What is the range of this electromagnetic gun? Luo Kai asked while holding the basic electromagnetic rifle in his hand and trying to aim it.

Hearing this question, Wu Hao shook his head with a smile and said: "Traditional firearms rely on the size of the bullet and the amount of charge to determine the range of the bullet. The difference in range between the same bullet and different firearms is actually very small. This is mainly because Because the length of the barrel in these firearms has a certain impact on the range. The longer the barrel, the longer the bullet will be under force in the chamber, and the longer the range will be. The shorter the barrel, the faster the bullet will be ejected. The acceptance time in the barrel is short, and the range is slightly shorter, but the overall difference is not too great.

But for our electromagnetic gun family, the range of different electromagnetic guns naturally has a big difference. Simply put, the longer the barrel, the farther the range will be.

The bullets used by these guns are actually the same, but the barrel lengths of different electromagnetic guns are very different. The longest one is the precision shooter rifle in my hand. It uses a long barrel, so the electromagnetic drive device inside is longer, the bullet's afterburning time is longer, the speed of the chamber is faster, and the range is naturally shorter. It's even further away.

Like the electromagnetic precision shooter rifle in my hand, its range can reach about two kilometers, which is almost the limit of the shooting distance of small-caliber bullets. Usually, there are only large-caliber 12.7 heavy machine guns and large-caliber sniper rifle bullets. It has such a range.

And our small-caliber bullet can achieve such a distance, and its effective range is about 1,200 meters.

Like the basic model you are holding, its range can reach about 1,400 meters, and its effective range can reach 800 meters. This range has already surpassed many sniper rifles.

As for this carbine short-tube model, its range is relatively short, only about 800 meters, and the effective range is only about 400 meters.

As for this kind of submachine gun, because it uses a short barrel design, its range is about 400 meters, and its effective range is about 200 meters.

As for this pistol, its range can reach two hundred meters, and its effective range can reach one hundred meters.

The last model of this machine gun actually uses a heavy barrel, and its range is comparable to that of a precision shooter rifle.

These types of guns are much farther than traditional rifles in terms of actual range and effective range. This means that within the same distance as a traditional rifle, it has a straighter ballistic trajectory, a faster initial velocity of the bullet, and is less affected by the environment, so it is naturally more accurate. "

"What is the rate of fire of this electromagnetic gun, can it be fired in bursts, or does it take time to store power before firing again." Pang Zhengqing couldn't help asking.

Wu Hao shook his head with a smile, and then replied: "You don't need to store power, you can achieve continuous launch, because it uses electromagnetic propulsion technology, so basically there is no time gap, as long as the power and ammunition can be supplied in time Quotient. However, overall, its rate of fire is not low. The maximum rate of fire per minute can reach about 800 rounds, and the minimum continuous rate of fire can reach about 200 rounds.

There is an adjustment switch on our firearms, which can adjust the fire rate of the firearms to meet the needs of actual combat. "

Hearing Wu Hao's answer, both Luo Kai and Pang Zhengqing nodded in satisfaction. No need to charge, and it can be fired continuously, which is great, beyond their expectations.

You must know that electromagnetic weapons are very power-hungry, and usually need to be stored to be able to launch. Under normal circumstances, the power is stored in a large capacitor or a felon generator. When it is necessary to launch, the capacitor or the felon generator is quickly transferred to instantly transmit a large amount of power, so that the warhead can be launched at a super high speed. push out.

This is also the reason why an electromagnetic gun needs so many supporting equipment. The electromagnetic gun is not large, but there are more equipment and facilities to support the electromagnetic gun.

However, Wu Hao and the others were able to integrate such a complex system into a firearm, and they had to marvel at its powerful scientific research capabilities.

In particular, this gun can fire continuously without needing to store energy, which is unbelievable.

"How is this possible? Don't ordinary electromagnetic guns need a certain amount of time to charge?" Pang Zhengqing still showed an expression of disbelief, and asked Wu Hao curiously.

And Wu Hao smiled, then pointed to the second half of Gunslinger and said: "There is a super capacitor system in it, which can realize the powerful function of storing electricity once and quickly discharging it.

Traditional capacitors need to store electricity slowly first, and then release it once or several times when it is full. But they are all one-way, that is to say, intelligent power storage or discharge, the two cannot be carried out at the same time.

To use an analogy, this is like a water cup, and the receiving and pouring of water cannot be performed at the same time.

And our supercapacitor bank, or supercapacitor system, perfectly solves this problem. It can quickly store and discharge quickly, and it can also discharge while storing.

The entire supercapacitor system is divided into several small capacitors~www.readwn.com~ These capacitors are arranged together, and each capacitor is a storage device.

This is equivalent to having many water cups at once, so that we can use these water cups for rotation, so as to save water while pouring water.

The electric energy stored in a small capacitor can fire a bullet, and so many small capacitors can fire a lot of bullets together. And these capacitors can realize fast power storage, so when all the capacitors in the whole system are rotated, the first batch of capacitors used has already been fully charged, so that the cycle continues, and the function of charging and discharging is realized.

So when you use it, you can't feel the process of its power storage.

Of course, it also has a shortcoming or shortcoming, that is, after each restart, it needs to be warmed up for two minutes to store electricity for these supercapacitor systems.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the entire electromagnetic gun is in a charged state, so that it can be fired at any time. "

This problem is fine in normal times, but it would be too fatal in wartime. I ran out of battery while playing, and I had to wait for two minutes after changing the battery. I am afraid that within these two minutes, the enemy would have already attacked. Luo Kai couldn't help complaining when he heard his introduction.

Regarding Luo Kai's complaints, Wu Hao smiled and said: "No, it is only needed when it is not used for a long time and is turned on again. At other times, it is not necessary to replace the battery. The capacitor itself is fully charged, which can be regarded as a It is a kind of battery, so after changing the battery, it is enough to continue to store electricity for the capacitor, and there is no need to heat the engine.”
