The individual weapon QTS-11 strategic rifle has an almost perfect design

The strategic rifle is meant to be an ideal individual weapon. What is an ideal weapon? An ideal weapon is nothing more than being comfortable in your hand, easy to use, and can be modified into various models you like. The concept originally proposed by the United States was to combine an assault rifle and a grenade launcher into one, giving it high-precision and large-scale lethality.

Not only can it deal with tactical targets, it can even kill strategic targets, so it is called a "strategic rifle." China's strategic rifle has been successfully developed and has been equipped with the Marine Corps performing escort and anti-piracy missions in the Gulf of Aden. When set for an air explosion, the killing radius is about 7.7 meters and the killing area reaches 186 square meters.

It can be said that it is a small cannon in the hands of soldiers. Its combat effectiveness is very powerful, but this gun cannot replace other rifles. The QTS-11 individual soldier integrated combat system, often referred to as "Type 11" by troops and military enthusiasts, was developed by the 208th Research Institute of the China Ordnance Industry. It consists of a 5.8mm assault rifle and a 20mm grenade launcher.

The total length of the gun is less than 0.95 meters and the weight is less than 5 kilograms. The strategic rifle consists of four parts: a computer fire control system, an optoelectronic sighting system, an intelligent grenade launcher and a rifle. It uses programmable grenades and advanced comprehensive Optoelectronic systems. The design goal is to develop an assault rifle and grenade launcher in one, using the same firing mechanism.

On this basis, programmed smart ammunition can also be used to kill targets within fortifications or effectively kill the enemy across the board. The grenade has a range of 800 meters and a grenade weight of 85 grams. When hitting a target 800 meters away, the flight time is 4.72 seconds. When the air explosion is set, the killing radius is about 7.7 meters and the killing area reaches 186 square meters. It is really a weapon in the hands of our soldiers. Cannon in hand.

Especially combined with the computer fire control system and the electro-optical sighting system, the accuracy of shooting is greatly improved, and the enemy can be killed accurately at an ultra-long distance. In order to improve accuracy, this is also the world's first rifled grenade launcher, leading the world.

As the firepower subsystem of the individual soldier integrated combat system, this domestic OICW is a rifle, grenade, and shotgun weapon in one, and can fire 5.8 mm bullets and 20 mm air burst grenades. The 20mm caliber has entered the category of "cannon". When it comes to OICW, we must talk about the United States, which considers itself the big brother. The United States is also stepping up its research and development of this weapon system.

In the field of small arms, China has always followed the footsteps of the West and rarely has its own creativity. However, so far, the U.S. OICW plan has not been successful. The most important reason is that the designed weapons are too heavy and too heavy. It's awesome, and the rifle has many problems. It weighs more than 8 kilograms, which is heavier than a squad machine gun.

The grenade launcher had to be made independent, and it withstood the test of fire on the Afghan battlefield. However, with such a heavy weight, even tall American soldiers could not bear to use it. Therefore, the so-called strategic rifles of the United States eventually Let's just let it go. It seems that the United States still needs to continue to work on this kind of weapon.

On the information battlefield, a soldier equipped with the system is equivalent to a data communication node, and his combat effectiveness will be geometrically amplified. Being equipped with my country's QTS-11 strategic rifle system is undoubtedly the icing on the cake. The system allows a small team to easily engage ten times as many opponents.

The technology of the QTS11 individual soldier integrated combat system is more advanced than the American XM25. It can automatically aim and correct, basically ensuring a 100% hit rate, which not only improves the hit rate, but also saves soldiers' physical energy. However, the cost of this gun is very high, especially the price of the intelligent system in it. As a result, the entire gun costs hundreds of thousands. It cannot completely replace the status of other cost-effective guns. Therefore, it cannot fundamentally shake the existing automatic guns. The role of rifles in the military.
