Domestic sniper rifles with poor accuracy are equipped with foreign professional sights.

As we all know, the concept of sniper rifle and "sniper" in China started very late. Before the self-defense counterattack, only soldiers with excellent shooting performance were used as "sharpshooters" in the army, and only a more accurate Type 56 semi-automatic rifle (in other words, the gun of the army was in good condition) was equipped with a sight.

In the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, our army copied the SVD sniper rifle equipped by Vietnam and aided by the Soviet Union into a 79/85 sniper rifle that is still equipped by some military and police. At this point, in our military police, various ideas, techniques and tactics derived from "sniper" began to develop. However, due to the backward technical level and thinking, there is no sniper rifle in China that can reach the world advanced level.

▲CS/LR-4 sniper rifle

In recent years, due to the improvement of technical level and thinking vision, domestic sniper weapons close to the world's advanced level have begun to appear, including CS/LR-4 sniper rifles, which have been widely equipped in military and police everywhere. Its design concept and performance level are close to the international advanced level, which is a microcosm of the progress of domestic sniper weapons. However, while the domestic gun-making technology is progressing, the precision optics technology is relatively backward. The most intuitive performance of supporting firearms is the lack of accuracy, aiming ability and magnification of the crosshair of the sight.

▲ Type 88 sniper rifle

The 88-type sniper rifle sight widely equipped by the People's Liberation Army has the problem that the high magnification does not match the range and trajectory, resulting in false light. Similarly, the original sight of CS/LR-4, which has the highest accuracy in active service, also has the problem that the frame does not match the shooting baseline. However, combat troops have very realistic equipment needs, especially the frontline troops under great pressure. Therefore, purchasing some internationally advanced products is also an effective way to deal with it.

Air Force Raytheon Commando

The Raytheon Commando of the China Air Force team who participated in this year's "Blade -20 18" international sniper competition brought the CS/LR-4 sniper rifle made in the United States with the XPS elite tactical sight of bushnell, which is also one of the highlights of the competition for China.

As the strongest Raytheon Commando of China Air Force Special Forces, the use of advanced world-class sight in weapons also reflects its high requirements for shooting skills and tactics. In this international sniper competition, Raytheon Commando, as a strong team, has also achieved excellent results. I believe this is not only because of the high tactical literacy of the players, but also because of the more advanced weapons and equipment.

▲ Modified 88 sniper

With the deepening of reform in integration of defense and civilian technologies, the modernization, modification and upgrading of military and police weapons have also become the business direction of some private enterprises. The above picture shows the upgrade kit of Type 88 sniper rifle developed by Mr. Li Jiahao for Guangdong police, equipped with an Austrian Swarovski OPTIK Z6i sight and a continuous magnifying glass.

Compared with the original dovetail slot of Type 88 sniper rifle, as a universal link platform, the upgraded picatinny rail can carry more aiming equipment. Compared with the original white-light sight, the equipment of traditional optical manufacturer Swarovski can also obtain higher shooting accuracy and more scientific aiming division. It can be seen that the local police attach importance to and invest in the construction of modern anti-terrorism sniper operations.

▲ Changchun and Foshan Police Camp Open Day

On 20 17, during the police camp open day in Changchun and Foshan, the special police of the two places exhibited Schmidt &; Bender PM2 range CS/LR-4 sniper rifle. Schmitt & ampBENDER is known as the top manufacturer of precision optical equipment in the world, and its various optical sighting products are equipped by powerful military and police departments in various countries, and the products are favored by users. It can also be seen from the open days of police camps in the two places that it is a trend to equip special police officers in big cities with more advanced sights in order to fight terrorism and the pressure of public security.

▲ A special police shooting range test.

The picture above shows the Type 85 sniper rifle, equipped with ACP MV85 adapter and KAHLES sight, which is being tested at the special police shooting range. As an old gun on the battlefield, the 85-type sniper rifle is still equipped in the second-line troops of the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police and many police departments.

With the increasing pressure of anti-terrorism and public security, it is obvious that these departments also need to update their equipment. However, it is a problem that the scrapped guns are not consumed and the cost brought by a large number of ammunition stocks is not bad. The original performance of the 85 sniper rifle is not bad. The original sight fixed 3.5 times is obviously not suitable for urban anti-terrorism operations. KAHLES sight, as the aiming equipment purchased by the US military for a long time, has stood the test of war for a long time and is a very good choice, which is obviously beneficial to improving the combat capability of the user troops.

A powerful sniper weapon system needs not only a high-precision and reliable gun module, but also a set of optical sighting equipment suitable for the ballistic performance of the gun itself. In the case that the technical level of its own products is not enough to meet the needs of users, it is the effective best policy to maximize the technical and tactical level and improve the combat capability of combat troops by purchasing world-class equipment.
