"Your Majesty, I wonder if any of your black cavalry guards have mastered this matchlock rifle?" Du Cheng smiled while stroking his beard. Although none of the guards hit the bullseye and even frequently showed funny gestures, this is a new person after all.
Things, I heard that even the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion are still groping.
Today, Yuan Yi is wearing a plain black brocade suit with a golden dragon python tattooed on it. He has a handsome appearance and sharp cheeks. He stares at the school with a pair of sharp eyes. He opens his lips and speaks in a deep voice with a hint of magnetism, "I
There are some people in the Black Riding Guard who can hit the target, but they haven't figured out how to stabilize their body when the gun fires projectiles."
Du Cheng nodded, "My subordinates have also tried this matchlock gun. Although it is very powerful, every time the projectile is fired, it carries a huge momentum, which can shock the gunman back several steps or fall to the ground. It is indeed a problem."
"
At this moment, Su Yin took over the gun. This matchlock gun was designed and made by her own hands, because it was still in the period of cold weapons. She knew that there needed to be a transition period to transform into hot weapons, so she indicated that she had just tinkered with the matchlock gun.
Compared with modern guns, they are extremely ancient.
The structure of a matchlock gun is that there is a metal hook on the gun. One end of the hook is fixed on the gun and can rotate around the axis. The other end holds a burning match rope.
When the soldier fired, he pushed the metal hook into the fire door with his hand, causing the match rope to ignite the black powder and then launch the projectile in the gun chamber.
Because the match rope is a hemp rope or a tightly twisted strip of cloth, soaked in potassium nitrate or other salt solutions and then dried, it can burn slowly, with a burning speed of about 80 mm to 120 mm per hour. In this way, soldiers
After pressing the metal hook into the fire door, you can hold the gun with one or both hands, keeping your eyes on the target.
This matchlock gun can only fire two bullets every three minutes. Since the barrel is set to be long, the range is about one hundred to two hundred meters.
Because the interval between firing bullets is too long, it can only be used as an auxiliary item in cold weapon warfare. Otherwise, after one round of firing, while waiting for the cooling time, the opponent will have already used swords and guns to cut down his men and horses, and the enemy will not give you any
Waiting time.
Of course, this is based on the premise that it cannot be popularized on a large scale and people do not know how to use guns in formation.
If Su Yin were to form a large-scale army, he would not need cold weapons, but just use these matchlock guns. As long as they are arranged properly, he can destroy an army in minutes.
Just as the soldier from the Cavalry Battalion was about to correct Su Yin's posture in raising the gun, the latter's legs were slightly apart, his body was slightly sideways, the butt of the gun was pressed against his shoulder, and he was making aiming movements, which startled the soldier.
Then, Su Yin raised his hand and pushed the metal hook, and the match rope instantly ignited the gunpowder. The gun exploded, and the projectile was launched, hitting the bullseye with a bang!
Bullseye fell to the ground!
The whole place was silent.
You know, these soldiers were practicing just now, but no one really hit the bullseye. Because it was their first time to contact this matchlock gun, let alone whether they could master the balance, the sound and momentum of the projectiles when they were launched made them unstable.
, funny things happened frequently, either he was so frightened that he fell to the ground, or he was knocked to the ground by the huge recoil force, or he was hit so far that he could no longer deflect.
This was the first time they saw someone knock the bullseye to the ground. This shooting technique was a bit too accurate!
And even the soldiers in the Xiaoqi Battalion on the side also had strange expressions on their faces.
