Chapter 602: Fire like a semi-automatic, use like a submachine gun
This was a big deal, and everyone gathered around.
It seems that Comrade Li Dayan's marksmanship, under such interference-free shooting conditions, is comparable to Gao Zhendong's.
When I looked at the target paper, I saw that, as expected, every shot was in the center of the bull's eye, proving that the gun dispersion was very good.
The other one was not like that. At first glance, it seemed that the shot was not very accurate, and there were 6 bullet holes scattered all over the target paper.
But this one caused even more amazement among the crowd, as it was shot with a single shot.
It turns out that submachine gun is good, but everyone knows its problems. It is not very accurate to begin with, and it is even more unreliable when firing continuously. If you want to hit the target with all the shots at a distance of 100 meters, that requires pure luck and has nothing to do with skill.
That is to say, someone like Gao Zhendong, who has extraordinary arm strength, can forcibly control the entire burst of fire to hit the target.
But there is no Gao Zhendong here, the ceiling here is Comrade Li Dayan.
Even for him, it had never been so smooth before, and he could hit the target with both sets of bursts of fire.
This is a semi-automatic with the accuracy and firepower of a submachine gun.
Our semi-automatic rifle has a very good accuracy. When fighting in the south, the ethnic minority soldier Yanlong killed 56 enemies with this gun, which was regarded as an account for all ethnic groups in the country. Unfortunately, he died while searching for the enemy later.
The battalion commander looked at the target paper and kept repeating: "Good gun, good gun!"
After saying that, he turned around, looked at Li Dayan, and asked, "Dayan, tell me, how does it feel when you fight?"
Li Dayan touched his head and said, "It's very comfortable. The recoil is actually not very different if you look at it carefully, but it feels easier to control. The direction of the force is in line with the gun, unlike before, when it felt offset from the gun. The gun itself has a very small jump, which is related to the design of the gun, such as the oblique cut on the muzzle. Anyway, when you shoot, this gun is completely different from a submachine gun."
The submachine guns here naturally refer to the AK-47 and its imitations, which are also famous for their violent rebound and high reliability. Moreover, the rebound is caused by the entire structure, not just one aspect.
"Do you think this gun's accuracy can catch up with a semi-automatic one?"
"I feel like it's about the same and I can catch up. Anyway, I'm quite used to fighting." This can be regarded as "expert certification" in the battalion. The battalion commander was overjoyed when he heard it, and turned around to greet the company commanders.
"Hurry up and use them! Practice! Don't feel bad, shoot like a semi-automatic, use it like a submachine gun!"
It is easy to understand how to shoot it like a semi-automatic, this gun is very accurate.
But if it is used like a submachine gun, people are a little confused.
The battalion commander explained: "Just don't worry, don't feel bad, just do what you need to do. Guns are for use in combat, not for being used as a father. Proper maintenance must be in place, but when it's time to use it, you must also use it solidly!"
In fact, to put it bluntly, submachine guns are durable. Use it hard and see if it can catch up with submachine guns in this aspect!
It has to be said that this battalion commander is experienced and his purpose is actually easy to understand.
He just wants to find out the problems with the gun as quickly as possible during rigorous use, so that our scientific research comrades can improve the gun. It is normal that there are some design shortcomings when the gun is just made, and now he wants to discover these problems as quickly as possible to help improve the gun and make it more and more perfect.
The reason is simple. Until now, he really likes this gun, no, these two guns!
There are many officers and soldiers who feel the same as him. It is not known how reliable this gun is, but what we know is that basically everyone is very satisfied with it and can't put it down.
There are some minor problems, but they are mainly related to production. There are some design problems as well, but they are not serious. This is why some troops were asked to try it out first. As it is a snowy plateau, they are only one of the first troops to try it out.
At the same time, officers and soldiers distributed in the desert Gobi, mountain swamps, tropical jungles, plains and hills also received this new gun. Their experience and suggestions on use will be continuously transmitted back to the Land Equipment Bureau and the Defense Work Committee for use by Beijing University of Technology to improve and perfect the 61 gun family.
Gradually, everyone started to use the new gun for normal training. The training ground was filled with the sounds of killing and gunfire. The battalion commander looked at the soldiers with satisfaction. At this time, comrades from the battalion's firepower company came over.
The battalion firepower company is not the battalion artillery company. Their main weapon is still the gun. They are divided into three firepower platoons, which can be used in a concentrated manner and reinforced to any company in wartime.
As a high-tech weapon of this era, when the Red Sword-61 was sent to the camp, they were definitely the first to learn how to use it, unlike the Type 61 fire, which was directly sent to the squad.
"Battalion commander, political instructor, we have made preparations for the test launch of the new missile. Would you like to go over and take a look?" asked a comrade from the firepower company.
The battalion commander and the instructor were both excited. This was a new gadget. They had never thought that they would be able to use this kind of thing before. They had to take a look at it.
