Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 100: Weapons (3)
There is not much special about this submachine gun. It can be regarded as a reduced g3 rifle. The semi-rigid roller locking mechanism was originally designed for the use of medium-power 7.92 short bullets, so there is no technical pressure to change to a pistol bullet. At the same time, it is different from the closed-bore shooting mode of other submachine guns at the same time, which makes it obtain shooting accuracy far exceeding similar.
This gun can actually be manufactured a long time ago. While developing the g3, hk company has launched the development of improved models. It is divided into four models, corresponding to several types of ammunition equipped by NATO in the same period. The fourth type is launched. It was the 919 Ruger pistol (Parabellum pistol). The model at the time was hk54, which was the prototype.
The submachine gun began trial production in 1964, and it was not until two years later that it was purchased in small quantities by the Federal Government and became the standard equipment of the German Federal Police, Border Patrol and Army Special Forces.
This is a very sophisticated weapon. Its processing requirements are similar to those of the g3. A large number of stamping parts are used, which effectively reduces man-hours and material costs.
Historically, hk made a lot of money from this gun, because it was only sold to government agencies and not to the private sector. The use of this weapon was the special forces and riot police of various countries, so it became a commonplace in the eyes of civilians. A symbol of government power.
For example, if you are wearing a desert tactical suit with both hands holding Uzi submachine guns, the one next door only wears a t-shirt and beach pants, but with one in your hand, it turns out in the eyes of the people, The guy in shorts looks like an FBI agent, and although you are fully armed, you look like a Mexican drug dealer.
Well, it’s a long way. Now back to the German army, the petrochemical technology in 1940 was still very limited. At that time, chemical fiber and nylon had appeared, and plastic and organic materials had been put into practical use, but Germany Research in this area can only be considered in its infancy.
Xu Jun can get the material formula, but for the chemical production process and technology problem, that is, the seven tricks only pass the six tricks. Fortunately, Europe has the world’s top chemical companies and experts, and these professional problems are left to Professionals come to solve it, anyway, the head of state has issued a death order, and at least a laboratory result must be produced within half a year.
Xu Jun first chose nylon 66 resin. DuPont started producing this material in the United States in 1949. However, they currently only use this material to make synthetic fibers and have not considered injection molding it into other materials. Shaped products, because the textile industry was the most profitable at that time, they could get the most profit for the company.
DuPont has not yet registered a patent in Germany. In fact, it does not matter if it is registered. German chemists can completely disguise it as another product, such as adding some synthetic additives, changing the process flow or something. A set used by the Germans is already well-accepted.
Nylon resin will be the main raw material for manufacturing g3 and handguards and **** stocks. However, before mass production of this material, the first few batches of products can only use traditional wooden materials, and the weight will be increased compared to 98k. Quite a lot, but considering that the German warriors are as powerful as cows, a weight of 501 kilograms should not have much effect.
With new submachine guns and automatic rifles, let’s take a look at pistols. Xu Jun found that there was really no need for improvement. The pistols in the German army have been popularized, and the performance of the established standard pistols is also very good. Now all he has to do is to unify the caliber and bullets of the guns and reduce the pressure on logistics.
The standard of the bullet is determined to be 9-frame pistol bullets (Parabellum bullets), although the power is not as powerful as the American point four or five bullets (11.43x23 Erte pistol bullets), but considering the initial velocity and ballistics, the two The gap is not as obvious as everyone thinks. Perhaps the point four or five bullets have a stronger stopping effect, but the Luger bullets are more accurate when firing. In view of the fact that the German army has already equipped a large number of weapons that use 9 rounds, Xu Jun does not consider changing the course and stretching the branches.
After finishing the pistol issue, let’s talk about grenades. The Germans currently use long-handled grenade, which is also a fairly classic weapon. In addition to throwing at the enemy, it is also used by soldiers as a melee weapon. In the Battle of England, many British soldiers died under this "warhammer" in hand-to-hand combat.
The disadvantage of this kind of grenade is that it is too bulky to carry. German soldiers usually carry only two with them, which are inserted in the boot or belt. The manufacturer prepared a special carrying bag for this kind of grenades. It can fit five grenades at a time, but the shape is so stupid that it makes people laugh. It is a rectangular plastic-coated waterproof bag.
This was originally prepared for engineers and commandos. As a result, everyone was willing to fill their bodies with grenades and were reluctant to carry this stuff to the front. In addition to being ugly, the main reason was that it was taken from the inside in an actual combat environment. Playing is very inconvenient.
Some experts say that the fragments of German grenade exploded are too small and the lethality will be insufficient, and use this as evidence that this grenade lags behind the U.S. i-grenade.
This view is obviously wrong, because they completely misunderstood the concept. It is essentially different from i. It is a standard offensive grenade.
The German army advocates offense. Of course, they are equipped with grenades that are good for offensive use. The power mainly comes from its 170g charge, which uses the high temperature and shock waves generated by the explosion to kill unarmored targets. The designer deliberately changed the cartridge case from the prototype cast iron to a thin steel plate pressing, in addition to facilitating processing and production, in order not to split too many shrapnel.
This kind of killing method can prevent the grenade from exploding on the enemy's position, and the shrapnel will damage your own personnel who are charging towards the enemy's position and there is no cover~IndoMTL.com~ and i is a standard Defensive grenade, theoretically, the thrower is hiding behind a solid defensive position, and there is no need to worry about the threat of grenade shrapnel. The scattered shrapnel is obviously more suitable for killing group targets than shock waves, so it is not only engraved on the projectile. Some of the grooves are even filled with prefabricated fragments such as steel wires and steel **** in order to generate more shrapnel after the explosion and increase the lethality within the effective range.
In history, China also imported a large number of German grenades, and also imitated some of them on its own, but at that time few people in China understood the concept of offensive grenades, because of the lack of raw materials, black powder was filled in the bombs as the charge. However, there were not many shrapnels of this kind of design, and the power of the shock wave was reduced a lot after changing the charge. As a result, it was unable to cause effective damage to the enemy. As a result, many anti-Japanese soldiers could only meet with the enemy on the battlefield.
Actually, the method of converting into a defensive grenade is very simple. There was a similar invention during World War I, which was to put a prefabricated fragment shell on the shell body, or glue a layer of steel **** inside the shell shell. , There is almost no technical content, and family workshops in the countryside can be completed.
