It is not difficult to make a Maxim machine gun. This antique model is even sold on a certain website, and its unique toggle retraction mechanism is not structurally complex.
According to the drawings, Chen Xin used the system to transfer materials from the storage room.
Although high-performance steel is required to manufacture machine guns, for the system, ordinary steel is enough, and Chen Xin can leave the rest to the system boldly and safely.
Using the processing function of the workbench to manufacture Maxim's parts, and then assembling these parts bit by bit, a Maxim soon appeared on Chen Xin's workbench.
Although the entire assembly has not been completed, Chen Xin has only completed the barrel and bolt parts, not even the most important bracket. The unpainted gun body is completely in its original metallic color and looks miserable. But he made no secret of the power exuded by this terrifying killing machine.
The Maxim heavy machine gun was the world's first truly successful automatic weapon powered by gunpowder gas. Once applied, it became the most efficient killing machine in human history.
During the war between the Japanese and the Lucians, the military god Nogi Nogi Nogi, who was praised by the Japanese, led 60,000 people to attack the Lucians' positions. They adopted a very brainless tactic of rushing forward and were killed within three hours. Five thousand people.
Although the Lucians were defeated in the end, by the time they were finally captured, Nogi Nogi's 60,000 soldiers had suffered more than 30,000 casualties.
In World War I, Maxim won the title of Widow Maker for his terrifying killing efficiency.
In the Battle of the Somme, the death firepower network composed of hundreds of Maxims caused more than 60,000 casualties in one day. In World War I, it can be said that almost an entire generation of people in Europe at that time was killed.
This terrifying killing machine uses the recoil generated when bullets are fired to achieve automatic shooting. Compared with the Namo Gatling Bodhisattva invented by federal doctors to reduce the casualties of soldiers participating in the war, it is much more efficient. It is also simpler and more convenient to maintain and maintain, so it quickly replaced Gatling after its advent.
However, because of its high rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, the Maxim generates a lot of heat when shooting, and the barrel of the gun will turn red from shooting in a few minutes.
Therefore, there will be a huge circular sleeve on the Maxim's barrel. During use, cooling water is injected into the sleeve to cool the barrel. As long as there is water in the sleeve, the temperature of the barrel will not exceed 1 Baidu, you can keep shooting.
Some people may think that this kind of weapon will have huge advantages when used in cold weather. After all, if the environment is cold enough, the cooling effect must be very good.
But in fact, there are many inconveniences when using Maxim in cold areas.
Because Maxim uses a water injection pipe to add cooling water, dripping water turns into ice in cold areas. The cooling water must burn the ice and snow into water before it can be added to the barrel. This often causes the cooling water to freeze, affecting its use.
Therefore, when used in cold areas, antifreeze must be added to the cooling water, and the antifreeze widely used at that time was alcohol.
This is why there are jokes about Lucians drinking antifreeze, because the cooling water with alcohol added as antifreeze was really a delicious drink for the Lucian soldiers who were called gray animals at that time. ?It’s okay to have a few sips? Who cares whether the gun fires or not
Later, in order to solve this problem, the Sauvian people learned from the Finns and improved the water filling port on the gun barrel, turning it into a large flip cover. Ice and snow can be filled directly into it, which effectively solved this problem.
Of course, for Chen Xin? He will not use such a troublesome method to cool down the barrel. After all, he is only one person? Even if Qin Lan and Ding Ning come, there are only three people? It is best to install defensive weapons at the door and design it to be fully automatic. Yes, it can be best controlled remotely in the shelter.
As for the cooling problem, it may be a difficult problem to solve for people of Maxim's era? But for modern military industry, switching to recyclable coolant and recycling can also solve this problem.
It's just that for the army, it has already been equipped with air-cooled machine guns, so there is no need to stick to water-cooled machine guns.
For Chen Xin, he doesn't have to worry too much about the coolant problem. As long as he keeps a low firing rate and doesn't use it for a long time, Maxim, which is made with modern technology, doesn't actually have much demand for cooling and heat dissipation. After all, the manufacturing process and The materials used are completely different.
Have you installed the last part on the gun body? Then add gun oil to lubricate the parts of the gun body, and a Maxim without a support frame is completed.
Looking at this iron guy that looked like a round roller? Chen Xin reached out and patted it. He tried to pick it up with both hands.
Although it is a bit heavy, it is still within the range that Chen Xin can hold it up. However, this is still a weapon that requires a support frame as a fixed weapon. It is completely impossible to hold it up and shoot it like a light machine gun in movies and TV series.
Therefore, if Chen Xin wants to use this kind of machine gun, he also needs to make a bracket for it.
