The 30 tunnel gun, although the name is called the tunnel gun, but strictly speaking, this gun should be called a fire cap gun or a fire door gun, which is a front-loading smoothbore gun fired with a hammer and a fire cap.

Theoretically speaking, this kind of gun can be completely made into a breech-loading type of 28 cover now used by the main force of the crossing army, which is a rear-loading rapid fire cap gun.

The reason for the change to a front-loading smoothbore type is simple: this gun is to be exported.

When Cao Zongbing was in the capital before, in order to fool the emperor, he once boasted about the fire hat and promised the emperor to sell arms.

So now taking advantage of this opportunity, a smoothbore gun that is used in overseas second-level troops and incidentally takes into account export has been designed.

Since it is to be exported, the premise of the front-loading smoothbore is certain. It is necessary to completely widen the generation gap between the external gun type and the main force, so that one will be ten when turning the face in the future, so the breech is a must.

In addition, the firing mechanism of this gun was changed from flint to fire cap. Not to mention that this increases the rate of fire, because of the existence of the fire cap, it is equivalent to another layer of insurance, who dares to go against Cao Dashuai, and will not be able to buy a fire cap in the future.

In this way, after determining the design idea, the 30-type tunnel fire gun was successfully released, imitating the historical fire cap gun.

The total length of the 30 tunnel fire gun is 145 cm, of which the length of the barrel is 102 cm, the caliber is about 1.8 cm, and the weight of the whole gun reaches 4.5 kg, that is, 9 catties.

Thanks to the superb machining ability of the Trolley, the Type 30 rifle is not only compact in structure, but also has a small clearance between the fixed ammunition and the chamber, and the energy waste rate is very low. At a distance of 100 meters, the Three-Zero Type could completely knock the armored Manchu knights off their horses.

Compared to the pinnacle of front-loading smoothbore guns in history, the Brown Bess is not only short and concise, but also has a much higher rate of fire, and skilled gunners can achieve a rate of 5 to 6 rounds per minute.

In addition, the three-zero type can ensure accurate shooting within the range of 30 meters and 50 meters, but if you want to hit the opponent at a distance of 100 meters and 200 meters, you can only play line up and shoot.

This range has been deliberately tuned by the Traversal.

With today's processing capacity, in fact, as long as the barrel is slightly lengthened, the shooting accuracy of the 30 type will be greatly increased. However, taking into account the generational suppression, the final finished gun was still controlled within the accuracy range of 50 meters.

Again: you can't pose a threat to the main forces.

Of course, in terms of range and power, the Type 30 is no problem whether it fights the Turks or the Tartars. The British had beaten half the world with the brown bass, and there was no reason why the faster three-zero type couldn't do it.

Unless the user is a army with no fighting spirit.

The premise of sweeping the sticks is that the troops have sufficient pay and training...... That's exactly what Daming lacks. So no matter what weapon Daming is given, the end is estimated to be about the same, and what is feared by the public is actually Daming who became the captain of the transport brigade, so the fire hat is still very important.

....................

On the large playground of the Huangpu Military Port, the voices of the people were boiling, and all kinds of roars and the sound of gold and iron clashes were constantly being carried out by the pioneers of the army.

The playground is roughly divided into two parts, one half for testing hot weapons and the other for cold weapons.

The brigade was lining up to shoot.

Many of the indigenous Ming people who joined the pioneer army actually had the experience of shooting birds or arquebuses before, so they were no strangers to muskets.

Under the guidance of the regular army sergeant, the indigenous shooter first bit the tail of the fixed-loading bullet case made of oiled paper, poured all the gunpowder into the barrel, and then stabbed the lead bullet into the barrel with a strip.

After this step, raise the gun, pull off the beak hook of the bolt, insert the copper fire cap into the special recessed circular groove, and all the shooting preparations are completed.

Compared with the arquebuses and bird guns that appeared in history, and even the darling tunnel pistols in the next two hundred years, the advanced fixed ammunition and fire cap ignition method of the Type 30 rifle have completely thrown off their predecessors and can be called extremely advanced.

The next moment, the shooter opened fire on the target at a distance of 30 meters. The fire cap hit by the beak ignited smoothly, and then the flame ignited the black powder in the barrel along the fire hole, and the bullet was pushed out of the barrel by the inflated gas.

At this point, the gap came out: most of the natives did not know the use of the front sight and the door on the barrel, and the shooting of the gun was all based on feeling, whether the bullet could hit the target or not, it was purely a talent.

Everyone who ran to the test was given the opportunity to fire 5 shots. During this period, as long as you can hit the target with a smoothbore gun in your hand 1 bullet, you can stay and continue your "further study" even if you are a qualified player.

As for those who were eliminated in the shooting test, then they had to go and manipulate cold weapons.

...................

The organizational structure of the pioneer army is more free and simple than that of the regular army, and at present there are only three organizational levels: battalions, companies, and squads, of which the number of squads can be more or less, and they can be added, deleted, and freely combined at any time.

Wu Sanye's group was assigned to seven classes in a row when they were assigned to classes before, and Wu Sanye was naturally the squad leader.

The total number of students in the seven classes is currently eight. Because when they were in Taipei before, the overseers talked about firearms with the guards, so half of the people in the seventh class passed the shooting test, including Wu Sanye and Young Master Yusheng.

After getting the qualification, Wu Sanye hurriedly returned to the training ground and found a few younger brothers who were playing with knives and guns.

The field of cold weapons is much more lively. From time to time, there are strongman masters from the three mountains and five mountains holding various unpopular weapons to perform a set of ancestral crafts in public, which arouses the cheers of the people who eat melons.

There are also real people who hold wooden knives and swords and wear armor to compete with each other.

The arena where the onlookers watched the real fight was not very lively, and the atmosphere was even a little depressing. In fact, most of the people gathered here are people with experience in life and death. On the real battlefield, life and death are instantaneous, and there is no time and space to brush the spear, so most of these people are silent, looking at the two who are fighting each other in a few simple strokes, and their faces are very solemn.

In fact, it is the people who are really ambitious here: the pioneer army supports small groups, and the masters can attract some people who can talk to each other in this way to form their own small teams.

Wu Sanye found a few of his younger brothers here.

Then after watching the masters fight each other for a while, Wu Sanye nodded and took his little brother to the biggest field.

In the middle of the largest field, surrounded by people.

Wei Yuan, who is 1.93 meters tall and wears an army green two-finger vest, breeches and combat boots, revealing a huge upper arm and chest muscles, is now in a standard modern fighting starting style, facing three Ming men who are extremely short for him, constantly changing his pace, ready to attack at any time.
