"This gun has high single-shot accuracy, good continuous shooting accuracy, low recoil, reliable and durable, easy to operate, no exposed puller handle gives way slot window, good craftsmanship and low price," said Naras. "The biggest problem is that this gun has a 62mm caliber, and we need a small caliber rifle, so if you choose this rifle, we need to change the caliber, which is a big project."

The most important thing for a gun is its caliber. This is the first technical indicator to be selected. Changing the caliber is almost a redesign.

"Is there anything else besides changing the caliber?" asked Mhamad.

Mhamad is quite familiar with light weapons. Such questions are almost like asking the person in charge. After all, what weapon to choose is related to the Pakistani Army light weapons, and you should not be careless.

"The Type 81 rifle uses a low-cost AK/SVD receiver, which is not convenient to install optical sights; our standard light weapons require easy addition of various accessories. It is best to use Pilatini-style guide rails as popular as in the West, which can be equipped with tactical flashlights, laser/infrared sights, optical sights, American-made mk203 grenade launchers and other accessories to greatly increase the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers." The person in charge continued.

Multifunctional tactical guides have become very popular in this era, and this rifle from China is far behind in this regard.

"Is there anything else?" Mhamad continued.

The person in charge felt that some sweat was coming out of his forehead. What else? After a year or two comparison, he found these main shortcomings.

"There is another disadvantage of this gun, which is that it is too long!" said Mhamad.

Too long! During World War II, the Japanese 38th cover and bayonet were almost all tall, and the rifles at that time were not too low. The main purpose was to fight for bayonets!

Now, decades have passed, and the supply of bullets is far from comparable to the tactics of bayonets at the time. When this rifle was developed, I don’t know what the designers and the clerks at that time thought. They probably still wanted to fight bayonets on the battlefield and stretch the length of the 81 rifle. Without bayonets, it reached 955mm, which is much longer than the prototype AKM. This length is brought about by lengthening the receiver. As a result, the length of the entire gun increases, and the aiming baseline is too short, even worse than the ak47. It must undergo rigorous training to improve the accuracy.

In the training outline of China, bayonets have always been used as a key content. However, the purpose of bayonets is no longer used on the battlefield, but is more about training the brave spirit of soldiers.

The length of the gun has brought various problems. For example, with the popularity of infantry fighting vehicles, it will become more and more common for soldiers to arrive on the battlefield in infantry fighting vehicles. At the same time, they will also fight in infantry fighting vehicles. The space inside the infantry fighting vehicles is not large, and using the Type 81 rifle here is simply a torment. Beware that you accidentally hurt your comrades due to your carelessness.

Therefore, in later generations, the length of the rifle was shortened as much as possible, and even an extreme method of the unsubstantiated rifle was used to greatly shorten the total length of the gun body while ensuring that the barrel length remained unchanged.

Now Mhamad pointed out another flaw of this rifle, which is too long! This is also the reason why the Type 81 used a folding stock when it was improved?

Change the caliber, the length of the barrel, and the multi-function tactical guide rail. Such improvements are probably similar to a newly developed rifle.

Mhamadping held the rifle, aimed at the target two hundred meters away in front, and gently pulled the trigger.

"Da." With a gunshot, the bullet flew out of the muzzle and flew towards the target opposite.

Naras picked up the telescope and looked at the target opposite him. Ten rings! The president said lightly and actually hit ten rings! Naras was immediately full of respect for the president who came out of the front line and participated in many battles.

"Let's go and see the next one." Mhamad said.

The next one is also a rifle equipped in Pakistan, the American m16 rifle.

This rifle is a standard rifle equipped by the United States after World War II, and is also a rifle that promotes the development trend of small-caliber rifles around the world. It is a 56mm caliber rifle. It is this rifle that has led to the current NATO standard rifle caliber, which is 56mm.

The biggest advantage of this gun is its high precision!

