Grenade muzzle number

A rifle hitting a "cannonball" is a Grenade.

In all kinds of movies about police and bandits, when special police officers fight in teams or squads, they often use rifles with a barrel device hanging on them; However, in some war-themed films and TV shows, it is often seen that infantry rely on their rifles to launch a "small warhead" shaped like a rocket and inserted at the muzzle. This kind of super-caliber ammunition, which is used for individual soldiers or small teams and is fired by firearms, is collectively called Grenade.

The war in 2 1 century will be divided into small-scale ground battles by a large number of smaller but more flexible and quick-response teams and teams. In small-scale operations, in order to ensure mobility, there are strict restrictions on personal load. In addition to guns and ammunition, other firepower weapons that can be carried are very limited. But at the same time, in all kinds of complex combat environments, the surface killing of enemy cluster targets can play a more important role in fire suppression than the point killing of rifles. At present, the common personal fire surface killing weapons are grenades, rifle grenades, mortars, individual rocket launchers and individual portable missiles.

Among them, individual rockets or missiles have a large self-weight and are not convenient to carry in large quantities. Take the star products of American individual missiles as an example. The dead weight of missiles (including launchers) in this weapon system is close to 17kg, plus guns, magazines, communication equipment, protective equipment, etc. And it is the limit for each soldier to carry one bullet. Mortars carried by individual soldiers have a range of 1 km to 3 km and are relatively light in weight. For example, the single-shot weight of 63-type 60 mm mortar shells in China is about 1.3kg. As a curved ballistic weapon, mortars play an important role in anti-slope operations, but mortars are usually in groups of 2-3 people, which need to be fired regularly and cannot meet the needs of mobile attacks.

Grenade is a sharp weapon in infantry mobile operations, which is known as "less ammunition is better than more mines", but the throwing distance of Grenade is only 30-40 meters, which is not enough to meet the requirements of fire coverage in the whole line of sight. Grenade is between mortar and Grenade in shooting distance, which makes up the blank area of the latter two. As a repressive conventional weapon, individual hand-held Grenade launchers are lighter and more powerful. It can attack various targets according to different types of bombs, and it has increasingly become an indispensable individual combat weapon for the armies of various countries.

It is worth mentioning that Grenade can be hung on rifles, submachine guns and other guns, so that infantry can master more flexible medium-range attack means. In the case that it is not suitable to use high-power firepower to suppress local conflicts, counter-terrorism and violence, Grenade can also assume the role of "universal oil". A few days ago, the grenade has achieved "one bomb with multiple functions" integrating killing, armor piercing, arson, smoke generation and lighting. In case of emergency, it is no longer necessary to replace ammunition for temporary response, which not only reduces the pressure of ammunition logistics support, but also improves the survival probability of soldiers and their ability to complete various combat tasks independently.

In addition, different types of rifle grenades have different ranges, and the range of gun-mounted Grenade launchers is close. For example, the 38mm gun-mounted anti-riot Grenade launcher installed on the 95 rifle in China emphasizes short-range suppression, with a range of about100 m; Combat rifle grenades emphasize preemptive strike, so increasing the range has become the development direction of military rifle grenades. In the past, the range of an ordinary 40mm rifle Grenade was between 260-400m, but after adopting the extended range technology, the range can reach 600-650m, which can play a more effective suppression role.

In modern wars, especially urban street fighting, the battlefield is jagged and the situation is changing rapidly. Various advanced weapons with high mobility, great destructive power and good protection are frequently used, and a large number of protective equipment such as infantry fighting vehicles and armed direct starters are put into the battlefield. Many occasions also require infantry to have certain attack ability. Infantry equipped with Grenade can kill exposed cluster effective forces as well as light chariots and simple fortifications. It can be both curved and direct, realizing the combined killing of individual firepower, suppressing firepower and killing accurately. It has effectively improved the individual's firepower confrontation ability, suppression ability, continuous combat ability and rapid response ability, and has become a "red man" in the eyes of infantry.
