There is no doubt that the M1 is a rifle with excellent performance, but it is not without drawbacks, such as the length is inferior to the Japanese Type 38, and even with the addition of a bayonet, it is a lot shorter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, it is not advantageous when it comes to stabbing.

Also, when it empties the bullet in the magazine, it will make a hollow sound, which not only reminds the user to reload the bullet finger, but also reminds the opponent that the enemy opposite the opponent has run out of bullets and needs to change bullets.

This disadvantage is not obvious in positional warfare, because the violent explosion and the long distance will basically drown out the sound.

But in the case of street fighting, close combat, which does not seem to be too big, may become a disadvantage of self-naming.

Of course, to make up for this shortcoming, it is actually very simple, and you can even design a very clever trapping tactic, that is, two soldiers cooperate, one deliberately empty the magazine, making an empty sound, to induce the other party to think that he is changing bullets, and at this time the other soldier suddenly shoots with a gun, and the opponent who wants to take advantage of the loophole will naturally suffer.

But its advantages are also obvious, the rate of fire is fast, one magazine of eight bullets, and the Japanese Type 38 can form a powerful individual fire suppression.

And this rifle is also easy to disassemble and clean, which is a good choice for Chinese soldiers whose quality is not high.

If it is too complicated, it is a big problem to maintain, and in combat, simple and effective is also a necessary consideration, the gun is not a toy for some people's technical maniacs, but a killing weapon on the battlefield.

If its purpose is turned upside down, no matter how advanced and good the performance is, it is just a beautiful toy.

Leng Feng was sure at first glance that this was the classic M1 in his memory, although for him, this gun was also of the antique level.

But in the "Black Sun" group, there are several rifles that you like when it comes to training and learning rifles, and the M1 is one of them.

The swarthy barrel, the walnut butt, the grain is clear, revealing a sense of layering, it looks very beautiful, canvas straps, special magazines and magazine bags.

The gun is also numbered, XX00000001, and this is the first gun produced by the final design.

As soon as Leng Feng got started, he was a little in love, although the gun was made by Lao Ning and them, and the credit cannot be erased, but in the process of design, he also participated in the whole process.

In particular, the requirements for the development of a rifle and the technical parameters were drawn up by him personally.

The early design, as well as the modification in the middle and late stages to the decision to produce the prototype gun, he paid attention to the whole process, although he had all the design parameters of this rifle and the derivative model in his head, but he did not directly give Lao Ning a drawing and let them follow the production.

Instead, he constantly guided Lao Ning and other designers to know how to design and manufacture a good gun, and only when they learned it themselves, they would not need to interfere too much in the future.

The intelligence of the Chinese is not that they cannot design good guns, but sometimes they do not have that condition, and there is a fixed mindset and so on.

Leng Feng wants a skilled design team, and even hopes that a world-famous firearm design master can be born here.

And he just wants to be a guide, the things in his brain can be taken out, but he can't rely on them, he needs to have his own things.

Maybe something unprecedented will be born.

Leng Feng was too familiar with this gun, as soon as he stretched out his hand, his hands danced like butterflies, and the speed was dizzying, and in less than thirty seconds, he dismantled it into a pile of parts, so fast that everyone present was stunned and stunned.

Even the best gunsmith in 601 would have to take at least a minute or two to completely dismantle the gun, and that would have to be done if he was familiar with the structure of the gun.

Most people get this gun for the first time, and they can't dismantle it in less than ten minutes.

Of course, this is not the first time that the people of the 601 Institute have seen Leng Feng's special skills, basically all the guns in his hands can be disassembled in an extreme time.

It doesn't matter what kind of gun, even if it's a gun that many people have never seen before.

As a good firearms designer, it is natural to understand every gun produced in this world, the war has prompted the development of weapons, since World War I, no one can know how many kinds of rifles developed in the world, some have become classic guns, and some have failed to develop, but it is not without reference significance.

Therefore, Leng Feng often pays attention to the collection of some guns, in China, except for those made in the laboratory, which do not appear on the market, basically all guns can be found.

