Chapter 2765: Electromagnetic firearms will eventually replace traditional firearms
After some preparations, Luo Kai stood in front of the shooting window holding a basic electromagnetic rifle. After Wu Hao pressed the button, the target began to fly backwards.
The shooting range uses chest ring targets used in army training, which are sixty meters apart and equipped with holographic sights. This holographic sight has no magnification, so it is similar to visual sight, but it is convenient for aiming.
After nodding to Wu Hao, Luo Kai immediately moved the safety to single-shot mode, took a long breath, and then aimed the gun at the target.
clatter!
As Luo Kai gently pulled the trigger, a very clear mechanical sound sounded. It was not loud, just like the sound of mechanical parts being reset, and there was also a trace of electric sound in the sound.
How to describe this sound? When an ordinary rifle is fired, the sound measured one meter away from the muzzle is about 170 decibels. After installing a silencer, the sound when shooting can be reduced.
to one hundred and twenty to one hundred and forty decibels.
Real firearm silencers are not as quiet as those demonstrated in movies and TV shows, they only make "chirp" and "chirp" sounds. A real rifle silencer can reduce the sound by thirty to fifty decibels, which is already very impressive.
So are there guns as quiet as those in movies and TV shows? Yes, they are specially designed silent guns and are equipped with subsonic bullets. The sound will be relatively low, maybe only 40 to 60 decibels, which is already
It's very quiet.
The most famous one is the VSS silenced submachine gun, which has a relatively high frequency of appearances in games and film and television dramas. It is also known as a water gun among us gamers. Its shooting sound is very low.
You know, the normal speaking voice of us people is only forty to sixty decibels.
The sound of the shooting just now was only about thirty to forty decibels, which was lower than the sound of human speech.
Such a small sound surprised not only Pang Zhengqing who was watching from the side, but also Luo Kai who was shooting. He even looked down at the electromagnetic gun in his hand and the monitor hanging next to him.
If it hadn't been for the display showing a bullet hole in the middle of the target, he would have doubted whether he had fired.
Eight rings, good marksmanship. Wu Hao praised with a smile.
You know, this is a brand new weapon for Luo Kai, which is very different from conventional firearms. Luo Kai hit the eighth ring with the first shot for the first time, which must be said to be a very good result.
.
Luo Kai smiled and shook his head: "It's a good gun. When I shot just now, I basically didn't feel much noise. The recoil was very small and very linear. It's not like a traditional rifle that jerks your shoulder when shooting."
Give me a punch.
The recoil of this electromagnetic gun is like putting a fist on your shoulder, and the feeling is completely different."
Having said this, Luo Kai shook his head, then raised the muzzle of his gun, pointed it at the target, and started pulling the trigger continuously.
Da da da……
There were more bullet holes in the middle of the target, but Luo Kai shook his head when he saw this, and then moved the safety knob and put the shooting mode into continuous fire.
Then he pointed the gun at the target and started shooting.
Da da da……
Compared with single-shot burst firing, the sound of continuous firing is slightly louder, but it is not much louder. There is no smoke from the muzzle, and there is no gun flame.
The middle of the target was densely hit by the bullets fired continuously, eventually forming a hole.
It only took about ten seconds for a whole magazine of 120 rounds to be used up. Luo Kai shook his head and removed the magazine and pulled the bolt to make sure there were no bullets in the chamber.
Finally, he turned off the safety, placed the electromagnetic gun on the iron table in front of the shooting window, then took off the protective earphones, turned to Wu Hao and shook his head: "I don't like it, I don't feel it at all, it gives people the feeling.
It's not like a gun at all, it's a bit like a stapler, or the sound of a binding machine, and there's no fun in shooting."
Hearing Luo Kai's description, Pang Zhengqing on the side also laughed, and then joked to Luo Kai: "It's like you are used to eating big fish and meat, and suddenly I serve you some exquisite dishes.
But you find that the delicious food is not as fragrant as the big fish and meat you usually eat."
Hehehe...
Wu Hao also laughed, then handed Luo Kai a towel and said: "It's normal, many of our testers also have the same feeling as you after they started shooting.
They said the same thing as you, that is, this gun will feel very mediocre when shooting, and it does not have the thrill of shooting with traditional firearms.
Especially for veterans who are accustomed to using traditional firearms, shooting with this gun is too uncomfortable. They don't like it very much and say it feels weak and boring.
For many ordinary people who use this electromagnetic gun to shoot for the first time, they prefer electromagnetic guns in comparison, because in their opinion, traditional firearms are too loud and have too much recoil."
Speaking of this, Wu Hao pressed the button and withdrew the target while saying to the two of them: "In fact, when we switched from the traditional August 1st automatic rifle to the Type 95 automatic rifle, there would be a similar sound.
, many veterans are saying that the 95th style is not as powerful as the 81st bar, and it is uncomfortable to use.
Even if you don't like the Type 95, there are various criticisms about it, but its overall performance indicators are much better than the Bayi Bar, that's why it has become a standard weapon installed by our army, and it can be used for more than 20 times
Year.
In future wars, this electromagnetic gun will surely replace traditional firearms and become the standard weapon in the hands of soldiers.
Let’s not talk about other aspects, let’s just talk about its several major advantages, such as low sound, no smoke, no gun flame, and such a large ammunition capacity. In these aspects, it is far ahead of traditional firearms.
Not to mention its low cost of use, high accuracy and range."
Hearing what Wu Hao said, Pang Zhengqing immediately nodded and agreed with Wu Hao's words. Although Luo Kai didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Wu Hao was right. This gun did have the same characteristics as traditional firearms.
The advantages.
But it is obviously unrealistic to say that it can completely replace traditional rifles. Although the ammunition used in this electromagnetic gun is very cheap, that is, metal warheads and electricity, which is much cheaper than traditional bullets. However, the cost of electromagnetic guns is more expensive than traditional ones.
Firearms are much more expensive, so in this way, they are not actually much cheaper.
Secondly, the reliability of the electromagnetic gun still needs to be verified, and in terms of adaptability to the environment, it is still not as resistant as traditional firearms.
