【Chapter 221】 Shotgun, Fire Elf
Shotguns belong to smoothbore guns, do not need to process rifling, have a simple structure, short range, great power, and a large enough caliber. It is suitable for jungle warfare, encounter warfare, ambush warfare, anti-ambush warfare, night warfare, the larger the target, the stronger the lethality, the easier the aim, and it is an efficient weapon for close combat.
What is an orc?
Silly and coarse, with poor armor, what he is best at is the above fighting style.
Powerful, simple in construction, and with low aiming requirements, shotguns are tailor-made killers for them.
The only demanding requirement is that it requires excellent psychological quality.
And this kind of psychological quality can only be tempered after experiencing the baptism of iron and fire, and it is also the foundation for the future hegemony of the world. Only through sacrifice can you become strong, otherwise no matter how powerful your weapons are, you will always be a rabble.
"Yes, Qin. It was a very strange feeling, as if the metals were connected to my mind, they were alive, controlled by my mind, shapeshifting at will. ”
In front of Alice, a soft mass of metal was slowly deforming, it was a hammer, one of the key parts of the shotgun.
Shotguns have a long history, countless famous guns, and various uses, such as hunting, competition, escort, police, military, etc., and there are countless types of ammunition. The loading methods mostly belong to semi-automatic and fully automatic shotguns, and the ammunition feeding devices are well-known pump-action, revelator, and magazine type.
Of course, there is also the less common lever used by the macho Schwarzenegger.
Given Alice's knowledge of firearms, it is difficult to master the mechanical structure that is too complex to master. Therefore, what Qin Song wanted to make was an entry-level shotgun - a compromise loading, double-barreled shotgun, that is, a double-shot shotgun that breaks the gun from the middle, loads two shotguns at the same time, and uses a double-click hammer and a double-trigger.
The construction is simple, with few parts, consisting of a smoothbore barrel, hammer, firing pin, trigger, as well as a butt and grip, and even the sights can be omitted.
The most difficult parts are the small spacing return springs and hammer springs of the firing pin. The manufacture of springs is also quite difficult for Alice, because even the best quality Beska steel on hand is not as good as high-quality spring steel in terms of mechanical properties, elastic resistance and fatigue properties, so the performance of the springs manufactured is poor.
After many experiments and manufacturing, the general was finally able to make a set of barely enough springs.
As for the other parts, after Qin Song explained the principle of motion, drew sketches, and demonstrated them in detail with the illusion box. Alice, who has a unique sense of machinery, quickly mastered it and succeeded in manufacturing.
There are two types of smoothbore barrels, stacked and double-rowed, and the double-row hammer works more simply, with the least difficulty, and does not require the caliber of a cannon, which can be manufactured by drilling press.
In order to improve the aiming accuracy, the two barrels side by side are not perfectly parallel, but form a subtle angle, and the firing point is as close to the center as possible.
After a day and a night of hard work, a compromise double-barreled shotgun without a butt was freshly baked.
The next step is the production of shotguns, which are prone to jamming due to the poor ductility of steel bullets. In the end, it was decided to use brass, a copper coin struck by the Kingdom of Tia.
It looks extravagant, but in fact the shells can be recycled, and it is the steel balls that are filled inside that really cause damage.
The shotgun base and cartridge case did not stump Alice for too long, and the rest was - a primer and a projectile.
Burst potions are less stable, can be detonated on impact, and can be used as a primer. The method is to wet it with water, fill it into the base, and dry it to solidify. The amount of magic cotton used in the propellant needs to be further tested. To be cautious, less is adopted.
Then there is the bullet stock, because there is no suitable material, it can only be replaced with a cork support, which can be used as a partition to isolate the projectile and increase the air tightness. Finally, a certain amount of lead beads is added and encapsulated with gum.
There are guns, there are bullets. It does not mean that it can be taken out immediately to kill all sides, crisscross the battlefield, a durable firearm, it takes countless experiments and demonstrations, bullet casings to the chamber, the strength of the locking structure, etc., in order to approach perfection.
Even so, this double-barreled shotgun is an epoch-making product.
The advent of thermal weapons is bound to completely turn the times upside down.
Qin Song mastered the Evil Nest Demon Spider, which meant that he had the most crucial materials in his hands, and he didn't have to be afraid of anyone copying his works at all.
