8 1 Automatic rifles and Type 56 assault rifles
Let me talk about the characteristics of the 8 1 automatic rifle.
1. Different from the long piston air guide of AK automatic rifle, the 8 1 automatic principle adopts short-stroke piston air guide structure, which is similar to the 56 semi-automatic rifle. The biggest advantage of short piston stroke is small center of gravity deviation and high shooting stability, which is very helpful to improve accuracy.
2. In the motion design of the locking bolt, the 8 1 model adopts the locking bolt rotation locking similar to AK, instead of the 56 half-locking bolt offset locking structure.
3. In the design of the casing structure, the 8 1 model draws lessons from the integrated casing of AK series, and the opening mode of the casing cover is the same as that of AK, but it is simpler and more compact as a whole.
4.8 1 has the safety design of automatic rifles been changed from AK? Big pick? Design, you can adjust the safety or speed of the machine with only your thumb.
The 5.8 1 model adds the function of hanging up the empty warehouse, which is a quite practical design.
6. The design of the muzzle is quite ingenious, and the muzzle device also serves as a flame arrester, a brake, a noise reducer, an anti-jump device and a Grenade launcher. Therefore, the sight of 8 1 has retreated a certain distance, which is the biggest difference between 8 1 automatic rifle and AK series.
7. It is still common to use 7.62*39 mm bullets, 56 charges and 56 semi-ammunition, which is also the most misunderstood place by outsiders.
Generally speaking, the 8 1 automatic rifle is a new domestic automatic rifle re-developed on the basis of 56 punches and 56 and a half, not a simple improvement and imitation.
8 1 formula and 8 1 column
The appearance of 8 1 automatic rifle is also very dramatic. Since 1970s, the trend of small caliber rifles has become popular all over the world. American-made 5.56 mm rifles and Soviet-made 5.45 mm rifles have been heavily equipped with troops. At this time, China's grass-roots units are still heavily equipped with Type 56 assault rifles and Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, which have fallen behind the times. 1978, the PLA decided to change to a small-caliber automatic rifle with a caliber of 5.8 mm in the future, and the development work began one after another. However, with the shortcomings of the PLA's grass-roots units in self-defense against Vietnam exposed, replacing new rifles became an urgent task at that time. Therefore, the People's Liberation Army issued a research task in 1979, requesting to equip a new type of medium caliber automatic rifle that can replace the 56-punch and 56-half, so as to temporarily make up for the blank of small caliber automatic rifles before they are finalized. Therefore, China military personnel used the conditions at that time and learned from the design characteristics of 56-punch and 56-punch, and designed and finalized a transitional medium caliber automatic rifle in a short time. However, this kind of transition gun was so excellent that it was difficult to produce small-caliber automatic rifles, which led to the situation that the PLA was equipped with 8 1 in batches.
Type 8 1 is also a gun family.
Type 56 assault rifle is an authorized version of AK automatic rifle in China.
Needless to say, the Type 56 assault rifle was provided by the Soviet Union to China after the drawings were provided? AK China Edition? . At the same time, China imported SKS semi-automatic rifles and RPD light machine guns. These weapons were later named Type 56 assault rifle, Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and Type 56 light machine gun respectively.
Why China named the AK automatic rifle Type 56 assault rifle is a little historical. In the 1950s, the basic infantry units of the Chinese Army still maintained the early traditional war ideology, focusing on accurate shooting, developing bayonets and saving ammunition. Which is better? A bullet destroys an enemy? Therefore, there are certain requirements for the accuracy of rifles and ammunition consumption. The firepower and accuracy of semi-automatic rifles were consistent with the operational ideas of the troops at that time, so a large number of grass-roots infantry were equipped with 56-type semi-automatic rifles, and in order to make up for the shortcomings that semi-automatic rifles could not fire continuously, some submachine guns were equipped in the infantry detachment to suppress the firepower at close range. Before the appearance of Type 56 gun family, the standard equipment of domestic infantry squad was a Type 54 submachine gun (imitation of Soviet-made PPS) for each squad leader and vice squad leader, and the rest were Type 53 rifles (Soviet-made Mosinnagan). After the Type 56 gun family was completely replaced, the Type 53 was replaced by the Type 56 and a half, and the AK with continuous firing function replaced the Type 54 submachine gun as a substitute, so it was named the Type 56 assault rifle according to its use at that time.
Lei Feng's hand was a 54-type submachine gun, which was replaced by a 56-type punch.
In fact, is it? Automatic rifle? OK or not? Submachine gun? Anyway, its name is closely related to the tactical thinking and use of the troops, not what others call it. You know about the naming of weapons in China and the Soviet Union, don't you? Assault rifle? This name does not prevent AK from being called an assault rifle on the Internet. Similarly, Type 56 assault rifle was defined by China according to the tactical use of weapons at that time, which had nothing to do with right or wrong, let alone going online.
STG44/MP44 (assault rifle/submachine gun), right? Assault rifle? It's also the name.
If you have to be serious, you can. Understand the M 19 18 of the US military during World War II.
M 19 18 was originally planned as an automatic rifle equipped with an American soldier. As a result, during World War II, each shift was equipped with only one or two rifles for fire support, which became an out-and-out light machine gun. Then what should we call M 19 18? Automatic rifle or light machine gun? In this way, are Americans not so professional?
