Chapter 1282 Improvement Plan
"If we only solve this problem, this solution is feasible, but the weapon is a whole and there are many factors that affect the accuracy, so we need to consider all aspects before we can come up with a truly effective solution."
When everyone heard Lin Mo's words, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but this statement was fine, so everyone quickly adjusted their thoughts and continued to follow this idea.
This time, someone finally mentioned the problem of hitting the bull's-eye. After firing, the temperature of the barrel changes, thermal expansion and contraction! Normally, it has no big impact on the bolt-action rifle, but when it comes to a sniper rifle that pursues high-precision, any impact will be amplified, and it will naturally become one of the problems to be solved.
Everyone discussed the solution again, and finally came up with a solution. The front support adopts a hollow design and even a heat sink is installed on the barrel to speed up heat dissipation.
Facing the eyes of everyone, Lin Mo did not keep it a secret this time and replied directly: "Use heavy barrels, that is, barrels with thickened walls.
More iron can store more heat and reduce the temperature increase. At the same time, the surface area of the barrel increases, which can also speed up heat dissipation.
For snipers, the shooting frequency is not high, which is enough, and heavy duty also performs better in terms of resistance to deformation, shaking, etc.
Heavy barrels are the best solution, but we cannot build high-quality barrels on our own at present, so we need another solution, which can be used for hollow guards.”
Because he mentioned it just now, Lin Mo only gave time to sort out his thoughts, so he did his own thing and threw out the problem.
"I just mentioned the deformation and shaking of the barrel are also factors that affect the accuracy, but the source of the two is the same. When the gun is fired, the huge impact of the gunpowder will cause the barrel to vibrate."
The problem was thrown out, and everyone started to discuss it based on it. However, this time they had a problem in solving the problem, focusing on how to reduce the barrel vibration.
Of course, it is not without discussion. An expert brought by Wu Liangdong used vibrations to make it more messy and refuted the proposals proposed by others. Unfortunately, neither he nor others have considered it in depth.
Seeing that he had not realized the problem and had not discussed any plan, Lin Mo decisively stopped the discussion because it was meaningless to continue. How could the wall in the dead end be so easy to break open?
"Even the barrel that can withstand huge pressure on the barrel vibrates. It is not easy to reduce the vibration easily. It is safer to start from the barrel, but we do not have this condition.
Moreover, you just mentioned a key issue: reducing vibration from the outside must affect the barrel and change the vibration, but the vibration is extremely difficult to control, so the vibration of the barrel will only be more chaotic.
Let’s change our thinking, instead of changing the vibration of the barrel, we make its vibration more regular and stable. In this way, the impact it exerts on the warhead will also be consistent. Isn’t the impact controllable?”
After Lin Mo finished speaking, several experts brought by Wu Liangdong couldn't help but applaud and praised him. He had no doubt about Wu Liangdong's words that he had extremely high attainments in weapons.
This problem is a bit beyond the scope, otherwise the idea would not have turned into a dead end, so Lin Mo didn't sell himself and directly gave his own solution.
"The root of vibration is the waves that propagate within objects, and waves propagate between different objects, that is, from one object to another object, and between different media, the materials are different, and it is easy to have mutual interference and influence.
The source of the wave is the gas shock in the barrel, which is the most affected by this. In summary, to maintain the stability of the vibration, that is, the stability of the wave, the components that come into contact with the barrel should be minimized.
Therefore, when talking about the issue of heat dissipation, I did not agree to install a heat sink in the barrel. The front guard also considered the same thing, directly separate the barrel from the front support to avoid interference caused on this issue.
The optimal solution is that the barrel is only connected to the receiver, and other components, including foot, sight, etc., should be adjusted to other positions to avoid interference as much as possible."
What Lin Mo said is the principle of floating barrel design. In later generations, this was the standard design of almost every high-precision sniper rifle, which shows that this is a point that affects performance.
Everyone had no doubts about what Lin Mo said, but how to design it specifically? Whether these can be achieved can be communicated carefully. There are some difficulties, but it is not impossible to solve them.
