Larger caliber, semi-automatic or automatic loading, hit and run, fast maneuverability.

In addition, Liu Hongyi also spent a lot of time studying with Professor Chen Jiayou.

Optical physics was a new field for him, and he had no previous experience in it. Now that he had this opportunity, he naturally had to seize it.

Chen Jiayou lived up to expectations and was the first to develop an optical sight that could be installed on a 35mm automatic grenade launcher.

After actual testing, it was found that the hit rate of the 35 automatic grenade equipped with an optical sight was greatly improved when shooting directly at a distance of 400 meters.

The best gun tester at the 576 factory could only achieve a hit rate of to at best using mechanical sights. After installing optical sights, his hit rate increased to %.

For ordinary gun testers, the hit rate can be improved to about 40%.

This means that at a distance of 400 meters, two rounds from a 35mm automatic howitzer can accurately destroy a permanent fortification.

Of course, in terms of destructive power, it is still inferior to 40 fire and 82 nothing.

Moreover, there is no need to shoot the 40mm and 82mm rifles into the firing holes. Just aim at the bunker and fire. As long as they hit, the entire bunker will fly into the sky.

However, the maximum direct firing range of the 82mm ammunition is only 380 meters, and the 40mm ammunition is even closer, less than 300 meters.

This distance is completely within the effective range of the opponent's rifle.

In addition, when shooting with the 82 rifle and 40 rifle, the shooter must expose most of his body, and when aiming, he will become a sitting duck for the enemy rifleman.

It is very likely that you will be knocked down by the enemy rifleman before you even pull the trigger.

The 35 automatic grenade has a low profile and can be used while lying down when using a bipod. The area affected by bullets is much smaller than that of the 40mm and 82mm rifles, which provides great protection for the shooter.

And there is no long tail flame when it is launched, so it will not easily expose the target.

This is not the most critical.

The most important thing is weight.

Each 82mm shell weighs 6 kg, and the limit for each soldier is 4 shells.

35自动榴一发炮弹重250克,一发82无炮弹的负重,可以折抵24发35榴。

Veteran soldiers knew very well what this meant on the battlefield.

In the jungle mobile warfare, with light equipment, each person has a small cannon, plenty of shells, and the shooting is very accurate. Monkeys, tremble!

After developing the optical sight for the 35mm howitzer, Chen Jiayou improved it further at the suggestion of Liu Hongyi and developed a small optical sight suitable for the 56 semi-automatic rifle.

There is a situation that needs to be explained here, which is why Liu Hongyi attached great importance to the development and strengthening of company and platoon light weapons.

This is related to the current equipment level of our troops.

Currently, the primary light weapons used by field troops at the squad and platoon levels are still the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. Only squad leaders and deputy squad leaders are equipped with Type 56 semi-automatic rifles. Every private is armed with a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.

The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle has a long range and good accuracy, which are its advantages.

The biggest disadvantage is that the magazine capacity is small, only 10 rounds, and it can only fire single shots, with poor sustained firepower.

During jungle combat, the 56 semi-automatic rifle's advantages of long range and high precision could not be brought into play. Facing the Anlang army equipped with a large number of AK47 submachine guns, the company and platoon firepower were at a complete disadvantage and were quite vulnerable.

Liu Hongyi was very clear that at this point in time, large-scale replacement of new rifles was impossible and completely too late.

After the war broke out, the superiors only urgently allocated a batch of Type 56 assault rifles to the participating troops for emergency use, but the main equipment of the front-line troops was still Type 56 and a half.

Liu Hongyi can only try his best to strengthen the existing conditions.

The lower hanging grenade is the first hanging.

If we can’t match the AK47 in terms of continuous firepower, then we can just add more shells.

Add an under-barrel grenade launcher to each 56- rifle.

Each person has a small cannon.

The optical sight is the second mount.

Further enhance shooting accuracy.

You have more people and more firepower, right?

Then let’s shoot everyone in the head!

The next infrared night vision device to be developed is the third one.

Night combat has always been our army's magic weapon.
