In modern warfare, which firearms are more suitable?

For modern warfare, firearms are a topic that can never be escaped. Whether it is an assault rifle or a sniper rifle, their performance in movies and TV series is also impressive. So if some special scenes If soldiers can only use firearms for close combat, which firearms are more suitable?

To explain this problem, we first need to start from two aspects:

First: close combat at a distance of 3-4 meters.

Second: close hand-to-hand combat.

Although the difference between the two is very small, there are very big changes in the use of firearms. First of all, in close combat of 3-4 meters, soldiers can use shotguns or submachine guns to fire at close range. Hand-to-hand combat was even more brutal, and the enemy could only be fought with bayonets.

First of all, let’s talk about close combat: As a representative of self-defense long guns, shotguns are very practical and offensive. Compared with close guard weapons and pistols, shotguns have the advantage of There is no need to deliberately aim, as long as you aim at the target at close range, you can achieve the killing effect, and it is very powerful. Basically, as long as the person hit by the shotgun is either dead or injured, while the pistol may require continuous shooting to kill the target. Therefore, the shotgun is very powerful in terms of shooting power and attack range. Therefore, in close combat, the shotgun can kill the opponent without aiming at all. Even the opponent can be knocked down with one shot even if he is wearing a body armor.

After talking about the advantages, let’s talk about the disadvantages: There are two main disadvantages of the shotgun. One is that the shotgun is heavy and has strong recoil, so it requires people with certain arm strength to use it. The other is that the shotgun is heavy and has strong recoil. Second, most shotguns are semi-automatic. They need to be fired once to load the chamber, and they do not have an advantage in terms of rate of fire. Although military-type shotguns are also fully automatic, the popularity of the equipment is low, so in close combat, Not suitable for fighting multiple enemies.

Now let’s take a look at the submachine gun.

As the king of close-range combat, a Woods submachine gun can kill a large area of ??enemies at close range. Due to the speed of fire, the submachine gun is very powerful in both fire suppression and close-range killing. More importantly, What's more, you don't need to aim in close combat. You can easily defeat the target in a sudden burst.

Among them, the MP5 submachine gun not only has a fast rate of fire, but also has ridiculous accuracy. If you are proficient in using it, you can easily deal with enemies at close range.

But the shortcomings are also obvious. Because the submachine gun fires too fast, if the user is not proficient in mastering it, the user is likely to shoot out all the bullets as soon as he pulls the trigger. This is very fatal in close combat. of.

After talking about close combat, let’s talk about hand-to-hand combat.

As the saying goes, an inch longer means an inch stronger. When fighting with a bayonet, the long gun has the advantage. For example, my country's early Type 56 semi-automatic rifle has a body of 1025 mm. If a bayonet is installed, it can reach 001260 mm. When fighting with a bayonet, if the opponent is holding other weapons, the advantage will suddenly be It's obvious.

During World War I, bayonet fighting was definitely a scene that could be seen everywhere on the battlefield. It was precisely because of the bayonet tactics in World War I that Japan’s Type 38 rifles in World War II were more inclined to improve their advantages on bayonets. So if it's a hand-to-hand fight, a bayonet is far more powerful than a dagger or sword.

If you really have to engage in a bayonet fight, you must first rely on the length advantage to thrust. If the opponent's bayonet is more advantageous, then you can only use a pistol for self-defense. After all, the battlefield is You don't talk about morality. Either you die or I die. When you are in a weak situation, you must find a way to kill the enemy and survive.

Some people may complain when they see this: Japanese devils will retreat first when they fight with bayonets, and they have the spirit of Bushido.

If you also think this way, then you have really been deceived by those public intellectuals.

First of all, it is not some bullshit samurai spirit that the Japanese soldiers retract bullets when fighting with bayonets, but because the Type 38 rifle has very strong penetrating power. In order not to accidentally injure their comrades, the Japanese military specifically asked the Japanese army to Soldiers retracting bullets when fighting bayonets has nothing to do with the bullshit bushido spirit, but don't think that the Japanese devils are particular about it.

If he really paid attention to these things, he would not kill so many innocent people, nor would he kill prisoners of war at will. If you see someone advocating the Japanese Bushido spirit during World War II again, you must tell the truth Tell him, and give him a big mouth to wake him up.
