21. The Birth of a Behemoth (14)
PS: Guess the small theater
Li Lin: Yesterday's winner was only one [RPG-16] brother, congratulations!
Nidhogg: Today's question 1.What is the prototype of the new Elven rifle, what is its full name?What is the prototype of the 2.107mm rocket launcher? (hint: it's all about the mad bunny.) Everyone, hurry up!
It was an extremely brutal selection competition.
The participants are all kinds of earth firearms from the beginning of the Cold War to the 21st century, and only one of them can stand out of the encirclement and become the standard equipment of the elves.
The number of various firearms was adjusted out, and before the official competition began, the rifles of 5.56mm\5.45mm\5.8mm - these three calibers were the first to go out.
Reason for elimination: insufficient power.
Speaking of which, this is really wronged by these small-caliber rifles, originally because they are easy to roll and shatter to form a cavity of muscle tissue, they should be regarded as [high-powered rifle bullets]. But it was a design based on the soft physical characteristics of modern people, and in the face of individual green-skinned orc races, it was better to have small-caliber rifles on the sidelines.
After the start of the knockout round, the first round was eliminated by Stg44, HK.G3, and Fenghe 64.
The world's first assault rifle itself was an emergency work with a real nature, and it was an immature work with various technical problems, so it was not considered, and the G3 and 64 were heavy, slow to fire, and had a high failure rate. What's even worse is that the designers of the two defeated countries don't know if they have completed the synchronization of their hearts in the years when the foundation is burning, and they actually coincidentally equipped these two guns with cheating bipods...... It is very suspicious that these designers simply wanted a sniper rifle.
The next to enter the road of elimination are FN.FAL and M14, the former has a good performance, but the 20 rounds of ammunition is too much to cheat out, and the latter is the M1 [Garand] automatic rifle version because of the problems conceived by the Elven Defense Force - complex maintenance, uncontrollable bursts, too heavy weight, etc.
In fact, Li Lin also has a consideration, these two guns are the products of the idea of destroying the opponent's infantry with the support of tanks. The emphasis is on medium and long-range precision shooting, the continuous firing performance is not good, and the overly complex structure is also prone to adverse effects on the adjustment of the production line.
The final competition is the famous [Guerrilla Warfare Artifact], [King of Angels] - AK47 and AKM assault rifle. and their cousin of East Asian descent, the eighty-one bar, who was born as a transitional weapon. All three are cheap guns designed for the combat conditions of large mechanized corps, and their reliability is very good. In the end, after some trade-offs, Li Lin fell in love with the [Bayi Bar], which has excellent process economy and better accuracy during continuous firing.
At present, the test firing on the shooting range is a copycat of various styles such as wooden butt structure and metal folding support. Tyr was attempting a long burst shot with a tactical rail version of an automatic rifle, and after a quick and dull burst of gunfire, a member of the technical team fetched the target paper. Looking at the target paper that was shot 300 meters away, and the bullet holes were still relatively concentrated, the chief of staff of the General Staff nodded indifferently, it seemed that this toy was quite satisfactory to him.
After the military bigwigs had experienced the new guns in turn, without waiting for them to finish exchanging their feelings, Messerschmidt, who had a hurry, stretched out his hand to another improvised shed:
"Gentlemen, please come this way. ”
He doesn't need to explain. The sharp-eyed Li Lin already knew that there was a god horse thing over there.
12 short, thick round pipes arranged in a square, with wheels for mules, horses or wagons to pull and tow under the tubes......
The oversimplification, even the crude appearance, concealed the true power of this [guerrilla warfare artifact], and listening carefully to the eloquent talk of the project leader Auguste Hugo, the officers gradually showed a look of excitement.
“...... Although at the moment we have only made a full-scale model. But we are sure that the combat weight of the real thing is controlled within 700 kilograms, and the general carriage or two or three infantry can move around with this cannon, and its range can reach about 8,000 meters, and a salvo can be completed in 7~9 seconds, and all 12 rockets can be launched. The entire artillery crew only needs 5 people, and the time to enter the combat state only needs ......"
For the elven officers, these numbers were tempting. After it was determined that the army would develop in the direction of mechanization and heavy firepower, the artillery that could quickly maneuver was very much to their appetite. Although mortars meet this demand in a certain way, the military is somewhat dissatisfied with the limitations of range and power.
The military craves thicker, longer tubes so that its artillery can show their opponents a magic horse called a professional artillery, carried by infantry, and mortars with a caliber of up to 120mm obviously cannot meet this requirement.
This 107 rocket launcher is not only small and exquisite, but also easy to maneuver quickly. In addition to having enough ferocious firepower, the CD time for firing the cannon is also short enough. Not only can it be used to call out stragglers, but it can also be used for point defense, bombarding enemy infantry groups, and the range of 8,000 meters is more than twice that of mortars......
“...... This kind of rocket artillery with a simple mechanism can be camouflaged and transported after disassembly, and it is not clear to the specialized personnel what the tubes are used for, or how to assemble them. ”
A few mechanics quickly restored the model to the state of the parts, and then packed it into a wooden box with the words "Agricultural Equipment" written on the outside......
The perfect special operations tool.
Throwing the word "discipline" aside, the eyes of the officers lit up at the thought of it. There is no more tangible and effective heavy firepower for special forces to carry out sabotage work within human cities. The dismantled rocket launchers can easily pass the test and assemble them in the city, and then it is time to exert their power.
Just when the officers were thinking about it, Hugo's senior technician sprinkled a basin of cold water:
"At present, the development of the cannon body has been launched, but due to the influence of the [Panzer.faust] individual rocket project, the progress of the 107 rocket is still at the paper stage......"
"It's okay, take it one step at a time. I'll make additional grants for you. ”
Li Lin saw through Hugo's trick of asking for money at a glance, but he didn't blame this monster who was obsessed with rocket artillery, but generously solved their financial problem. The mechanics who had been struggling with the funds were moved to tears almost on the spot.
And that's just the beginning.
Next, four self-propelled anti-aircraft guns with 20mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, assault guns with 380mm mortars, and 280mm caliber long-barreled train guns, all of which were still in the conceptual model stage, were also examined one by one, and after being inquired by Li Lin about technical aspects, they were also promised grants.
The Archon's unprecedented generosity surprised the officers who accompanied him, and only a core member like Tyre knew that this was nothing more than preparation for Charlemagne's Yellow Plan for the future [Final Solution]...... (To be continued.) )
