Chapter 125: New Equipment (I)

"Colin, these boxes contain a hundred new rifles and 10,000 new bullets that have been urgently produced by the arsenal these days. ”

In the backyard of the castle, Murphy patted a few boxes around him, which contained the most high-tech individual equipment in the entire Thunder Castle.

As for the air-guided semi-automatic rifle, it is not yet possible to manufacture it because of the substandard industrial strength and the lack of necessary resources.

Not only that, but there was also a lack of one more important element - smokeless gunpowder.

If you want to say that smokeless gunpowder is something like black powder, it looks like black powder, it is all small black particles, but the difference is big.

Let's just say that the formula of black powder is known to almost everyone, it is nothing more than one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal, which can be refined by any coal stove, and it is very simple and does not require complex industrial processing.

But smokeless gunpowder is different, divided into monobase drugs and double base drugs. The former uses nitrocellulose as the main component, and the latter uses nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin as the main ingredients.

However, although this kind of gunpowder is currently difficult to manufacture in large quantities, it can still be made in small quantities from the alchemy laboratory in Luochebas, and as long as it takes some time, it is still possible to manufacture one or two thousand pieces in small quantities and give priority to the use of special forces.

If you want to really produce semi-automatic rifles and automatic rifles, the manufacture of a new generation of industrial machine tools is inevitable, and there is a vigorous development of the chemical industry and the metallurgical industry, the first batch of training and recruitment of metallurgical workers have been in place, presumably after the end of the war in the future, there can be some improvement in this aspect.

"A hundred needle pistols? Your Highness is really a big deal! This gun is really very useful! When our soldiers are fully redressed, their strength will definitely be greatly multiplied!" Captain Colin opened a box, took out a bolt-action pistol from it, and examined it carefully.

"Eh, Your Highness, why do I feel that these guns are a little different? and these bullets?" Holding the gun twice, Colin looked up at Murphy in confusion.

"The gun I tested for you before was just an experiment, and it could only be loaded one bullet at a time, which was very troublesome, but this one is different, come with me and I'll show you how. ”

Without saying a word, Murphy grabbed a gun and walked to the castle's converted vegetable field shooting range.

"Sit back and watch me do it. Murphy casually shook off his words and picked up his gun.

Rotate and pull out the bolt, take out a five-round magazine, press it into the magazine, take off the empty magazine, and raise the gun to aim.

Unlike the rough aiming of the old guns, the new guns have a fine aiming system, consisting of a crosshair at the muzzle and a gate with a ruler in the middle of the gun, and the distance is marked on the gauge, which the shooter can freely adjust.

Murphy's eyes, the door, and the crosshair were aimed at the target fifty meters away.

"Bang!"

There was a crisp gunshot and the target was intact.

"After all, it's a demonstration, and it's normal to make a mistake. Murphy muttered under his breath, then pulled the bolt and ejected the cartridge case, the new bullet quickly filled.

Knight Colin was watching from the sidelines, and he was completely accustomed to the aim of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince.

Later, he learned that the fireball that saved his life was actually coming for him in the first place, and the reason was the aiming ability of the four princes.

Murphy raised his hand and fired another shot, then another shot.

After five shots in this way, he finally hit a seven-ring, still without aiming.

"Well, it's just a simple demonstration, right? Don't be so serious, you can see what I'm doing, right?"

Murphy scratched his head a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic, Colin is also an acquaintance, after all, he is used to His Highness's aim.

"I understand Your Highness, compared to this gun, my original one is simply scum!"

Colin picked up a bolt-action rifle and took a closer look.

This gun, both aesthetically pleasing and practical, perfectly surpasses the previous trial load.

"Is this bullet made of copper?" Colin keenly noticed the difference in the bullet.

The bullet was roughly similar to the original bark shell bullet, with a conical warhead and a sealed cartridge case.

It's just that the shell of this bullet has been replaced with copper instead of the original bark.

"To be exact, there is only this layer of copper on the outside, and the steel core is wrapped inside the warhead. Murphy shrugged, "This bullet is not cheap, I smelted five hundred gold nasos worth copper coins to make these bullets, of course, there is still a lot of copper left, but the gunpowder in it is relatively scarce, I am afraid that the production speed cannot keep up with your consumption rate." ”

"Your Highness, can I try this shot?" asked Colin, who became more and more fond of it.

"Of course, every soldier in your Leviathan will have to learn to master this new weapon. Murphy spread his hands.

Colin, who got the promise, couldn't wait to aim at the target in the distance and learn Murphy's action shot.

Ten rings, nine rings, ten rings, ten rings, nine rings!

"Your Highness, I love this sighting device to death! I don't have to aim roughly!" said Colin, smiling like a child who had received a favorite toy.

"If you like it, if you like. ”

Murphy was relieved to know that on Earth in another world, the world's first breech-loading bolt-action rifle, the Dreiser's pinhead, had been ridiculed for a long time when it first came out.

The flavorful Swiss general even said: "It is the one who eats with his mouth that is noble (referring to the front load), and it is impossible for a noble Swiss soldier to use this 'enema gun' (referring to the rear charge)." ”

However, with the superior performance of the needle-fired pistol in the Prussian-Danish War and the Austro-Prussian War, the Swiss general was still "really fragrant".

As for Rayburg's first test gun, it performed very well on the battlefield, and it is believed that even soldiers who are accustomed to breech loading will quickly adapt to the simple and easy-to-use bolt-action rifle.

"Your Highness, what's in these boxes next to here?" Colin, pointing to the boxes next to the rifles and rifle ammunition boxes, asked curiously.

"Oh, these boxes are not simple, they contain all new things, and they are all in the experimental stage, and they are going to be handed over to you for actual use. ”

Murphy lifted the lid of one of the small wooden boxes and pulled out a new contradiction.
