Han doesn't mind enduring his guilt over these small things and continuing to lie to them.
"The 7.62 Tokarev bullet is indeed good. It is accurate, has a long range, and its small caliber makes it easier to load more ammunition, but its biggest problem is that it is too long."
"As a bullet with a large aspect ratio, its high-speed flicking characteristics make its performance very dependent on muzzle velocity."
"In other words, this kind of bullet must rely on a long barrel to fully exert its characteristics."
"But if you use a long barrel, the performance of the 9mm Parcel bullet is also very good. On the contrary, as a pistol bullet, the Tokarev bullet is not qualified."
Just saying this is really difficult for people to have any specific concept. Just give a few examples.
The 9mm Par rounds used in the Sten submachine gun, which is called steel pipe garbage, have a barrel length of 196mm, an effective range of less than 200 meters, and it can still fly.
Bobosha, known as the people's submachine gun, uses 7.62 Tokarev ammunition, with a barrel length of 269mm, an effective range of 250 meters, and its accuracy is more than one level better than the Sten submachine gun.
Seems like a big difference, right?
Do you think the handkerchief is rubbish?
However, the Somi KP31, which beat the Soviet army to tears in the Soviet-Finnish war, also uses 9mm parison bullets. With the same accuracy, the effective range can reach 300 meters.
Why? Because the barrel length of this product is 44 mm longer than Bobosa.
Therefore, for a bullet, talking about range and accuracy without mentioning the firearm design is pure hooliganism.
It can be said that the most obvious advantage of Tokarev bullets compared with Par bombs at close range is that they have stronger penetrating power, and then there is nothing else.
The accuracy advantage at mid-range is hit by various dimensionality reductions of intermediate-power rifle bullets.
If we were talking about the World War II battlefield full of bolt-action rifles, there is no doubt that the bullet support is quite outstanding.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Bobosha even said that it was the best submachine gun during World War II, with production capacity and performance that exceeded human cognition.
But the one who has no choice but to eliminate a piece of equipment is never its nemesis, but the same type of equipment that performs better than it.
Otherwise, why is the 9mm Parcel bullet still the most popular pistol bullet in the 21st century, while the Tokarev bullet has become an outcast of the times?
Don't tell me anything about Western hegemony, the fall of Mao Xiong.
The first one to abandon the supporting ammunition was his biological father, Mao Xiong, and turned to 9mm Makarov ammunition.
Moreover, after World War II, it was the United States that held the power of life and death in the West. If it were really a political choice, it should be all over the streets. 45.
How come the entire U.S. market is dominated by an enemy bullet?
"The barrel of the pistol is very short and cannot fully support the bullet support. The 25 mm long cartridge (cartridge case) does not help the pistol's high ammunition capacity or miniaturization."
"Furthermore, the support projectile often has the problem of over-penetration at close range, and it is very likely to hit one's own people behind during hand-to-hand combat."
"Finally, I concluded by comparing a large amount of data that the 9mm parison bullet is the bullet that achieves the most perfect balance of range, accuracy, penetration, and stopping power."
After Zhu Han finished his explanation, he gave his summary.
"So the Tokarev bullet is a bullet with a very high lower limit but a very low upper limit."
"It has poor versatility and is only suitable for submachine guns, but as a pure submachine gun ammunition, it is better than par ammunition."
"The par bullet is a bullet with a very high upper limit and not a very low lower limit. It is extremely versatile."
"To sum it up, the support of bombs is in the present, and the use of handguns is in the future."
Okay, so Brigadier Chen understands.
But instead it made him confused.
Under normal circumstances, whether the Eighth Route Army or the New Fourth Army, they use whatever guns they have and whatever bullets they can find.
Who are you qualified to care about whether performance is good or not?
As a result, there were only two types of bullets for him to choose from, but he couldn't do it.
To be honest, both bullets appealed to him, and now he just hoped it would be possible to combine the advantages of both.
"Can't we develop a high-speed heavy warhead?"
"That thing is called a rifle bullet!"
The two said in unison, knocking Brigadier Chen back.
As an excellent commander, he now fully understands the differences between the two.
Zhao Sizhe's idea is that a submachine gun should be a rifle that sacrifices part of its range for firepower.
Within the effective range, submachine guns should be able to kill targets as accurately as rifles, and try to kill enemies as quickly as possible to avoid falling into hand-to-hand combat.
But Zhu Han's idea is to separate the functions of rifles and submachine guns to make up for each other's shortcomings.
At mid-range, submachine guns can make up for the inability of machine guns to flexibly move with the team, and cooperate with riflemen to suppress targets.
At close range, submachine guns can make up for the shortcomings of rifles with too strong penetration and too slow rate of fire. They can shoot without scruples, killing enemies at high speeds.
Therefore, it is not so much the difference in their understanding of bullets.
Rather, it is the difference between the two of them in their understanding of the battlefield.
It can be said that Brigadier Chen experienced the troubles of happiness.
At this time, Zhao Sizhe still insisted on his own ideas:
"The distance between 200 meters and 300 meters is the most effective distance for causing damage. Shouldn't we kill the enemy as quickly as possible during this period?"
Zhu Han responded tit for tat:
"No matter how accurate a submachine gun is, it's not as accurate as a rifle, right? At this distance, shouldn't a semi-automatic rifle firing our medium-power bullets be more suitable?"
"No matter how fast a semi-automatic is, it's not as fast as a submachine gun, right?"
"In the future, we can increase the rate of fire of rifles to the level of submachine guns!"
"Hahaha, how is that possible!"
Hearing this, Brigadier Chen laughed loudly:
"You will make fun of me. Then everyone will be carrying a light machine gun in the future? Hahaha...haha...ha...uh..."
Seeing Zhu Han's serious expression, Brigadier Chen smiled more and more weakly.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, when we go to the gun tower, the soldiers will have either automatic rifles or submachine guns."
"Whenever you see an enemy, shoot him first."
"I just want to see if the Japanese can even hurt a hair on our soldiers!"
Seeing Zhu Han becoming more and more fierce, the two people present couldn't help feeling terrified.
It seems that he is still brooding over the fact that six soldiers were seriously injured and killed in the last surprise attack on the gun tower.
Is this the boss's anger?
So scary.
Fortunately, this guy is not an enemy, otherwise the situation of our Eighth Route Army struggle would have become more difficult in several dimensions.
In the end, Brigadier Chen chose Zhu Han's plan in extreme confusion.
While it was a pity that he gave up a more powerful bullet, he also had to appease Zhao Sizhe.
Frequently said: It's not that you're not good enough, it's just that my requirements are a bit high...
