3175: C3175 Another 68 Mm

C3175 Another 68 Mm

For a long time, every country's rifles are a mess. They each chose their own standards until the end of the World War. The 7.62 mm rifle became the mainstream along with the development of assault rifles. However... Due to the large caliber, the recoil and muzzle jumping problem was still not easy to solve.1

Therefore, Y Country first raised the standard of 5.56 mm rifle bullets. This standard quickly became the mainstream western caliber.

Following that, Bear Country also began research and development, choosing 5.45 mm. For a moment, all the rifles in the world began to change to small caliber.

Under the same weight carrying, the small caliber bullets could carry more. Moreover, many of the outbreaks of battles were under 200 meters, so the concept of small caliber was a hot topic.

On the other hand, when a small caliber bullet entered the human body, it could cause more obvious rolling. This way, it could kill the enemy better, creating a power even greater than a large caliber rifle.

Han Country naturally followed this trend of small-caliber bullets. After many years of research, he chose 5.8 millimeters and followed the trend of the world's rifles. They created 95 gun clan members, which was considered to have entered the sequence of small caliber rifles and traceless rifles.

But, what happened afterwards?

After the Equipment Department team, the hands-on rifles still brought a lot of trouble to the army. And the army was the most conservative kind of army. After careful consideration, the 03 gunmen came out again. This kind of assault rifle was once again returned to the structure with a rifle butt. And the 95 rifle was destined to be short-lived.

After that, the people of Y Country discovered that the small caliber rifles were not enough during the war in Mountain Country.

In the war in Mountain Country, the distance of war was very different from the previous experience. As it was a mountainous area and desert, it would often appear in a battle zone of about 500 meters. At this time, their 5.56mm rifles were already powerless.

In fact, the bullets of the rifles could fly very far, 5.56 mm bullets. It would be no problem to fly 500 meters away. But at this time, the speed of the bullets had been reduced to less than 700 meters per second. Even if it hit the target, it would not cause any deformation or fragments. It would not bring any damage.

The Y Country Army team suddenly realized that their machine guns, which were only 7.62 millimeters in size, could still maintain their lethality. However, it was impossible for the entire infantry team to use the same equipment. Although the machine guns had amazing lethality, it also consumed a lot of bullets. An infantry class could only have one machine gunner, otherwise... Their firepower is seriously lacking.

And, what was even worse was, in order to unify the caliber, to make it easier to replenish their supplies, most of the machine guns they used were 5.56 millimeters long. So, where their automatic rifles could not reach, their shifts were also unable to do anything. At that time, the Y Country soldiers were in a state of battle. They did not know what it felt like to hold a torch in their hands, but their opponent... Holding the seemingly outdated AKM that could use 7.62 millimeters of bullets... Without any effort, the bullets rained down.

The people of Y Country finally realized that the 6.8 mm caliber was not bad. This caliber was between a small caliber and a normal caliber. Therefore, it was also called a medium caliber. The weight of the warhead was 7.45 grams. It was almost twice the weight of the 5.56mm M855 warhead. So, it could ensure the lethality of long-range attacks. At the same time, the bullet's shell length was similar to 5.56 mm bullets. A normal M-16 30 magazine could be loaded with 28 6-mm bullets. 8 mm SPC bullets, so the number of bullets carried by infantry would not be greatly reduced. Moreover, even if it was 600 meters, its remaining energy was 40% higher than 5.56 mm bullets.

Therefore, the sound of 6.8 mm rifle bullets was getting louder and louder. However, it was not easy. After all, the 5.56 mm bullet had been manufactured for decades. There was a huge stockpile, although many of the previous 7.62mm bullets had been produced, after all, it could be installed on machine guns, but once the 6.8 mm bullets were fully used, the 5.56 mm bullets would be completely abandoned. This was a huge waste, even if it was the rich and powerful Y Country. They definitely wouldn't dare to do so. After the end of the war in Mountain Country, the topic of changing the topic was no longer as popular as before.

Because of these reasons, Qin Guan had always had some concerns about the caliber of the standard infantry rifles. He did not firmly support 5.8 mm, nor did he object. Instead, he chose to wait.

After all, the Y Country had already started the war in Mountain Country. Soon, there would be the sound of 6.8 millimeter rifles. At that time, Han Country would not have to take the wrong path.

Anyway, the country had used 7.62 millimeters of bullets for a long time. If it was 6.8 millimeters, it would not be a problem. It would not feel heavier than 5.8mm bullets. Everyone was used to the heavy weight of the steel guns in their hands.

Don't underestimate rifles. This kind of equipment's specialty was its large quantity. Therefore, it was a one-shot move that affected the whole body, so they had to be careful.

"What caliber do you plan to choose?" Lamu asked Qin Guan. He really wanted to trick him. Since you don't have a choice, why don't you just use our standard? This way, there would be a greater possibility of an exit.

After thinking for a while, Qin Guan seriously replied, "I think 6.8mm is more suitable."

This was not considered to be leaking information. In fact, there were even more countries in the world that chose 6. If it was an 8 millimeter caliber, it could also push the change of the caliber in Han Country. It would be directly transitioned to 6. An eight-millimeter caliber. Thus, he might as well use this opportunity to trick the other party.

As expected, he heard Qin Guan say 6. 8 mm. Lamu was stunned. "Why is that?"

This caliber was different now, only in the World War. Some countries used this kind of caliber. Of course, they also had this kind of caliber now. It was a specialized shotgun, a special caliber for accurate shooting rifles. It was not common.

"This is a caliber that we are currently researching in our country, and we think that even though small caliber is a trend, but we still prefer powerful ones." Qin Guan said, "Our pursuit of power is endless."

Lamu felt that it was strange. He felt that this caliber was not the same.

"I also suggest that you do some research, even if you produce some test products. This way, there might be a chance to sell them." Qin Guan smiled and said, "This business opportunity, seize it. That is the world of your heart."

"6.8 mm? More powerful?" Lamu carefully savored this sentence. For other manufacturers, it was very difficult to rashly touch a brand new caliber. After all, many manufacturers made firearms, not bullets. They just made guns according to the rules. But to the Steyr Company, these were their strengths. They had the ability.

If there was really a business opportunity, whoever set foot in first would have the advantage. Just like the unmanned rifles, their AUGs were famous because they came in early.
