Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

As he said this, Qin Yang had already walked to the platform at the front of the conference room, where Leader Fang and the others were watching his performance.

"Chaozi, bring over the newly developed gun!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Chao quickly lifted a box from the corner and placed it on the table in front of Qin Yang, taking out the newly developed rifle from inside.

"This size is about the same as the AK rifle! It's just that it doesn't use wood and looks like plastic?"

"Yeah, the buttstock is also hollow. Such a design seems rare."

Amidst the discussions, Zhang Chao handed the automatic rifle to Qin Yang.

"Everyone, this is our latest developed automatic rifle. Since you are so interested in its buttstock, I will start by introducing the buttstock. This buttstock is retractable."

As Qin Yang introduced it, clicking sounds rang out, and the buttstock in Qin Yang's hand began to extend.

Everyone was stunned.

For those who had only seen wooden buttstocks, a retractable buttstock was simply a miracle!

"It has four different lengths for soldiers to adjust, with a total adjustable length of about 7 to 8 centimeters. Different lengths allow soldiers of different heights and arm spans to find a suitable gun-handling state," Qin Yang explained to everyone while demonstrating.

"In that case, the buttstock can't be folded, right?" someone asked.

"That's right. The cylinder you see inside is not only a telescopic mechanism, but we have also arranged the recoil spring and buffer tube inside."

This sentence shocked everyone. The recoil spring and buffer tube could actually be stuffed into the buttstock? Is this a rifle with a stock or a stockless rifle?

"During the shooting recoil process, the bolt carrier can extend into the inner tube of the buttstock. Therefore, the recoil stroke is much longer, and the final impact point is closer to the shooter's shoulder. In addition, the barrel axis, bolt, bolt carrier, recoil spring, buffer tube, and buttstock are all on a straight line below the shoulder. This not only greatly reduces the recoil, but also suppresses muzzle climb. Our gun will have less recoil and higher accuracy."

When the AK rifle was developed, muzzle climb plagued Kalashnikov for a long time. In the end, he opened an upward port at the muzzle to reduce muzzle climb. Even so, the subsequent bullets would fly off target during continuous fire.

Now, Qin Yang's gun has perfectly solved this problem!

"Our previous equipment required people to adapt to the gun. Now, this design is to let the gun adapt to the people, adapt to different people. Good!" Leader Fang said, "Our military industry must have this advanced concept. The old set has been used for decades, it's time to change it."

"Thank you for the praise, Leader Fang. I will continue to introduce it to you," Qin Yang said with a smile. "It looks almost the same as the AK rifle, just replaced with a lot of plastic. In fact, this gun and the AK rifle are products of two completely different eras. For example, in terms of automatic principles, we use a short-stroke piston gas operation, which is more similar to the M16 rifle. As for these plastic parts on the outside, they are mainly to reduce weight, allowing our soldiers to free up energy to carry more ammunition. Even our magazines are made of plastic."

Saying high-end composite materials wouldn't be understood by these people, it's better to just say plastic.

Wang Liqun opened his eyes wide, watching all of this. As an ammunition expert, he often uses guns. He had a premonition: this gun is very advanced and may become the next generation of standard firearms!

Wei Man also shut his mouth. The current field of firearms is no longer something he can dabble in. Moreover, at this time, there were still many things swirling in his mind: advanced nano-propellants, and a special copper removal agent formula. Are these things real?

After studying ammunition for half his life, he is not as good as the young man in front of him!

"Currently, this gun is in the form of an automatic rifle, with a dedicated Picatinny rail on top, which can be used to install some standard accessories, such as a scope with three times the magnification, or a dedicated night vision device, and dozens of other pieces of equipment. Of course, the biggest feature of this gun is modularity."

"Modularity, what does that mean?"

"Yeah, what's the matter with this automatic rifle form? Can it be turned into other guns?"

"That's right, it's like a Transformer. It can transform at any time according to needs. Now, this is a standard assault rifle with a barrel length of 368.3 millimeters. We can simply change its barrel to become a carbine suitable for use in confined spaces. Now, I'll give everyone a demonstration."

The advantage of a bullpup rifle is to reduce the overall length of the gun, making it suitable for narrow spaces, such as infantry fighting vehicles, indoors, and other places. Now, although this rifle has a stock, it can reduce the length of the barrel!

Amidst the surprised gazes of the crowd, Qin Yang cracked open the handguard of the barrel, or rather, the plastic guard, and then removed the barrel, took the barrel handed over by Zhang Chao and installed it, put the handguard back on, and then installed a grip underneath!

That cylindrical grip made the gun look very special.

Everyone has become accustomed to the shooting method of holding the trigger grip with the right hand and holding the barrel handguard with the left hand. However, this is when the gun is relatively long. If the length of the gun is shortened, it would be a bit awkward to hold it that way. Now, with the grip placed underneath, it looks very convenient to hold with both hands.

"To use it better, I added a grip to the front of it."

"This is almost the same as a submachine gun!" someone said.

"That's right, the short-barreled carbine is used as a submachine gun. It can exert the best effect in special terrains. Now, I will demonstrate the precision rifle type to everyone."

"Isn't a precision rifle a sniper rifle?" someone asked.

"That's right, the grip is not needed, but a bipod is needed."

As Qin Yang spoke, he pulled the bottom of the front grip, and the inside pulled out in two halves, extending to both sides, turning into a bipod in front of everyone!

Qin Yang had already used the method of not connecting the gun mount to the barrel on the 12.7mm sniper rifle. The floating barrel is more convenient for accurate sniping, avoiding the barrel from being stressed and bent, etc. Now, this front grip can actually be used for two purposes. It's really a Transformer!

Now, all the viewers felt that their brains couldn't keep up with their eyes. They simply didn't know that rifles could be designed like this!

"When it comes to innovation, we still have to look at you young people, Engineer Qin. You have broadened my horizons again today," Leader Fang said, "Your gun is not only the first in the country, but also probably the first in the world!"

"Thank you for the praise, Leader. It is indeed the first in the world. In the future, the gun designs of various countries in the world will have to imitate us."

Qin Yang has the capital to brag. The gun he is taking out now is the QBZ-191 of later generations. This gun is already a culmination of achievements. It imitates the SCAR of FN company, and this gun has been selected as the next generation of standard firearms of the US military. Our own design has integrated our own ideas, surpassing its predecessors.

Qin Yang is standing on the shoulders of giants. Although these synthetic materials at hand are still somewhat different from those of later generations, it is enough to use them now to scare people to death.

"Hmph, what's the use of this? It changes back and forth, but it doesn't have the machine gun we need most!" a voice said.

It was this
