Quality & Specialiezd & Faith
In many wars and movies and TV shows, we can see that many ammunition is loaded with wooden boxes, but this is still in practice when thermal weapons are just beginning to prevail. In fact, this is only a superficial situation. It is only the outer packing of ammunition. In fact, there is a layer of packaging. It adopts the method of iron box and seals the ammunition in the same way as tin can.
However, the hardness of the iron box is very well sealed. Why do we need to pack it outside with a wooden box? This is because the ammunition is required to transport, and in this process of handling, the ammunition is very easy to collide, which will cause the deformation of the ammunition itself. If the collision happens sparks, it will increase the risk.
If wood box is used, it has enough thickness first, it will be very safe, and it will be cheaper in terms of cost. So the army is naturally willing to use this kind of wood and iron together. Because in the reduction of costs, it is also possible to ensure that the bullets in the ammunition box are stored safely for fifty years, which is also between the basic storage of bullets. During this period, whenever the box is opened, the bullets will be brand new and can be used in combat immediately.
In China, not only will there be a wooden box outside, with iron cans in it, but also parcels of ammunition stored in oil paper. A rectangular oil paper similar to the width of the palm can usually wrap fifteen to twenty rounds of different caliber. Of course, we only talk about rifle bullets.
However, to the present, the economic strength of the country is constantly improving, and every kind of technology will undergo unimaginable changes every day. At the same time, people’s awareness of protection for nature and forests is increasing. Therefore, the outer reinforcement of wooden boxes has begun to disappear from the army slowly. Now the army is using an engineering plastic material box instead of using it all the time. A lot of wooden boxes. This quantity box is about the same size as the suitcase, which is very convenient for people’s daily transportation and extraction. A box like this can hold up to one thousand and five hundred rounds.
There is also a need to say more. The reason why a small box can drop so many bullets is to thank the United States. Because when the country’s M16 rifle came out, the bullets it used began to decrease in caliber, which directly led to the changes in bullets in the world, so that the one thousand and five hundred bullets could be loaded into a small suitcase.
