Chapter 273: Steam: Recoilless Gun No. 2 (I) (4\5)

The admiration between the fields is not unreasonable, I saw that the No. 2 recoilless gun in Tang Jixian's hand was dark green all over, and it was even more seamless at the beginning of several connections, all of which flowed naturally with streamlined smooth curves, giving people a qualitative beauty from a distance.

What's more important is the overall structure, the slender launch tube, needless to say, but in terms of the reinforced structure on the tube body and the Spitfire balance device at the tail, a discerning person will know at a glance that this individual rocket launcher, known as the "No. 2 recoilless artillery", is by no means useless.

Since Germany's "Iron Fist" series of individual rocket launchers pioneered super-caliber ammunition (the caliber of ammunition is significantly larger than the inherent caliber of the launcher) during World War II, how to launch high-power ammunition with a larger caliber farther has become the direction of unremitting struggle of military experts in various countries.

In the past few years, military experts have indeed found many solutions, such as reducing the metal components of the projectile body and reducing the overall weight; For example, in the development of more efficient propellants and shaped explosives, fundamentally solve the range and power of ammunition, but no matter how to solve it, there is a problem that can never be bypassed, that is, the ability of individual rocket launchers to withstand themselves.

As we all know, in order to reduce the manufacturing cost of individual rocket launchers, such equipment of various military powers basically use relatively cheap seamless steel pipes, but in this way their own durability is a great problem, such as Germany is good to throw it after fighting, if it is used continuously, it is impossible not to consider the erosion and burning of the launch tube body caused by the high temperature and high pressure generated by the rocket wake.

If this problem cannot be solved, no matter how powerful the ammunition is, no matter how far the range is, because it is impossible for a soldier to risk injury or even his life to operate a rocket launcher that is easy to explode.

For this reason, the Americans, who are good at technical flow, solve this problem with the principle of pure rocket balancing that is simple in form, but creates trouble, so that there are "Bazooka" and "Super Bazooka", but this method is a good solution to the balance between ammunition and the tube body, but the caliber of the ammunition is rigidly limited by the tube body, and there is no way to use super caliber, and the upgrade potential is very limited.

The Soviet Union did not follow the path of the Americans, but after fully learning the advanced experience of the Germans, summed up a set of its own methods, that is, to use strong metal components to strengthen the middle and rear parts of the launch tube, which are the most severe to withstand high temperature and high pressure, so that it can not only stabilize the barrel so that it can be applied to a more powerful super-caliber, and secondly, it can also be used as a heat insulation device to prevent the shooter from being burned by the high temperature heat flow.

Therefore, people can see the pure wood-colored tube reinforcement structure in the middle and rear of the RPG-2's launch tube, which is to better apply super-caliber and high-power ammunition, but although the RPG-2 is at the forefront of the world in this regard, it is not perfect.

Based on the shackles of the original design, the reinforcement structure of the RPG-2 is not a panacea, in addition to the initial design shortcomings, and the balance principle of the recoilless gun has not been fully developed, so that the high temperature and high pressure of the rocket can not be discharged in time and effectively, and the time remaining in the tube is too long, resulting in the external reinforcement structure can not withstand the cracks of the internal pipe wall no matter how effective it is.

Because of this, the RPG-2's propellant is always using old black powder, for no other reason than because the burning effect of black powder is the lowest among many propellants, but because of the use of black powder as the propellant, the range of RPG-2 is only 100 meters.

That is to say, except for the RPG-2 in addition to the optimization of structure and weight, the overall performance is not fundamentally different from the "Iron Fist" 100 used in Germany in the late World War II, until the RPG-2V2 has to benefit from the treatment of the tail, only slightly improved, but the overall defects have not been substantially changed.

On the other hand, China's No. 2 recoilless gun, like a swan's neck, the rapid sweep of the 40mm front launch tube is a whole reinforcement structure that almost runs through the middle and rear, and the thickness of the high bulge like a muscle knot is about 10mm, if it is just so, everyone may be surprised, but they will never be surprised by almost shock.

The reason for this was mainly the handling of the rear section of the No. 2 recoilless gun, because it did not extend straight as the RPG-2, but quickly retracted into a 40mm diameter reinforcing tube after the bulge, and then rapidly expanded to form a flare-shaped tail nozzle in the tail.

Seeing this result, as long as people who have been in the military for a long time can judge that this is the most classic recoilless artillery structure, although it has been slightly changed in order to be suitable for individual combat, but the fast heat flow duct and the flared balance nozzle are the most basic balance principle of recoilless artillery!

Until this time, everyone in the field finally understood why China called his individual rocket launcher No. 2 recoilless artillery, and dared to love the Chinese is to turn the recoilless artillery into a single soldier, thus evolving their own individual bazooka!

Haven't all the officers and military technical experts present thought about this simple and effective recoilless artillery structure? Of course not, the problem is that the simple principle does not mean that you can figure it out, and the basic principle of the turbofan engine is very simple, so simple that ordinary high school students can say one, two, three.

But if you want to build a turbofan engine, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, and it is the same as using the principle of recoilless artillery structure to develop a single soldier bazooka, which is not a bold and dry cloud can be done by the principle of a big swing, but requires extremely complicated calculations, quite complex technical analysis, and countless tests, evaluations and experiments.

But now, China's No. 2 recoilless artillery is standing on the shooting range like an impassioned beautiful man, so that everyone in the field will take a look at the crude RPG-2V2, and the domineering No. 2 recoilless artillery will be in a mess.

Because RPG-2V2 is even more earthy than a turtle compared to others, so that these officers of the Eastern European satellite countries who previously cheered for the Soviet Union's equipment felt a little panicked.

Of course, shame is shame, for the No. 2 recoilless gun, is what they are most looking forward to, not to mention anything else but the complete recoilless artillery principle, it is enough for these Eastern Europeans who are above the top to look at China with admiration, so that many people are sighing, that ancient country located in the East, is really a place to create miracles......
