Chapter 218 The first appearance of the large-caliber sniper rifle

Lei Jun walked up to observe carefully, but he didn't get the gun.Because the testers will not and cannot hand over the test firearms in their hands to the hands of others.One is for safety, not only the safety of personnel but also the safety of firearms.The second is to ensure the accuracy of the test data, a gun, only its users are more familiar with it, and what the tester has to do is to feel the slight difference after firing each bullet, and then use this The difference is fed back to the design maker, so that they can adjust and modify the design by giving home data.After handing it over to him, there will undoubtedly be gaps in this sense of experience, which is not conducive to the collection and organization of data.

The testers here also stopped designing after seeing Jiang Chen and the others, got up and stood up, waiting for Jiang Chen's instructions.Jiang Chen ignored Lei Jun and asked the technician next to him about the condition of the firearm: "How is the progress now?"

Wang Hongyi, one of the testers on the side, smiled at Jiang Chen: "Now the entire gun model has been released, and now it's time to attack the barrel."

"Is there any progress?" Jiang Chen asked.

Wang Hongyi shook his head and said: "The progress is very slow. The barrels we produce have a very short lifespan. Basically, the barrels will be destroyed after firing one or two hundred rounds."

"I remember that some time ago, the material laboratory developed and trial-produced a kind of remelted steel. Why can't this work?" Jiang Chen frowned and asked.

Wang Hongyi was a little discouraged and said: "It still doesn't work. Although this steel is better than the gun barrel steel we used before, it still can't meet our design requirements."

"Where is the main difficulty, have you figured it out?" Jiang Chen asked.

Wang Hongyi explained: "The main reason is that the formula of the steel has not been mastered well. The strength of the steel is high, and its toughness is reduced. Therefore, when firing bullets, it is easy to have problems such as cracks or fractures. The toughness of the steel has reached , but its strength is reduced, causing you to fire a few rounds, the temperature of the barrel will rise, causing the barrel to deform, calmly losing accuracy, and more seriously, it may explode the chamber.”

"Well, that's a problem. But it's not urgent. Didn't we get some firearms from abroad through special channels? Pick a few from the general manager and send them to the material laboratory. Let them study and analyze them to see if they can learn from them. Take a moment." Jiang Chen thought for a while and replied.This special channel is naturally through Jiang Chen's old acquaintance, Deputy Director Yu, but Jiang Chen Jiang Chen also paid a considerable price, that is to help them develop and produce a batch of special equipment.These special equipments are all used in their line of work, and Jiang Chen and the others are required to keep them strictly confidential.So apart from Jiang Chen being able to produce a batch for them, it is impossible to sell them, so they are basically at a loss.Everyone knows that the sale of this military product is not only to calculate its own value, but also to look at the cost of its early research and development.Jiang Chen only charged the cost of production for the special equipment that Jiang Chen helped Deputy Director Yu produce, but not the cost of the early stage development.

Wang Hongyi paused for a moment and then said with some distress: "These are good guns. Wouldn't it be a waste to let them take them and cut them up for research? After all, they cost tens of thousands of dollars."

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said, "I can't bear the fact that children can't catch wolves. The necessary investment is still needed. Don't feel bad, we will develop more advanced weapons than them sooner or later."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Wang Hongyi nodded.

"Okay, keep busy, let's go." Jiang Chen said to everyone with a smile and then called Lei Jun, "Let's go, we still have business to do."

Lei Jun hurriedly said: "Don't, I'm here, let me have a good time."

Seeing Lei Jun begging for nothing, Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and said, "This is what they used for testing. That gun can't be moved. If you want to play with it, you can play with the guns on the shooting range over there."

"Don't." Lei Jun grabbed Jiang Chen and said, "I've seen those guys before, it's boring, just let me play with this."

Seeing Jiang Chen's embarrassment, Wang Hongyi smiled and said, "We still have a spare sample gun, which can give this comrade a good time."

"real".Lei Jun said excitedly.

Seeing that Lei Jun was thinking of his mischievous child's joy after seeing a toy, Jiang Chen couldn't refuse, so he took a breath and said, "Let's play, let's talk about it first, just one magazine, after we finish playing just go."

Seeing that Lei Jun promised Jiang Chen and nodded to Wang Hongyi, Wang Hongyi ran to the house next to the testing ground, took out a gun case, walked towards Jiang Chen and the others, and put it on the long table beside him.Lei Jun couldn't wait to open it, and put a sniper rifle and some parts on the milky-yellow sponge cushion.Lei Jun has also used the firearms produced by Jiang Chen, so he is familiar with the installation of accessories on the rails, and soon a 12.7mm large-caliber sniper rifle was installed.

After receiving a full magazine from a tester, Lei Jun took the gun and came to the position specially built for the test.This is a relatively high platform. A layer of sandbags is stacked at the front, and a cushion for people to lie down is placed behind the sandbags.Lei Jun put the gun on the sandbag, then he lay down and tilted the gun, loaded a full magazine, and then held the gun against his shoulder and pulled the bolt to start aiming.

Boom!With a gunshot, a cloud of dust rose from the test site.Jiang Chen hurriedly picked up the binoculars to observe Lei Jun's shooting results, but he didn't expect that the targets in the distance were still alive. Because he was testing a large-caliber sniper rifle, the original paper targets would be useless, otherwise a single bullet would It can make a gun target fall apart. Some steel targets were used in the test here. Of course, there are some gasoline barrels directly farther away. If you can shoot an oil barrel at a distance of more than 1000 meters, then this person's marksmanship is also very powerful.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Where did you hit, you missed the target."

Lei Jun was a little embarrassed and said: "Hehe, I'm not used to this gun just now." After speaking, he held his breath and began to aim seriously. He didn't move for a long time. Just as everyone was waiting a little anxiously, Lei Jun shot. up.A shot was fired with a bang, and everyone began to check the results one after another.While Jiang Chen was looking for the target, someone suddenly shouted, "We hit the target, 1200 meters, gasoline barrel."

Jiang Chen adjusted his binoculars and began to look there, and found that the gasoline barrel over there had been hit with a large hole by a 12.7mm bullet, and the water in the oil barrel, probably rainwater, began to flow out.Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, the sword is not old yet."

"Haha, of course." Lei Jun said proudly.Then Lei Jun fired all the bullets in the gun, and left reluctantly.Of course, according to his temperament, he still wanted to play for a while, but under Jiang Chen's insistence, he had no choice but to follow Jiang Chen and leave after ten steps.
