Chapter 1360 A New Era (Part 1)

Of course Malashenko trusts Karamov. If he didn't trust Karamov, he would not leave such an important matter to him. Therefore, Karamov's self-recommendation was just laughed at by Malashenko.

"Okay, we'll talk about the rest later. Take me to see the gun first."

"Um"

Karamov nodded, then turned around and raised his arm towards the tent that was already close at hand.

"It has been prepared for a long time. Comrade division commander, come over here."

AK47, an individual light weapon that has been streamlined to the extreme, is as classic and immortal as Michael Jackson in the world of small arms! Compared with other Russian national cultures, there are more tough guys around the world who are more familiar with AK than others. This thing is as immortal as the spiritual totem of the fighting nation.

During the years when he was studying in Russia before time travel, Malashenko or Lin Jie played with this legendary old gun more than once. Repeatedly disassembling and reassembling, studying every detail of this old gun, understanding its performance and structure, and maintaining it carefully, then stuffing the fully loaded magazine into the chamber on the shooting range, and pouring destruction towards the distant target. fire.

There are many games suitable for real men, and playing AK is one of them. The feeling when holding this 62mm destruction machine in your hands while it roars and fires like crazy is truly beyond words.

Malashenko, who is very familiar with AK, never thought that one day he would play with this epic and legendary weapon in 1944.

The first weapon box that Karamov pried open was placed at the top within easy reach. Six new assault rifles, arranged vertically and assembled without magazines, were lying quietly inside, waiting to be fired. The moment a person picks it up and holds it in his hand.

Comrade Lao Ma's heart was excited, to be precise, he was very, very excited.

Being able to play AK in 1944 is so fucking awesome just thinking about it!

The moment his fingertips touched the cold upper receiver, the real touch was like an electric shock, making Malashenko tremble instantly. There seemed to be hesitation, but he mustered up the courage to reach forward again with his hands, and finally grasped the handle and handguard tightly. He raised his hands and lifted out the entire light weapon without a magazine.

""

There were no unnecessary words or admiration that blurted out instantly. Malashenko, who had already fallen into an intoxicated state, turned left and right, looking at the thing in his hand over and over again for eternity, and his eyes were as wide as two bells. The same is always half an inch disadvantageous.

"Yes, exactly the same! That's it, that's what I need!!!"

The last time Malashenko shouted these words seemed to be when he was receiving new heavy tanks. Comrade Political Commissar cannot remember exactly what time and which type of heavy tank it was.

Although our Comrade Lao Ma was exclaiming in ecstasy and excited about what this guy was doing, the political commissar on the side couldn't understand what was going on and was full of questions.

I originally thought that I would wait for Malashenko to finish it and then come over to see it with my own eyes and play with it, but Comrade Political Commissar felt that if this situation continues, Malashenko will probably have to hold this thing in his hand and see it for a while. Don’t let go of eight points.

Comrade Comrade Political Commissar, who didn't want to wait any longer, took the initiative to take a step forward, took out a new weapon from the weapon box piled in front of him, and held it in his hand with his only one arm.

In fact, it feels lighter in the hand than it looks. Although the size is not small, it feels extremely comfortable to hold. However, it looks like a submachine gun, a rifle, and a bit like a machine gun. But it really makes the political commissars unable to tell the difference. I don't know how to give this thing a proper name.

There is a gap that looks like a magazine slot just below the receiver at the front of the grip. Political commissars who have been in the army for decades can naturally see the function of this gap.

Turning his head and taking a look inside the box, he found that the neatly arranged magazines were pressed at the bottom of the box. Comrade Comrade Political Commissar reached out to take them out, and gently inserted the magazine with one hand using a slightly unfamiliar movement of holding the gun body under his arm. Then he pulled the side of the gun body that was suspected to be a gun bolt to make a loading action.

There was no bullet inserted into the magazine, it was just an empty magazine. However, after the real touch of metal friction and impact came through the palm of my hand, it still attracted the admiration of Comrade Political Commissar.

"Your evaluation seems to be correct, Malashenko. After using it, it does feel like a good gun should be, but you called it an assault rifle before? Why did you call it this name? It is similar to ordinary light weapons. Is there any difference?"

Comrade Political Commissar's question hit the nail on the head and went straight to the point. Malashenko, who had basically finished his eyesore and hand addiction, smiled calmly. Temporarily putting the brand new AK aside, he faced the other AK in the hand of Comrade Political Commissar and said.

"Let me introduce a new weapon concept to you first, Comrade Political Commissar."

"The submachine gun has a high rate of fire but insufficient range. The rifle has a long enough range but a very slow rate of fire. Although the machine gun has a high rate of fire and a long range, it is a higher-level infantry weapon. It is obviously unrealistic to mass-produce and equip all team members with small arms.”

"Just imagine, is it possible to combine the advantages of these three weapons to design and manufacture a new individual light weapon. This new gun has a range similar to that of a rifle and a rate of fire of a submachine gun, and it can also perfectly overcome This solves the problem of the infantry squad not being able to equip each person with a large number of light machine guns.”

"It combines all the advantages you can think of in one. Although it is not the most outstanding in terms of single performance, it is more versatile than specialized. It can adapt to almost any battle distance, close combat, trench assault, and fire suppression."

"With it, our soldiers can better adapt to and participate in various battles, and the firepower of the infantry squad will be qualitatively enhanced."

"My plan is to use it to form a pilot unit to replace all the current submachine guns first. Of course, ordinary rifles cannot be completely replaced, and An Bolt-action sniper rifles and semi-automatic sniper rifles equipped with sniper scopes must still be retained. Assault rifles can handle medium and short-range combat, but they cannot handle long-range combat missions, which must still be completed by machine guns and sniper rifles. "

"This is the detailed situation and the general replacement plan. If you have any opinions or suggestions, you can directly raise them, and we will discuss whether to change them. The pilot test of new weapons is very important, which will affect the future development of our Red Army infantry, so in this regard, I still need your experience and help. "
