The gun was smoking, but it wasn't really a big deal. When the gun fires continuously, the temperature inside the gun chamber will soar rapidly, even reaching several hundred degrees, and the entire barrel may burn red.
The handguard on the gun will also ignite due to the high temperature, or even burn directly.
In addition, the gun oil and butter used for lubrication in the gun will burn and smoke due to high temperature, which is normal. Under normal circumstances, you need to stop shooting at this time to allow the barrel to cool down naturally, or to replace the barrel.
In fact, many machine guns are equipped with a second barrel to facilitate replacement and cooling. In order to avoid this situation, people conducted research and exploration on barrel shooting cooling, and finally developed two technologies, which are air cooling and water cooling technology.
To put it simply, air cooling means using a heavy barrel and adding radiators on the barrel to dissipate heat. The more famous ones in this regard are the Type 92 heavy machine gun equipped by the little devils during the Anti-Japanese War, also known as "Bright Sword" Inside, the heavy machine gun that Li Yunlong was reluctant to throw away when he broke out and retreated was a representative example of air-cooling.
In addition, there are the German G34 and G42 general-purpose machine guns during World War II, as well as the old American M2 heavy machine gun, which are all air-cooled and heavy-barreled machine guns.
The water-cooled machine gun is earlier. The most typical and most representative one is the Maxim heavy machine gun that you often see in movies and TV series. It has a very thick cylinder on the barrel. The inside of this cylinder It will be filled with water, which can cool down the barrel.
During normal marches, in order to reduce weight and facilitate portability, there is no water in this cylinder. When it comes time to actually fight, you need to fill it with water. Therefore, there will be a soldier in the heavy machine gun squad carrying a bucket of water to prepare.
However, because the air-cooled machine gun was too bulky, this method was gradually eliminated and replaced by the current heavy barrel machine gun.
Luo Kai nodded when he heard Wu Hao's words, then removed the ammunition box and inspected the gun, then looked at the scrapped car that was sieved in the distance and said: "Let's go over and take a look."
Of course Wu Hao knew Luo Kai's little thoughts, and immediately nodded and accompanied Luo Kai and Pang Zhengqing to the car that was shot into a sieve.
After walking in, everyone was surprised by the appearance of this car. One side of the car was full of bullet holes, which were very dense. After the bullets penetrated some of the car's body, they flew to the other side of the body. However, because the shape of the bullet changes after passing through the body on this side, it will roll over completely. Therefore, the bullet holes on the body on the other side are larger, and they are all torn small holes.
The seats inside the car were also hit by bullets and fell apart. Not only that, even the wheel hub of the car was punctured. I don’t know who made the rumor that the wheel hub can stop bullets.
Upon seeing this, Luo Kai immediately picked up a deformed bullet from the ground. The entire bullet had deformed, the outer steel shell cracked, and the lead inside had leaked out.
The steel shell exploded along the preset seams and exploded into a sunflower, which looked quite pretty. However, Luo Kai and Pang Zhengqing did not feel any good in this. Instead, they took a breath of cold air.
Just imagine, if such a bullet is fired into the human body, it will explode like this. Then the organs and tissues in the human body will inevitably be severed by these exploded steel shells. Even if they continue, they will be mixed into a ball of paste, which will be extremely traumatic. big.
Seeing this, the two couldn't help but think of another type of bullet, which was the explosive bullet. To put it simply, the warhead is hollow and has a preset cracking line, so that the bullet will explode completely after hitting an object, and these warhead fragments will fly everywhere on the body.
At present, this kind of bullet is banned by order, and it is still widely used only among the people of Laomi. Of course, the reason why Lao Mi was allowed to use it despite the world's disapproval is because although this kind of bullet has great lethality, its penetrating power is weak and cannot hit the bulletproof vest of the rice police. This is the fundamental reason.
This time the two finally saw the power of this bullet. The bullet holes on the scrapped car were the best proof of its super penetrating ability.
The deformed bullet also means that it has strong lethality. In this respect, it has surpassed traditional bullets.
It's best not to sell this gun. I can't imagine others holding this gun to deal with us. Luo Kai took a breath, and then said solemnly to Wu Hao.
Wu Hao nodded slightly when he heard this, and then shook his head.
Unless this gun is directly banned, it cannot be stopped. Electromagnetic weapons are a trend. Even without our electromagnetic gun, it is estimated that other electromagnetic guns will appear in the next few years.
In fact, there are already similar electromagnetic guns on the market, but their power and performance cannot be compared with ours.
Speaking of this, Wu Hao laughed: "But it doesn't matter. Equipped with our mechanical exoskeleton protective armor, this kind of bullets and electromagnetic guns are still invulnerable.
The spear and the shield themselves complement each other. While the spear is getting sharper, the shield is also constantly improving its protective performance.
However, with the further development of electromagnetic weapons, the shield's protective power is being weakened little by little. "
A very simple example, such as the current electromagnetic gun, is difficult to defend. The electromagnetic guns currently equipped by the Navy can have a range of more than 100 kilometers. They use tungsten-core armor-piercing projectiles or solid shells. Some electromagnetic guns use inert ammunition for their shells, but currently most electromagnetic guns use inert ammunition. All these solid shells are used.
This is mainly because the muzzle velocity of the electromagnetic gun is too fast. It is difficult for traditional artillery shells to withstand such speed and force, and it is easy to detonate in advance, so this kind of solid artillery shells should be used intelligently.
Although its trajectory is relatively fixed, its speed is too fast, and it is a solid steel cannonball, so traditional interception weapons have no effect on it. Missiles can't do anything to him, and the tungsten-core armor-piercing bullets from the rapid-fire cannon will be scratched if they hit it, causing no damage at all, so it is almost impossible to intercept.
And what you see are just our individual rifle systems. We also have anti-material electromagnetic guns, which use 12.7 mm bullets and have greater power, faster fire rate, longer range, and better penetration capabilities. Stronger.
So using it to make mechanical exoskeleton protective armor is basically like using chopsticks to poke a hole in tofu. Therefore, in the face of such weapons, mechanical exoskeleton protective armor will face survival problems, just like no matter how strong the body armor is, it cannot withstand a shot from an anti-material sniper rifle.
