Chapter 189: Gun God (11)

Zhao Zhongyao read several books on gun development that he brought from the library of Yan Mingcheng's army, and he designed a gun weapon that can deal with the Mauser gun developed by Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun.
Carbine, namely carbine, lance. It is a lighter rifle with a shorter barrel than an ordinary rifle, a slightly lower muzzle velocity, and a slightly shorter range. Carbines are actually classified as rifles. It generally uses the same mechanism as a standard rifle, except that the barrel is shortened. It is a rifle with a shorter barrel and lighter weight. Someone gave it a simple definition-short rifle.
The carbine is actually a modified version of the Mauser. Mauser gun can be said to be the originator of modern rifles. All subsequent rifles are improvements and developments of Mauser guns, even the famous AK-47 is no exception, it is also an improvement and development of Mauser guns.
The Mauser became famous in World War I, while the carbine made its mark in World War II. In particular, the gunners of country M made bold innovations and modifications to the carbine, and produced the M1 carbine, which made country M invincible in World War II.
While understanding this historical knowledge, Zhao Zhongyao developed a gun weapon similar to a carbine by himself.
After half a month of in-depth study, he already had a deep theoretical basis for firearms, so when he designed this carbine, he quickly designed the drawings.
After designing the drawings, he explained the design principles of this firearm with the technicians in the military factory, so that they have a general understanding of this firearm.
A month later, a brand new light weapon was born in the military factory of Jianggong University. This is a rifle with a short barrel and extremely light weight.
Just like the communication radio designed by Zhao Zhongyao before, what he emphasizes is to be portable.
Because soldiers should keep holding the with their hands when shooting rifles. If the gun body is too heavy, it will inevitably cause the soldiers to consume a lot of physical energy when shooting, and it will also cause shooting. Accuracy drops.
The short, compact carbine reduces the physical exertion of the soldiers, so that they can naturally maintain a high-precision shooting standard when firing live ammunition.
In contrast, traditional guns and weapons, due to their heavy weight, have themselves become a drag on the soldiers, so how can it be possible to improve shooting accuracy in a war!
Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun fired new guns similar to Mauser guns, which are relatively heavy and light weapons.
Although the carbine is not as long as the Mauser in the range, it far exceeds the Mauser in accuracy.
In real combat, shooting accuracy is more important than shooting range. No matter how far your guns and weapons can range, if you don’t have accuracy, it’s useless even if you can hit a hundred kilometers, and you have no combat effectiveness.
Zhao Zhongyao's gun design concept is somewhat different from Sun Guowei. Zhao Zhongyao uses shooting accuracy as his standard for designing guns. And Sun Guowei only pursues the power of a gun itself.
In other words, he just wants his gun to hit farther and more powerful. It seems that such guns are good guns.
Whether these two concepts are better or worse is not straightforward.
The reason why the carbine can replace the Mauser is that the design concept is more advanced. The goal of war is to destroy the other's vital forces. It's not that its weapons are more powerful.
No matter how powerful your weapon is, it can't eliminate the other's vitality, and the two are in vain. And your weapons are not powerful, but they work very efficiently and shoot with high precision. In a short period of time, you can wipe out a lot of the opponent's vital forces.
Such weapons are the weapons that are really needed in war. Not to say that as long as you hit far, powerful weapons are good weapons.
It is from this design concept that Zhao Zhongyao designed this short and powerful assault rifle. This gun has a body length of less than one meter and a barrel of only over fifty centimeters. It weighs less than three kilograms.
The rifle designed by Sun Guowei is similar to the Mauser, with a body length of 1.5 meters and a weight close to five kilograms.
One month later, Zhao Zhongyao had produced this carbine.
And Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun were already impatient.
The two heard that Zhao Zhongyao had also designed and produced a new type of light weapon, so they took their own rifles and came to Zhao Zhongyao's office.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao also designed and produced a sample gun, and placed it in his office.
"Little Zhao! How about it, a month! You won't tell us, your AK-47 is still on the drawing!"
As soon as Sun Guowei came to Zhao Zhongyao's office, he began to question Zhao Zhongyao. He thought that Zhao Zhongyao might only develop some non-weapon equipment such as communication radio stations, but might not develop any guns at all. He is a ‘civilian’ military industry expert!
"Yes, my AK-47 is still on the drawing!" Zhao Zhongyao said with a smile when he heard Sun Guowei's question.
"Ah, Xiao Zhao! Are you an expert in military industry! Will you develop guns or weapons? Why, after another month of tossing, why is your AK-47 still lying on the drawing and sleeping! When will you let it come out of the drawing and become a real rifle!"
Yao Hongjun heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, and felt that Zhao Zhongyao still did not produce a rifle! So he laughed at Zhao Zhongyao first.
"Is this! I can't talk about it. I said before. To develop the AK-47, a stamping machine must be developed first. And now I have not designed this stamping machine, so the AK-47 is not yet available. Production!"
"Haha, I know, do you only talk on paper! We still want to compare with you! It seems that we don’t know when it will come! Or, you can just admit that you are inferior to us, just say , You will never develop light weapons."
Sun Guowei has always been arrogant. When he heard Zhao Zhongyao say that his AK-47 was still lying on the drawing, he started to coax in front of Zhao Zhongyao.
"Yeah! Xiao Zhao! You simply admit that you lost, you won't get it. It saves us both of always thinking about trying to compete with you!"
After Yao Hongjun listened to Sun Guowei's words, he also echoed and laughed at Zhao Zhongyao!
