Type 87 Automatic Rifle, Launch!
For the next few days, the military factory was in full swing.
As Qi Wei had expected, after receiving the new blueprint, Zhang Jianguo and Li Fu were filled with great enthusiasm. They brought Qi He and the others day and night, almost without sleep or rest.
Even in his dreams, Qi Wei could hear the clanging sounds.
On the morning of the fourth day, Qi Wei was still asleep when the door was suddenly pushed open violently.
It was Qian Gousheng who rushed in.”
"What's wrong?" Qi Wei rubbed his eyes.
"The gun is made!" Qian Gousheng was extremely excited.
"Well done." Qi Wei lay down again. It was only seven in the morning. The military factory started work at 7:30. He usually got up at 7:15, so he could sleep for another 15 minutes.
This was a complete anomaly in the 1980s, when people generally woke up earlier than chickens. After all, there was a lack of entertainment in this era, and many people went to bed at night.
As for Qi Wei, he became more and more reckless the deeper into the night. This was also one of the habits that he had developed in the later generations. The later he went to bed, the better. He woke up precisely to the second.
"Why are you still sleeping? Hurry up and get up!" Qian Gousheng dragged Qi Wei up.
Qi Wei was a little depressed. He was actually not very excited because the 87 moves were just the beginning for him.
Moreover, the Type 87 was not considered outstanding in his mind. After all, there were too many guns that were better than the Type 87 in the future.
However, the enthusiasm of Qian Gousheng and the others could not be dampened. Qi Wei followed his advice and got up.
He followed Qian Gousheng to the assembly workshop. Li Fu, Qi He, and the others were all there.
Qi Wei immediately saw Li Fu holding a weird-looking gun in his hand.
It wasn't an exaggeration to call him a freak.
The machines and equipment in Workshop 7 were basically for the production of artillery shells. There were no related molds and they had to be made at the last minute.
In a hurry, he could not make a precise mold, nor could he develop a matching process. Therefore, there were even remnants of the impact pattern from the hammer on the casing of this gun. It was obvious that it was not the right size after being punched. Li Fu used the hammer to create a miracle.
There was no problem with this method of correction. It would not affect the accuracy and structural strength, but it did not look good on the outside.
In addition, after the gun parts were processed, they needed to be coated with an anti-rust layer. In the 1980s, anti-rust was basically plated with a layer of metal, and then sprayed with a layer of special anti-corrosion Matt coating.
However, there was no specialized gun paint workshop, so many places were covered in bright aluminum alloy.
In addition to the coated trigger and handle that had been removed from the 81 bar, as well as the handle and guard that had been simply and roughly cut and polished before being installed...
This spear was completely colorful and ugly to the extreme.
However, Li Fu was intoxicated by such an ugly thing and held it carefully in his hand. Qi Wei even suspected that his child was not so devout when he was born.
Not only Li Fu, Qi He, Gou Sheng, and Si Ya were also intoxicated.
"Qi Wei, take a look. This is the gun we made.”Gousheng said nervously.
Gou Sheng's voice woke Li Fu up. When he saw Qi Wei, he immediately handed the gun over. There was anticipation and worry on his face.
He had tried his best to follow the blueprint, but some of the craftsmanship was indeed not up to standard, and he lacked a lot of equipment.
Qi Wei didn't stand on ceremony and directly took the gun from Li Fu's hand. He weighed it in his hand. Not bad, it wasn't heavy.
If the materials on the blueprint were strictly followed, the weight of the Type 87 would eventually be controlled at 2.4 kilograms. For a rifle with a length of 930mm, this weight was terrifyingly light.
Of course, the seven workshops on the blueprint couldn't meet the requirements, so many parts and structures were directly used for 81 bars. This resulted in the entire gun weighing about 3.5 kilograms.
He pulled the bolt and pulled the trigger. The firing pin sounded crisp and the trigger was smooth. It felt good.
The only problem was that the recoil spring was too tight, which required a lot of force to load. This was because this gun used the recoil spring of the Type 81, and the Type 81 bar was longer than the Type 87.
This was also a small problem. He just needed to adjust it or change the spring later.
Overall, other than the ugly appearance of this gun, the feel of it was not bad.
"Not bad!" Qi Wei nodded and gave a high evaluation. He looked left and right but did not see Zhang Jianguo.
"Where's technician Zhang?" he asked curiously.
Zhang Jianguo had also put in a lot of effort for this gun. Those molds and whatnot were all made by him and Li Fu. There was no reason for him to be absent at such a critical moment.
Li Fu instantly heaved a sigh of relief when he was able to obtain Qi Wei's approval.
"Old Zhang reported to the higher-ups and requested to test the ammunition, but it hasn't arrived in two days. He went to ask what happened. After all, before we send it for inspection, we need to have the factory's self-inspection report.”he said excitedly.
Qi Wei nodded. Now that the gun had passed the design acceptance, the next step was to test it in the factory. This was also an essential step in testing new guns.
"Master Zhang should be back soon, right?”Dog Feed couldn't hold it in anymore.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jianguo appeared at the door of the workshop. Li Fu could not wait to welcome him."How is it? Old Zhang, when will the bullets arrive?"
Just as he took a step forward, Li Fu's figure froze on the spot. He stared at Zhang Jianguo's face hesitantly.""What's wrong, Old Zhang? What happened?"
Zhang Jianguo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He gritted his teeth and said,"My application has been rejected!"
