Chapter 697

"The idea of double machine gun is indeed feasible, but it is not practical." after receiving the report from Jiang Juan, Chen Xin commented that it is not practical.

"Academician, why don't you think it's practical? Isn't the design of double machine gun able to double the fire delivery?" Jiang Juan, who was called to the office by Chen Xin, was a little unconvinced.

The idea she put forward was based on her actual experience on the battlefield. It was directly denied by Chen Xin, which was obviously unacceptable to her.

Chen Xin shook his head and asked her, "since you are a Titan pilot and have used machine guns... What machine guns do Gongshi use?"

"The Gongshi gun is a 23-1 aircraft gun with a caliber of 23mm. It uses 23mm standard aircraft gun shells and is a single barrel sliding core machine gun." as a driver, Jiang Juan is very familiar with the Titan and supporting equipment she drives.

Chen Xin nodded slightly and was very satisfied with her professional ability, so he then asked, "not to mention the technical difficulty of dual loading transformation, I just ask you, what is the spacing between the two muzzles, have you calculated?"

"This..." Jiang Juan hesitated for a moment, 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 mounted machine gun, or even there is no dual barrel machine gun that can be used, but in the end, we choose the single barrel machine gun, not because we can't afford to use the dual barrel or don't want to use the dual barrel machine gun, but because the double fire projection of the dual barrel machine gun can't play a good effect on the battlefield compared with the single barrel machine gun."

"Why? With one more barrel, you can hit one more shell and cause more damage?" asked Jiang Juan strangely.

Chen Xin shook his head. Obviously, he was disappointed that Jiang Juan could ask such a question, but he still explained: "if it is used to hit targets such as aircraft or tanks, double the firepower delivery can really solve the problem, but the problem is that we are fighting alien creatures now.

A 23mm general-purpose machine gun ammunition is enough to break through the shell of alien creatures and cause effective killing. One more shell is still hit in the same position to a large extent, which can not effectively improve the damage efficiency of alien creatures except blowing the target to pieces. "

Adding a gun barrel can indeed increase the ammunition delivery, which can also improve the probability of effective killing when dealing with armored targets such as tanks and aircraft.

After all, you can't just hit a tank or a plane with one shell. One more shell can improve the possibility of hitting the target.

However, when the target is replaced by an alien creature that can be killed by one shell, adding a gun barrel and doubling the ammunition delivery is just a waste of ammunition.

The target that can be killed by one shot does not need two shots to kill. The two gun tubes are so close that the two shells will basically hit only one target. One shot can ensure the killing. The two shots only blow the target to pieces. There will be no such thing as two gun tubes can hit two different targets.

In fact, the multi barrel machine gun is just a way to improve the firing speed when the machine gun firing speed was not enough in the past.

However, for the modern military industry, it can achieve extremely high firing speed, and the ammunition delivery volume can even reach thousands of rounds in one minute. At this time, the multi barrel machine gun appears to be chicken ribs and impractical.

This is also why there are fewer and fewer gun tubes on modern warships. Except for Gatling's rotary tube design, there are few multi tube designs.

Because with the support of modern science and technology, one barrel is enough to ensure sufficient firing speed and smash enough shells to the enemy.

After listening to Chen Xin's explanation, Jiang Juan was frustrated. Although she still felt a little unconvinced, she also knew that her ideas were not so practical.

"But you don't have to be depressed. Although it's superfluous to be a double mounted machine gun, it doesn't mean it has no reference value at all." Chen Xin comforted Jiang Juan.

However, his words are not simply comforting, but they do have a certain reference value.

"For alien biological warfare, we really need to increase the fire delivery." Chen Xinjian showed a puzzled look to Jiang Juan, so he explained to her: "simply increasing the firing speed or adding an additional gun barrel is meaningless, because doing so will only hit a large number of bombs and drugs on the same target, which is a very inefficient method for this war.

What we really want is to hit more ammunition on the enemy's head in unit time, but we also want to avoid putting too much ammunition on the same target.

To achieve these two goals at the same time is the key for me to design the Gongshi type into three weapons, because in this way, the three weapons can project ammunition to three different targets at the same time, which can not only effectively improve the fire delivery volume, but also improve the killing efficiency. "

"In that case, isn't my idea meaningless?" Jiang Juan also understood Chen Xin's idea at this time. He obviously didn't want to waste a lot of ammunition on the same goal.

"It really doesn't mean much to Titans, but it has different meaning to ordinary weapons." for Jiang Juan's idea, Chen Xin is not comforting her, but does have a certain reference value.

"Ordinary weapons? Academician, do you mean individual weapons?" although she is a Titan pilot, Jiang Juan still knows about the weapons equipped by ordinary soldiers: "they are using heavy machine guns now? Are you going to make that into a duplex?"

"Yes, for a 23mm machine gun, one shell is enough to kill alien creatures, but for a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, it's just enough to break through the shell of alien creatures." Chen Xin has long planned to improve the lethality of individual weapons, but he hasn't had any good ideas.

Coupled with the busy work of various things, he could not spare time to design new weapons.

But now Jiang Juan's idea of double loading suddenly gave him new inspiration, and it just added the existing weapons together. It doesn't need too many redesigned parts. It's simple and easy to operate. It's a very practical idea.

"Your idea is very meaningful, and then there will be a formal reward for you." Chen Xin looked at Jiang Juan and smiled at her.

However, Jiang Juan bit her lip and asked Chen Xin, "academician, can I not give a reward? I still want to change my Titan for a double mounted machine gun."
