Chapter 102 Those Anti-Tank Rifles in World War II

After all, the resistance of a bullet flying in the air is related to the cross-sectional area of ​​the bullet, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the bullet is the square of the diameter of the bullet.

But the weight of the bullet is different, because under the same material, the larger the volume of the bullet, the heavier the weight must be. Therefore, it is the volume of the bullet that affects the weight of the bullet.

The volume of a bullet generally grows as the cube of its diameter.

Of course, Baili Xiu knew all these theoretical knowledge about bullets.

However, Bailixiu is not very familiar with the ballistics of this anti-tank rifle, because Bailixiu has not seen the ballistic table of this anti-tank rifle before crossing.

So now the test gun can only be estimated and shot, and then adjusted according to the point of impact.

However, although Bailixiu's first bullet missed, the power of the high-explosive bullet still killed the little devil sentinel and several little devils next to him.

Although the explosion power of a [-]mm high-explosive bomb is slightly less than that of a grenade, it can still cause considerable damage at a relatively short distance.

Then, with the impact point of the first bullet, the accuracy of Bailixiu's second bullet immediately rose to a higher level.

Bai Lixiu's second bullet directly hit the body of a little devil, and then the little devil was blown to pieces by the [-]mm high-explosive bomb, and its blood and flesh spattered the surrounding little devils All in one.

However, Bai Lixiu's third shot did not go out, because the little devils had already discovered the location of Bai Lixiu's shooting, and through the [-]x magnification, Bailixiu could see that the little devils had already started to set up mortars.

Bai Lixiu didn't want to gamble with the little devils on the accuracy of the little devil's mortar, so he immediately resisted the 50-kilogram anti-tank rifle and ran away.

After trying the gun, Bailixiu is still very satisfied with the performance of this anti-tank rifle, especially its recoil force is even more surprising. The best of tank rifles.

After all, there were so many countries in the world at that time, it was naturally impossible that Switzerland was the only country that manufactured anti-tank rifles.

Because with the birth of tanks as a weapon in World War I, it also promoted the development of various anti-tank weapons, especially anti-tank guns. However, in order to allow infantry to have anti-tank capabilities and flexible deployment, the Anti-tank guns were born at the end of World War I. Although this weapon was not very useful at the time, it had a great influence.

So after the end of World War I, all countries began to develop anti-tank guns one after another, and they were also put into use in World War II.

For example, Bailixiu knows several kinds of anti-tank rifles, and these anti-tank rifles also played an important role during World War II.

The first type, PzB38/39 anti-tank gun

The gun was designed by Gustalov in Germany in 1938. Its structure should be simpler than that of the anti-tank guns of the same period. It fires 7.92×94mm armor-piercing bullets, which can penetrate the tank at a distance of 300 meters. Armor plates with a bevel angle of 60 degrees and a thickness of 25 mm.

There is also a leather ammunition box hanging on both sides of the gun body, which can hold 10 rounds of ammunition, but there is no magazine inside, and only one round can be fired and one round can be loaded during combat. The whole loading process is like Operates a small cannon.

Since the combat weight of the early PzB38 anti-tank gun reached 16.2 kg and the receiver was wide, it was very inconvenient for soldiers to carry it during battle, so the PzB39 was later improved.

The weight of this model has been reduced to 12 kg, and the stock has been modified so that it can be folded forward to reduce the volume so that soldiers can carry it easily.

This type of anti-tank gun was equipped in large quantities by the army in the early days of World War II, but later with the emergence of various medium and heavy tanks, the armor became thicker and thicker, and it was difficult for this weapon to be used again. Individual anti-tank rocket launchers such as Killer and Iron Fist.

Of course, in the later period, basically all anti-tank rifles were replaced by individual anti-tank rocket launchers that are light, easy to carry and have strong armor-piercing capabilities.

The second type, Mauser M1918 anti-tank gun

As the first anti-tank gun in the history of Germany, the gun was adopted by the German army at the end of World War I. It fired 13.2mm ammunition and could penetrate 200mm thick armor at a distance of 20 meters.

The Mauser M1918 anti-tank gun is actually an enlarged Mauser G98 rifle. It also uses a rotating rear-pull bolt. The internal structure is the same as that of a traditional rifle, but it is larger in size.

The full length of the gun body has reached 1680mm, the length of the barrel is 960mm, the weight of the whole gun is 15.8kg, and it fires 13.2×92mm ammunition. It can be equipped with a bipod stand during combat, and it must be equipped with two personnel, one for the shooter and one for the shooter. called observer.