At this point, the design of the front half of the sniper rifle was finalized.
Then there is the gun chamber, and the receiver needs to be newly designed and adjusted to adapt to the floating barrel design. Others are to specially make precise parts to reduce their impact on accuracy, as well as threaded bolts, and better seal the barrel.
After the rear support, Lin Mo also took out some of the later generations' release plans, such as adjustable chin support plates, shoulder-to-shoulder, and soft pads. Lin Mo also suggested changing the grip to a pistol grip, which can play a certain auxiliary role in sniper combat.
"In addition to the influence of the gun's own reasons on accuracy, there are many other factors that affect accuracy, such as dust entering the gun chamber, and the residual gunpowder in the barrel."
Lin Mo continued to raise the problem, and everyone continued to follow the idea and propose solutions. This time, there were many suggestions for the target, but unfortunately, there was still no complete solution.
After everyone finished speaking, Lin Mo said, "I hit it a lot, but I was a little concerned about my head and didn't care about my butts. The dust cover could be added, but I should first move the shell port of the gun to the side.
In this way, install a small dust cover on the lower side of the shell port. When using it, open it. When the gun is in normal position, it will naturally hang down. On the top, when moving, it may turn back on the cover by itself, affecting shooting.
Moreover, after the shell port is moved sideways, it can be installed on the guide rails and the sighting equipment will be more convenient. After all, that position is the best installation position for the sighting lens.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! Of course, the corresponding bullet casing also needs to be adjusted. It is recommended to use the magazine directly, three or five rounds, eight or ten rounds, design more, and choose equipment based on actual needs."
Lin Mo didn't say much about the problem of gunpowder residue. What they raised was enough, nothing more than strengthening maintenance and cleaning, and making some more useful tools, and the other was to use high-quality ammunition for launching medicine.
However, Lin Mo also raised new questions based on this, saying: "Ammunition also has an impact on the accuracy of shooting, such as charge, warhead and even shell, and conventional-quality ammunition, the errors are not low.
The same goes for normal soldiers and normal guns, the error is within the acceptance range, but the impact will also be amplified in the ultimate pursuit of accuracy.
The solution is only the corresponding fine operation. For example, the ejection drug must be guaranteed in addition to the quality of the drug, weighing can be done manually directly to control the error to a lower and smaller level.
The shell can be specially opened for production lines or can be selected from existing goods for use. The same is true for the bullet head, but you can't just look at the surface. The inner core of the bullet may be crooked, which is very troublesome to choose.
Therefore, the best choice is to build a special production line to produce high-quality sniper bombs. Of course, the cost may be higher, so it can be matched with the former."
Wu Liangdong replied: "In terms of ammunition production, our technology is limited. If the launching medicine is of good quality, we can't make it ourselves, but it can be purchased from outside, and the impact is not great.
However, even if the quality of the shell and the bullet head are better, they can only be picked and used. As for the self-produced, they can be made, but the quality is not satisfactory.
Moreover, although the bullet case and the bullet head are just a gadget, the technology requirements are not low. In the short term, the level is really difficult to improve."
After Wu Liangdong considered it, he became more difficult. He was not shirking it, but talking about the truth. Some ordinary bullets, which are processed and produced by themselves, can be done now, but it is still a long way to go, let alone make special sniper bullets with obviously not low standards.
After hearing this, Lin Mo sorted out carefully before replying: "Pick the ordinary sniper bullets, just pick it up and get it together, which is to take some effort. As for the latter type of high-standard sniper bullets, it is indeed more cumbersome and difficult.
I won’t say much about launching medicine, that is, to reduce errors. As for the shell, you can use it to pick it or open a small production line to make it slowly. It is still no problem to take some effort and improve the quality.
As for the warhead, the core of the bullet is largely for cost considerations, and the cost of special sniper bullets is destined to be low, and the demand is actually not too large, so there is no need to consider large-scale production.
As for how to make the warhead, you can directly use solid copper to cut it. In this way, it should be feasible to create a high-standard warhead with the skills and familiarity of the workers.
