Recently, the dog saw that many people are recommending movies during the New Year, as a military UP can not think of a good recommendation, so the film and gunfire series that have fallen for a long time are moved out, this article and everyone introduces the old movie of 1987: full metal shell, this film I believe you have seen, but its classic degree does not prevent everyone from watching it more than a few times.
First explain the movie name all metal shell, Full Metal Jacket, which is actually the style of the common military bullet, if you call the bullet, it will generally be translated into an all-metal armor shell
For example, the 7.62x51mm M80 ordinary bullet above is a standard all-metal armored shell, the shell of the warhead is a layer of copper, the inside is lead, and the stern configuration. The film adopts this name on the one hand, the bullet name is cool enough, and on the other hand, it may also show that soldiers are like FMJ warheads, with a harder copper shell on the outside, but the inside is still a weak lead (human nature).
Well let's start panning the gun:
M14 Rifle:
The opening era of the movie is the Marun recruit battalion in 1967, when the US military has begun to replace the M14 with M16, but the new barracks are eligible for new guys.
Many people say that the M14 gun is a good gun, but it has met the wrong opponent at the wrong time and place, and I object to this statement. There are many reasons, such as the length of 1126 is not suitable for entering and leaving the vehicle; the use of full-power rifle bullets is not suitable for standing, crouching automatic shooting; the experience of World War II is that small arms are engaged within 300 meters, and the power of full-power rifle bullets is excessive; the use of traditional steel and wood structures leads to excessive gun quality; no pistol grip; the structure is too traditional; some details are too complex, increasing cost and not too useful, and so on.
Therefore, the M14 is absolutely unqualified as a standard rifle, and the reason why it will be taken out and changed to Mk14 is purely waste reuse. By the way, the M14 has a fully automatic lock, such as the red circle below this place is the M14's fast and slow machine knob.
However, in general, an infantry squad of the Marine Corps is divided into three fire groups, and each fire group will have an M14 with this fast and slow machine knob, which can be fully automatic, and others can only be honest and semi-automatic. The sad fat M14 below has no knobs.
M16 Rifle:
The above picture is the Colt 604, also known as the Air Force M16, which is the earliest M16 officially equipped with the U.S. Military, which can be seen from the three characteristics of the tapered three-pronged flame suppressor, the semi-fence reinforcement on the right side of the magazine shaft on the magazine release button, and the lack of auxiliary push handle.
The above picture of these M16 is a fake, but very realistic, is the Japanese MCG (Model Gun Corporation) company to build a prop gun, all metal, can fire a special fire shell (can not use live ammunition), we can see the auxiliary push handle and the real gun is not the same, this is the main identification feature of the MCG M16. In fact, many American movies use MCG's model guns.
MCG's auxiliary push handle details, in fact, this thing is used to link the upper and lower receivers.
The one on the right in the picture above is the XM16E1, which belongs to the Army's optional experimental M16, which is characterized by the true auxiliary push handle on the right. Because the M16 is not followed by pulling the handle, if there is a mud staining phenomenon, the bolt must be pulled back by the spring reset, but sometimes the spring is not forced, so the Army believes that a direct bolt reset method is needed. In fact, this device is not very useful, but the M16A1 and later AR15 series still retain this feature.
Vz.58 assault rifle
Amazingly, there is no AK and SKS in this movie, but Czechoslovakia Vz.58. Although the Czech Republic did provide NATO with a lot of weapons in that year, vz.58 was not so popular in Vietnam.
(Pictured is the Viet Cong using vz.58)
Vz.58 looks a bit like an AK, but the structure is completely different. The AK is a long-stroke piston + turn-bolt latch, the Vz.58 is a short piston + ferrule swing, and the trigger assembly is completely different, so the two guns are completely fine.
M60 Universal Machine Gun:
The M60 is a general-purpose machine gun developed by the US military inspired by mg42 in World War II, the gas structure borrows from the FG42, and the ammunition supply agency borrows the MG42, which is considered to be an Ashkenazi son.
But the gun failed, for example, the bipod that was thinned to lose weight was brittle, but even so, the balance of the whole gun was still very bad, and it was very uncomfortable to carry. Although the barrel can be changed, but the barrel is not mentioned, must be replaced with asbestos gloves, and the barrel and the gas pipe are integrated, have to be changed together; it can not even adjust the amount of gas conduction, increasing the unreliability of the complex environment, hey ~ in some ways the M60 is not as good as the ZB26 machine gun.
M2HB：
12.7mm destroyed the world, the small arms of the US empire represent, can dismantle the wall, can dismantle the car, can dismantle people, the structure is mature and reliable, the maintenance is complex and tired, the hundred-year-old mother, the century-old quality guarantee, this gun I will not talk much about.
M1911A1
The same is the representative of the US imperialist light weapons, which has been talked about many times before, and I don't know what else to say.
M79 grenade launcher
The grenade launcher using the principle of high and low pressure, lightweight, precise, and face-to-face killing, can be understood as an evolved version of the grenadier. But the launcher itself has little technical content, and the essence is all in the 40mm grenade.
This cargo appeared to replace the previous inaccurate and recoiled muzzle grenade launcher, although the M79 was later replaced by the gun-mounted M203 grenade launcher due to its occupation of an infantry formation.
M72 LAW
Modern single soldier barrel his father, use up to lose, do not occupy the establishment, 200mm broken armor frankly afraid, 66mm warhead building to see the explosion, fiberglass body barrel is not tired, rocket tail flame attention behind.
