Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

A new sky appeared.

The camera slowly moves forward through the smoke of war.

The cold metallic light of a rifle was faintly visible in the firelight.

The rough wooden stock was pockmarked with bullet marks.

The soldier's muddy hands tightly grasped the gun, and the sparks that burst out when the trigger was pulled instantly illuminated the entire scene.

Suddenly the camera zooms out!

Countless AKs filled the entire screen like a steel forest.

Tianmu's commentary also slowly sounded amid the sound of bullets being loaded:

[It is the god of death on the battlefield. ]

[It is the totem of the guerrillas.]

【It is the currency of the third world. 】

【It is the most deadly industrial artwork of the 20th century. 】

[It may be the most classic killing tool in human history. ]

【It is the AK-47 assault rifle. 】

[Some people say that there are as many AKs on earth as there are stars in the sky. ]

[Since it was officially equipped in the Soviet army, the AK series of automatic rifles has started the journey of large-scale mass production. 】

[In addition to the Soviet army's own use, large-scale aid was also provided to Warsaw Pact countries.]

[At the same time, due to its excellent performance and reliable design, it has been copied by many countries. ]

[According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 100 million AK series rifles and their derivative models in the world. ]

[It has traveled from the Cold War to the Vietnam War, and from modern warfare to the vision of future warfare. In the humid rainforest or dark tunnels, the AK-47 has always been a trusted partner of many people. ]

[So, what is the charm of this gun that makes it a legend among firearms? ]

[It was born in 1947, and its designer was Lieutenant Kalashnikov of the Soviet Red Army. ]

【But its story is much more than just a design drawing. 】

[November 1919, 11, shortly after the First World War ended. ]

[In an ordinary peasant family in the Altai Territory of Soviet Russia, a baby boy was born. He was Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov.]

[No one expected that the masterpiece created by this child in the future would have a profound impact on the history of human warfare.]

[Kalashnikov has had a special liking for toys such as guns since he was a child. 】

[In 1938, at the age of 19, he enlisted in the army and served in Kiev.]

[After joining the army, his passion for mechanical technology remained undiminished. After completing all training courses, the company commander recommended him to participate in the ordnance technician technical training course.]

[In the summer of 1939, Kalashnikov was sent to the Tank Driving Academy.]

[After graduation, he served in the 12th Armored Division.]

【After the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, he followed the troops to the front line. 】

[In a battle in October 1941, he was seriously injured as a training tank commander and was sent to the hospital for treatment.]

[While recuperating in the hospital, he heard other wounded soldiers complain that Soviet weapons were inferior to German ones.]

[After being discharged from the hospital, he began to devote himself to gun design. ]

[At first, he designed a submachine gun and brought this prototype gun with him, ready to compete with the PPSh and other firearms at the time. ]

[Obviously, Bobosha is not a vegetarian either.]

[As a classic Soviet submachine gun, Kalashnikov's work failed in subsequent shooting range tests. ]

[Although the test failed, his talent for gun design attracted the attention of his superiors. ]

[He was then assigned to work at the shooting range.]

[In 1946, Kalashnikov had an opportunity to change his destiny.]

[At that time, the Soviet army urgently needed a new assault rifle to cope with the complex and changing battlefield environment. ]

[Kalashnikov seized this opportunity and devoted himself to the design of the new gun.]

[He drew on the lessons learned from previous designs, and after countless attempts and improvements, he finally successfully designed the AK-1947 automatic rifle in 47. ]

[It was officially equipped to Soviet troops in 1949. ]

Barrage:

"Hardcore ruthless man: Karanishkov!"

"An engineer who served in the military has now joined Tongliao Universe. "

"The person who invented the AK47 is a genius."

"Don't mention it, he is really a genius." "At that time, Soviet military experts and gun test officers all said that Kalashnikov was a genius."

"As a child, Karanishkov liked to tinker with guns as his children's toys."

"Hardcore Russian toys, huh?"

"Even when he was injured and recuperating, he was able to design a world-famous gun. This is the strength of the boss."

"The old man lived until 2013. He lived a long life."

"Perhaps his weapons have saved too many people, and his merits are immeasurable."

……

[The design of AK-47 is a classic. ]

[It adopts the gas-operated automatic principle and the bolt is locked by rotary locking. ]

【This design makes the bolt action reliable. 】

[Even during continuous shooting, or when dust or other foreign matter enters the gun, its mechanical structure can still ensure normal operation. ]

[In extremely harsh environments such as deserts, tropical rainforests, and severe cold, the AK-47 assault rifle can maintain quite good performance. ]

[Moreover, the gun has a simple structure, is easy to disassemble, clean and repair, and is relatively inexpensive. ]

[Its barrel is screwed to the receiver, the rifling part is 369 mm long and is chrome-plated.]

[This allows for stable shooting performance in both high and low temperature conditions.]

[The receiver is machined from forgings and is strong and durable. ]

[Magazines are made of steel or light metal and are interchangeable in all weather conditions.]

【AK-47使用M43式7.62毫米中间型枪弹，口径7.62毫米，初速710米/秒。】

[Effective range: 300 meters, muzzle energy: 1980 joules. ]

【Theoretical firing rate: 600 rounds per minute.】

[The ammunition is fed by a magazine with a capacity of 30 rounds. ]

[Compared to World War II-era rifles, the AK-47 has a shorter barrel and a shorter range.]

[But it has strong firepower and is suitable for close-range assault operations. ]

[Its appearance has changed the traditional infantry combat mode, allowing soldiers to have more powerful firepower support in close combat. ]

[However, the AK-47 is not perfect. ]

[Its biggest drawback is that the muzzle rises severely when firing in full-automatic mode, which greatly affects the shooting accuracy.]

[Especially at 300 meters, it is difficult to hit the target accurately.]

[Burst fire has lower accuracy. ]

[Moreover, compared with small-caliber rifles, the AK-47 system is heavier, making it more difficult for soldiers to carry it for a long time.]

[In addition, the design of the receiver cover results in a short aiming baseline, and the sights are not ideal. ]

[Despite these shortcomings, this has not affected the AK-47 from becoming a classic. ]

Outside the sky.

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng was very concerned about the production and manufacturing of military equipment and visited the Qin Arsenal many times.

Seeing this, he showed an expression of appreciation and nodded.

"Yes, this Kalashnikov of the future Soviet Union is indeed an excellent craftsman."

"Although I don't quite understand the many production standards of the AK47 introduced on the sky curtain."

"But just from the information and pictures provided by Tianmu, it can be seen that this weapon is definitely an excellent weapon."

“No wonder it was specially introduced by Tianmu.”

"Alas, it's a pity that the current industrial strength of the Qin Dynasty cannot reach the high level of the future generations."

"Otherwise, I think Daqin could learn from the production concept of AK47."

"Let Daqin's military industry be upgraded to a higher level."

And next to Ying Zheng.

Fusu also said with some regret:

"Yes, we know that the Soviet Union in later generations was an industrial power and an industrial power."

"Perhaps it is only in such a top industrial country."

"Only then can we forge a magical weapon like the AK47." (End of this chapter)
