Chapter 1605 Original Factory Design (Part 2)
Just try it, who is afraid of whom?
Head Bai smiled and bent over to hug him, but he didn't estimate the weight well and almost fell to his waist, but he still had a smile on his face, and shouted behind him: "Quick! Quick! Send it to the shooting range, first!" Try the feeling!"
Leader Bai was not the only one who was elated, several base executives who received the news also hurried over, wanting to see the Gatling machine gun shooting with their own eyes. In the past, everyone could only see it in movies and documentaries. Occasionally, some American products were obtained in China and they would not be equipped to the base. Now they can finally get started.
However, when they arrived at the shooting range, General Liu and the others realized that if you want to enjoy shooting, you have to honestly load the belt before shooting, which is not a coincidence at all. This is called if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight; if you want to shoot a machine gun, you must install a belt.
Fortunately, when Guo Tailai came up with the design of PKP, he had already made hand-cranked or motor-mounted ammunition chain equipment. You just need to arrange the bullets in a certain order, and the machine will automatically be driven by the hand-cranked or motor. Put on the bullet chains one by one.
If it is a general-purpose machine gun or heavy machine gun that used a belt before, the maximum theoretical rate of fire will not exceed 1,000 rounds per minute, and a single-barreled machine gun does not need a particularly long belt. But this machine gun can’t do it. The commonly used 250-round short ammunition belt can be fired at the fastest speed of more than two seconds. Even if it is a chain with a length of 1,000 rounds, it only takes ten seconds. If you want to have fun, you can only wear a lot of them.
Guo Tailai was on the side, and had already fixed one of them to the patrol car together with the vehicle platform. The machine gun shooting position on the roof, as long as it was installed.
"By the way, isn't there a Black Hawk at the base? Where is it?" Guo Tailai asked his senior sister while installing it on the test vehicle: "I also made two helicopter brackets, which can be fixed on the helicopter without hindering personnel. The kind of up and down, install it and test it?"
"That Black Hawk doesn't belong to the base." Zhao Yanyan replied regretfully, "It was just borrowed from the base for a certain period of time for testing and drills. Most of the time, those Black Hawks were performing humanitarian missions on the plateau."
"Then what kind of helicopters are there in the base now?" Guo Tailai was also helpless, but he had no good solution. The fundamental reason why the batch of Black Hawk helicopters have been in service and the Americans have been able to provide spare parts is because they are a batch of aircraft that are said to be civilian and perform humanitarian missions, and they cannot always be used in the base.
"You can call in a helicopter to test it." Zhao Yanyan quickly replied, "But you also know that that kind of helicopter needs certain modifications."
"Then simply modify it." Guo Tailai didn't care about this. What he cared about was that domestic helicopters had six-tube Vulcan cannons that could be used to cover the ground. This was the fundamental purpose.
When Guo Tailai and his senior sister were installing, the head of Bai Tuan couldn't help but started shooting. Instead of using the vehicle-mounted and airborne platforms, it is directly fixed on the tripod of a heavy machine gun on the ground for shooting.
Turn on the power, buzzing, and the sound of the motor idling. This is the characteristic of this machine gun when it is started. Afterwards, Captain Bai pulled the trigger, and there was a continuous sound of rattling in a line, and a dense cloud of smoke and dust rose from the half-mountain opposite the shooting range.
With a rate of fire of up to 6,000 rounds per minute, the 1,000-round ammunition chain was fired in just ten seconds. No matter how Chief Bai pulled the trigger, only the motor was left idling.
This feeling of rising up in an instant and then falling back in ten seconds is really uncomfortable, but in that short ten seconds, I feel like a god of war, gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas.
A living creature would definitely not be able to stop a hundred bullets per second. No matter what kind of living creature stood in front of the muzzle of the gun, it would end up being torn to pieces. Think about it, if there is a group of enemies charging towards the machine gun position on the opposite side, what would it feel like?
Despite the tripod, the recoil is not low. There is no way, the law of conservation of momentum, so many high-speed projectiles fired in a short period of time, there must be a strong recoil, and the recoil is still very continuous. This is also one of the fundamental reasons why individual soldiers can't play this thing well. Even if you have the physical strength to lift it up, the recoil when shooting is extremely difficult to control.
"Sweet!" The rotation of the gun barrel stopped slowly, and the head of the group Bai uttered a very enjoyable cry: "This is called bullet washing!"
"Uncle Bai!" Guo Tailai stopped while looking at the car next to him, and smiled at Captain Bai, "Set the rate of fire to the lowest and keep shooting for one minute, that will be more enjoyable!"
Except for multi-barreled machine guns, other machine guns have never been able to continuously fire a thousand rounds, at most it is intermittently fired in bursts of thirty to fifty rounds, in order to obtain continuous firepower, and the gap between shots can also cool down the barrel. But the six-barrel Vulcan cannon is not so troublesome. The six barrels are used in turn, and each barrel has an average of one-sixth of the number of bullets. Continuous shooting is not a dream.
"Exciting!" General Liu also tried shooting once, but he didn't shoot on the ground, but on the patrol car that Guo Tailai had just installed the vehicle platform. When the car drove up, General Liu stood on the machine gun position and threw bullets at some imaginary targets very comfortably. It was really an extraordinary enjoyment.
"Uncle Liu! Helicopter is more enjoyable." Guo Tailai watched General Liu from the passenger compartment behind the car with emotion, and couldn't help reminding with a smile.
"Those American soldiers are so happy." General Liu got down from the machine gun seat, sat back in the crew compartment, and sighed again. This time I am envious. The Americans are really rich and powerful. They have both helicopters and machine guns. Compared with domestic countries, it is really enviable!
"Don't we have this too?" Guo Tailai said with a smile: "This machine gun is an American design, exactly the same. With a little optimization and simple modification, it can be used directly."
"Yes!" General Liu nodded happily, feeling much better. It wasn't there before, isn't it now? Take your time: "The test is almost done, make a batch, put it directly on the Humvee and go to the Border Patrol to scare people. Some people will definitely be shocked!"
The car turned around, and when he was about to return to the shooting range, General Liu sighed again with a little deep meaning: "Oh! If only the research and development of domestic weapons and equipment were so smooth. We are going to launch an aircraft carrier. The deck steel and The hull steel and arresting wire technology are already ready. We are going to mount the helicopter, and the engine and matching machine guns are ready. If this is the case, how wonderful it would be!"
"Uncle Liu, aren't these things being realized?" Guo Tailai knew that General Liu had actually understood the purpose of his arrangements over the years: "There will be bread, there will be milk, and everything will be fine."
"I hope so!" General Liu nodded and smiled at Guo Tailai, "Thank you, fat man!"
