"Your Highness, we will go to war with the Russians in the future, right?" Earl Schelling finally held back and said.

"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, we will kill Russia." The prince replied calmly.

"Then why do you spare no effort to help the Russians improve their military level?" Earl Schelling asked again and again.

"Because all this equipment is outdated! Everything we are doing now is to allow Russia to invest limited funds in those outdated equipment! Then let the Russians fight to the death with the Japanese in the Far East with hope!" the prince said with a smile.

"The reason I gave these things to the Russians is because I have something better!" the prince said confidently!

Is it easy to use ordinary heavy machine guns? This thing is indeed easy to use when thrown into the Russo-Japanese War, but in the dawn of War 1, this countless new weapons are about to appear, ordinary machine guns are still enough to deal with infantry. However, whether it is simply reinforced civil bunkers or those big birds flying in the air, ordinary machine guns are not so useful. If the combat vehicles in the Prince's direct army need to be equipped with machine guns, then ordinary machine guns will definitely be just one of the alternatives, not the only one. Even if it is just to deal with various bombers from Britain and France in War 1, a large machine gun needs to be studied. After all, there are also big guys with a maximum take-off weight of 13 tons in War 1!

Now, the first weapon that the prince wants to do, and at the same time, can play a big role in the first battle is the famous Browning M2 12.7mm machine gun in later generations! With this thing, not to mention anything else, at least the British MK series tanks and French Renault and others are not alive! The armor-piercing bullet of the m2 machine gun weighs 46.2 grams, and is fired at an initial velocity of 884 meters per second, piercing 22mm thick armor at a distance of 100 yards! As for the later researched m20 tracer armor-piercing bomb and m8 armor-piercing incendiary bomb, the penetration depth of the m20 tracer armor-piercing incendiary bomb is even higher!

And what is even more commendable is that this machine gun is very light (compared to weapons of the same level) the basic model of the m2 machine gun weighs only 27.7kg (just the body, not the bracket). Even if the heavy barrel is used, the machine gun has good firepower sustainability, it is only 36.7kg. Of course, if the machine gun is added to the machine gun, the weight will increase a lot, and the final weight is about 45kg under empty water. After filling the water, the weight will immediately reach 55kg!

Moreover, this machine gun is completely possible now, and after it is made, it can be used for classic products that have been used for more than 50 years! You can press various chassis on it, put it on the plane and shoot infantry, which is also very good. Don’t you see that most of the weapons of the United States, whether it is fighter jets or bombers in the second battle are Browning M2 machine guns, some of which are just changed their names or barrels, and they are almost changed without any medicine!

The m2 machine gun that adopts the principles of short recoil and closed boring and waiting to be hit has good accuracy. When facing a single target, the effective shooting distance is about 1.5 kilometers. The surface target is about 1.8 kilometers. Unlike ordinary 7.92mm level machine guns that can only perform suppression shooting outside of kilometers, the m2 machine gun can still maintain a relatively stable dispersion of about 2 kilometers. It may not work when a sniper rifle, but relying on good dispersion, it can still effectively kill the target by shooting at a short point! It can be said that the effective range of this weapon is much stronger than the existing 7.92mm machine gun!

(During the Vietnam War, it is said that a sniper named Klos Heskak used an M2 50 machine gun with an ul10* scope to kill his opponent 2286 meters away...)

Is there any problem with this weapon? There are still some problems with this. The biggest problem is that the initial models cannot quickly change the barrel, which makes the m2hb machine gun with heavy barrels overheat after continuous shooting. Is the machine gun? Why do you use discontinuous shooting? It is not a machine cannon! So from this perspective, the m2 machine gun is slightly flawed. In addition, the structure is a bit complicated and maintenance is difficult.

However, in this plane, the prince will naturally quickly change the ace skill of the German machine gun and transplant it to the m2 machine gun. As for structural issues, there is no need to make major changes. After all, the United States claims to be the first in technology and has not moved the basic system of the m2 machine gun for more than 50 years. This completely shows that the m2 machine gun is indeed not easy to make major changes. Moreover, the m2 machine gun has been used as an aviation machine gun and can be used normally at high altitudes and low positions and high overloads, which means that the stability is not good. The prince was afraid that he would make it unrecognizable if he had a few files on it...

In addition to excellent performance, the most important reason why the prince decided to develop an m2 machine gun is that it is very suitable for the needs of the battlefield. There are many good weapons in the world, and a single-wing aircraft is good, but it is not suitable for use before the first battle because the engine is too coffee table and the lifting force of the aircraft is not enough, so you can only use double wings and three wings to ensure buoyancy!

First of all, this machine gun is very suitable for the use of the Bavarian army on the Eastern Front. The Russians are poor, and rifles and bullet production cannot be guaranteed to be sufficient. Naturally, there will be no so many building materials to build a solid bunker! Moreover, after rushing through Poland, the Russian army has been retreating. They have no time to build a solid front. With the penetration ability of the m2 machine gun, most of the firepower points can be completely destroyed. A simple sandbag and civil offensive will still be penetrated when facing the continuous shooting of the m2 machine gun. This thing can even replace small artillery and complex firepower points when covering the attack of the troops.

On the Western Front, although these m2 machine guns have limited effect on the defense line that Britain and France have reinforced for several years, this machine gun is very troublesome and even fatal to any tank of the same era in history! You should know that the tank armor at that time was almost all tied together, and even if it was theoretically impossible to penetrate, it would still lead to cracks. What's more, it seems that Britain and France did not have particularly strong tanks at that time, right? If a tungsten carbide core bullet or hardened steel core bullet, it would be no problem to penetrate British and French tanks. Moreover, the extremely excellent long-range accuracy of this machine gun itself allows them to be deployed behind the front line, which has a great advantage when firing against the opponent's machine gun! After all, whether in terms of long-range accuracy or power, the advantage of the m2 machine gun is too great!

In addition, this machine gun is also very good if it is an anti-aircraft weapon. You should know that there are no 20mm-level anti-aircraft guns in the first battle, because according to the 1899 The Hague International Convention, the weight of the explosion shells cannot be less than 400 grams, so the smallest artillery can only be 37mm. No countries can develop 20mm-level artillery guns. Obviously, Bavaria cannot break the common provisions of this agreement. Since artillery cannot be done, then I didn’t say that machine guns cannot be done? The 50 machine gun can make up for the fire gap between the 7.92mm machine gun and the 37-level artillery!
