人類單兵武器史上跨時代意義的神作，一舉改變了全世界的槍支格局，STG44，永遠的神

In the Battle of Kursk, when the Soviet soldiers rushed to the German positions, a new weapon bared its fangs , and madly harvested the lives of Soviet soldiers from a combat distance of 300 meters away, while the super-repressive Bobosa submachine gun was suppressed by it. What kind of weapon is this? The firepower is so fast . Did the German army invent a new machine gun? This new weapon is the famous Stg44 assault rifle, which changed the world weapon pattern and has a profound impact on future generations. After the end of the First World War, the concept of the submachine gun gradually became popular among the people, and the weapon pattern also began to move towards the era of three guns in parallel. That is , rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, and submachine guns have become the most reliable automatic weapons in the hands of individual soldiers due to their convenience in production. After all , this thing has a fast rate of fire and strong suppression. You don’t care about 98K and high accuracy . Power, more bullets is king. From this period, the dominance of submachine guns seems to be a foregone conclusion , but the emergence of the Stg44 assault rifle broke this equipment system , and its appearance was obviously planned for a long time. In the production process of modern weapons, bullets often We have to go earlier than guns. Basically , there are bullets and then guns. For example, the Lebel rifle is the gun that has smokeless powder first. The Stg44 is no exception . In 1941, Germany developed a short-barreled 7.92*33mm intermediate-power rifle. This thing To put it bluntly, it is a reduced version of 98K7.92*57mm, which reduces the overall amount of ammunition, resulting in its low mass, low initial velocity, and low power, which makes people wonder why Germany is studying such a reduced ammunition? At that time, after summarizing the experience of World War II, Germany believed that the prospect of this kind of ammunition was very good. It had extremely high accuracy and controllable recoil. Of course, some people would say it. Isn't it nonsense to say that the recoil of a submachine gun is not smaller than it? The controllability is also stronger. It is a waste of time to study this ammunition for no reason. This sentence is true. However , most of the submachine gun bullets during World War II were pistol bullets. The recoil of these bullets is really small . Its effective combat distance is only about 150 meters. At this distance , there is absolutely no problem in trench warfare in World War I. Just rush into the trenches and kill for a while. Of course , the distance between the firefights in World War I is relatively long , but soldiers can also pick up long-range rifles and shoot them, so they don’t need to be used at all. To such a bullet, but by the time of World War II, with the advancement of industrial technology, the military strategy and tactics theory has undergone tremendous changes. It is no longer the era where you fire one shot and I fire one shot . The combat distance of the soldiers on both sides has been greatly shortened, with an average of 400 meters. Left and right at this distance, the so-called 98K Mosin Nagant still has a very strong lethality. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has excess power, which is far beyond the actual combat needs, and the rate of fire of these guns is not high. Well, it 's only about 10-12 rounds per minute. Don't even think about fire suppression. However, we also mentioned the theoretical distance of 150 meters for submachine guns. In actual combat , it is only 100 meters. However , there is a dynamic gap of nearly 300 meters between him and the infantry, waiting for you to rush over. Several people have thrown down several of them. Of course , some people say that they are all fools. Light machine guns make up for the lack of firepower? This idea is correct, and it is basically the same in all countries . However, the problem of light machine guns is the same as that of rifles. There is an excess of power, and this method of combat is also a great burden for logistics. When troops are equipped with rifles and submachine guns at the same time, logistics You have to prepare two kinds of ammunition , but once this new bullet is successful , it can be used in an automatic weapon. Soldiers do not need to carry two bullets and can have strong firepower , just like using a light machine gun, which can be controlled without a tripod. Firearms make up for the gap in firepower. The German Army Equipment Department quickly put this idea into practice and asked Walter and Heinel to develop a new carbine relying on new ammunition. However, this development did not go well . The rifle bullets of the 1990s were all overpowered, and the accuracy of automatic rifles could not be guaranteed in the continuous firing state, so this also confirmed that the early humans' understanding of assault rifles was too narrow. It was not until the appearance of this person that the research and