Chapter 1080 Gun Test at the Shooting Range
"Why are you in such a hurry? You have to finish your meal first. Besides, there are two more pistols that you haven't looked at yet. And this machine gun, have you looked at it? Have you understood it carefully? Have you thought about how to equip it, how to train it, and how to use it? I tell you, learn it well. The use of these weapons is a big problem. If you don't understand it, I will punish you!"
Hearing Qu Bing's request to test the gun, Luo Chong immediately scolded him.
Sure enough, Qu Bing immediately became honest after hearing this, and then carefully looked at the machine gun, and Lin Fei next to him also began to introduce it to him.
"The rifle we just looked at is called a semi-automatic rifle, which is a firearm that fires one round at a time. This machine gun should be called fully automatic. As long as you hold the trigger, it will continue to fire ammunition. Of course, there is ammunition.
"In addition, according to the leader, machine guns should be divided into two types: light machine guns and heavy machine guns. Light machine guns are fully automatic continuous-fire firearms that can be used for marching and assaulting, firing while walking. Heavy machine guns are mainly used for fixed-position position warfare. They are bulky, relatively stable, have sufficient ammunition, and have strong sustained firepower.
"But the kind the leader asked us to make is called a universal machine gun, which means it can perfectly undertake two different combat tasks. You can either carry it while shooting or place it on the battlefield to set up a firepower network.
"From a technical perspective, this gun does not carry ammunition or a heavy bracket. The empty gun weighs about 15 pounds and is fed by a belt. When using it, first lift the cover of the receiver from the back, then clip the belt to the corresponding position, then cover the receiver, and then pull the bolt on the right to load the gun, and then you can aim and shoot.
"When using it as a light machine gun, you can choose a light ammunition box with 100 or 150 rounds, and then hang it under the gun body. Hold the handle with your right hand and grab a bipod in front with your left hand, and you can move and shoot.
"If it is used as a heavy machine gun, clip the protrusion of the ammunition box under the gun body to the machine gun seat, and then use a large ammunition box with 200 or 300 rounds, and just place it on the ground next to it. "
Lin Fei explained and demonstrated at the same time. Qubing finally understood at this time that this gun did not have a bullet compartment like a rifle, but needed to be equipped with an ammunition box. However, this was understandable, and this design was indeed convenient for carrying. When marching or fighting, you only need to bring the ammunition box, and there is no need to carry scattered bullets and then load them manually on the ammunition belt.
In addition, listening to Lin Fei's explanation, Qubing also realized a problem. This machine gun is good, but one person can't play it at all!
An empty gun weighs fifteen pounds, which is equivalent to two rifles, plus several ammunition boxes, and a heavy machine gun stand. Not to mention one person, even two people can't carry all these things.
To sum up briefly, this machine gun requires at least a three-person tactical team to operate it together in order to play it well.
"Chief, this machine gun is very heavy, and according to the firing rate mentioned by the chief, this machine gun can't shoot several boxes of bullets in one minute? If we fight a battle, how many bullets should be prepared, and how many people are needed to carry so much ammunition, these are all problems. "Qubing immediately said to Luo Chong.
"Well, it's good that you can think of these. When a machine gun is used, it really needs the cooperation of a tactical team to bring out its power.
"But you forgot one thing just now, that is the barrel. I remember that I asked that each machine gun must have its own original barrel, and three more spare barrels should be prepared. So together, there are four barrels for each machine gun. These barrels also need to be carried by soldiers, so at least three people are needed." Luo Chong reminded them again.
"Ah? There are also barrels? Isn't it said that this is made of a new type of high-hardness heat-resistant steel? Then why do we need to prepare so many barrels? And it shouldn't be easy to replace the barrel on the battlefield. How dangerous is it?!" Qubing asked in some confusion.
"Lin Fei, you come and explain it to him." Luo Chong raised his chin to Qubing and said to Lin Fei.
"Yes." Lin Fei agreed, then turned to Qubing and said to him.
"Thank you, Commander. Although this machine gun uses molybdenum steel to make the barrel, the rate of fire is too fast. If it were to fire one shot at a time like a bolt-action rifle, it would not really need so many barrels. However, machine guns are different because of their fast rate of fire, so the barrel heats up very quickly, but the heat dissipation is not that fast. If the barrel is not replaced halfway, the barrel will quickly become hot and red, and then deform, and finally even cause the barrel to explode, destroying the machine gun.
