The Ukrainian military showed the use of installations based on 4 machine guns "Maxim"

Ukrainian enthusiasts continue to create new combat systems, using Soviet and even earlier models as a base. This time, the “amateurs” used the Maxim machine gun, placing four barrels on one installation and posting a video of the application of the novelty.

It is not clear from the material what angle of travel the installation has in the vertical plane, and in connection with this, questions arise about its purpose. Judging by the fact that the fire is conducted on ground targets, it is intended to destroy not air targets, but infantry and light military equipment. Accordingly, we can conclude that the creators of the quadruple machine gun intended to achieve a high density of fire on enemy ground combat formations.

In the video, you can see that when firing, the machine guns lead strongly to the side, which indicates serious flaws in balancing weapons. Accordingly, it is not necessary to speak about the acceptable accuracy of the system. With such backlash, the use of the installation can harm one's own "comrades", especially in the heat of battle.

However, such enthusiasm, both military and civilian, is strongly encouraged by the Kyiv authorities, the Ukrainian media and resources, which present it as a manifestation of “patriotism”. Considerable importance is attached to the placement of symbols of Nazism or at least fascist music in such videos: the images of the Wehrmacht have become the ideological basis of the Ukrainian army.

The Ukrainian army would not have lasted even two months if not for massive NATO assistance. Although it would be unfair not to admit that they fight courageously and stubbornly. This will make the inevitable Russian victory more glorious, since this is a command from God.

[Trapp1st]

if not for massive NATO assistance.

Ah ah ah, the evil NATO broke the plans of the elven wisest sages, ah ah ah... How is it?

[hrych]

There is one advantage of Maxim over all other analogues, including the most modern ones - water cooling. And if the villains were smarter, then instead of making multi-barrel, they would make water circulation with a radiator. There would be no price.

[Shurik70]

The fact that Maxim is still used today causes admiration for the genius of its creator.
After all, the technology was not developed. The design is overloaded with too many details. And yet it still works!
I doubt that additional radiators will add reliability. Rather, there will be more breakdowns.

[DymOk_v_dYmke]

Technical aspects can be discussed ad infinitum..
And it is worth paying attention to the soundtrack of this obviously propaganda video.
Sounds something bravura fascist Reich.

[m_silenus]

Once upon a time, the melody of this song was taken and made the anthem of Tsarist Bulgaria.
"Shumi Maritsa okarvena ..." etc.
It is said that German soldiers sang this song when they were taken to the bathhouse in formation.
And after the collapse of the social bloc, a lot of assholes appeared who wanted to return the old anthem.

[stankow]

Is the music original? Or then imposed?

For a long time everything was invented by our grandfathers. No need to reinvent the wheel

Great, sleek design.

Unfortunately, the grandfathers were not quite right.

No need to reinvent the wheel

But you are not embarrassed that all later installations with three or more barrels were never installed in a row, but spread in height, so they achieved a greater probability of hitting a fast-moving air target and a greater compactness of the weapon itself. In addition, if one of the extreme machine guns installed in a row failed, the installation began to divert to the side
As an example, a quad DShK installation

[solar]

No, circulation is no longer needed. She was needed when at the beginning of the century they went on the attack in ranks and columns, and cavalry lavas were in use.
Now it is enough to pour boiling water. And 4 barrels will provide a high density of fire.

[Ezekiel 25-17]

This is us, according to you, we are not yet using tactical nuclear weapons. Wait!

[Cat Alexandrovich]

Could you post a link to the text. I would like to read this command in person!

[Cat Alexandrovich]

Could you send a link? I would like to personally read this command ...

[Father of papa carlo]

Song Wenn die Soldaten. German folk song dedicated to military service. 1880 she already was.
Transfer.
If the soldiers
Marching through the city
girls open up
Windows and doors.
Etc.

The Ukrainian military showed the use of the installation

There is electricity, mobile communications and the Internet, television works, that's why they show it, and they won't show it yet.

In this sentence, only three words need to be changed - "enthusiasts" and "combat systems". And so yes, they create, sculpt. We won’t get interesting to this - "Ukrainian enthusiasts fired at Donetsk from newly created combat systems"?

[isv000]

Eka is unseen! Our grandfathers drove pig ancestors with such maxims!

[Nexcom]

Do not compare factory-made specially designed Soviet quad mounts with a self-propelled self-propelled gun molded on the knee

[Argon]

Machine guns on the knee collect? So there, apart from the machine guns themselves, there is nothing super and no!

