Chapter 656: Machine Gun Fire (Part II)
"Dennis, magazine!" Andrei shouted loudly, bending down to quickly switch to the machine gun magazine handed over by the loader Dennis. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Bell, bell!" Andrei's machine gun, and Bella and Xia Bing...... No, unlike the sound of all Soviet machine guns, the sound of its firing without the slightest gap makes people shudder to hear, and its name makes its enemies feel even more chilled - MG-34.
MG-34 as the world's first general-purpose machine gun produced by Germany, at the beginning was not favored by the armament community, many Western weapons research experts but from the appearance of the conclusion that this is a shoddy weapon, and the general-purpose machine gun between light and heavy machine guns, in their eyes is completely a high is not low look.
But it turns out that they were all wrong, and they were quite wrong. When the war really started, the German army's pistols and rifles could not really be higher than the products of other countries in terms of quality, and the submachine gun was already in the leading position, but several other countries, such as Britain and the Soviet Union, also produced products suitable for their own national conditions, so the degree of leadership cannot be said to be too high.
But! Machine guns are different! No matter what country's infantry, when fighting against the German machine guns, even if they have more powerful heavy machine guns in their hands. The German-produced MG-34 machine gun was relatively easy to carry, allowing it to follow the infantry at any time, assuming it could go anywhere. And the most famous is the rate of fire, when it comes to machine guns, the rate of fire is definitely an extremely important criterion, and the MG-34 is far ahead of the products of other countries in this regard, with the rate of fire of ghosts and animals, so that the soldiers of other countries have left extremely tragic memories and trauma.
Andrei had long been fond of this machine gun, but due to various adaptability problems, he repeatedly abandoned this plan. However, during the last battle, he saw the MG-34s carried by the German secret police force, and he was greedy again. This time, he did not resist the temptation, and despite the possible inconveniences, he decided to test the feasibility of having several tanks in his squad pre-equip the machine gun.
Since it was a test, it was natural to find a few people who were more experienced in using machine guns, and needless to say, Natalia was the first candidate; In addition, Boris, who is usually happy to use machine guns, is the second choice; Finally, as the initiator of the campaign, Andrei will also test the performance of this machine gun on Soviet tanks. The rest, considering the risks of the test and the results of the test, will not test for the time being.
Before this mission, Andrei had used this machine gun several times, but most of them were just a few hits, and it was rare to shoot like this, so he didn't have any experience in using it. However, when it comes to feel, Andrei definitely has to give this German product a good review, compared to the Soviet Union's own DP machine gun, this machine gun not only has a humanized double trigger (distinguishing between short burst fire and burst fire), but also the irresistible rate of fire almost fascinates him. It's just that there are a few more steps to reload than the DP machine gun, which is a little more troublesome for one person to use the machine gun, but this does not affect its performance at all, and Andrei has almost decided to replace the squad with this machine gun now.
The reason why Andrei can always strafe is naturally that they brought quite enough machine gun ammunition, although this mission is aimed at the enemy's armored troops, but the carrying of machine gun shells does not conflict with artillery shells, considering the durability of urban warfare, Andrei ordered the team members to carry as much ammunition as possible when preparing. Although it is theoretically possible to ask for this kind of general-purpose ammunition from any friendly position, but after all, it is very laborious and laborious, rather than that, it is better to prepare more earlier, after all, their combat range this time is not large, and some additional equipment is not carried, and these vacated spaces can be left for ammunition.
"Bell, bell!" Andrei barely used short bursts, but fired an infinite number of shots where the enemy might appear, which was quite depleting of ammunition. But he relied on the fact that he had a lot of ammunition and did not worry about it at all. In this way, he changed one magazine after another. However, Andrei did not notice one thing, and that was the problem with the barrel of the MG-34. The ultra-high rate of fire brings a lot of heat energy, and the MG-34 uses an air-cooled system, although the design is not bad, but it can't really keep up with the heat generated by the ghost beast's rate of fire. Therefore, when the MG-34 is issued to soldiers, it usually comes with an additional barrel, which is replaced after the infantry uses the MG-34 to shoot continuously, because the replacement procedure is quite simple, so this seemingly cumbersome procedure will not actually reduce the combat performance of the MG-34, but will multiply its durability.
But Andrei didn't know this, and he didn't have an extra barrel in his hand, so he used the MG-34 to strafe all the time. The barrel had become quite hot due to the continuous firing, but Andrei did not notice it at all.
(PS: In fact, even if you don't change the barrel, as long as you don't use burst mode all the time, but frequently use the gap in short bursts to cool the barrel, the barrel won't get too hot.) It's just that Andrei is a pure layman for MG-34, so he didn't notice it at all. )
"Huh?" Andre hit more and more wrong, he felt that the gun in his hand was becoming more and more inaccurate, although because the rate of fire was too fast to see the landing point of each bullet, but the approximate landing point could still be seen. After several magazines were fired, he could clearly feel that fewer and fewer bullets were falling on his aim. And it was this opportunity that made him touch the iron casing on the outside of the barrel a little with questions.
"Wow!" Andre's hand was burned, he didn't expect that this shell, which didn't have much contact with the barrel, would be so hot, so the temperature of the barrel itself must be even more terrifying. Since the temperature is already so high, it is definitely normal for the bullet to be inaccurate.
"Hey...... This...... Ay! Andrei looked at the MG-34 in front of him and wanted to complain, but because it was basic common sense that a machine gun would get hot when firing continuously, he didn't even notice this, but felt sad for himself first...... (To be continued.) )
