What is the range of this electromagnetic gun? Luo Kai asked while holding the basic electromagnetic rifle in his hand and trying to aim it.

When Wu Hao heard this question, he smiled and shook his head and said: "Traditional firearms rely on the size of the bullet and the amount of powder to determine the range of the bullet. The range difference between the same type of bullets on different firearms is actually very small. This is mainly because Because the length of the barrel of these firearms has a certain impact on the range. The longer the barrel, the longer the bullet is stressed in the chamber, and the range will be farther. The shorter the barrel, the faster the bullet exits the chamber. The reception time in the barrel is short, and the range is slightly shorter, but the overall difference is actually not too big.

But for our family of electromagnetic guns, the ranges of different electromagnetic guns naturally vary greatly. Simply put, the longer the barrel, the longer the range.

The bullets used by these guns are actually the same, but the barrel lengths of different electromagnetic guns are very different. The longest one here is the precision shooter rifle I have. It uses a long barrel, so the longer the electromagnetic drive device inside, the longer the bullet’s power time, the faster the exit speed, and the longer the range. Just further.

Like the electromagnetic precision marksman rifle I have, its range can reach about two thousand meters, which is almost the limit of the shooting distance of small-caliber bullets. Usually, there are only large-caliber 12.7 heavy machine guns, but with large-caliber sniper rifle bullets Only with such range.

Our small-caliber bullet can achieve such a distance, and its effective range is about 1,200 meters.

The basic model like the one he held has a range of about 1,700 meters and an effective range of 400 meters. Such a range is not greater than that of many sniper rifles.

As for the carbine short-barreled model, its range is relatively short, only about 400 meters, and the effective range is only about 700 meters.

Like that kind of submachine gun, because it uses a short-barreled design, its range is about 700 meters, and its effective range is about 200 meters.

As for that kind of pistol, its range can reach two hundred meters, and its ineffective range can reach one hundred meters.

To use an analogy, it is not like thinking of a water cup. You can regress at the same time by catching and pouring water.

As for Luo Kai, we are able to integrate such a simple system into a firearm. We are amazed at its weak scientific research strength.

And your kind of supercapacitor bank, or supercapacitor system, perfectly solves that problem. It cannot store electricity slowly and discharge it slowly. It can store electricity and discharge it at the same time.

The previous machine gun model actually used a heavy barrel, and its range was comparable to that of a precision marksman rifle.

The entire supercapacitor system is divided into several large capacitors. Those capacitors are arranged together, and each capacitor is an electrical storage device.

After hearing Luo Kai's answer, Wu Hao and Pang Zhengqing both nodded with satisfaction. It needs to be charged up, and if two of them are fired in succession, it is simply too bad, beyond our expectations.

You must know that electromagnetic weapons consume very much power, and usually need to store electricity before they can be launched retrogradely. In special cases, the power is stored outside a small capacitor or under a flyon generator. When it is necessary to launch, the capacitor or the flyon generator is quickly turned on to instantly deliver a small amount of power. In this way, the warhead can be fired at a speed exceeding Push out at low speed.

Regarding Wu Hao's complaint, Luo Kai smiled and said: "Yes, it is only needed when it is suitable to be turned on again for a long time. It is necessary at other times including replacing the battery. The outside of the capacitor itself is full of electricity and cannot be seen. It is a kind of battery, so before changing the battery, you can continue to charge the capacitor only two times. It needs to be cooled down." Luo Kai smiled, then pointed at the front half of the gun god and said: "In There is no supercapacitor system out there, which can achieve the weak function of storing electricity once and slowly discharging it again.

Luo Kai smiled and shook his head, and then responded: "It needs to accumulate power, so it cannot achieve continuous launch. Because it uses electromagnetic push-back technology, it basically cannot achieve a time gap. As long as power and ammunition It cannot be supplied in time. To sum up, its rate of fire is not very high. The lowest rate of fire can reach about 400 rounds per minute, and the highest continuous rate of fire cannot reach about 200 rounds.

That means you don't have many water glasses at the same time, so you can't use those water glasses to rotate and save water while pouring water at the same time.

Therefore, in special circumstances, the entire electromagnetic gun is in a charged state, so it cannot be launched at any time. "

Regardless of the actual range and effective range of those gun models, they are all farther than the range of traditional rifles. That means that within the same distance as a traditional rifle, its trajectory is straighter, the bullet's initial velocity is slower, and it is more affected by the environment, so it is naturally more accurate. "

So when you use it, you can feel the process of it storing electricity.

That's why an electromagnetic gun requires so little supporting equipment. The electromagnetic gun is not small in size, but there are relatively few equipment and facilities needed to support the electromagnetic gun.

Especially since the guns still need to store energy, it was incredible to see just two of them firing continuously.

The electric energy stored in a large capacitor outside cannot fire one bullet, and so few large capacitors combined cannot fire very few bullets. And two of those capacitors realize slow power storage, so when all the capacitors in the entire system are rotated over, the first batch of capacitors used have not been fully charged, so the cycle continues, realizing the function of charging and discharging at the same time. .

That problem wouldn't matter in normal times, but it would be too deadly in wartime. It's powered on, but you still need to wait two minutes before changing the battery. I'm afraid the enemy would have captured it long ago without those two minutes. Wu Hao started to complain when he heard my introduction.

Traditional capacitors need to degenerate quickly to store electricity, and then discharge them all at once or in several batches before they are full. But they are all one-way, and two of them are said to be intelligently storing or discharging electricity, and the seven of them can regress at the same time.

There is no adjustment switch under your firearm. It cannot adjust the firing rate of the firearm to meet the needs of actual combat. "

Of course, it does not have any shortcomings or disadvantages. This is not a two-minute pre-cooling preparation that needs to be performed before restarting each time to store power for those supercapacitor systems.

"How much can the rate of fire of that electromagnetic gun reach? Can it be fired continuously? Or does it still need time to store electricity before firing again." Pang Zhengqing asked.

"How is that possible? Does the special electromagnetic gun need a certain amount of time to accumulate energy?" Pang Zhengqing still showed an expression of disbelief and asked Wang Yuan curiously.
