Chapter 432： Bogmans Gift (1/2)
”Mr. Theodore Bergman, I now give you a chance. If you can persuade my subordinate to use the machine guns you produced, then good, all the light machine guns purchased by the Bavarian Army in the next 3 years will be used. The machine gun produced by your company!” The prince finished speaking, turned and left, leaving time for this fledgling gun designer.
”Hello, dear Major Carl, I now introduce you a new type of light machine gun, which can meet almost all your needs, such as continuous firepower, lighter weight, more comfortable shooting methods, and more High stability.” After speaking, the designer opened a grab box, and then easily placed a chic machine gun in front of Lieutenant Colonel Karl. ”You can take a look at this machine gun first.”
Carl was very interested when looking at this slender machine gun, which gave people a sharp and capable look. He tried to pick up the machine gun. ”Oh my God, this machine gun is too light! Even the bipod is included. No more than 15kg, right?”
”Yes, the weight of this machine gun is only 12.9kg without ammunition, etc.!” Theodore Bogman said proudly.
”But I want to know how this machine gun is cooled? It does not have a cooling water bucket and no exhaust bucket. I guess this machine gun will overheat when it fires up to 300 rounds.” The picky Lieutenant Colonel lowered the machine gun in his hand and was curious. Asked.
”It's very simple, just change a barrel. Look here.” Bergman opened the latch on the heat pipe and the machine gun receiver. Then the entire barrel was unloaded, and the other hand grabbed the grip on the barrel of the machine gun, and with a slight shake of his wrist, the barrel inside fell off, and then he quickly pressed the other barrel. it is good. Reconnect with the machine gun receiver, the whole process does not exceed 30 seconds!
”Is it over?” Lieutenant Colonel Carl said somewhat surprised.
”Of course, this is over, you only need to prepare two spare barrels, then you don't need to bring any cooling water.” Bergman smiled triumphantly.
”Can I take a look at the receiver part of this machine gun?” Lieutenant Colonel Carl was very satisfied. He didn't expect that the cooling problem that plagued a machine gun would be so easily solved.
”The principle of the receiver of this machine gun is similar to the principle of the experimental light machine gun just now. It is an air-guided principle, not a short rear seat type like the mg98 machine gun. This machine gun is the largest compared to the original The improvement is to make the receiver non-closed, and at the same time have a larger gap, which is not easy to be stuck by dust.”
”The real classic of this machine gun is that it can quickly change the barrel and cool it by constantly changing the barrel. This machine gun may not be better than a water-cooled machine gun with sufficient cooling water in terms of firepower, but in a battlefield environment China is definitely your best friend!” Bogman said.
In the distance, looking at the two people talking in full swing, the prince called a depressed, because the core principle of this machine gun was proposed by him, but the first to complete the experiment was this Bogman and his team, and later The person first applied for a patent.......
