Although the new slow-firing electromagnetic rifles were quickly distributed to the troops and quickly demonstrated their effect in reducing ammunition consumption, Chen Xin was evidently not satisfied with just that.
The bullets saved by reducing the firing rate of electromagnetic rifles are mainly those fired when soldiers hold the trigger without letting go. Seasoned veterans or sufficiently experienced soldiers tend to set the firing rate to three-round bursts to conserve ammunition.
Therefore, although the large number of new electromagnetic rifles quickly reduced ammunition consumption after being equipped, the overall reduction still accounts for a relatively small proportion of total logistical consumption.
Compared to the thousands of tons of ammunition fired every minute across the entire frontline, saving one or two bullets with each shot indeed seems insignificant.
Therefore, Chen Xin quickly turned his attention to other areas.
