Chapter 2025: The Gatling Cannon Idea

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Take action when it is time to act, and watch the excitement when it is not appropriate to act.  This is Qin Baoshan's principle.  And he doesn't have that ability either. If the little devil's plane arrives, they will suffer a big loss. They can enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree. Now that they have united with the Americans, they must use it if it can be used.  The Americans have plenty of fighter jets, so why bother to let themselves take greater risks.  The American plane came over and killed the kid's plane.  If it were people like myself, they could only fight in ground air defense, and the danger would be greatly increased.

    The rest is eating and drinking.  After eating and drinking enough, the ground crew at the base here has also completed the maintenance tasks of this c-47 aerial gunboat, and the ammunition has been filled up for them, so they can take off and fight at any time.

    Until this time, Li Yunlong had the opportunity to get in touch with this plane.  When he saw the armament on the side of the plane, he immediately said in surprise: "Grandma, you guys are too good at it. There are three guns on the side, and these guns are all rapid-fire guns.  Brother Baoshan. Which cannon do you operate? Is it the thickest one in the middle?"

    The previous aerial gunboats, products modified by Qin Baoshan, were all equipped with machine guns.  Now all the cannons are hung, and the firepower is even more ferocious.  Li Yunlong sighed while talking to Qin Baoshan, at the same time, Chris and others were also looking at the plane here.  Although they had already seen the plane when it landed, it was mainly to welcome the warriors inside.  Now Chris looks at this plane, and he is also very emotional: "This provides us with a good idea, and our planes can be modified in this way in the future. It will definitely be very useful."

    In this era, almost all aircraft fired either forward or backward.  Only the turrets for self-defense are designed left and right for ground attack, and almost all of them use the shooting scheme of the nose artillery. Now this kind of aircraft uses a side-firing scheme, and the flying mode of the aircraft is also hovering over the target.  This is simply a great invention across the ages.  For Chris, of course it was shocking.

    Hearing these people's praise, Qin Baoshan had a smile on his face.  In fact, Qin Baoshan was very satisfied with the transformation of this plane.  The aircraft has basically met his requirements, but the artillery needs to be improved.

    Thinking of this, Qin Baoshan said: "In fact, these artillery are also taken by us at random, and they are not the most suitable. If there is a seven-barrel revolving Gatling cannon, it will be more enjoyable. The 20mm caliber is  Enough. Installing such artillery on our aircraft can further increase our firepower density. Anyway, our aircraft is a transport aircraft, so we can carry more ammunition without any problem."

    Although the fight in the sky this time has been very enjoyable, there are still some fly in the ointment, and the machine gun is not powerful, which is one of them.  Whether it is a 20mm rapid-fire gun or a 40mm Bofors gun, the rate of fire is not fast enough.  That's hundreds of rounds per minute.  Of course, there are restrictions on the hundreds of rounds per minute. After all, a chain of bullets can contain up to 100 rounds of shells.  If magazines are used for ammunition, a magazine is only 20 rounds.  This kind of hundreds of rounds per minute must not hold down the shooting button, but fires instantly, stops instantly, and fires and shoots for a few seconds each time.

    Even so, the firepower is still not strong enough. If it is a Gatling machine gun, each tube has the same rate of fire of hundreds of rounds per minute, but if there are more tubes, the rate of fire will be higher. Just multiply it directly.  up.  Based on the calculation of 600 rounds per minute, if there are seven tubes, then more than 7,000 shells can be fired per minute.  If you hit it, you can directly smash the target into a sieve.  This kind of weapon is also very useful on the battlefield. For example, when missile technology is invented in the future, all kinds of warships will be equipped with small-caliber rapid-fire guns, which will be used as the last line of defense to intercept enemy missiles.  Its principle is to fire the most shells in the shortest time to form enough barrages to block the enemy's missile attack.

    As for now, if it is installed on a plane and strafed the ground, a dozen will be a large area.  Definitely more enjoyable than now.

    Hearing Qin Baoshan's words, Cochrane immediately replied: "Qin, if you have an idea, we can provide full support. We will provide any parts you want. In the military factory of the Eighth Route Army, this kind of multi-management mechanism  The cannon is assembled."

    Hearing what Cochran said, Qin Baoshan felt a little embarrassed.  He knew that Cochrane would support him unconditionally, but now that Cochrane is constantly providing help, Qin Baoshan always has the feeling of being soft-hearted and soft-hearted. If Cochrane makes any excessive demands in the future  Come on, what should I do?

    For a while, Qin Baoshan couldn't answer, and Li Yunlong who was standing beside him was also very angry.?? Surprised: "Brother Baoshan, what are you talking about? Can the barrel still turn? How fast does this gun shoot? His grandma, if there is such a weapon, I would like to use it. I hold back  I have been bent for so many years, and it was only in the last one or two years that I was able to open up the fight. If I had this kind of weapon, I would go all out and not be afraid to consume bullets. But if you don¡¯t have this ability, don¡¯t try your best.¡±

    Hearing what Li Yunlong said, Qin Baoshan shook his head helplessly. He knew that Li Yunlong had started to provoke him again.  Just like building tanks back then, Li Yunlong has always been against it.  Now that Qin Baoshan thinks about it, he is probably trying to provoke himself, for fear that he will not be able to figure it out.  As a result, not only did I get it out, but I also scolded Li Yunlong, preventing Li Yunlong from using his own tanks.  Now that Li Yunlong is provoking himself on the cannon again, does he really think he can't do it?

    This kind of revolving cannon has actually existed for a long time. Gatling's cannon, of course, was invented by Gatling.  At the time of the Qing government, a batch was imported.  It's just that it was hand-cranked.  Shake the handle by hand to make this cannon fire.  It is now obsolete.  In order to drive this Gatling cannon, there are additional devices.  They are usually hydraulically or electrically assisted.  So when this kind of gun fires, you will hear a sizzling sound at the moment of starting. This is the sound made by the additional power device driving the barrel to rotate. When you hear these sounds, you should avoid them immediately.  Otherwise, it will be completely smashed into a sieve in the next second.

    Since Li Yunlong has also started to be aggressive, of course Qin Baoshan has to agree.  He nodded: "I need a lot of raw materials, and only the United States can meet my requirements. After this battle is over, I will write a list." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
