Chapter 241 Selection and Improvement

Small caliber, the biggest advantage is that it greatly reduces the pressure on logistics! The same resources can provide more bullets, and under the same load, a single soldier can carry more bullets!

Therefore, from the very beginning, Germany will complete a small-caliber revolution!

Cyric is pretty firm, just use 6.8mm!

"Single-shot bolt-action rifles are about to become obsolete in this era." Cyric continued: "In the future, our elite troops, basic infantry squads, should be equipped with six to eight such submachine guns. The firepower density will be greatly improved. At the same time, we can also improve the squad machine gun using this bullet on the basis of this submachine gun, which can maximize the use of ammunition in the infantry squad."

"Think about it, our opponents are still using bolt-action rifles. Our individual soldiers already have this advanced weapon, and the combat effectiveness of our infantry squad will be greatly improved." Cyric continued: " At the same time, our previous ammunition is not obsolete. At the platoon level, we also need the current 7.92mm caliber machine gun, as well as snipers who use Mauser 98K rifles as sniper rifles. At the company level, we need larger caliber heavyweights machine gun."

This 6.8mm caliber rifle bullet will become the focus in the future, not only the submachine gun of the individual soldier, but also the squad machine gun will be developed, and as many parts as possible will be exchanged. ideas.

Small-caliber weapons are very suitable for use as assault rifles and squad machine guns, and there are some tasteless designs in later generations, such as small-caliber 5.8mm sniper rifles, which are purely for fun.

In the beginning, the small caliber was because it didn't need that much power, but the sniper rifle just needs a lot of power. As for the weight, the sniper rifle doesn't care at all. If the sniper wastes bullets like an assault rifle, it is simply It is unforgivable.

Now, there are many more 7.92mm bullets in stock in Germany, and these bullets are still very useful.

However, in the future, the weapons of individual soldiers will be dominated by this assault rifle, which is certain.

"Our Waffen SS hopes to be the first to replace these submachine guns." Cyric continued, as he said, he picked up the 6.8mm rifle, disassembled the gun into various parts, and then said to Hugo : "The locking mechanism of this gun can actually be improved."

If you say STG44 and AK series, who is more suitable, there is no doubt, it must be the AK series, this rifle has spread all over the world, and together with RPG, it has become the favorite of terrorists, which is an example.

Simple and practical, low failure rate, simple processing, and can be produced by small workshops.

The biggest difference between these two rifles is the locking mechanism. Now, Cyric wants to improve the locking mechanism of this gun, which is similar to the AK rifle of later generations.

Locking means that when the bullet is fired, the chamber is airtight, the bullet in front is embedded in the rifling, and the rear has to rely on the bolt and the end of the barrel to bite, which is the lock.

For automatic locking, the barrel end and bolt head of these guns are not smooth planes, but have projections or grooves, so that they can bite into each other, which is very suitable for bolt action rifles. It is said that this kind of bite is directly buckled, and if you want to burst, it must be achieved by deflecting, swinging, turning and other actions.

In the current rifle, the locking is the way of offset. In this way, the entire locking support surface is on the receiver, and the entire receiver is a stressed part, and the strength needs to be guaranteed.

The bolt rotation locking refers to the way the bolt realizes the locking by rotating around itself or the axis of the barrel.

This locking surface is at the end of the barrel, so the receiver can be designed to be unstressed, which can reduce the weight of the receiver, while reducing the failure rate and so on.

Cyric explained his thoughts succinctly, and the firearm designers present widened their eyes.

It is of course necessary to reduce the weight of the gun! And this method will be more reliable, of course, it can be improved along this line of thinking!

"General Cyric, we admire your wisdom, and I really want to invite you as our honorary designer," said the person in charge of Heinel.

These are not difficult for Cyric. At the beginning, Cyric could draw the structure of the tank closely, and it was even more difficult to draw the receiver and locking principle of this firearm.

Hearing the words of the person in charge of the Heiner Company, Cyric shook his head: "Rather than designing firearms, I prefer to take this kind of firearm to the front line and destroy all our German enemies!"

"We'll wait until that day!" Hitler was high-spirited on the side: "We, Germany, will be so strong that the whole world trembles! About our new firearms, it can be determined now, with this 6.8mm caliber as the main, our fighters , will take it and conquer the whole world!"

After the First World War, all the German colonies were divided up, and now, Germany needs to take up arms again, use its own sword, and plow the land for Germany! Use German guns to win the living space for Germany!

Instead of grabbing those faraway sites, it's better to start at your doorstep!

Just after leaving the Heinel company, Hitler received the latest news that the Austrian side agreed to the German proposal, and Austrian Chancellor Schuchnigg would meet with the German side in Berchtesgaden.

So, coming out of Heinel, the team did not return to Berlin, but headed for Berchtesgaden.

Surrounded by tall and straight mountains and lush trees, this is the most scenic area in Germany, with clear and green King Lake and Germany's second highest peak, the Watzmann Mountain. In later generations, a national forest park was also established here.

Meeting the Chancellor of Austria here, in addition to its pleasant scenery, is also because it borders Austria, and Berchtesgaden County is surrounded by the Austrian state of Salzburg to the east, south and southwest.

It can be said that it is better to meet on the border of the two sides than in Berlin. After all, Germany is already aggressive.

Here, it is also known for another reason. Anyone who is familiar with World War II knows that Hitler's second nest is the Eagle's Nest, and Hitler's Eagle's Nest is in the Upper Salzburg Mountains in the Berchtesgaden area! Now, there is already a magnificent venue.
