RPG rocket launcher?
Zhao Tianming was stunned for a moment before his eyes lit up with surprise. He asked,"Factory Manager Su, did you create a new weapon again?”
Su Wen said,"It can be considered as a shoulder-carried mortar. It can be used to anti-tank, attack blockhouses, destroy the enemy's heavy firepower points, and so on. It's much more useful than the Flying Thunder Cannon!"”
Hearing Su Wen's description, Zhao Tianming said with great anticipation,"Manager Su, I'm really looking forward to your RPG rocket launcher!”
"With such a weapon, wouldn't it be easy for us to deal with the Japanese's tanks and bunkers?”
"Yes, you can say that.”
Looking at the machines in front of him, Su Wen felt that it was not too difficult to create an RPG rocket launcher.
Coupled with the current military foundation of the Eighth Route Army, it was completely possible to carry out mass production to a certain extent, but the production would not be too high.
After all, the Eighth Route Army's military system was not complete, and the industrial system was not developed.
This was something that gave Su Wen a headache.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
He still had to think of a way to develop the basic industries of the Eighth Route Army…What a headache.
After waiting for more than a month for the equipment, Su Wen did not idle around. Instead, he began to build the relevant parts for the RPG rocket launcher.
After the equipment provided by the overseas Chinese compatriots arrived, Su Wen immediately began to manufacture the RPG rocket launcher.
According to Su Wen's insight, the RPG rocket launcher was about 95 centimeters long and weighed about 7 kilograms. Its maximum range was more than 300 meters and its armor piercing thickness was more than 400 millimeters.
The RPG rocket launcher consisted of a launcher, a sight, a handle, a guard plate, a sheath at both ends, a grip, a launching mechanism, a firing mechanism, and a safety device.
Due to the technical limitations of the Eighth Route Army, the launcher was made of ordinary steel. The front end of the barrel and the exhaust pipe had a rocket positioning gap, and the rear had a protective plate to prevent sand or debris from blocking the exhaust pipe when it accidentally touched the ground.
The design was exquisite.
The upper part of the launch tube was equipped with a quasi constellation and a watch ruler seat, and the lower part was equipped with a handle fixing protruding wall and a needle seat chamber. The left side of the tube body was an optical sight fixing plate, and the right side was a fixed sheath belt and a strap ring.
The wooden guard was fixed by the guard hoop, which played a role in heat insulation.
The firing mechanism is located in the handle, and the firing mechanism is composed of a rebound needle assembly located in the needle seat chamber.
The safety mechanism was used to lock the trigger to prevent a misfire.
In addition to the mechanical sights, RPGs could also be equipped with a ranging optical scope in the later stages, which allowed the infantry to more effectively determine the distance of the target. At the same time, it corrected the impact of the target's speed and wind on the trajectory, making the shooting more accurate.
However, the 8th Route Army could not make optical sights for ranging, so they could only use mechanical sights and magnifying lenses to solve the problem.
Of course, if the Eighth Route Army's military foundation was developed, the RPG rocket launcher could also be equipped with a low-light scope and an infrared night vision scope.
Due to the use of a lever and a spring in the firing mechanism, and the corresponding change in the structure of the safety device, the trigger could automatically be in a safe state before the exhaust pipe component and the barrel were combined in place.
In short, the RPG rocket launcher was definitely a guerrilla artifact that could greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army.
Su Wen was now the deputy factory manager and could mobilize more resources to manufacture RPG rocket launchers.
In the next few days, Su Wen spent all his time fiddling with the components of the RPG rocket launcher.
Previously, the biggest problem was the quick-ignition gunpowder. Now, with these equipment and machines, the problem of the quick-ignition gunpowder could be solved.
After a few days of tinkering, the world's first RPG rocket launcher appeared in the Taihang Mountain Munitions Factory.
In the Taihang Mountain Munitions Factory.
Su Wen was carrying an RPG rocket launcher while Zhao Tianming, Chen Zheng, and the other technicians and researchers from the Munitions Factory were watching from the side.
They wanted to see how powerful the RPG rocket launcher was.
Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Their gazes landed on Su Wen.
There was a bunker 200 meters in front of Su Wen that was specially used for testing.
Su Wen wanted to use this RPG rocket launcher to destroy the bunker in front of him…
