Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A smoothbore gun, as the name suggests, has no rifling in the barrel, which is relatively easier to process than a rifled gun, and has a much longer service life.  Even if the chamber wall has been worn down and the airtightness has deteriorated, it can still be fired normally.  It is nothing more than the range and power are reduced accordingly, and it can be used without pursuing long-range killing and accuracy.

    In addition, the structure of this gun is too simple. It doesn't care about the wind, frost, rain, snow, desert, ocean, humidity and dryness, and it won't be affected too much. As long as you don't bend the barrel too much, it won't break if you want to. It's reliable.  Sex is higher than a revolver.  After all, it doesn't even have a running wheel, and there is an extreme lack of wearing parts.

    The second is bullets. The East Asian Alliance is very lucky to be able to independently produce bullets and shells. In other words, Hong Tao's decision was very forward-looking.

    When most of the survivors in the world were still worrying about food, clothing, housing and transportation, seeing the zombies running around in panic all day long, with food, fuel and water in their eyes, he had already thought of this day, and immediately took action,  As much as possible, the machinery and equipment and related talents in the old world have been preserved.

    But no matter how it is preserved, it is impossible to continue the complete industrial chain based on the population of the year, which seriously affects the production of bullets and shells, otherwise the alliance army would not be so restrained.

    But shotgun bullets are not restricted by most links in this industrial chain. As long as there is enough propellant and cap, even if there is no copper cartridge, replacing it with a plastic or paper cartridge will still not affect normal use.  .

    To put it bluntly, the shotgun is actually a small copper cannon of the 18th century. The front loading was changed to the rear loading, the gunpowder and lead bullets were loaded separately into pre-installed, and the ignition with matchlock and flint was upgraded to fire.  Cap, that's all.

    There are no complex links such as pneumatics, shell extraction, and ammunition feeding of modern rifles, and the requirements for bullets are so low that they cannot be lowered.  The biggest advantage of the famous ak series is applicability and durability.  But if you compare the ak47 with a shotgun, it is a high-tech that is very troublesome to manufacture and cumbersome to maintain.

    Finally, the damage is high. Compared with shotguns, the damage of most standard weapons is relatively weak.  Note that it is not power, but damage.  For example, an automatic rifle can fire continuously, but in an emergency, no one can guarantee that every bullet can hit the target. At this time, it depends on the damage of a single shot.

    Shotguns are much easier in this regard. Its powerful bullets can hit the target with a high probability without careful aiming at medium and short distances, such as within 50 meters or even 100 meters, and the damage to unprotected targets is far greater than that of  Ordinary bullets are tall.

    Of course, shotguns also have many disadvantages, such as insufficient firepower continuity, worrying range, and much greater recoil than ordinary firearms.  However, these shortcomings are less conspicuous when dealing with zombies and are easier to overcome.

    The specific way to overcome it is to cooperate with each other. The army is trained and disciplined. In terms of cooperation, it is more rigorous than gold diggers and coachmen. Half a squad of soldiers searched and advanced in skirmish formation.

    First use a long-barreled shotgun to accurately shoot zombies with slug bullets at a distance of 100 meters. Once approached, immediately pull out the short-barreled shotgun carried on the thigh to kill the area with deer bullets at close range.  Even if they encounter the blue devil, the five soldiers can easily win by relying on two layers of firepower from far and near.

    There are too many blue devils Please, this is an established army, and all the nearby teams have cooperated, planned, and have undergone long-term training. There is a high probability that they will not panic when encountering a surprise attack.

    In addition, they did not go deep alone. There were air force reconnaissance planes circling overhead, transport planes watching, and infantry combat vehicles and heavy artillery groups behind them to provide fire support at any time. It was basically impossible for key targets like the Blue Devils to form a cluster.

    Just after the shelling stopped for a short while, firecrackers exploded again and again on the battlefield.  That's right, shotguns sound like firecrackers when fired, some are crisp and short like electric light cannons, and some are dull and shocking like mole seeds.

    The effect is similar to a small-scale live ammunition exercise in peacetime. The group of zombies that have been blown to pieces by large-caliber shells hit the metal storm head-on, and are immediately swept down in pieces.  Even without damage to the brain and spinal cord, most mobility is lost.

