Chapter five hundred and eighteenth tin core hollow bullet
Yang Mingzhi conducted this seminar with strong enthusiasm.
The rocket propellant improvement plan came to an end, and the discussion focused on bullets.
"The arsenal can produce brittle bullets, which can break the enemy into pieces when hit, and are more lethal than ordinary ammunition. We can rely on existing materials to produce such ammunition, and we should further improve it so that all production
All the bullets can hit the enemy and quickly break them into pieces."
"This is a good idea, but how do we complete it?" Liguschkov asked. "At the end of the experiment, 30% of the bullets were not broken. And the fragments of the broken warheads were very large, as if the cylindrical warheads were not broken.
Broken in the middle.”
"Then find a way to make it split from the top, and then the overall split will occur."
The focus of the question turned to how to make the warhead explode from the top. Some people even joked: "It is better to replace the warhead with a detonator."
Everyone laughed, and Yang Mingzhi also smiled and waved his hands to deny this conjecture. However, there is a detonator inserted into the bullet head. Among the Winchester series lever rifles, there is indeed a matching bullet with a detonator added. This was what I thought.
The warhead can snipe the enemy's ammunition box, causing a big explosion, or it can hit the enemy and make a hole as big as a bowl.
This technology seemed too advanced at the end of the 19th century. Later, this kind of ammunition was realized in anti-materiel sniper rifles, but a hundred years have passed.
Yang Mingzhi regained his composure and said: "The bullet will deform instantly when it hits the enemy. This type of warhead has appeared for a long time. It is characterized by a dent in the head and is filled with soft and deformable lead. What we lack most is
Lead, if there is no shortage, we can also make lead-core steel bullets."
The people at the arsenal nodded, acknowledging this view. One person asked: "Sir mentioned the hollow-point bullet. If it is just to drill a hole in the warhead, the processing technology will be convenient and only a small change will be needed."
Yang Mingzhi shook his finger and signaled the people in the arsenal and weapons design bureau to listen carefully.
"The ammunition I want to talk about is not a pure hollow point bullet. If we talk about the structure, it will indeed have a groove. But I want it to achieve a similar effect to the DUM bullet. Because of the lack of soft lead, we must find another way.
"Yang Mingzhi turned his eyes to Liguschkov. "How are the tin reserves in the arsenal now?"
"Compared to lead, the storage capacity of tin is extremely large." The arsenal's explanation was very satisfactory. Tin is a very common metal. For industrial needs, the blacksmith village originally had a lot of reserves. In addition, from the city of Homnich
A large amount of metals were transported from the ruins, including tin. Liguschkov seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked: "Sir, is it possible that you want to produce bronze? Its hardness is indeed not as good as pig iron."
"No!" Yang Mingzhi showed a reassuring smile, as if everything was under control. He shook his finger: "Tin is extremely soft and has a very low melting point. It cannot be used as a bullet, but it can be used as the center of a hollow-point bullet.
The filling of the cavity.”
The notebook was spread out on the conference table. Yang Mingzhi took out the pen and drew the good bullet in his mind with his skillful hand.
Everyone immediately stood up and poked their heads, staring at the tip of the officer's pen. They saw the shape of a bullet drawn, and at the tip of the bullet, everything was different.
Yang Mingzhi drew three views, marked the approximate length of each size, and simply wrote down the processing technology.
I saw that the warhead is still a cylindrical metal. The original round head has been ground to create a flat surface, and a hole has been cut out by the drill bit. This hole is not empty, and it is naturally filled with tin. But this is still not the end, ah
There are several more grooves on the outside of the warhead, and people immediately thought that this is exactly the same as the fragmentation groove of a grenade!
For professionals, a process card and three views of the workpiece are worth a thousand words.
The husband listened to the officer's words for a long time and was very interested. Now that he saw the drawings, he slapped his thigh with excitement.
