Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 395 Metal Storm
"Is this the Gatling you mentioned?" Lei Jun looked at the machine that looked like a gun and a cannon on the testing ground and asked.

That's right, Jiang Chen asked the girl in the firearms research and development laboratory, Shi Lan.The Gatling machine gun developed or prevented has been preliminarily developed.With Jiang Chen's suggestion, Shi Lan made some improvements.Now I am doing this live ammunition shooting experiment at the testing ground.And Lei Jun and Dongzi heard that something good was coming out, so they followed suit one by one, which was a kind of relaxation.It was quite busy during this period, and it was rare to relax, so Jiang Chen brought everyone to the test site to see the specific situation of the machine gun test.

"Well, that's it." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"You said this thing can reach a rate of fire of five or six thousand rounds per minute?" Lei Jun obviously didn't believe it.

"Hehe." Jiang Chen said with a smile, "Six thousand rounds is its maximum rate of fire. As for the specifics, it depends on the experimental test results."

"Head, we are confident. The maximum fire rate of the model we tested before has reached [-] rounds per minute. After our improvement, this model will definitely work." Shi Lan, who was standing on the side, said confidently. .

"Well, let's try." Jiang Chen nodded at her.

"Okay." After getting Jiang Chen's permission, Shi Lan began to prepare, first of all, to reinforce the firearms and shooting position.Then there is a setting for the target.Of course, this target is obviously not suitable.Jiang Chen asked people to put the wreckage of several old tanks and armored vehicles and other vehicles in the house in the test field at the current location.Immediately afterwards, the testers brought the ammunition needed for the test from the arsenal.A 212 car, pulling the trolley at the back, and all the ammunition is piled on it.Of course, for the sake of testing, there is still some money to be saved, so this ammunition did not use the 7.62×51mm rifle ammunition of the NATO model that Jiang Chen and the others used before, nor did they use this small-caliber 5.56 ammunition, nor did they use the Type 53 7.62× 39mm rifle ammunition, but the 56-type 7.62×54mm machine gun steel core ammunition equipped with our machine gun.The cost of this bullet is relatively low, plus there are more stocks, and it is the standard ammunition of our army, so this is the priority.

"Report, all aspects are ready." A tester stepped forward and stood at attention.

Looking at Shi Lan's questioning gaze, Jiang Chen nodded, Shi Lan understood and said loudly: "Start the test."

"Yes." The tester stood at attention and said: "Get ready, start." With an order, the Gatling machine gun above the shooting position began to fire:

Da da da,,, can be said to be the sound of a gun without a gun. Jiang Chen and the others heard the mechanical sound of the machine gun rotating and the metal sound of the bullet hitting.

After a while, the chain of ammunition that was still like a hill was consumed and turned into a pile of shell casings at the shooter's feet.To be honest, Jiang Chen was shocked by his first observation at such a close distance. He didn't expect this machine gun to bring such a shock to Jiang Chen.He was looking at Lei Jun and Dongzi Ma Jun who were standing aside.Everyone froze, even though Jiang Chen called several times, there was no response.

"Wake up, what's wrong?" Jiang Chen shouted.

"Oh, this shot is over." Lei Jun responded and asked.

"It's over early, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Chen asked.

Lei Jun blushed and then pretended to be calm: "It's nothing, it's really unexpected."

"Yeah, is this still a machine gun?" Dongzi on the side couldn't believe it.

"Hehe, let's go, let's take a closer look." Jiang Chen looked at everyone and said with a smile.

As soon as Jiang Chen said this, Lei Jun rushed over first, followed by Ma Jun, then Dong Zi, and finally Jiang Chen and the others quickly followed.

Lei Jun walked to the base of the machine gun, bent down and picked up a shell casing from the ground, then fiddled with it a few times, and finally dropped it on the ground. He smiled and said, "It's just fired, it's still very hot."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Jiang Chen said with a blank look.

"This gun is so powerful." Lei Jun began to fiddle with the machine gun.

Jiang Chen hurriedly shouted: "Be careful, it's very hot."

"Don't worry, I can feel it." Lei Jun fiddled with it and said indifferently: "The barrel of this gun is so hot, how long does it last, and the barrel will have to be replaced every two minutes or so."

Under Jiang Chen's signal, Shi Lan began to introduce with a smile: "We use a heavy barrel, and with the advancement of materials, the theoretical life of this gun barrel is now 60 rounds. About 55 to [-]. On average, the life of each barrel is about [-] rounds, which is almost the same as our current machine guns."

"How many rounds did we fire just now, and what was the rate of fire?" Lei Jun asked with interest.

Shi Lan called several staff members over, discussed it, then looked at Lei Jun and said with a smile: "We just prepared a total of 51 rounds of ammunition, all of which were fired within 98 seconds. On average, about 1 rounds per second About [-] rounds, about [-] to [-] rounds per minute."

Lei Jun shook his head when he heard the words and said with a wry smile: "It's too fast, it's a waste. Besides, firing so many bullets in one minute is probably a huge logistical problem. This thing looks good, but I'm afraid it can't be used. .”

Jiang Chen looked at Lei Jun and said with a smile, "Actually, the rate of fire is adjustable, and it can be adjusted according to the needs of the battlefield. We have already considered this at the beginning of the research and development, so don't worry."

"You can also adjust the rate of fire." Lei Jun said in surprise.

Jiang Chen nodded and introduced, "This machine gun is generally automated by using the kinetic energy of the bullet, that is, the recoil force. Our machine gun is not driven by this, but by a DC motor. So we can control the DC motor." The voltage of the motor controls its speed, thereby controlling its rate of fire. According to our settings, it can be freely set between [-] rounds per minute and [-] rounds per minute, which makes it much more flexible.”

"Well, that's good." Lei Jun's eyes lit up, he looked at the old vehicles riddled with holes in the distance and sighed, "If I could equip this guy in the previous round of battles, I'm afraid there will The next year will not be so difficult."

Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Actually, it's not too late now, the round of battle in the south is not over yet, if they need it, we can definitely send this to the front line, so that the southern barbarian devils will often have this metal storm .”

"Metal Storm, a good name." Lei Jun said appreciatively, then touched the machine gun Xiao Chen said to Jiang Chen: "Well, you won't let me just watch here."

Seeing Jiang Chen and Ma Jundongzi's longing eyes, Jiang Chen understood and asked Shi Lan with a smile, "Shi Lan, why, the durability of this gun and the life of the barrel have not been tested yet."

Shi Lan glanced at Jiang Chen, then glanced at Lei Jun and the others and said with a smile, "Not yet, that one, I think the weather is good today, otherwise, let's do it together today, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Well, I think it will work. It happens that comrades from the military are present, and we can also ask them to guide and guide us, which is good for our next work deployment. We military workers are comrades in the military. We provide services, so their opinion is very important to us, isn't it?"

"Go, carry ammunition with me!"

　Damn, there was a power outage, and I typed it blindly in the dark. It took me almost an hour and a half to complete.In the end, there was still a mobile phone network to upload, which is enough to fuck.
