Development and evolution
1 1 sniper grenade launcher (QLU- 1 1), QLU is the official translation category code of "Liu Dan jūji of Qingwu Banner", and the normal pinyin is "20 165438". 20 1 1), also known as 1 1 type, hereinafter referred to as QLG- 1 1), is a light semi-automatic sniper Grenade launcher developed by Hunan Weapon Zijiang Machinery Co., Ltd. (State-owned 9656 Factory), a subsidiary of China Hunan Ordnance Industry Group Co., Ltd.
master cast
The first version is the LG-5 40mm sniper grenade launcher displayed at the 20 14 China Police Equipment Exhibition. This launcher mainly fires 40x53mm NATO standard grenades or BGJ-5 40mm sniper-grade HE-DP ammunition made in China. This version is mainly used for foreign trade export, and the other version is the version of launching 35x32mm SR grenades, the model is QLU- 1658. QLU- 1 1 35mm Grenade launcher has two modes of use. One is a light version carried by a single soldier, which is 1225mm long and 13kg heavy, and has four detachable drums.
The other version is a heavy version fixed on a tripod. This heavy-duty version is 14 15 mm, including tripod and 15 detachable roller, with a total weight of 25 kg. It can be seen that the overall weight is not very heavy, especially the light version carried by individual soldiers, with a total weight of only 13kg, which is very important for maneuverability.
design
As for the overall design, the casing is made of light aluminum alloy by integral cutting technology, which can bring lighter weight while ensuring the overall structural strength, which is very useful for the overall weight control.
However, compared with the box structure of rifle or sniper rifle, the integrated box of QLU- 1 1 type 35mm Grenade launcher is still very huge, and there is basically no space for these structures, such as the front and lower wooden guard plates, and the surface is coated with a black anti-corrosion film, which can increase the hardness of the surface structure and prevent the parts from being corroded.
The bolt mechanism is based on the automatic principle of compound floating launch, with closed cavity design, which can be hit at any time. Recoil device is a short stroke recoil device of barrel, bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt bolt. In fact, this bolt mechanism has been used in QLZ87 automatic Grenade launcher for a long time, which has the characteristics of mature technology, reasonable structure, easy maintenance and strong versatility, and also meets the requirements of developing 40mm and 35mm versions.
The automatic mode is semi-automatic, which is very helpful for the continuity of firepower. The shell throwing mouth and the pull handle are designed at the upper right of the box, and the handle of the transmitter is arranged right above the box, which is convenient to carry.
The front is a large-caliber free-floating barrel. Anyone who has seen the contents of the sniper rifle in the weapons lecture hall knows that at present, the advanced sniper rifles in the world adopt this barrel installation method. It can be seen that these designs are completely designed to realize its sniper Grenade launcher.
There is a muzzle brake at the front end of the barrel. This kind of brake adopts double-chamber straight cavity structure and is often used in large-caliber weapons. This structure has excellent braking effect and can greatly reduce recoil. Moreover, the muzzle brake of QLU- 1 1 35mm Grenade launcher also has an expansion device, which can be used to launch the air-blown program-controlled signal flare fuze device. What does this mean?
We all know that some grenades are programmable. For example, air-blown anti-personnel bombs are generally equipped with programmable fuzes. In general, this kind of fuze is an electronic fuze with a fixed number of revolutions installed at the muzzle through dynamic induction, and its working modes are gas explosion and collision explosion.
When the launcher is ready to launch an air-blown anti-personnel bomb, an air-blown fire control device can be added. At this time, if the trigger key is pressed, the fire control can automatically measure a series of parameters such as shooting distance, shooting angle, temperature, wind direction, air pressure and so on. Then calculate the trajectory and transmit the calculated data to the muzzle signal receiving device. At this time, if the trigger is pressed to fire the air-blown killing bomb, the signal sensing device installed in the brake will directly detect the programmable fuse in the Grenade.
This method is very useful in jungle warfare or urban street fighting when facing the targets hidden in fortifications, trenches or urban buildings. Air-blown grenades can pass through fortifications or buildings, and air-blown grenades can be realized at a certain distance above living targets. Grenade fragments will kill living targets behind bunkers.
