Look at this strange-looking firearm in front of you!
He took a closer look at the diameter of the barrel and found that it was indeed close to the number 20mm!
This is not a joke on him, but real? It really has a 20mm diameter!
All of a sudden!
"This seems to really have a 20mm caliber!"
"Why is the caliber of this gun so large?"
"Is this some kind of anti-materiel weapon rifle?"
Lao Tian suddenly took a deep breath, his face full of shock.
You know, the bullets generally used in conventional large-caliber sniper rifles are only 12.7mm.
If the caliber of this gun is 20mm, it will not fire bullets, but directly fire small-caliber shells!
Generally it will only be used on various large-caliber anti-equipment rifles, or many small-caliber high-speed rapid fire cannons.
The Academy of Sciences actually plans to equip it with an electromagnetic rifle? This is outrageous!
Listening to Lao Tian's somewhat frightened words.
"Commander Tian. This is the latest developed electromagnetic weapon!"
"The performance is outstanding in terms of kinetic energy, so the caliber of the firearm needs to be increased."
"In this way, it can maximize its power."
Jiang Chen explained with a smile and showed off the electromagnetic rifle in his hand!
He was quite expecting Lao Tian's horrified reaction!
After all, anyone who hears that a conventional rifle has such a large caliber will probably be shocked!
Hear this.
"Electromagnetic weapons developed by the Academy of Sciences??"
"A 20mm caliber electromagnetic rifle? This is too big."
Lao Tian was stunned for a moment and said incredulously.
Although he is the commander of the Air Force, he is also very familiar with new weapons such as electromagnetic weapons.
After all, pilots also need to carry pistols when performing missions.
This electromagnetic weapon was completely different from the one he had known before, and its caliber was also several times larger!
The electromagnetic weapons previously developed by the Academy of Sciences seemed to have a caliber of only a few millimeters.
Think of this.
"Chief Engineer Jiang, you electromagnetic weapons!"
"How powerful can it be? Is it probably more powerful than an ordinary automatic rifle?"
"Otherwise, I'm sorry, it's such a terrifying caliber..."
Lao Tian quickly asked the question he was most concerned about!
He was very curious about how powerful such a large-caliber electromagnetic weapon could be!
Before Jiang Chen could speak.
Zhao Xiu on the side answered his question:
"This electromagnetic rifle is quite powerful."
"This is a full 33,000 joules of kinetic energy, and ordinary rifles cannot compare with it!"
His tone was still full of exclamation.
The kinetic energy of general automatic rifles, such as the well-known M14, AK47 rifles or the domestic Bayi Bar, etc., is almost 3,000! (Full power bullet.)
This is almost a tenfold performance gap, which can be described as a world of difference!
Zhao Xiudu began to imagine how powerful the Gundam mecha would be when paired with this electromagnetic weapon.
"This thing has more than 30,000 joules of kinetic energy??"
"How powerful is this emission?"
"A large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle can't reach this data?"
Lao Tian froze in place again, mumbling to himself.
The most powerful firearm currently has a kinetic energy data of only 28,000 joules. Even if this is used as an anti-aircraft anti-aircraft cannon, I'm afraid it's enough!
How this didn't shock him.
However.
Dean Lin Congli, who was standing aside, was not too surprised at this time and just nodded slightly.
He already knew the kinetic energy of electromagnetic weapons, and even more than 30,000 joules was far from its limit.
Jiang Chen had said before that the highest kinetic energy could even exceed 80,000 joules!
That number is truly shocking!
At this moment.
"General Engineer Jiang, Academician Wang... So what is the rate of fire of your weapon? How many rounds of ammunition can be loaded at one time?"
"With such terrifying kinetic energy, its range cannot reach more than two or three thousand meters?"
"Are you planning to use it as a long-range sniper rifle?"
Lao Tian finally calmed down and asked immediately.
In his opinion, the purpose of this electromagnetic rifle should be similar to that of a large-caliber sniper rifle!
Although it is relatively powerful, its performance in other aspects will naturally be relatively low.
The rate of fire and ammunition load are definitely much lower than those of conventional rifles.
Hear this.
"It's up to you to answer this question, Academician Wang!"
"I'm also very curious, what is its rate of fire?"
