Li Yu raised his dueling pistol, aimed at a big tree about five steps away, and pulled the trigger. Jian
The next moment, the flint collided with the fire sickle, causing sparks to ignite the gunpowder in the primer plate, which in turn ignited the gunpowder in the barrel and spurted out flames!
The duel pistol made a terrifying roar, and along with a burst of white smoke, the bullet flew out of the barrel and hit the bark of the tree.
Wood chips flew everywhere at the impact point, and the lead bullet was deeply embedded in the trunk of the tree.
"The power is okay," Li Yu said to Ge Lipeng, "but the accuracy is a bit off. I originally aimed at a lower position."
“I didn’t have time to rifling the barrel,” Ge Lipeng said. “Early gunsmiths used something called an Iowa rifling machine to wire the barrel. That thing was actually a wooden lathe.
"But the barrels of guns at that time were still made of iron. Steel barrels were a little more troublesome, so my suggestion was to wait until the enemy was close before shooting."
"Good idea." Li Yu reloaded the duel pistol with bullets and gunpowder, and then handed it to Miss Rabbit with a dull look on her face. Jian
"Come and give it a try. Pull the crescent-shaped mechanism below to complete the launch."
The female lord took the flintlock gun and subconsciously pointed the barrel at herself, wanting to see what secret was hidden inside that could make it make such a big noise.
As a result, Li Yu pushed the muzzle of the gun away and warned him at the same time.
"At no time should you point the gun at yourself or others around you. In short, do not point your finger of judgment at anyone or anything except your opponent.
"This is a very, very dangerous weapon that can easily take away a person's life. Don't wait until tragedy strikes to regret it."
Ilea looked at the exquisite little thing in her hand, which was as exquisite as a work of art. Until now, she still couldn't accept that it had such powerful lethality.
At this time, Ge Lipeng took out another pair of cotton armor and hung it on another tree. Jian
Ilea followed Li Yu's example, raised the duel pistol in her hand, took aim for a while, and then pulled the trigger.
As a result, the sudden recoil almost made her unable to grasp the butt of the gun.
The muzzle of the gun was raised upward, and the bullet grazed the tree trunk and flew into the woods without knowing where to go.
The female lord was choked by the white smoke and coughed.
"It doesn't matter, take your time. It's normal to miss the target the first time. You can stand closer, then hold the gun with two hands and straighten your arms as much as possible..."
Li Yu guided from the side and then completed the third filling.
Ilea learned her lesson, took a deep breath, raised the hand of judgment again, and aimed at the position slightly lower than the cotton armor. Jian
This time, the bullet finally hit the target.
Seeing this, the girl couldn't help but cheer. And when she, Li Yu and Ge Lipeng walked to the front to check the damage caused by the duel pistols, they found that the pair of cotton armor on the tree had been damaged by that small " "The stone" was penetrated.
In other words, if someone wearing cotton armor came to compete with her, they would have been shot.
And this was not the end. Ge Lipeng then took out another pair of leather armor. The tough cowhide could not withstand the impact of lead bullets, and then came the scale armor.
What the female lord didn't expect was that the scale armor made of iron sheets was actually helpless against the bullet, and a hole as thick as a finger appeared at the impact point.
Finally, there is the highlight of this round of testing, chain armor and plate armor.
Among them, the chain armor that Ge Lipeng found finally defended the glory of the armor and was not penetrated by the lead bullet. Jian
The projectile hit the rivet, and eventually deformed severely and got stuck in the armor. However, a shallow crater was still left on the tree trunk behind it.
This means that although the bullet failed to penetrate the wearer's body, the terrifying impact produced can still easily tear apart the wearer's muscles and even break the wearer's ribs.
As for the plate armor, Ge Lipeng first put on a low-quality plate armor bought from a small town on the road, but the plate armor was torn apart by bullets.
But after putting on the dwarf armor equipped by the Black Dog Guards and the guards of the Arias family, it could only leave a small hole in it.
Ge Lipeng felt a little regretful when he saw this, "Smoothbore guns are not only inferior to rifled guns in terms of shooting accuracy, but the kinetic energy of the muzzle is also smaller than rifled guns.
"If the opponent is wearing very powerful armor, try attacking his limbs or sides. The armor there is thin and easy to break."
The female lord held the duel pistol in her hand, but now her worries turned into joy, and she became energetic again, calling "good guy Jian"
She never thought that there would be such a small, yet so powerful weapon in this world. Its lethality has surpassed that of a hand crossbow.
The most important thing is that hand crossbows are prohibited in the tournament, but it does not say that you cannot bring the hand of judgment.
With this thing, Miss Rabbit instantly felt like she was good again and could compete with other contestants.
But soon she thought of another question and asked Li Yu, "This sacred instrument... can't the prerequisite ceremony be omitted? It feels like it takes a bit long."
"The filling of gunpowder and bullets cannot be omitted." Li Yu replied, "So you'd better finish this before the competition begins."
"But what if I miss?" the girl asked again.
"This is simple." Li Yu turned to Shuangxiu's followers and said, "Where are the other guns you made?" Jian
It took Ge Lipeng about a week to make his first gun. This was mainly because the tools were not very convenient and he also encountered some problems when making the gun for the first time.
As the saying goes, once it is reborn, it will take twice as much time to make it again.
According to Ge Lipeng, in modern society, it would only take a skilled gunsmith two days to make a flintlock gun. Of course, if you want to make the gun well and fit it as accurately as possible, you may need to polish it. One year.
Li Yu didn't have high requirements for flintlock guns. Instead of pursuing lethality and accuracy, it would be more practical to get a few more.
He had already considered the concerns of the female lord. On the competition ground, flintlock guns were basically a one-shot deal. The further you got to the back, the more you would encounter masters, and it was impossible to give you time to reload.
This requires redundancy to ensure victory in a battle and to cope with possible risks, which are not limited to misses, but also misfires or other accidents.
So Ge Lipeng took out two other dueling pistols and an axe. Jian
"I don't need the axe." The female lord said, "I can't use this weapon."
"This is a flintlock ax." Ge Lipeng explained when he saw her waving her hand. "It appeared on European battlefields from the 16th to the 18th century. It could also fire lead bullets. It was mainly made to solve the problem of flintlock guns being incapable of close combat. "
