MTL - Super Craftsman-Chapter 983 Have a baby (Part 1)

Twenty barrels were placed vertically in the box, which was specifically requested by Guo Tailai, and had not been tipped down during transportation. These barrels include the currently used sniper rifles and assault rifles, all of which have been made by Guo Tailai before. However, unlike ordinary barrels, the outside of these barrels can clearly see the dense carbon fiber wrapped around them.

"Barrels wrapped with properly labeled carbon fiber can greatly improve the firing accuracy, durability and shooting life of the firearm." Guo Tailai picked up a hand and showed it to everyone: "The carbon fiber barrel can ensure the stress state of the barrel. Consistent with a variety of different temperature ranges, weight loss can be achieved without sacrificing firearm performance."

The main structure of the carbon fiber barrel is still stainless steel, only a part of the middle of the barrel is cut off, and then the carbon fiber is wound by a special process, so that the main body can withstand the same bore pressure of the ordinary barrel. In addition to its light weight, another advantage of the carbon fiber barrel is that it can isolate the outside temperature and reduce the impact of sun exposure on the shooting accuracy.

Compared with the traditional steel barrel, the weight of the carbon fiber barrel is 20%-65% lighter, and can improve the heat dissipation performance, thereby reducing the temperature of the barrel and extending its service life. In addition, it can also reduce the vibration of the gun and effectively Improve performance on various indicators.

"Of course, weight loss will definitely bring about changes in recoil." Guo Tailai said pragmatically: "At present, I can't determine which firearms will perform better after weight loss, and which will perform worse, so these are all done. Some more, let the testers test again and again."

After listening patiently to Guo Tailai's explanation, everyone was pleasantly surprised. Although Guo Tai said that it may bring about changes in recoil, as long as it is not the huge recoil of the large-caliber bullet, the recoil of ordinary bullets actually has little effect. But if this brings about an increase in various indicators, it would be a big surprise.

What's more, even large-caliber firearms must be very heavy, which can reduce the weight of large-caliber firearms on a large scale. This was originally an exciting change!

"If the performance of the firearms is barely visible..." Guo Tailai paused a little, attracting everyone's eyes before continuing: "Then it may be used on the barrel."

Used on the barrel? If the weight of the barrel can be reduced by 50% and the performance remains unchanged, what will be the result? General Chu and General Sun were already a little trembling with excitement.

Why do the heavy artillery of all countries want to find ways to lose weight? In order to be more convenient in transportation, if it can reach the point where it can be directly dropped by helicopter, it is really too convenient in combat. However, due to technical and material limitations, heavy weapons sometimes cannot be reduced in weight.

According to Guo Tai, if the use of carbon fiber can really perform better in strength and life, then as long as the weight of the barrel is reduced, the other parts can also be reduced. The lighter the lighter, the easier it is to deploy, the lower the logistical pressure, the better the maneuverability, and the easier it is to get a head start in operations. This technology is of great significance!

Although as the fat man said, lighter weight will definitely bring about changes in recoil, but these can be overcome, especially for the cannon, there are various ways to fix it on the ground, not just rely on the barrel and The weight of the gun body resists recoil.

"The most obvious shortcoming." Guo Tailai finally concluded: "Expensive! With more production technology and materials, the cost will definitely rise, there is no doubt. But how the specific production cost drops, depends on the production process and production scale of carbon fiber, And the scale of the orders for these barrels. If the domestic troops can’t afford the equipment, or they can consider selling them to those gun lovers and collectors abroad, it is certainly no problem to recover the cost."

The advantages and disadvantages are almost insignificant. Don't look at the fat guy now only taking out a few barrels, and laughingly saying that it is for the promotion of carbon fiber, but these are really going to be successful, it is absolutely significant. The barrel is already in front of me, will the barrel still be far away?

As for cost, when China really wants large-scale application, is the cost still a problem?

The barrel is standard and can be used directly after replacing it. Everyone has tested it. There is no difficulty in using it. As long as it adapts to the weight of the new barrel, everything will be fine. However, it is obvious that some soldiers who use a full steel barrel with a better gun feel are still a little awkward to use the new barrel, but this is only a habit problem. It is necessary to train for more time to fully recover the gun feeling.

When everyone sat together in General Sun's office, it was already two hours later. The two generals were still very excited and did not calm down because they returned to the office.

After receiving the infantry chariot from the Spring Festival, General Chu knew that Guo Tailai would rarely play in the car afterwards. Similarly, there will not be much interest in army equipment, and may occasionally come to Xingzhi to play, but it is unlikely to concentrate on researching one. But today I received two pieces of equipment, or the same equipment with a new material technology reference, all related to the Army, so excited.

"Thank you, fat!" The wrinkles on the face of General Sun came out. After moving from Guo Tailai to Gusu, every new equipment was tested by people from the Northwest Base. It has been a long time since the Beijing Military Region tested. This time Actually got this benefit. There are only five sniper rifles. Except for Zhao Yanyan, the others are definitely left to be tested in the Beijing Military Region.

A sniper rifle that can shoot 0.1moa! It is estimated that other military regions will go crazy if they know that, hahaha, it's so cool.

General Chu is even happier. It is a trivial matter in which military region the sniper rifle will be used. The key is the carbon fiber barrels, which may even develop into barrels in addition to the barrels. Weight reduction of equipment is a key issue for all military equipment designers, and now suddenly there is a feasible idea. Both tanks and heavy artillery can be referenced, and even naval guns and fighter aircraft guns can be considered. The navy, army and air force can bring an excellent research direction for improvement!

Not to mention that there is no fear of carbon fiber being stuck in the country at present. Originally, several models of carbon fiber production technology of Zhengfang Technology have been put into production, and now there are two new models of production technology. It is simply a match! Before this counted, Guo Tailai tried carbon fiber and super aluminum alloy on the Bao ship, and only after a period of time to return to Hong Kong for overhaul, the actual application effect can be detected in stages.

The fat man is still the fat man after all!

"Fat!" General Chu faced Guo Tailai very seriously and thanked with a smile: "Thank you for your gift!"
