Sniper rifle, as one of the most mainstream weapons of modern weapons, is familiar to many military fans, but do you know what kind? Let me introduce you.
It's an American M2 1 sniper rifle.
M2 1 Sniper Weapon System * * * M21Sniper Weapon System Abbreviation: M2 1SWS * * is a semi-automatic sniper rifle, which is developed on the basis of M 14 automatic rifle. Development history
M2 1 Sniper Rifle 1969 was equipped with the US military and became the general sniper rifle of the US Army, Navy and Marine Corps in the late Vietnam War. 1988 was replaced by M24 SWS. However, M2 1 is still used by the National Guard and other special operations forces, such as SEALs. According to the basic composition of the two-person sniper team of the US Army, the sniper who is the second shooter often uses the semi-automatic M2 1 to assist and cover the shooter who uses M24 SWS or M82 1.
M2 1 Sniper rifle became famous in the Vietnam War. The M2 1 sniper rifle is an accurate M 14 automatic rifle. The reason why the M 14 rifle failed was that it was used in the wrong place. 1In September 1968, the U.S. Army sent 1800 M 14 rifles with sight and accurate shooting to the U.S. Army stationed in Vietnam. 1969 equipped troops and named them M2 1, but it didn't become a general sniper rifle for the U.S. Army, Navy and Marine Corps until the late Vietnam War. After many improvements, M2 1 was not equipped until 1988, and was gradually replaced by M24 sniper rifle. M 14 is a good rifle in itself, so M2 1 sniper rifle is welcomed by the army.
On the battlefield in Vietnam, although the M 16 assault rifle completely replaced the M 14, which greatly enhanced the firepower of the US military in the range of 200~300m, it was helpless when shooting accurately at a long distance. The US Army Command believes that it is urgent to equip combat troops with new sniper rifles. 1966, the US Army Weapons Command in Iwashima * * * Army Weapons mand***, the Combat Research Command in Fort Benning ***bat developed mand***, and the limited war organization in Aberdeen * * * cooperated with the US Army Shooting Training Team to research a new type of sniper rifle. They used all available military and civilian guns with various sights and bullets, and according to their own principles and accuracy standards, they finally chose an accurate M 14NM semi-automatic rifle, equipped with Leatherwood with 3-9 times the artistic sight, and named it XM2 1. 1969, Army Iwashima Arsenal * * * Iwashima Arsenal * * converted 1 435 M 14NM rifle into XM2 1 sniper rifle, which was provided to snipers of the US Army and Marine Corps in Vietnam.
The improvement of the accuracy of the M 14 rifle is mainly reflected in the following aspects: firstly, of course, it is necessary to choose the heavy competition barrel, secondly, it is necessary to choose a suitable sight, and of course, it is necessary to improve the launching mechanism, because a stable and sensitive trigger is extremely important to improve the single-shot accuracy, and finally, it is necessary to choose a bullet with high accuracy. XM2 1 equipped with M 1 18 competition bullets produced by Salt Lake City Weapons and Ammunition Factory. The warhead weight is 173 grains * *1.2g * *, the muzzle velocity is 8 10m/s, and the ballistic ratio is 7.62. Magazine capacity of 20 rounds, equipped with tripod, good shooting stability. M2 1 can fire 7.62× 5 1mm NATO bullets.
The original stock of M2 1 was made of walnut, impregnated with epoxy resin, and later changed to glass fiber protective wood. At the beginning, M2 1 equipped M84 sight was only 2.2 times. Due to the unsatisfactory use effect, it was quickly replaced by an ART * * * adjustable ranging telescope, an adjustable telescope * * * sight and a sight base specially designed for Captain James Leatherwood * *.
Unlike M 14.
The barrel is strictly selected and accurately measured by measuring instruments to ensure that it meets the manufacturing tolerance, and the barrel bore is not chrome plated;
The shell is fixed on the stock with glass fiber glue, and the barrel is sealed with epoxy resin after being combined with the shell;
The piston and piston barrel are assembled by hand, and both are polished, which makes the action reliable and avoids the accumulation of gunpowder residue;
The air guide hoop and the lower hoop are firmly combined into a whole;

Assemble the launching mechanism, manually polish and release the hammer, and the trigger tension is19.99-21.07n;
In order to eliminate eccentricity error, the muzzle flame arrester was reamed. The muffler can be externally connected, which will not affect the initial velocity of the projectile, but it can reduce the gas leakage speed to below the speed of sound, making the shooter's position difficult to be exposed;
The stock is impregnated with walnuts and epoxy resin. Take a closer look at M2 1 M2 1 Sniper rifle, which once appeared at the American Gun Show in 2000, attracted the attention of many gun fans with its super efficiency.
1969 12 months later, XM2 1 has been informally called M2 1, but it was not until 1975 that it was formally finalized as M2 1. During the whole Vietnam War, the US military * * * equipped 1, 800 M2 1, which dominated the artistic sight. In an American Vietnam War report, it was recorded that in the half year from1October 7 to July 24, 1969+65438, a sniper squad * * shot 1.245 North Vietnamese troops, consuming 1.706 bullets on average.
