Chapter 10 [You Missed the Target]

Ding Xiaoyi was right, this Goryeo warship did have gunpowder, and there were quite a few of them, a full five barrels. Each barrel is about seventy or eighty catties, and four hundred catties of gunpowder is enough to fit twenty or thirty thousand rounds of ammunition.

The arrival of these five barrels of gunpowder really solved the urgent need, but the Ding family sisters and brothers, especially Ding Xiaoyi (who later learned that it was Ding Xiaoyi's decision), played with a fire and almost burned everyone's fire. This alerted Zhao Lie, even if it was just a group of six, strict discipline must be formulated, otherwise with the temperament of the two sisters and brothers, as well as Ma Nanchun's pride, I don't know what other chaos will happen in the future. Well, this matter has to be pondered carefully, and it will be announced when Ma Nanchun comes back to discuss and approve it.

After Zhao Lie got the gunpowder, he did not rush to reload, but tested the composition of the gunpowder according to the method recorded in the diary.

If it is a professional testing institution, of course, various reagents, glass tubes and the like are indispensable. Not to mention whether Zhao Lie understands or not, at least there is no such condition at the moment. However, it is obvious that the black gun gang cannot be so professional, and the gunpowder they get is also not pure propellant, most of it is brewed out of firecrackers, and it has its own set of local methods to detect and purify. The composition of firecrackers (gunpowder) in the Song Dynasty more than 700 years ago was not much different from that of later generations, so the detection methods of the black gun gang were also effective when they were used hundreds of years ago.

Zhao Lie tried to follow the method in the notebook, repeatedly prepared, it took several days, and he almost blew up, and finally prepared a qualified propellant. When he carefully took out the first suppressed May Fourth pistol bullet from the stamping hole and looked at it carefully between his fingers, his heart was not at all excited by the Ding family sisters and brothers, Shi Yang, and Wang Ping'an.

The successful advent of this bullet indicates that the bottleneck of firearms has finally been solved. From this moment on, the gun can be called a gun, and before it had to be called "iron pimple".

"Let's go, let's try the target." Zhao Lie made a few in succession, gathered enough for a magazine, and turned his head to greet the four of them.

"Oh! Shoot the target! Ding Xiaoqi was so happy that he didn't take it away, but jumped it.

Zhao Lie pressed the magazine into an imitation Black Star grip as he walked, pulled the sleeve, clicked, and the bullet loaded.

Ding Xiaoyiqi said: "Why don't you use your real gun and use imitation guns?" ”

Zhao Lie smiled, why don't you use a genuine gun? Needless to say, of course, just in case, if there is a problem with the bullet, the damage is only imitation guns. As for whether it will damage the person with the gun, after testing the gunpowder assembly and refining for so long, this is still certain.

The shooting range is located at the training ground, and behind the target is a forest, which can not only block the sea breeze, but also reduce the ricochet rate, which is a good open-air shooting range.

The target is made of wood, and the number of rings is drawn with calcined clams ground into powder mixed with resin, which is also decent.

Zhao Lie pulled out a pistol, although it was an imitation gun, but he didn't use it casually, but chose this gun early. Calibrate the crosshair, be familiar with the feel, and after a few days, the man-machine has almost run in, and strive to play a good score in the first shot.

When Zhao Lie was in the police academy, he used the 92 style, and the average score of rapid fire was 25.45 meters and 50.38 rings for five bullets, which was an excellent result. I also played in the May Fourth style, and I was impressed by the strong recoil, and the best result was 25.32 meters in the chest ring target.

I remember that I was ashamed of this bad result while rubbing my wrists, but the instructor said: "Not bad, excellent!" ”

I was still confused and asked: "This, this is excellent...... So what counts as qualified? ”

The instructor raised three fingers and had a serious expression: "Three shots on the target, qualified." ”

Zhao Lie: "......"

The effective range of the May Fourth pistol is about fifty meters, Zhao Lie is really not sure about the fifty-meter chest target, and he wanted to change it to twenty-five meters, but when the words came to his lips, he inadvertently saw the expectant eyes of Xiao Yi and Xiao Yi, thinking about the war mode of this era, and finally swallowed it back. Believe in yourself, just fifty meters. Now he is not a student, but an instructor, he not only has to be on target, but also to play well, and the three pairs of eyes behind him are staring.

Zhao Lie took a deep breath, held his breath, held the gun in one hand and held it up in the other, bent his elbows slightly, and aimed without support, recalling in his mind the key points of the May Fourth shooting that the instructor had said: "Fifty meters, ballistic height 21.8 centimeters." When aiming, the notched crosshair is flush with the lowest edge of the target, and you can get on the target by mastering the shooting posture. Note that aim at the edge of the target, do not aim at a few rings, aim at the white edge along the target paper, yes, aim at the white edge. ”

Notch, crosshair, lower edge of the target ring, three points and one line.

Feel good, now!

Bang bang, five shots in one go, the palms of his hands shook slightly, and he always felt that the results should be good.

However, Zhao Lie did not rush to see the results, the results are important, but the more important thing is to test the bullet (propellant), which is the purpose of this test gun. Except for the muzzle of the gun, there is green smoke, and the grip and barrel are slightly hot, which is not unusual. Zhao Lie immediately decomposed the imitation black star, and looked at the parts one by one, and the results were satisfactory. Although just five rounds are not enough to conclude that the following conclusions are made, they at least prove that his refining method is correct.