"So after our experiments and the leader's analysis, it is best to replace the barrel of this machine gun after every 1,000 rounds of ammunition, then let it cool naturally, and then replace it with the next one. If you calculate it this way, if you use an ammunition box with 200 rounds of bullets, that means you only need to replace the barrel once every five boxes of bullets are emptied.
"In addition, the chief designed the barrel connection mechanism of this machine gun very ingeniously. Like me, I hold the barrel and pull the handle forward, then I can pull the barrel out, and then replace it with a new one, insert it into the bayonet, and pull the handle back to lock it. It is actually very simple. After the soldiers are proficient in the operation, it only takes less than five seconds to replace a barrel, which is easier than changing ammunition."
"So that's how it is!" Qubing was amazed. He didn't expect that the barrel on the gun could be replaced at will, and it was so simple to replace. This design is really very ingenious, and every aspect has been thought of.
After looking at the only machine gun, everyone came to the pistols again. The copycat Browning 1911 and the copycat Beretta 92F, both guns are very classic and of moderate size. For the Han tribe, which currently has no pistols, they seem so exquisite, and Qubing's attention was immediately attracted.
Without being taught, he just grasped the pistol grip and then turned it over in his hand. However, after playing with it for a long time, he found the grip, the trigger, and the barrel, but he couldn't find where to load the bullet or eject the shell. Then he shut himself up.
"Chief, how to use this pistol? I know how to hold it and how to aim, but where are the safety, the magazine, and where to eject the shell?" He asked anxiously.
Luo Chong laughed and picked up a 92F pistol that was the same as the one in Qubing's hand, and then demonstrated.
"These two pistols use the magazine feeding mode. The bullets are in the grip you hold. Do you see this round button on the grip? Pinch it with your thumb and the magazine will fall out from the bottom."
Qubing pressed it according to Luo Chong's instructions, and heard a click. As expected, a dark metal magazine fell out from under the grip, but it was empty.
"Lin Fei, is there a place here where I can try out my pistol?" Luo Chong asked anxiously, holding the gun in his hand. He had been in this world for so many years that he almost forgot what a pistol was used for.
"Yes, the pistol has a short range and relatively small power. We do have a small shooting range here for testing." Lin Fei said immediately.
"Okay, then bring some more bullets over, and we'll try the pistol here." Luo Chong nodded and said happily.
Lin Fei waved his hand, and soon someone carried a box of ammunition and followed them to the shooting range.
Although it's called a shooting range, it's not that big. This pistol shooting range is an open-air shooting range, only 100 meters long, and the shooting range is only two meters wide. It is a lane pushed out directly by a bulldozer, that is, a dead end of 100 meters. At the end of the alley, the excavated soil is directly piled up into a small hill to block the bullets fired.
Several people quickly came to the shooting position. There was a simple table made of wooden boards next to it. The accompanying guards directly placed the ammunition box and several pistols on it. Luo Chong skillfully released the magazine and began to show Qubing how to load the bullets.
"When loading the bullets, put the bullet head forward and then press it down. This pistol with the exposed barrel is 9mm caliber and has a capacity of fifteen rounds. Just load fifteen rounds."
Luo Chong demonstrated while Qubing learned beside him. Because he had the foundation of using bolt-action rifles and shotguns before, Qubing learned how to operate it at a glance.
After the two people's magazines were full, Luo Chong did not let him load the magazines directly, but continued to demonstrate and explain with an empty gun.
"See the outer shell on the outside of the barrel? This part is called a slide. When loading the gun, you pull the slide back. But there is no bullet now, so there is no need to load the gun.
"Now watch me operate it. First, pull the slide to the back. At this time, the chamber will be exposed and the ejection port will open. At this time, you find the bottom of the middle of the slide. There is a disassembly valve. Turn it down half a circle, and then push the slide forward to disassemble the gun body."
Qubing quickly followed and learned it. Then the gun in his hand became two parts, the slide, barrel and recoil spring on the top, and the receiver, firing mechanism and grip on the bottom. Then he listened to Luo Chong continue.
