Chapter 489 Absolutely fast, relatively accurate

Although the 6th ring is the outermost circle of the target paper, if you aim and shoot slowly, the result would not be terrible, but at least just average.

But everyone saw it with their own eyes just now. Gao Zhendong held the butt of the gun and did not fire, but used one drum magazine to fire from beginning to end.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably only be able to hit the target with the first few shots. Don't even think about how many rings he would get with the rest. It would be considered a skill if he could just hit the target paper.

Gao Zhendong can basically control the impact point within the 7th ring when firing continuously, which is terrifying.

This also shows that the original accuracy of this machine gun is very good. Otherwise, if the natural dispersion is large, then no matter how good the technique is or how stable the gun is, it will not achieve this effect.

Professor Liu looked at the target paper, looked at Gao Zhendong with astonished eyes, and joked: "Mr. Gao, I only know that you have been on the battlefield, but I never thought that this gun could be shot like this. Otherwise, you can be our test shooter."

To be honest, if we only talk about accuracy among the shooters from Beijing University of Technology, he really can't find a better shooter than Gao Zhendong.

Gao Zhendong laughed: "Okay, I'll be your shooter today."

It can only be done for one day. It is definitely not possible to soak here every day.

As he spoke, he took out the assault rifle.

Different from the Type 81 gun family, this squad gun family only has one machine gun and one assault rifle. Due to its structure, it is estimated that the short-barreled rifle will not appear.

Among the three guns in the 81 gun family, there are actually two that are basically identical, namely the two assault rifles. There is no difference except that the straight stock has been changed to a folding stock.

The biggest difference between this assault rifle and the 81 at first glance is that the gun is shorter and the front sight appears to be positioned further forward than the 81.

But the actual barrel length does not make any difference. Because one small regret of the 81-step rifle is that the section of the barrel before the front sight is not actually a real barrel, it has no rifling and cannot hold the breath. It is a muzzle device that takes into account the functions of a flame suppressor and a grenade launcher.

The reason why it is so long is that it is prepared for the rifle grenade that is rarely used, which is a waste.

As for the gun in Gao Zhendong's hand, due to the emergence of rifle-mounted grenades and disposable rocket launchers, the army directly cancelled the need to launch rifle grenades, so the muzzle part is just a short flash suppressor.

Gao Zhendong felt very comfortable looking at this thing. The long muzzle device of 81 looked quite impressive, but in fact, it was of no use except increasing the length of the whole gun and a little bit of weight.

Gao Zhendong had handled the predecessor of this gun before, so he didn't need any help from Professor Liu and others to guide him. He was able to inspect, disassemble and assemble the gun expertly.

The basic structure and automatic principle of this assault rifle are exactly the same as those of the light machine gun mentioned above. The automatic, recoil, firing and other mechanisms, as well as the gas system and ammunition supply device of the two are completely interchangeable.

The two guns have 75% common parts, which is very beneficial for production and logistics.

This ratio is even higher than that of 81, because the stocks of this family of guns are also universal.

The biggest difference is the barrel assembly. Although the barrels are both non-removable and replaceable, the squadron's barrel is longer, thicker, and heavier, which can effectively improve the firepower sustainability and effective range.

The front handguards of both guns are the same. Although Professor Liu and his team cannot think of anything to hang on the universal rail of the machine gun for the time being, in order to simplify the production process and reduce costs, the handguards of the two guns are almost the same.

Gao Zhendong disassembled and assembled it several times, and said to Professor Liu with satisfaction: "Not bad, I think this thing is pretty good."

If things like reliability and durability can only be known after testing or long-term use, Gao Zhendong has basically gotten a feel for the maintenance performance and whether disassembly and assembly are convenient.

Professor Liu was also very happy to hear Gao Zhendong's approval. This was the personal experience of a soldier who had returned from a hundred battles. If designing guns was Professor Liu's strong point, then using guns was Gao Zhendong's strong point.

This doesn’t seem to be right, as Gao Zhendong’s gun designs seem to be pretty good.

Professor Liu said with a smile, "Why don't you give it a try? Don't worry about our test plan and procedures. As long as it is safe, you can do whatever you want."

Compared to the squad machine gun, this one should be the one with the largest equipment quantity, so this is also the one that Professor Liu attaches the most importance to.

The reason why Professor Liu asked Gao Zhendong to play freely was that he wanted to see what kind of performance the free play could show in the hands of someone with practical experience, or to find out what problems could be found.

There are many problems that you would not be able to discover in a short period of time unless you use the device for a long time or if you are operated by someone with rich experience.

For example, Gao Zhendong once gave them a suggestion about the sight.

