Chapter 51: Gun Test

The next day, in the morning.

After the meeting, Liu Tao went to the shooting range.

Two militiamen helped hold the sniper rifles, with curiosity in their eyes.

At the shooting range, militiamen were shooting.

Liu Tao required that after the guns were manufactured, he had to try them out himself, and the militiamen needed shooting training, so it became these militiamen who helped to try out the guns.

And he only needed to conduct a unified inspection of the weapons and ammunition that were to be shipped out of the factory every day.

In order to coordinate transportation, weapons and ammunition were transported at night, daily necessities and production materials were transported in the morning, and construction materials were arranged to be transported in the afternoon.

Liu Tao picked up a sniper rifle and loaded bullets into the magazine. A magazine was loaded with 30 bullets.

He raised the gun, looked at the scope, and aimed at the target.

Soon, all the bullets in a magazine were fired.

Liu Tao glanced at the virtual panel at the corner of his eye.

[Item: Type 78 Sniper Rifle]

[Manufacturer: Liu Tao]

[Item Level: LV1 (30/10) (Upgradable)]

[Upgrade Points: 9]

[Item Status: Intact, Analyzable]

"Captain, you fired a magazine but didn't hit the target. What's the point of shooting?" A militiaman couldn't help but said.

Liu Tao's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.

Who would slap someone in the face, especially the leader's face.

Liu Tao pretended to be profound and said, "You don't understand this!"

Another militiaman said, "Ergou, why are you talking so much nonsense? The battalion commander has his reasons for doing this. If you understand, then you can develop firearms like the factory director."

"Well said, the young man is teachable!" Liu Tao looked at the militiaman with appreciation.

For the current Panshan militia camp, in addition to one hour of training every day, the rest of the time is to help build houses and repair roads.

As for training, it is arranged in the evening.

Liu Tao asked the militiaman who spoke first to load the bullets, and then tested the gun again.

Although there was no upgrade, experience was constantly accumulated, and it would be a one-time continuous upgrade.

The militiaman who was loading bullets muttered to himself, he couldn't figure out no matter how hard he tried, what was the point of Liu Tao doing this.

The bullets kept firing, but they didn't hit the target.

Isn't this a waste of bullets?

The key is that his hands were sore from loading bullets.

Finally, when the militiaman was about to curse Liu Tao's ancestors for eighteen generations, Liu Tao finally finished shooting.

Returning to the laboratory and letting the two militiamen leave, Liu Tao couldn't wait to upgrade the sniper rifle in his hand.

Swish, swish, swish~~

A series of faint lights flashed.

Soon, the faint light disappeared.

Liu Tao felt that the sniper rifle in his hand seemed to have changed, as if it had become heavier!

He put the sniper rifle on the scale, and it was indeed 0.7kg heavier than before.

Liu Tao looked at the data carefully and found that in addition to the 0.7kg increase in weight, the range was also increased to 700m.

"Analysis!" Liu Tao muttered in his heart.

Suddenly, the whole sniper rifle automatically formed a three-dimensional image, and then formed a series of electronic design drawings, complete design drawings, and also included design instructions and various process technology requirements.

Liu Tao smiled.

Next, you only need to make these design drawings into paper design drawings, and then you can start organizing trial production.

Although from the appearance, this sniper rifle is only compared with the '78-type' automatic rifle with a scope, but in fact there is still a big difference.

Otherwise, the effective range will not be increased to 700m.

Not to mention, there are still some differences inside.

Many parts can be shared, but some subtle differences need to be paid attention to, and the scope also needs to be adjusted and produced by relevant state-owned factories.

Heavy sniper rifles have very high requirements for scopes. So far, Yun Province has not been able to produce them at all, and Liu Tao has to produce them himself.

However, the scope of this sniper rifle is different, and the requirements are not so high. There are still units that can produce it, but the production process needs to be improved.

Liu Tao produced sniper rifles again according to the design drawings. This time he produced six.

These sniper rifles will be produced as test rifles.

Liu Tao began to turn the electronic design drawings into paper designs.

He only needed to complete one set of design drawings, and then there would be draftsmen to make more drawings.

In a blink of an eye, several days passed.

The design drawings had been completed, and the militia battalion had also completed the relevant test data of the test gun. Liu Tao called the Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Comrade Liu Tao, I haven't called for a while, but is there anything I can help you with?" Wang Tiezhu's voice came from the microphone.

Liu Tao smiled and said, "Leader, look at what you said, can't I call you if there is nothing to do?"

"Don't give me that, you always call for help." Wang Tiezhu said unhappily, "Hurry up and say it, I have to go to a meeting later."

Wang Tiezhu really knows Liu Tao too well.

There is nothing Liu Tao dare not do.

Wang Tiezhu often scolds him for being a spendthrift because of the speed of spending money.

"Leader, I have developed a sniper rifle based on the Type 78 automatic rifle, which is suitable for squads, platoons, and companies. Now I am applying for the acceptance of the expert team organized by the superior." Liu Tao said.

After Liu Tao said this, Wang Tiezhu understood.

After all, the military had installed a scope on the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle to use as a sniper rifle.

"How is the performance?" Wang Tiezhu asked impatiently.

Wang Tiezhu didn't even need to ask about the cost. Since it was modified into a sniper rifle based on the '78-type' automatic rifle, the cost must not be too high.

"The effective range is 700 meters and the maximum range is 950m." Liu Tao said.

Wang Tiezhu was delighted: "Okay, okay, wait for my news, I will arrange a review meeting."

Wang Tiezhu is also in the industry, and he knows what this means.

He didn't expect that Panshan Machinery Factory was busy with production and construction, and Liu Tao could still do research and develop such a sniper rifle suitable for the troops.

In a sense, this sniper rifle is even better than a heavy sniper rifle.

After all, the '78-type' heavy sniper rifle is powerful, but both the gun and the bullet are very expensive.

This is still half-sold and half-given by Panshan Machinery Factory to support the troops. If it is purchased at the Iraqi price, the troops can't afford it at all.

Even if it is half-sold and half-given, the troops still feel the pain.

Now, with this sniper rifle, sniper rifles can even reach the squad level.

This will significantly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

With an automatic rifle, 100 bullets may not kill a person, but with a sniper rifle, maybe one or two bullets can kill a person, which will have a stronger psychological deterrence on the enemy.

Besides, the training cost of a sniper rifle shooter is much lower than that of a heavy sniper rifle shooter.

Wang Tiezhu immediately thought of the benefits of this sniper rifle for improving the combat effectiveness of the troops.

If it wasn't for the fact that it was night and he had to go to a meeting, Wang Tiezhu couldn't wait to rush to Panshan Machinery Factory to see this sniper rifle with his own eyes.
