Chapter 209: Amazing Power (Part 1)
After about five minutes, the veteran finished loading his ammunition, closed the chamber of his gun, and made a gesture to prepare for the shot.
Throughout the whole process, Eugen tried to suppress himself from laughing, and it has to be said that sometimes it is really difficult to make people understand a new thing.
Margaret seemed to be afraid that Eugen didn't understand, and wanted to let the veteran test shoot it to see the real effect, Eugen quickly snatched the rifle back into her hand to prevent the veteran from really pulling the trigger.
Just kidding, this method of reloading, if you don't blow up the chamber, maybe the barrel of the gun can be blown off by these gunpowder, if that's the case, then won't this hard-earned rifle fall short?
In fact, this situation will occur, mainly because Eugen's drawings did not explain it clearly, and at that time Eugen only gave the method of making the rifle and rifle cartridges, and did not give the corresponding method of use.
From Eugen's point of view, the bullet is loaded in a rifle and fired, isn't this something that even a child knows? And why should he explain?
But in fact, it is still a long time before the invention of magazines and bullets, and no one except Eugen knows that guns can be separated from bullets.
Everyone's thoughts are still stuck in stuffing gunpowder into the barrel of the gun, and then stuffing the balls in to prepare for shooting, which is not a bad brain, but a gap in knowledge.
This kind of thing has been seen a lot, and Eugen has become accustomed to it, people in history have limitations, even if the most intelligent ancients are put into modern society, it is impossible to understand the operation principle of airplanes in a short period of time, and there is a huge cognitive gap that is almost insurmountable.
After taking the rifle, Eugen pulled the gunpowder out of the chamber little by little, and explained the use of the rifle and the role of the bullet in a rambling manner, and he even mentioned the magazine.
Hearing Eugen's introduction, Margaret suddenly realized that the problem was.
She also ordered some rifle bullets to be produced before, but she didn't know what to use them for, and thought that this was something that Eugen used to make decorations, so Margaret also took it upon herself to carve some patterns on it to make it look better.
Margaret then waved to the veteran, and the veteran took out a few yellow copper bullets from his bosom and placed them in Eugen's hand.
After checking it, the yellow rifle bullet is about three centimeters long, the thickness of the little finger, and the craftsmanship are completely in line with the specifications of the design drawings, exactly the same as Eugen imagined.
While inspecting, Eugen also saw the intricate patterns on the bullet, and immediately glanced at Margaret in surprise.
"Good guy, this woman is really terrible, the bullet made is actually a dummy bullet, this kind of bullet really shoots whoever is pregnant." Silently shouting in his heart, Eugen picked up a bullet and prepared the chamber of the gun.
The whole process took less than three seconds, more than ten times faster.
After doing these actions, Eugen raised the rifle in his hand and said to Margaret, See, this is how it is used, this is called Eugen's musket.
Margaret was a little dumbfounded, she didn't see clearly at all when Eugen was moving too fast.
The veteran saw the key and was stunned, as a veteran, he certainly knew what it meant.
If a unit can shoot at a rate of three seconds per shot, then their lethality is simply terrifying, as if they were machines harvesting life on the battlefield.
As the guard of Leybour, he certainly knew what that meant, and he also knew that this thing would have a very bright future.
The veteran has lived with guns all his life, and now when he sees this rifle, he is even happier than seeing a big girl who is like a flower, and his eyes are full of longing.
Eugen smiled when he saw the old soldier's eyes, put the rifle in the old soldier's hand, and said, "Try to shoot it and see if it's on the right head." As for the target, he pointed to a dead tree outside the hall door and said, "Just there, shoot down the top branch of the tree for me." ”
The veteran looked up and saw that it was a thigh-thick branch, about three hundred meters away from here, and it was still in an oblique upward direction, if it was an old-fashioned flintlock pistol, I was afraid that it would take a hundred hits to get lucky and knock the branch down.
Although this veteran has a lot of shooting experience, he has no bottom in his heart, and he stared at the branches for a long time before slowly putting his finger on the trigger.
Bang!
With a crisp explosion, the tail of the bullet was hit by the firing pin, igniting a trace of spark, and then igniting the gunpowder to explode into a raging air current, which then converted into force, pushing the bullet in front of the bullet, and flew out with a whoosh.
Syllable! Click! There was a sound of wood breaking, and I saw that the branch on the dead tree in the distance was instantly broken into two sections, and the sawdust flew into the air, like a scattered wooden flower.
Because the bullet was engraved with a pattern, the moment it hit the branch, it produced the effect of a dummy bullet, and the powerful kinetic energy instantly tore the bark and trunk, cutting the branch directly into two pieces, and the break was uneven as if it had been bitten by a wild beast.
"This ......," the veteran fell silent.
Margaret and Maria covered their mouths in surprise, the old mayor was even more startled and almost fell to the ground, Captain Allen looked at the dead tree in a daze, and then looked at Eugen's back, and his eyes looked like a monster.
Only Eugen, with a smug expression on his face, said with a smile: "Hehe, that's right, this is the power that I invented Eugen-style musket, which really has." ”
"Oh, my God......" the old mayor let out a hoarse exclamation and muttered, "This is a musket?" Is this still a musket? ”
The veteran, who had twenty years of shooting experience, lowered his head and stared blankly at the rifle in his hand, looking at the familiar but unfamiliar shape, and for the first time felt that he did not understand what a musket was.
"That's amazing! That yellow bullet thing, called a bullet, has such a great power, Eugen, you are really amazing!! Margaret jumped up even more excitedly, just replaced the gunpowder with bullets, and it had such an effect, Margaret couldn't understand the truth at all.
However, this is something that Eugen designed alone, and Margaret is also a woman who thinks highly of herself, but now, she has been completely impressed by Eugen's ingenuity.
For this reason, Margaret couldn't help but happily leave a fragrant kiss on Eugen's face, as a way to express her inner excitement.
Oggen wanted to kiss one back, but when he saw Maria's murderous gaze next to him, he quickly and wisely stopped the car.