"Hit, hit, hit!" Ding Xiaoqi happily ran over with the target, "Brother Zhao, it's all pierced, it's so powerful." ”

Ding Xiaoyi, Shi Yang, and Wang Ping'an were all surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but stretch out their fingers through the bullet hole.

Shi Yang was speechless: "The thickness of this target has caught up with the footman next to the card, and it actually shot through with one shot, if there is a person standing behind...... Gee. ”

Wang Ping'an's eyes flashed with indescribable light, excited, excited, and hateful, and his fists clenched tightly.

Zhao Lie has also taken out a lot of information about the Song Army from Shi Yang's mouth these days, and knows that the so-called side cards are shields. The foot pawn side card is the infantry shield, rectangular with a bracket at the back, which can prevent the cavalry from impacting. It is usually made of wood, or a single board or two pieces of art, and is covered with a layer of cowhide. However, most of these sophisticated weapons are forbidden army equipment, and don't think about the effectiveness of ordinary van soldiers.

It is not surprising that the May Fourth military pistol can shoot through 3 millimeters thick steel plates, 10 centimeters thick wooden planks, 6 centimeters thick brick walls, and 35 centimeters thick soil layers at a distance of 25 meters. Even if the present is an imitation, and the propellant is black powder instead of a single base charge, the initial velocity of the bullet is sharply reduced, the power is reduced, and the distance is doubled...... Even so, even a third of the power can penetrate three or four centimeters of wood. And the Song army's infantry side card is about this thickness, so it is not surprising that there is such a result.

The infantry side cards are indeed strong, and in this era, at the same distance, only the Song Army's sharp weapon Divine Arm Bow can achieve the same effect. However, the Divine Arm Bow could not be operated by a first-class and sturdy shooter in the army, and the pistol only needed one finger to pull the trigger, regardless of women or children.

Shi Yang had never had the opportunity to use the Divine Arm Bow, but he had witnessed the power of this powerful crossbow (although the name of the Divine Arm Bow is actually a crossbow), he was deeply impressed. In this comparison, the pistol is equivalent to a miniature version of the god arm bow, and the power is not discounted, obediently......

Compared with the power of the pistol, Zhao Lie is more concerned about his target shooting performance, the former data is clear to him, but the latter is unknown. When Ding Xiaoyi and Shi Yang had seen enough and were satisfied, their bodies moved away from the target, and Zhao Hunt's eyelids swept the target, breathed a sigh of relief, and all of them were on target. They are the fourth ring, the fifth ring, the sixth ring, the sixth ring, and there is actually an eighth ring. Twenty-nine rings, this achievement, even if the instructor is there, he will praise it.

Zhao Liezheng was proud of his successful demonstration for only three seconds, but instead of praise, a mutter: "Why didn't you hit the bull's-eye." If this is a spearfish, I'm afraid it won't even hit the tail of the fish. ”

"Ahem, ahem." Zhao Lie was almost choked, and stared at Ding Xiaoyi with his chest, "You are very accurate in spearfishing?" ”

Before Ding Xiaoyi could speak, Xiao Yi had already replied: "Sister's spearfish is powerful, one fork is accurate." ”

Ding Xiaoyi turned his face away from Zhao Lie, but that kind of self-satisfied look could be seen from the back of his head.

Zhao Lie didn't say a word, and handed over the gun: "There are two more bullets, you can try it." ”

Ding Xiaoyi happily took the gun, although he played a lot during this time, but it was all empty guns, and it was a heavy feeling to load the bullets at the moment, it was really good.

Ding Xiaoyi followed the standard shooting posture of these days training and stood in the position that Zhao Lie had given up. Zhao Lie elaborated on the essentials of shooting the May Fourth pistol one by one, and repeatedly emphasized paying attention to recoil, and finally pressed Ding Xiaoyi's shoulder, suggesting that she shoot in a squatting position, so that the lower plate is lower and more stable.

Although Ding Xiaoyi was not impressed by Instructor Zhao's target shooting results, he was very serious and meticulous in training, and kept the essentials in mind.

Feeling that everything that should be said was almost done, Zhao Lie took five steps back: "Are you ready?" ”

Ding Xiaoyi tightened her lips and nodded vigorously.

Zhao Lie's face turned cold: "Have you forgotten the training guidelines?" Speak! ”

Ding Xiaoyi's face turned red and white, he was short of breath because he was holding his breath, and said loudly: "Ready." ”

"I'll count to three, shoot."

"Understood."

"One, two...... Three! ”

Bang!

As soon as the gun went off, two people fell - one Ding Xiaoyi and one Zhao Lie.

The bullet was forward, Ding Xiaoyi was backward, and he sat on the sand.

And Zhao Lie was lying down, and the bullet was almost sliced against his scalp - Instructor Zhao was almost collapsed.

After a while, Zhao Lie wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and got up, and then looked at Ding Xiaoyi, the gun fell to the ground, he shook his hands and picked his ears, his face was pale, his mouth was slightly open, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

His eyes suddenly darkened, and when he looked up, Zhao Lie stretched out his hand, as if smiling: "You missed the target." ”
