Chapter 72: Howitzers and Sniper Grenade Launchers

Panshan Machinery Factory is developing in an orderly manner.

Liu Tao spent a week to develop rifle grenades and sniper grenade guns.

Rifle grenades, which are a combination of rifles and grenades, are also called "rifle grenades".

Just add a launcher!

Tracing back to rifle grenades, we have to go back to World War I and World War II.

Even after more than half a century, rifle grenades are still widely used.

Rifle grenades are no less powerful than rockets, and they are light in weight. Under the same load, they can carry more.

Previously, China developed a 67-type rifle grenade.

It's just that if you don't pay attention to this thing, the gun will be destroyed and people will die, and it is also very troublesome to use.

As for the sniper grenade gun, although it is a gun, it can actually be called a cannon.

One shot can destroy a main battle tank, and its power is far more powerful than the 78-type heavy sniper rifle.

High accuracy, great power, and long range!

Liu Tao came up with this sniper grenade launcher because he wanted to create a powerful weapon that would make the enemy's main battle tanks and armored vehicles tremble under this weapon.

This sniper grenade launcher is 1.22 meters long, weighs 12.9 kilograms, has a maximum range of 1,750 meters, and fires 35*32 mm grenades!

Since it is a sniper, it is naturally equipped with advanced sighting equipment.

Liu Tao first equipped these two guns in the Wolf Warriors Special Forces.

After another month of training, the Wolf Warriors Special Forces will go to the front line for actual combat.

Liu Tao intends to use this as a test to let the leaders see the power of rifle grenades and sniper grenade launchers.

I think it can make up for the fear of insufficient firepower in the troops to a certain extent.

Of course, after coming up with these two killer weapons, you naturally have to report to your superiors.

"Did you really come up with a better rifle grenade than the Type 67 anti-tank rifle grenade?" Wang Tiezhu was quite surprised when he received Liu Tao's call.

The Type 67 anti-tank rifle grenade was the only rifle grenade equipped by the troops, but the troops did not react well. The short range could easily cause accidental injuries, and the recoil was too great.

"Yes, Director, the power is quite impressive," Liu Tao said.

"Okay, I'll organize experts to go to your factory!" Wang Tiezhu believed Liu Tao's words without a doubt. Liu Tao was indeed a genius in firearms and had developed several types of firearms by himself.

In the whole of China, no one was better at developing firearms than Liu Tao.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Tao is the number one in Chinese firearms.

"You must remember to keep rifle grenades and sniper grenade rifles secret!" Wang Tiezhu reminded him.

"Understood!" Liu Tao agreed.

Then, Liu Tao began to make more rifle grenades and sniper grenade rifles.

Rifle grenades can be divided into two types: lethal and anti-armor.

The lethal rifle grenade weighs 600 grams, has a lethal radius of 30 meters, and a maximum range of 400 meters.

The anti-armor rifle grenade weighs 800 grams, has a direct firing distance of 200 meters, can penetrate up to 350 mm of vertical armor, and can penetrate 1000 mm thick concrete fortifications.

In order to cooperate with the test gun effect at that time, Liu Tao asked people to prepare 1000 mm thick concrete fortifications and a 350 mm armor.

Three days later.

Wang Tiezhu personally brought the expert group to Panshan Machinery Factory.

The shooting range has prepared 1000 mm thick concrete fortifications and 350 mm armor.

"This is the thing, is it as powerful as you said?" Wang Tiezhu looked at the rifle grenade with some doubts.

The rifle grenade Liu Tao made was a rifle grenade hung on the 78-type automatic rifle.

Wang Tiezhu thought it was a bit unreliable.

"Whether it is so powerful or not, you will know if you try it on the spot!" Liu Tao smiled lightly, and then ordered a soldier to start a live demonstration.

The special forces soldier took the grenade launcher and mounted it on his rifle, then took a grenade and stuffed it into the grenade launcher, and fired at the concrete fortifications 200 meters away.

"Boom~~"

The 1000 mm concrete fortifications were directly penetrated.

The power was so great that everyone on the scene couldn't help but change their faces.

They all knew that the 67-type anti-tank rifle grenade equipped by the troops had a maximum range of 50 meters.

But the rifle grenade Liu Tao made was as high as 200 meters, and the range was increased by 4 times.

It was so powerful!

If the infantry used the rifle grenade, they could destroy the enemy's fortifications or armored vehicles.

Then, the special forces soldier picked up the grenade, aimed at the 350 mm thick armor 200 meters away and fired, directly penetrating the armor.

The 4 grenades before and after fully demonstrated the power and performance of this rifle grenade.

"Good, a great rifle grenade!" Wang Tiezhu was very excited. If there was such a rifle grenade back then, he would have dared to lead his troops to attack Taiyuan directly!

As a veteran of hundreds of battles on the battlefield, Wang Tiezhu knew very well that this rifle grenade could greatly increase firepower.

This is of great significance to the troops.

"Leader, this rifle grenade is powerful, but the more powerful one is this sniper grenade rifle, which is the real killer!" Liu Tao picked up a sniper grenade rifle, "It can fire a variety of bullets, including armor-piercing and high-explosive fragmentation bullets, etc., and light armor is vulnerable to it!"

"It is no exaggeration to say that it has brought significant improvement to the individual combat capability of the troops!" Liu Tao gave a high evaluation of this sniper grenade rifle.

In modern warfare, the improvement of individual combat capability plays a vital role in improving the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

It can be said that with rifle grenades and sniper grenade launchers, the firepower on the battlefield will be greatly increased.

Then, Liu Tao asked the sniper to perform with this sniper grenade launcher.

A bullet box is equipped with six grenades.

As the sniper aimed, he pulled the trigger.

"Boom~~"

A shocking sound sounded, and then the grenade flew out, and a bunker fortification 1,500 meters away exploded.

Everyone couldn't help but think that if they encountered an enemy bunker on the battlefield, they could use this sniper grenade launcher to destroy the enemy's bunker.

Whether it is to drive the grenade into the hole of the bunker or the grenade penetrates the thick wall of the bunker, it is probably not difficult.

"No wonder you say that this shot can even scrap a main battle tank. The destructive power is really great!" Wang Tiezhu exclaimed.

Compared with rifle grenades, there is no doubt that this sniper grenade launcher is more powerful and has a stronger lethality on the battlefield, which will become the enemy's nightmare.

"Leader, this can be said to be a cannon in the hands of infantry!" an expert couldn't help but say.

The power of this sniper grenade launcher is much stronger than that of a sniper rifle.

"Next, you will conduct a comprehensive test of these two weapons!" Wang Tiezhu said.

What Liu Tao, the developer, said can only be used as a reference, and the real data must be measured by the expert group.

Although according to past experience, what Liu Tao said is accurate.

But the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

While other experts were busy testing the performance of the two weapons, Liu Tao took Wang Tiezhu to visit Panshan Machinery Factory and introduced it to Wang Tiezhu.