The lower part of the case is a handle, a gun butt plate, a trigger mechanism and an adjustable tripod. The bipod is located near the center of gravity of the weapon, which can quickly adjust the height and can be folded when carrying, which is very humanized.
In front of the trigger holder is the installation position of the roller. The drum used in QLU- 1 1 35mm Grenade launcher is the main ammunition supply system, with 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 detachable drums. These small-capacity drums are mainly used in a light state, but of course, large rounds of 12 and 15 can also be used.
There is a gun butt structure at the tail of the launcher, and a rubber washer at the tail is used to buffer the recoil. The shoulder rest is made of rubber with moderate hardness to protect the shooter from the impact of excessive recoil. But when shooting, the shooter will still be squeezed by the strong recoil, but at least it can play a certain protective role.
The lower part of the stock is a triangular bracket with adjustable parts, which is similar to a triangular grip and can be used as a grip to control the stability of the whole gun when firing.
As for the aiming mechanism, QLU- 1 1 35mm Grenade launcher is a high-precision Grenade launcher, equipped with a large number of high-precision equipment. Its aiming device is an integrated computer automatic aiming device specially designed for long-range sniper task, which has the functions of laser ranging, trajectory calculation and night vision, can measure and compensate the influence of factors such as air pressure, temperature and shooting angle on shooting, and can greatly improve the accuracy of the first hit.
It can be said that this sighting system is equivalent to an intelligent fire control system, and the guide rail for installing the sighting device is a lengthened floating Picardini guide rail, which is designed on the left side of the chassis, and the sighting device is installed on the upper left side of the chassis through the inverted L-shaped sighting device connecting seat.
The reason for this design is that the shell throwing opening and shell pulling handle of the Grenade launcher are located at the upper right of the chassis, and the position of the handle is just above the chassis, so it can only be designed at the upper left. Why do you want to use the extended floating Picardini guide rail for the upper left guide rail? The reason for this design is that the recoil of this gun is very large. When shooting, if the shooter's eyes are close to the sight, the eyepiece of the sight can easily hit the shooter's eyes due to the vibration caused by recoil. Therefore, when shooting, the extended floating Picardini guide rail can float forward relative to the gun body through inertia, thus preventing the eye mask of the sight from hitting the shooter's eyes.
In addition to this aiming system, the QLU- 1 1 35mm Grenade launcher also has a spare mechanical sight, which is composed of a vertical ruler and a sheet-like sight, just like the general mechanical sight of Grenade launcher.
It is mainly used for short distance or emergency when the optical sight is damaged and cannot be used. The position of this sight is also designed on the left side of the top of the case. The accuracy itself is average and it can only be roughly aimed.
Its ammunition has two calibers. The export version is equipped with NATO standard 40mm Grenade or domestic BGJ-5 40 mm sniper grade HE-DP ammunition, which can strike the target within 600 meters 1 meter and continuously develop to the accuracy of R 100. Simply put, it can fire three rounds of high-explosive bombs into the windows or doors of ordinary houses at a distance of 600 meters, which is very practical for urban street fighting.
Its maximum operating distance is 1000 m for point targets and 2200 m for regional targets. When launching an armor-piercing projectile, it can penetrate 80mm thick steel plate.
Of course, in addition to high-explosive grenades and armor-piercing grenades, you can also launch killing grenades, burning grenades, smoke bombs, lighting grenades, training grenades and programmable grenades.
It can be used to attack high-value military material targets such as light armored vehicles, small ships and ships in ports, planes or helicopters, bunkers, missile launch pads, communication and radar facilities.
You can see that the target of this sniper grenade launcher is similar to the main target of the anti-equipment sniper rifle, but compared with the anti-equipment sniper rifle, the QLU- 1 1 type 35mm grenade launcher has more powerful destructive power, which can produce enough destructive power to paralyze or irretrievable the target. It can be called a modern weapon more ferocious than the anti-equipment sniper rifle.
At present, the QLU- 1 1 Grenade launcher has been equipped with the China People's Liberation Army, and it has also been used in the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Navy abroad. Perhaps this single-soldier sniper grenade launcher will dominate one side in the future.
