Recently, China Navy Network published a photo. A special warfare player has a new rifle. From the appearance, this rifle is obviously not the familiar Type 95 or Type 03, but a large part with suspicious fire control system, which may be the legendary one? Type 05 strategic rifle? .

? Type 05 strategic rifle? In fact, it is a joke of domestic military fans, and it can also be said to be a legend. Over the years, although the legend of this rifle has appeared on the Internet from time to time, because there is no public news, military fans lament: Can't the confidentiality of guns exceed J-20? ? Good strategic rifle! According to scattered information, this rifle is similar to the ideal individual combat weapon of XM-29, and it is the first dual-caliber infantry light weapon in China. The public display of the special warfare team members of the South China Sea Fleet shows that at least a small number of Type 05 rifles are available for trial use.

Since the appearance of hot weapons, rifles have been the main weapons of infantry in various countries. For a soldier, besides individual rations, the most important thing is probably the gun in his hand. Rifles have also developed from manual and semi-automatic to fully automatic, but generally speaking, rifles are no different from those of the last century. With the development of modern battlefield, all countries feel the limitations of traditional rifles. The main power of rifle is limited, only point killing ability, but not surface pressing ability and bending ability. During the Vietnam War, rifles made up for this shortcoming by firing grenades, but they didn't solve the problem at all.

The public paper "Optoelectronic Intelligent Fire Control System for Individual Weapon" published the concrete composition and performance of the Optoelectronic Intelligent Fire Control System for Individual Weapon in China. The domestic OICW fire control system includes aiming telescope, image sensor, thermal imaging, laser rangefinder, fire control computer, speed and angle encoder, text information display device, inductive binding interface and power supply. Its performance requirements are as follows: tracking fixed and moving targets with aiming distance of 50- 1700 meters, automatically measuring target distance, automatically measuring target speed, automatically calculating shooting parameters, planning automatic binding distance scale and azimuth advance, and correcting the influence of meteorological conditions on external trajectory. It has the advantages of all-weather combat, rapid measurement of target distance, intuitive image display and rapid fire control calculation.

The fire control system of the early OICW gun made in China was very large. However, in the following years, the OICW-like gun in China changed obviously and developed into the present one. Type 05 strategic rifle? . Based on all the information, the Type 05 rifle consists of a 5.8 mm rifle and a 20 mm Grenade, with a total length of less than 0.95 m and a weight of less than 5 kg. The Type 05 rifle is obviously different from the original sample gun. First, the supported structure is restored. In the double caliber configuration, grenades are on top and assault rifles are on the bottom. However, unlike the original sample guns of XM-29 and OICW made in China, the magazine of Grenade launcher was not found in Type 05 rifle. This shows that grenades, like old rifles, are designed with manual loading and single shot. The benefits of doing so can be seen from the weight. The Type 05 rifle weighs only 5 kilograms, which is much lighter than the American XM-29. It has better portability and can meet the weight requirements of our army for light weapons.

The last question is, the Type 05 rifle is equipped with troops, but it is a large-scale equipment. Are all infantry classes in the whole army equipped? This needs observation. Although the fire control system combined with the long-barrel Grenade launcher, the infantry gained unprecedented firepower. With the current level of electronic industry in China, the fire control system can be made reliable and cheap enough. However, this kind of weapon still has the bottleneck of energy supply. The storage capacity of existing lithium batteries is too small, so it is difficult to find charging facilities on the battlefield. Soldiers need a lot of batteries to support the use of advanced fire control systems. In fact, it is special on the battlefield. You may have to carry water, which is the fundamental reason why countries, like weapons, are backward in individual integrated combat systems.
