One hundred and ninety-two, the actual machine test (II)

Previous Chapter

In addition to power, the endurance of the origin is also expressed in other directions.

Both the problem of supply in connection with the battle.

As a prototype that is still in the testing stage, Rowling does not currently have many weapons for the Origin.

The primary weapon is a ...... called "Shower". Assault rifle? Or maybe it's a machine gun?

Well...... Wender was a little confused about what type it belonged to.

In terms of construction, it had a number of features of a machine gun: a rotating multi-barrel with a high rate of fire and a large caliber; However, in terms of use, especially when supplied to power mechs, it is positioned similarly to assault rifles.

It also has a three-speed switch of point-fire, auto-fire, and strafe, and the rotatable multi-barrel is only activated when the strafing gear is used; The maximum rate of fire per minute can reach more than two thousand rounds; The 12.7 caliber bullet is enough to smash any humanoid target that lacks cover;

The huge recoil is a disadvantage in itself, and even genetically modified beasts are difficult to control, but the extra strength and support brought by the power mecha can easily and completely offset it.

Shower, along with its sisters, has been one of the most commonly used and best combat weapons in the wasteland.

But...... It is also not completely flawless and free of flaws.

The gun is a common firearm for the human body, mecha, and vehicle, which means that although it has made some compromises and modifications for the mecha, the overall use method is still biased towards the human body.

There are a lot of components such as grips and triggers, and when you wear a mecha to use it, you still have to hold it with both hands and aim at yourself with your eyes.

This brings up a problem...... Not only the origin, but also the hands of many power mecha are mechanical prosthetics that have been extended.

Even with the powerful feedback system, there is still a big difference in the tactile feel of use.

…………

Although Rowling has repeatedly claimed: "The origin has a power limit switch, which can be used normally in non-combat mode, and there will be no overpower." ”

However, Winder was still quite careful when he removed the shower from the right shoulder mount. It took him a few seconds to make sure he had a solid grip on the gun before pulling it out.

The overall length of the gun body in the shower is close to 1.5 meters, and it will inevitably look a little awkward and funny if a normal person wants to use it upright.

But when the subject is replaced with a power mecha with a height of two meters and two arms and longer arms, this ratio is unexpectedly harmonious.

Holding the whole end to his chest, Wende did not feel the slightest awkwardness, and it took a little longer, and the bigger reason was the feeling of strangeness caused by not getting used to it.

He shot at the distance with the mechanical crosshair above the shower, and instead of shooting immediately, he observed left and right first.

Caterina, who had experience with mecha experience, was obviously faster than him, and was already shooting over there with great interest. At first, the results were a little embarrassing, but as she became more familiar with the origin, she was able to reach the ten rings of the gun immediately.

On the other side, Guan Sanniang didn't surprise him, and now he is still fiddling with the gun.

Winder looked at her embroidery amusemently, shook his head amusedly, and turned his attention back.

Standard, shooting, feeling good, but not on target.

Su Ying, who was helping to observe, immediately reported: "The direction is off at 11 o'clock, about an inch...... Three centimeters! ”

The bullet of the shower itself is very fast, but at the moment it is a tracer bullet that is easy to observe, not only Su Ying, who is observing with equipment, but also Wende himself.

It's a little bit embarrassing.

Because it was used for testing, he didn't turn on the ability to assist aiming, and it turned out that his real shooting level didn't seem to be as good as he thought.

Or, too much reliance on secondary projectiles.

Winder exhaled, ignoring Carter's teasing on the side: "Your level is a bit bad, how's that?" Do you want my sister to teach you by hand? Concentrate and shoot again.

Successfully on the target, the score of seven rings.

This is a good start, Winder continued to shoot, twenty rounds in a row, and although the final result was not Catalina's perversion, it also averaged 8.4 rings, which is also excellent.

After firing like this for a period of time and summarizing their respective situations, they began to conduct long and short burst fire in automatic transmission, as well as multi-target fire suppression tests in strafing gears.

Overall, it feels pretty good, especially in strafing mode, where the bullet storm shoots out, but the crosshair can be kept floating in a small area in the mech's grasp, driving targets and objects flying and shattering...... It's an indescribable feeling!

Power mechs are considered an illusion weapon in Wende's homeland that can be realized in the near future.

