"Well, just treat it like I'm talking too much." Major General Karls made a helpless gesture, and then left.

"Well, can the BAR machine gun be changed?" Marshall asked John Browning after the German left. "This firepower continuity is really bad. And I have always been worried about this issue. In fact, those guys now like BAR because of its lighter weight. Before they are on the battlefield, they will never be important to firepower continuity. You have a deep understanding of sex."

Holding light, this is definitely the biggest advantage of an infantry weapon in peacetime... After all infantry? Now it is still a two-legged unit. Without fighting, are you willing to carry a BAR weighing 7.2KG or a MG general machine gun weighing 12KG? Definitely lean towards the former! After all, there is no need to go to the battlefield.

Major General Marshall has been to the front line for inspections. He can see many German soldiers on the battlefield, especially German soldiers on assault missions, making frantic improvements to their weapons in order to increase the load of ammunition! For example, a Mauser rifle with a 20-round magazine and a Luger long-barreled pistol with a drum.

Even the MG machine gun, which was originally good for firepower, was improved. Without the ammunition chain, the MG machine gun used 50 rounds of drums, but the German assault squad soldiers thought that the 50 rounds of drums were too small. , So in the war, the German side specially equipped the machine gunner with a special saddle-shaped drum with a loading capacity of up to 75 rounds. (MG34 and the like were also worthy in this history.) In short, countless facts tell Major General Marshall that it is not a bad thing to load more bullets if the soldier can support his physical strength.

"The German drums are really good, and we have considered them, but the drums are more difficult to maintain. As you know, the drums use coil springs. Even before the war, the springs of the drums must be adjusted every time they are loaded. Elasticity, I am very worried about the reliability of this drum in the Pacific War environment." Browning thought for a while and said.

What he said is true. Drums are indeed more complicated. In history, many of the sand submachine guns used in the late Soviet Union in World War 2 used magazines because drums were too troublesome.

"Well, I am not a specialized technician. I can't make a decision on this issue lightly. But I will report it to General Pershing. I will mention the German delegation's question on the sweep and ammunition capacity of the BAR machine gun. "Marshall said. He is not a technical officer, and he is not a first-line player. Therefore, in this respect, he can definitely say that he will not win Browning, and now BAR is indeed very popular with front-line officers and soldiers. Therefore, for him, the best way Just write a report first. Once something goes wrong in the future, this report may be useful.

"Okay, I will find a way to solve this problem. It's all for the US Army." Browning said sternly. Afterwards, Browning did make a series of improvements to the BAR machine gun. For example, in order to increase the stability of prone shooting, he added a bipod to the front of the machine gun. In order to improve the continuity of firepower, he equipped the machine gun with 40 rounds of magazines (in this history, BAR did have 40 rounds of magazines, but it was completely withdrawn in 1927.) However, after some improvements, BAR’s The weight has increased to nearly 9KG....... As for the US Army personnel's grievances about the use of magazines for light machine guns in actual combat, that is something to say, so I won't mention it for now.

As for the American Browning heavy machine gun, how do you say this, although the weight is a bit heavy, even if air-cooled heat dissipation is used, the weight of the Browning machine gun is still 14KG. The weight of the gun frame is 6 kg. It is convenient to replace the barrel and the German MG machine gun, but the advantage is the stability. The Americans used the water-cooled Browning machine gun to fire 20,000 rounds in 48 minutes without any occurrence. Failure, simply speaking of this performance is very good.

Although it is definitely not as good as the German MG series machine gun in use, it is also a weapon that can give 85 points. For this small gap, the US Army will not care too much. In addition to making up for the temporary shortage of weapon production and equipping special forces, it will not purchase a large number of German MG series machine guns to enrich the US military. In fact, such things as infantry weapons do not mean that foreign countries have better equipment. Take the rifle as an example. In World War I, the German Mauser rifle was not as easy to use as the British Li En. However, after World War II, Germany still uses Mauser's descendants, which is still not as good as Li En... Some things can't be said.

Does the American light weapons make the Germans feel refreshed? There must be, for example, the M1A1 carbine that only appeared in the second war in history, but now suddenly popped out is an example. To some extent, the M1A1 carbine using 7.62MM*33MM carbine ammunition can barely be regarded as an assault rifle.

"The weight of this weapon is very good, and the center of gravity is well designed." Major General Karls picked up a carbine. The **** of this gun is not wooden, but a foldable metal **** with 15 rounds and 30 rounds. After sending out two magazines and shooting several bursts by opening and closing the butt, the major general was full of praise for this weapon.

"A very good weapon~lightnovelpub.net~ The firepower is comparable to a submachine gun, but it weighs less than 3 kg, is equipped with a folding butt, and the length of the gun is moderate. And the effective range of this weapon is better than The submachine gun is still far away, the recoil is not strong, and the stability is very good. Very good medium and short range combat weapon." Major General Kars hardly found any shortcomings.

"If possible, I hope that in the future the German Army will be able to equip a large number of such weapons." Major General Karls said to Admiral Calipute next to him. Afterwards, Major General Karls, who was already familiar with this weapon, picked up the carbine in his hand and shot a magazine out of a target 150 meters away.

"Well, it's really good. At this distance, the accuracy is far better than our submachine gun. If the British were also equipped with this weapon during the war, we might have to die tens of thousands more." General Calipute said.

"The key is the choice of bullets. This is a kind of bullet between rifle and pistol bullets. It takes into account the relationship between power and weight. In fact, in most cases, more than 95% of the rifle is At the time, I was shooting an enemy within 400 meters. The bullet of the rifle can still penetrate the human body effectively at 800 meters. This requirement is actually a bit high. And the impact of the excessive power of the bullet is not only the weight of the ammunition but also the recoil. Think about it, when the BAR machine gun was hand-held and fired, the accuracy was still a problem even if it relied on the 7 kg gun god. This carbine is less than 3 kg, but the recoil is very small.” Major General Karls Analysis Road.
