Chapter 1107 Yes!RPG
"Hmm... it looks like a thick bamboo pole." Nightingale leaned over and asked, "What is it called?"
"RPG" Roland raised his lips, "Ancestor of RPG."
"RPG..." Nightingale repeated awkwardly, "What a strange name. Is this the code name of someone? To commemorate the ancestor who invented this weapon?"
Roland smiled and shook his head, "It has many names and countless forms in the dream world, but this name is the most widely spread. Because it is so popular, a group of believers have emerged who believe in it, and even gradually A kind of religious pan-RPG religion has evolved."
"Like legendary weapons like the twin swords of salvation and destruction?" Nightingale suddenly became interested, "Is it so powerful?"
The so-called twin swords of salvation and destruction are sacred objects described in an epic biography passed down from the hands of ancient witches. Before the first war of divine will, there seemed to be a fanatical organization that wanted to find it. Although it is just a story, there are some similarities between the two.
"If you reach the level of pan-RPG, you can indeed think so." After all, those who breathe fire from their butts belong to this category, and they will undoubtedly contribute to maintaining world peace. "But its ancestors are much different."
"But you can't jump directly to the level of RPG and pan-RPG, so you can only start from the ancestors of RPG and slowly improve, right?" Nightingale showed a look of sudden realization.
"That's absolutely correct." Roland couldn't help but feel very pleased. After years of exposure, someone could finally keep up with him. "Your understanding is not bad either."
"Of course, the development of things is always progressive, isn't it?" Nightingale threw a piece of dried fish in her mouth proudly, "Just like the black ribbon, wife, etc. you sometimes mentioned...isn't it the glider and the The progressive form of the stone ship? I have learned a lot from following you for so long."
"Uh..." Roland coughed twice, "Let's forget about that."
Whether it was the Wangbeipo outpost extraction battle or the Ta No. 1 night attack battle, there was a common problem, that is, it was difficult for ordinary soldiers to face the high-level devils head-on and pose a big enough threat. Although according to the Federation's intelligence, high-level devils have more than one ability, and there are various types, with no obvious rules. But for now, using barriers created by magic to resist harm seems to be their inherent ability.
Perhaps this is just a coincidence, or it may be the optimal solution obtained by the enemy in a long battle. Devils who do not have this ability have long been turned into ashes. No matter what, it’s always good to prepare for the worst.
This kind of barrier is similar to Savi's ability, but it can only protect the surface of the body, and its endurance is limited. If you stand in place for a squad to practice target, and hit multiple targets at the same time, it will probably last only a few seconds.
The problem is that the enemy is not the target.
Assuming that the infantry squad of the First Army attacks the high-level devils first, the target will react after being hit with one or two shots at most. After that, whether to hide or wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack will be detrimental to the former.
The people who were originally responsible for filling this link were the Divine Punishment Witches. They were born to suppress high-level devils. Not only did they possess power comparable to that of extraordinary beings, but they could also suppress the ability of their hands. It could be said that they were tit-for-tat existences. However, as the war progressed, the high-level devil who was supposed to be the commander-in-chief of the army had repeatedly appeared on the front lines of the battle. According to this trend, more than 300 God's Punishment Witches were not enough.
He needed a weapon that could effectively increase the firepower of individual soldiers.
The RPG looks beautiful, but the name of the rocket-propelled grenade is destined to make it difficult for Neverwinter to mass-produce this legendary weapon in a short period of time. Even a simple rocket engine contains fuel and a combustion chamber. The technical content of the power system is not low. If Anna is still relied on to make and debug it, it will lose its original intention.
So remove the rocket boost and leave only one grenade.
It is the recoilless individual grenade, the ancestor of RPG.
The most famous masterpiece in history is Iron Fist.
Although many people refer to this type of weapon as a rocket launcher, in fact they are two branches of weapons. The biggest difference is that the rocket launcher fires rockets and has its own power source. It can be launched normally without a barrel, such as The famous 107 rocket launcher has a dirt bag on the ground and can be ignited with dry batteries. The accuracy is pretty good.
The Iron Fist and RPG are recoilless guns that require a barrel to create recoil. If they are set on fire in an open space, they will just spin in place and will not fly out even from a distance of one meter. Especially for the latter, the rocket at the end of the warhead is mainly used to increase the range and improve accuracy. The power required for the launch is still provided by the propellant.
Compared with its descendants that are constantly evolving, the biggest advantage of the Iron Fist is that it is simple. The barrel is a straight cylinder, the warhead is pressed from a thin iron sheet, and the propellant is black powder, which is very suitable for mass production.
Of course, Roland does not intend to copy the Iron Fist, because its simplicity is also its biggest shortcoming, such as short range, poor accuracy, low power, etc., which are all unbearable flaws. As a learner of history, he naturally knows that some minimal changes can greatly improve the performance of weapons.
For example, installing a gourd-shaped Laval nozzle at the end of the launch tube can accelerate the ejected gas from subsonic to supersonic speed, thereby increasing the recoil momentum and increasing the range of the warhead.
Adding a grip, sight, and wooden outer sleeve to the barrel can effectively improve the shooting experience and improve shooting accuracy.
The missile body can also be equipped with a tail made of mild steel, which will automatically open and rotate with the missile body after flying out to increase its stability.
In addition, if the front section of the warhead is punched into a hollow inverted cone, the explosive energy can be gathered forward, forming an energy-gathering armor-breaking effect, greatly increasing its destructive power against the magic barrier.
The above improvement methods are all within the industrial technology level of Neverwinter City.
Roland closed the drawing, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
It is true that even if the First Army is equipped with a large number of individual grenades, it is impossible to completely offset the advantages of high-level devils, but ordinary soldiers at least have the capital to at least compete with their opponents. No matter how strong the enemy's maneuverability is, they can shoot from the blind spot of the perspective. HEAT grenades are still deadly. As long as one hits, the ending will be completely different.
This also means that with just a little training, any ordinary person can have the means to kill high-level devils. In addition, "armored units" such as spider demons and giant skeletons will not leave the infantry team helpless. The above expenses are only a small cluster of gunpowder and half a steel ingot.
This is really a good deal, isn't it?
