Chapter 604: Fire Control System and Gatling Gun
Subsequently, Shi Lanyou introduced some of the projects of the firearms research and development room to everyone. However, these are some small projects, which are more miscellaneous, so I will not explain them in detail one by one, and let's talk about them comprehensively here. As we all know, modern firearms are nothing more than those kinds of mechanisms, and there are only a few kinds of changes that come and go. And the purpose of your innovation and research is to develop a more performant, more practical, and more advanced firearm. Previously, Jiang Chen and Shi Lan had tried all these structures and achieved some good results, but now the R&D team needs to continue to innovate and develop on the basis of the previous ones, but this research is a long-term and continuous process. Although the structure of the firearm is relatively simple, it is precisely because of these simplicity that the entire R&D team has not made much progress and development. In addition to a few pistols with good performance, submachine guns, and upgrades to the original assault rifles.
Among them, Jiang Chen was more interested in the joint electronic research and development room and the optical glasses room, and developed a comprehensive firearm fire control system. To be precise, it is an observation and measuring instrument with a fire control system to accompany the use of a sniper rifle. In this way, the number of calculations that observers and snipers previously needed to calculate can be operated using this fire control system.
The fire control system, also known as the weapon fire control system, the full name is the fire command and control project, which is the general name of the equipment for automatic aiming and firing of the control and shooting weapons. Weapon fire control system is a general term for equipment that controls automatic or semi-automatic aiming and firing of weapons. Modern artillery, tank guns, tactical rockets and missiles, airborne weapons (aerial guns, bombs and missiles), shipborne weapons (naval guns, torpedoes, missiles and depth charges) are mostly equipped with fire control systems. Of course, this fire control system does not belong to this type, but is an unguided weapon. Unguided weapons are equipped with fire control systems, which can improve the speed and accuracy of aiming and launching, and enhance the adaptability to harsh battlefield environments, so as to give full play to the weapon's destructive ability. Guided weapons are equipped with fire control systems, which can improve the working conditions of their guidance systems, improve the missile's response capability to maneuvering targets, and reduce the error rate of the guidance system because of the relatively accurate aiming before launch.
Of course, the one they developed is the fire control system used in sniper rifles, so it doesn't have too complicated functions. Its main functions are divided into ★dǐng★diǎn★ small ★ stories, .2≡3.≡os_ (); Two parts, one for the measurement of target parameters and the other for the measurement of meteorological and ballistic conditions. The target parameters include target position parameters and motion parameters. The target position parameters refer to the coordinates in the relative geographic coordinate system or the observation coordinate system of the target, such as distance, azimuth angle, high and low angle, etc., and the target motion parameters include speed, direction, shooting angle, acceleration, etc., which are indispensable numbers for finding the shooting elements. The observation equipment used for the measurement of target parameters should have high accuracy, and they are mostly used to determine the target position and the longitudinal velocity of the observation equipment. For moving targets, this fire control observation device can also observe the target in real time, so as to measure a series of target parameter values, and provide conditions for estimating the instantaneous position and motion parameters of the target by using these measured values.
The purpose of meteorological and ballistic condition measurement is to be able to calculate meteorological parameters such as air temperature, air pressure, wind speed, and wind direction, as well as ballistic condition parameters such as projectile muzzle velocity deviation, ammunition temperature, and projectile weight deviation, which will have an impact on the actual trajectory, and must be measured in time so that they can be taken into account when solving the shooting elements. The deviation of the projectile weight can be measured by the root meter, barometer, anemometer, and projectile muzzle velocity measuring instrument. Since meteorological conditions are acting on the full ballistics, the relevant meteorological measurements should cover the full ballistics. Moreover, it has a very good effect on observation and reconnaissance under special terrain and meteorological conditions.
After getting these numbers jù and then using a specific formula to calculate them, then this is the shooting aiming parameter that the sniper needs. With these parameters, the sniper can aim at the target more accurately and with precision. And because of such a more intuitive, accurate, fast and timely number, the preparation time and reaction time of the sniper are greatly shortened, which makes the sniper more powerful on the battlefield, the survival rate is greatly improved, and the task completion rate is greatly enhanced.
And one more, and that's this machine gun, the Gatling gun. Since the successful development of this gun, researchers in the relevant aspects of the firearm room have continued to improve this gun. For example, replace it with a more powerful motor and a battery that lasts longer. There is also a more wear-resistant gear, and a lighter body weight. And the gang has also tinkered with several of its improved Gatling guns. The first is a Gatling gun that is the same as this one, but it does away with the battery electric motor and other external power. That's right, this is an internal energy Gatling gun, which is different from an external energy Gatling gun that uses an electric motor as a power, it does not need this external battery motor, but uses the recoil of the bullet as kinetic energy to drive the gun for use. Although these changes have not reduced its weight, the range drive structure is a bit more complicated. But it also has its advantages, and that is that it can abandon the use of external abilities and shoot continuously. Of course, this gun is only a real yàn type, just to increase the variety of our own version of this Gatling family. As for whether it will be put into production in the future, the market has to decide.
The second Gatling gun, which is significantly smaller and much lighter, is still driven by external energy, but the caliber of this gun is different, it uses 5.56 mm caliber ammunition. The developers have reduced its caliber, although this will greatly reduce its range and power. But it also has its unique advantages, reducing weight and recoil, that is, it is more suitable for infantry and mountain troops. The weight has been reduced to make it easier for the fighters to carry, and the saved weight can be used to carry more ammunition and increase its firepower time. The reduction of recoil can reduce the pressure on the fighters when they are used, which is more convenient for them to use and master. And one more important thing is that it reduces the caliber, so that the ammunition it uses will be greatly reduced. At the same weight as ordinary bullets, this gun can carry a larger number of bullets, which greatly increases the firepower of this gun, making it more convenient and combative.
