Russian experts marvel: China's coil gun can fire 2000 bullets per minute!

Bullets cost only a few cents each, and there is no hesitation when firing.

On May 27, Russian media published an expert article.

China continues to develop its weapons technology and has introduced a new coil gun (electromagnetic gun) that can fire 2000 bullets per minute.

This achievement may change the way electromagnetic weapons are manufactured and used. Unlike traditional models, it uses lithium-ion batteries to power the electromagnetic coils, achieving high-speed firing.

Russian experts cited reports from China Central Television: The Southern Industrial Group of China (CSGC) recently demonstrated this electromagnetic gun. The prototype has passed testing and can produce 2000 bullets per minute. This greatly surpasses the capability of traditional guns like the AK-47—approximately 600 rounds per minute.

Russian experts pointed out: Without using gunpowder, electromagnetic coils accelerate the bullets to high speed. This makes it more efficient and safer to operate.

The design of the new weapon includes 20 copper coils, each 20 millimeters long, in a barn configuration. This allows continuous firing, which was a limitation for previous models of coil guns.

Developers noted that high-speed firepower can effectively suppress threats and control situations during riots; one female soldier with one gun can block a street.

Russian experts believe: Although the current model is not yet ready for combat conditions, experts are confident that as battery capacity increases and further improvements are made, coil guns will become lethal weapons on the battlefield.

Russian experts say: The advent of electromagnetic guns is likely to have a profound impact on future warfighting patterns. China could take a leading role in next-generation small arms.

Most Russian netizens are skeptical.
