Speaking of the new anti-personnel enhanced version of the grenade, it also benefits from the results of improved anti-infantry landmines. Since Bai Yi received the emergency production of anti-infantry mines from the Ordnance Department, Bai Yi immediately invested in the production of this equipment without stopping.

, but it didn’t take long before it had to stop. As for the reason, it was simple and helpless, that is, the iron nails used as killing fillers were used up.

Faced with this situation, Bai Yi was ruthless and prepared steel ball killing projectiles like those in his previous life. Metal projectiles weighing several grams were arranged densely together. Once they exploded, they would be like a meteor shower, killing all the enemies. It was so powerful.

, the effect is obvious, far beyond the comparison of temporary fillings such as nails.

Therefore, Bai Yi worked hard and prepared to upgrade anti-infantry mines to the extreme in one step. However, as the saying goes, the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. When Bai Yi integrated the idea into reality, he discovered that the kind of anti-infantry mines in his previous life

It is so simple that you only need to press a button, and metal pellets are poured out from the machine like beans from a bamboo tube. Under today's circumstances, it turns out to be a technical difficulty that is difficult to overcome.

Not to mention the Baiyun Factory, even the larger Shencheng Arsenal or even the Jincheng Arsenal in the pass cannot manufacture them. In the words of the old fitter Master Lei: "Such small balls must not only have small particles, but also have a smooth surface.

, not only requires superb smelting technology, but also the craftsmanship on the machine tool must be quite exquisite, and more importantly, the mold must withstand high temperatures and not be too small. If this kind of processing can be done by hand, it will be okay, but not

It can easily cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, so it’s really difficult, it’s just too difficult!”

After what Master Lei said, coupled with actual verification, Bai Yi finally discovered that this kind of metal projectile is indeed impossible to achieve at the current level. It is like the ball in the ballpoint pen in the previous life. At that time, China went up to spaceships and down to

Deep sea submarines can be built by oneself.

But such a small ballpoint pen ball cannot be produced, and all needs to be imported. The reason is still that the processing is difficult and the technology is not up to standard. After several years of research, a domestically produced ballpoint pen ball was finally developed.

, today’s metal projectiles are like the ballpoint pen balls of the previous life. They cannot be made by just gritting one’s teeth. It requires a lot of investment, research, and even industrial upgrading to complete.

So I turned around in a big circle and finally returned to the starting point. But the problem is that even the cost of iron nails is not low. Moreover, if the iron nails are used as killing fragments, the weight of the entire anti-infantry mine is a bit heavy. If there are motorcycles and other special equipment,

A motorized army is fine.

But at this time, our army, let alone a motorized one with wheels all over the ground, even a mules and horses with four hooves is a bit reluctant. The mobility of the troops completely relies on the two legs under the body, and this requires

Weapons and equipment must not be too heavy, otherwise they will not be able to be carried. Therefore, the contradiction between increasing lethality and controlling weight is placed in front of Bai Yi.

If other people had encountered this problem, they would have collapsed a long time ago. Fortunately, Bai Yi is an alien who came from the 21st century soul. Similar to the killing structure of prefabricated fragments of this kind of ammunition, he can name seven or eight types without making a draft.

If you want to find a method that is low in cost, simple to manufacture, moderate in weight and not weak in lethality, naturally you can find it at your fingertips.

The method Bai Yi came up with was nothing else. The official scientific name is the semi-prefabricated fragmentation plan. Prefabricated fragments, as the name suggests, are independent individuals such as metal projectiles and nails. When they explode, they form evenly distributed killing fragments in order to increase the size of the fragments.

Killing effectiveness.

Semi-prefabricated fragments are relative to prefabricated fragments. To put it bluntly, this structure is not a separate individual, but a semi-integrated structure that is connected to each other. However, when the charge explodes, this semi-integrated structure will be under high pressure in an instant.

It disintegrates and forms independent individuals that fly around, creating the same killing effect as prefabricated fragments.

The semi-prefabricated fragment material chosen by Boyi is very simple, that is, ordinary steel wires. Then a simple punching machine is used to evenly punch out fixed expansion bulges from the steel wires, and then the processed steel wires are

The charges are evenly stacked on the front of the anti-infantry mine, and when the number reaches a certain level, they are sealed, and an anti-infantry mine is officially completed.

The principle of the new grenade is the same as that of anti-infantry landmines. It is to wrap several circles of semi-prefabricated fragments of stamped steel wire around the outer layer of the charge, and then cover it with an iron shell to form a highly lethal grenade.

This new type of grenade is extremely lethal, compared to the traditional grenades that are commonly equipped today.

Because the killing principle of traditional grenades is to detonate the charge, causing the shell to instantly shatter into scattered fragments, thereby causing damage to the target. Such a grenade is simple and practical, but the problem is that the fragments are not uniform when the shell explodes, and the fragments are

The number is not very large, so the killing power and killing radius are not large.

So some people thought of carving prefabricated grooves on the cast iron shell of the grenade, so that after the charge is detonated, the fragile grooves will be torn apart instantly, and uniform fragments will come out. However, this statement has a good effect.

However, the grooves cannot be carved too densely, otherwise the entire shell will be extremely fragile, and the explosion effect may be counterproductive.

After much deliberation, weapon designers found that imitating prefabricated fragments inside a grenade would have the best effect. It is not only evenly distributed, but also has a small charge, but is much more powerful than traditional grenades. Because of this, in the 1960s,

After the 1990s, almost all hand grenades in various countries have developed in the direction of built-in prefabricated fragments.

The same goes for China. The Type 70 grenade is a wooden-handled grenade with prefabricated fragments inside, while the Type 82 grenade is a dual-purpose offensive and defensive grenade that completely uses steel ball prefabricated fragments.

Bai Yi didn't have the time to develop a brand new grenade. He just modified it from the wooden handle grenade commonly equipped by our army. The weight is slightly larger than the basic type, but the lethality is at least three times higher, but it can't be said.

Because of this, the killing range is not easy to control. If used improperly, it is easy to accidentally injure the thrower. Therefore, although Bai Yi developed this lethality-enhanced version of the grenade, he has not reported it for installation. The reason for this is

That's it.

"So that's what happened, but I think this problem doesn't matter. Since this new grenade has three times the power of traditional grenades, you may need to pay more attention when attacking, but if you are defending or blocking, the powerful new grenade is

Good thing, you must know that our army's artillery configuration is not strong in the first place, and it relies entirely on infantry to kill. If a grenade can once again enhance the firepower of infantry, the significance to our volunteers will be immeasurable...