The positioning belongs to the heavy infantry.

Compared with ordinary infantry, its advantage lies in the firepower advantage brought by its strong weight-bearing capacity.

This is also reflected in the mechs of the wasteland world.

Taking Shower as an example, it has 30 or 50 large and small magazines, 100, 200, 500 large, medium and small drums, and the final chain selection.

However, because the weight of the empty gun is not light, in the case of the human body, unless it is used as a machine gun for defensive fire, the use of large magazines of more than 50 rounds is almost extinct.

This situation is not a problem at all for power mechs, and the drums themselves appear for mechs. And even if it is a large drum with 500 rounds, it will not affect the shooting and movement of the mecha.

In addition to the difference in the choice of ammunition, there is also a huge difference in the amount of ammunition that can be loaded.

If a five-round drum is used as a standard base, it is very common for any mech to carry five or six basic ammo, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

……

Of course, these are just the advantages of ordinary power mechs.

On the Origin, she still managed to strengthen it even further!

It is still based on the characteristics of the vehicle, and there is a breakthrough at the basic level.

Originated from the amount of carrying, because of the space and structure, it has no advantage over ordinary mecha (maybe it is not as good).

However, the "manufacturing" ability of the combat vehicle allows the endurance of ammunition to be maintained almost indefinitely!

On the left and right flanks of the Origin, there is a Shower Ammo Maker that can provide large drums that can be molded in one go, as well as single or large magazines, respectively.

In the case that all raw materials are supplied and looted from the outside, they can be manufactured after reaching different resource standards each time, and they can reach the manufacturing speed per drum / half an hour, or per round / five seconds.

And if you are prepared in advance, you can not only greatly reduce the demand for materials, but also make the manufacturing speed faster!

So in addition to having to aim at itself and being a little inconvenient to use, Winder felt that Shower had no shortcomings.

Rowling probably thought the same way, so she added another weapon to the Origin in addition to her primary weapon.

A small rapid-fire gun with a caliber of 80mm located on the left shoulder of the mech!

Its aiming is all done by the fire control system of the origin, and the whole process is automatically fed.

When firing at stationary targets, stationary firing can achieve fifteen rounds per minute, and when the mecha is moving, it can also reach the level of ten rounds per minute.

When aiming at a moving target, the speed is less than thirty per hour, the target with a simple trajectory of movement, the calculation burden on the fire control system is very low, and the rate of fire is hardly affected.

Its effectiveness decreases significantly only when dealing with high-speed targets, as well as complex situations.

In addition, it is because of the rifling problem caused by the length of the barrel that its aiming range does not exceed one kilometer, otherwise the accuracy will drop sharply, and it is somewhat close.

But the target of the mecha itself is very small, and it is relatively easy to stealthily get closer, and it is not impossible to make up for it.

So in general, rapid-fire guns are enough as a supplementary weapon for showers.

In particular, it can use a variety of ammunition, and with the size and flexibility of the mecha, it can also ensure a certain lethality against a small number of vehicles on the battlefield, not without the power of a battle!

Finally, the origin of the ammunition used in rapid-fire guns is, of course, self-made.

Wende and the others began to experiment with these, and stationary shooting was almost done by the fire control system, and all the wearer needed was to pull the trigger, and there really wasn't much to test.

So soon, it turned to marching shooting.

In addition to the human-like running method, there are additional thrusters on the back and feet, which can provide huge propulsion capacity in a short time, allowing the mecha to jump more than ten meters and perform high-speed maneuvers in a short time; or stay in mid-air for a short time; Or the ability to move forward at high speeds in a short period of time.

It is precisely because of the presence of these thrusters that the mecha can maintain a certain threat to the vehicle under the premise that its own armor is far inferior to that of the vehicle.

Therefore, learning to attack in this kind of movement is a very rare and important skill for every mecha wearer.

Rowling had expected that with Winder and Sister Guan's proficiency in the operation of mechs, they would spend a lot of time on this test.

But she didn't expect it, although it was indeed as she expected at the beginning, because she didn't understand it, there were many funny jokes; However, it didn't take long for Wen De and Third Sister Guan to have a surprising skillful performance!

It's like they've had a similar experience before, and they're pretty good at it......!
