Chapter 2766: Squandering Ammunition

Traditional firearms may keep the bullets and guns there for several years or even more than ten years. As long as they are properly protected, they can still be used. Just like many old guns that have been stored in warehouses for decades, you only need to wipe off the dangling on them, load the bullets, and then you can shoot.

But this kind of electromagnetic gun is not good. It cannot be used immediately. Its battery may have problems due to being depleted for too long. The chemical structure of the battery will also cause some problems over time.

From this aspect, the new electromagnetic gun is still inferior to traditional firearms.

However, this should be considered a minor problem and can be completely overcome. The powerful advantages of electromagnetic guns in terms of performance and firepower can make up for this shortcoming.

"I'll give it a try." After hearing this, Pang Zhengqing immediately picked up a short-barreled carbine type electromagnetic gun, then loaded the magazine and opened the safety, aimed at the gun target and pulled the trigger.

Da, da, da, da da da...

Compared to Luo Kai, Pang Zhengqing played very cleanly, which made Wu Hao's impression of him change. He didn't expect that a person who seemed to be more gentle would actually have such a side. In terms of military literacy, he is much better than Luo Kai.

But it's no wonder, soldiers should be like this.

After squandering a magazine, Pang Zhengqing was still unsatisfied. He took off the magazine to check the gun. Then he turned to Wu Hao and Luo Kai and said, "It's fun. This gun is very comfortable to shoot. Although it's not as good as traditional firearms." It’s powerful, but this gun is very accurate and easy to control, making it very easy to shoot.”

Luo Kai nodded when he heard this, and then said with a little regret: "That's true, but I always feel that this gun has no power. It's so boring to shoot this kind of chest ring target. If you try to shoot with other targets, it will The power can be seen very intuitively.”

Wu Hao couldn't help but laugh after hearing Luo Kai's words. He couldn't tell what kind of attention this guy was talking about, but these words were obviously meant for him.

In this regard, Wu Hao didn't waste any time. He waved his hand and said: "Let's go to the outdoor shooting range. You can have as much fun today as you want. We have enough bullets."

Hahaha……

Hearing this, Luo Kai and Pang Zhengqing looked at each other and laughed heartily.

Wu Hao then took the two of them to an outdoor shooting range not far from the base. The shooting range was very large and located in the middle of several sand dunes. There was only one passage to enter.

Then several sand dunes become a natural barrier for the shooting range, protecting it within it. On the one hand, this can resist the invasion of wind and sand, thereby reducing the impact of wind speed on the data of the equipment test.

On the other hand, these tall sand dunes are also natural barriers, which can block ammunition fired from the shooting range and prevent stray bullets from flying out and accidentally injuring surrounding people and objects.

In addition to testing some conventional individual weapons and equipment, the shooting range can also test some heavy weapons.

When Luo Kai and the others arrived, the shooting range was almost ready. Various objects are placed at different distances on the shooting range to serve as shooting targets.

There were scrapped cars, gasoline cans, rubber mannequin targets, and a host of other objects.

Wu Hao directly handed a heavy-barreled squad machine gun to Luo Kai, and then handed a lower-mounted ammunition box from the side to Luo Kai.

"There are four hundred and eighty rounds of ammunition in this magazine, which is enough for you to splurge on."

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Luo Kai smiled, then took the ammunition box and looked at it carefully, and then showed a different look.

Under the traditional machine gun, this kind of ammunition box will be hung. Its full name is actually called a belt carrying case, or a belt carrying bag sewn with a canvas bag.

What is inside is a bullet chain filled with bullets, which can avoid the problem of the bullet chain being too long to be carried easily.

In addition to this magazine carrying case, there is actually a magazine drum that can be mounted on various rifles. Its principle is actually to roll a magazine horizontally, which can greatly increase the capacity of the magazine.

This kind of drum can be divided into single drum and double drum structure design according to the number. The single drum is generally about 70 rounds, while the double drum is about 150 rounds.

However, because this kind of drum is too heavy, it is generally only used in machine guns or general-purpose machine guns for fire suppression. For the sake of portability and to reduce the burden on soldiers, ordinary firearms rarely use drums or ammunition chains to carry them. box.

The ammunition box Wu Hao handed to Luo Kai was obviously not the belt carrying case and drum drum hung under the traditional firearm, but a brand new structure.

In other words, its structure is very similar to the automatic ammunition supply system on Gatling guns and aviation machine guns. They are not mechanical structures, but electric structures.

The entire magazine is divided into two parts: the magazine and the ammunition supply system. Bullets are stored in the magazine and will be continuously supplied to the electromagnetic gun through the electric ammunition supply system.

In other words, there is a motor in this magazine specifically for power supply.

"Oh, it's still a high-end product." Luo Kai joked, and then loaded the ammunition box onto the electromagnetic machine gun.

Immediately, the magazine was activated and bullets began to be fed into the gun chamber.

Upon seeing this, Luo Kai immediately opened the safety, then pointed the machine gun at a complete scrapped car fifty or sixty meters away and pulled the trigger.

Da da da da…

With a sound like a typewriter, dense bullets sprayed out from the muzzle of the gun.

As for the scrapped car fifty meters away, a puff of dust and smoke was raised. The car body was covered with bullet holes, and the window glass was also smashed.

Bang, bang, bang, several tires were hit by bullets and exploded.

However, unlike the famous scenes in traditional movies and TV shows where bullets are used to blow up a car, this car was beaten into a sieve, but it did not catch fire or explode.

This may also be determined by the characteristics of the electromagnetic gun. It is not like traditional bullets, which have armor-piercing incendiary bombs or explosive bombs that can set a car on fire.

In fact, even in this case, cars are not so easy to explode. The cars that explode in movies and TV dramas are actually specially configured, such as loading ammunition into the vehicle or mixing ammunition into the car's fuel tank, so that it can explode. to a flashover or explosion scene.

The scrapped car in front of them obviously didn't do this. They did it for testing, not for entertainment. If it is for entertainment, you can do this to add some shooting fun, but this is an experiment to test its performance. In order to more intuitively test its power and damage effect, I did not do this.

Nearly five hundred rounds of ammunition were fired by Luo Kai in less than a minute, and the electromagnetic machine gun in his hand was also smoking slightly.

Upon seeing this, Luo Kai immediately looked at Wu Hao and asked what was going on.

Wu Hao smiled and waved his hands and said: "It doesn't matter, maybe the temperature is too high and some of the lubricant inside burned."
