9.155 Rifle Controversy

"Are the Soviet goods you are equipped with really better than the German-style equipment?"

After chatting with Lu Sanqiang, Gao Lantian turned the topic to weapons and equipment. Hearing Gao Lantian www.biquge.info's question, Lu Sanqiang smiled at Gao Lantian, then turned his head and shouted into the depths of the trench: "Feng Bald!" Grab the Zeg Galev light machine gun! ”

Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and rifles are the most popular weapons in the Army. In the eyes of Chinese officers who prefer German-style weapons, these three weapons should be based on the German-made 7.92mm Type 08 Maxim heavy machine gun, the Type 24 heavy machine gun, the Czech light machine gun, and the Mauser 1898 "Hanyang-made" rifle. In the 99th Army, which is equipped with Soviet-style weapons, these three weapons are the Maxim M1910 heavy machine gun, the Deg Galev light machine gun and the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle.

Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle Lu Sanqiang had in his hands, and there was also a Maxim M1910 heavy machine gun outside the battalion headquarters as a fire barrier, so he only needed to ask someone to find a Zeg Galev light machine gun.

"It's coming! Camp, is there another little devil who doesn't have long eyes showing his head? ”

The second lieutenant officer called Feng Bald by Lu Sanqiang was a platoon commander of the 4th Battalion, and he was in his 30s, so he got this nickname. In the past, Feng Baldzi's favorite was the Czech light machine gun, but after the 188th Division was replaced with the Degegarev light machine gun, his preferences changed.

"You kid, you know about war all day long, so I can't look for you for anything else?"

Lu Sanqiang first made a gesture to kick Feng Bald, and then stepped forward and snatched the Degegalev light machine gun from Feng Bald's hand, and then turned to Gao Lantian and said, "There is no need to compare anything else, just look at this light machine gun......

Gao Lantian felt that Lu Sanqiang's words were a bit big, why didn't he have to compare? It sounds like saying that "German-style weapons" are not in the mainstream at all, which is completely unacceptable to Gao Lantian, a supporter of "German weapons".

"Battalion Commander Lu, look at what you said, this is not a competition, it's just an exchange, and you're afraid of hurting the harmony? In this case, let's start with what we have at hand, Battalion Commander Zhou, bring a rifle and ......"

Seeing that Zhou Shichun, the commander of the 2nd battalion, took off the rifle from his shoulder and handed it to Gao Lantian, Lu Sanqiang didn't want to say anything, he casually picked a soldier with a rifle on his back, and then ordered the other party to take off the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle and hand it to Gao Lantian.

Gao Lantian first put both rifles on the ground and began to look at them, and after a while, he picked up the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle and began to test the gun.

The prototype of these new Hanyang-made rifles obtained by the 55th Army from the 99th Army was the German M1898 Mauser rifle, the M1898 Mauser rifle used 7.92 x 57mm ammunition, and the design known as the "Model 98" was a major achievement in the history of firearms in the world. By order of the Emperor of Prussia, this weapon was adopted as standard equipment for all German armies, designated the Mauser Type 1898 rifle. Since then, the M1898 Mauser rifle has officially entered the historical stage.

Although the M1898 Mauser is a very successful design and is considered a classic, it still has some shortcomings due to its old model of the last century, otherwise the German army would not have improved the M1898 Mauser to the M1924 standard Mauser.

The Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle used by the 99th Army is the latest product of the Soviet military industry, and it is a very unfair thing to compare the two types of rifles with a difference of more than 20 years!

The prototype of the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle was the M1891 Mosin Nagant rifle, developed in the late 1880s and early 1890s on behalf of the Russian government, with a 7.62 x 54mm cartridge, known in Russia as the "Vintovka Mosina".

The original M1891 Mosin Nagant rifle was available in three models: including an infantry rifle, a dragoon rifle, and a Cossack rifle. Among them, the infantry rifle is the standard long rifle, and the last two are the cavalry rifles issued for the use of cavalry units.

After entering the Soviet era, the Mosin Nagant rifle underwent a major improvement. In 1924, the Soviet military factory began to improve the M1891 rifle based on the Dragoon rifle, and the finished product was named the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle, which is the rifle that the 99th Army is now equipped with.

The Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle, produced by Tula and Izhevsk, is the same length as the M1891 dragoon rifle and shorter than the basic M1891 rifle. The main improvements of the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 compared to the M1891 are the installation of new sights and the addition of a separate casing ram, while in other respects, the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 is essentially the same as the M1891.

The Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle was nicknamed 'Water Lianzhu' in China because of its crisp sound of gunfire like water droplets. Compared to the Mauser rifle, the design of the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle appears to be somewhat rough and outdated, and the overall handling feel is also clumsier than that of the Mauser rifle. But the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle also has its advantages, that is, it is easy to produce and easy to use, simple and reliable. And these electricity are extremely important for the Chinese army, which has a low industrial base and a low level of education of soldiers!

Gao Lantian is a veteran who has played with guns for half his life, and as soon as he got started, he quickly discovered that the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle surpassed the imitation M1898 Hanyang-made rifle.

First of all, since the imitation M1898 Hanyang-made rifle uses a 7.92 mm caliber, while the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle uses a 7.62 mm caliber, the recoil of the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle is smaller, and it is more suitable for Chinese soldiers with generally low shooting skills.

Secondly, the handguard and bayonet mount of the imitation M1898 Hanyang-made rifle have 3 barrel hoops, while the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle has only 1, so the shooting accuracy of the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle is better.

In order to make the bolt easy to remove, the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle also deliberately uses the same downward curved pull handle as the Mauser standard rifle, which is the embodiment of the superb craftsmanship of the Soviet military industry.

In addition to the Hanyang-made rifles produced by the Wuhan Arsenal, there are many imitation M1898 Hanyang-made rifles that are from small arsenals and even military repair institutes. Due to the great differences in the standard parts used in different places, sometimes the imitation M1898 Hanyang-made rifle from different origins cannot even be used for ammunition and parts! In terms of production technology, Hanyang-made rifles are really a big loss!

The model is backward, the manufacturing process is backward, these two shortcomings are absolutely fatal! So in this round of competition, Hanyang-made rifles were completely defeated!