"Looking at this situation, it shouldn't be much lower than theoretical expectations, right?"
Lin Congli stared at the weapon in his hand and said with a smile.
Although he had already roughly estimated the rate of fire and power of this electromagnetic weapon.
But I still want to hear the actual performance data. How much difference will there be?
Even Zhao Xiu and others on the side also showed a trace of doubt and expectation in their eyes.
The rate of fire is also very important for firearms!
It can even determine the upper limit of the power a weapon can achieve.
"This new type of high-energy electromagnetic weapon is equally excellent in terms of rate of fire!"
"The maximum rate of fire can reach 3,000 rounds/minute!"
"In terms of fire rate performance, it can reach more than 4 times that of conventional automatic rifles!"
"A high-intensity continuous shooting speed that can be sustained for more than two minutes!"
Wang Zhize continued to explain, with unbearable joy in his words.
Listen to this data.
In an instant, everyone in the entire institute was suffocated.
Although they were prepared in their hearts, they were still frightened by such a high rate of fire!
This is several times more powerful than an ordinary rifle, and the rate of fire is four to five times higher!
This performance is simply terrifying!
“3000 rounds per minute??”
"The rate of fire is not bad, but it meets the theoretical expectations."
Jiang Chen touched his chin, thought for a moment and then said.
He was not too surprised by this rate of fire. After all, high-energy electromagnetic weapons themselves were completely different from traditional firearms.
This uses high-energy electromagnetic particles to accelerate projectile launches, and does not require conventional firing at all.
Even this rate of fire is far from reaching the limit of high-energy electromagnetic weapons.
There is still a long way to go from the basic theoretical values he provided!
only.
“Chief Jiang’s rate of fire is just okay??”
"This is outrageous, okay? This is a rate of fire of three thousand rounds per minute!"
"It's equivalent to fifty rounds per second. Can it still sustain continuous shooting for two minutes?"
"Is this really a joke?"
Lao Tian's eyes widened and he said with great shock!
He really couldn't believe that the rate of fire of this weapon could be so outrageous!
More importantly, its kinetic energy and caliber are beyond the reach of ordinary firearms.
The bullets fired in one second are almost equivalent to two regular rifle magazines!
"Doesn't this mean that it is equivalent to the rate of fire of a rapid-fire aircraft cannon?"
"This is actually a rifle?"
Lao Tian looked at the electromagnetic rifle in Jiang Chen's hand, as if he was in a daze, muttering to himself.
He immediately thought of the rapid-fire cannons on fighter jets, most of which seemed to have a firing rate of just over 3,000 rounds!
More importantly, this electromagnetic rifle can actually fire continuously for two minutes!
This is not an automatic rifle. Even if it is used as a close-in defense gun for a ship, it is more than enough!
Before Commander Tian could react.
"It's only 3,000 rounds per minute. It's a pity that this technology verification model is only produced with a caliber of 20mm!"
"If we follow the original research and development plan and manufacture a 30mm caliber electromagnetic rifle!"
"Its rate of fire should be improved a lot, not just a little bit."
"Even the kinetic energy has been reduced by half, to just over 30,000 joules."
Jiang Chen shook his head with a hint of regret and sighed.
The performance data of this 20mm electromagnetic rifle can only be said to be unsatisfactory, and it can only meet the standard.
After that, they will definitely have to manufacture and develop a 30mm electromagnetic rifle and upgrade it in all aspects.
I just finished saying this!
"Chief Engineer Xijiang, is this caliber not enough?"
"Next, will we continue to develop a 30mm gun? Will the kinetic energy be doubled?"
"Can that thing still be called a gun?"
When Lao Tian heard this, he felt numb!
I thought that the 20mm caliber was outrageous enough, but I didn’t expect that there would be larger calibers?
30mm caliber gun? Can that still be called a gun?
Good guy, is this a bullet with a diameter of more than three centimeters? What if this kind of warhead hits the human body?
Thinking of this scene, he shuddered instantly.
This is even more powerful than the level shot of an anti-aircraft gun, and even more powerful!
Suddenly.
"Academician Wang, what is the actual power of this electromagnetic rifle? What is its effective killing range?"
"And what's its maximum bullet capacity?"
