Chapter 42 Bulletproof Helmet

Author: Xingkong Beihou

If Wang Fugui hadn't been lucky last time, the Japs' sniper missed the target and hit Wang Fugui's thigh, missing his vital point. Otherwise, with the current medical technology and conditions, Wang Fugui might have died long ago!

So Bailixiu thought that he had to get a bulletproof helmet and a bulletproof vest, otherwise what would happen if the little Japs put snipers in the bunker in the future.

However, just when Baili Xiu was thinking about how to strengthen the defense, Li Yunlong happily returned to Zhao Jiayu with the equipment of the two thousand people from Chu Yunfei's first battalion.

Although Li Yunlong only received weapons and equipment for two thousand people, it is still very simple to recruit people based on the reputation accumulated by the Eighth Route Army for many years. If it were not for the lack of weapons, it would be easy for the Eighth Route Army to recruit hundreds of millions of people.

matter.

············

"Hey! Hey! I said, Brother Baili, what are you doing? Why don't you continue to fight against the little devil's fortress? What are you doing in this blacksmith shop instead?"

Kong Jie saw that Bailixiu didn't go to fight the Japs' fortress, but instead went to the old blacksmith shop in their village, so he was very puzzled and asked him about Bailixiu's origin.

In response to Kong Jie's inquiry, Bailixiu took off the Garand rifle she was carrying and handed it to Kong Jie and said:

"Does Commander Kong know what this is?"

Kong Jie looked at the scope on the Garand rifle and immediately understood something, so he said:

"This is a sniper rifle. Did you capture it last time when you shot the Japs bunker?"

Bailixiu nodded and said:

"The kid noticed that the bunker building had been conquered in large numbers, but there were no traces of large-scale battles, so he naturally guessed it, so he ambush the kid's sniper inside the bunker. This sniper rifle was my kid's sniper rifle.

Hand, captured in hand, twenty-round version!"

In fact, what Bailixiu didn't know was that during World War II, there was no twenty-round version of the M14 Garand for the Garand rifle. Some only had the eight-round version of the M1 Garand. The twenty-round version of the M14 Garand required

It was not until after World War II that the designer of the M1 Garand, John Canteus Garand, only improved upon the basis of the M1 Garand.

It's just that the M14 Garand in the battle was not born at the right time. As soon as he appeared on the scene, he was beaten to pieces by the AK47, a classic gun of the generation, and was defeated.

As for the 20-round version of the Garand rifle seized from Japanese sniper Taiichiro Yamamoto in Yurixiu's hands, it was modified by the American sniper himself.

After all, it is very common for individuals to own guns in the United States, and some people often modify the firearms themselves in order to be unique or to make mass-produced guns more suitable for them.

And this twenty-round M1 Garand was modified from the twenty-round magazine of the M1918 Browning light machine gun used by the American sniper.

This light machine gun was originally used by the American army for general infantry use. However, it later became too bulky and weighed nine kilograms including the magazine, so the M1 Garand rifle weighed only four kilograms.

The Browning light machine gun and Garand rifle both use 7.62mm bullets, so it is not too difficult to adapt the Browning light machine gun magazine to the Garand rifle.

Of course, such changes may not be found in the entire American army, and it is also possible that the Garand rifle with a twenty-round magazine in Baili Xiu's hands was out of print during World War II.

However, Bailixiu's answer made Kong Jie even more depressed, so he asked:

"What does this have to do with you coming to the blacksmith shop?"

Bailixiu heard Kong Jie's confused words and said:

"The best way to deal with the kid sniper is to use bait to lure the kid sniper out. However, the person who makes the bait is very dangerous. If the kid hadn't made a mistake this time, I might have lost one.

An excellent warrior!"

As Baili Xiu spoke, she pointed to Wang Fugui, who was lame and helping with gauze. He was the soldier who was shot through the thigh by Yamamoto Taiichiro before.

After Kong Jie heard what Bailixiu said, he finally understood and said:

"Are you going to make bulletproof protective gear?"

"Yes, now I plan to heat the little devil's helmets and stack a few more together. Although the weight will increase, the corresponding bulletproof capabilities will also be improved."

Baili Xiu took the helmets of the two little devils and showed them to Kong Jie while explaining.

Just like what Bailixiu saw in the previous life, when the motor was moved to cover the bearing, it couldn't be inserted in the cooling state, but as long as it was heated, it could be inserted through thermal expansion and contraction.

The same is true for the little devil's 90-type steel helmet. Of course, the same size cannot fit in or overlap at normal temperature, but as long as the helmet is heated to eight, nine hundred or even one thousand degrees through a blacksmith's furnace, the softened helmet will naturally

It's easy to stack.

After some operations, Baili Xiuxiu successfully stacked the 90-type steel helmets of the five little devils together.

The Type 90 helmet, which was originally only one millimeter thick and weighed one kilogram, became five millimeters and five kilograms heavier.

Originally, a helmet weighing two kilograms was not a big deal when carried on the head, but now a helmet weighing ten kilograms is quite significant when worn on the head.

Bailixiu looked at the five-layered steel helmet in his hand and without hesitation, he placed it directly on a stone the size of a human head and started testing.

Bailixiu did not use the rifle for testing as soon as he came up. Instead, he took out the Mauser C96 pistol given to him by Li Yunlong and fired a shot ten meters away.

If it were an ordinary little devil's steel helmet, this shot would definitely be able to penetrate it. However, if it were replaced with this five-layered steel helmet, it would only make a shallow mark and not be penetrated by a single shot.

Then Bailixiu replaced the gun in his hand with the Zhongzheng rifle, which had the highest muzzle kinetic energy and was also the most powerful.

Then, with one shot, the five steel helmets stacked on top of each other for a full five millimeters were directly penetrated by one shot, leaving a small bullet mark on the stone inside the helmet.

If it were a human head, it would definitely be killed on the spot by a bullet piercing the skull.

Bailixiu was a little disappointed when he saw this, but he did not give up and continued the test. After all, as snipers, their confrontation distance was 300 meters away, so as long as this helmet can guarantee that it will not be penetrated by bullets beyond 300 meters.

It still has use value.

The follow-up test still satisfied Bailixiu. At a position of 300 meters, the kinetic energy of the Zhongzheng rifle could no longer penetrate the five layers of superimposed steel helmets.

The result of using the 38-type rifle with a kinetic energy of only 2,600 joules is better. Although it can penetrate the superimposed helmet at ten meters, it is unable to do anything at one hundred meters.

But this is not surprising. After all, the kinetic energy of the muzzle of the Zhongzheng rifle reaches 4,000, while the kinetic energy of the 38-type rifle is only 2,600 joules. It is already very good to be able to penetrate.
