Russian military personnel have reworked the design of the famous GShG 7.62 heavy machine gun and adapted it to modern UAV combat tasks. The gun has retained its high reliability and density of fire.
A fighter with the call sign Kochevnik reworked the original design, replacing some assemblies and abandoning the gas exhaust scheme in favor of an electric drive, thereby simplifying the mechanism and reducing the rate of fire to a useful level.
The GShG 7.62 machine gun was originally created for the Mi 24 attack helicopter. It uses the same cartridge as the PKM with a rotating block of four barrels with adjustable rate of fire. For decades, samples lay in warehouses, and now they have attracted the interest of enthusiasts.
The reworked GShG performs well as a heavy weapon — high density of fire and the use of a standard cartridge make it suitable for defeating low-flying helicopters, drones, and lightly protected targets. This niche is especially relevant with the increasing threats from UAVs.
Earlier www1.ru reported that an unusual and cheap weapon was found against drones.
