Chapter 671 (2/2)
If this one doesn't break through
Pattiver's thinking stopped here. He watched the shell he fired accurately hit the Soviet tank close at hand. Even he could see several deep pits on the other party's gun shield and car body, which were left by his shooting just now.
This time, the shell with their expectation flew to the target at high speed and hit the armor heavily. Then, the warhead tried to drill forward and drill forward. Suddenly, the front of the head was loose.
It's drilled through!
The warhead drilled in and just rubbed with the turret armor to form a high temperature. At this time, mirokov in the turret seemed to smell the burning smell.
A thin metal melt splashed down with the armor piercing bullet. When it splashed on the gunner, the gunner made a terrible sound.
His pain was not long. The bullet that came in just hit the ammunition behind them. Then, the violent explosion came!
”Boom!” The 76mm shell sent out a violent martyrdom explosion. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas stirred up a piece of flesh and blood in the whole turret in an instant. There was no complete human body in it, all of which turned into the same existence as burnt meat.
The high-pressure gas drilled into the seat ring of the turret, where the seal was not tight, and then the gas began to vent.
From the outside, it can be seen that with a loud noise, the seat ring of the turret emitted hot flames and black smoke. With the explosion, the turret was lifted half a meter high and then fell heavily.
There can't be another living person inside!
Destroyed, finally destroyed!
Pattiver suddenly remembered something and shouted excitedly, ”we can use our tungsten alloy armor piercing bullets to deal with this kind of tank!”
It's not because of the close distance that they pierce the other party. The other party's tanks and armor are quite thick! How thick is it? Definitely more than a hundred millimeters!
Therefore, steel armor piercing bullets cannot penetrate each other, even at zero distance!
Fortunately, in their ammunition, in addition to steel armor piercing shells, there is another kind, tungsten alloy armor piercing shells!
At the time of trial production, this 50mm anti tank gun, when using tungsten alloy armor piercing projectile, has a speed of nearly 1200 meters per second, an effective range of 2700 meters, and can penetrate 120 mm vertical steel plate at 500 meters!
Therefore, tungsten alloy armor piercing projectile is a way to significantly and effectively improve armor piercing ability!
In later generations, armor piercing bombs were almost dominated by tungsten alloy. Better than it, only depleted uranium armor piercing bombs were left.
Armor piercing bullet, hard hitting hard, the higher the strength, the better. The hardness of tungsten alloy is the highest.
However, this armor piercing projectile is not equipped in large quantities, because tungsten alloy is too expensive!
If it were the case in history, Germany would not be extravagant enough to use tungsten alloy to make shells. This is simply a monstrous thing. But now, with the secret excavation of tungsten mines in Austria, Germany can mine 400000 tons of stone and produce 1800 tons of commercial metal tungsten every year.
Therefore, German tank guns began to be equipped with a certain proportion of tungsten alloy armor piercing bullets.
Of course, if it were to support Finland, it should not support tungsten alloy armor piercing shells. However, these shells were not transported from the factory, but eliminated from Germany's own equipment sequence.
When Germany was equipped, one of the six shells in an ammunition box was a tungsten alloy warhead! Experienced Gunners cherish tungsten alloy armor piercing bullets very much. They can only use them when necessary!
