Chapter 239： Selection and improvement (1/2)
The biggest advantage of small caliber is that it greatly reduces the pressure on logistics! The same resource can provide more bullets, and a single soldier can carry more bullets under the same load!
Therefore, from the very beginning, Germany will complete a small-caliber revolution!
Cyric is quite firm, just use 6.8mm!
”The single-shot bolt-action rifle is about to fall behind this era.” Cyric continued: ”In the future, our elite troops, the basic infantry squad, should be equipped with six to eight such submachine guns. The firepower density will be greatly improved. At the same time, on the basis of this submachine gun, we can also improve the squad machine gun that uses this kind of bullets. In the infantry squad, ammunition can be used to the greatest extent.”
”Think about it, our opponents are still using bolt-action rifles. Our individual soldiers already have this advanced weapon. The combat effectiveness of our infantry squad will be greatly improved.” Cyric continued: ” At the same time, our previous ammunition is not out of date. We are in the platoon, and we need the current 7.92 mm machine gun, and the sniper using the Mauser 98K rifle as a sniper rifle. In company-level units, a larger caliber is required. machine gun.”
This 6.8 mm caliber rifle bullet will become the focus of the future, not only for individual submachine guns, but also for squad machine guns. As many parts as possible are interchangeable. These are all for later generations. Ideas.
Small-caliber weapons are very suitable for assault rifles and class machine guns, and later generations have some tasteless designs, such as the small-caliber 5.8 mm sniper rifle, which is purely for fun.
At the beginning, the small-caliber was used because it did not require that much power, and the sniper rifle needed a lot of power. As for the weight, the sniper rifle didn’t care at all. If the sniper wastes bullets like an assault rifle, it’s simply It is unforgivable.
At present, there are many more 7.92mm bullets stocked in Germany, and these bullets are still very useful.
However, in the future, the weapons of individual soldiers will be mainly such assault rifles.
”Our Waffen-SS hopes that these submachine guns can be replaced in the first batch.” Cyric continued, and while speaking, he picked up the 6.8 mm rifle, broke the gun into various parts, and said to Hu Ge : ”The locking mechanism of this gun can actually be improved.”
If the STG44 or the AK series are more suitable, there is no doubt about it. It must be the AK series. This rifle has spread all over the world. Together with RPG, it has become the favorite of terrorists. This is an example.
Simple and practical, low failure rate, simple processing, and small workshops can produce it.
The biggest difference between these two rifles is the locking mechanism. Now Cyric wants to improve the locking mechanism of this gun, which is similar to the later AK rifles.
Locking means that when the bullet is fired, the chamber is airtight. The front warhead is embedded in the rifling, and the rear end of the gun must be engaged with the end of the barrel. This is the lock.
In order to be able to lock automatically, the end of the barrel of these guns and the head of the bolt are not smooth planes, but with projections or grooves, so that they can bite each other and move the rifle together. In other words, this kind of bite is directly buckled up, and if you want to make a burst, it must be achieved through deflection, swing, and rotation.
In the current rifle, the locking is the offset method. In this way, the entire locking support surface is on the receiver, and the entire receiver is a force-bearing component, and the strength needs to be guaranteed.
