Chapter 238： Six. Eight-mm bullet (2/2)

”The performance of the two guns is similar.” Cyric said: ”It seems that it is indeed a difficult problem to choose.”

The stability of this gun is almost the same. What is needed most now is the selection, two calibers, what is the most suitable choice?

”Well, not bad.” Hitler also picked up the gun, following Cyric's way, pulling the trigger.

Hitler is now in his prime of life. He has been on the battlefield during World War I, and now he is very interested in testing the gun himself.

”Choosing the caliber of 7.92 mm can be consistent with the caliber of our current models. In this way, our original production line does not need to be adjusted. For example, the original barrels can be used.” Hu Ge continued to explain.

This is good, and the simplest, the barrels of the Mauser 98K rifles in stock now can be cut into two sections to become the barrels of two existing submachine guns. It is so convenient!

In this era, the calibers of rifles are diverse, and each country has its own standards. It will be considered unified in later generations. The main force of the entire West is 5.56 mm, and the entire Soviet camp is 7.62 and 5.54 mm. The world.

”However, if you use 6.8 mm bullets, the amount of metal used will be reduced.” Hu Ge said.

Both have similar lethality. However, the caliber of the 6.8mm bullet is reduced, and the quality of the bullet is less than that of the 7.92mm bullet. Although a bullet is not much different, it is not right, the demand for this bullet The amount is astronomical, so the total amount is quite impressive!

”Cyric, what do you think?” Hitler asked Cyric. This thing cannot be wrong, after all, this will be the main submachine gun of the German army in the future!

”The Führer~~ I think that the 6.8mm bullet is suitable for our empire’s army.” Cyric said: ”The reduction in the mass of the warhead means that we will be less dependent on resources, and the individual soldier The number of bullets carried will also increase.”

The empire lacks resources. From this point of view, the 6.8mm bullet has a huge advantage, not to mention that the mass of the bullet is reduced, and the individual soldier can carry more bullets!

This is of course one reason, and for another reason, Cyric has a mirror in his heart. In the future generations, this is the most highly rated ammunition!

Although NATO uniformly used 5.56 mm bullets, after years of use, this type of ammunition reflected the problem of insufficient lethality. In 2014, NATO made internal comparisons and finally concluded that 6.8 mm bullets were the most suitable.

Unfortunately, for so many years, NATO has already had a pile of 5.56 mm bullets, and it is impossible to choose a new caliber.

As a traverser, as Cyric, who was a military enthusiast before, now that we have come to this era, if the best assault rifle can't be made out, what are the advantages of the traverser?
