The World's Only Titanium Machine Gun

Jan 21, 2022

The reason why the Type 02 anti-aircraft machine gun can greatly reduce the weight of the whole gun is mainly due to the use of a large number of aluminum alloy and titanium alloy materials. This is the world's first titanium alloy machine gun, and it is also the only titanium alloy in the world so far. Large-caliber machine gun. Many domestic media and military fans are talking about some titanium alloy weapons in Europe and America, such as the US-made M777 155mm ultra-light howitzer. In fact, the history of Chinese weapons playing titanium alloy is not much later than that of Europe and the United States. As early as the 1980s, China uses titanium alloys and has developed 60/82/100mm mortars, which are equipped with airborne troops. Among them, the 80-type 100mm mortars using TA7 titanium alloy materials have a total weight of only 52 kg, which can be decomposed later. , with three soldiers on their backs and leaving, greatly enhancing the firepower of the airborne infantry regiment. The same is true of the Type 02 machine gun. As the world's only large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun made of titanium alloy, the whole gun weighs only 73 kg and can be decomposed into 6 parts. The machine gun squad consists of 9 people, 6 machine gunners carry machine guns, and 3 ammunition handlers carry magazines.

Also because of the weight reduction, the tripod of the 02 machine gun has poor stability. The designer came up with a wonderful way to let the shooter sit on the machine gun and shoot so that the shooter's weight of about 80 kg naturally becomes part of the weight of the whole gun. To a certain extent Solved the problem that the bracket is unstable. The seated design of the Type 02 14.5mm machine gun allows the shooter to use his own body weight to stabilize the base, reduce vibration and improve accuracy. Aiming through the elevated four-link high-level sight, the only disadvantage of this tripod is that some people worry that the height of the fire line is too high, the body is exposed too much, and it is easy to be injured. In fact, this is a psychological suggestion problem. With the 02-type machine gun with a range of more than 2,000 meters, there is usually no need to worry about the enemy's light weapons counterattack. The shooter can safely shoot outside the range of the infantry's light weapons. Even standing shooting, it will not be affected by the height of the line of fire. cause an increase in casualties.
