Chapter 245 Tiger Assault Rifle
At least, in Old Pershing's opinion, this rifle is extremely beautiful! It doesn't have so many complicated lines, and looks extremely neat and sturdy! But on the battlefield, beauty is bullshit, practicality and durability are fundamental!
Therefore, Old Pershing was very interested in this gun at the first sight! Then, he handed the gun to the middle-aged man beside him and said in a deep voice: "I just came to have a look, to test the gun specifically.
But if you, the minister, do it yourself. (""7*"
And sitting next to old Pershing, suddenly it was James William Goode, the current U.S. Secretary of War! At this time, Lieutenant General William Smith Ruthven, the principal of West Point, also came to the scene of the gun test.
James smiled and said to old Pershing: "General Pershing! You are the most outstanding general in our United States. In fact, it may be better for you to test than me, a layman, right?!"
Old Pershing shook his head silently after hearing James' words, and said in a deep voice: "I am already retired. According to custom, I have the right to make suggestions but not decision-making to the United States. Not to mention such a big thing as purchasing guns?! So,
Of course it cannot be me who tests the gun. It must be someone you designate as Secretary of War James."
Listening to old Pershing's words, James couldn't help but sigh that this old general was indeed an extremely rigorous person! Even his level of rigor was almost the same as that of the Germans, but this kind of rigor was what made an extremely influential old general
What is needed!
After all, in this era, if the old general abuses his influence, the president may become very troublesome. But this old man has stuck to his duties since retiring and almost never participates in national political affairs.
discussion.
At most, he will express his opinions on some foreign military figures and battles, or maybe participate in charity projects, give some suggestions to the military, etc. (《》7* But the old man has never intervened in specific affairs, so this old man
Always respected by successive American presidents!
After hearing Old Pershing's words, James understood the old man's attitude, so he nodded with a smile and handed the rifle to Lieutenant General William who came over.
Lieutenant General William solemnly gave a military salute to old Pershing and James, took the gun in his hand, then walked down and handed it to a very sturdy man wearing a US military uniform who was waiting under the stage!
After the man took the gun, William whispered something to him. Then the man took the gun, opened it and checked it, including the magazine, bolt, trigger, front sight... etc., and looked at it for a long time.
Then he took the gun and walked to the shooting stand.
This man used a half-kneeling shooting method. Looking at his posture, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but nodded. Generally speaking, people who dare to shoot in a half-kneeling position have a certain degree of confidence in their own skills!
Being able to have this kind of confidence is undoubtedly a kind of confidence cultivated by experiencing countless shootings! Then I saw this man holding the gun in silence for a while. Suddenly, I saw this man shoot out the first shot with a "Bang!"
One shot!
Then, gunshots rang out one after another on the shooting range!
"Bang! Bang bang! Bang! Bang bang..." After a while, the man had fired all the bullets in the gun. Then he slowly walked up to old Pershing and James with the gun in hand and said solemnly.
Military salute! She said in a deep voice: "Report to the commander! The third-level sergeant major David Sterling has completed the gun test!"
James couldn't help but smile after hearing David's words: "So, Mr. Sterling, Third Class Sergeant, can you tell us your experience in using this gun?! This is related to our relationship with Phil Company."
purchasing, so please be as objective and cautious as possible!”
After hearing James' words, Sterling stood at attention solemnly and said: "Yes! I will try my best to describe this gun in an objective way."
James couldn't help but nodded after hearing Sterling's words, and then indicated that he could speak. At this time, Sterling gave James and Old Pershing another military salute before placing the gun in front of them.
On the table.
Then he took apart the magazine, pointed at the front sight and said solemnly to the two of them: "First of all, the biggest problem with this gun is that the muzzle rises seriously when it is fully automatic, and the bolt frame hits the bottom of the receiver when it recoils.
, the design of its receiver cover results in short aiming baseline, unsatisfactory sight design and other defects, which greatly affects the shooting accuracy. It is difficult to shoot accurately beyond 300 meters, and the accuracy of continuous shooting is even lower."
Phil next to him heard Sterling's words and his face changed several times! He knew that this evaluation was very lethal! Once it was denied, the Secretary of War might hesitate to purchase this batch from Phil.
Rifle!
But just when he was about to say something, he was stopped by Tu Qianjun beside him! When Phil looked back, he saw Tu Qianjun smiling at him and shaking his head to indicate that he should continue listening.