The M2 1 flame arrester can be externally connected with a Sionics muffler, which will not affect the muzzle velocity of the projectile, but can reduce the exhaust gas velocity below the speed of sound, making the shooter's position difficult to be exposed. During the Vietnam War, American snipers often used a tactic called "silent death" * * * * * * silent shooting * *. They act at night, ambush in a paddy field in advance, shoot targets at a distance of 200-300 meters with a Sionics silencer and a night vision sight, and fire subsonic rifles with an initial speed of less than 330 meters per second. There is an example of a war about silent death: a group of North Vietnamese soldiers sneaked along a small forest in the middle of the night, and suddenly the leader fell down. They all had combat experience and immediately fell down and rolled into the ditch. About 15 minutes later, another North Vietnamese soldier got up to pick up the gun of the deceased and fell down again. So it came out. Americans used laser weapons and guided bullets.

Promote development
In fact, Springfield started out by distributing surplus military rifles. Later, with the support of their father, Tom and denise lewis began to imitate the semi-automatic model of the M 14 rifle and decided to name it "M 1A". During the transitional period, they produced many different types of rifles, including standard rifles, standard rifles with new loading methods, reconnaissance rifles, national competitions and advanced competitions. M2 1 rifle has various models, and the internal parts of various models can be interchanged. The M2 1 sniper rifle in the photo is equipped with tactical stock, M2 bipod and 4 ~ 14 times * * sight of Springfield Company, which is mainly used with 7.62mm ammunition. By the way, Springfield Company has its own sight production line, which is called special sight production line. For 7.62mm ammunition, the company produced the first, second and third generation * * * sights and six times sights; 5.56 mm ammunition, produced 4 ~ 14 times * * * type sight. Of course, the aiming point * * * Aimpoint * * is not unfamiliar to most shooters. The company's scope production line is in Sweden, but it is sold in the United States. Now Springfield is in charge of sales. The company's sights have been produced for decades. The M2 1 in the photo is equipped with Springfield's third-generation * * * sight. This kind of sight has a unique ranging system, which adopts six different measurement specifications. This revolutionary ranging system enables the shooter to aim at the target in any background without changing the ranging effect, which further improves the shooting accuracy. This kind of aiming image is the same as all Springfield sights. It is characterized by a patented internal bubble level, so that the shooter can always keep the gun horizontal from left to right without tilting from left to right. The sight has a horizontal wind deflection and height adjustment system, and its eyepiece is also a unique multi-layer lens type, so that the shooter can clearly aim at the target even in a dark environment, which is impossible on a low-quality sight. This kind of sight also has a long service life, which can prevent fog, water and shock. In order to make the sight firmly fixed on the gun, Springfield company also specially made a particularly wide 30mm sight fixing ring and the third generation sight seat called "M 1A" by the company. The M2 tripod used in this gun * * * M 1A * * is the same as the original tripod of the M 14 rifle, both of which are mounted on the barrel, but if the tripod fixed in this way is not careful, the gun will tilt left and right. In addition, Springfield also provides a "Harris ***Harris***" bipod, but it needs to be paid extra, because the company needs to insert a special stud into the stock when adopting this bipod. The company's technicians agree that this bipod can provide more consistent shooting accuracy than M2. The tactical stocks of M2 1 are heavier and bigger than those of Garland. The rear end of the stock is equipped with a black stock bottom plate with a thickness of 25.4mm, and the rear end of the stock is equipped with a cheek plate whose height can be adjusted by a knob. The code name of this adjustable walnut tactical stock is "DA9 12 1". The barrel length is 558.8mm, which is a "Douglas" high-quality barrel. As an option, "Hart ***Hart*** * *" stainless steel barrel or "Krieger * * *" barrel can also be provided. The total length of the gun is11/7.6 mm, and the total weight of the gun without sight is 5.27kg, and the total weight of the gun with sight is at least increased by 1.36kg. Like other rifles produced in Springfield, the gun adopts air-guided automatic mode and rotary bolt mechanism. The gun adopts air-cooled semi-automatic firing mode and uses magazine for ammunition supply. The front sight is a sheet sight with wings commonly used in national competitions; The rear aiming device is a ruler with a keyhole photo door and a knob, which can adjust the crosswind deviation and height within half a minute. Due to the limitation of American law, the sports rifle type of this gun generally uses a magazine with a capacity of 5 rounds. However, the standard magazine capacity of the gun is 10 rounds, and another magazine with a capacity of 20 rounds is banned by the Illinois Command. Guns used in military competitions use a two-stage trigger with a trigger force of 2.04kg. Springfield said that M2 1 is the ultimate weapon for law enforcement snipers and has played an active role in the actions of killer elite groups around the world. At least, it used to be an effective weapon for the US and Israeli armies, and it was well verified in the war.
