My German Empire

Most of the Western countries after World War II did not develop a mid-strength bomb similar to the Soviet Union 7.62X39mm (Switzerland has been 7.65x35mm in the 1920s; Germany, Germany, 7.75x39 / 40mm; Czech, 7.62x45mm, British 7 × 43mm, but these are not popular); NATO's model of highlights of 5.56x45mm, 7.62x51mm, 9x19mm, 12.7x99mm; in addition to their own equipment, such as the US point 45 (11.45mm) pistol, Germany 4.6x30mm ammunition, etc.

The 7.62x39mmm43 bomb research was established in the late Second World War, and the official column was after the end of World War II. At that time, the middle power rifle bomb is a trend. It also has a large number of 7.92x33mmkurz bombs in Germany in World War II for STG44 assault rifle; but it is only 7.62x39mmm43 bomb.

There is a reasonable design of the M43 rifle in the overall design, and there is also a great influence of the Soviet Union.

In the historical environment at the time, the full-scale size of the M43 in the middle of the M43 in the middle of the M43 in the middle power rifle bomb, the M43 is still significantly reduced compared to the various powerful rifles in World War II, and the M43 power rifle bomb, the weight is significantly reduced, which is advantageous to improve the ammunition Carrying the quantity; after shooting, the sitting force is significantly reduced, the power of the warhead is enough to meet the battle within 400m distance, and even the sound of the fire is smaller than the automatic rifle of the big powerful rifle, which is conducive to carrying forward in the near distance.

As for the NATO why there is no popularity of the middle power bomb, it has to start from the end of the World War.

After the end of the World War, I quickly entered the Cold War of the East and Western, and Western countries established the Northern Atlantic Convention Organization. In order to save military construction costs, the standardization of logistics materials, the NATO should formulate a lightweight ammunition standard, select a NATO standard rifle So I launched a noisy big tear.

Although the British of European old imperialism is greatly hurt, but they don't want to recommend themselves. 280-inch (7 × 43mm) middle power rifle. It should be said that the basic design of this bomb is still very good, the ballistic performance is better than the Soviet 7.62x39mmm43 rifle, and the flame is relatively small.

But the United States, as the NATO, is trying to oppose the middle power rifle.

In the Second World War II, the US military was fully equipped with M1 Glandard half-automatic rifle. The infantry team was arrogant. Because it was early, it took advantage of it, it is very conservative, and the attitude towards the light weapon is very conservative, and it is very perfect. Up to 20 rounds, add a new hair function, it is enough; ammunition, 30-06 rifle (7.62 × 63mm) is also very good, up to slightly shortened the length of the housing, become a little bit, just line!

To this end, the United States directly has a T44 test rifle and T65 rifle. The basic structure of T44 is very similar to M1 Glander. It can be seen as shortening of Mangui, increasing 20 rounds and linking functions, and ultimately develops M14 rifles we are well known; and T65 rifles The design is also very conservative, which is a shortened 30-06 rifle, shorten the length of the shell from 63mm to 51mm, and there is still 848m / s at the initial speed. It is still a traditional big power rifle.

After a few years, the final result is that the United States rely on huge influence in the Western countries, T65 rifles are set to NATO standard rifle, which is the 7.62x51mmnato rifle; British is full of time (mainly the party government ), But finally considering the way in the Western Allies, giving up the .280-inch rifle, also modified 7.62x51mmnato rifle,

At that time, the three rifles of the NATO countries - US M14 rifle, Belgium FN FAL rifle, Sidide G3 rifles use this caliber, and there is an excessive sitting force, and even if there is a problem, it is difficult to manipulate, so the United States large part of M14 simply Using a quick slow lock, the single-in-one choice lever is locked, and the L1A1 in the UK (the FAL rifle produced by the UK) also canceled the hair and only one shot.

Such a tossing consequence is that the firing density of the infantry class is small compared to the Second World War II (although the Metric version of FAL and Side's G3 retains the function, because the 7.62x51mm is too large, it is difficult to manipulate the short shot. It is very un practical, and for the United States, it is almost not improved with the M14 of the semi-automatic state, almost no improvement), the infantry detachment light weapon system is obviously behind the Soviet Union.

During the 1960s, the US military uses the full power rifle M14 in the jungle by the intermediate rifle, and I have been replaced, I haven't fully prepared M16, even if I finally became a difference in reliability . However, after modification of M16A1, the small caliber trend instantly crimped the intermediate rifle, and a rifle small diameter of a rifle in the army of the world.

Because of all the advantages of M43 in the middle of the power rifle, small-diameter rifles have, and even beyond M43 bombs.

1. On the weight and volume, the small diameter rifle is lighter, the volume is smaller, and the volume is greater.

2, post-secondary, small-diameter rifle shoots after the shooting force smaller, even the shooting muzzle beat smaller, more stable.

And the small-diameter rifle also has a lot of advantages that M43 rifles are not in the M43 rifle, which is more flat than the M43 in the middle power rifle, lower, the risk of the warhead is larger; the high-speed flight warhead hits the human body more easily. The warhead is broken or rolled, and the release energy is more sufficient, and the injury is more effective.

Yaki also wants to directly jump to the small-diameter rifle, the small diameter rifle has a large diameter of the tube and the machining accuracy is high, the bullet is high and the gun is wear, which is greatly improved the processing of the barrel. Technical difficulty in technology and materials. The machining accuracy in World War II, the manufacturing small-diameter gun and bomb are no problem. The key is that the manufacturing efficiency of small-diameter rifles under the war is difficult to meet the needs of large yields.

Plus the appearance of small diameters is because the fires of artillery are constantly enhanced, no longer need the longjection of the rifle; during the World War II, the artillery firepower is not strong, the longjection of the rifle is still the performance of the army; change into small The caliber, the army's firepower is greatly weakened, will only lose more miserable.

Although the small caliber bullets have light weight, high shooting accuracy, high strength, but also have insufficient penetration, effective range of killing, and other deficiencies. After many years, the military community has also attacked the advantages of the 62mm caliber bullets, and some national army resembles 7.62 mm rifles.

Under this kind of reasons, Jeni can't give up the middle power bomb. It was first used 7.92 x 33mm in World War II, and later changed to a gross 7.62x39mm, and finally the British .280 inch (7 × 43mm) middle power rifle.