"The chief of staff is the chief of staff. If I produce such a bullet, after it hits the enemy, the tin under high pressure will liquefy, and the powerful hydraulic pressure will squeeze the surrounding iron and crack along the reserved fragment groove. In this picture
Drawing eight fragment grooves will naturally divide it into eight small warheads, plus the iron of the base, there are nine warheads. When we hit the enemy with one bullet, it is equivalent to hitting nine bullets."
"And depending on the angle of the hit, the pattern of shrapnel dispersion is also different. Simply put, there is no pattern." Yang Mingzhi was really proud now. The techniques he knew were not mysterious, because in the original plane,
Americans invented this kind of perverted weapon.
Later dummy bullets were banned in many countries, and it was rumored that the United States also banned their use. In fact, this was not the case. They invented more deadly warheads, one of which was a warhead that split with prefabricated fragments when hit by one shot, making small-caliber warheads also available in shotguns.
The power. What’s funny is that the design concept of this kind of warhead is to ensure that women can kill the gangster with one shot when holding a gun for self-defense.
Yang Guo and Natasha, who temporarily took on the job of serving tea and water, knew that these men were smoking cigarettes and talking in Russian, but they really didn't understand the various professional terms involved.
Seeing her husband surrounded by a group of people, they were all high-level intellectuals, which showed her husband's status in the crowd. "Sure enough, knowledge is power." Yang Tao was happy for her husband, said casually, and continued to be busy with Natasha.
thing.
The two girls preferred to stay with their superiors. It was because of their feelings and because of military orders.
In his excitement, Yang Mingzhi naturally forgot about them and didn't notice them until he brought the warm water that had just been boiled and then cooled down.
"You two should go home first and tell the cafeteria to send dinner to the weapons design bureau. We have a lengthy meeting today!"
Yang Tao pouted, it was really worrying that her husband was so busy. He was exhausted today and will be depressed tomorrow.
The smoke in the room was too heavy, so the two girls sighed and left the design bureau with orders in mind without staying any longer.
"Okay! Our girls will leave for now and let's continue the discussion." The enthusiastic Yang Mingzhi returned to his seat, when the husband asked the key question.
Because the gyroscopic effect of the bullet is the most important thing to maintain the stable flight of the warhead, there is a hole in the middle that will affect the flight of the bullet. In theory, the impact will be offset by the gyroscopic effect to the greatest extent. However, if this hole is slightly eccentric, it will cause the bullet to fly
If it loses stability, it can easily turn into the condition of a smoothbore gun after being discharged.
Yang Mingzhi has already thought about this money situation. "In the production plan, we do need workers to drill holes manually, but it is not purely a hand-held drill. Here we can use a woodworking lathe. There are several such lathes in our arsenal."
Based on the properties of the material, we can drill holes on the wood lathe to ensure that the holes are not eccentric."
"Just do it! I'm totally capable of it." Liguschkov saw the great prospects of this kind of bullet. Its processing was very simple. It was just drilling holes and rifling in inferior cast iron. These tasks can be completed by a woodworking lathe.
Yang Mingzhi looked at the enthusiastic man and felt very satisfied. "Liguschkov, I think you should set up a new team dedicated to transforming warheads. If the production can keep up, we will do this for future reloading bombs."
Since the chamber pressure has been greatly reduced due to the use of black powder, and the muzzle velocity has dropped to what it was a few decades ago, modifying the bullet is our only way out."
The design of new bullets is launched earlier than artillery shells of mass destruction, all because it can be produced immediately under existing conditions. Even inferior warheads are harder than wood. Only under high-speed impact, various types of bullets can be broken.
Only the type of bullet warhead can be displayed.
According to its composition, Yang Mingzhi called the new bullet a "tin core-clad steel hollow point bullet." Perhaps within a few days, a large number of such bullets would come off the production line.
Bullets are the foundation of ordinary infantry. With them, Yang Mingzhi believes that the combat effectiveness of the swampland troops will be improved again.
