"Is this the Gatling you call it?" asked Lei Jun as he looked at the test site, a machine that looked like a gun and a cannon.

That's right, the girl Jiang Chen asked the firearms research and development laboratory before, Shi Lan. The development of a Gatling gun, or rather a preventative one, has been preliminarily developed. Coupled with Jiang Chen's suggestion, Shi Lan has made some improvements. I'm doing this live-fire experiment at the test site. And Lei Jun and Dongzi heard that something good came out, so they followed one by one, which can be regarded as a kind of relaxation. During this time, it was relatively busy and it was rare to relax, so Jiang Chen took everyone to the test site to see the specific situation of this machine gun test.

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

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

"Huh. 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 model we tested had a maximum rate of fire of 5,000 rounds per minute, and with our improvements, this one will definitely work. Shi Lan, who was standing on the side, said confidently.

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

"Good. After Shi Lan got Jiang Chen's permission, he began to prepare, first of all, a reinforcement of this firearm and firing position. Then there is a setting placement of the target. Of course, this target is obviously not appropriate. Jiang Chen asked the wreckage of several old tanks, armored vehicles, and other vehicles in the house in the test site over there to be placed in their current location. Immediately afterward, the testers received the ammunition needed for the test from the arsenal. A 212 car, with a board car towed behind it, and all the ammunition was stacked on it. Of course, for testing, there is also a part of the money saved. Therefore, this ammunition did not use Jiang Chen's previous NATO model 7.62×51mm rifle machine gun cartridge, nor did it use this small-caliber 5.56 cartridge, let alone Type 53 7.62×39mm rifle cartridge, but used the Type 56 7.62×54mm machine gun steel core cartridge equipped with our machine gun. The cost of this bullet is relatively low, plus the stock is relatively large, and it is the standard ammunition of our army. That's why I chose this one first.

"Report, all sides ready. "A tester stepped forward and walked the right path.

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

"Yes. The tester said, "Ready, begin." With a command, the Gatling gun above the firing position began to fire:

Da Da Da 、、、 can be said to be the sound of a gun without a gun, Jiang Chen They heard the mechanical sound of this machine gun turning and the metal sound of this bullet hitting it.

In a few moments, the chain, which still looked like a hill, was depleted and turned into a shell casing piled at the shooter's feet. Let's be honest. Jiang Chen was already shocked by such a close observation for the first time, he didn't expect this machine gun to bring such a big shock to Jiang Chen. Looking at Lei Jun and Dongzi Ma Jun standing on the side. They all froze, and Jiang Chen called several times, but there was no response.

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

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

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

Lei Jun's face turned red and then pretended to be calm: "It's nothing, it's indeed a little unexpected." ”

"yes. Is this still a machine gun. Dongzi on the side said in disbelief.

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

Jiang Chen said this, Lei Jun rushed over first, followed by Ma Jun, then Dongzi, and finally Jiang Chen, and they also followed quickly.

Lei Jun walked to the machine gun base, bent down and picked up a bullet case from the ground. Then he fiddled with his hand a few times, and finally fell to the ground, and said with a smile: "It was just hit, and it's still very hot." ”

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

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

Jiang Chen hurriedly shouted, "Be careful, it's hot on it." ”

"Don't worry. I felt it. Lei Jun fiddled and didn't care: "This barrel is so hot, how long is it, don't change the barrel every minute or two." ”

Under Jiang Chen's signal, Shi Lan began to introduce with a smile: "We use a heavy barrel, coupled with the progress of how materials, the theoretical life of this gun barrel is now 600,000 rounds, and the actual life span may be around 550,000 or 60,000." On average, the life of each barrel is about 100,000 rounds, which is about the same as our current machine guns. ”

"How many shots did we shoot just now, what was the rate of fire. Lei Jun said with interest.

Shi Lan called a few staff members over, discussed it, and then looked at Lei Junxian and said with a smile: "We have just prepared a total of 5,000 rounds of ammunition, and all of them will be fired in fifty-one seconds." On average, it's about 98 rounds per second, and about 5,080 to 5,009 a minute. ”

Hearing this, Lei Jun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's too fast, this is a waste, and besides, if you shoot so many bullets in one minute, I'm afraid it's also a huge problem in terms of logistics." This thing looks good, I'm afraid I can't afford to use it. ”

Jiang Chen looked at Lei Jun and said with a smile: "Actually, this rate of fire can be adjusted, and it can be adjusted according to the needs of use on the battlefield." We took this into account at the beginning of development, so don't worry. ”

"You can also adjust the rate of fire. Lei Jun was surprised.

Jiang Chen nodded and said: "This machine gun generally uses the kinetic energy of the bullet, that is, the recoil is also automated, but our machine gun does not use this, but uses a DC motor to drive." Therefore, we can control the voltage of the DC motor to control its rotational speed, and thus its firing rate. According to our setup, it can be set between 2,000 rounds per minute and 6,000 rounds per minute, so it becomes much more flexible. ”

"Yes, that's good. Lei Jun's eyes lit up, he looked at the abandoned vehicles that were shot into thousands of holes in the distance, sighed and said: "If I could equip this guy in the previous round battle, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so difficult in that year." ”

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

"Metal Storm, good name. Lei Jun appreciated this and said, then touched the machine gun Xiao Chen said to Jiang Chen: "That, you won't let me watch here." ”

Seeing Jiang Chen and Ma Jun Dongzi's longing eyes, Jiang Chen understood and then smiled at Shi Lan and asked, "Shi Lan, what's the matter, the durability and barrel life of this gun haven't been tested yet." ”

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

Jiang Chen said with a smile when he heard this: "Well, I think it's okay." With the presence of military comrades, we can also let them guide and guide, which is conducive to our next work deployment. We military workers provide services to our comrades in the military, so their opinions are very important to us, aren't they? ”

"Let's go, carry the ammunition with me!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Damn, the power went out, and it took almost an hour and a half to complete. In the end, there is still a mobile phone network upload, which is enough to fuck up.
