Chapter 502: Shock (Part 2)
"The M16's performance has reached its limit. Even if Qi Sha is more powerful, it can't surpass that limit. However, although the R7 is disappointing, at least I saw Qi Sha in person, so it's not a wasted trip."
Everyone was whispering in the commentary booth, and when Thomson heard these words, the smile on his face became even more proud.
He crossed his arms and looked at Ruan Qi on the commentary stand as if he was watching a show, waiting for her and Solomon to be crushed by BC and unable to recover.
Ruan Qi naturally heard everyone's comments on R7.
She didn't get angry, but slowly pressed the remote control again. The image on the big screen flashed, and a picture of metal appeared on the screen.
"Over a month ago, I discovered a metal in a mine in YL Country. This metal is quite rare. Compared to the materials commonly used to make heavy machine guns, this rare metal weighs very little, but it is very hard."
As Ruan Qi finished speaking, detailed data of this rare metal appeared on the big screen.
"I conducted a multi-faceted decomposition study of this rare metal and ultimately discovered that it is highly suitable for the manufacture of heavy machine guns. It can significantly reduce the weight of heavy machine guns."
Rare metals, reduced machine gun weight, new manufacturing materials, these words gradually made everyone's nonchalant expressions disappear.
Everyone vaguely realized that Solomon's R7 seemed different from what they had imagined.
Ruan Qi explained rare metals for a few minutes, and then the big screen turned to the next page.
R7 performance template.
Ruan Qi pressed the remote control, and the first performance data appeared on the template—
Machine gun weight: 24.9 kg.
As we all know, machine guns weighing more than 25 kilograms are called heavy machine guns. Most heavy machine guns weigh around 30 kilograms.
The R7 weighs 24.9 kg, which is very light for a heavy machine gun.
However, the BC-made M16 weighs 24 kg.
With the M16 as a good example, the R7's 24.9 kg is not impressive enough.
Everyone was a little disappointed.
Ruan Qi didn't explain much and continued to press the remote control.
The second data appears on the R7 performance template:
Lethality distance: Using ordinary bullets, the maximum lethality distance is 3500 meters.
Using special bullets, the maximum distance is 6000 meters.
As soon as this data came out, the whole audience exploded with a loud bang.
Everyone's face showed shock.
"Is this true? The R7's lethality can reach 6,000 meters? Isn't the limit of a heavy machine gun 5,000 meters?!"
"Oh no! I don't believe it! The lethality limit of 6,000 meters is inhumane!"
"I don't believe it either! With current technology, it's impossible to reach 6,000 meters!"
"I need proof! I want to see the R7 in action!"
When using ordinary bullets, the lethality limit of heavy machine guns is generally within 3,000 meters. When using special bullets, the range is extended to 5,000 meters.
The data of R7 has clearly surpassed the technological limits.
No one could believe it.
Ruan Qi didn't explain much and just pressed the remote control.
A video of the R7's actual performance test appeared on the big screen.
In the video, ordinary bullets shot out from the barrel of the R7 at high speed, and the sandbag wall 3,500 meters away was shattered in an instant.
The sky was filled with dust and the roar was deafening.
The hearts of all the guests in the exhibition hall began to beat wildly!
All this turned out to be true.
Solomon's R7 actually broke through the limit!
