The m1860 Henry rifle is the world's first widely used rifle that uses metal cartridge cases. Even the bullets it uses are, in the eyes of later generations, the standard for pistols.
But he is still number one!
"This is...a Henry rifle!"
The gun shop owner understood immediately.
"Henry rifle?"
The gun shop owner's face was full of smiles.
"Sir, it's a coincidence that you came here. I just got a batch of Henry rifles here, but they... are very expensive!"
Henry 1860!
The moment the gun shop owner took out his rifle, Zhu Xianhai recognized it. It wasn't because he was in Red Dead Redemption and it was so fun to use this guy to hit people in the game.
It’s because of the memories that are integrated into one’s mind! This is the benefit of the system!
Compared with the muzzle-loading guns of this era, the Henry 1860 is a quick-loading rifle. It was designed and invented by New York inventor Walter Hunt in 1848. What is different from the muzzle-loading gun is that the tubular bullet under the barrel
The magazine can load up to 16 bullets at a time.
This lever-action rifle is the earliest lever-action rifle, the father of the famous Winchester lever-action rifle.
Although its bullets are not very powerful, they are enough to deal with the most dangerous enemies with its rapid and continuous close range shooting.
That’s it!
It fires .44 rimfire bullets, metal fixed-loading bullets, which are easy to load and can hold more than a dozen bullets in the tube.
It has a fast rate of fire and high accuracy. It is used for self-defense. Except that the gun is a little bigger and the bullet power is a little less powerful, it has no other shortcomings. After all, it is a rifle that conquered the West.
If I have to say it has any shortcomings, it's just that it's a bit expensive.
However, is money more important than life?
"How much does one cost?"
"Sir, this one costs 60 pesos."
The gun shop owner emphasized specifically.
The Argentine peso of 1860 is not a piece of waste paper in the 21st century. Its specifications are similar to the Mexican silver dollar, with a diameter of 39 mm, a weight of 27.07 grams, and a fineness of 95.30%. It is equivalent to the US dollar!
60 pesos is really not cheap! A Remington revolver only costs 17 pesos!
Of course, these are all increased prices, and the ones sold here are definitely not as cheap as in the United States.
"I want this!"
Zhu Xianhai said.
"What bullet did he use? The kind of bullet with a metal shell?"
"Is this what you're talking about?"
I saw him take out a cardboard box from under the counter, and opened it to reveal a box of bullets.
The bullet's shell is not yellow, but made of copper.
"This, this is the metal cartridge case!"
Looking at the box of copper-cased bullets in surprise, Zhu Xianhai asked.
"What gun is it for?"
"Bring me three...no, four revolvers, two Henry rifles, plus twenty boxes of ammunition."
Because there are no integrated metal bullets, the pistol needs to be equipped with a few more pistols. Now Zhu Xianhai finally figured out why cowboys carry two pistols.
Without him, the only way to win is firepower.
However, even with such a few guns, how can they fight against the entire army.
If there was a Maxim, I guess it would be about the same.
Thinking of the rebellion that would happen in the future and what would happen to him, Zhu Xianhai frowned and his mood immediately became a little dull.
This is not easy to handle!
Mark Mi, this really doesn’t exist...
…
As soon as he got home, Zhu Xianhai ran to the backyard.
There is only one thing that matters most right now, and that is shooting practice.
Thanks to the reward after the last simulation, he had gained primary shooting skills in his brain. The moment he picked up the pistol, shooting-related instincts naturally emerged in his mind.
"Da da……"
The palm of his left hand continued to press the hammer, and his right hand held the gun and pulled the trigger... At this moment, he seemed to transform into a cowboy who was proficient in shooting.
Even though he was shooting with an empty gun, his movements were so skillful that he didn't even believe it.
"This...I can actually shoot?"
Looking at the Remington revolver in his hand, Zhu Xianhai felt a little incredulous. After thinking about it, he suddenly raised his hand and fired a shot at the branch in the distance.
"boom!"
Gunshots, branches falling!
He looked at the revolver in his hand and the branch that fell on the ground, feeling a little excited.
Although he didn't know how this skill was transmitted to his mind or even existed in his body memory, it was certain that this so-called "primary shooting skill" was at least enough to protect himself.
"Practice again..."
In order to facilitate practice, Zhu Xianhai even hired craftsmen to customize a new type of holster, which was similar to the quick-draw holsters of later generations, allowing him to pull out the gun as quickly as possible and shoot the target.
However, it doesn't seem to be of much use. After all, he is not a cowboy, and he doesn't need to duel with anyone. He doesn't even carry a gun with him. It's too big.
"Actually, this gun can definitely be improved..."
Looking at the revolver in my hand, which is more than 30 centimeters long, it is not only large in size, but also heavy. Of course, what is even more annoying is that it uses divided ammunition, and you have to load it into six parts before use.
The magazine is filled with black powder, gaskets, projectiles and thunder caps. After the projectiles are loaded, the loading rod under the barrel must be pressed downward. At this time, the loading rod will be in an "L" shape, and the projectiles and gunpowder will be loaded.
Compacted in the magazine.
How to use such a gun, how awkward it is.
Looking at the Henry rifle on the table, he picked up the bullet and said to himself.
"The rimfire bullet used in the Henry rifle is also .44 caliber, which is the same as the Army type. If this bullet is used in a pistol and replaced with a full-pass chamber, wouldn't that solve the problem?"
As soon as the thought came to mind, the familiar appearance of the revolver suddenly flashed across his mind. He had only seen it in movies, TV series or on the Internet a while ago, but now with the extra knowledge of firearms in his mind, he actually understood their structure.
You know it.
Is it a side benefit of the so-called "primary shooting skills"?
In fact, this is a normal thing. After all, in the following century and a half, the basic structure of the revolver has not changed much. After having a preliminary understanding of firearms, it is not just a superficial understanding in the past.
, is naturally integrated with these new knowledge, which is also the reason why this knowledge appears in Zhu Xianhai's mind.
This is entirely the result of standing on the shoulders of historical giants. Recalling the principle and structure of firearms that flashed in his mind, and then admiring the extremely bulky-looking Remington revolver in his hand, Zhu Xianhai's eyes lit up.
"These things can definitely be applied for patents for several new revolvers!"