The sights of this family of guns are basically the same as those of the Type 56. Gao Zhendong gave them some suggestions. Under this structure, the black treatment on the surface of the rear sight is easily worn off by clothing, etc., causing reflections. Under poor lighting conditions, it is easy for virtual light to affect aiming. It is recommended to add protective wings on both sides of the rear sight.

Originally, our front sight was protected, but the rear sight was not. Professor Liu and his colleagues rubbed the rear sight with cloth and found that it was indeed like this. This is not a problem that can be solved by surface treatment technology. No matter how good the surface treatment technology is, it cannot avoid this problem. Moreover, our technology is just average at that time.

So they admired that only people who have used this thing before could grasp the details, and at the same time they followed suit and added the wings.

After adding it and trying it, I found that this problem was basically solved, and it also brought a benefit. In an emergency situation where two people meet in a narrow road and fight hand-to-hand, you can just raise the gun and put the crosshairs and target into the guard wing to hit the target with almost no accuracy, and the reaction is much quicker.

Therefore, they attached great importance to Gao Zhendong's suggestions, not only on the early principles and structures, but also on the later adjustments to the details.

Gao Zhendong came more than once and found many problems and made many suggestions as mentioned above, but there are always endless problems.

——"This program relies on Bug to run, please do not modify it."

Gao Zhendong loaded the magazine of the assault rifle and began to try shooting.

This time, there was no water splashing. First, the barrel of an assault rifle is not as durable as that of a light machine gun. Second, assault rifles are mostly used in single shots and bursts.

However, although burst shooting is more common, replacing automatic shooting with three-shot burst shooting is a step too big. At least in Gao Zhendong's opinion, burst shooting is relatively easy to master in full-automatic mode through training. There is no need to specially prepare for three-shot burst shooting. It is even more abstract to replace full-automatic shooting with three-shot burst shooting.

——I can do without full automatic, but you can’t.

"Da da da……"

“Da da da…da da da…da da da…”

Gao Zhendong's shooting sounds echoed throughout the shooting range, very rhythmic.

Next to him, comrades from the army who came to participate in and observe the experiment watched him shooting with great interest.

After a while, the target paper was brought over. He was shooting at different targets for single shots and bursts.

This time the accuracy of the gun and Gao Zhendong's skills were demonstrated. On the target paper for single-shot shooting, not a single shot was outside the ten rings. The center of the bull's eye was completely rotten, and it was impossible to tell how many shots had hit the target.

Comrades in the army looked at the target paper and exclaimed: "Chief Engineer Gao, your shooting skills are amazing."

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "It's okay, but it's still far worse than a real sharpshooter."

For example, Mr. Zhang, he thought. But it was hard to say this. Given his age and experience in this world, if he called him "Mr. Zhang", people would think his brain was squeezed by a door.

Here it comes again. Chief Engineer Gao is good in every way except that he is quite annoying when he is humble.

However, the target paper for point shooting was quite strange. The bullet impact points could be roughly seen as they were concentrated in groups of three, but they did not tend towards the center of the bull's eye. Instead, they were scattered here and there on the target paper.

What’s interesting is that they look quite scattered, but upon closer inspection, none of them are off target.

The comrades in the army looked at the target paper and looked at each other in bewilderment. You say it’s not accurate, but it’s actually quite accurate. You say it’s quite accurate, but it doesn’t seem like Chief Engineer Gao’s style.

At this time, an elderly comrade in the army spoke up: "Comrade, when I see you firing bursts, you always raise your gun and shoot, as if you don't really aim. And you put the gun down after firing a burst, and then raise it again while moving. Is there any reason for this?"

This old comrade is unfamiliar. He is not one of those who often hang out at the shooting range of Beijing University of Technology. It is probably because the matter today is more important and a high-level leader is also here.

Gao Zhendong touched his head and said: "Commander, you have an excellent eye. This is how I shoot. I draw my gun quickly, shoot quickly, aim roughly, and try to fire before the enemy."

Gao Zhendong summarized his shooting method in just a few highly concise sentences.

The old comrade's eyes lit up: "Aim roughly and fire before the enemy? Why is that?"

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "This is the experience we gained from tunnel warfare, trench warfare, mountain warfare, and point search. In encounters, there is no time to slowly aim. What is needed is speed and to fire before the enemy. Even if we can't kill or injure them, we can at least suppress them first. There is no point in aiming too accurately. No matter where you hit, the enemy will most likely lose its combat effectiveness after one shot."

At this point, Gao Zhendong quickly made a few gun-drawing movements and said with a smile: "The requirement I set for myself and my comrades in the platoon in this kind of environment is - absolutely fast! Relatively accurate!"

Watching Gao Zhendong's neat movements and thinking carefully about what he said, the old comrade laughed out loud, very happy: "Well said! Well summarized! Definitely fast and relatively accurate... Well, interesting, interesting."
