Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1457: Civil War among Superhumans
In the complex situation of modern warfare, the design and performance of weapons and equipment, the equipment configuration of soldiers, and tactical confrontation on the battlefield have all become key factors in determining victory or defeat.

In the past, the trigger and handle positions of some firearms were not designed reasonably. Soldiers often needed to twist their bodies or adjust their postures in order to accurately pull the trigger and hold the firearm stably. This not only affected the accuracy of shooting, but also increased the fatigue of soldiers during long-term combat.

Now, the trigger and handle have been moved to the top. This design adjustment is not made casually, but is the result of a lot of ergonomic research and testing.

Ergonomics experts have collected massive amounts of data by simulating soldiers' operating movements in various combat postures.

They found that placing the trigger and grip up top puts the soldier's arm and wrist in a more natural, comfortable position.

When a soldier is crawling, he no longer needs to raise his arm to reach the trigger. He can complete the shooting action with just a light hook of his finger. When standing and shooting, this design also allows soldiers to better maintain their body balance and reduce the impact of recoil on the body.

This makes it more convenient and comfortable for soldiers to operate, and the accuracy and speed of shooting are significantly improved.

In addition to improvements in weapon design, ammunition supply is also an important link on the battlefield.

Each ammunition box is carefully designed, with 4000 rounds of M59 ordinary bullets neatly arranged inside.

The M59 is a type of ammunition widely used in a variety of weapons. It is mainly used in the M14 rifle, M60 machine gun and M219 machine gun.

This ammunition uses a steel core design and has no identifying marks on the bullet tip. Its unique design makes it have excellent performance in both penetration and lethality.

For soldiers, an adequate supply of ammunition means they can keep firing longer in combat.

In fierce firefights, insufficient ammunition is often one of the important reasons for combat failure.

Now, with the guarantee of these 4000 rounds of M59 ordinary bullets, soldiers can deal with enemy attacks more calmly without having to frequently replace ammunition boxes, so they can focus more on the battle itself.

Moreover, in order to further enhance the soldiers' ammunition carrying capacity, each demon soldier also carries a special ammunition backpack.

This ammunition backpack is made of high-strength lightweight material, which ensures sufficient carrying capacity without adding excessive burden to soldiers.

The interior of the backpack is designed with reasonable partitions and fixings, and can accommodate two ammunition boxes.

When soldiers move quickly on the battlefield, the ammunition boxes can be firmly fixed in the backpack and will not be affected by shaking.

In this way, the soldiers' ammunition supply during combat was fully guaranteed.

Even when facing large-scale enemies, they can rely on sufficient ammunition to continuously suppress fire and calmly deal with various emergencies.

The improvement of this ammunition supply system has greatly enhanced the soldiers' survivability and combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

The British soldiers quickly rushed out of the armored troop carrier.

Although these soldiers have been transformed and strengthened by supernatural powers, they still maintain strict military qualities and discipline.

Through long-term military training, they learned how to act quickly and orderly in combat.

They quickly formed a battle formation and divided into small groups.

Each group is led by experienced commanders who not only possess outstanding combat skills but also have keen battlefield insight and excellent command ability.

In battle, they were able to adjust the team's action plan in a timely manner according to the enemy's dynamics and changes in the battlefield situation, ensuring that each soldier could exert his maximum combat effectiveness. The teams cooperated with each other to form an organic whole.

Some groups are responsible for frontal attacks, suppressing the enemy with powerful firepower; some groups outflanking from the side to cut off the enemy's retreat; and some groups are responsible for providing fire support and cover to ensure the safety of the attacking group.

This close coordination and joint combat capability makes the soldiers of Great Britain like a sharp dagger on the battlefield, able to quickly penetrate into the enemy's heart.

And their opponents, the mercenaries, are no pushovers either.

The mercenaries are basically equipped with vehicle-mounted M-2HB machine guns, which is one of the most powerful vehicle-mounted machine guns on the Sherman tank.

In order to enhance the heat dissipation performance of the machine gun, a heat dissipation muzzle is installed on the barrel, and its shape is similar to Barrett's flash hider.

The M-2HB machine gun fires 12.7×99mm large-caliber bullets, which are extremely powerful.

When it fires M2 conventional bullets, the maximum range can reach 2500 meters, and it has a huge killing power within a flat range of 1800 meters.

On the battlefield, once this machine gun opens fire, the gushing firepower is like a fire dragon, instantly covering all targets in front.

When hitting living targets on the battlefield, the effect is extremely cruel.

Once it bounces off, the powerful impact and penetrating power can tear a person in half.

In the movie "Rambo 4: First Blood", Rambo operated the M-2HB anti-aircraft machine gun, and the continuous firepower spurted out, instantly tearing the Burmese army in half.

The enormous power of the M-2HB machine gun made it a human "harvester" on the battlefield, making the enemy terrified.

The mercenary leader was holding a KPV heavy machine gun, which had a caliber of 14.5 mm and was almost twice as powerful as the M2HB. It was even more powerful than the Soviet Army's main 2mm Shkas aviation cannon during World War II.

When the KPV heavy machine gun opens fire, the deafening roar sounds like the roar of death, and every bullet carries the power to destroy everything.

Both sides are superhuman, but their essence is still flesh and blood, and they belong to carbon-based life.

Therefore, when fighting broke out, they still had to avoid enemy gunfire.

After all, no amount of bulletproof vest will help against such a large-caliber weapon.

At present, the most authoritative protection standard for bulletproof vests is the American NIJ standard.

Level III bulletproof vests can resist high-speed rifle bullets, such as 7.62×51 mm NATO ordinary bullets, but the prerequisite is that hard bulletproof plates must be used, usually made of steel or ceramic.

This type of bulletproof vest can reduce the impact of bullets to a certain extent, but its protective effect is greatly reduced for some large-caliber, high-kinetic energy bullets.

Level IV is the highest level of protection and can withstand .30-06 M2 armor-piercing (AP) bullets, but ceramic or composite plates must also be used.

However, even level IV body armor is difficult to guarantee that it will not be completely penetrated when facing continuous shooting from the high-speed, high-kinetic energy bullets of the M134 Gatling machine gun.