Moreover, he also keeps a hole card - the compound eye of the curse seal.
As long as this shotgun can be fired smoothly, it can be used as a base mold, which consumes mental points and upgrades it to a seamless steel shotgun.
Qin Song stroked the assembled sample gun placed on the workbench, without carved decorative patterns, without polished oily butt, simple and simple, with a unique metallic charm.
There was also a row of six shotguns on the table, with small and large charges. Alice bent down on the bookcase, using a quill pen to carefully record the detailed data of each part that had been measured on the parchment drawing.
"Qin, the predetermined butt, was given to Elena's father, Dalin, to make it with the newcomer Carpenter Matraar. I think I'll be able to send it in this afternoon and complete the final assembly. ”
After finishing the final data, Alice stretched her waist and looked at the sample gun with the same expectation, she was familiar with every detail of the work she made by hand.
"Wow! I'm amazing!"
Cries of joy came from far and near, the curtain of the wooden shed was lifted, and Luna rushed in, giving Alice a bear hug with her eyebrows: "Alice, Alice, congratulations!"
"Luna?"
"Qin!"
In front of Qin Song, Luna was a little reserved, with a spring-flower-like smile on her face, with cute dimples, and winked at him: "A great piece of good news." ”
"Good news?" Looking at her cute appearance, Qin Song couldn't help but smile.
"Yes!" Luna nodded and wiped her nose proudly, "Hmph! I wasn't born to farm!"
Alice's eyebrows raised, "Congratulations? God, Luna, have you comprehended new powers?"
"That's right! hahaha...... Luna's eyes narrowed into crescents, "Uh-huh, a very powerful, very powerful ability." ”
"What is it?" Qin Song was also a little curious.
"Keep your eyes open, you're about to see, my brand new friend, a true warrior's companion!" Luna lifted her small breasts slightly, crossed her waist with one hand, and grabbed the curtain with the other, looking like a cowhide coaxing, and suddenly lifted the door curtain.
"Fei'er!"
Outside the door curtain, a blazing flame flew in, to be precise, it was a little goblin with flames flowing all over its body, about the size of its forearm, its hands, feet and limbs, all of which were composed of jumping flames, and its small face with full facial features was like a carved piece of fiery red magma.
And on its back, a pair of rising flame wings slowly flapped, blowing gusts of hot wind.
Fire elves.
As a three-star witch, Luna's leveling speed is not slow, and after Alice and Linda, the third has mastered more than three divine powers. The fire goblins in front of him are obviously different from the Fengmao goblins and wind goblins, and the flames mean destruction and burning.
It means that it has nothing to do with farming.
This is what makes Luna ecstatic.
"Haha...... Flames!awesome!" Luna's smug eyebrows twitched, as if she was dancing, and gently stroked the eyes of the fire with her hand, but the dancing flames did not cause her any harm, "Now, I would like to introduce you to everyone. Fei'er, my fire elf!"
The fire fairy named Fei'er bowed gracefully.
Qin Song looked at the Burning Fairy, and linked Luna's previous two abilities, Fengmao Fairy, which could provide Fengmao Wings to heal injuries. The Wind Elf, on the other hand, in addition to creating a breeze, can also provide the grace of the wind and provide support for speed.
Now it seems that Luna is not just a support witch, and each of her elves is related to the elements of nature. The first two kinds of divine power are basically auxiliary, and the appearance of the fire goblin is the real means.
Is it earth, fire, water, and wind?
In other words, her next ability is most likely related to water.
"Hello, Fei'er. ”
Alice is also full of love for this cute elf, winking playfully and greeting: "Luna, I'm curious, what will she be capable of?"
"Hmm...... Well...... "Luna scratched her head innocently, "As soon as I summon it, I can't wait to inform you." I haven't tried what she's capable of yet. ”
"The name came up pretty quickly. Qin Song quipped.
Luna's face flushed slightly, and she sneered, "I was going to give this name to the third Wind Elf." She came first, so I gave it to her first. ”
"Well, don't you mind showing us that?"
"Of course!" Luna rolled up her sleeves in excitement.
"Wait a minute!" Alice hurriedly stopped her: "Don't be here, if the wooden shed is burned, it will be troublesome." ”
"That's right, let's go outside and find a spacious place. ”
