Chapter 311: Tachibana Strikes Girl Early?
The main improvement of the electric gun compared with the arquebus is in the firing method, no longer need to drag the long fire rope, install the gunpowder, bullets and fire skin in advance, pull the trigger when using, and the hammer can be fired by smashing the fire skin, which has the ability of "first rapid fire".
The process of loading the barrel and the pistol was repeated, and the rate of fire was only slightly faster than that of the arquebus, which was the reason for the use of paper shells for the gunpowder.
In fact, this thing is similar to the earthen gun used by the gangsters in later generations, and there is still a big gap between five consecutive shots, but after all, it was hundreds of years ago, there was no machine tool, no modern chemical industry, no bullets with metal cartridges, no rifling of the barrel, and no magazines.
Originally, there was a kind of flintlock pistol, like an old-fashioned lighter, the steel sheet hit the flint to ignite, compared with the stun gun can make a piece of fire skin less, but the flintlock pistol and the arquebus also need to be loaded with primer powder in the medicine pool, which will leak out during the carrying, and must be loaded with priming powder when it is used, and it cannot be "first rapid fire".
In addition, the success rate of flint striking fire is much lower than that of the fire skin, just like the old-fashioned flint and steel lighter often needs to be lit after a few clicks, and the lighter is just a cigarette, of course, it doesn't matter, and the chain that can be used at the critical moment of the gun is fatal, so it is not used.
"Hmph, Lao Tzu finally has a gun!" Qin Lin personally picked up a paper shell bullet and a stun gun, tore open the paper bullet case, poured gunpowder into the barrel from the muzzle, and then stuffed the lead bullet wrapped in oil paper into it, pressed it with a strip, and finally ripped off the fire skin stuck to the butt of the paper bullet case, placed it in the medicine pool, covered the medicine pool, and completed the loading work.
The lid of the medicine pool was closed, and if the hammer was not wrenched, it was equivalent to insurance, so Qin Lin pinned the electric gun that was in a state of reloading and ready to fire to his waist, and staggered two steps, feeling that although it was longer than the pistol he used before, it was basically not in the way.
It just so happened that the four commanders of Zhou, Wu, and Zheng also walked in, and when they saw Qin Lin pinning a short gun to his waist, they all smiled and said that there was still a fire rope missing.
Zhou Jinzhong is the most clever, knowing that Qin Lin may be the grandson of the country in the future, he hurriedly came to the knot, looked for the fire rope, and wanted to light it for Qin Lin to install on the gun.
"Haha, this official doesn't want arquebus!" As he spoke, Qin Lin quickly pulled out the gun, pulled the hammer and automatically opened the lid of the medicine pool, and pulled the trigger when he aimed at a flower pot.
The muzzle of the gun flashed, and only a bang of gunfire could be heard, and the flower pot shattered in response, and the fragments splashed far and near, obviously powerful.
The four commanders were taken aback, although Tian Cewei and other Jingwei did not use firearms, they had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run, and they were familiar with what kind of generals' barrels, magic guns, and shotguns, and they had never seen guns that could be pulled out.
"I think that at the beginning, Lao Tzu's team had just opened, and there were only a dozen people and seven or eight guns...... Qin Lin's heart was happy, and while singing a small song, he blew the white smoke curling from the muzzle of the gun very windy.
However, there are more arrogant people than him, Xu Xinyi walked out with long legs, brandished two guns, and pointed at the four commanders: "Oh, where did the thieves come from, don't surrender quickly!" ”
Zheng Siren was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged around: "The eldest lady can't help it, the markers are still mortals, and if you get a shot, you won't be able to serve the grandfather and the eldest lady......"
"Hey, hey," Qin Lin looked at Xu Xinyi helplessly: "I heard you fired two shots just now, so there shouldn't be any bullets in the gun now, right?" ”
Xu Xinyi stuck out his tongue mischievously: "It's really disappointing, I'm kidding." ”
Qin Lin said with a serious face: "Whether there are bullets or not, the muzzle of the gun can't be pointed at people." This is not allowed in the future, and you see these chiefs......"
"Okay, okay," Xu Xinyi rolled his eyes and said to the four commanders, "Generals, I'm sorry, Miss Ben won't scare you with a gun again." ”
The four kings of Zhou, Wu, and Zheng were afraid that this lawless eldest lady would really shoot just now, so they hid extremely embarrassed, prostrate on the ground one by one, and the silver helmets rolled down.
Now Qin Lin said that the eldest lady turned over and apologized, and several people were really grateful, and said to Xu Xinyi how dare they dare to do it, and their eyes looked at Qin Lin and said thank you.