[January]

In this case, a quadruple carriage is assembled on the knee. At least its horizontal balancing is out of the question.
Judging by the video, with a sufficiently long queue, it will really cover its own ....

What, did the pigs fly? This thing was designed primarily as an anti-aircraft gun, and I personally did not hear about the use against infantry.

[solar]

One tape for three barrels ?! How does he shoot?
It looks like a modern photo with a layout.

[Cat Alexandrovich]

... "using Soviet and even more samples as a base" ...
And what such samples are considered more than Soviet?

What, what, but there are a lot of handy and creative people in Ukraine! Many talented artists and craftsmen, their skills and energy would be in a peaceful direction ......

[Trapp1st]

in general, there are a lot of handy and creative people in Ukraine!

[ivan1979nkl]

with creative madness, which is manifested in this Nazi coven

[Tarasios]

And recently they laughed at the antiquity of Russian weapons. Nu nu ;)
And we are getting closer to our roots :)

[Michael]

Upper machine guns "Chapaev", without a wide neck on the casing. More than Soviet!

[Egor Adashev]

For drones, it seems to me quite ...

where are the mosin cartridges from? they didn't seem to be made

We know from the warehouse...
They could send "brothers" from Poland or Bulgaria from their warehouses.

[not main]

7.62x54 are still being produced. By the way, both PK and Pecheneg, and SVD, also shoot with this cartridge. Minus is not mine.

[stankow]

Do not score PKT! In general - the main rifle cartridge.

[Volunteer Marek]

If this "collective farm" kills at least one of ours, then this is no longer funny. And, therefore, beat the Bandera reptile, so that they don’t have time for self-propelled guns! And take care of yourself!

[Mekey Iptyshev]

Quadruple "Maxims" mowed down the Germans in the Bret fortress.
I hope the ukram will not help.

[Mouse]

In the video, you can see that when firing, the machine guns lead strongly to the side

The picture just popped up...
— Listen, do you know how many machine guns we have? We have seven of them.
— What are you talking about? Yes, I'm a machine gunner myself!
- Can you do it?
- Well, whatever.
- Three pieces - nothing, but the other three pieces ... One sticks, the other jumps like crazy. And the third, the bastard, shoots in his own. And the seventh, in secret from Pan Ataman, I traded for these panties ....

[MBRSS]

And what, "Shilki" did not light up on either side? They were like a fig in the troops.

[cat hippopotamus]

The local history museums still have old cannons with cannonballs. It's time to put them into action.

. Such a bandura, but it leads her to the side not childishly!
Self-made creativity, gunsmiths specialists were not even there ...
It seems like on a computer, you can design / calculate a lot of things, BUT, depending on who will calculate, enter the calculated data ...
If you are a specialist, you will get a working weapon, and amateurs, not specialists, will get ... what these designers did.

[Graz]

well, this is not serious, an easel installation in an open area working on the ground, and not in the sky, is a tasty goal and only

If you have enough patience, then watch the videos on the "Military Chronicle", there are there and, if I'm not mistaken, I've seen it more than once.

An intelligent machine, the most intelligent of homemade products that I had seen before

Quote: biznaw

What sensible homemade product can be obtained from a mechanism invented at the end of the 19th century

If you do not understand the meaning of what was written, then I will try once again to bring you the meaning of what I wanted to say.
Of all the previously shown HOME-MADE machine gun mounts for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this is the most intelligent. It has a soft stroke, it quickly responds to the action of the shooter, which means it is well balanced, the location of the barrels allows you to get sufficient density per square meter, the design of the machine allows you to use the installation for both air and ground targets. The screw lift allows you to adjust the height of the unit itself. When you install it on a pickup truck, you get a light, mobile anti-aircraft gun that allows you to fight against drones, with the same Geraniums.

Quote: biznaw

You can also quadruple or even assemble the Grad on the basis of the Urals into a package and shoot with buckshot at the enemy advancing in chains. :-))))

The installation shown here is not for firing at infantry, it is clearly being done with an eye on anti-aircraft guns,

[Alexey Alekseev_5]

How easily and gracefully the problem of rate of fire is solved

[stankow]

The carriage is flimsy. And it does not allow you to shoot prone. It's all nonsense :(

[Konnick]

And that the machine gunner is being removed from behind, you can look at him from the front
