The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 73 Anti-aircraft Machine Gun (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

In preparation for the expert group's acceptance, Liu Tao prepared 300 grenades of various types.

Enough to complete all tests.

As for those who assisted in the testing, there were naturally special forces from the Wolf Warrior Squad, who were also there to familiarize themselves with the weapons.

Next month, the Wolf Warrior Squad will leave Panshan Machinery Factory and go to the front line for actual combat training. Both weapons will be equipped to the Wolf Warrior Squad for actual combat testing.

Whether a weapon is good or not cannot be determined by testing it at a shooting range, but rather by experiencing the baptism of war and the test of the complex battlefield environment.

Some good weapons, even if they have been equipped to the troops for decades, may not be very advanced, but they are very useful on the battlefield.

Liu Tao is very confident in the rifle grenades and sniper grenade launchers he developed. After all, this is the peak that China's materials and manufacturing technology can reach after the item upgrade system was upgraded to its limit.

Even if Panshan Machinery Factory wants to start production, it has to go through a two- to three-month run-in period and gradually become familiar with the process before it can start small-batch production.

The expert group left Panshan Machinery Factory with Liu Tao's design materials. Liu Tao began to organize workers to familiarize themselves with the production process and conduct trial production.

Rifle grenades are easy to make, but the difficulty of making a sniper grenade rifle has skyrocketed. It looks similar to a heavy sniper rifle, but one uses bullets and the other uses grenades. This change is a big one.

What's more, these are all carried out by different workers.

During the day, Liu Tao teaches workers how to produce rifle grenades and sniper grenade launchers. At night, he goes to a production workshop, which temporarily serves as his laboratory.

At this time, there was a Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun in the production workshop.

This is an anti-aircraft machine gun produced by Panshan Machinery Factory in the past.

The Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun was a Chinese imitation of the Soviet DShK machine gun. It was finalized in 1954 and equipped to the troops in large quantities.

It can be said that the most commonly equipped anti-aircraft machine gun in the army is the Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun.

This anti-aircraft machine gun has a caliber of 12.7 mm, a total length of 2328 mm, a gun body length of 1342 mm, an aiming baseline length of 1113 mm, a total weight of 93 kg, a gun body weight of 33 kg, a gun mount weight of 55 kg, an initial velocity of 830-850 m/s, a theoretical rate of fire of 540-600 rounds/min, a combat rate of fire of 80 rounds/min, an effective range of 1600 meters for anti-aircraft fire and 1500 meters for horizontal fire, a magazine capacity of 70 rounds, and uses 54 bullets of 12.7*108 mm.

Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns are naturally relatively backward weapons compared to rocket launchers and missiles.

However, even after another three or four decades, anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns have not withdrawn from the stage of history and are still equipped in large quantities in the troops. One very important reason for this is that the operating costs of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns are lower than those of rocket launchers and missiles!
Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns are naturally useless against high-altitude aircraft.

However, when it comes to low-flying objects, the power of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns becomes apparent.

For example, helicopters can be very powerful when equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns!
Besides, on the battlefield, when air defense is not needed, anti-aircraft machine guns can be used for direct firing, and their power is even more terrifying than that of heavy machine guns.

"This Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun is really ugly!" Liu Tao couldn't help but complain.

This is an old Type 54 heavy machine gun, weighing 127.5 kg.

There is no doubt that it is an extremely heavy giant.

Of course, China has made many improvements to this anti-aircraft machine gun, removing the heat sink on the original barrel, adding a handle to the barrel to facilitate barrel replacement, redesigning the light tripod, removing the shield and two wheels, and reducing the weight from 127.5 kg to 53 kg. The improved version is named Type 65 anti-aircraft machine gun!
Liu Tao began to dismantle the machine, removing the parts one by one.

He then reassembled the anti-aircraft machine gun.

After repeating this five times, with the help of the system, Liu Tao has completely mastered this anti-aircraft machine gun.

He placed his hand on the anti-aircraft machine gun and looked at the virtual panel:
[Item: 54 anti-aircraft machine gun]

【Manufacturer: Deng Huang】

[Item Level: LV1 (0/10) (Cannot be upgraded)]

[Upgrade Points: 50]

[Item status: intact, analyzable]

Liu Tao did not choose to analyze it, because the drawings of the Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun were available at the Panshan Machinery Factory, and there were special workers at the Panshan Machinery Factory who produced the Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun.

Liu Tao went to the other side and saw the boxes there, which were exactly the parts of the Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun.

He began to assemble it quickly. Liu Tao, who was already thoroughly familiar with the Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun, assembled the gun very quickly.

Half an hour is enough to assemble a Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun.

It took Liu Tao three hours to assemble six Type 54 anti-aircraft machine guns.

He casually placed his hand on a Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun, and a virtual panel appeared.

[Item: 54 anti-aircraft machine gun] [Manufacturer: Liu Tao]

[Item Level: LV1 (0/10)]

[Upgrade Points: 350]

[Item status: intact, analyzable]

I looked at the time and it was already one in the morning.

Liu Tao stretched, moved his body, turned off the lights, then closed the door and left the production workshop.

Driving a jeep, Liu Tao returned to his home.

The huge villa was empty, with only Liu Tao there.

Sometimes, Liu Tao wondered whether he should find a partner so that there would be a mistress in the family.

But he would think that women would only slow down his speed in drawing his gun.

If there is no woman in your mind, you will be a god when you draw your gun.

I took a bath to cleanse the distracting thoughts from my mind.

Half an hour later, after his hair was dry, Liu Tao fell asleep.

The next morning, Liu Tao called his driver and gave him some instructions. The driver then drove the jeep away from Panshan Machinery Factory and headed for Kun City.

Liu Tao brought the militia to the production workshop and pushed a Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun to the shooting range.

At the shooting range, Liu Tao aimed at the target in front.

"Da da da~~"

Anti-aircraft machine guns were spitting flames.

You can see a ball of fire in front of the muzzle, and bullets are flying out at high speed, hitting the reinforced concrete fortifications 1500 meters ahead.

A magazine was quickly used up.

Looking at the virtual panel again, the data has changed:
[Item: 54 anti-aircraft machine gun]

【Manufacturer: Liu Tao】

[Item Level: LV1 (70/10) (Upgradable)]

[Upgrade Points: 350]

[Item status: intact, analyzable]

"System, upgrade! Upgrade the range!" Liu Tao said silently in his heart.

shuh~~
The anti-aircraft machine guns seemed to emit a faint glow.

Liu Tao only felt that the anti-aircraft machine gun seemed to have changed, but also seemed to have not changed at all.

Just look at the virtual panel again. Through the data of the virtual panel, you can see that the range has increased from 1600 meters for high-altitude shooting to 2000 meters, and the range of 1500 meters for horizontal shooting has increased to 1900 meters.

It can be said that the performance of the gun has been greatly improved just from the perspective of range.

Remove the magazine and replace it with a full magazine.

"Da da da~~"

The flames spewed out again, and Liu Tao discovered that the range of the bullet had indeed become longer.

However, corresponding problems arise, that is, the recoil becomes much larger, the barrel becomes unstable, and the accuracy drops significantly.

That's how the gun works, one move affects the whole body.
