The Soviet four-barreled aircraft machine gun GShG 7.62 was modified to combat kamikaze boats. Now it can be installed on warships and any transport – from buggies to heavy vehicles.
The main innovation is the electric drive. Previously, the machine gun ran on a gas engine and overheated after 8 seconds of continuous firing. Russian engineer Igor Vasiliev came up with the idea of replacing the gas engine with an electric one. Now you can arbitrarily change the tempo – from 5 to 100 shots per second. This increased the time of continuous operation.
During field tests, the machine gun was installed on a boat. Tested in action while the ship was moving and pitching. The weapon easily hit a meter-long target from a distance of 150–200 meters.
