Infantry combat weapon - NSV heavy machine gun

On the battlefield, the heavy machine gun is undoubtedly a great threat. It is not only highly lethal, but also provides continuous firepower delivery to ensure absolute firepower advantage. And its existence will also speed up the process of the war, so snipers will even be sent to protect the gunners in both camps, which shows how important it is in a war. In the 1970s, the Soviet Union developed an NSV heavy machine gun with excellent shaping performance.

This machine gun was used to replace the Soviet DShK heavy machine gun. Due to its excellent overall performance and innovation in some aspects, it was very popular among the members of the Warsaw Pact and was widely used as a A general-purpose large-caliber machine gun for infantry, which can compete with the Browning M2 heavy machine gun widely used in the West. Some NATO members even recommended and tried NSV to replace the old M2.

The gun has a caliber of 12.7 mm, a total gun length of 1560 mm, a total gun weight of 25 kg, a combat rate of fire of 750 rounds/min, and an effective range of 2000 meters. The gun adopts the gas-guided principle and uses a piston to drive the bolt frame. It can be manufactured to feed ammunition from the left or the right according to combat needs.

In addition, it adopts a unique bolt offset locking mechanism, which can be said to be a very comprehensive weapon. When installed on the tank turret, it serves as the commander's machine gun, and when mounted on a tripod, it serves as heavy fire support. The weapon has become a weapon for infantry combat, and it is also used for air defense. In terms of overall performance, it is currently the best weapon of its kind.

Because the machine gun adopts stamping processing and riveting assembly processes, not only the structure is simplified, but the weight of the entire gun is also reduced, and the production performance is also better. When used in harsh conditions, NSV is more reliable than DShKME. It can attack infantry groups, firepower points, light armored vehicles and various transport vehicles within a range of 2000 meters. It can also be used as a short-range air defense weapon against oblique distances within 1500 meters. low-altitude flying targets.

Its caliber is 12.7mm, which is the second largest caliber machine gun in the Soviet army. Therefore, this gun can be said to have a unique advantage in terms of power. Once this kind of bullet hits the enemy, it will Even if the enemy does not die on the spot, he will be seriously injured or even permanently disabled, which cannot be cured. From this point of view alone, the power displayed by this heavy machine gun is already jaw-dropping.

Its destructive power is something that many people cannot imagine. If two or three people stand side by side, they can be killed with one bullet within its effective range. Kill them all.

Many weapons cannot achieve this, and the only ones that can achieve this are the more traditional anti-material sniper rifles, but in terms of rate of fire, it is even more unmatched by sniper rifles. Advantages.

So its importance is self-evident. However, because it is relatively large and its weight is not something that one or two people can bear, it needs to be transported at least Several machine gunners helped move it.
