Chapter 80: Return to the ancestral 88 gun

It was said before that the flying mobile phones were scattered in four directions, but in fact they should be scattered in three directions.

Three directions, the steel wall, and the hills and cliffs on both sides.

The two that Ruger killed at the beginning were the group that flew to the steel wall.

Then the last three naturally flew outwards towards the hill on one side.

When they were in the camp before, they didn't fly very fast, but once they rushed out, their speed immediately soared.

Ruger has already rushed to the edge of the camp. If he continues to rush forward, he should rush to the cliff behind the cliff after jumping over the hill.

It is said that there will be adventures after jumping off the cliff. I wonder if he can have double adventures if he jumps with the tank.

Well, that's a complete joke.

He won't foolishly drive a tank to jump off the cliff.

Uh, no, he can't jump himself.

What adventures can there be after jumping off the cliff? What other adventure can compare to getting a time travel system?

A new version that answers all requests?

Forget it, don't be too greedy.

Seeing the last three flying mobile phones flying farther and farther away, Ruger couldn't drive off the cliff, and it was impossible for him to use a remote-controlled machine gun to shoot them down.

But he still had one last trick, artillery!

So, he simply slowed down the car and let it slide forward slowly, and when it reached the hill, it almost stopped under the action of gravity.

And he himself repeated the old trick, jumped into the back compartment, and adjusted the mortar howitzer.

Ordinary mortar howitzers are more or less like dogs trying to catch rats when trying to hit aerial targets.

But Ruger's gun, the prototype is at least an 88mm anti-tank gun.

The latter also has a prototype, but it is an 88mm anti-aircraft gun.

Using such a gun to hit targets in the sky is definitely not a side door, it can only be said to be a throwback.

Of course, after being made lightweight, continuous-fire and mortar-like, this gun actually has very different parameters from its two generations of ancestors.

For example, the Type 88 gun in World War II, whether it was an anti-aircraft gun, an anti-tank gun or a tank gun, was a rifled gun.

There are spiral rifling in the barrel similar to that of a rifle, which will make the fired shells rotate on their own.

As we all know, most mortars are smoothbore guns, and most of them do not have rifling.

However, the dual-purpose mortar-howitzer gun has to take into account the use of howitzers, and in fact it also has rifling.

However, the rifling of the new gun, whether in size or length, is different from the original gun.

Cumulatively, in key factors such as the initial velocity of the shell, the new gun is far behind the prototype.

The only thing to be thankful for is that because the materials are good and the craftsmanship is good, the accuracy of this gun is not bad at least within 5 kilometers.

Overall, it seems to be usable.

Rather than tinkering with artillery, Ruger actually spent most of his energy on shells.

If a new generation of intelligent anti-aircraft shells could be made, Ruger would not be worried at all.

However, the reality is that the materials used in that kind of shells are too complicated, and it takes a considerable amount of time to debug, which he does not have time for now.

In the end, he chose to use the same type of ammunition as the old 88 anti-aircraft gun in World War II.

Timed fuze shrapnel.

Shrapnel, as the name suggests, is a combination of grenades and shotguns.

It is to make the fragments shot out of a grenade look like a shotgun.

It feels like a shotgun shooting deer bullets and birdshot containing steel balls.

Well, to shoot at something flying in the sky, it can only be birdshot.

It's just that the steel balls shot out of a round of this ammunition are more numerous and more widely scattered.

This method is necessary to attack small targets flying at high speed in the air.

If you round it off, you can also regard such a gun as a shotgun used by giants.

Of course, the principles are not exactly the same.

Shrapnel is more like firing a single-headed bullet first.

Let the single-headed bullet fly to a certain area, and then explode like a grenade to blow out the steel ball inside.

The mechanism of damage is like this, so the next question is, how to control the timing?

Who, by what method, decides where this "single-headed bullet" explodes like a grenade?

This part is the role of the so-called time fuze.

The most commonly used fuze by Ruger is the trigger type, that is, the impact type.

This type of fuze will be triggered when it hits the target and then triggers the main explosive to explode.

But this type of fuze can be used on the ground, but not on the air.

Think about it, a huge shell with a diameter of nearly 9 cm actually has to completely hit a target with a cross-sectional side length of less than 9 cm to explode.

Then why bother to let it explode? If it can be shot so accurately, even a brick can get rid of the enemy.

Therefore, the fuze commonly used in the shells of anti-aircraft guns in World War II is another type, the time fuze.

If the speed and flight angle of the shells are known, the flight altitude of the shells after a certain time can be calculated.

In this way, the explosion altitude of the shells can be adjusted by adjusting the explosion time of the time fuse.

However, this kind of fuse is suitable for anti-aircraft artillery positions that already know themselves and the enemy, but it is not so useful for Ruger's current needs.

Because he knows the speed of the shells, but he doesn't know what angle to hit the enemy.

But it doesn't matter, he has a way.

He designed and manufactured these time fuse shrapnel shells when he made ammunition for Tia before.

Although the limited ammunition was loaded into Tia's small bag, he could still buy new ones directly from the logistics space.

He just had to grit his teeth and bear the pain.

While massaging his heart, he exchanged a magazine of five rounds of this kind of shells, set different detonation times in sequence, and loaded them into the automatic loader.

The rapid-fire mortar howitzer itself has a magazine-like structure. It is closer to the old-fashioned clip when it is called a magazine.

In the Chinese context, it is said to change the bullets for the gun, and in spoken language, it is often said to change the magazine, which actually refers to the old-fashioned clip and bridge clip.

But in fact, it is also easy to confuse in English. Clip and magazine are often used interchangeably.

So, this is not a problem of natural unprofessionalism in the Chinese context, but a historical legacy of the development of firearms.

There are many specific differences between the two, and it is troublesome to explain them completely. In fact, you can make a subjective judgment by listening to the name.

Magazine is a box for loading bullets. It is a box with bullets inside.

A clip is a clip that holds the bullet, with the bullet exposed outside.

A bridge clip is a clip that holds the bottom edge of the bullet, that is, the metal sheet that bulges toward the edge at the tail of the bullet.

By clamping this tail, the bullet can be fixed.

A leak clip is like a hollow iron frame, which looks like the bullets are piled together and wrapped with iron sheets from the outside.

The shell magazine of the mortar howitzer is actually more like this leak clip.

After all, it is not only a waste of material but also a waste of volume to put such large shells into the box, which is even more unnecessary.

If the leak clip can be used for feeding, it can actually be changed to a belt feed after further improvement.

The belt itself can be regarded as a leak clip that can be expanded, diffracted and has a certain deformation ability.
