Chapter 1371 Communication
China used to be a copper-poor country, so even the bullets had to use steel bullets, but now there is no shortage of copper, so it is normal for bullets to use copper bullets again. After all, copper bullets have many more advantages than steel shell bullets. of.
In the past, the biggest disadvantage of copper-cased bullets in China was that there were no minerals in the country and the output was small. Now the output of this thing is the first large-scale copper-gold mine discovered in Daqin, and it is also a copper-rich mine, which is extremely easy to mine, and among them According to preliminary calculations, the reserves of copper have reached 11 million tons, and the reserves of half-life gold have exceeded 800 tons.
As for gold, don’t be afraid that if there is too much gold, it will depreciate in value, because with the development of high technology, the amount of gold used in technology products will increase. Many industrial products use gold, so its No amount of production is enough.
However, Jiang Yanhai and the others are still using steel-cased ammunition. Who makes the production of steel-cased ammunition more, so it is better to use up this thing first. As for the later troops to start replacing copper-cased ammunition, they will change them in reality first.
When they arrived at the square below, Lin Dianshuai hesitated and said, "Aren't you afraid that Taotie will attack now?"
"It's okay, we have someone watching, we can go up anytime." Jiang Yanhai smiled slightly.
He can't say that there are three large drones in the sky at the moment reconnaissance at high altitudes, and there are also micro drones at low altitudes for reconnaissance. In fact, if you look carefully, you can still find them.
After all, the sky at this moment is in a cloudless state, but they don't know what is flying in the sky. Almost like a bird.
"Okay." Lin Dianshuai nodded.
The manual belt installation machine is actually very simple. It is just a relatively ordinary machine. The disintegrating belt is placed on the palm-width workbench on the right side of the machine, and there is a special feeder on the left. The trapezoidal groove is like the entrance of a machine for processing corn.
Put the bullet head inside to the right, then turn the small handle next to it, turn it around, and a bullet will be automatically pushed from the machine entrance to the workbench on the right by something like a bolt, and then pushed directly Put it into the disintegrating metal bullet chain, turn the bullet chain to automatically install a bullet, and the speed is still very fast.
But this is manual after all, because there is no electricity here, it is still troublesome to install this thing.
But this is actually very good, at least it can be used in China now. If it used to be, non-disintegrable ammunition chains or semi-disintegrable ammunition chains were used.
The oldest non-dispersible ammunition chain is the canvas chain during World War II. Bullets are stuffed into the middle of the canvas, and a bullet chain is formed by stuffing them in one by one. However, after the machine gun is used up, the canvas chain is still intact and can continue. use.
But the canvas chain is prone to failure, so during World War II, you can see that there must be a person next to the heavy machine gun to maintain the stability of the ammunition chain to ensure the stable output of the machine gun, and this canvas ammunition chain was abandoned after World War II.
After World War II, countries such as the former Soviet Union began to use metal non-disintegrating belts.
To put it bluntly, your machine gun enters the belt on the left side, but the shell casings on the right side are thrown away, and the non-dispersible metal belt is still connected to your machine gun. Imagine that the metal belt is connected to the machine gun. It is not very convenient on the battlefield. .
As for the metal dispersible ammunition belt, to put it bluntly, although the metal buckle that fixes a bullet is connected together when it is picked up, after being fired from the machine gun, it will be scattered directly like the shell casing, and it will be released. At the same time throw flying.
Of course, the single metal buckles that have been thrown away can also be connected together manually, reloaded manually, and reconnected manually, but that is too troublesome, and the old Americans are thrown away directly after the war.
And such an ammunition belt is definitely helpful to the stable output capability of the machine gun, but it is expensive, so it used to be used by local tyrants like Lao Mei.
Now it can be used domestically.
Of course, the main reason is that high-speed machine guns such as rotary machine guns use disintegrable metal bullet chains for better stability.
In the past, the semi-dispersible type was used in China. To put it bluntly, we could not afford to use the ones like Laomei, and the ones like Maozi affected the combat performance. Later, we simply thought of a way.
That is, every 10 or 15 bullets, the metal bullet chain bayonet can be dismantled and thrown away.
When used in this way, it does not affect the performance too much. At the same time, when recycling and reusing, it is not so troublesome to connect 10 or 15 bullets at a time.
And the length of the bullet chain can also be freely controlled.
It can only be said that...they are all troubles without money.
If you have the money, who doesn't want to use a distributable type? As for recycling? Recycle the fart, just throw it away after shooting, if there is a recycling condition, like this defensive operation, then a large metal box will be placed directly on the side where the revolving machine gun throws the shell casings, and the bullet casings and ammunition chains will be thrown away directly Inside the metal box.
When the time comes, go back directly, remelt the shell casings and ammunition belts, and remake them. This is the game of the rich, and now we can also be rich.
Jiang Yanhai has passed the order to the logistics staff. There are a total of 50 manual bullet chain installation machines. In fact, these machines are not big and small in size, about 30 or so in length and the widest. The space is only a dozen centimeters, but for convenience, they are all fixed on some workbenches.
"Let me demonstrate it to you. It's actually very simple." Jiang Yanhai, the bullet chain installation machine, was surrounded by generals of the Shadowless Forbidden Army standing in front of him, especially General Wu, who watched it more carefully and seriously.
This machine is small, but in the eyes of General Wu, it is ingenious, because it is so small, but it has such a complicated structure. It is definitely a test for their blacksmiths to build it. Very precise.
The empty ammunition chain next to it was like being installed in a machine gun. Jiang Yanhai picked it up and placed it on the workbench, then grabbed a 7.62mm bullet from the standard bullet box opened next to it, and pointed the bullet at the side of the workbench. The direction was put into the entrance, and then grabbed again.
After putting in dozens of bullets, Jiang Yanhai directly turned the small handle.
With a crisp sound of "click", as Jiang Yanhai made a turn, a bullet was immediately stuck on the chain without any mistakes, and then he turned a second time.
Then, under the comments of Lin Dianshuai and several generals, Jiang Yanhai's hand speed was very fast, and the sound of "click" and "click" continued to sound, and the bullets were accurately installed into the chain, forming a long metal bullet chain.
Even at a very average speed, it is very easy to turn around once a second. When dozens of bullet chains appeared there, Lin Dianshuai and the others were a little surprised.
