Sometimes, human thoughts are actually very simple. This can be clearly seen from the development of certain weapons and equipment.
In the beginning, human cannons were all made of a tube. Then, naturally, in order to increase the rate of fire of the artillery and increase the power of the weapon, some people thought of adding a barrel to increase the power.
The reason is actually very simple, it just uses the simplest mathematical principle: you see, one plus one will always equal two, right?
Therefore, humans have often started to do addition problems in this direction. If a single-barreled anti-aircraft gun cannot do it, then add another barrel and turn it into a double-barreled anti-aircraft gun. Do you think the firepower density will be doubled?
Then, after making some progress, human beings began to go further and further on such a road of no return.
The double-barreled gun eventually became a four-barreled gun. So, after the Army's latest anti-aircraft weapon appeared, everyone was surprised to find that it still had the same familiar formula and the same familiar taste.
The updated product of the zsu-57-2 anti-aircraft gun has naturally become the zsu-25-4! Yes, the double-barreled gun has become a four-barreled gun, and the latest anti-aircraft gun is the famous alien version of the Shilka River
Self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.
Because of the caliber, the Irish version of the quadruple self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was modified to a 25 mm caliber, which increased its power and made the caliber more pleasing to the eye.
Of course, in order to increase the firepower, this kind of addition problem is far from reaching the end. In order to increase the instantaneous firepower pouring ability, the number of gun barrels is rushing towards 6 barrels.
A new and exciting super machine gun has been successfully developed and is being fielded to the troops. This weapon has a very fancy name, called "Vulcan". Yes, it is derived from the six-barreled gun of the 1960s.
The Divine Cannon has already appeared in the weapon sequence of Ailanshir.
What's even more interesting is that after the birth of this Vulcan cannon, the first weapon it was equipped with was an "evil" aircraft, which really made people laugh and cry.
Yes, after the Vulcan cannon was developed, the first equipment target was the modified aerial gunship, which is the A-130 attack aircraft of Alan Hill!
This improved alien version of the gunship uses the less powerful air defense capabilities of the Demon and the Puppet, and is also aimed at the slightly exaggerated human sea tactics of the Demon and the Puppet.
When developing this kind of air force weapon, Ireland's ideal situation is to first use B-52 or B-17 bombers to carpet bomb a certain theater, and then after destroying the enemy, use A-130 to suppress all ground targets.
While equipped with two Vulcan 20mm caliber machine guns, the A-130 aerial gunship is also equipped with two 75mm caliber howitzers.
The reason why it is not equipped with a 105mm caliber gun is mainly due to problems such as the muzzle brake, and the immature fire control system, so the more mature 75mm gun is temporarily used instead.
Due to caliber issues, there was no need to install and use another Bofors 40 mm caliber rapid-fire gun, so in the end this artillery was replaced with another 75 mm caliber gun.
In other words, the alien version of the A-130 is equipped with two 20mm caliber Vulcan cannons and two 75mm caliber infantry cannons. Although the firepower has been somewhat discounted, the focus is on unified caliber and sufficient logistical support.
The most interesting thing is that even with the 6-barreled Vulcan cannon, Airland Hill's engineers were not satisfied. When developing the latest attack aircraft, they used a brand new 7-barreled 30mm caliber cannon.
.
This kind of machine gun is very powerful and can easily mow down all targets on its path. Its weight is astonishing, and its rate of fire is shocking. It was created solely to equip Alan Hill with its most advanced attacks.
machine.
Who could imagine that human imagination is so limited. When they increase firepower, they just one-sidedly pile all their hopes on increasing the number of gun barrels.
You know, the theoretical rate of fire of a double-barreled 57mm anti-aircraft gun is only about 200 rounds per minute.
The latest ZSU-25-4 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun issued to the Army Air Defense Force has a rate of fire of nearly a thousand rounds per minute.
When it comes to the six-barreled Vulcan cannon, the A-130 can theoretically pour 2,500 rounds on the target per minute. The two Vulcan cannons add up to 5,000 rounds!
Although the gun-8 aircraft gun using seven barrels has a rate of fire reduced to 2,000 rounds per minute, it can fire 30 mm caliber aircraft bombs, which theoretically has a stronger firepower pouring capability.
This is actually just the beginning, because there is a weapon system developed for future warships in the technical department. It has 11 gun barrels and can pour a full 11,000 rounds of 30 mm caliber shells at the target every minute...
