Chapter 422: Electromagnetic rifle

In a sense, it is very easy to make a gun, because there are only three parts

that are really necessary for a gun, the barrel, the barrel and the firing

pin.

The barrel is used to contain and excite ammunition. If it is a front-loaded

gun, the barrel needs to be airtight enough to ensure that the kinetic energy

generated when the gunpowder burns will not leak out due to the lack of

sealing, which affects the range.

The barrel is used to stabilize the trajectory of the bullet, so that the

walking after the bullet is shot out of the muzzle will not become terrible.

The bullet needs a firing pin to hit the flash hider at the bottom of the

cartridge case, and stimulate the primer to ignite the gunpowder, so the

firing pin is also an indispensable presence in a gun.

So in simple terms, if a gun has these three elements, it can be called a gun.

As for the accessories for bomb feeding, air guiding, aiming, recoil slowing

and many other functions, in a sense, they are not necessary, because the

existence of these things is just more convenient for you to use the weapon in

your hand.

But if you want to design a useful gun, these functions are all needed.

You need to slow down the recoil to stabilize the muzzle so that it does not

rise, and at the same time make the muzzle more stable during continuous

firing, allowing for more dense walks.

You need a bomb feeding mechanism that can automatically feed bombs, because

when you actually fight, you can't shoot one shot and load one bullet. That's

too inefficient.

You need a good gas guiding system, so that the gas after the gunpowder burns

in the barrel can be discharged quickly and without disturbing your sight.

Although most of the current bullet gunpowder is smokeless gunpowder, the gas

itself has a certain temperature. On the face, it is almost the same as facing

the exhaust of a truck directly at close range. It is a matter that affects

combat.

You also need a good aiming system to avoid all your hits relying on faith...

So designing a gun, especially a useful gun, is really not easy.

Chen Xin scratched his head quite a bit. Although he had a lot of ready-made

firearms and science fiction weapons as a reference, he still had no clue.

Lasers or lasers, of course, can solve the problem of energy supply. This kind

of weapon that is very common in science fiction works can already be

launched, but if the power is too small, it is of little practical

significance. If the power is too large, the cost will not be worthwhile, and

it is not as good as the traditional Firearms are simple and cheap.

As far as traditional firearms are concerned, Chen Xin has no advantage in

this respect, and he is not as good as the current firearms designers of the

country. If he only designs traditional firearms, he can send the use

requirements to the national firearms designers and let them design.

Even if a mature weapon requires a lot of time to design and modify before it

can be finalized, it is not difficult to make simple modifications on the

basis of existing weapons.

Therefore, Chen Xin prefers electromagnetic rifles.

In various sci-fi works, the power armor with electromagnetic rifle is already

a standard configuration. Not to mention, the electromagnetic rifle itself

does not rely on the kinetic energy emitted by the burning of gunpowder like

traditional firearms, and it can break through the upper limit of the power of

traditional firearms. The initial velocity is 2000m/s.

And more importantly, the electromagnetic rifle relies on electromagnetic

force to push the ammunition, so the ammunition of the electromagnetic gun can

only be the projectile itself, and the shell and charge are no longer needed,

which greatly reduces the weight of the ammunition and can also reduce the

shell ejection. Time to increase the launch speed.

Of course, for modern warfare, the power of bullets during the Second World

War was too high, so that something like reduced ammunition was developed.

Naturally, the power of firearms and bullets was not too great.

But considering that this is equipped for power armor, naturally there is a

necessary requirement, that is, it can at least penetrate power armor.

Otherwise, when it really happens that you need to face an enemy equipped with

power armor, the weapon in your hand cannot penetrate the enemy's armor, which

would be very embarrassing.

Although it is now possible to use heavy weapons to forcibly destroy power

armor, heavy weapons are heavy weapons after all, and it is impossible to use

them casually, and they are not very suitable for human hands.

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to use an electromagnetic rifle,

which has sufficient power and many other advantages at the same time.

It's just that Chen Xin is now more difficult to design an electromagnetic

rifle.

The related principle of the electromagnetic rifle is very simple, and even

with a certain amount of hands-on ability, you can make something that can

shoot out projectiles at home.

The simpler ones are the coil type and the orbital type, and the more

complicated ones are the reconnection type. It can be said that the technology

has been relatively mature, and even the Yan State military has begun to equip

experimental electromagnetic guns and electromagnetic rifles.

In terms of form, the coil type is formed earlier, can launch heavier

projectiles, and has a stable orbit and higher shooting accuracy.

The orbital type has a very high initial velocity, and the width of the two

tracks can be adjusted. Not to mention the launching of various shapes of

projectiles, but also because of the high initial velocity, the range can also

be hit very far~www.mtlnovel.com~ but only electromagnetic As far as rifles

are concerned, the coil type is more practical than the track type, because

the track type consumes more electricity and consumes more energy. As an

individual weapon, it is not practical.

However, Chen Xin did not abandon the design of the rail-type electromagnetic

rifle. Instead, after making some modifications, he came up with a version of

the sniper rifle. He planned to make one for Qin Lan, just matching her power

armor.

As for the electromagnetic rifle equipped for ordinary soldiers, Chen Xin

decided to use the coil type.

The production process is quite simple. After all, it is only the basic

application of physics knowledge in middle school. Under the premise that Chen

Xin does not pursue to create something too awesome, it is OK to find a steel

pipe and wind a few turns of copper wire. At most, 3D printing is used. Make a

shell.

The rest of the work can be handed over to the system upgrade to deal with,

and if the survival point is smashed, a useful electromagnetic rifle will

naturally come out.

In fact, it was exactly the same. After the green light flashed, an

electromagnetic rifle was already lying in front of Chen Xin.

The shape of this gun is borrowed from the C-14 electromagnetic rifle used by

the machine gunners in the StarCraft series. It uses a non-support design and

a drum for bullets. The bullet uses a 7.62mm caliber nail bullet, and the

barrel is a 40 cm. The long coil barrel, there is a Picatinny rail on the top

of the gun body, you can install different sights.

Compared with the C-14 electromagnetic rifle, the gun in front of Chen Xin is

relatively slender and not heavy. At least Chen Xin can easily pick up this

gun without being equipped with power armor and perform orders. Hand launch.

The gun body is powered by a high-performance battery installed under the

barrel. A battery can support continuous uninterrupted shooting more than 2000

times, and a drum can load 70 rounds, which is enough to support a high-

intensity battle. .