At this time, Sterling continued: "However, the advantages of this gun are also obvious! Compared with our current rifles, this gun has a shorter body, lighter weight, and larger ammunition capacity, making it very suitable for single-person shooting.
It is used for carrying soldiers and fighting in close encounters. According to my experience, this gun uses a pneumatic automatic principle. The gas tube is located above the barrel, and the bolt is pushed through the piston, and the bolt is rotated and locked. And according to my experience
It can be seen that the action of this gun is reliable, and its mechanical structure can still ensure normal operation even if it is continuously fired or if foreign matter such as dust enters the gun."
As he spoke, Sterling looked at Old Pershing and James solemnly and said solemnly: "This is very important. We must know that our army may face various battlefield environments. And a reliable rifle will undoubtedly
It will ensure their chances of survival. From this point of view, this gun is better than our current rifles. Report completed!"
After listening to Sterling's words, James said to Sterling in a deep voice: "Sergeant, your words are very pertinent. But what we need to know now is whether we should purchase such firearms and equipment for the troops. This is what we want
Matters of concern, and as a fine sergeant major of the active duty force, we would like to know if you would be willing to use such a firearm on the battlefield?!"
When Sterling heard what James said, he stood at attention solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Of course! Sir! If I were on the battlefield, of course I would like to have such a gun. What is the ammunition capacity, volume, weight and reliability of this gun?
What I value extremely! In fact these are the keys to an excellent rifle!”
James couldn't help but smile after hearing Sterling's words: "Then we know what the situation is. Thank you for your work! Sergeant Sterling."
"Thank you for your compliment, sir!" Sterling said in a deep voice after standing at attention. At this time, Tu Qianjun stood up with a smile and said to James and Sterling: "In fact, what Sergeant Sterling described about this rifle is
Very accurate. But because he didn’t know the rifle very well, he still overlooked some things, such as..."
As Tu Qianjun said, he grabbed the rifle and "squeaked~" and immediately dismantled the rifle into parts! James was dumbfounded by this method, while Sterling's eyes shone! What was different from them was that
, there is a lot of admiration in old Pershing’s eyes!
"After our testing, this rifle can maintain very good performance in the extremely harsh environments we simulated, such as deserts, tropical rainforests, severe cold, etc., and its structure is simple, easy to disassemble, easy to clean and repair, and easy to operate.
." Speaking, Tu Qianjun smiled and said: "Its structure can even be disassembled by a child. It is extremely simple! It is also convenient for maintenance on the battlefield."
Having said that, Tu Qianjun continued: "Based on my experience, most of today's wars are based on encounters! And this rifle can meet the requirements of fighting at a closer range, which is mainly based on encounters.
Its shooting accuracy can meet the requirements within three hundred meters, but at longer distances, specially trained shooters and guns with improved accuracy are needed to shoot."
Sterling couldn't help but nodded after hearing Tu Qianjun's words, turned to James and said in a deep voice: "Sir, sir! I completely agree with what this gentleman said. In fact, most of our battles take place in encounters. In positional battles
Most of them are used in assault mode, so according to our combat style, this rifle fully meets our requirements."
James couldn't help but nodded after hearing Sterling's words, and then smiled at Tu Qianjun and said: "So, does this excellent rifle have a name?!"
Tu Qianjun was about to say that he didn't have a name, but he heard Phil behind him say with a smile: "Of course! How could such an excellent rifle not have a name?! We have already given it a very resounding name: Tiger Type
Assault rifle!”
Hearing Phil's words, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but be stunned! At this time, Phil walked up to Tu Qianjun and patted his shoulder. He smiled at James and said, "In fact, the young man in front of you has this rifle.
The designer. And he was also a general. He once commanded large-scale wars involving more than 10,000 men! Even in the face of an enemy whose troops and equipment were superior to his own, he still won an overwhelming victory! He completed the annihilation of an enemy division.
, a feat of severely damaging a division!"
James couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Phil's words, as if he suddenly thought of something! But then he saw Phil smiled and continued: "Because of this feat, he was called the 'Tiger of the Northeast Army' whose country was underpaid."
Nickname! And since this rifle was designed by him, our engineers and I decided to name it after him. Therefore, this gun is called: Tiger Assault Rifle!"
After listening to Phil's words, Tu Qianjun felt quite confused. Kalashnikov, how old are you now?! I didn't expect that I would snatch your rifle away...