After the end of World War I, this anti-tank gun was not eliminated. Even in the early days of World War II, a small number of M1918 anti-tank rifles were still re-adopted by the German army.

The third type, MSS41 anti-tank gun

This type of anti-tank gun was developed by the Brno Arsenal in Czechoslovakia as early as 1936. There were also two transitional models, ZK-382 and ZK-407, one of which was bolt-action and the other was Semi-automatic launch.

Later, Jieke was occupied, and the German army took over the research work of this gun again. In the early 40s, the official model was born and was named MSS41 anti-tank gun.

The gun adopts a bullpup structure. In order to reduce the recoil force, a rectangular brake is installed at the front of the muzzle, and the tail is equipped with a supporting plate and a rubber buffer pad. It can also use the bipod bracket of the ZB26 light machine gun, but it is not A semi-automatic weapon with a manual bolt action that needs to be rotated and then pushed forward to be loaded.

It fires 7.92×94mm ammunition and uses 5 rounds of magazines for ammunition. At a distance of 100 meters, it can penetrate 30mm thick armor. However, after entering the 40s, this caliber of anti-tank has already It couldn't work, so the MSS41 was completely discontinued in 1942, and the German army didn't have too much equipment.

The fourth type, "Boss" anti-tank gun

The "Boss" anti-tank gun was developed by Ying Guo in the mid-30s.

It adopts a manual bolt action, fires 13.9×99 mm armor-piercing bullets, and uses 5 rounds of detachable magazines for ammunition. The length of the full gun is 1614 mm, the length of the barrel is 915 mm, and the weight of the empty gun is 16.32 kg.

The "Boss" anti-tank gun was also used by the "Expeditionary Force" in Burma in 1943, and it played a big role in that year.

The fifth type, PTRD-41 anti-tank gun

The gun was finalized in 1941 and was widely adopted by the Soviet army during World War II. The structure of the PTRD-41 anti-tank gun is very simple, consisting of only one barrel and a simple chamber. The weight of the gun is 17.3 kg and the length is 2020 mm. Barrel length 1350 mm.

It uses a manual bolt action, each shot needs to be loaded with a round, and it fires 14.5×114 mm ammunition, which can penetrate 100 mm thick armor at a distance of 35 meters.

The gun was used from 1941 until 1960 before it was decommissioned in the Soviet Union. At the same time, some of this anti-tank gun was exported to other regions.

The sixth type, PTRS-41 anti-tank gun

PTRS-41 is an improved version of the former PTRD-41. The difference from the former is that this model uses a gas-guided system, which can fire semi-automatically. Efficiency should exceed the former.In terms of ammunition, it also fires 5×14.5mm armor-piercing projectiles.

Seventh, Mosin Nagant anti-tank rifle
At that time, in addition to the two anti-tank guns of the PTRS-41 and PTRD-41, the Soviet Union also had an anti-tank rifle modified from Mosin Nagant in front of the two.

Its general shape is the same as the regular Mosin Nagan rifle, but with a longer barrel and larger magazine size, and comes in two caliber models, firing 7.62×122mm and 7.62×155Rmm ammunition.

However, this gun was not used for long. In the early 40s, it was quickly replaced by a new 14.5 mm caliber anti-tank gun.

The eighth type, L39 anti-tank rifle
The full name is: Ratti L39 anti-tank gun. It is a large-caliber anti-material weapon developed by Fenlan in 1939. The length of the gun is 2240 mm, the length of the barrel is 1300 mm, and the weight of the gun is 57.7 kg. "The Elephant in the Gun".

The gun fires 20mm armor-piercing projectiles, which can penetrate 300mm thick armor at a distance of 30 meters, and the ammunition can also choose high-explosive projectiles or incendiary projectiles, which can be used to destroy enemy bunkers and firepower points.

The ninth type, Soloton S18/1000 anti-tank gun

The full name is: Solothurn S18/1000 anti-material rifle, which was originally a weapon produced by Switzerland and was adopted by the German army during World War II.

The gun fires 20×138mm armor-piercing bullets, uses 10 rounds of detachable magazines for ammunition, and adopts the automatic principle of short recoil stroke, which can be fired semi-automatically.

PS The pictures of the above anti-tank guns have been put in the comment area, and those who are interested can take a look.
