1564: C1564 Medium Caliber Machine Guns Were Useless

C1564 Medium Caliber Machine Guns Were Useless

It used to take nearly ten years, but now... This was what Qin Guan proposed. The 6.8mm bullet only took half a day, and the test shot continued. After all kinds of assessments were completed, all the experts were full of praise for this kind of bullet. Compared to the 7.62mm bullet, of course it was lighter. It was easy to carry, but in terms of power, it was much higher than the 5.56 mm bullet.

"Looks like, in this case, we can study this kind of 6. 8 mm gun." The old expert said: "In addition to our most commonly used automatic rifle, we also need to develop a universal machine gun of this caliber, this way, we can unify the caliber of the machine gun in the entire infantry unit. Reducing the ammunition supply burden "

Qin Guan quickly shook his head. "Impossible, that's absolutely impossible. To the infantry class... This small caliber is only suitable for assault rifles. The infantry class uses machine guns. It must be a 7.62 mm common machine gun. "

Qin Guan had just corrected it. A small caliber rifle was a big pit, and the pit had not been completely corrected. It looked like it was going to fall into another big pit.

This big pit was the same popular medium-caliber rifle that was useless.

In this era, the world's army was becoming more and more mechanical and armored. Many western troops had started to equip Infantry Tank, which was also the reason why Chicken Country wanted to use a non-standard rifle.

As for the medium-caliber common machine gun, it was in an awkward situation where it was neither too high nor too low. If it was used as a vehicle's firepower, the range would be close and the caliber would be small. The vehicle's load, 12. A 7mm machine gun is the most suitable. And if it was used by a person, carrying it would be a bit heavy. Furthermore, the infantry has already started using small caliber. The machine guns of the infantry also used small caliber. Wasn't that appropriate?

Just like that, the world's medium-caliber common machine gun became useless, and the small caliber common machine gun became the favorite of the various large countries' army. The medium-caliber common machine gun was in trouble, and it was on the verge of dying.

For example, Y Country was the first country to produce a 5.56 mm small caliber rifle. They also produced the M249 model 5.56 mm small caliber light caliber machine guns as support weapons for the infantry. However, the warheads of the two types of bullets were also different.

And on the battlefield in the future, after testing, it was discovered that it was not suitable. The long-range firepower suppression ability of the small caliber machine gun was insufficient. The short-distance combat penetration ability of the city was also insufficient. Instead, it was this kind of small caliber machine gun.

The medium caliber machine gun was still the most suitable weapon among the medium and distance infantry support weapons. Later on, Y Country quickly adjusted their equipment and started to use the M60 caliber machine gun in large numbers.

What about in the country?

Later on, they created a Type 95 rifle and also a common machine gun that used 5.8 millimeters. It was known as the world's lightest General Machine Gun, and in the state of a light machine gun, its total weight was 7.6 kilograms. In the state of a common machine gun, it was only 11. 8 kg.

As for the effect, just look at the equipment quantity. After serving for more than ten years, the total production was less than twenty thousand. Practicing was the only standard to test the truth. In fact, it gave a slap to the useless medium-caliber machine gun.

Its performance was mediocre, its power was too low, and its position was awkward.

Now, of course, they could not take this old path anymore.

Qin Guan looked at the old expert and said, "What do you mean by a common machine gun?"

A common machine gun, not an automatic rifle!

In terms of its professional definition, it was a single machine gun carrying, air-transportation design, bullet chain ammunition supply, which could be replaced quickly with a gun barrel, and a medium-sized machine gun attached to a two-legged frame that could be installed on a tripod or a vehicle.

This was only the definition. To put it simply, since it was universal, it had to be suitable for most combat environments. For example, if a three-legged frame was equipped with a thick gun barrel, it could be used as a heavy machine gun.

If a tripod was set up, it would not even need a tripod. It could be lifted directly and opened fire, running while fighting. This way, it was most suitable for infantry. This was the universal machine gun.

Could a small caliber machine gun be called a universal machine gun? It could only be a light machine gun.

"If you use a small caliber, that's right, it's light. But, its range and power, can it provide firepower support for infantry? " Qin Guan asked, "Besides, with the same caliber, can the bullets be the same? If the bullets are the same, can it increase the range and make up for the lack of firepower? "

"Besides, in the infantry class, there must be a more powerful weapon. The bulletproof vest we see now is not the final form. A more advanced bulletproof vest can't even penetrate our 6.8mm bullets, or, on the battlefield... The target might be stuffed with two bulletproof plugins."

There really was someone who did this, even though they wanted to increase the weight. But, in terms of saving his life and increasing the weight... Which one was more important? "Two pieces?" The scholar clicked his tongue and said, "That's a good idea. I like it. If that was the case, ordinary 7.62 mm bullets might not even be able to penetrate it. It must be a special type of bullet."

"The infantry unit uses machine guns, so they must have strong firepower. The range is far, enough to suppress the firepower within a thousand meters. " Qin Guan said, "We must use machine guns like the PKM unit in Bear Country. So, ___ said, we need to use machine guns like the PKM class in ___. I suggest we continue to use the 7.62x54 mm machine gun bullets. This way, our infantry unit will be able to fight on the battlefield in the future... Enemies who block two bulletproof plug-ins will have a chance to kill them with one shot. "

Now, it was the best way for Qin Guan to talk about things with the bulletproof plug-ins. After all, everyone could clearly see that this thing was a type of protective gear that could change the situation of the battlefield in the future.

" If we don't have the energy to develop it now, our Type 81 Class will use machine guns. It's a good choice, but we need to modify it. We can't use our 39mm bullets. We need to use 54mm machine guns. " Qin Guan continued.

The 81st spear clan was originally only planning to be a transitional spear clan. In the future, it would definitely be a small-caliber world. But now, Qin Guan corrected it and set it to 6. It was 8 mm, a lot bigger. As for the machine gun, Qin Guan also liked the Type 81 Squad's machine gun. This type of machine gun had fierce firepower. It was very popular in the army.

Needless to say, at least for now, this type of machine gun had been exported to Coconut Jujube Country on a large scale. On the desert battlefield in Coconut Jujube Country, it proved its reliability.

The range of this machine gun was 600 meters, because it used the middle power rifle bullet. If it used full power ammunition, the firepower would be completely satisfied.0

Even if it was replaced by Type 81 Class with machine gun, it was still better than using a small caliber rifle with little value! Looking at the future generations, when Han Navy was dealing with pirates, they took out the Type 81 Class machine gun.

This way, the future weapons would be confirmed. Assault rifle: 6. 8x43 mm, universal machine gun: 7.62x54 mm, heavy machine gun, definitely 12. 7 mm, the future firepower of Han Country's army would be the fiercest among all the countries.