"Let's go, let's go!" The battalion commander called out and wanted to go over.
The instructor had other ideas, and pulled the battalion commander aside: "Captain, why don't we just ask them to come over and fight, so that all the soldiers in the battalion can see it?"
It’s a new weapon, so let everyone see its performance and have an idea of it.
The battalion commander was not a rough man, and he had thought about this problem a long time ago: "I'm afraid this thing is too new, and the guys in the firepower company will make a fool of themselves in a fight."
The commander of the firepower company was furious when he heard this: "Battalion commander, what are you talking about? Are you underestimating us? This thing is very easy to use. I guarantee that it won't make you look bad!" If it is indeed easy to make a fool of yourself when firing hand-operated bullets, then the line-of-sight semi-active command guidance method of the Red Sword-61 has a much lower probability of making a fool of yourself in the absence of interference. The commander of the firepower company had already understood the situation of the Red Sword-61 thoroughly before coming to report.
The battalion commander looked at him and laughed, "Really? If you make a fool of yourself in front of the whole battalion, I won't cover it for you."
If you make a fool of yourself in your own camp, you will have to bear the consequences yourself.
The commander of the firepower company was anxious: "Don't worry, Battalion Commander, if there is any problem in the battle, you can fire me!"
"Bullshit, why should I dismiss you? If there is a problem in the battle, you will be laughed at yourself. You should practice more on your own. Okay, then you get ready and just pull him over." Damn it, if I dismiss you, where can I find such a good firepower company commander?
The good thing about the missile's range is that the launch site has been changed, but the target range does not need to be changed accordingly. On the cliff more than 2 kilometers away, the firepower company commander had people draw a white circle, but in the eyes of the soldiers, it was only a small dot left.
A target 2.5 kilometers away looks the same no matter which training ground you are at and can be hit.
After a while, several soldiers from the firepower company came over carrying two boxes, neither of which were big.
The battalion commander took a quick look and said, "That's all? Impossible?"
If nothing else, he knew that a missile would never be this short. This one looked almost as wide as it was long.
The firepower company commander laughed and said, "Battalion Commander, this is what the missile looks like. You will understand it when you see it."
After saying that, he opened the box.
The battalion commander looked at the missile that was split into two halves in the box and exclaimed in amazement: "Hey, this is amazing. Who came up with this idea?"
After saying this, he closed the box again and weighed it.
"Well, the comrade who did this is very experienced. This box is well designed. Although it will take a little longer to prepare by dividing it into two halves, it is more convenient to carry."
He also often carried equipment on long marches and was extremely sensitive to weight.
Weighing the missile and the box of the Chijian-61, he found it weighed about 13 kilograms. Based on his experience, one person could carry this amount, but if there were other equipment to carry, it would be difficult to carry two missiles under normal circumstances.
If you only carry one missile, then this missile box is definitely much easier to carry than the long and swinging launch tube. This is different from the Type 61 missile which is only more than 3 kilograms. The weight of that missile is enough to carry many missiles, so the long tube is more convenient to use than the square box and can carry multiple missiles side by side.
These comrades who are doing research have very smart brains. Different guys have different packaging.
The battalion commander was quite satisfied with this and waved his hand: "Prepare it, let me see it."
On the front of the box, there is a launching bracket folded on the box body, which can be stood up and locked by pulling it.
The comrades from the firepower company quickly placed the back half of the missile on the rail, and then picked up the warhead and installed it on it.
At Gao Zhendong's suggestion, the four fixing bolts originally designed have been changed into two quick-release handles on the projectile body. Just hook the hook onto the warhead and push the handle back into place, which is very fast.
Moreover, once the handle is in place, it is automatically locked, so it takes some effort to disassemble it.
This is to prevent the handle from loosening during firing and flight. Anyway, this thing is most likely to be fired after it is installed, so there is nothing wrong with locking it tightly.
Since there is no need to wire, the missile is basically installed by pressing the two handles into place. Generally speaking, the speed is very fast. The battalion commander estimated that in the hands of skilled soldiers, it would not be slower than installing the fuse on the 82 mortar shells of the battalion artillery company.
So fast? The battalion commander was very happy. If this thing was used well, it could play a role that the 82-force gun could not.
The soldiers of the firepower company connected the wires to the guidance device, which had a simple but stable tripod. Facing forward, there were two large eyes, and facing backward, there was an eyepiece with a rubber buffer bowl.
The entire guidance device looks very compact and efficient. The battalion commander also weighed it and found it to be heavier than the packaging launch box, but not much heavier.
After all the wires were connected, the soldier lay down and put his eyes to the eyepiece, adjusted it, then stood up and saluted.
From unboxing to preparation, the entire process took no more than a minute.
"The Red Sword-61 anti-tank missile is ready to launch! Please give instructions!"
