How the heartless gun works

The working principle of the heartless cannon is actually very simple. It is basically the same as the mortar.

Since the heartless gun is a weapon that was developed and manufactured by the People's Liberation Army during its war practice, it has not had a standardized name from beginning to end. It uses a smoothbore method to shoot at a large elevation angle, and at the same time, it relies on the ground to withstand and absorb the huge recoil. But the difference is that the caliber of the torpedo is much larger than that of the mortar. At that time, the caliber of the conscience-less guns used was generally above 300 mm.

The weight of the explosive packets fired is also much higher than that of mortar shells. The explosive packets of heartless cannons are generally more than 10 kilograms, and even more than 20 kilograms. The only drawback is that the heartless cannon has a slightly shorter range, only two to three hundred meters away. The heartless cannon is similar to the two-kick firecrackers we played with when we were children, that is, it uses reaction force to launch.

The structure of the heartless cannon

It is divided into 4 parts. One is the launch barrel, which can be made of thick wood. Of course, a gasoline barrel is best. One is propellant, which generally uses black powder. One is the isolation plate, which is used to isolate propellant and explosive packets. The last one is, of course, the torpedo shells used to projectile bombardment of enemies, packed with explosives. After placing the propellant isolation plate and explosive package into the barrel, drill holes at the location of the propellant and install a fuse to ignite the propellant.

After the fuse is lit, the projectile explodes. The power of the explosion is used to launch a 12-kilogram explosive package from the projectile tube and hit the enemy's position in a parabola. Because the explosive package is very large, even more than 20 kilograms, after such an explosive package explodes on the enemy's position, it has a very large range of damage. Fortifications within a radius of 10 meters can be destroyed, and enemies within 20 meters are basically either killed or killed. hurt.