    The soldiers of the Special Operations Regiment simply ignored the disabled zombies still struggling on the ground, and some even stepped on their bodies directly, allowing the zombies to scratch and bite on their boots and calves, and then they were laminated by layers of zombies behind them.  The companion trampled the skull to pieces with a big leather boot inlaid with a steel plate.

    "Tom tom tom tom tom tom tom"

    Suddenly, coherent and dull sounds filled the battlefield. The infantry fighting vehicles that had been silently following the skirmishers found a relatively large group of zombies and decisively fired at them.  The 30mm coaxial machine gun sprayed out a flame more than one meter long, sweeping away the zombies hundreds of meters awayfall.

    "BoomBoom" There were two loud noises with a short interval. A three-story building facing the street more than 300 meters away was completely shrouded in smoke.

    The 100mm main gun also fired,

    The captain of the car received a report from the reconnaissance plane and highly suspected that there was a heat source in the building.  On the battlefield, the heat source represents a suspected living corpse, and the commander sent a high-explosive bomb without hesitation.  Whether there is a date or not, it is worthwhile to waste ten shells as long as you catch up with a living corpse.

    "Swooshswooshswoosh" Another Air Force reconnaissance plane passed by at low altitude, leaving three flares behind its buttocks.

    "Everyone find a bunker on the spot, pay attention to stay away from high-rise buildings, shelling after 3 minutes!"

    Seeing the signal flare burning hot in the air, an infantry combat vehicle stopped abruptly, the top cover was lifted, and an officer wearing the rank of major drilled out, giving orders to the high-power military walkie-talkie.  I repeated it over and over again, until there were bursts of sharp howling in the sky above my head, and I retracted my body into the infantry vehicle.

    The ground is trembling, the fire is raging, and all the places hit by 122-caliber high-explosive bombs have fallen into a boundless hell. No matter lying, sitting, lying, squatting or standing, they cannot escape the whipping of iron and fire.  .

    Three minutes later, the shelling stopped suddenly, and the special operations regiment half a kilometer away immediately came back to life, crawling out of bunkers and bomb craters one after another, shaking off the dust on their bodies, and continuing to advance south at the usual speed.

    The infantry fighting vehicles that followed also spewed black smoke and ran to the forefront. When the smoke and dust had not completely dissipated and the reconnaissance plane could not provide details for the time being, they pulled up a protective wall for the infantry.  All creatures trying to get close will be greeted by large-caliber machine guns and high-explosive shells.

    This is the training result of the 1st Reserve Brigade Special Operations Regiment for half a year. The link is very simple, and there are few technical actions and precautions. As long as the officers are not confused, it is difficult to make mistakes.

    First, the heavy firepower opened the way, and then the armored forces covered the infantry advance.  If the group of zombies charges, that would be great. The reconnaissance above the head will quickly notify the heavy artillery behind the shooting. The shells will drill into the group of corpses as if they have eyes, and maximize the lethality.

    If the zombie group does not charge or the density is not enough, the heavy artillery will not speak. The special operations group only targets the zombie group and does not enter the building, and the rest of the cleaning work is left to the follow-up ordinary troops.

    At this time, the problem is thrown to the living zombie. If it doesn't come out to expand its control range, it can only watch the zombie group being eaten away bit by bit.  If it can't help but come out, I'm sorry, the thermal imaging equipment on the reconnaissance plane is waiting for this moment.

    In less than a minute, the area where the living corpses appeared will be remotely covered by large-caliber incendiary bombs.  The transport planes that have been hovering over the battlefield will also rush over at the fastest speed, and use more powerful aviation incendiary bombs to make up for the damage.  As long as a living corpse does not engage in permanent work, the only thing waiting for it is its fate of being burned to ashes.

    Therefore, the new tactics created by Zhang Ke seem clumsy, but they are actually very effective against living corpses whose IQs are not as good as human beings, and they are very flexible in fighting and fleeing.  The speed of the zombies can't catch up, and the blue devil will die if he catches up, and it won't cause too much damage.

    However, there is a problem that humans have not yet found a way to overcome, and that is the influence of the weather.  During the day, the field of vision is sufficient, and the human army can detect the direction of movement of the zombie group, make predictions in advance, and avoid being surrounded.

    At night, without vision, the large army became a burden instead. No matter how great the results were, they had to retreat obediently to a relatively open and safe area. The progress during the day was nothing but killing a large number of zombies.  </div&gt
