Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 99: Weapon (medium)

Remember [67♂Book ÷] in one second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-up windows!

With a sophisticated bullet, then there must be a rifle that fires this bullet. Xu Jun didn't have many choices. After all, until the end of World War II, there was no automatic rifle with excellent performance. What Xu Jun wanted from the beginning was an automatic rifle, not an assault rifle that fired medium-power bullets.

Now because of Xu Jun’s decision, the famous MP44 in history has disappeared, and the matching German 7.92x33mm short bullet will no longer appear. It will definitely affect the invention of the Soviet Union’s 7.62x39 bullet. The Soviets can use it for reference. There are only 7.62NATO bullets, which means that the AK series will be delayed for a long time before it will appear, and it will not even be designed at all, unless the history of Hugo Schmeiser repeats itself. It seems that this is obviously a little unlikely now.

The weapon chosen by the head of state Xu Da was the first standard automatic rifle equipped in history after the reconstruction of the Wehrmacht after the war, the famous G3 automatic rifle.

To say that the G3 rifle was developed in the early 1950s, it is actually beyond the scope of Xu Jun’s database. The problem is that Xu Jun has a full set of drawings of its prototype CEAM.M50 automatic rifle. The important thing is that Xu Jun has personally disassembled this rifle.

The private military museum not only collects World War II equipment, but also a lot of army equipment from the division of East and West Germany. Of course, the famous G3 rifle is indispensable. As the main technician of the museum, Xu Jun once disassembled and maintained the entire G3 gun family (had a lot of fun at that time o(*≧▽≦)ツ), knew the parts and structure inside, even he could draw with bare hands Come out the gun structure diagram.

At that time, Xu Jun would never have thought that this rifle would become his own "invention" in another time and space.

The semi-rigid roller locking bolt machine is not a technical secret. It is just a few improvements on the roller locking bolt machine. The latter is the MG42. Now it is called the locking form of the MG40 machine gun. This structure can be effective Reduce the recoil generated by the bolt.

The semi-rigid roller locking bolt machine is a new type of locking structure developed on the basis of the roller locking structure. Historically, it was invented by Mauser’s gun designer Ludwig Grimmler until the end of the war. Came out, and developed the last assault rifle Stg45 of Nazi Germany on this basis. It should be pointed out that this weapon still fires a 7.92 short ammunition.

At the end of the war, Grimmler was captured by the Allies. He first assembled the Stg45 for the British in a Dutch prisoner-of-war camp. After his release, he was sent to France to start developing assault rifles for the French.

At that time, the Mulhouse Machinery Studio in France was developing a new assault rifle for the French Army. The technical prototype was the Stg45. The deadly French asked this new automatic rifle to develop three launching different calibers. The type of ammunition for comparison by the Ministry of Defense, one is the German 7.92 short ammunition, the other is the 7.65x35mm intermediate ammunition developed by France, and the third is the 7.5mm carbine ammunition.

As a result, Grimmler came up with a design that satisfies the French. This is an automatic rifle with a tripod and a folding butt. The performance was very good at the time. The problem is that at this time France is suppressing the uprising in French Indochina, and its military expenditure is already beyond its means. In addition, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is being established. The French army's demand for new weapons is not very strong. The French finally cancelled the weapons project.

But the design of the CEAMM50 model has been completed. This weapon is very similar to the G3 rifle at this time, with only slight differences in the heat sink and magazine.

After the project was discontinued, Grimmler lost his job, but he quickly got an invitation from Spain to design a standard rifle for Spain. So Grimmler immediately left for Spain and was hired by the Spanish Saitemai Agency (Spanish Technology and Special Materials Research and Development Center), a government agency specializing in the development of light weapons.

Grimler brought the French CEAMM50 design drawings (which Spain calls the model), and based on this, developed a Setme rifle that fires 7.62x51mm bullets. It's just that Spain used reduced ammunition at this time, and it was not until the emergence of G3 that it was improved to a model that can launch full ammunition.

The Federal Republic of Germany signed a weapon purchase contract with Spain. In addition to importing a batch of this rifle, it also required that this rifle designed by the Germans could be produced in Germany. In the end, Grimmler returned to his home country with the Setmai rifle, and further improved Setmai at the famous H&K (Heikele and Koch Company), which was finally finalized in 1956. For the G3 automatic rifle.

However, the current history has changed. This rifle will appear in the world 16 years earlier, perhaps 15 years, depending on the efficiency of Mauser's work.

Mauser has been numb to the endless inventions of the heads of state. They are even more confident than the heads of state. They have no doubts about the feasibility of the design. Now a bunch of designers from Mauser factories are conducting secondary designs on the structural drawings. Among them is Ludwig Grimmler, the original designer of this gun.

Xu Jun just drew the design sketch of this weapon, as well as structural details and technical parameters. The rest of the work and production drawings need to be drawn by technicians. However, Xu Jun has already produced the most critical receiver and bolt-action drawings, and the rest of the work is hardly difficult for this group of experts. Because the required data heads have been explained very clearly, they only need to add some details in the details.

The gun technicians at the Mauser factory directly manufactured the metal parts by hand and conducted a series of mechanical tests. The results found that the design of the Führer was excellent~IndoMTL.com~ The gun machine runs extremely smoothly.

The technicians of the Mauser Factory were completely fascinated by this weapon, not only because of the design of the head of state, but also because of this automatic mode, which opened the door to a new world for them.

Besides this roller structure, can other modes be used? Can deflection locking work? Can a semi-free gun machine work? Many people began to enthusiastically devote themselves to the design of automatic weapons.

Mauser Factory tried its best to understand this advanced design, and at the same time began to build special fixtures and molds for this weapon, making preliminary preparations for the final establishment of a production line.

This weapon uses a large number of stamping parts and casting parts. There are not many parts that need manual cutting. It can be estimated that the production man-hours are quite small, and the cost is easy to grasp. Basically, it can be controlled at about 50 marks. Calculated based on the purchase price of the Mark, Mauser can get 40% of the profit. Although it does not seem to be much, it can’t hold up its large quantity. If the head of state plans to purchase 200,000 in the first batch , And the ultimate goal of the head of state is to completely replace the original Mauser rifle with this rifle. This will be a big business involving tens of millions of marks.

This rifle is only part of the Führer’s replacement plan. The Führer also developed a new submachine gun based on this locking mechanism to replace the original MP38/40 series.

This new submachine gun uses 9mm Bella Bloom bullets, has a front handguard and a retractable folding buttstock, and a curved magazine with a capacity of 30 rounds. You guessed it, this It is B31 that will scare terrorists in the future...Ah no! It should be an MP5 submachine gun.
