In the movie, the Cousar Crowe Pulse Rifle was a portable weapon designed to target humans and large vehicles.
This type of gun was lightweight and easy to operate. Its range was relatively small, but its power was immense. It also had a set of anti-propulsion piston muzzle system, which greatly reduced the recoil.
Pure black nitrate oxide paint layer, single-point automatic switching, similar to the size of many rifles, but the sleeve part was very thick, full of a heavy sense of power.
There were two pipes at the front of the gun body. In addition to the gun barrel, there was also a pipe for the fuel cell. It was filled with a hydrogen fuel cell with a diameter of 3 cm and a length of 20 cm. Its instantaneous discharge voltage could reach 400V.
In the gun chamber, there was a layer of annular coil laid with room-temperature superconducting material. There was no need for a bore at all. As long as the principle of Lorentz force was used, the bullet could be fired by electromagnetic force and at the same time, the voltage could make it spin at high speed.
Moreover, because the bullet was also made of magnetic metal, according to the diamagnetic principle of superconducting material, the bullet would not touch the barrel at all when it was fired, which indirectly increased the service life of the gun.
The ammunition used in this electromagnetic rifle was the same as the batch of weapons that Chen Chen had Professor Charles create that relied on galaxy as power. The traditional gunpowder structure of the cartridge case was abandoned and the magazine could be loaded with more bullets.
The electromagnetic rifle in front of him used fusiform hollow-point bullets with a size of 5 × 20mm. A palm-sized magazine could be loaded with up to 200 rounds.
In addition to this hollow-point bullet, there were also several types of ammunition such as spiral armor-piercing bullets and explosive bullets to choose from.
Apart from a few core components such as the barrel, the majority of the gun was made of engineering plastics, which greatly reduced the weight of the gun. The gun was 54 cm long and 23 cm tall, but it only weighed 4.5 kg.
Moreover, there was an internal biometric authentication system, so the situation of an enemy "casually picking up a gun" would never happen.
Looking at this pitch-black, heavy killing weapon, Chen Chen adjusted it to single-point mode. He placed the butt of the gun against his right shoulder with his right hand and at the same time, he raised his left hand and aimed at the target a hundred meters away.
After that, he gently pulled the trigger.
With a "whoosh", the steel plate a hundred meters away was directly pierced through, leaving a large hole with a diameter of three centimeters!
"This sound..."
Chen Chen's eyes lit up. This sound was completely different from the firecracker-like popping of traditional gunpowder weapons. Instead, it sounded like the whooshing sound of something moving at an extremely high speed cutting through the air, just mixed with the sound of electric current.
The decibel level of a traditional weapon was extremely high. For example, in a noisy city, the sound of a gunshot could be heard half a kilometer away. However, the sound of this gun was not even 50 decibels, which was far less than the 145-160 decibels of a traditional gunpowder weapon.
Not only that, but in terms of recoil, due to the "anti-propulsion piston muzzle system", Chen Chen felt that the recoil was extremely small, just like the recoil of a pistol.
"The reason why ordinary firearms are loud is because of the difference in the air pressure inside and outside the chamber. The moment the bullet leaves the chamber, the pressure in the chamber decreases, and the loud sound is produced."
Little X explained, "The new rifle doesn't require any chamber pressure, so there's only the sound of bullets piercing through the air."
Chen Chen nodded and could not help but feel amazed. He had played with many firearms in Namibia over the years, but this was the first time he felt so comfortable using a gun.
This was probably the legendary technological gun. Love it, love it...
After that, Chen Chen tested the firing rate. The entire Cousar Crowe Pulse Rifle could be divided into two modes, semi-automatic and fully automatic. After adjusting it to the fully automatic mode, as Chen Chen pulled the trigger, he felt as if the gun in his hand had come to life.
There was a slight vibration. In less than ten seconds, the rifle made a clicking sound and all the bullets were emptied.
"This firing rate is already twice that of an ordinary machine gun..."
Chen Chen touched the barrel and found that the barrel was only slightly hot. This was the diamagnetic effect of the superconductor. With this characteristic, even if thousands of bullets were fired, there would not be any metal fatigue.
After testing, the firing rate of this gun could reach more than 1200 rounds per minute, far surpassing the 17 rounds per second of a technological gun.
In the end, the data of the gun tested by Chen Chen was: length 545mm, weight 4545g after loading, aiming baseline 203mm, barrel diameter 8mm, magazine capacity 200 rounds, initial velocity 1200m/s, kinetic energy 2500J, effective range 600 meters.
Looking at these exaggerated data, Chen Chen could not help but feel speechless. The initial velocity of a bullet fired from an ordinary rifle was only 800m/s, kinetic energy was around 1000J, and the effective range was a mere 400 meters. Even the initial velocity of a bullet from a sniper rifle was not as high as this rifle.
In terms of kinetic energy, although it could not reach the kinetic energy of a powerful sniper rifle, it was not too far behind. If another type of armor-piercing bullet was used, it would have no problem penetrating a 50 mm thick steel plate.
"Not bad."
After testing the gun in his hand, Chen Chen could not help but sigh inwardly. "No muzzle flame, comparable to a silencer, extremely low recoil, power comparable to a sniper rifle... These characteristics are perfectly combined, it's almost a qualitative change. If the entire Black Knights were equipped with this weapon, who would be able to stand a chance against us in a conventional war?"
"However, this is only a small to medium-sized electromagnetic weapon."
Little X said, "The truly powerful ones are still the large-scale electromagnetic weapons. For example, the electromagnetic railgun. Through the use of a huge voltage, a shell weighing several hundred kilograms can be accelerated to the first cosmic speed in an instant. The resulting power can instantly flatten a mountain or destroy a city."
Chen Chen could not help but laugh when he heard this. "We can manufacture such weapons, but how can we hit other cities? It's not an anti-aircraft gun, unless we place this kind of electromagnetic railgun on a satellite and fire from above."
"That's true."
Little X said thoughtfully, "So, the most practical weapon on Earth is still missiles?"
"Yes, for example, an intercontinental missile that can penetrate the atmosphere and then dive at several times the speed of sound. This kind of weapon is the ultimate weapon in conventional warfare on Earth."
Chen Chen nodded. "Therefore, as long as we don't have missiles and air supremacy, we can't let the Earth Federation know about it. Otherwise, so what if our conventional forces are strong? Without air supremacy, we're still just live targets. "
"According to the technical information retrieved from the dimension of Elysium, there's a small aircraft called the 'Bugatti Folger Luxury Transport Vehicle'. It can cross the atmosphere and shuttle back and forth between Earth and Elysium, and it's only the size of a car."
Little X thought about it. "Can you try to accumulate energy to extract it?"
When Chen Chen heard this, he suddenly recalled that the unlucky CEO of Armadyne, John Carlyle, seemed to be riding in this aircraft in the movie.
In the movie, it was the protagonist who shot down the aircraft he was riding and had his brain's memory seized before he died. It could be said that he was the most aggrieved upper-class person to die.
After thinking about it, Chen Chen could not help but shake his head and reject Little X's idea. "This kind of aircraft has no stealth ability. I require my aircraft to have optical, infrared, and radar triple stealth. Besides, one or two such aircraft won't change anything. What I need is an aircraft that can be continuously produced and manufactured.
"In other words, all of this is still a problem of industrial development."
Chen Chen wore a thoughtful look. "And if I remember correctly, this kind of aircraft relies on nuclear fusion engines to cross outer space. Although we've also obtained information on nuclear fusion engines, if we want to replicate them, there's still a long way to go.
"So, the next step, we must first solve the problem of nuclear fusion..."