"Haha, two commanders, I don't want to give up directly! I don't seem to have such a personality!" Zhao Zhongyao laughed as he looked at Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun.
The laughter of Zhao Zhongyao caused Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun to stop their smiles all at once.
The two looked at Zhao Zhongyao intently, wondering why Zhao Zhongyao couldn't develop any guns and weapons by himself, and why he was not willing to admit defeat in front of them.
"You--what are you laughing at! You can only talk on paper, you still have the face to laugh at us!" Sun Guowei stared at Zhao Zhongyao, and said angrily.
"Yeah! Xiao Zhao! You smile and beg! You don't want to admit defeat, so you can get out with a real rifle. What's the use of not just playing mystery here!"
Yao Hongjun heard Zhao Zhongyao's laughter, and he also felt uncomfortable! I was naturally a little angry in my heart, and what I said would not sound good.
"Two masters! Since you are so aggressive, then I have to show my new weapons!"
After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he took out a short and powerful rifle from a drawer in the office. Put it on the desk in front of him.
When Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun saw, Zhao Zhongyao unexpectedly took out a short and powerful rifle from the drawer on the desk, which surprised them both.
"This---this is the AZ-47 assault rifle you developed."
Sun Guowei stared at the rifle in front of Zhao Zhongyao for a while before blurting out such a sentence.
Yao Hongjun also looked at the rifle in front of Zhao Zhongyao in surprise. I also thought that this gun is the AZ-47 assault rifle developed by Zhao Zhongyao!
"No, this is not an AZ-47 assault rifle. This is an M1 carbine." Zhao Zhongyao casually took the rifle on the table in his hand. Then pointed at Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun with the barrel.
The two immediately became nervous.
"This---this is not AZ-47!" Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun heard Zhao Zhongyao say this, and he didn't feel so nervous.
"Your gun is so short and so powerful! It's not as powerful as the SY-67 assault rifle we developed!" Sun Guowei took a closer look. The gun in Zhao Zhongyao's hand seemed to be ordinary in appearance and stature. Very thin. What kind of power can such a gun have!
"Two masters, don't you feel that my gun is not good? Then, should we go to the shooting range to compete?"
Zhao Zhongyao knows that it's useless to say that he can only use practice to prove whether his guns are very powerful!
"Haha, okay! Are you still shooting!" Sun Guowei became more confident when he heard what Zhao Zhongyao said. Think, Zhao Zhongyao is just a ‘civilian’ military industry expert! You still want to compete with professional soldiers like us, so you can beat us! This is simply impossible.
"Is this! To say that I have not conducted live ammunition before, but the operation of the gun I developed is very simple. It only takes a little learning.
Anyway, I was also interested in guns and weapons before! After this kind of sample gun was produced, I also learned shooting techniques.
It can be said that we have basically mastered the shooting essentials of this type of gun. Although it can't be said to be a sharpshooter! However, there should be no problem with you two. "
When Zhao Zhongyao saw that Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun still did not believe that they could use the guns they developed, he explained to them.
"Haha, well, in that case, let's go to the small shooting range of the military factory!"
In the military factory affiliated with Jianggong University, there is a small shooting range temporarily built. It was used to develop this new type of firearms.
Because any kind of gun weapon, after being developed and produced, you must first go to the shooting range and try it. Because new guns and weapons are also like new vehicle equipment. Only by doing trial training first can I know if there are any problems!
After Zhao Zhongyao's new carbine is developed, he will also have to conduct some live ammunition training!
It could have been possible for professional test shooting personnel to conduct shooting tests. These young people are soldiers who have just transferred from the army. When they were in the army, they were all sharpshooters!
But Zhao Zhongyao is also a young man, and he has some hobbies for light weapons. Since he has such an opportunity, why doesn't he want to try it!
You know, he may not have the chance to become a real soldier in his life. For Zhao Zhongyao to have the opportunity to conduct live ammunition training with some guns, it is to feel the life of a soldier!
Therefore, Zhao Zhongyao quickly learned to use guns, and no one knew better about the guns he developed. Of course, it is more convenient to use.
While talking, Zhao Zhongyao, Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun came to the shooting range together. The three of them did some preparatory work before shooting.
To say, Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun were originally in the same military factory with Zhao Zhongyao. And how could they not know this new carbine recently developed by Zhao Zhongyao!
In fact, it is because some new guns are being produced in the military factory of Jianggong University! In the factory workshop, some guns and weapons are produced every day. Even if there are any new types of guns and weapons, Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun will not pay much attention.
In other words, the two of them can be regarded as engineer-level technicians, mainly for the design and transformation of guns. As for how to produce, it is a matter for the workers and technicians. The two of them rarely go to the production workshop.
So, even if Zhao Zhongyao develops and produces this new carbine, Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun still don't know.
It was not until Zhao Zhongyao took out a sample gun in the office and told them that they knew that Zhao Zhongyao had also developed a new gun!
Now Zhao Zhongyao, Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun came to the small shooting range in the northwest corner of the military factory.
The factory here is close to a small hillside. Some targets in the shooting range were erected at the foot of the hillside.
In this shooting range, there is a small house made of stone, which is an ‘office’ that manages this small shooting range. There are also some bullets in it. It is for people who test guns.
Zhao Zhongyao, Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun came to this office that manages the shooting range together.
The man in charge of the shooting range is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is a gun manufacturing technician in a military factory. It is a demobilized cadre of a unit, who was demobilized from the position of company commander.
His name is Hu Dajun, and he was a sharpshooter when he was a soldier. Later, with his superb shooting skills, he won many places in the army's shooting assessment.
