Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Qin Yang. They didn't believe he could do it, but they also hoped to witness a miracle.

Even Yang Zhaojun stopped talking, waiting for the result. Time seemed to be passing slowly.

Qin Yang was searching for the feeling.

This shooting target was indeed not easy; only the most outstanding shooter could achieve it!

The wind was blowing gently, the wild grass on the ground was swaying, and the sun warmed people pleasantly. Qin Yang felt everything around him, and gradually, he forgot everything around him. In his field of vision, only the target became clearer and clearer, and the coin in the center became even clearer!

These past few days, Qin Yang had been accompanying guests during the day and staying in the workshop at night to oversee the processing, rushing to manufacture this gun. He only tested it once at the 960 factory's shooting range before bringing it here. Whether he could hit a coin a thousand meters away was truly an unknown.

In fact, the guests had left last night. This morning, Qin Yang mobilized various connections to gather all the parts, especially this 16x scope, which took a lot of effort. If he wanted to hit a target two thousand meters away, he would have to prepare everything thoroughly.

At this moment, the equipment was ready, and his state was adjusted to its best. He took a steady breath and then pulled the trigger.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, a cloud of green smoke emerged from the muzzle, and the surrounding weeds bent over under the impact of the airflow, some of them bending backward!

"A muzzle brake? This gun has a muzzle brake installed?" Yang Zhaojun suddenly reacted.

The larger the caliber, the greater the recoil. When it reached a 12.7mm caliber, the gun's recoil became too great for the shooter to handle.

Cannons have even larger calibers, and the recoil is also terrifying. The earliest muzzle-loading cannons had their barrels recoil several meters with each shot, requiring re-aiming. Many years later, a genius came up with the idea: open the muzzle backward, so that part of the gunpowder's energy would spray backward, thus offsetting part of the recoil!

The appearance of the muzzle brake reduced the recoil when cannons fired shells, greatly increasing the firing speed and promoting a revolution in artillery.

Some guns also used it later, namely the muzzle brake, but this thing had never appeared on the Type 56 family of rifles, so no one would deliberately look at the muzzle. Now, seeing Qin Yang fire, they understood the trick in this gun's design.

In fact, although the muzzle brake can greatly reduce recoil and ensure shooting stability, it also has drawbacks. Just look at the gradually spreading smoke, and you'll know that this thing is too loud!

Therefore, experienced snipers only fire one shot and then have to run away with their guns. Maybe the enemy's shells will fly over in the next second. The heroic snipers in those online novels do not exist in reality. The word "cannon fodder" is often added before the word "sniper."

That's right, snipers face the risk of being shelled. Not only must they be good at shooting and camouflage, but they must also be able to run and move their positions.

At this time, Qin Yang had already fired this shot. He had just stood up with his gun when another expert spoke up: "I noticed that the contact between your barrel and handguard is not tight enough. Is this due to insufficient machining accuracy?"

"Of course not. This is because we use a floating barrel," Qin Yang said. "During the shooting process, the barrel is completely free to vibrate."

A floating barrel? For the experts present, it was definitely the first time they had heard this term!

"If you want to shoot accurately, the barrel must remain still. You're letting the barrel vibrate freely. It would be a miracle if you could hit the target!" Yang Zhaojun spoke again.

Qin Yang glanced at him disdainfully: "It's not scary to be uneducated, what's scary is to be uneducated and still think you're an expert."

"Report!" At this moment, the voice of the target reporter sounded in the distance: "The bullet hit the ten ring, and more than half of the coin in the center of the target was shattered!"

What?

Everyone was shocked.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Yang Zhaojun shouted: "Bring the target over for us to check!"

"Young man, can you tell everyone, what's the matter with the floating barrel?" Leader Fang looked at Qin Yang with gentle eyes. He knew that this was definitely not cheating. The rifle in Qin Yang's hand had hit a coin a thousand meters away! At this time, he was very curious, how could this kind of accuracy be achieved?

"This is simple. We all know that when the trigger is pulled and the bullet passes through the barrel, the barrel will produce various vibrations. This is an inevitable phenomenon. If there is external influence, whether it is the handguard or the barrel support, etc., it will cause a decrease in accuracy. The vibration of the barrel stops at different positions due to external influences, and the position where the bullet leaves the barrel will be different, and the error will be large. If the barrel is completely free-floating, without any contact with the stock or tripod, the barrel will vibrate freely. This way, it will still return to the same position after vibration."

"We are really frogs in a well, I didn't expect there to be such a theory!" One expert said.

"Hmph, impossible, how is this possible? How much does the barrel vibrate? Is it necessary to consider it? A show of talent!" Yang Zhaojun still didn't believe it. He watched as the target reporter carried the target marker all the way over and then put the target marker on the ground.

Everyone looked over.

In the center was a hole, and the edge of the hole was still attached to a crescent-shaped coin. The edge of the coin that had been cut off had some molten and then solidified metal droplets.

If there was only the target paper, it could be said to be cheating, but now, this coin was definitely pierced by a 12.7mm bullet! The metal droplets next to it were caused by the heat generated by the friction of the bullet flying through!

"I don't believe it, this must be cheating!" Yang Zhaojun said.

"Don't believe it? Are you suspecting that the troops here are helping me?"

Hearing this, the face of the troop leader Wang on the scene turned black: "Engineer Yang, I can guarantee that there is no cheating in our shooting range! If there is, I will take off this military uniform!"

Yang Zhaojun knew that what he had just said was inappropriate, and quickly defended: "No, no, I'm not talking about you, I'm..."

He was thinking of other reasons. If he was cheating, there must be someone from the shooting range involved, otherwise, Qin Yang wouldn't be able to do anything alone!

"Are you afraid of taking off your pants and running around the shooting range?" Qin Yang looked at Yang Zhaojun: "If you lose, you want to go back on your word, such character is not good!"

Yang Zhaojun's face turned white.
