Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 149: Developing a CQB Simulation Paintball Gun – Aiming for a First-Class Merit! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The second day's lesson was on the CARs shooting system, which was extremely difficult to practice. There were many different techniques to learn, and it would be hard to complete them in a short time.

So for the next three days, Jackie Chan spent practicing the CARs shooting system.

The indoor classes in the morning remained unchanged, continuing with tactical language.

During this period, he practiced repeatedly to improve his skills. Jackie Chan had plenty of free time, and thinking about the subsequent training sessions, he specially drew a set of design drawings.

Design drawings for the CQB simulated Easter egg gun!

The content is divided into two parts: weapon and bullet design drawings.

To recreate the real battlefield situation as much as possible, the weapon uses the Type 95 rifle as a template, and its overall mechanical structure is exactly the same as the Type 95.

Only the bolt and barrel need a few minor adjustments.

First, the originally centrally located bolt firing pin was adjusted to be offset upwards from the center point, shifting it two millimeters to the side.

The bullets are designed as special simulated paintballs.

It also uses the standard 5.8mm specification, but the position of the spark plug on the base has been changed.

The large dot that was originally located in the center of the base has been changed to an outer ring around the perimeter of the base, leaving the center empty.

The area of ​​the base, except for the center point, can be hit by the gun needle and fire the bullet.

This allows it to perfectly match the gun needle that has been tilted to the side, forming a complete set, so that the simulated paintballs can be effectively fired when they enter the chamber.

The main reason for making this small change is for safety.

Although this design change may seem insignificant, it can actually save the lives of many soldiers and prevent accidental killings caused by loading the wrong bullet.

Because after such modifications, the sparks of normal bullets are all in the center, making it impossible to fire with a paintball gun.

Even if the wrong bullet is loaded, no accident will occur.

Secondly, the rifling inside the barrel is removed, so the bullet doesn't need to spin during its flight.

By eliminating the centrifugal force generated by the bullet's rotation, the bullet's material strength can be reduced, making it "softer" and causing less damage when it hits the body.

Paintball guns only need to mark the body; they don't need to be lethal.

Jackie Chan's second change to bullets, which is also the most fundamental core of paintball guns—how to make paintballs fire from a real gun.

Jackie Chan made two designs.

The first method involves pressing dry powder into a bullet, then wrapping it with a layer of plastic for protection. This reduces the amount of propellant in the cartridge case, lowering the kinetic energy to less than 10 joules.

It's similar to the force of a slingshot; it will definitely hurt a little, but it won't cause injury.

The range can be even longer!

However, if you are wearing clothing and goggles to protect your eyes, the bullet will not be able to penetrate your skin, at most leaving a red mark, and there will be no danger.

The second method involves filling semi-solidified pigment into a bullet-shaped plastic shell.

Similarly, reducing the amount of propellant will result in lower lethality and a relatively shorter firing range.

Jackie Chan has design drawings for the projectiles of both types of paintballs.

As long as Yuan Lang can help deliver it to the military industrial unit, they can decide which type to produce themselves; the main thing is to produce whatever is best for them.

Paintball guns and paintballs are standard equipment in CQB (Combat Battle). They are essential training tools for achieving good training results.

Simulated paintballs have the feel of firing a gun, and when they hit the body, they leave marks, but they don't cause physical harm, although they do cause noticeable pain.

Although the amount of propellant is greatly reduced, the bullet's muzzle velocity and range will be significantly reduced as a result.

However, indoor training distances are all within 10 meters. As long as the effective range of the bullet is 10 meters, it can meet the normal training requirements.

Therefore, Jackie Chan's design will not have any major problems in terms of "power".

Jackie Chan spent three days completing all the work, handing over the design drawings, principles, and site information to Yuan Lang.

Tell him to take these blueprints and go to the captain to find a way to get a batch of paintball guns.

And it was emphasized.

Paintball guns are very important in the upcoming team CQB practice and S·T course training, so you must find a way to get them.

Yuan Lang looked at the drawings Jackie Chan had made, along with the explanations of their purpose and intent.

I'm amazed by Jackie Chan's genius once again.

He could sense that this thing was very useful and would definitely be promoted for use throughout the entire army in the future.

However, he also knew that the research and development process for weapons to be produced and used was very complicated and required a lot of experiments as a basis.

Don't underestimate these few small changes; it's normal for them to take a year or two to complete.

Jackie Chan's CQB paintball gun is a completely new product that cannot be purchased not only domestically but also internationally.

In other countries, there are only paintball guns used in video games, the kind that use high-pressure gas to shoot paintballs out.

It utilizes the principle of an air gun.

A paintball gun with the shape of a real standard weapon, fired with gunpowder, and with a perfect firing feel, is completely blank.

There are no precedents internationally or domestically, so extensive testing and verification will definitely be required before production can be completed.

After all, replica guns are meant to be used against our own soldiers, and many soldiers will be using them in the future. Even if the probability of error is one in 100,000, it would still be a terrible outcome.

Knowing the difficulty of its production, Yuan Lang could only ask tentatively, "Can't we use a simulation device for the exercise?"

"No!"

Jackie Chan immediately refused, explaining, "The exercise equipment is triggered by lasers, and the receiver range is too wide, so we have no idea where it hits."

In CQB operations, details matter, and a single detail can mean the difference between life and death, so it is essential to know the exact location where a bullet hits.

