"Boom!"

An explosion sounded, and before the soldier could retreat, he was blown down by a grenade standing on the ground, and with the soldier lying on the ground, there was a thin fishing line. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It would have been a bit outrageous to have something like fishing line on such a battlefield, which has nothing to do with combat, but if a combat expert like Tryna looks at it, he will know that it is actually intentional.

Yes, this is actually a trap set by Lowy, and the installation process is extremely simple, just need a wire to use as a tripwire and a lead to pull the grenade that passes near and hides. This kind of simple tripping mine is a relatively common means among guerrillas in various countries, and it has been praised by many people because it is simple to set up and easy to trigger.

As for why Roy used the fishing line as a tripline, the most important thing is its sturdy characteristics, and it basically will not break directly due to sudden force, so as to avoid the occurrence of duds.

And this bundle of fishing lines, of course, was not scavenged from the enemy by Roy, but also carried by Roy himself. Although it is not used much, sometimes it is necessary to use some strong thread to complete some steps, and the fishing line itself is not thick, it is easy to carry, and the toughness is also quite sufficient, I don't know how many times more durable than ordinary cotton thread. And Roy always carries a dagger with him, so he doesn't have to worry about the fishing line not being able to cut at a critical moment.

Returning to the battlefield in front of him, there were several traps like this, all of which were on the enemy's path, although bare grenades were easier to spot than mines. But in the knee-deep woods of this weed, it is a needle in a haystack to find a grenade that is not half as tall as a weed. Although the tripline made of fishing line is easier to detect than cotton thread, ordinary infantry do not have the same agility and reaction speed to retreat the same way after touching it. In fact, even if it is Roy himself, in the face of this situation, it will be difficult to deal with it if he does not show a fighting state.

From just now to now, Roy has knocked out a full five PPSH41 drums, which means that he has already knocked out 355 rounds of ammunition with this Soviet submachine gun, which is a relatively staggering number compared to MP40 with only 32 rounds of ammunition. In the midst of this, Roy also scavenged a few more drums from another soldier, so he still has plenty of ammunition for him to use.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or a subjective factor, in Lowy's opinion, ppsh41 doesn't seem to be as easy to get stuck as mp40. Although the chance of the latter getting stuck is not high, Roy still encountered so few rare times, one of which almost killed him, even if he thought about it now, it made him feel uneasy. However, the PPSH41 in his hand has been continuously firing more than 300 rounds of ammunition in his hand, and with the previous use of the bullets, it is probably close to 400 rounds. There are still no problems with such high-intensity continuous operations, and its reliability seems to be quite good.

And if you talk about continuous combat, then it is naturally inseparable from the heat dissipation, at least in terms of heat dissipation, PPSH41 seems to be better than MP40, and its large-hole casing design has a similar side to the German MG-34. And as the German army...... No, the MG-34's air-cooled design, the most powerful machine gun among the warring nations, is also extremely practical, allowing it to work continuously at ultra-high rates of fire. And PPSH41, which is similar to its design, is naturally impossible to fall behind in this regard.

(PS1: Although the air-cooled design of the MG-34 was a very advanced and practical design scheme at the time, but because the MG-34 was too amazing in terms of rate of fire, even such a practical design could not really withstand it, so it had to replace the barrel during continuous combat to reduce the loss of accuracy after the barrel was heated, but considering that the steps of replacing the barrel of the MG-34 were extremely simple, it was still ahead of other machine guns of the same period in this regard.) ）

(PS2: Similarly, the PPSH41 can actually change the barrel during continuous combat.) The method of replacing the barrel is also extremely simple, and compared to the barrel of the MG-34, the barrel of the PPSH41 is really numerous. Why does a new gun have a lot on the barrel? This is also because it was influenced by the design leading ideology of the Soviet army at that time, even if it was a new type of equipment, it was necessary to try its best to make some parts universal, so that it would be much less difficult to produce and maintain, and the logistical pressure would be much less. Under such influence, the barrel of PPSH41 can even be said to be taken from another major weapon of the Soviet soldiers - Mosin-Nagant rifle, because as long as the barrel of a Mosin-Nagant rifle is cut from the middle, then two PPSH41 barrels can be obtained, such a simple production method makes many of its parts can be obtained from the production line of many existing firearms, which also makes the already durable PPSH41 more convenient when replacing parts. ）

(PS3: But this doesn't mean that PPSH41 is very material-saving, except for the wooden buttstock, some of the parts are made of the same whole piece of steel as the MG-34, so the material utilization rate is still not particularly high.) But even so, it still has a lot of materials and man-hours left compared to its predecessor, Somi 1931. ）

But if PPSH41 is really not a problem at all in Roy's hands, it is not. Although there were only five drum changes, Roy found that the PPSH41 was not as comfortable changing the drum as the MP40. This is not all because of the large size of the drum itself, but because the interface between the drum and the gun body itself is not so compatible, and it needs to find a little better angle to accurately top the drum on it, compared to the MP40 magazine that can be inserted vertically, it is indeed a waste of time. Of course, it is so dangerous for a soldier armed with a submachine gun to change bullets in front of the enemy, so Roy didn't care too much about this shortcoming. (To be continued.) )
