Type 53 7.62 mm heavy machine gun, with fierce firepower!

Type 53 7.62 mm heavy machine gun In the war, China's Type 53 7.62 mm heavy machine gun can be said to show its talents, not only because it is the first machine gun among "China people" products, but also because of its excellent performance. Because it is a medium-sized machine gun that imitates SG43 of the former Soviet Union, its reliability is really excellent. It can adapt to the border areas of China and India with high altitude and lack of oxygen, and it can also adapt to the mountainous areas of Vietnam in the tropical rain forest with high reliability.

The gun has a diameter of 7.62 mm, a total length of 1700 mm and a weight of about 40 kg. The maximum firing rate can reach 700 rounds per minute, and the effective range is 1000 meters. 7.62X54 mm bullet fired. It adopts the principle of air conduction automation, the offset locking mechanism of the gun, and the secondary ammunition supply, which can implement long and short shots.

Domestic 53-type 7.62 mm heavy machine gun is supplied by magazine chain, with a magazine capacity of 250 rounds. However, its chain supply mechanism is an uncommon chain, which has its unique advantages compared with the independent combination chain.

First of all, its ammunition container is not a magazine, but a chain. Its specific working principle is to use the elasticity of the bullet chain to hold the bullet tightly, and then under the action of the bullet conveying mechanism, the bullet chain moves in turn, thus conveying the bullet to the position of the bullet entrance and waiting for the next action.

Furthermore, it also has a very distinctive foreign feature. Its unbreakable elastic chain is fixedly connected by screws and steel wires, thus becoming an inseparable fixed elastic chain, which is very different from detachable elastic chain and combined elastic chain. However, the advantage of this kind of bullet chain lies in carrying, keeping and recycling, so the light and heavy machine guns used by infantry use more inseparable bullet chains.

It played an important role in many wars. The good mechanical properties of weapons, coupled with strong firing rate, have brought great spiritual shock to countless enemies. Even a timid enemy will immediately get nervous when he hears the roar of type 53. In the 1962 self-defense counterattack against India, in order to prevent the Indian army from trying to escape, our army set up two Type 53 heavy machine guns on the favorable terrain 1000 meters away from the enemy, which formed an absolute firepower advantage.

1more than 40 Indian troops were afraid to move, which bought time for our mortars to occupy positions. Finally, when cleaning the battlefield, it was found that more than 30 of the dead enemies were hit by Type 53 heavy machine guns, which shows the super lethality of Type 53.

In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam, Type 53 heavy machine guns showed great power. The Vietnamese People's Army 1972 spring offensive wiped out 3,700 people within 10 day, of which 80% were light weapons casualties, and 53 heavy machine guns accounted for 50% of light weapons casualties. Many people who have seen the power of Type 53 say that they can feel its power when they hear this violent gunshot, which makes people tremble and want to get into the ground.

The advantage of this kind of gun is most obvious in defensive operations, because the machine gun is equipped with protection, and the gunman's survival coefficient on the battlefield is high. And the firepower is super fierce. When the fire blocks the enemy's attack, the machine gun, like a lawn mower, makes the enemy in front fall in rows. However, this heavy machine gun has been removed from the army and replaced by a lighter, more flexible and more versatile general machine gun.