development deadlock was broken. Speaking of Hugo · Schmeisser is no stranger to everyone . It is the famous German small arms designer MP-18 and MP-40 submachine guns are his masterpieces. Hugo Schmeisser creatively adopted the air-guided type after carefully evaluating the design of short rifle bullets. The automatic principle and the bolt deflecting locking successfully developed a new rifle capable of semi-automatic and fully automatic shooting. This is definitely a design that shocked the world. When people are happy to find the Führer with the blueprint, report to him and show him the Stg44 The power of the assault rifle was sternly rejected by Hitler. Speaking of which, people may be curious about such a powerful rifle. Compared with the fancy tanks in Germany, this rifle is obviously more novel and practical . It should suit his taste. His refusal may be unreasonable, and even make people think that he has a personal anger with Hugo Schmeisser , but the truth is embarrassing when we stand in the modern point of view, Hitler is absolutely stupid The firepower is also stronger , but from the point of view of the head of state, we seem to understand his decision. We must know that at the beginning of World War II, the problem of excess 7.92*57mm ammunition in Germany always existed . The thing was advertised as a substitute for a light machine gun , and Hitler was someone who had gone to the battlefield. In his knowledge, this weapon had a limited range and could not reach the standard of a light machine gun, and its ammunition consumption was comparable to that of a submachine gun. So prepare a new ammunition system and it's not an easy task, so I definitely rejected this weapon and this decision almost interfered with the progress of weapons in the whole world. Why is it almost? You have a thousand strategies and I have an old idea . The military bosses are too good. I have to admire their vision. They think that the prospect of Stg44 is really good . I am really reluctant to give up the results of 10 years of painstaking research So this group of people secretly produced a batch of firearms behind Hitler's back and put them directly into actual combat . The submachine gun number MP was approved by the head of state , and the Stg44 first entered the battlefield and immediately shined brightly. In the Battle of Kursk, the German army distributed this new rifle for the first time. The sand submachine gun is eclipsed in front of it, and the Mosin Nagant can't compare with it. In front of this weapon, the Soviet infantry no longer has any firepower advantage and can only be beaten passively . In the Normandy landing, the US military also saw the powerful firepower of the Stg44 13000 . A number of Allied soldiers were overwhelmed by this weapon, and even countless Allied troops threw away the M1 Garand, a fire stick after capturing the Stg44, and the German soldiers were full of praise for this weapon . The praise soon spread. When it came to Hitler's ears, when he found out that he had been deceived by the military's top management, Hitler was very angry , but he also knew that this weapon was too powerful. In addition , after understanding it later, he knew that the length of the ammunition was reduced by one third, and the production line did not need to be large. The range of changes finally approved the production of this weapon, but at this time it has reached the end of World War II. Even after the Battle of Berlin, most of the SS were equipped with this new rifle , but the role it can play is really limited, but the concept of automatic rifles is not . It has become one of the epoch-making achievements in the history of modern infantry. In the concept of weapons, there are really few that can be called epoch-making. The last one that can achieve this achievement is the Maxim heavy machine gun. It can be seen how excellent the Stg44 is. After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union and the United States When many countries have discovered the power of this weapon, they have begun to develop their own automatic rifles . Among them, the AK series is most affected by Stg44. Except for the different positions of the speed and slow machine and the different locking methods , this is simply carved out of a mold, but compared to However , the AK cannot be compared with the Stg44. The former cannot be equipped with optical sights , and the accuracy cannot be compared with the latter. The recoil is even more amazing. Even now, a group of people holding AK will encounter a firefight with Stg44. There is still no obvious disadvantage. However, because the advanced level of modern weapons is far ahead of the World War II period, it is really not enough to compare with modern guns, but if you are fighting modern security warfare , Stg44 can still be used improvised. It can be seen how advanced its design was back then. The sharing of this issue is over here. I like it Friends of World War II can pay attention and share more exciting content with you in the next issue. I am Schmidt . See you in the next issue.
