Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 65 What a fucking good gun!

On the second day after the brigade commander left, a total of five FM-24/29 were produced from the military factory of the Logistics Department.

According to the usual practice, this batch of weapons is tested first, and then sent to the headquarters and brigade headquarters after everything is correct.

When testing the performance of MAS-36 last time, Huang He didn't come out in his office, which made Zhang Wanhe a little bit upset.

This time he specially notified Huang He in advance and invited him, a great hero, to visit.

Huang He, who estimated that the time was about the same, came to the shooting range of the logistics department, and all the leaders of the military industrial zone had just arrived here.After greeting everyone, he saw five light machine guns to be tested today.

When it comes to Gallic chicken and light machine guns, normal people will think that I am reporting Shaosha's ID number.

But to be honest, as a weapon of country F, FM-24/29 reveals a unique taste.

Because of the torture of Shaosha, the Gallic Chicken Army urgently needed a new machine gun to treat the high blood pressure of front-line soldiers after the end of World War I.

When selecting new weapons, the scene is as lively as the World Weapons Expo.

What Vickers Berthier, Madsen, Lewis machine gun, Hotchkiss M1922 light machine gun, Browning automatic rifle, all the light machine guns with good reputation at that time were all sent over.

At that time, their high-level army took a fancy to the Browning automatic rifle, but unfortunately they did not agree on the production license at that time.

Gallic Chicken thought it over and thought it was too expensive. After all, most of the domestic financial resources were spent on repairing the Maginot Line at that time.

At this time, the inexplicable arrogance in their bones played a role again, and the top army officials decided not to steam the steamed buns to save their breath, but to do it themselves!

So in 1924, this light machine gun was officially finalized as FM-24.

As the saying goes, make a gun first make bullets.We said before that the new bullet caliber of the Gallic Chicken is 7.5x 54 mm. They made a plate of dumplings for this dish of vinegar and designed a new weapon.

But in the beginning, the length of this bullet was 57mm.

Since they seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition from the enemy after World War I, the new bullets and the enemy's 7.92x57mm ammunition have the same shell length, which is easy to confuse.

In order to avoid damage to the weapon by using the wrong size ammunition, the Gallic Chicken was reduced in length by three millimeters while maintaining the same charge.

Only then did the final version of the 54 mm, and the new light machine gun was also changed in 29 years, and finally named FM-24/29 light machine gun.

This gun looks similar to the Czech light machine gun, and the sight is also placed on the left.

It uses 25 rounds of overhead magazines to feed ammunition. This kind of ammunition feeding design can easily make comrades in the base area mistakenly think that this is another imitation of a Czech light machine gun.

After all, the little devil also imitated a Type [-]. Although it was mainly to deal with the troops on the Pacific battlefield, the troops also captured a small amount.

However, the gun is indeed a product developed by the Gallic Chicken itself, and it was born earlier than the Czech light machine gun.

The structure of this gun has many local features. For example, its rear sight can be folded, and the bipod can also be folded and fixed on both sides of the barrel. Folding this piece of Gallic chicken is extremely difficult.

Another feature is that this light machine gun does not have a carrying handle, but a thick handguard, which was still rare at the time.

Most of the mainstream light machine guns in the domestic battlefield are air-operated, and the air-cooled heat dissipation will make the machine gun very hot.

With the handguard, there is no need to worry about being ruthless when shooting from the waist, but it still lacks momentum when charging with a light machine gun.

"Zhang Dabiao (Epic-level weakened version): This machine gun cannot be carried away, it can only be carried away."

After suffering from Shaosha, this time the Gallic Chicken has learned from experience and lessons, and added a dust cover to the gun very thoughtfully.

Since this machine gun was designed a little earlier, there is an obvious problem.That is, the barrel cannot be removed quickly, so it is not suitable for sustained fire.

The teaching model promulgated by the Gallic Chicken Army recommends that continuous shooting should not exceed 400 rounds. If it exceeds, it will take 10 to 15 minutes to cool the gun and barrel.

The best shooting tactic is to fire 4 to 5 magazines and then pause before continuing to fire.

Although Zhang Wanhe is the head of the logistics department, his work is more inclined to guarantee the daily consumables needed by the troops.

Although the new machine gun produced by the military factory made him very happy, Lao Zhang was not in the battle order after all, and he could give little feedback on the test firing, so he didn't rush to get it up.

In the end, under the humility of everyone, Li Yunlong took a light machine gun and walked to the shooting position.

He was in charge of the test firing for a reason.

First of all, he used to be the head of the first-line troops and had contact with many light machine guns.

During the test firing, he can compare horizontally with other weapons currently in service in the army.

Secondly, Shaosha was also tested by him at that time. He still can't remember that feeling. Li Yunlong wanted to use new weapons to wash his mind.

After arriving at the shooting position, Li Yunlong was not in a hurry to test the gun, but spent a few minutes familiarizing himself with the new weapon.After he felt that everything was ready, he turned his head and said to everyone:

"Hey, I, Old Li, won't be polite to everyone, so please be careful!"

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Li Yunlong pulled the trigger, but the machine gun only made an empty click.

The people in charge of the military factory changed their faces in an instant. If there is a problem with the gun, their time will be wasted.

Just when everyone was about to step forward to investigate the problem, Li Yunlong suddenly touched the back of his head in embarrassment, a rare shyness appeared on this big and rough face.

"Sorry sorry, I was too excited and forgot to load the bullet."

Li Yunlong, who had not participated in the battle for three months, was very excited to see the light machine gun produced by his base.After getting the qualification for test shooting, he actually made a mistake that is rare for recruits.

Under everyone's contemptuous eyes, Director Li pressed the bullets into the magazine one by one and inserted them into the gun.

He put the FM-24/29 on the sandbag in the shooting position, put his left hand against the butt of the gun on his shoulder, and his right hand on the trigger, and stood with his legs lunged.

He adjusted his breathing, held back his excitement, and aimed at a distant target through the sight on the left.

Da da da.
Everyone looked at the distant target along the muzzle of the gun. Although the light machine gun hadn't been used for a while, Li Yunlong's shooting accuracy did not retreat.

He swayed back slightly with the recoil of the gun and fired five short bursts, the casings ejected from the right.

Li Yunlong used the remaining few bullets to experiment with the burst trigger in the double trigger.

After the first magazine was finished, he did not report his experience to everyone immediately, but pulled out the magazine and reloaded it.

Then he changed his posture, still standing back and forth with his legs lunged, but this time he moved and shot with a gun in his hand.

He held the butt of the gun close to one side of his waist, and his arms clamped the butt inward to prevent it from swinging from side to side.After aiming, the right hand pushes back and squeezes the trigger tightly, and the left hand pulls down the hand guard to prevent the muzzle from jumping up.

Li Yunlong kept his eyes on the gun target, adjusted the bullet point while shooting, and at the same time pushed forward in a standing posture with small steps.

After the waist shooting and standing shooting were all experimented, Li Yunlong tried the lying and kneeling positions with a magazine of bullets.

After firing a total of 75 rounds, he put down the light machine gun and left the shooting position with some unfinished business.

Everyone around immediately gathered around, some asked him how he felt after shooting, and some went to caress the still warm machine gun.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, the well-known cultural person in Northwest Shanxi held back for a long time and only said one sentence.

"Okay! It's a damn good gun!"

　I'm coming
