Chapter 787

"Reduce weapon firing speed and increase weapon damage? Isn't this changing the assault rifle back to the old rifle?" listening to Chen Xin explain his ideas, the political cadres he brought to discuss couldn't help thinking of the old rifle.

Hearing this, Chen Xin smiled: "it's normal. Isn't the war between us and alien creatures like the trench war on the battlefield of World War I? However, the intensity of our war is much more intense than that of World War I. whether it's steel delivered or materials consumed, it's much more than that of the two world wars combined.

You know what? Now the front line consumes a large amount of materials and ammunition every day. It's only the defense line I visited last time. Their three battalions have to destroy a ton of ammunition in an hour, which is only the consumption of ordinary soldiers.

As for the ammunition consumed by explosives and rear artillery support, although there is not so much, there is not much less. The ammunition consumed by the whole defense line at all times can only be calculated in 10000 tons.

So even if I just reduce the firing speed of my rifle by one shot per minute, the ammunition I can save is an extremely huge number. "

"But having said that, it's too much work to replace the equipment of the whole front line, and the investment will not be small." the political work cadres only estimated a little and knew that this is by no means an easy job to complete.

Chen Xin also agreed with this. He nodded and said, "so I don't intend to solve the problem at one time, and dressing up is a step-by-step thing. Even during World War II, new equipment emerged one after another in various countries. Can't many weapons developed in the middle of the war be generally equipped with troops until the later stage of the war or even near the end of the war?"

Hearing what Chen Xin said, the political work cadre nodded reassuringly. Although he did not stop Chen Xin's power, he could still persuade Chen Xin about his possible disorderly ideas.

Since Chen Xin doesn't have the idea of fooling around, he naturally won't talk much.

"Academician Chen, what are you going to do? Do you have any specific plans?" the political work cadres asked Chen Xin curiously.

Chen Xin thought for a moment and said, "there is no good idea in a short time. I intend to start with the electromagnetic rifle we are equipping the troops of European countries. This is the weapon we are changing. We can see the effect intuitively."

A small land ship carrying supplies gradually landed, and the officers who had been waiting for a long time on the ground rushed to meet them with people.

With the door of the land ship opened, several staff of Yanguo came down from it.

"Hello, I'm major Marvin, the commander of the XX stronghold of the XXX defense line. I was ordered to receive materials." the officer took out a document from him, handed it to the staff of Yanguo, and explained it to him. His attitude was very respectful, even with a trace of flattery.

No wonder major Marvin has such an attitude. Because of the remote location of his troops, so far his troops are still using the old equipment and do not enjoy the welfare of replacing the new equipment provided by Yanguo.

It's not easy for his troops to receive materials and change new equipment this time. Major Marvin is very excited. Naturally, he also wants to please the staff of Yanguo and strive for better welfare for his troops.

Although it is not the turn to replace the equipment provided by Yanguo, major Marvin has long heard that Yanguo people will provide better weapons and equipment and better logistics supplies. If they can get more supplies from them, let alone flatter them, even if major marwen asks Yanguo people's father in front of him, he will not refuse.

Of course, the staff of Yanguo didn't have the special hobby of asking people to call their father. After receiving the supporting documents handed over by major Marvin and checking them with the list in their hand, the staff member asked people to start carrying materials.

"According to the figures on the list, the equipment is electromagnetic rifles and exoskeletons of three battalions, as well as a platoon of power armor and a company of new high-level dual-purpose guns." the staff showed major Marvin the list in hand and explained the quantity of materials to him: "You can get ammunition of two cardinal numbers and one regiment's standard weekly supplies. I won't read what's in it. You can look at the list yourself. Everything is packed. You can count the quantity."

Hearing the staff say so, major Marvin said thank you and hurriedly asked the people he brought to help count the quantity of these materials, while he accompanied the staff, hoping to bring closer the relationship.

"This batch of electromagnetic rifles is a new modification, and their firing power is improved compared with the previous models. Like the previous models, they can be compatible with the NATO ammunition you are currently equipped with. However, because this type of electromagnetic rifle reduces the firing speed, it is recommended to use it with the new ammunition." The staff didn't care much about major Marvin's relationship, but explained the equipment to him.

Major Marvin heard that the firing rate of this electromagnetic rifle was reduced, but he didn't think there was anything wrong, even thought it was a good thing.

Major Marvin was particularly concerned about the consumption of ammunition because his troops had not been changed for a long time. In addition, the garrison was far away from the supply point, and the supply delivery was often delayed.

In fact, even though the fighting is very fierce, in order to save ammunition, major Marvin's troops also fight by firing three bursts as much as possible, rather than holding the trigger and hitting one magazine directly.

After all, holding the trigger to empty the magazine directly is very cool, and the killing effect is also very good, but it consumes too much ammunition.

For major Marvin's troops, which are not necessarily delivered on time, every bullet needs to be saved.

Therefore, major Marvin thought it was good for the firing speed of electromagnetic rifle.

"What is the firing rate of this electromagnetic rifle?" major Marvin asked curiously. According to his estimation, in fact, the firing rate of 300 to 400 rounds a minute is an ideal firing rate, which can not only ensure the 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: "the firing speed of this electromagnetic rifle is 350 rounds per minute. There are three shooting methods, single shot, three consecutive shots and consecutive shots. The magazine can hold 40 bullets."
