Chapter 1511: Persuade everyone

The entire conference room is cold. Everyone's eyes are focused on foreign countries. Now, the development of international assault rifles is developing towards smaller calibers. The issue of small calibers of rifles has also been studied in China. Preliminary research shows that 5.8 mm is a good choice.
However, Qin Guan actually said here that the small caliber is not appropriate, even if it is smaller than the current caliber, it must be 6.5 mm or more. This is completely different from everyone's perception.
The choice of this caliber must be cautious, after all, once it is selected, it will affect the next few decades.
"Even in the monkey country war, the power of the M16 rifle is definitely not as powerful as the AK47. The only advantage of the small-caliber rifle is the ammunition carried." Qin Guan said.
Why do we need a small caliber rifle? This is a comprehensive consideration of many factors. Among them, the number of bullets carried by an individual soldier is a very critical data.
During the World War, single soldiers mainly used bolt-action rifles. A soldier can fire twenty rounds of ammunition in a battle. It is not bad that the rest is bayonet or retreat. Therefore, the demand for bullets It's not very big. A single soldier carries fifty or one hundred bullets, which is definitely a lot.
But now? Assault rifle, even if it is a three-point shot, the three bullets are gone. A brief conflict exchanges fire. If you are a novice, you may hold the trigger with your finger and hold the 30 bullets in the entire magazine. , To fight all out.
In this case, the consumption of bullets is greatly increased.
By reducing the caliber of ammunition, it will naturally increase the number of ammunition carried by the infantry, which is of great benefit to improving the continuous combat capability of the infantry.
Moreover, small-caliber ammunition below 6 mm not only greatly reduces the overall weight of guns and ammunition, and reduces the burden on soldiers. At the same time, the recoil is also reduced, which is more conducive to firepower projection. Although the caliber is smaller, it is easier to produce after touching the target. Rolling, lethality is more violent than the previous ammunition.
This is the advantage of the small-caliber rifle, which has been recognized by the whole world, but is President Qin putting forward a new theory here?
"President Qin, please give me a detailed explanation." Director Gao said: "We really don't know what advantages the caliber you are talking about has compared with the current small caliber."
Everyone knows Qin Guan's abilities, so although Qin Guan's idea is strange to everyone, we still have to listen to Qin Guan's explanation carefully.
"In general, ammunition of different calibers means different volumes and charges, which in turn affects the ammunition capacity of the magazine, the amount of soldiers carried, the recoil when shooting, the range of the ammunition, and how much individual soldiers can perform during combat. Combat power and the size of the ammunition caliber can be said to be closely related to the soldier’s performance in wartime.
Qin Guan said:
The current 7.62mm rifle, due to its high power, the muzzle jumps severely, and the recoil is large, and its power is required for our current use. Talk about excess."
Qin Guan said so, and everyone present nodded.
Yes, the current rifles are overpowered, so there is a trend of small caliber.
"However, if it is a small-caliber rifle, it will face another problem, which is the lack of power." Qin Guan said: "I said that the power is insufficient. It is not that the power is insufficient now, but in the future, ten or twenty years, it will Faced with such an embarrassment."
Qin Guan's biggest advantage is his forward-looking. Now, explaining this issue to everyone is a long-term view.
"For example, everyone should know that the protection of individual soldiers is gradually improving. The soft body armor is no longer suitable. There will be hard ceramic bulletproof armor inserted on the front and back of the soldier. Provides extra protection. It is the same material as the composite armor of our tank. In this way, small-caliber rifle bullets can't penetrate at all."
Regarding body armor, many people's impressions are stuck in the past, at most they can only protect against a pistol bullet. If it is a rifle bullet, even if it does not penetrate, it will have a huge impact and smash the internal organs.
In fact, these are all misunderstandings. With the development of technology, this modern armor is already very advanced. A hard bulletproof flap can solve the problem. Small-caliber rifles cannot penetrate at all. They are on the battlefield. There have been many examples. This kind of bulletproof board has saved the lives of many soldiers. They have no internal organ damage or broken ribs. They are just a red mark that disappears after a few days.
Another example is a bank robbery incident in Eagle Country. Two robbers wore heavy body armor and entered the bank. After the robbery, they came out and were surrounded by the police. The weapons in the police hand, the police pistol, were simply It was invalid for body armor, and their 5.56 mm rifle was invalid. In the end, the police had no choice but to requisition the AK47 from a nearby gun shop, which was considered to have penetrated the opponent.
After all, the role of a rifle is to kill the enemy on the opposite side. If the rifle doesn't wear body armor, what use is it? Not only hitting people, but also showing insufficient penetrating power for armored pickups and other commonly used vehicles with extreme armed forces.
Therefore, the small-caliber rifle eventually lost its aura. In later wars, Eagle soldiers preferred the improved new M14 rifle with 7.62mm ammunition. Its long-range precision shooting ability and great power made the soldiers like it very much. , It’s worth even carrying less ammunition.
Speaking of this, Qin Guan also thought of something. Yes, in terms of the army’s personal equipment, he still has a lot of deficiencies. In addition to the problem of this small-caliber rifle, there are also body armor. Although the army can’t afford to change it, Pre-research must be carried out, and it can even be sold abroad to earn foreign exchange.
In later generations, Yingguo people did experiments and found that the bulletproof inserts made in China were the strongest, and even the AK47 could block one or two.
"I suggest that we can pre-study this caliber now. At the Army meeting, I will try to persuade the senior management to adopt these calibers as I said. We only need to pre-research the caliber and compare it. The senior army will definitely agree. Yes," Qin Guan said.
Pre-research, as long as the pre-research is done, you can take the lead! Moreover, Qin Guan said he was going to persuade high-level officials, so he was also serious.
"Mr. Qin, then you say, what size of caliber should we choose? What ammunition should be used?" Director Gao asked, what he already had a foreboding, in the production of the 81 rifle, they would take the lead. In the production of the next generation of rifles, they continue to take the lead, and the 2296 factory will become the largest domestic light weapons manufacturer.
