Chapter 151: Hard Core Exposed Bullet
"Da Da Da ......"
After draining the bullets in the third magazine, Wang Dong put down the DF762N rifle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Because it fired 7.62 mm NATO caliber bullets, according to the naming rules set by Wang Dong, it had this name that could be understood at a glance.
In general, the feel of the new bullet is very similar to that of the M80 bullet, and it is similar to the M993 bullet, with the main difference being that the trajectory is straighter.
Of course, this also means that the effective range of the new guns is longer.
At this time, Luo Qing next to him also stopped shooting.
"How?"
"It's good, I just don't know how powerful it is."
Wang Dong nodded slightly and pressed down the remote control of the target frame.
After a while, the target came to the two of them.
Looking closely, both of them laughed.
The standard 100-meter target, however, is specially made, with a ten-millimeter-thick armor steel plate on the surface, and a piece of beef to simulate a human body hangs from the back.
Ninety bullets, all of which pierced the steel plates.
The beef hanging in the back has become meat foam.
Obviously, at a distance of 100 meters, it is possible to penetrate 100% of the case-hardened armor steel plate after 10 mm, and there are no problems with the penetration of the new gun.
The lethality of personnel, especially protected personnel, is also not a problem.
The key, in fact, is a unique warhead.
This kind of bullet named by Zhao Yu as "hard-core open-pointed bullet", the core of the warhead is a sub-caliber tungsten core, the side and bottom are wrapped with lead, and the lead accounts for half of the total mass of the warhead, and the half-covered copper armor only wraps the back half of the warhead, revealing the head of the bullet.
Against hard targets, such as armor steel plates, tungsten alloy cores play a key role.
Thanks to the sub-caliber design, the tungsten alloy bullet core has extremely high armor-piercing ability, and can penetrate 12 mm thick armor steel plates at a distance of 100 meters.
Anti-personnel relied on lead.
Because lead is soft, after piercing the steel plate, the softened lead follows behind the tungsten core, creating a metal jet that kills the person behind the armor.
If it is a body armor with reinforced steel plates, the trauma caused must be extremely terrifying.
If anything, the production process is too complex, which not only leads to ridiculously high production prices, but also makes the yield rate surprisingly low.
To put it simply, the production efficiency is too low.
Of the 100,000 rounds of ammunition delivered, only 10,000 were "hard-core and sharp-pointed", which was the result of D&F's two ammunition production lines running at full speed.
What is this concept?
One gun and ammunition production line can produce 100,000 rounds of M80 ammunition in one day!
As for the price of this kind of gun and ammunition, in Zhao Yu's words, even the local tyrants can't afford it.
The two production lines, running at full speed for 15 days, only produced 10,000 rounds, the yield rate was less than 10%, and the calculated price was as high as 8,000 US dollars per 1,000 rounds!
For 8,000 dollars, you can buy 100 boxes in the United States, which is 20,000 rounds of M80 shells.
You know, it's a bullet, not a gun.
Eight dollars a bullet can burn one hundred and sixty dollars when a shuttle is swept out, and after a battle is fought, the ammunition consumption alone is astronomical.
In fact, the key is production efficiency.
D&F has only three ammunition production lines, and even if all of them are used to produce "hard-core open-tip bullets", the output in half a month is less than 20,000 rounds.
Obviously, 20,000 rounds is certainly not enough.
For this reason, Zhao Yu could only settle for the next best thing and designed another kind of bullet, that is, "all-hard core bullet".
Compared with the "hard-core open-pointed bullet", the "all-hard-core bullet" is to cancel the filled lead, the full-coverage copper armor is thicker, and the size of the tungsten core is increased.
In order to ensure the consistency of the trajectory, the warhead mass of the "all-hard-core projectile" is exactly the same as that of the "hard-core open-pointed bullet".
Because the tungsten core is larger, the armor-piercing ability of the "all-hard core bullet" is not as good as that of the "hard-core exposed tip bullet", but the trajectory is more stable.
As for the lethality, it is actually not as good as the "hard-core exposed bullet", but it is definitely enough to deal with personnel.
It is precisely for this reason that the high-precision bullets specially developed for sniper rifles are all "all-hard core bullets".
In addition, the machine gun is also used in the "full hard core bullet", but it is a strong charge type, and the charge has been increased, which has increased the muzzle velocity.
Although the price of "all-hard core bullet" is not low, mainly because the processing of tungsten core is too difficult, the production efficiency, that is, the yield rate, has improved a lot.
There are three sub-types of "all-hard core bullets", namely the ordinary type, the strong charge type and the high-precision type.
The other 90,000 rounds are all "all-hard core bullets", 50,000 rounds are ordinary rounds, 40,000 rounds are strong charge types, and less than 1,000 rounds of high-precision types.
In fact, the sniper rifles provided by Zhao Yu are all "sniper support rifles", that is, fully automatic rifles.
At all times, these DF762NZ are fully automatic, and only when used as a sniper rifle are the fast and slow machines turned to semi-automatic.
Of course, the DF762N rifle model, as well as the DF762NM machine gun type, can also use high-precision bullets.
In addition, the DF762N can be fed with a chain with a small adjustment to the bolt, i.e., the magazine locking device on the bolt.
On the contrary, the DF762N can be fed from a magazine at any time.
To be highly versatile, in fact, is the biggest feature of the DF762 gun family, and it is still the biggest selling point after that.
If there is anything wrong, the main thing is in the special parts, that is, the DF762NZ is a high-precision barrel, DF762NM a weighted barrel is used.
Luckily, replacing the barrel is the easiest.
Subsequently, Wang Dong and Luo Qing tested the "all-hard core bomb" and were very satisfied.
Strictly speaking, the external ballistic performance of the "all-hard core bullet" is better, and it is more suitable for long-range shooting, that is, it is more suitable for sniper rifles and machine guns.
According to the test done by Zhao Yu, the spreading range of the "all-hard-core bullet" at a distance of 600 meters is half smaller than that of the "hard-core open-pointed bullet."
The main thing is that the warhead of the "all-hard core bomb" is more symmetrical and the mass distribution is more reasonable, so the disturbance in flight is smaller.
100,000 rounds of ammunition are enough, which can also allow all personnel to practice their hands.
Even according to the standards of the special forces, each person carries 500 rounds of ammunition, a total of 15,000 rounds, which is only 30,000 rounds when doubled, and only 60,000 rounds with the two bases of supply.
The extra 40,000 rounds of ammunition were given to Wang Dong and them to practice.
The main thing is to find the feeling, as for the ruler, etc., it is already marked on the gun and the matching sights.
Wang Dong and Luo Qing didn't spend much time, and after firing hundreds of bullets, they left the shooting range.
There are more than a dozen shooting ranges in the King Fahd Military City, and the personnel of the five companies are stationed separately, so there is no need to go to the same shooting range to test guns.
In fact, only the D&F team needed to test the gun.
The other four companies used existing firearms, and even with a few changes, they were not very big, and there was nothing special about the internal and external ballistic characteristics.
In the following days, Wang Dong and his team have been training on the shooting range.
Time is precious, and no one wants to waste it, not only the operatives in King Fahd's military city, but also Zhao Yu and others in Scotland.
