With a "snap", the flint gun that had just been developed was fired in his hand.

Got off the gun, from the double-layer coarse cloth ammunition pocket coated with tung oil and paraffin wax to release water, I took out the mushroom-shaped bullet paper cylinders wrapped in stiffened kraft paper in bulk, held the gun in his left hand, and the thumbnail cover of his right hand lightly scratched the mushroom-shaped hard pressure ring cap, and then with a flick, the cap flew to the ground, and with a slight pinch of the thumb and index finger, a small triangular hard mark appeared.

Following this crease, the gunpowder particles inside are poured into the barrel, and the granular gunpowder has been weighed and glued together with a little glue to bake the whole granular gunpowder, that is to say, the granular gunpowder is made into a quantitative, large, and directly ignited particle gunpowder.

This kind of granular gunpowder is a quantitative gunpowder particle that has undergone countless tests, and the range can reach 120 meters, and the range error will not exceed plus or minus five meters, and it can definitely kill a person who does not wear armor at 110 meters.

One hundred and twenty meters, which is equivalent to two hundred and forty steps, or according to the o.75 meter step calculated by later generations, is about two hundred steps, a distance that even the Qing army archers with heavy longbows could not effectively shoot arrows so far.

At this distance, even if the horses charged, the flintgunners could fight two rounds before the enemy could reach a range of 100 meters, while the Mongols' bows and arrows could only be wielded at the nearest 30 or 60 paces, because most of them used hard bows and short bows.

Thirty paces is fifteen meters, and sixty is thirty meters, and when they are within this range, even two columns of musketeers can shoot at least five or seven rounds.

If there are enough musketeers, the enemy will not be able to go within a hundred paces at all, which is equivalent to fifty meters away, and the three-stage shooting can ensure that the enemy will always wander fifty meters away, of course, if the enemy has sufficient troops and is not afraid of death and wounding, then it is another matter, maybe he can consume a lot of musketeers' bullets with his numbers, and maybe he can break through a little more.

The refinement of the flint made it possible to increase this firing by more than a point, simplifying the reload, simplifying the time and steps for the musketeer from discharging to firing and preparing for another shot.

In the past, no matter how simple it was, soldiers had to use at least fifteen to seventeen or eight steps, and the simplification from more than forty steps to fifteen to seventeen or eighteen steps was a great improvement, and it was also Zhang Qiang's contribution to François's continuous improvement of the arquebus, but now it has been reduced by many steps.

The soldiers only need to go through the twelve steps, such as getting off the gun, holding the gun, pulling out the bullet, then loading the ******, covering the wind cover, loading the bullet, stabbing it with a stick, and then stuffing the hard-shell paper tube with their hands, stabbing it with the stick, raising the gun, aiming, pulling the trigger, etc., which is three steps less than the previous fifteen steps, and three to four minutes faster, but these four seconds, three steps, can also determine a person's life and death.

A skilled soldier only takes more than ten seconds, a semi-skilled soldier has more than 20 seconds, a soldier who is not familiar with it has more than 30 seconds, maybe a soldier who has just trained for a few days can get a variety of copies, but after this simplification, even a recruit can reload and shoot in more than 40 seconds, which is equivalent to not training much, fighting two or three battles, or extending the training time a little more can make a recruit shoot two bullets a minute.

Even the seventeenth-century soldiers in Europe couldn't have been quicker with arquebuses.

Three or four bullets a minute, a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, even if it is a distance of one hundred and twenty meters, only need to thicken the ranks of musketeers to five to six columns, and they can form continuous firepower, even if the cavalry is small, it will not be able to rush in front of the wall of fire at all.

Needless to say, Zhang Qiang's shooting degree, as a traverser, he deeply knows that it is better to seek others than to seek himself, as soon as he comes to this world, he will face a threat to survival, and he must practice his skills hard.

Martial arts is impossible, to practice to the top, it takes a long time to boil the body, Zhang Qiang does not have so much time, choosing a musket as one of his talisman weapons, is the best choice for every traverser.

After the flint gun was fired, there was a bullet hole in the target 120 meters away, and a four-millimeter-thick plate armor made by the Huaxia Army was pierced front and back, unceremoniously and mercilessly.

Although it is a lead bullet, this bullet has a little oval pointed tip, and it already has the prototype of a Mini bullet, plus the caliber is large, almost 11 mm, this kind of bullet with the thickness of an adult's index finger must be very powerful, and there is no possibility of deformation because of softness.

However, this is a flint with a rough straight rifling, which is higher and flies farther than a pure smoothbore arquebus.

Almost more than 200 meters away, there is still a huge lethality, but the accuracy is definitely not good.

Wan Siyuan on the side said to Zhang Qiang: "Governor, after Sebastian developed it, it was handed over to Mr. François for finalization and production, and now this kind of gun you call a flint has been produced 1,200 pieces." But without your order, we can't expand production, and these 1,200 units will be tested on the battlefield in various units, and after the final experiment is completed, we will produce according to your arrangement. ”

Zhang Qiang put down the flint gun, "Okay, yes, it's him, don't experiment, start producing, first produce 10,000 expenses, first equip the 1st Guards Brigade, and other surplus equipment for the personal guards of the brigade commanders of various deputy general levels, produce it as soon as possible, equip it as soon as possible, let them get familiar with and use this gun as soon as possible, and then slowly improve it later, and the work of this improvement will be handed over to Francois, you just keep an eye on the production." ”

Wan Siyuan, the director of the arsenal in Jinhua Mansion identified by Zhang Qiang, asked again: "Governor, this gun has not yet been named. ”

"Let's call it the Huaxia Type 1 Musket."

Zhang Qiang took the kettle handed over by the guard, took a few sips of it, wiped the water from the corner of his mouth, and said casually.

"When we were still called the Jinhua Righteous Army, the arquebus produced was called Jinhua Type 1 arquebus, and after the improvement, it was called Jingai Type 1 arquebus, which is now the Huaxia Army, and the Metropolitan Governor called the new gun the Huaxia Type 1 flintlock, Dadu Governor, you really know how to name it." Wan Siyuan said with a smile.

"Anyway, it's a murderous weapon, just a tool, and it's not your mother-in-law, why do you want such a good name? It's not pretty. Zhang Qiang replied with a casual smile.

"Yes, yes," Wan Siyuan smiled and helped the guards lead Zhang Qiang's war horse, handed the reins to Zhang Qiang, and helped Zhang Qiang jump on the war horse by holding Zhang Qiang's waist.

"Produce it as soon as possible, equip the troops, the Qing army on the other side is already learning from us, so we have to use more advanced weapons than them, maybe three months, maybe four months, or...... Well, in short, it's only half a year, and they're about to call, and we don't have many days to rest easy. After speaking, Zhang Qiang beckoned his personal guards to walk into the distance.

He has more to do.
