Chapter 699: The idea of ​​double assembly

"The idea of dual-machine guns is indeed feasible, but it is not practical."

After receiving the report from Jiang Juan, Chen Xin's evaluation after

reviewing it was not practical.

"Academician, why do you think it is not practical? Isn't the design of the

dual cannon doubled the amount of firepower delivered?" Jiang Juan, who was

called to the office by Chen Xin, was a little unconvinced.

The idea she put forward was derived from her actual experience on the

battlefield, and being directly denied by Chen Xin in this way obviously made

her unacceptable.

Chen Xin shook his head and asked her, "Since you are a Titan pilot and have

used a cannon... Then I ask you, what cannon does the squad type use?"

"The gun of the Koushi-type is a 23-1 aircraft cannon with a caliber of 23mm.

It uses a 23mm standard aircraft cannon shell, which is a single-barrel

sliding movement cannon." As the pilot, Jiang Juan drove himself The Titans

and supporting equipment are still very familiar.

Chen Xin nodded slightly, and was still very satisfied with her business

ability, so he then asked: "Not to mention the technical difficulty of the

dual installation modification. I only ask you, connect two machine guns in

parallel to make a double With the combined cannon, what is the distance

between the two muzzles, have you calculated it?"

"This..." Jiang Juan hesitated, but quickly replied loudly: "Report, no!"

"No more than 20 cm." Chen Xin announced the answer to Jiang Juan, and

explained: "I haven't thought about the design of the dual-barreled cannon,

and it is not even that there are no dual-barreled cannons that can be used,

but in the end we still Choosing a single-barrel cannon is not because you

can’t use double-barreled or don’t want to use double-barreled. It’s because

double-barreled cannons have twice as much firepower than single-barreled

cannons and cannot perform well on the battlefield Effect."

"Why? One more barrel, can't one more shell be fired, causing more damage?"

Jiang Juan asked strangely.

Chen Xin shook his head, obviously disappointed that Jiang Juan was able to

ask such a question, but he still explained: "If it is used to hit targets

such as planes or tanks, then double the firepower delivery can really solve

the problem. But the problem is that we are now fighting alien creatures.

One round of 23mm general-purpose machine gun ammunition is enough to

penetrate the outer shell of alien creatures and cause effective damage. To a

large extent, one more round is still hit in the same position. In addition to

exploding the target more fragments, and Can not effectively improve the

damage efficiency of alien creatures. "

Adding a barrel can indeed increase the delivery of ammunition, which can

indeed increase the probability of effective killing when dealing with armored

targets such as tanks and aircraft.

After all, you can't make one shell just destroy a tank or an airplane, but

one more shell can increase your chances of destroying the target.

However, when the target is replaced by an alien creature that can be killed

by a single cannonball, adding a barrel and doubling the amount of ammunition

delivered is just a waste of ammunition.

One shot that can kill a target does not require two shots to kill. The two

barrels are so close together that two shells basically only hit one target.

One shot can ensure the kill, and two shots just blow up the target. It is

even more broken, and there will be no such thing as two barrels that can hit

two different targets.

In fact, the multi-barreled cannon was just a way to increase the rate of fire

when the gun’s firing rate was not enough in the past.

But for the modern military industry, it can already achieve a very high rate

of fire, and the amount of ammunition delivered in one minute can even reach

thousands of rounds. At this time, the multi-barreled machine gun becomes

tasteless and impractical.

And this is why there are fewer and fewer gun barrels on modern warships.

Except for the Gatling-style revolving design, there have been very few multi-

barreled designs.

Because with the blessing of modern technology, a single cannon barrel is

enough to ensure a sufficient rate of fire to smash enough artillery shells at

the enemy.

After listening to Chen Xin's explanation, Jiang Juan couldn't help feeling

depressed. Although she still felt a little unconvinced, she also understood

that her ideas were not so realistic at this time.

"But you don't have to be depressed. Although it is redundant to say that a

dual-mounted cannon is a bit redundant, it does not mean that it has no

reference value at all." Chen Xin comforted Jiang Juan.

But his words are not purely comforting people, but they do have a certain

reference value.

"We really need to increase the amount of firepower to fight against alien

creatures." Seeing Jiang Juan's puzzled expression, Chen Xin explained to her:

"It's not a matter of simply increasing the rate of fire or adding an extra

barrel. What's the point, because doing so will only smash a large amount of

ammunition on the same target, and this is a very inefficient practice for

this war.

What we really want is to smash more ammunition on the enemy's head per unit

time, but we must also avoid throwing too much ammunition on the same target.

And to achieve these two goals at the same time is the key to my design of the

soldier type into three weapon positions, because in this way, three weapons

can project ammunition to three different targets at the same time, which

effectively improves firepower delivery. At the same time, it also improves

the killing efficiency. "

"Isn't my thoughts meaningless in this case?" Jiang Juan also understood Chen

Xin's thoughts at this time. He obviously didn't want to waste a lot of

ammunition on the same target.

"It's really meaningless for Titans, but for ordinary weapons, it has a

different meaning." For Jiang Juan's vision, Chen Xin is not comforting her,

but it does have a certain reference value. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Ordinary weapons? Academician, do you mean individual weapons?" Although you

are a Titan pilot, Jiang Juan still knows the weapons equipped by ordinary

soldiers: "They are using heavy machine guns now? Do you plan to make that

one? Double pack?"

"Yes, for a 23mm machine gun, one shell is enough to kill alien creatures, but

for a heavy machine gun, it is only capable of penetrating the outer shell of

alien creatures." Chen Xin is actually early. There are plans to increase the

lethality of individual weapons, but there has been no good idea.

Coupled with the busyness of various things, he can't spare time to design new

weapons.

But now Jiang Juan’s idea of dual installation gave him a new inspiration,

and it was just adding existing weapons together. It didn’t require too much

redesign. It was simple and easy to operate. A very practical idea.

"This idea of yours is very meaningful, and there will be a formal award for

you later." Chen Xin looked at Jiang Juan and said with a smile to her.

However, Jiang Juan bit her lip and asked Chen Xin: "Academician, can I not

reward it? I still want to replace my Titan with a dual-mounted cannon."