Leng Feng has disassembled and assembled each gun by himself, which can be regarded as one of his personal hobbies.

"Yes, this bending member is made by hand, right?"

"The military seat is really a good eye, this bending component is indeed handmade, our existing machine can not be formed at one time, can only be formed by the method in hand, little by little knock molding, it took a lot of effort."

"That's not good, we developed a rifle, not to put it up in the gun museum in the future, but to produce it for soldiers." Leng Feng said, "What equipment do you need, make a list, if you don't have it in China, we will buy it abroad." ”

"Large-scale stamping equipment, as well as planers, milling machines, ......"

"Military seat, the most difficult to solve the barrel material and annealing process, the domestic steel is simply not enough for our design marking, and the barrel we use now is the original material imported from Germany, and now it is no longer available."

"Can we produce our own special steel pipes?"

"No, technically." Said a delicate materials researcher.

"In addition to Germany, what other countries can buy the special steel we need?"

"The United States, France and Britain can do it, the level of steelmaking in Soviet Russia is worse, but it is much stronger than ours, it really can't work, and Soviet Russia can do it too."

"Then give it all a try and see who sells it to us."

Everything is difficult at the beginning, you are poor and white, you can only beg grandpa, sue grandma, what else can you do, some things, rich people may not sell you to you.

"Lao Ning, I think so, you hand over the follow-up work to the people below, bring a few people who understand ordnance production, and go abroad to investigate." Leng Feng thought for a while, he must have his own arsenal, instead of being controlled by others all the time.

"Junza, are you going to buy a rifle production line?"

"That's right, it's okay to be one generation behind, the key is the whole production line, pick the most suitable for ourselves." Leng Feng nodded.

"Okay, I'll pick people first, but where are we going to build a factory?"

"I'll handle the construction of the factory, your goal is to get me a complete production line back, and with a little modification, we can produce rifles of our own design, that's the key, understand?"

"You can rest assured of this, Lao Ning and I know it." Lao Ning's heart was on fire. Heat. Hot, he is responsible for this.

This old Jiang has promised to give himself a piece of land, but he is still coordinated, although the place he wants is relatively desolate, at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan.

The Sichuan side is very easy to handle, because of the relationship with Sun Zhen, and when Leng Feng was in Teng County, he desperately rescued the trapped Sichuan army, and then helped many times, and the relationship between the two teams was very good.

There is nothing wrong with sending a few desolate mountains out, not to mention, this is also an opportunity to establish good relations with the New First Army.

If the Central Army wanted to enter Sichuan, those generals in Sichuan would rather lead the troops with Leng Feng, but they also knew that this was impossible.

But Leng Feng wants such a place, obviously wanting to make a nest, or keep a backhand, what does this mean, I don't know if I don't say it.

Although on the battlefield in Xuzhou, the new 38th Division helped the 60th Army a lot, but the friendship did not reach that point, and the situation in southwest Yunnan was more complicated, and Wang Longquan in the southwest of the southwest was more repulsive of foreign forces.

Of course, when it comes to the point where his lips are cold and his teeth are cold, it is difficult for him not to let go.

In the future, the arsenal and the aircraft factory will definitely be placed in the rear of the Southwest, and Leng Feng is very clear about this.

If it weren't for the recovery of Xinxiang this time, Leng Feng wouldn't want to move the 601 Institute over, mainly because it is not large now, it is easy to move, and it is more reassuring to put it by his side.

Western Suburbs Shooting Range.

Leng Feng personally tested the gun, and the excellent performance of the M1 really lived up to expectations, of course, the shortcomings were also confirmed, and it was true that after hitting a magazine, there would be an empty sound, but Leng Feng didn't mention it, and everyone didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Lao Xie, will you try it too?"

"Good!"

Chief of Staff Xie Jiyuan saw that he was surprised, and he also went over, and emptied a magazine, and after the shot, his eyes lit up, and he was full of praise for this gun.

However, this "No. 1" gun must have been collected by Leng Feng, and no one can compete with him.

One after another, people came forward to test the gun and experience the charm of a newly made semi-automatic rifle, and even Zhou Xue and Zhao Feiyan tried one by themselves.

