Later that day, Young Master Huang was still walking around the Wenjia Workshop with "Master Han" and chatting happily, but Director Li had already left his duty early, and together with Director Wen, Shen Hanlin and Young Master Lan, they came to a barren beach on the edge of the big river outside Yangguan Town.

There are many wooden signs in the shape of many people on the beach by the river, far and near, one here and there, uneven and staggered. Nearby, near the main road, there was a long table that had been set up in advance, on which were two shortened Kentucky long rifles, and a pair of gunpowder and lead needed for shooting.

Young Master Lan picked up a gun from the table and slowly examined the barrel of the gun. Tight, delicate and stiff handguards, a highly precise forged barrel, a butt with a recessed shoulder at the end, an upright ruler and a crosshair, a hammer, a trigger, a trigger guard, and a brass through-strip made of hardwood...... Everything is perfect, and the whole rifle is smooth and slender, like a beautiful artifact that seems unpretentious but has a lot of hidden inside. What surprised Lan Wang's most were the two rough recessed thumb rests carved out by the gun's maker above the butt grip, which the shooter could use to clasp with his right thumb to prevent slipping when holding the gun, even for those who were accustomed to holding the gun in their left hand. This design is rare even on some hand-customized high-grade sniper rifles in the original plane, and it can be said that it is a very accessible design.

"Lao Wen, your mechanical department is doing a good job! This gun looks quite good in quality, and the design is very reasonable, not like a stall from a small workshop! The young master quipped.

"Hehe, although our shop is called 'Workshop', if you really treat him as a small workshop, that's your problem!" Wen Tongxin was obviously also very satisfied with his work, and his eyes narrowed into a slit when he laughed, "Every gun has a origin, and it is all made with precision!" Because the butts and handguards don't have to be ground separately, our woodworking machine room can focus more on perfecting these small details. But then again, whether a gun is good or not still has to be fired! You're an expert at this, and the glory of firing the first shot will be handed over to you! ”

Now that the person in charge has agreed, of course Young Master Lan has to push the boat down the river!

"Then admit it!"

As he spoke, the old mercenary picked up his rifle and picked up the paper bag from the table that Director Li had wrapped himself. He first confirmed that the hammer was in a safe state, and then installed the fire cap stored in the groove at the end of the fixed ammunition on the anvil, and then tore open the wrapping paper very coquettishly, poured the "black ~ gunpowder" in the fixed ammunition into the chamber, paused slightly to ensure that the gunpowder was in place, and then stuffed the conical Minne bullet into the muzzle. In the next step, he pulled out the bar, turned it around, and used the bar as a bullet lever to push the bullet and gunpowder to the end at once, and lightly clicked twice to confirm that the gunpowder and bullet were compacted, and then pulled out the bar and reset it. The whole set of operations is smooth and done in one go.

And then there's the big thing. At this time, Lan Wang picked up the rifle that had been loaded with bullets, aimed it at a wooden humanoid target about 150 meters away, and raised the upright frame-shaped ruler slightly to a distance of 150 meters with his hand, and the butt of the gun was on his shoulder, holding his breath, tucking his abdomen, pressing his wrist, and pulling the trigger after aiming slightly.

There was a crisp gunshot, and the waterfowl on the river beach were all startled. The bullet hits the bull's-eye, and the humanoid target flies with sawdust.

What is not quite the same as Lan Wang's expectation is that the recoil of this replica front-loading gun is surprisingly small, the muzzle jump is not serious, and the gun body is very stable when firing. At the same time, thanks to the special gunpowder formula, the smoke after firing this gun is basically negligible, and the shooting experience is quite good overall. On top of that, the two advantages of low recoil and smoke can greatly reduce the hassle of training troops to use the tactics of lining up to shoot--- it takes a long time for recruits to overcome the recoil of their guns, and the large amount of smoke generated after a dense line of gun fire can also obscure the view of your own soldiers and commanders.

"Well played!" The three onlookers applauded.

Young Master Lan put down the gun, put the gun in front of him with both hands again, and calmly blew the green smoke coming out of the muzzle: "Haha, admit it!" ”

The traverser, who didn't want to delay for a moment, continued to discuss excitedly as he walked over to the place where the humanoid target had been placed. Looking at the very regular, light-revealing circular hole on the target, even Director Wen showed a pleased smile: "Yes, the decision to use the Migne bullet is simply too correct, the stability of the trajectory is very good, the projectile bump and accuracy offset at a distance of 150 to 200 meters are basically negligible, and all the indicators have reached the predetermined design level!" Okay, great! ”

"Hey, hey, hey, okay, what's so nice about a target that has been punched through? Lan Dashao, you can be regarded as having fired one shot, I should fire the next shot, right? Shen Hanlin, who had been waiting for the trial of the firearm, was already extremely impatient, and kept urging everyone.

Lan Wang pouted: "Don't rush your life!" I knew that you would have itchy hands, so the two directors Wen and Li brought two guns over! Since you're so anxious to get over the gun addiction, why don't we just have a game? ”

"Compare to compare! Who's afraid of whom! Say, what's the comparison? Shen Mengze, as the only professional naval officer who currently crosses Zhongli, has always regarded himself as the "founder of naval theory" in his heart, and he is 10,000 unconvinced by Huang Huan, who has really commanded a gunboat. He is like this to his peers, and he is naturally not polite to Young Master Lan, who he jokingly calls "Army Red Deer", and he must compete for the level whenever he has the opportunity.

"To test the performance of our new weapons, you and I stand side by side and start firing at the same time. First, conduct a rapid-fire competition, let Wen and Li use the pulse timer, and whoever can shoot more bullets in one minute will win; In the second round, we compared the accuracy, each person had ten bullets per target, and shot at the targets at a distance of 200 meters, 300 meters and 400 meters away from us, with a total of 30 bullets per person, and the one with the most total rings won in the end. How? Get started now? “

Shen Hanlin rubbed his hands and said, "Of course! Begin! “

The result of the competition was naturally that Lanwang won both competitions without surprise. In the first rate of fire competition, Lan Wang loaded and shot skillfully and calmly, and just fired four bullets in one minute, while Shen Hanlin was nervous when loading the first bullet, so he couldn't aim the pusher at the muzzle, and only barely fired two shots after a minute passed; In the second precision competition, the number of rings of the two people at the 200-meter target was comparable, and the number of rings between the two at the 300-meter target opened up the gap of 6 rings, and when it came to 400 meters, nine of Shen Hanlin's ten bullets missed the target, and Lan Wang finally hit eight out of ten rounds on the target.

Willing to gamble and lose, although Shen Hanlin was frustrated, he had no choice but to follow the rules of the PLA in his previous life and promised to clean Lan Wang's dormitory for a week. However, there will obviously not be any dormitories in this plane, and the execution of the bet has been changed to Shen Hanlin helping the mechanical department of Wenjia Workshop to do chores for a week.

Even so, Shen Mengze's interest in firearms and shooting was still hot, and on the way back, he kept asking Wen Tongxin about the plan for making a navy version of this rifle after cutting off the barrel and the design of the bayonet, which provoked the young master of Delan to scold him for being a talker.
