1994 firearms issue

However, with the advancement of the times, the role of the bayonet in actual combat has almost completely disappeared, and the service period of ordinary soldiers has been shortened to two years. Many military skills are not fully trained at all. Bayonet fighting is only used as an optional training in the People's Liberation Army.

The subject exists. And most of the people in the military group became soldiers after 2000. They only have some understanding of bayonet fighting, but they are not proficient in it.

With no choice, everyone had to join forces and piece together and recall the essentials of assassination movements that they still remembered, and replenished and improved the training outline of assassination training subjects. At the same time, they could not help but sigh at each other. If a veteran from the 1960s and 1970s came here,

How awesome should it be...

Assassination can be managed with the traditional training syllabus, but they all have a headache when it comes to shooting training - which weapon should be used as the standard equipment? What weapons should the new recruits be trained to use?

At the beginning, the committee suggested that the military team should make do with the captured matchlocks to practice first. Although the matchlocks are primitive and old, they are also the originators of modern firearms. Since they look similar, they should be used in the same way... The majority of the committee

Most laypeople think so.

But soon, the training personnel of the military team ran back angrily after test-firing and seizing the firearms.

"Who the hell advocates using captured firearms for training? Try it yourself first and then you can speak!"

Wang Haiyang took the lead and ran back with a face full of black ash and gunpowder foam, and with tears streaming down his face, he yelled - the quality of the captured matchlock guns was not good. The seal was not tight, and gas leaked from the back of the barrel after firing. Fortunately for Wang Haiyang, he still

I didn't bring my eyes up to take aim, otherwise I would be blinded by the spray.

After that, Tang Jian, the Northern Wei judge, and others also came back cursing, and they were all disgraced - there was too much smoke when the matchlock was fired, and the gunpowder gas leaked seriously, causing the traditional... front-line aiming method to be completely ineffective. A group of former professional soldiers

I shot nearly a hundred times, but the hit rate was less than 20%.

Under the pressure of the military team, those committee rookies who had advocated carrying forward the frugal spirit of "three years of the new and three years of the old, and three years of mending and repairing" were all forcibly taken to target practice. Professor Li and Hu Wen were forced to go shooting because of their age and gender.

He was spared, but was asked to watch from the sidelines.

At first, everyone was laughing and laughing very happily. Not everyone can play with medieval muskets. But soon the laughter turned into constant coughing - these muskets will emit a lot of smoke every time they are fired. If it is a row of people

They opened fire at the same time, and immediately no one on the opposite side could be seen in that position.

In the choking smoke, everyone completed various test firings. In addition to capturing the Dutch's matchlock guns, they also tried the Ming army's bird blunderbuss. Among them was the Lumi blunderbuss, which was said to be the most advanced in the Ming Dynasty.

. But the result is not as good as a matchlock gun. The single bullet fired cannot even find the approximate impact point. It can only be filled with iron sand and used as a shotgun, and the range is very close.

There is no sighting device on the barrel, and even if there is one, they dare not use it, because the shooters have no idea when the gunpowder gas will be sprayed towards the back... In the end, after only a few test firings, the barrel exploded once. It almost failed.

Ling Ning's hand was crippled.

"Damn, now I finally know what the legendary powerful Shenji Battalion in the Ming Dynasty is. The musketeers of the Ming Dynasty are really unlucky. These things probably cause more damage to themselves than to their enemies.

big……"

After the test firing, Pang Yu rinsed his eyes that were red and swollen from the smoke with water, and commented in a sympathetic tone. Historical records show that a Ming army vehicle and artillery battalion was equipped with as many muskets and artillery as possible.

It makes modern people feel surprised. It feels like it is almost a hot-weapon service. How can it still be unable to defeat the Manchus? Now we know the reason.

"Yes, yes, this kind of musket is really not as good as a bow and arrow. The latter can still ensure the safety of the shooter!"

Ling Ning fully agreed. He had already wrapped several rounds of gauze on his hand, and the damn Ming Army birdgun exploded after just three rounds. It only narrowly missed completing the task that its owner failed to complete - killing a group of people.

Named Shorthair.

Even now, Ling Ning's hand was almost burned into a pig's hooves. He didn't pay much attention to it, but his wife Zhuo Yuan angrily went to the committee and had a big quarrel afterwards, forcing the committee to let him go.

Receive work-related injury leave. In addition, enjoy injury allowances...