Moreover, this manufacturing method also has its advantages, because without considering the large-scale production of machines, the warhead can be made more aerodynamics, which helps to improve the stability of bullet flight, thereby improving the accuracy and range. You can try to put some effort into this."
"...If this is the case, we are afraid we can't afford this bullet..." Before Wu Liangdong could speak, Zhang Xiwen spoke first, frowning, and he was almost able to hold the flies to death.
"...Good steel is used on the steel blade..." Lin Mo did not deny that the cost is indeed not low, but you want to use it every day? You will not be as wealthy as you later generations, that's possible!
"It's enough to use ordinary sniper bullets in daily training. The cost is not much higher than that of ordinary ammunition, and there is no need to waste it in ordinary targets. This kind of ammunition is prepared for high-value targets, long-distance and long-distance sniping."
After listening to Lin Mo's explanation, Zhang Xiwen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Liangdong and others, after communicating, agreed to try it.
"The above are some modifications and designs made to the weapon from the perspective of shooting accuracy. Of course, the accuracy is also related to the range. After this set of improvements, the effective range of the gun should also be greatly improved.
However, more direct and effective solutions to improve the range of guns must also be considered. I won’t keep this from being closed, and there are no tricks, it’s just some increase or decrease.
To increase the charge, we can start from the amount and power of the emitted medicine. In the short term, we can only follow the conditions of the original ammunition design, especially the shell shells. More experiments are needed to do the specific details of how to increase or decrease the amount.
I would like to remind you that you should be careful when adding or decreasing the amount, and the bearing of the shell case and the gun chamber should be taken into account. Moreover, the increase in the dose will also affect the accuracy.
Gunpowder gas gradually decreases in the barrel. If the amount of medicine is too large, the gas will interfere with its flight status when the warhead flies out of the muzzle, which will affect its accuracy and even range.
This leads to another solution to increase the range, which is of course appropriate to increase the barrel, and we do not currently meet this condition.
Fortunately, the original guns we modified are all long rifles, and the original length of the barrel is basically enough, and the impact is not great.
The third method to increase the range is to shorten the weight of some warheads, or change the shape and structure of the warheads as before, so that they are more suitable for long-distance stable flights.
However, it is not easy to do whether it is a barrel or a warhead. The former has technology stuck, while the latter has many tricks. The threshold for research and experiments is not low, and it is difficult to achieve results for the time being.
Therefore, the method we can do in the early stage is to launch medicine. As for the impact of gunpowder gas on warhead flight, we can try to use muzzle parts to reduce it."
After Lin Mo said that, Wu Liangdong considered it and asked: "Will the vibration problem I mentioned before have an impact after installing the muzzle parts?"
"...It will definitely..." Lin Mo nodded after thinking for a while, but after a change of tone, he said: "However, the materials of the two are similar, and the connection part can also be done with some problems, and the impact should not be great.
Of course, the specific impact, the research, development, testing and use of the device, and whether to assemble these, must be decided based on the corresponding experimental results.
Another point is that although we are trying our best to optimize and improve all aspects, it is inevitable that there are conflicts in some places and need to be comprehensively considered and some trade-offs are made.
Moreover, the factors considered are not only limited to guns and battlefield situations, but also should be taken into account. For example, the sound and flame-relieving equipment installed at the muzzle is extremely practical in actual combat and is not suitable for being abandoned."
Wu Liangdong nodded and recorded the things. Lin Mo's suggestions came to an end, and asked everyone to ask questions at will, and he would help answer them.
There are still many problems. After all, although this is changed from an old gun, it is almost equivalent to turning it into another gun, and the problems are indispensable.
Moreover, it is the first time that Zhang Xiwen and the other two have come to work together, so they still need to give a satisfactory reply. For example, the preliminary design plan and sketch, it is best to issue one copy first.
Lin Mo also put forward some small improvement and optimization suggestions on some small accessories of sniper rifles, such as tripods, straps, etc. After all, everything may be related to combat effectiveness.