"Commander, after our discussions, we have decided to name this gun the 'Front' rifle." Lao Ning said solemnly.

"Isn't it named after me?" Leng Feng was a little surprised, he had never thought that one day he would name a rifle after himself.

"Military seats, this is named after the gunsmith of the rifle, which is an international practice."

"But I'm not the designer of this rifle?"

"Why are you not the designer of this rifle, if this rifle were not under your guidance, we would not have been able to design such an excellent rifle, you are the well-deserved designer of this rifle." Lao Ning knew very well that the real designer of this rifle should be Leng Feng, and he and his design team just carried out the intention of Leng Feng's design and manufactured it.

"This is not very good, I am a general with troops, and it is really not suitable to name a rifle."

"Military seat, there is a precedent for this, isn't the Zhongzheng rifle named after the chairman?" Adjutant Guo Weiquan inserted. Come in and say.

"Can I compare myself to the chairman?"

"But the chairman only provided some suggestions for improving the gun, and you were involved in the design of the whole process, why can't you name a rifle?"

"Don't shirk it, Commander, otherwise, what else can we name this rifle after?"

"You don't need a person's name, you can also use another name, such as a fire dragon or something?"

"Military seat, the fire dragon can be a code name, but the name still has to be officially taken!"

"Guoguang, don't shirk it, I don't want to have such an honor." Xie Jiyuan also persuaded Leng Feng to accept it.

This is an affirmation of the designer, and it is also a great honor.

Leng Feng thought about it, what Xie Jiyuan said made some sense, there are some things, the more you shirk, the more you can't push it off, do you have to be pretentious and stick to some things, so he readily agreed.

The "Edge" semi-automatic rifle was officially named, but before it could be finalized for production, it still needed to be tested in various aspects, and more prototypes would be manufactured.

The work was carried out according to the procedure, and there were basically no major problems.

The problem is the output and cost, now to make a "Front" semi-automatic rifle, at least ten medium formal rifles, the future will further reduce the cost of production, of course, the final cost will still be higher than the medium formal.

After all, this is a semi-automatic rifle with excellent performance, which cannot be compared with the manual rifle of the medium form.

Nearly a thousand rounds were fired in a row, except for the barrel being a little hot, there was little change in other aspects, and the strength of the components, as well as the design accuracy, were maintained at a high level, except for the human factor.

Gun testing is not only about testing the performance of the gun, but also collecting the user's feelings about the gun as the next step of improvement and adjustment.

For example, the design of the butt used to be done by others, and it was done by oneself, but the shape and requirements of the butt have changed depending on the user, especially the different races.

Just like a person with a big hand and a person with a small hand use the same pistol, the feeling will be different, and the length of the fingers will also affect the use, etc.

This is a rifle designed for the Chinese, of course, all data must be based on the Chinese.

However, for this gun, everyone who has used it basically has a very high opinion of it, but those who are used to using the Type 38 rifle feel a lot heavier as soon as they get started.

Indeed, the "Front" semi-automatic rifle weighs nearly one and a half pounds more than the Type 38, and if you add the bayonet, it weighs nearly five kilograms.

There is also ammunition, the "front" is a 7.62 mm caliber bullet, if you carry the same bullet, it will also increase part of the load.

Of course, these equate to its excellent performance and combat effectiveness, which is nothing.

After the shooting range test, Leng Feng went to the 601 Institute to give praise to the technical personnel involved in the development and manufacturing, of which Lao Ning directly rewarded 1,000 legal currency, and the rest of the scientific research personnel and workers involved in the development of the "Feng" rifle were given an additional reward of 100 to 300 legal currency according to the size of their contributions.

Leng Feng rewarded the "Feng" rifle development team, and the "Killer" No. 1 rocket development team was not happy, and the team leader Zhou Xue personally came over and talked to him about the theory.

In the end, Leng Feng had no choice but to level the bowl of water, and at the same time give a reward to the bazooka development team, many of the two teams are actually crossed.

Of course, each person can only receive one reward.
