Chapter 239: Barrett?
If there are military enthusiasts or modern weapons enthusiasts at this time, they will definitely recognize at a glance what is inside this crusty case. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Barrett!"
This is certainly the first word that comes to mind for all those who recognize this gun, Barrett is the name of a company and synonymous with a series of firearms, and the first thing that comes to mind when mentioning Barrett is definitely the M82A1 semi-automatic sniper rifle.
The M82A1 uses the principle of short recoil of the barrel and is fired semi-automatically. The principle of the short recoil of the barrel was developed by the famous firearms designer Browning, and Barrett improved this principle to make it suitable as an automatic principle for shoulder-fired weapons.
The M82A1 model Barrett is famous because of its widespread use, and the army or police forces of more than 30 countries on the planet, including Britain, France, Belgium, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Spain, and Turkey, have been equipped with this semi-automatic sniper rifle.
Moreover, the M82A1 sniper rifle also has the reputation of "the king of heavy snipers" in the international arms community. The total length is 1448 mm, the caliber is 12.7 mm, the gun weighs 12.9 kg, and the maximum firing range is 1830 meters. Compared with ordinary sniper rifles, the M82A1 has two major advantages: one is high lethality. Not only can it shoot people, but it can also destroy high-value targets such as light armored vehicles, radars, ammunition dumps, and aircraft. The U.S. Marine Corps used Barrett to destroy Iraqi artillery command vehicles and armored personnel carriers. The second is the long range, the gun has a range of up to 2 km, and the bullet can easily penetrate the armor of an armored vehicle at a distance of 1 km. In the sniper duel, the range of the gun becomes a key factor in determining victory or defeat, and even life and death.
There are many models of "Barrett", although the most famous is M82A1, but other models produced according to different periods and different needs are not bad at all, and even the performance of some models is far more than M82A1.
For example, M82A2, Barrett M90, Barrett M95, Barrett M98, Barrett M98B, Barrett M99, Barrett XM500, Barrett XM109 and so on.
However, the Barrett that Ruya is assembling now does not match any of the models mentioned above, or it is unknown whether this firearm that resembles Barrett is the real Barrett, or this Barrett may be a secret model he has never seen.
For example, except for the XM109 Barrett, all the other officially released Barrett models use 50BMG (12.7×99mm) caliber bullets, and only XM109 uses 25mm caliber bullets.
What is the concept of a 25mm sniper bullet, take a normal model of Barrett sniper rifle as an example, a 12.7mm standard sniper bullet can penetrate a 20mm thick steel plate at 100 meters, a 16mm thick steel plate at 500 meters, and an 8mm thick steel plate at 1200 meters. This is just ordinary sniper ammunition, and if you change it to M903SLAP (light armor-piercing bullets with a cartridge), this figure will be at least doubled.
And the 25mm ordinary sniper bullet fired by the XM109 is already several percent higher than this figure. MX109 ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, ITS NORMAL 25MM STEEL CORE BULLET CAN EASILY PENETRATE A 50MM THICK STEEL PLATE WITHIN 200 METERS.
THIS IS A VERY TERRIBLE OR TERRIFYING DATA, YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE PENETRATION LIMIT TEST OF AK47 IS ONLY TO PENETRATE THE A3 SOFT STEEL PLATE OF 4MM WITHIN 200 METERS, AND IT STILL REQUIRES A NEW GUN, AND THERE IS MORE THAN HALF OF THE CHANCE OF FAILURE. XM109's data is more than ten times that of it, of course, this is also caused by the fact that the positioning of the two guns is not the same thing, the former is fast rate of fire, light weight, simple operation, and was once the mainstream weapon, while the latter is positioned from the beginning, sniper, anti-materiel, anti-light armor, used to destroy some light vehicles, communication facilities, squad weapons and aircraft parked on the ground.
IN ADDITION, IN THE NORMAL DEFINITION OF GUNS, THE LAUNCHER WITH A CALIBER OF MORE THAN 20MM IS GENERALLY CALLED A CANNON, BUT LATER THIS DEFINITION CAN ONLY BE INTERPRETED BACKWARDS DUE TO THE EMERGENCE OF A SERIES OF LARGE-CALIBER FIREARMS SUCH AS XM109, FOR EXAMPLE, A LAUNCHER WITH A CALIBER OF LESS THAN 20MM CANNOT BE CALLED A CANNON.
This is why Barrett's large-caliber sniper rifle is called a 'cannon' by most people, because the caliber of this product is obviously a 'cannon', but it has to stir up trouble in the sniper rifle team.
THE SET OF BARRETT SNIPER RIFLES OF UNKNOWN MODEL CONTAINED IN THE HARD BOX IN FRONT OF RUYA IS A 25MM CALIBER BARREL, THIS CALIBER IS KNOWN TO LUYA, ONLY XM109 IS THIS CALIBER, AND THE REST OF THE BARRETT ARE 12.7 CALIBER. This is also the reason why Ruya wondered, because this Barrett was quite different from his impression of the XM109. MOREOVER, XM109 IS A GUN MODEL THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN FINALIZED, AND IT ALSO FIRES 30MM-M789 DUAL-PURPOSE BULLETS DERIVED FROM 25MM SHAPED ARMOR-PIERCING GRENADES, IN FACT, IT IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION TO CALL IT A GRENADE GUN.
THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IT AND OTHER BARRETTS IS THAT THE BARREL LENGTH OF THE XM109 IS THE SHORTEST IN THE ENTIRE BARRETT FAMILY AS FAR AS HE KNOWS, ABOUT 450MM, AND THE REST SUCH AS THE M107 HAVE A BARREL LENGTH OF MORE THAN 900MM, WHICH IS MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE THERMAL EXPANSION AND HEAT LOSS GENERATED BY THE 25MM AMMUNITION OF THE XM109, TO PUT IT BLUNTLY, THE TECHNOLOGY HAS NOT YET DEVELOPED TO THAT POINT.
But when Ruya picked up the front and back sections, he found that the barrel of Barrett was nearly one meter long, which made Ruya feel very incredible. Friction and a series of other factors, the calculation is very complicated, I believe this is why the length of the barrel of the XM109 is less than half a meter, and the reason for the grenade, in fact, to put it bluntly, with the scientific and technological content of the XM109, there is no way to make it extend the barrel and fire a variety of ammunition, otherwise a series of problems such as a decrease in accuracy, a decrease in muzzle velocity, and a decrease in destructive power will definitely appear one after another.
"Click, click..."
A burst of skillful operation, Luya has assembled the two most important walls, although Barrett's assembly work is not complicated, but Luya has never touched or seen it before, the reason why he can assemble it so skillfully is because the information drilled into his brain when he summoned just now is different from the previous summoning, this summoning Luya was forced into some information about this Barrett in his head, there is very little information, just let Luya understand how to assemble and use the Barrett in front of him, but there is nothing about the name, performance and parameters of this gun, but this is enough, as long as it is assembled and a simple experiment, it will be almost clear.
"Click"
At first glance, I couldn't see anything, but after a closer look, I found that the scope that looked very much like 10x Leupold was gently pushed up by Ruya, and it was accurately stuck on the multi-functional tactical card slot on the upper receiver.
In the end, all that was left of the entire box was a 40-centimeter-long silencer, a box of gun oil, a set of disassembly and assembly tools, a harness, a buckskin rag, and two magazines. Looking at the smooth silencer, Ruya smacked his lips and didn't take it, and finally picked up the heavy magazine containing the normal yellow bullet and put it in the magazine slot under the receiver with a 'click'.
THIS MAGAZINE HAS A CAPACITY OF 10 ROUNDS, WHICH IS ALSO DIFFERENT FROM THE NORMAL XM109, WHICH HAS A MAGAZINE CAPACITY OF ONLY 5 ROUNDS, MAINLY DUE TO THE CONTACT DISTANCE BETWEEN THE MAGAZINE AND THE GROUND, AFTER ALL, THE 25MM AMMUNITION IS NEARLY TWICE AS THICK AS THE 12.7 AMMUNITION. And the grenade warhead is also much thicker than the normal bullet warhead and looks a little bloated, but the ammunition used by Barrett in Luya's hand is not a grenade, but a normal shape of ammunition, through the information when summoned, Luya knows that these two magazines are loaded with two types of ammunition, one is an armor-piercing bullet, which is the one now installed in the magazine, and the other is a high-explosive bullet painted with red paint.
In this way, an assembled unknown model Barrett heavy sniper rifle is assembled, and the strap is not needed, with Luya's current strength, this sniper rifle with a total weight of about 25 kilograms is nothing at all, as for the silencer, Luya can't use it now, he just wants to hurry up and take this artifact that he once dreamed of to go out and have a good time.
Throwing Barrett back on his shoulder, and then picking up the high-explosive magazine, Barrett, who was fully one meter five, was carried out of the mansion by Ruya three times, Barrett's dark color and tough appearance with a little cold storage matched with Luya's white sacrificial robe with a strong 'cultural atmosphere', produced a strong visual impact.
Carrying Barrett in the Black Rock City, Luya was naturally seen by the clansmen in the city, and now it has entered December, the weather is gradually getting cooler, and in a few days it will be the day of the second season of this year's beast ignorance harvest, and everyone has a happy smile on their faces, although they don't know what Luya is carrying on his shoulders, and they don't know why Luya's smile is so obscene, but everyone who sees Luya gives Luya's most sincere greeting.
"Patriarch, you're here, you're so happy today."
"Good afternoon, patriarch, come to my house for dinner at noon."
"What do you have to eat, patriarch, this is the egg that the chicken just laid today, it has been boiled or hot, you can eat a few"
"Go, go, the patriarch is free to delay work with you here, patriarch, this is a hot steamed bun just steamed out of the house, in a while, I will personally send it to the house for you"
"Patriarch ・・・・・" (To be continued.) )
