"Be careful! Don't fall down and fall to the ground! I don't want to die here!" A battalion commander frowned and shouted as he watched his subordinates lift ammunition from the supply truck.

In front of him, a truck dedicated to transporting ammunition was parked next to the highway, and the soldiers of this battalion were unloading the slender and beautiful ammunition on it.

These 130mm caliber rockets are a rocket specially used on the German organ rocket launcher.

Each rocket launcher can carry 16 such rockets and pour it into the enemy's positions at one time.

Just now, this rocket launcher launch battalion completed a support fire and now withdraws from the position to reload the rockets in a safe distance.

Compared with other artillery, this multi-rail rocket launcher can quickly pour a large amount of explosives into the target site, but its accuracy is low and the loading time is longer.

Although they cannot fundamentally replace traditional artillery, their low-priced and easy-to-production characteristics allow them to be quickly produced and equipped for use by the troops.

Compared with the steel pipes on the cannon body that have higher requirements for equipment and the sophisticated rifling technology, the production of rocket launchers is so simple that it can be manufactured by a handicraft workshop.

The bracket used for emission is an ordinary welded steel frame. The launch rails on it do not require any quenching process, and I-shaped rails can be competent.

What's simpler is that these eight I-shaped rails arranged in a row do not use instruments to measure whether they are really parallel. They can be used just by measuring them with a ruler and weld them...

After all, the shooting accuracy of this weapon is very touching, so there is no need to consider the accuracy indicator in manufacturing.

Since the Soviet Union could produce Katyusha rocket launchers on a large scale in adversity, Germany had no reason to be unable to produce similar weapons.

The caliber of the organ rocket launcher is 130 mm, which is similar to the size of the rocket used by the Katyusha rocket launcher in real historical space and time.

Why adopt this caliber? It is not that Li Le, a time traveler, deliberately plagiarized Katyusha, but as a weapon system, it makes sense to choose a caliber.

This is like, whether it is China or the United States, the magazine capacity of assault rifles is basically 30 rounds.

In fact, this is a compromise value that has been finally obtained after countless experiments and arguments. Can I equip magazines with more capacity? Yes! But the gain is not worth the loss!

This is not a game. A 40 or even 50 round drum can provide good support for firepower continuity. Characters holding this type of weapon can still run wildly without blushing or breathing.

After all, in the game, there is no calculation of the reduction in reaction speed caused by the increase in the magazine, nor does it calculate the center of gravity of the weapon, nor does it consider the reliability of the magazine.

During World War II, the Thomson submachine gun equipped by the United States first banned the iconic drum and converted the "Chicago typewriter" into an ordinary submachine gun.

After the end of World War II, time was pushed to the Vietnam War. The US m16 assault rifle used a vertical magazine of 20 rounds; the Soviet Union, which advocated force, also developed akm magazine with large loads for soldiers during the Cold War.

As a result, both the battle-hardened US and the fierce Russians were making repeated choices and returning to the origin of the 30-round magazine!

Before these magazine aliens were born, the world's first assault rifle, the German stg-44 assault rifle, used the 32-round magazine that was closest to the truth, to supply ammunition...

The caliber of the artillery is the same. Why do large-caliber guns choose 155mm as the limit? Why do modern tank guns hover between 120 and 125?

This is the same as choosing the caliber of a self-propelled multi-barrel rocket launcher at around 130: the limit of manual loading is almost the same size!

The maximum caliber of the ammunition for integrated ammunition is between 120 and 135. If it is large, it will seriously affect the loading efficiency.

The same choice is not that the larger the caliber, the more reasonable it makes. It has an interval value, and you can only choose the appropriate caliber in this interval.

For example, in real historical space and time, German tank guns with a caliber of 88 mm can even fire more than 15 rounds per minute.

The Stalin 2 tank, which uses a 122mm caliber tank gun, has a speed of fire that is often limited to 2-3 rounds per minute.

The loading of rockets is also the same: because the assembly structure cannot be adopted, the rocket artillery shells must be integrated. If the bullet body is too large, one person cannot complete the loading, and can only rely on lifting or equipped with more personnel.

In this way, the time for launch after loading is greatly extended, and the firepower pouring ability per unit time is reduced accordingly.

To give the simplest example, the Gustav Railway Cannon with a caliber of 800mm can only fire one shell in one hour, while a 283mm caliber K5 train cannon can fire more than 15 shells in one hour. In terms of firepower delivery capabilities, the K5 train cannon has a higher cost-effectiveness.

It is also because of this that the rockets of the German organ rocket launcher are similar to those of the Katyusha rocket launcher.

Carrying rocket shells of about the same length as their thighs, the German artillery carefully hung these shells at the rear of the launch vehicle and the ends of the I-shaped tracks.

Then, they have to connect the disposable power-up device to these rockets so that these rockets can be fired out in one go.

The slender I-shaped rails can ensure that these rockets fly in one direction and ensure an approximate firing speed.

As for accurately hitting the target, there is no need for dense rocket launchers to cover the entire target area, which can effectively attack the enemy's live forces scattered in the target area.

Soon, all the 16 rockets here were loaded. And after one car was loaded, it often means that other launch vehicles were about to be loaded.

"Prepare it! Enter the next launch position!" Climbing up his command car, the battalion leader of the rocket launcher battalion shouted loudly to all the vehicles parked on the roadside.

As the car was started, the roar of the engine overshadowed the sound of people talking and chatting. A convoy began to move along the highway and stopped until the wheat field in the distance.

The gunners began to slightly adjust the angle of the rocket launcher to make the final preparations before launch. After a busy period, the entire launch site suddenly became quiet again.

It was just the final preparation before launch, everyone returned to their respective cars and waited for the final launch order. ——
