Chapter 448: Vulcan Close Defense Cannon
There used to be a doctor named Gatling.
He saw that there were so many wounded soldiers sent down from the front lines of the battlefield that he couldn't keep it busy.
Then Dr. Gatlin thought that if a battle had been less involved, there wouldn't have been so many wounded.
So he wanted to invent a new machine gun.
He hoped that a soldier armed with such a machine gun would be able to withstand the combat effectiveness of a company alone.
This can reduce the number of soldiers on the battlefield to achieve the goal of reducing war casualties.
And then later he finally invented the Gatling gun.
Yes, you read that right.
The cross-era land war artifact was invented by a doctor.
Because it is a cross-generational one, the Gatling gun is also called a "premature baby".
For a long time after it was invented, the army was unable to fit this mass killing weapon into the firepower sequence.
At that time, the army had not yet formed the military idea of intensive firepower.
Resulting in Gatling being stopped for a while.
It's like fighting in the atmosphere, and you make a space fighter useless.
Of course, the original version of the Gatling was very rudimentary, and the disadvantages were serious.
The Vulcan cannon that became famous for generations was refined over the decades before finally evolving into the model we are familiar with today.
We don't need to care about the history of the evolution of the Gatling gun.
The 20 mm caliber M61 "Vulcan" laid the foundation for the Gatling machine gun for almost a hundred years later.
It then extended from the Army version to the Navy version and the Air Force version, and then expanded to different models of multi-barrel machine guns in different backgrounds.
The 1130 equipped by the Blue Sea Mist Fleet Girls is the Navy's most powerful version of the Super Gatling gun.
But before 1130, there were several different versions in the Navy.
One of them worth mentioning is 730.
7-barreled 30-mm anti-aircraft machine gun.
...... of the 1130 close-in defense gun Uh, Dad?
Well, don't worry about the details, you just need to know that the Type 730 close-defense gun is probably the technology of the 80s of the 19th century.
Koji castrated it and made a more primitive equivalent to the 630 version of the "Vulcan" version in the 60s.
There are no multiple types of bullet models.
There is also no electronic fire control radar.
Purely to equip the army version of the Gatling gun on a naval battleship.
The rate of fire of the 1130 close-in defense gun is 10000 rounds per minute.
And 630 ......
Koji snapped his fingers handsomely.
Immediately, several knights and maidens pushed the naval version of the M61 Vulcan machine gun perch to the firing position.
The Gatling gun we are familiar with is a tube (no matter how handsome it is, it looks like a huge thick tube), but being a single soldier means that it cannot have unlimited ammo.
The Vulcan cannon equipped with the F-14 Tomcat is only 676 rounds (some say 750 rounds).
The Vulcan Cannon is also designed to resemble the 1130 equipped with a rough-barreled turret like the Blue Sea Mist Fleet Fleet's wives.
It's more brutal though.
6 barrels were simply directly exposed.
It's the kind of governor kicking in his hands in our film and television works.
The 1130 anti-aircraft gun of the Blue Sea Mist Fleet is also covered with a protective shell on the outside of the barrel, which can be specially designed to reduce the temperature of the barrel and prolong the continuous firing time.
The target is a lifeboat.
Koji still asked for it from the old captain of Syruf.
With a command, the characteristic metallic storm roar of the Vulcan cannon machine gun sounded.
The sound of the gunfire was not sharp and harsh, but the tongue of fire several meters long in front of the muzzle of the M61 Vulcan gun was clearly visible.
This is 630.
6 tubes of 30 mm caliber naval version of Gatling.
Compare yourself with how big 30 mm is.
That's the caliber of artillery.
The muzzle flame of a naval gun with a rate of fire of more than 5,000 rounds per second was almost substantial.
Camelia and Iowa stood up stunned by the terrifying rate of fire of the Vulcan cannon.
They witnessed the whole process of the lifeboat being torn apart, shredded, and finally shattered in an instant, 200 meters away, and this process took less than 10 seconds.
10 seconds.
Almost 1000 rounds of 30-mm shells.
Even a reef island can be completely flattened by a storm of bullets.
Someone stood up.
Others sat down on the ground.
The old captain of Syruf was overturned by the frightened man's horse.
This 630 close-in defense artillery demonstration Haoji also specially gave the old captain face and invited him to visit, and at this time a cup of black tea was poured into his stomach.
Also present was the eldest brother, the Prince of Wales.
This big sister of the battleship of the Rotten Country, her eyes were shining, and she was only barely able to stabilize her mentality.
"This is ......," the admirals were so shocked that she was speechless.
"Gatling Vulcan Cannon!" The old god of Koji is sitting firmly in his position.
"Ellie, that's what they use?" Camelia has a close relationship with Avalon, and has seen the anti-aircraft fire of the Blue Sea Mist Ship's girls.
The Prince of Wales glanced at the Admiral beside him, and stopped talking.
Koji understood what the big brother was thinking.
Cast a look that reassured the Prince of Wales.
"Although there are slight differences between Ellie's equipment and this Vulcan cannon, it is indeed the same in essence."
The difference between 630 and 1130 is the accuracy of the fire control of the two electronic radars.
Essentially, they are all naval phalanxes.
Hm.