Ever since meeting the senior magician Vivian, Alan Hill's fear of insufficient firepower has spread and penetrated into every corner of his bones. Who would have thought that with all kinds of weapons and equipment developed today, he is still worried about himself?
Insufficient power?
You must know that this future artillery can pour more than 160 shells at the target every minute. If necessary, these shells can be armor-piercing shells, enough to shatter high-level magic defense barriers in an instant.
The barrage formed by this weapon within a few seconds can cover the entire movement trajectory of the magician. As long as it is given two seconds to react, it can terminate anything that enters its range.
If one day, humans invent a super artillery with 22 barrels in order to enhance their firepower, don’t be too surprised. After all, this is humans’ unique understanding of weapons and the essence of human tube civilization.
Of course, this is just an idea of a weapon and equipment that will be equipped with troops in the future. At present, the troops cannot enjoy the firepower advantage brought by such a terrible weapon. However, whether it is the zsu-25-4 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun or the a-130
Aerial gunships are all new weapons that have entered service.
After the emergence of these weapons, Eiland Hill's firepower advantage became even more obvious. This was an overwhelming advantage, especially in a direction where the combat intensity was not so strong, the advantage was even more obvious.
Do you still remember the fear that the dragon brought to mortals back then? Now, when an A-130 aerial gunship carrying more than 10 tons of ammunition appears in the sky over the southern theater of Ireland, who can imagine the dominance it brings?
When this A-130 flies around a city, it is like a mechanical dragon staring at its prey.
"Well, can you knock this damn guy down?" A general asked his staff in a depressed voice on the city top of the Jesno Empire, holding the long sword on his waist.
"General, whether it's a catapult, a ballista, or the soldiers' bows and arrows, there's nothing you can do against that big guy..." An old staff member replied: "We've all tried it, but no weapon can hit that big guy."
high."
"We are a hinterland city more than 100 miles away from the front line! The enemy came in like this?" the general guarding the city pointed at the A-130 and shouted resentfully.
The main forces are deployed on the front line. Of course, the troops equipped with Mauser rifles and 30mm anti-aircraft guns cannot stay in the hinterland cities. In order to prevent Eiland Hill from breaking through the border, most of the troops equipped with firearms are in the north.
In order to invade the Palak Empire, the remaining troops of the Jesno Empire are fighting in the south, so the defense here is basically the same as it was five years ago.
Five years ago, there was no empire like Elanthir, so you can imagine the level of weapons and equipment here: ballistae and catapults were placed on the city walls, and the soldiers were equipped with bows, arrows, and spears.
Well, at least they have thick armor, but I don’t know if it can withstand the 20mm Vulcan cannon...
This is simply the most ideal place to use aerial gunships, because the anti-aircraft weapons here basically rely on animal tendons as launch power...
On Earth, even on the most backward and secluded battlefields of the 21st century, the A-130 will risk facing Stinger anti-aircraft missiles. But here, the A-130 just needs to be careful not to be stoned.
Just hit it.
Therefore, in the slightly bumpy plane, several soldiers gave a thumbs up easily and shouted loudly into the recorder: "The 22nd actual combat test of the A-130 air gunship suppression attack! Begin!"
"Thud! Thud! Boom! Boom!" This A-130 flew around the city like a vulture. The two Vulcan cannons on one side and the 75mm caliber infantry cannon played a magnificent movement.
The tracer bullets followed the trajectory of the plane and weaved into a huge funnel-shaped light curtain in the sky. The city shrouded by the shells was instantly covered in chaotic smoke and dust, making it impossible to see the original situation.
"What on earth does our Majesty think? To start a war against such an enemy?" On top of the city, the general holding his long sword looked at the firepower he had never seen in his life, and asked the staff around him dumbfounded.
"I...I don't know...what he was thinking...Maybe he is crazy, maybe we are crazy too..." The old staff member swallowed his saliva and saw a piece of the city head turned into a sieve by tracer bullets, and then
He was hit by a 75mm caliber artillery shell, collapsed and collapsed, and answered melancholy.
In his opinion, even if it were a giant dragon, it would take some effort to destroy such a city, right? The monster in front of him, pouring ammunition in circles, was simply more terrifying than the giant dragon.
They don't know yet, because they have to leave some cities as weapons test sites, so they are lucky here. Just behind them, those cities more than 200 kilometers away from the front line are facing the b- in the sky that blocks the sun.
25 bombers…
These planes were eliminated from the Western Front and are now all sent to the Southern Front... The good days of the mortal empire Jesno are over.
