Chapter 789: Reduce the rate of fire

Chapter 787

"Reduce the rate of fire of weapons and increase weapon damage? Isn't this

changing the assault rifle back to the old-fashioned rifle?" Listening to Chen

Xin's explanation of his ideas, the political cadres he brought to discuss

couldn't help but think of the old-fashioned rifle.

Hearing what the political cadres said, Chen Xin laughed instead: "This is

normal. The war between us and alien creatures is not just the trench battle

on the battlefield of World War I? It's just that we are fighting fiercely.

The degree is far more intense than the First World War, and both the steel

and the materials consumed are far more than the two world wars combined.

do you know? At present, the materials and ammunition that the front line

consumes every day are massive. It's just the line of defense that I inspected

last time. On average, the three battalions will destroy a ton of ammunition

in an hour. This is just the consumption of ordinary soldiers.

As for explosives and rear artillery support, although the ammunition consumed

is not so much, it is not much less. The ammunition consumed by the entire

line of defense at all times can only be calculated in units of 10,000 tons.

So even if I only reduce the rate of fire of the rifle by one round per

minute, the ammunition that can be saved is an extremely large number. "

"But having said that, it is too much work to replace the equipment on the

entire front line, and the investment will not be small." The political cadres

only made a little estimate and understood that this is by no means an easy

task. .

Chen Xin agreed with this. He nodded and said: "So I don't plan to solve the

problem at once, and don't things like changing outfits happen step by step?

Even during World War II, new equipment in various countries emerged

endlessly. Isn’t it true that many weapons developed in the middle of the war

will not be able to be generally equipped with troops until the latter part of

the war or even when it is about to end?"

Hearing Chen Xin's words, the political cadres nodded in relief. Although he

did not have the power to stop Chen Xin, he could still persuade Chen Xin

about the chaotic thoughts that might arise.

Since Chen Xin didn't have any random thoughts, he naturally wouldn't talk too

much.

"What do you plan to do, Academician Chen? Do you have any specific plans?"

The political cadres asked Chen Xin curiously.

Chen Xin thought for a while and said: "I haven't had any good ideas in a

short time. I plan to start with the electromagnetic rifle that we are

equipping the troops of European countries. This is the weapon that is being

replaced, and the effect can be seen more intuitively. "

A small land cruiser carrying supplies gradually landed, and the officer who

had been waiting on the ground for a long time hurried up with people to greet

him.

As the hatch of the land cruiser opened, several Yan Guo staff members walked

down from above.

"Hello, I am Major Ma Wen, the commander of the XX position of the XXX defense

line, and I am ordered to come and receive the supplies." The officer took out

a document from his body and handed it to the staff of Yan State, and

explained to him. The attitude is very respectful, even with a hint of

flattery.

No wonder Major Marvin took such an attitude. Because of the remote location

of his troops, his troops are still using the old equipment and did not enjoy

the benefits of replacing the new equipment provided by Yan Nation.

This time it was finally his turn to receive supplies and change equipment.

Major Marvin was very excited. Naturally, he wanted to please the staff of Yan

Country and fight for better welfare for his troops.

Although it is not the turn to replace the equipment provided by Yan Country,

Major Marvin has already heard that the people of Yan Country will provide

better weapons and equipment and better logistics supplies. If you can get

more supplies from them, don’t He said that he was pleased with his attitude,

even if he asked Major Marvin to call Yan Guoren's father in front of him, he

would not refuse.

Of course, the Yan Guo staff did not have a special hobby that made people

call their father. After receiving the certification documents handed over by

Major Marvin, and checking it with the checklist in his hand, the staff asked

people to start. Moving supplies.

"According to the numbers on the list, there are three battalions of

electromagnetic rifles and exoskeleton, as well as a platoon of power armor

and a company of new dual-purpose guns." The staff showed the list to Major

Marvin. , And explained to him the quantity of supplies: "You can get two base

ammunition and one week standard supplies for a regiment. I won’t read what is

in it. You can read the list for yourself. Everything is After packing, you

can count the quantity."

Hearing the staff say this, Major Marvin said thank you, and hurriedly asked

the people he had brought to help count the quantity of the supplies, while he

himself accompanied the staff, hoping to get closer to each other.

"This batch of electromagnetic rifles is a new modification, and its launching

power has been improved compared with the previous model. Like the previous

model, it can be compatible with the NATO standard ammunition you are

currently equipped with, but because this type of electromagnetic rifle

reduces the rate of fire, Therefore, it is still recommended to use it with

the new ammunition dispensed." The staff did not pay much attention to Major

Marvin's actions to pull the relationship, but they still explained the

equipment to him.

Major Marvin heard that the rate of fire of this type of electromagnetic rifle

had been lowered, but he did not feel that there was anything wrong, and even

thought it was a good thing.

Because for a long time, UU read www.uukanshu.com and his troops have not been

refurbished. In addition, the stationed position is relatively remote from the

supply point, and there are often things that the supply is not delivered in

time, so the ammunition is consumed. Major Wen was particularly concerned.

In fact, even if the fighting was fierce, in order to save ammunition, Major

Marvin’s troops tried to fight with three bursts of fire as much as possible,

instead of holding the trigger and not letting go, and finishing the bullet

directly.

After all, it’s cool to empty the magazine while holding the trigger, and the

killing effect is also very good, but it consumes too much ammunition.

For the logistical supplies of Major Marvin’s troops that are not necessarily

delivered on time, every bullet needs to be saved.

So for the rate of fire of the electromagnetic rifle, Major Marvin thought it

was good.

"Then what is the rate of fire of this electromagnetic rifle?" Major Marvin

asked curiously. According to his estimation, the rate of fire is actually

maintained at a rate of 300 to 400 rounds per minute, which is an ideal rate

of fire. , It can not only ensure firepower, but also reduce the consumption

of ammunition to a more acceptable level.

The answer given by the staff did not exceed Major Marvin’s expectation: “This

electromagnetic rifle has a rate of fire of 350 rounds per minute. It has

three shooting methods, single-shot, three-shot bursts, and bursts. The

magazine can hold 40 rounds. bullet."