After personally trying gunpowder weapons in the seventeenth century, those members of the committee who originally planned to make full use of the captured weapons had to admit that their ideas were not realistic. Professor Li still did not give up and asked his colleagues in the mechanical group: Can they make full use of the captured weapons?

After modifying these weapons, we can use their parts, but we still get a negative answer.

"It's not impossible to insist on transformation, but there is one thing that is very troublesome..."

After Xiao Lang measured the dimensions of several firearms components with a caliper, he reluctantly told everyone:

"These muskets are all hand-made. Although the principle and model are exactly the same, the size of each component is quite different and cannot be used universally at all. If we want to modify them and continue to use them, we must provide each component with a different size."

Each musket is individually manufactured with parts that match its size. If you have the time, it’s better to redo it all. ”

"Can't you use it at all?"

Hu Wen persisted in asking, but saw everyone in the military team, weapons team and mechanical team shaking their heads at the same time:

“Not at all. ”

So in the end, the committee had no choice but to accept the judgment of those experts and declare that the muskets of this era were simply unusable - at least not useful to modern people.

Pang Yu had seen an article somewhere before, saying that in this era there were many one-eyed or blind people among soldiers and pirates. This was largely due to the poor quality of gunpowder guns and the extremely high accident rate when firing.

The major impact of musket tactics is that this era generally does not pay much attention to single-shot aiming, but uses large-scale linear arrays and group firing to ensure the kill rate.

The situation in China is even more serious. The Ming Dynasty attached great importance to musket tactics, but their firearms were never advanced enough to completely suppress cold weapons. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty abandoned muskets in the early stage, but was broken into the country in the later period. Although

I spent a lot of money to buy advanced weapons, but I never learned how to use them correctly.

Until the Opium War, when the Qing army used purchased muskets to fight the enemy, they still did not aim. Even though the quality of the muskets was already very good at that time, the aiming equipment on the guns was relatively mature. And they had never been used by the group.

In volleyball training, it is not surprising that although one has a gun but does not know how to use it, he will suffer repeated defeats.

Therefore, according to the opinion of the military team, newly recruited soldiers must not use this kind of thing for training, as it will make them useless.

As a result, the weapons and equipment of the new army have become a problem again - so far, their firearms are all made of modern materials, and the quantity has long been insufficient. They had to use crossbows to make up for it in previous wars. It is obvious that these weapons alone

It was not enough to build a new army. The committee originally thought that some of the captured equipment could be used, so it agreed to expand the army.

Now this idea has been shattered. We have to keep the original modern firearms for self-defense. It is impossible for the new army to completely use crossbows for combat. They have occupied the county town and built industrial zones for more than half a year, including steel, chemicals, and machinery.

Other departments have been initially established. Under such conditions, whether local materials can be used to make modern, or at least modern, firearms and weapons has been formally raised as an issue.

A few days later, everyone gathered together again to formally discuss the issue of homemade firearms.

In terms of weapons technology, these modern people from the 21st century have an absolutely overwhelming advantage over anyone in this era. There is no doubt about this. But when all members of the Management Committee, plus processing industry, chemistry, machinery, and military groups

When the members sat together and actually discussed which firearm should be developed as the standard equipment of the new army, everyone still felt at a loss.

It's not because there are no targets to choose from, it's because there are too many gun types to choose from and there are too many knowledgeable people.

Wang Ruobin, Xu Hui, Feng Yufei... Needless to say, these people are engaged in weapons systems. Even Xiao Lang, who is engaged in mechanics, can tell some knowledge about the principles and structures of modern firearms. But this also directly leads to the inconsistency of their internal opinions.

What kind of lever type bolt action, revolver loading or gas loading... various terms kept popping up, and the conference room quickly became a pot of noise, which made Pang Yu and other laymen dizzy.

Cautiously, Pang Yu raised a hand:

"Ahem, I'm an outsider, but I'd like to ask, why don't we directly imitate those two Type 56 guns? It should be easy to imitate them if there are ready-made prototype guns, right?"

The group of people who were still arguing just now shook their heads in unison this time:

"It can't be imitated, the metal materials and processing techniques are not up to par. "

Master Huang Jiancheng, who is in charge of the steel plant, is kinder and added two sentences:

"The main reason is that there are still difficulties in the production of gun barrel steel and spring steel. At present, with our steel level, we can produce high-quality wrought iron pipes to replace steel gun barrels, but the spring material is not easy to solve. Using the crucible method can