Furthermore, since there's no tactile feedback when the laser device hits, the experience isn't just bad, it's downright awful.

"I know what you're saying, but the actual situation might be a bit complicated. I believe your paintball gun can definitely be promoted throughout the army, but the production of all firearms is strictly regulated, and our training cycle is only three months, so there isn't enough time," Yuan Lang said, frowning.

"Oh, I see. That's troublesome..."

What should be a simple matter becomes complicated once it's brought up to the national level. Jackie Chan felt a bit of a headache and thought for a while before saying, "How about we send it to the repair shop first and let them practice on it a few times?"

I'm sure there are a lot of experts in the repair shop. Give them a few steel pipes and they can make a gun by hand. Modifying the bolt should be a piece of cake.

The manufacturing process of bullets is also very simple. They can definitely make them as long as they make a mold, it's just that the production speed is a little slower.

Manufacturing bullets by hand is very slow, but we need them urgently, so this is the only way we can make do for now.

The repair shop is a magical place. Hand-making all kinds of gun parts is a piece of cake for them, and modifying guns is as easy as drinking water for them.

"Yeah, going to the repair shop would definitely work. Why didn't I think of that before?"

Yuan Lang was also excited when he heard this, and said, "Our A Brigade has its own repair shop, and all the repairmen are veterans transferred from the repair shops below. The person in charge, Lao Li, is from the military academy. Their skills are all top-notch."

I'll show them the design drawings right now and have them modify them accordingly, to see if they can finish building it before the Killing House is completed.

"It'll definitely work. Trust our repair shop's expert hand-crafting specialists, haha," Jackie Chan laughed.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Yuan Lang couldn't wait any longer and left in a few quick steps.

Less than an hour later, Yuan Lang returned happily and told Jackie Chan, "It's all done. Old Li really has some skills."

After seeing your design drawings, he immediately said that your paintball gun design was a genius.

This not only indicates that with such detailed blueprints, at least five paintball guns can definitely be produced within 20 days, along with more than 1000 paintball rounds.

He also stated that he would personally recommend the paintball gun to the military industrial institute of the military region so that it could be put into production as soon as possible.

If this project actually goes into production, you'll probably get a first-class merit award. If your pilot reform succeeds, the responsibilities you're carrying will likely change.

It's clear that Yuan Lang is genuinely happy for Jackie Chan, and there's no jealousy involved.

"My promotion is a done deal. I've already received two third-class merits, but I haven't submitted an application yet. Whether I get a first-class merit or not is secondary. If I can get promoted to a higher rank or something, I'll be a little excited, haha," Jackie Chan said half-jokingly.

"Skip a level? You wish," Yuan Lang laughed and scolded.

"Wu Zhe is already a major at 23. I'm also 23 this year. I don't want to go straight to major, but I think it's feasible to become a captain or something."

Jackie Chan continues to boast and brag.

Anyway, my relationship with Yuan Lang is already very good, so I'm not worried that he'll go around saying things that don't belong to him.

"Promotion usually starts from second lieutenant. You only got a first-class merit, so it's unlikely you'll jump two ranks to captain. But getting to lieutenant shouldn't be a problem. Shall I congratulate you in advance? Lieutenant, haha," Yuan Lang laughed.

"Stop, let's forget about it. It would be so embarrassing if we ended up as second lieutenants," Jackie Chan said, waving his hand.

"Don't worry, once the reform pilot training is over, you can write your application for promotion, and I'll personally deliver it for you. Just wait to become a lieutenant officer," Yuan Lang said confidently.

"Okay, thanks in advance."

Jackie Chan thanked him and then said, "We're learning a new gun-handling technique this afternoon, Captain. Would you like to learn it with me?"

"Never mind, I have something to do. Let's talk about it tonight."

As the squadron leader, Yuan Lang still had some pride, so he strode away after saying that.

Jackie Chan spent the whole morning working on the paintball guns, while the trainees were all put to study in the multimedia classroom. Fortunately, the results went relatively smoothly.

I checked my watch and it was only 11 o'clock, which was just the right time.

Jackie Chan took the pre-printed test papers to the multimedia classroom, distributed one to each person, and began testing their knowledge of tactical language.

There are only 50 questions in total, each worth two points, and the exam lasts for half an hour.

They also announced the point deduction rules.

考试100分不扣积分，99到80扣2分，79到60扣4分，60以下扣6分。

The trainees have been learning for five days now and have no idea how many points they have lost. There is only a little over a week left before some people are eliminated, and everyone is filled with anxiety.

Hearing that they wouldn't lose points as long as they got 100, everyone got incredibly excited and started working hard.

Only if no points are deducted.

That way, you can maximize your chances of staying.

PS:

Brothers, let's all vote for monthly tickets at the end of the month!

Apple is now updating 10,000 words a day. Although he's already gone bald from staying up so much, he still wants to give it a shot and see if he can break his own record.

The previous record was 2100 monthly passes.

Asking for monthly votes empty-handed is definitely not going to work, so Apple added an extra chapter.

An extra chapter will be added for every 300 monthly votes. The chapter must be over 3000 words. We currently have 1742 monthly votes.

The possibility of receiving a tip is very low, but I'll just say it casually.

The leader of the alliance will receive an additional 5 chapters.

Anyway, it won't happen, haha.