"After these guns are put into service, they can be disassembled to this step for normal maintenance. Pull out the recoil spring to reduce the pressure, wipe the inside and outside of the barrel clean, and then reassemble it. The assembly method is to reverse the disassembly action just now. "
Qubing understood as soon as he heard it, because when they used bolt-action rifles before, they also needed to do maintenance frequently. They needed to remove the entire bolt and clean the barrel with a cleaning rod. This pistol is similar.
Insert the barrel into the slide, and then use the recoil spring to clamp the barrel. Then insert the entire slide into the slide groove on the lower part of the gun, pull it all the way back to the bottom, and then restore the disassembly gate to its original position, and the pistol is assembled.
"After assembling the pistol, insert the magazine from under the grip and clamp it. Then look at the side behind the gun body. There is a return button at the gap between the slide and the receiver. Use your thumb to push it down, and the slide will automatically rebound into place. At this time, the bullet has been loaded and you can fire by pulling the trigger. Be careful not to hurt people by accidental discharge. Don't put your finger on the trigger when not firing. "
Luo Chong reminded him while watching Qu Bing. Accidental discharge of a pistol is very dangerous, especially for someone like him who was using a pistol for the first time.
Qu Bing did not disappoint Luo Chong. This kid had some talent for using firearms. After loading the gun, he raised the pistol without any instruction, aimed at the target in front of the alley through the front sight and rear sight on the slide, and then pulled the trigger.
Bang————
with a crisp gunshot, the slide was affected by the recoil and quickly retracted backwards, and at the same time, the ejection window was opened, and the shell flew out automatically. The recoil spring drove the slide forward and pulled the lower A bullet was pushed into the chamber of the gun, completing a perfect automatic reload.
Chirp—
the bullet streaked through the air, making a sharp sound, and accurately hit the semi-human-shaped wooden target twenty meters away.
Hit it!
Qubing was delighted. He didn't expect that this pistol was so easy to use. He could shoot so accurately the first time. Knowing that this gun was semi-automatic and he didn't need to reload, he raised the gun again and aimed at a round steel plate painted red in front of him. The steel plate was forty centimeters in diameter, about the same size as a human torso, and was hung under a wooden beam.
Bang—
ding.
The bullet hit the steel plate with a crisp sound. The sound of metal colliding.
Qubing was having more and more fun shooting. This small pistol was quite powerful, and its size was so small. Its design was exquisite and compact, its functions were simple and practical, it was relatively easy to maintain, and it was light. No wonder the chief said it was a self-defense weapon. He could carry it with him and insert it on his belt like a dagger. It was really convenient!
The chief's design was amazing!
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Qubing fired one shot after another. The large capacity of fifteen rounds made him enjoy shooting. This thing was even more powerful than the previous bolt-action rifle. It could be loaded without firing a single shot, and it could automatically eject shells and replace bullets. It could also hold many bullets. , the previous bolt-action rifles could only hold five rounds of bullets, and even the new semi-automatic rifles could only hold ten rounds of bullets. Compared with those rifles, this pistol is simply amazing.
Except for the short range, there is really no other problem.
But for a pistol, which is originally a close-range self-defense weapon, what is the problem with a short range? If the distance exceeds fifty meters, wouldn’t it be better to use a rifle?
However, Qubing has not yet released the true potential of this semi-automatic pistol. At this time, Luo Chong loaded the bullets and completed the loading. After Qubing finished firing a volley, he stepped forward and said.
"Watch me, learn from me, today I will teach you what rapid response shooting is! "
After saying that, Luo Chong took a step forward and stood at the shooting position, with his feet shoulder-width apart and his legs slightly bent in a horse stance. He held the gun with both hands and fired quickly, leaning forward slightly to aim. Then a series of gunshots like popping beans were heard. Bang, bang, bang,
bang,
bang, bang. A semi-automatic pistol was fired in bursts under Luo Chong's operation. There were also continuous ding-ding sounds coming from the steel plate target in the distance, indicating that Luo Chong didn't miss a single shot. You can imagine how abnormal this gunmanship is.
Qubing, Lin Fei and others were stunned by the side. It turned out that this was the correct way to use a pistol!
Even the guards not far behind Luo Chong were drooling. This pistol was too powerful. I wonder if they can equip them with a batch. This is too tempting.