Soviet weapons are strong and durable, simple in structure, and easy to mass production, while American weapons focus on performance. The shooting accuracy of the m16 rifle is quite high. When comparing in later generations, the shooting accuracy of the m16a2 rifle even surpasses that of the 88 sniper rifle in China! The performance of a dedicated sniper rifle is not as good as an ordinary assault rifle. I don’t know what Chinese rifle experts should think. In later generations, when they saw the shooting accuracy of guns in the Western world, they just thought it was commercial hype and it was impossible to reach such a high standard. It was not until they really came into contact with it that they were surprised and found that Westerners were not bragging at all, but were working behind closed doors, and they were getting further and further away from the advanced level of the world!

When the m16 was just equipped with the troops, the proud American company told the troops that m16 was an epoch-making weapon and did not need to be cleaned or equipped with cleaning tools. As a result, the Americans soon fell into the quagmire of the Vietnam War. On the battlefield, they found that the m16 in their hands often had clogs, severe dirt on the gun chamber, rust on the barrel and barrel, broken shells, and damaged magazines. Some soldiers even lost their lives because of this situation.

The same AKM rifle can be fired even if it is in the mud, even if it is swung a few times with your hands and shakes the mud in the barrel. It even appears that the so-called American soldiers on the battlefield throw away their guns and pick up the other party's guns and shoot.

However, this is the situation at that time. Now, nearly twenty years have passed, and this rifle is constantly being improved, and its reliability has been greatly improved.

The rifle in Mhamad's hand is m16a2. Compared with m16a1, it even cancels the form of fully automatic shooting, which is considered a pure waste of ammunition, and its reliability is greatly improved.

Seeing Mhamad put this assault rifle in his hand and keeps working back and forth, Naras said: "In the Western camp, this m16 rifle has the largest equipment, and this is also one of our alternative guns."

The US m16 rifle is not only equipped by itself, but also exported in large quantities, and is used by many countries.

"Let's talk about our rifle caliber first." Mhamad said: "What kind of caliber does our light weapons need?"

"56mm." Naras said almost without hesitation.

There is no other choice. The 62mm caliber is outdated. Small caliber is the trend. As for the 45mm caliber of the Soviet Union, only the Soviets were using it. Most NATO has 56mm caliber. Pakistan is still very close to the West. After all, it has been fighting against the Soviets in recent years. Therefore, although Pakistan is not a NATO country, using 56mm caliber is also the most reasonable choice.

Mhamad nodded. In fact, he, who came from later generations, prefers China's 8mm caliber. This is the most suitable caliber that China has chosen after years of comparison. Unfortunately, it is too early now. Even if China developed the Type 95 rifle, Mhamad looked down on it. It is a stolen rifle, which is definitely a scam.

There is no other choice, it can only be a 56mm caliber. Not only do you need to equip this kind of rifle in large quantities, Pakistan must also be able to achieve independent production of ammunition, and introducing a full set of production lines from the West is a must.

Since it is 56mm caliber, it seems that the m16 in front of you is the best choice?

No! Of course not! Mhamad knows that the most suitable rifle performance depends on the US military equipped with a large number of m16 rifles, and the foreign weapons used by the US military. After all, the military technology of Western European countries is very high, and many companies have developed light weapons with performance above m16.

In Mhamad's impression, the best fear is the SAR assault rifle made by FN company Belgium. This rifle adopts a modular design and can be combined in different ways, including NATO's 56mm SAR-l and 62mm SAR-h. It has a very high accuracy, the range of the long barrel reaches 800 meters, and its accuracy is completely better than that of the SVD category. It is tailor-made for the US special forces.

If this rifle is equipped with a beam, the troops can save even a mid-caliber sniper rifle. Unfortunately, this rifle will not be able to appear in the 21st century.

In addition to these, there should be other rifles.

Mhamad continued to move forward along the shooting position, over several other guns, and stopped in front of another position.

"This is..." Naras wanted to introduce Mhamad, so Mhamad followed: "The Swiss SG550 rifle was successfully finalized last year and was equipped with a rifle for the troops."
Chapter completed!