However, when Chen Xin was preparing to make the bracket, he suddenly remembered a picture he had seen. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to make another one.
Because only steel is needed to make Maxim, the second Maxim also appeared on the workbench soon.
Seeing two identical Maxim heavy machine guns placed on his workbench, Chen Xin nodded with satisfaction and began to make the support frame.
Compared with the Maxim machine gun itself, its bracket is actually more complex in structure, because in addition to serving as a support, the Maxim's bracket has many different functions.
Some have added shields to withstand stray bullets and fragments; some have added seats so you can sit on the stand and shoot; some simply integrate the spare barrel into the stand, which can be disassembled and replaced when necessary. …
What Chen Xin did was to install a parallel bracket that can install two Maxims together, turning the original one Maxim into a double installation.
Because he had the original bracket structure as a reference, the double-mounted bracket was not difficult to make. It only took Chen Xin a little time to make a bracket that could fit both Maxims.
Although the structure is a bit unreasonable and crude, and it is almost impossible to adjust the shooting range and angle, it is still a complete bracket.
After installing two Maxims, the name on the system interface changed from Maxim water-cooled machine guns to twin Maxim water-cooled machine guns. Chen Xin then clicked the upgrade button.
It was still the familiar green light, with a hundred survival points and the consumption of some steel, making the originally rough and crude double-mounted Maxim instantly look different after the green light swept over it.
The original white metal exterior turned black, and part of the structure was replaced by engineering plastics. The diameter of the thick water-cooled sleeve became thinner, but the length was elongated, with a longer sleeve and a longer barrel. , which not only improves the heat dissipation performance, but also enhances the power of the bullet fired from the barrel.
The simple bracket has also been improved, from the original three simple support legs to a complete support structure. The movable connection structure that Chen Xin did not originally made has also been added. After the fixation is removed, the gun body can be moved within a certain range. Rotate to achieve multi-angle shooting.
The trigger part has also been modified, from two guns and two triggers to two guns and one trigger, which not only merges the structure, but also reduces the complexity of operation.
As for the loading port, it was also adjusted from facing the same side to one on each side, and according to Chen Xin's idea, a large-capacity magazine was installed on the loading port.
This large-capacity magazine still uses a bullet chain, or simply put, the magazine is just an ammunition box for bullets. However, due to system upgrades, there is an additional ammunition feeding mechanism on this magazine. As long as When mounted on a machine gun, bullets can be fed directly into the loading port.
After completing the production of the machine gun, Chen Xin believed that no one could break in without heavy vehicles or weapons as long as the twin Maxim was installed at the entrance of the shelter.
However, one machine gun has limitations on its shooting angle. After thinking about it, Chen Xin decided that it would be more appropriate to install two.
So he made another Maxim machine gun with the same twin mounts, and then prepared to install them on the door of his shelter.
Two machine guns were installed by Chen Xin on the left and right sides of the gate respectively, because there was an inverted terrain outside the shelter gate. Although there was accumulation of snow around it, the terrain was still flat. He wanted to enter Chen Xin's shelter. You must stand in front of the gate, which is within the range covered by the firepower of two twin Maxims.
Within this scope, if there is not enough protection, no matter how many people there are, they will just be beaten into a sieve.
In addition, Chen Xin installed these two machine guns in the wall with only a small shooting opening. Even if he wanted to destroy these two machine guns, he would not be able to destroy them without heavy firepower. Using human lives to pile up can only be a waste of old and new bullets.
The large-capacity magazine holds two hundred rounds of ammunition, and two double-mounted magazines equal 800 rounds of ammunition.
Even if it is strafing, two hundred rounds of bullets from a single machine gun are enough to sweep for almost a minute. If it is a short burst of fire, it may not take hundreds of lives to use up all these bullets.
Especially after Chen Xin installed the machine gun, he spent a thousand survival points and a lot of materials on the door to upgrade it. While strengthening the door's strength and changing the manual push-pull door to the electro-hydraulic lift door, it also provided The two machine guns have added automatic aiming functions, and infrared night vision monitors and dynamic sensors have been installed on the gates.
The infrared night vision monitor and motion sensor are directly connected to the computer in Chen Xin's bedroom, and are also connected to the two machine guns. Chen Xin can operate them from his bedroom.
As long as a suspicious person appears and triggers the motion sensor, Chen Xin will be awakened by the alarm bell in the bedroom and can see the situation outside the door through the computer screen.
If someone is up to something evil... The four criss-crossing tongues of fire would be a nightmare even on the battlefield. (End of chapter)
