0157 Self-produced firecracker

After Liu Pei was busy for a long time, there was finally good news. The blacksmith has made its first firecracker! The blacksmiths invited Liu Pei to check it out and try out the new firecracker. It has to be said that these craftsmen are still moving quickly. With nothing left and rebuilding the workshop, it only took more than two months to produce the first firecracker, which is considered a very fast speed.

Everyone gathered around Liu Pei and came to a small shooting range behind the blacksmith shop. The small range is not large, about 100 steps away. Along the way, Liu Pei was already familiar with the firecracker. The whole firearm was heavy in his hand. The polished barrel shines.

Beneath the wall of the shooting range was a table with a row of paper-wrapped sub-pill bags. This is the method that Liu Pei taught to the gunpowder craftsman to order gunpowder. When the gunpowder workshop was first established, Professor Liu Pei's method of making granular gunpowder had already surprised the gunpowder craftsman. As soon as this simple method of prescribing sub-medicine came out, he simply worshiped Liu Pei.

Liu Bei took the fire gun and opened the cover door to reveal the primer pool, then opened the small end of the sub-medicine pack, poured the gunpowder into the primer pool, closed the cover door, and prevented the loss of gunpowder in the primer pool. Then put the gun up, open the big end of the sub-bag with his right hand, pour the gunpowder into the gunpowder tube, and then take out the whole strip and insert it into the gun tube and gently pound it twice.

After loading the gunpowder, Liu Pei took out the strip and inserted it back under the muzzle, tore off the hemp rope casually, and then directly wrapped it in mulberry paper and stuffed it into the muzzle, and then pressed it tightly with the strip. At this time, he picked up the gun, pulled the dragon head, opened the cover door, aimed at the target not far away and pulled the trigger.

Liu Pei put down the firearm and said, "Let's go, look at the target." ”

Liu Pei also nodded and said, "It seems that the strength is very great!" Judging from this situation, it is no problem to break two layers of armor in 50 steps. ”

The famous British lobster soldiers lined up to shoot with this brown bess flintlock pistol! It has made great achievements for the Immortal Empire. In fact, the real name of this rifle is the 1730 style flintlock pistol. It was the first time that Britain mass-produced and distributed military-standard rifles to the army. Because of its excellent ability and stable performance, it was deeply liked by the soldiers, so the soldiers nicknamed it Brown Bess and got its name.

A commander in a wig and a ceremonial dress shouted to the other side: "Gentlemen on the other side, please shoot!" ”

Don't think this is a sign of civility and politeness. Rather, it is due to the inherent defects of the smoothbore gun. At a distance of 30 meters, the target rate of the smoothbore gun can reach nearly eighty percent. By the time the distance is 50 meters, the target rate is not even half. If the distance is farther away, whether or not you can win the other party depends entirely on faith! So at that time, both sides on the battlefield wanted the other to shoot first. When the opponent finishes shooting and starts loading gunpowder and bullets, let your team continue to push forward and shorten the distance to increase the hit rate.

The standard tactic of the British Army at that time was to brave the enemy's bullets and bullets to march forward in unison, get close to the opponent's distance of about 20-25 meters, and then gather fire, and then carry out a bayonet charge! At such a close distance, the accuracy of the smoothbore gun is relatively high, and almost all guns can hit the human body. And the lethality is huge! Those who are shot are either dead or maimed!
