#1143 PTRR-39 Anti-Tank Gun

The German wheeled infantry fighting vehicles were reaping the lives of the Soviet soldiers. At this time, the Soviet soldiers fell down one after another under the German machine gun fire like sheep.

The scene was very brutal and very bloody.

A machine gunner was crawling in the grass and wanted to greet the Germans with his machine gun, but just as his machine gun was about to fire, the 40mm chariot gun on the opposite side opened fire on him, and several shells were fired at him. The explosion next to him blew him to pieces.

Not all people fought bravely. When the most stubborn people were killed, the rest started to run away involuntarily.

There are fewer and fewer people resisting, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.

Ostrov is one of them.

He was originally walking at the back of the team. After the German tanks appeared in front of him, he knew that the situation was not good. If he turned his head and ran at this time, it was possible to run away.

But he didn't, he remembered his mission.

He put his long rifle down from his back, spread out the bipod in front, and aimed the thick muzzle at the front. The huge butt was just right for him. withstand.

This gun is not at all different from the Monashingan rifle equipped by the Soviet infantry. In terms of length, even without a bayonet, it has reached a terrifying length of one meter seven, almost the height of a person.

Therefore, this gun cannot be carried behind the back, almost all of it is carried, just like carrying a bamboo pole, the muzzle is facing the sky, and it looks quite majestic.

This is the anti-tank weapon of the Soviet infantry, the anti-tank gun.

It is always an inescapable problem for individual soldiers to deal with enemy tanks. Germany's solution is to use recoilless guns, while the Soviet Union's solution is to use anti-tank guns.

This kind of weapon actually began during World War I, when it was first invented by the Germans.

If you want to penetrate the opponent's armor, you need to have enough energy. For guns, on the one hand, you increase the caliber, and on the other hand, increase the length.

Increasing the caliber can increase the weight of the warhead, increase the charge, thereby increasing the kinetic energy of the warhead, and increasing the length of the barrel can increase the work of the gunpowder, thereby increasing the initial velocity of the warhead.

Anti-tank guns are such thick and long things.

The Soviets have never given up research on anti-tank guns. In the past few years, design units across the country have proposed a total of 15 designs for anti-tank rifles ranging from 12.7 mm to 25 mm caliber.

After a lot of experiments and investigations, the solution proposed by the Soviet Union's Soviet Small Arms Range Research Group won the welcome of the top Soviet leaders. (NIPSVO, the people who designed the 14.5 high machine bullet)

Their product is the current PTRR-39 anti-tank gun. The caliber of this gun is 14.5 mm. threaten.

If the caliber is small, the power is not enough.

After this gun was trial-produced, it only used ordinary bullets to penetrate 20mm armor placed at 20 degrees at 500 meters and 30mm armor at 100 meters.

After using a special warhead, it can reach a penetration depth of 50 mm, which is quite unbelievable for an anti-tank gun.

Historically, this gun was not mass-produced because Germany fooled the Soviet Union that their armor was not 50mm thick. Historically, Germany's No. 3 and No. 4 are really not very thick.

But it is different now. The German tanks have never been penetrated. They are simply a sharp sword hovering over the heads of the Soviets. The Soviets have thought of all kinds of methods. The armor of the German main battle tank is, after all, a good powerful weapon. Therefore, although the production is complicated, the troops are equipped in small batches, so that the troops will not be caught off guard in front of the enemy's tanks.

If you can't hit the opponent's main armor, you can hit other things, such as the slit observed in front of the tank operator. If you aim at the shot, 14.5mm bullets can fly in. For example, if the opponent's track is damaged, it will also be It's alright, even when you go around, hitting the opponent's side or tail, it is possible to penetrate, so you won't be helpless.

And now, against the German wheeled armored vehicles, let alone, absolutely no problem!

Ostrov narrowed his eyes, he held his breath, aiming at the wheeled armored vehicle that was driving towards him, and then pulled the trigger.

"Boom!" The 14.5mm armor-piercing incendiary bomb flew out from his muzzle. Although the muzzle had been equipped with a brake, there was still a huge recoil force. It hurts a lot like I slapped it hard with a shovel.

He got up, grabbed his rifle and ran.

In many military novels, snipers are not good enough, and the snipers with Barrett are even more awesome. In fact, there are two words in front of the snipers, called cannon fodder snipers!

No matter how powerful a sniper is, is there a powerful artillery? If you hit someone with a gun, they will bombard you with a cannon. Your position has long been exposed!

Especially for large-caliber rifles, the recoil is also quite large. If there is no muzzle brake, the recoil will knock people flying.

It sounds mysterious, but in fact the muzzle brake is very simple, that is, at the front end of the muzzle of this anti-tank gun, there is something like a horizontal plug, much wider than the barrel, with a small hole in the middle. Let the bullets shoot out.

At the same time, when the bullet is shot out, the expanding gunpowder gas behind it also rushes out, and a large part of it hits the reflective surface of the device, and part of the air flow is deflected and discharged through the side hole, thereby providing the Retreat.

Well, the gas does reduce the recoil of the gun, and at the same time, when the gas spreads to both sides, it also blows things up on both sides.

For example, in the place where Ostrov was just now, the dust flew up several meters high! The battle-tested soldier can lock his position in no time.

Run, run quickly, if you run slowly, you will die!

The sniper's physical fitness must be very good, in addition to carrying this big gun, but also running fast!

"Boom!" At this moment, an explosion sounded from a few hundred meters away, and he successfully killed an infantry fighting vehicle!

But at the same time, other infantry fighting vehicles also discovered his hiding place. In an instant, two or three infantry fighting vehicles did not spare any ammunition, and 40mm shells flew out of the muzzle, towards Shoot in the direction of Ostrov!