If I say that, you will believe it.
Missing several versions of weapons from two tech eras.
In addition to being equipped with a high-end fire control radar, the 1130 pays more attention to the rate of fire, range and accuracy of fire.
Similarly, without using any external configuration, 1130 can casually attack targets 3000 meters away, and 630 can only hit 500 meters.
And the hit rate is completely as big as one in the sky and one in the ground.
1130 hundred and ten rounds will hit the target.
630 may have more than a thousand rounds.
However, after the battleship is turned into a mother, their mental core can replace the role of fire control radar to a certain extent.
So in essence, there is really no difference between 1130 and 630, and Koji didn't fool him as a senior sister when he said this.
"But there is one thing I have to remind Senior Sister first, this thing is not as good as you think." Koji said.
Camelia and her Iowa looked at Koji suspiciously.
The Vulcan cannon has been demonstrated, and thousands of 30mm rounds of ammunition are poured in less than 10 seconds.
Tearing up a lifeboat is as easy as a watermelon.
It's all like this, and she hasn't thought about it well?
Tricksters.
"Hey~"
A woman has long hair and short knowledge.
I always look at the good side of things, and the other side will not react until I meet it.
"First ......"
Koji held up a finger.
"The rate of fire is equal to consumption, and you have also seen its rate of fire, senior sister, have you considered its consumption level?
Second, while having a high rate of fire and high consumption, it will also bring ultra-high loads to the ship's mother, and the Vulcan cannon can only be used as a means of short-term explosion after a long period of habit.
The third is range......
It's a bit hard to say.
I'm talking about the tabula rasa data that hasn't been assimilated by the ship's mother now.
Theoretically, the effective firing range of the Vulcan cannon can reach two kilometers, that is, two kilometers.
But in fact, because the rate of fire is too fast, the trajectory is erratic, no matter how accurate you are, you can't even think of hitting the target from 1,000 meters away......
If you want to bet on luck, then I don't have anything to say.
Suddenly, for more than ten seconds, thousands of bullets used to hit a string of bullets. ”
Koji forgot that not everyone would think of his Avalon, striving for a super high hit rate.
He's used to the standards of a world far away, where a few thousand bullets can only occasionally hit a target, and that's no different from waste.
"Finally, there is penetration...... Well, the penetration is still okay, a 30-mm shell hits a propeller aircraft, as long as it hits, it is definitely a big hole. ”
Although Koji heard that after the level of the ship's mother was raised, the carrier-based aircraft broke a big hole, and it was still alive.
After all, the 630 close-defense gun is a castrated version of Koji.
If it is used against propeller carrier-based aircraft, the range of 500 meters is definitely enough.
Four defects.
In fact, it is the first two issues that we should really pay attention to.
But it finally lowered the interest of Senior Sister Camilia and Big Sister Yahua.
The senior sister glared at the beautiful eyes angrily and dissatisfied, and Beiya bit lightly and glared at Koji.
Just know that this guy won't take out the good stuff.
The perched weapons on Aili's body have been hot for a long time.
"I just want to know if my sister Iowa can equip this Gatling Vulcan Cannon?"
"Yes, why not? I specially lowered the conditions to barely allow the battle patrol battleship to be equipped with the 630I close-in defense gun, I just told the senior sister not to compare it with Ellie's. ”
"The kind of ...... that Ellie has on her Is it true that Sister Iowa can't be equipped? ”
As she became more and more aware of the super equipment and combat effectiveness of the Avalon Capital Ship Girls, Senior Sister Camillia became more and more dissatisfied with the current situation.
A condition that can't be insufficient can no longer convince the fantasy of the senior sister.
But Koji still has to say.
Shake your head decisively.
"I've said this question more than once, senior sister, even if you want an 11-tube Vulcan cannon for you, you will also equip your ship's mother, which has no effect except for looking good."
It's one thing for the fire control system to cooperate.
The main thing is the mental load brought by the whole set of 1130 close defense guns to the ship's mother.
Without the modern fire control radar, it is all controlled by the mental core of the ship's mother, and the 1130 is enough for the ship's mind to be on the spot.
What is shown is that the ship's mother is dizzy and can't stop fighting, just like the image of excessive voltage frequency hopping, which will trip at least and burn the line at worst.
In the past, there have been several core vein burns when the operation on the Ellie hull was insufficient.
First meeting the Prince of Wales.
The time when Ellie forcibly took Koji out of her big brother's field of vision.
Afterwards, Ellie is the mass extinguishment of the core vein, in other words, most of the circuit was burned.
"And senior sister, be content, this close defense gun I gave you is the 630I type, which I specially reserved for the Ou Emperor's Mansion, senior sister, as well as Admiral Shalena and Amanda next door.
I still have a batch of 630 pseudo in my hand, which is ready to be sold to the outside world.
That thing only has an effective hit range of 200 meters.
To your senior sister you either?
It can also only be prepared for the capital ship mother.
At present, the core of the heavy cruiser class is not able to bear the load pressure brought by the close defense gun when it is in operation. ”
Senior Sister Camillia was shocked: "Senior brother, you want to sell Avalon's black technology to the outside world?" ”
As soon as you get your hands on it, it's a big killer like a close defense artillery?
