The first batch of bullets sent by Noros were very bad. His understanding of accuracy was equivalent to the size being almost right. As for the twelve millimeters Reggie said, he understood the size as the thickness of a finger. The huge deviation was completely beyond the scope of the firearm.
tolerance range.
There were one hundred bullets in the first batch, and only fourteen were qualified. Reggie scolded Nolos and asked him to start over immediately. However, these precious fourteen bullets were also used for the test firing of the first new gun.
opportunity.
The shooters are Jarvan and Ironskull.
Jiawen conducted the first round of test firing first, and Reggie told him a few things first.
"The bore of the revolver is not airtight. You will suffer a very large recoil. The weight of the propellant may not be appropriate. Nolos must not have weighed it carefully. There is a high risk of leakage or explosion of the chamber. Wear gloves.
, be sure to place the wooden gun butt firmly on your shoulder, and remember every shooting essential. It doesn’t matter whether you can shoot accurately or not, as long as you can shoot the bullet successfully..."
Listening to Reggie's nagging instructions, Jiawen felt a little embarrassed. How dangerous could a two-foot-long iron pipe weapon be?
Moreover, the operation of this kind of weapon is much simpler than a grenade. There is no need to ignite or throw it. You only need to pull the trigger once. Even if there is an accident, a small bullet cannot be as powerful as a grenade.
.
For safety reasons, Jiawen put on gloves and protective gear. He placed the butt of the gun tightly on his shoulder and fired the first bullet from a relatively stable lying position.
The huge recoil surprised Jiawen. The moment the hammer hit the bullet, Jiawen felt like he was hit hard by the gun butt.
The sound of this thing was not quiet. Although it was far from a grenade, it exploded in his ears and made Jiawen's ears ring for a long time.
In stark contrast, is the power of the rifle.
When he saw Reggie's bombs and grenades for the first time, Jarvan felt that such weapons were enough to destroy everything.
But this time he saw nothing. His target was a grass target three hundred feet away. Because the first bullet missed and left no mark on the target, Jiawen doubted the significance and value of this new weapon.
.
"With all due respect, sir, I feel that this weapon called a musket... may not be as useful as a bow and arrow."
Jiawen expressed his opinion very directly. Reggie didn't say much. He asked Noros to get a pair of armor and put it on the grass target, allowing Jiawen to complete the subsequent shooting.
The second bullet still missed, and just splashed a little smoke on the mound behind the grass target. Jiawen had lost patience with the new weapons, and he fired the next three shots at will, but none of the bullets hit.
"I'm sorry, sir, I really can't find the advantages of this weapon," Jiawen sighed as he rubbed his swollen and painful shoulders, "I think this weapon does more damage to warriors than to enemies."
Jiawen, who was not good at words, seemed to have learned the art of sharp tongue. These words really left Reggie speechless.
But Jiawen planned to continue complaining: "This kind of weapon cannot be compared with a grenade at all, and such a small bullet is not even as lethal as a bow and arrow."
"It must be more powerful than a bow and arrow!" Iron Skull suddenly said, because he kept staring at the mound behind the grass target.
The soil is very soft, but don't underestimate the power of the soil.
Bows and arrows can also be shot into the soil, but they will sink into the soil three or four inches at most.
But when Iron Skull dug out the bullet hole in the soil, he found that the bullet had sunk four or five feet in. Such power should not be underestimated.
"Forgive me for the offence, Commander-in-Chief, this thing is quite powerful. Maybe you used it in the wrong way."
Iron Skull picked up the rifle and imitated Jarvan, shooting from a prone position.
The first bullet also missed. Iron Skull looked back at Reggie and asked: "Lord, please tell me how to aim again."
Reggie introduced the three-point-one-line method again, Iron Skull re-aimed at the grass target and fired the second shot.
Taking into account the impact of the recoil, he adjusted the aiming position appropriately, and the second shot grazed the armor of the grass target, leaving a little spark on it.
Jiawen was stunned. It seemed that he had really underestimated the power of the musket.
Taking advantage of the feeling in his hand, Iron Skull immediately fired the third bullet, and this bullet hit the target.
"Good job, Iron Skull!" Reggie ordered Iron Skull to put down the rifle. He wanted to confirm the effect of the hit.
The armor was penetrated, the straw target was penetrated, and the armor on the back of the straw target was also penetrated.
Reggie found the warhead in the mound. The warhead that penetrated the two layers of armor still advanced nearly a foot in the mound.
Jiawen was stunned. He realized his mistake and quickly corrected it: "It seems that muskets and grenades have their own strengths."
"I think muskets are easier to use," Iron Skull said with a smile, "Commander Commander, if you hold a grenade and I hold a musket, I believe I can defeat you."
"Do you want to compete with me?" Jiawen's face darkened, and his iron-skull tone made him very unhappy.
"There is no need to really fight, just say a few words and you will understand," Tie Shou was rarely in the mood to speak. "Before throwing the grenade, you must light the fuse. I can shoot you at this time, even if I miss,
You also have to stand up straight to throw the grenade. Your whole body is in front of my eyes, and I am lying on the ground. You may not be able to see me, and you may not be able to hit me when you throw it. And this thing can hit me continuously.
Five shots, one of them will hit you."
"If it's a one-man battle, a gun might be better than a grenade, but if it's a battle between two armies, I'd still prefer grenades."
Chris came to Reggie and expressed his opinion. Reggie said angrily: "You are like a ghost that cannot be driven away!"
"But this thing is too difficult to master," Jiawen frowned. "You have to practice it repeatedly to ensure a hit."
Tie Shou shook his head and said: "It's not that difficult. It's really not easy to target an enemy. It's much easier to target a group of enemies."
Jiawen said: "Let me try again."
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief," Iron Skull said with a smile, "I still have two shots left to shoot!"
The value of muskets is by no means inferior to grenades, and is even much more effective than traditional fuse grenades. Muskets have better flexibility, higher offensive efficiency, and better adaptability to combat environments. Soldiers
You can shoot in a bunker, instead of throwing grenades, you must choose an open position and expose yourself to the enemy. Soldiers equipped with muskets can greatly increase the probability of survival. If an army has a hundred musketeers, it can be guaranteed
The continuity of firepower can even resist cavalry attacks on the plains.
The poor fourteen rounds of bullets were quickly exhausted, and Jiawen finally hit a shot. He accurately penetrated the straw man's iron helmet. It seemed that he also found the correct way to use the musket.
Then there is only the issue of mass production. The barrel and runner can only be completed by Hurley. As for the bullets...it depends on when Norlos can truly understand the concept of accuracy.
Reggie was praying silently, praying that no one would launch a war against Shattering Snow City in the next two months. In two months, more than two hundred muskets could be produced, which would at least complete the equipment for the First Army and the Orc Army.
Chris seemed to know what Reggie was thinking. He whispered to Reggie: "I suggest you leave the muskets to the third army. They can master the use of muskets in the shortest time, and they will not be like the Gusta Knights."
Just like the orcs, they have so many ideas and ask so many questions."