Zhao Xiu, who was standing aside, asked, with doubts in his eyebrows.
No matter how terrifying the paper data is, the effective killing range, actual power and bullet capacity.
This is the most critical question!
"Its effective killing range and bullet capacity are" Wang Zhize was about to explain.
At this time.
Jiang Chen interrupted and said:
"How about this, let's find a place to test it."
"Look at the actual performance of this electromagnetic rifle. What kind of performance can it achieve?"
"It's also good to give us an intuitive feeling."
The words just fell.
For a moment, everyone in the entire institute fell silent.
"I think it's okay, then just do as Mr. Jiang says."
"Go find an experimental site and test it, otherwise it won't be interesting to watch it so dryly!"
"Indeed, this electromagnetic rifle also needs to be tested in actual combat."
"But...how to test such a powerful power?"
Dean Lin, Zhao Xiu and others nodded and spoke, agreeing with Jiang Chen's statement.
After all, seeing is believing and hearing is believing!
No matter how good the performance data is, it is difficult to intuitively understand its power!
The group of people walked towards the outside of the institute.
now.
Located on the outskirts of Yanjing, outside a military camp.
A man in Army uniform was standing at the door waiting for someone.
Just now.
He received an emergency call from above, and the Academy of Sciences planned to come over to their side.
But he didn't tell him the purpose of his visit, which made him feel very confused.
After a while, several cars slowly stopped at the door.
"Dean Lin, why do you want to come here suddenly?"
"Is there any new equipment suitable for the army?"
He was asking Dean Lin when he suddenly saw another acquaintance.
"Huh?? Lao Tian, why did you come here too?"
"If you don't stay at the air force base, why do you come to us?"
Looking at Lao Tian, his sworn enemy, he was even more confused now!
Why is it that not only the Academy of Sciences is coming this time, but also Lao Tian, a guy from the Air Force?
"What? Can't I come over here and take a look?"
"Are you hiding some treasure? You don't want me, Lao Tian, to know?"
Lao Tian put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile.
The two have known each other for twenty or thirty years, so naturally they are extremely familiar, almost every time they meet.
"Commander Chen, if we come here this time."
"I plan to borrow your army's shooting range to experiment with new weapons!"
"The shooting range of our Academy of Sciences is really too small."
Lin Congli slowly opened his mouth to explain his purpose.
When they were preparing to conduct a practical test of electromagnetic weapons, they found that the shooting range inside the Academy of Sciences was too small.
In such a short distance, it is impossible to display its full power.
That's why I came to this unit closest to the Academy of Sciences to conduct some tests.
Hear this.
“The shooting range of the Academy of Sciences is too small??”
"How is this possible? Isn't that a standard shooting range?"
Commander Chen said with a confused expression.
He remembered that the shooting range of the Academy of Sciences could reach a distance of more than four hundred meters.
Conventional rifles and even sniper rifle training are already enough for use, so why are they still small?
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said quickly:
"Do you plan to test small missiles?"
"Or are we talking about long-distance strikes with heavy firepower weapons?"
If it weren't for testing these weapons and equipment, there would be no need to come to their army!
However.
"Chen directed us to come here this time just to test a firearm."
"An electromagnetic rifle."
"It's not a missile or a heavy weapon!"
Jiang Chen shook his head and denied this statement.
In his confused eyes.
Wang Zhize slowly took out a firearm from a box.
Looking at the cool and sci-fi appearance, Commander Chen naturally recognized it at a glance!
"Electromagnetic weapons?"
"Just testing this firearm?"
As an army unit closely related to firearms, it was natural to recognize what this weapon was at a glance.
Electromagnetic weapons are not a new concept, and he has even tested them himself several times.
How is it possible that the shooting range of the Academy of Sciences is not enough? The previous electromagnetic weapons were not very powerful!
Just when his mind was filled with questions.
"No. There's something wrong with the caliber of this weapon?"
"Hey, is this caliber used to fire artillery shells?"
Suddenly, Commander Chen looked at this caliber with a look of horror on his face!
You actually call this thing a gun?
If this caliber hits a person, I'm afraid the Geneva Convention will make them cry.
I looked at the anti-aircraft guns and they were so embarrassed!
You are simply competing with it for a job!