Martial artists have an almost instinctive enthusiasm for weapons, even if Sijingwei does not use firearms much, Zhou Jinzhong and others still have a strong interest in the electric gun, and gather around to ask why this gun does not use a fire rope, why it can be drawn and fired.
Qin Lin explained the principles one by one, and the generals listened to them with relish, but when they knew that the speed of the second and third rounds of this electric gun was not much faster than that of a bird gun, and the effective range was only forty paces, they immediately lost interest.
Qin Lin smiled dumbly, it seems that these Jingwei commanders are quite strict and orderly in leading troops to fight, but in order to be only a Chinese in the way of generals, it is too far to catch up with Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, who are good generals with unique vision, and can only follow the step-by-step process.
Like this electric gun, it is used by Jinyi Wei to hunt down and destroy evil and rebel bandits, as long as it is far superior to the hidden weapon of the Jianghu people, it is not a weapon for going into battle, so the barrel is short and lightweight, which is equivalent to the pistol of later generations, and the range is short.
As long as the barrel is added to the length of the shotgun, it has the same power and faster rate of fire, eliminating the need to carry large coils of fire and reducing the burden on the soldiers.
In addition, when a shotgun encounters a strong wind, the powder powder in the medicine pool will be blown away and cannot ignite, and of course, it cannot be used when riding a horse; In addition, in case of heavy rain, the fire rope will be wet by the rain and cannot be used.
The electric gun is to hit the fire skin to cause fire, the fire skin is placed under the lid of the medicine pool, will not be blown by the wind and rain, and can be fired normally when galloping on wind and rain and horseback, which is greatly better than the bird gun.
Several commanders could not see these advantages, nor could they think that lengthening the barrel could increase the firing range and be suitable for battlefield use, which was a bit mediocre.
Bi Maokang and Li Huowang were not convinced, Li Huowang did not dare to argue with the commander of Zheng Sanpin, and Lao Bi puffed his cheeks and wanted to explain the reason.
Qin Lin winked and told him not to say it.
Xu Xinyi likes to use the electric gun very much, and said unconvinced: "Ha, what's the range of the shortest, just pull out the gun and fight, how majestic?" Like the original shotgun, slowly loading bullets, gunpowder, and primers, you have to work hard to light the arquebus before firing the first shot, it really takes the old man's nose to work hard, how can Qin Lin's gun come quickly? ”
Eh~~ Qin Lin touched his nose, thinking that Miss Xu's last sentence seemed to be a little ambiguous...... "That's, that's", the commanding envoys nodded their heads, they will always support and approve of the eldest lady, and there will never be half a sentence to refute.
After Xu Xinyi finished speaking, he stared at Qin Lin in a "daze", and his fleshy little mouth smiled very kindly: "Qin Lin, we are friends, right?" ”
Qin Lin nodded.
"Friends have the right to make money, right?"
Qin Lin nodded again.
"Then bring me two hundred of these stun guns, and let the female soldiers and sisters equip two of them, no problem, right?"
Qin Lin still wanted to nod, but his neck froze: "Two, two hundred?!" ”
"Chief Qin, be generous~~" Shi Jian and her female soldiers, a large number of Yingying Yanyan, who doesn't like red makeup and loves arms, surrounded her, "In the future, Chief Qin will also be our commander, so it's natural to send some ordnance in advance!" ”
Hey, what do you say? Xu Xinyi blushed and couldn't stop it, how could Qin Lin also be your chief in the future? Speak like Miss Ben...... The female soldiers made Qin Lin dizzy.
The Women's Army is amazing!
"Good, good!" Qin Lin reluctantly agreed to this request, leaving fifteen stun guns for himself and the captains of the pro-soldiers, and the rest of the brains were given to Xu Xinyi's women's army - there were only twenty, which were snatched by the female soldiers.
Luckily, the stun gun was made very quickly.
In this era, there was no drilling machine, and it was most difficult to drill the barrel by hand, and the barrel of a shotgun took a craftsman a month to drill, which was much simpler than making a medicine pool and a trigger.
The length of the barrel of the stun gun is only one-third of that of a shotgun, and theoretically it takes only ten days, but in fact, because the barrel is shorter, the difficulty of manufacturing and the scrap rate are greatly reduced, so one can be made in two days.
Under the silver power of the women's army, Qin Lin promised to give priority to equipping them with the electric pistols he made, anyway, his pro-soldier team only had one.
The female soldiers were reluctant to bring long shotguns and large bundles of fire ropes wrapped around their bodies, but this small and cute electric gun was a scramble for everyone, and Xu Xinyi personally assigned it to pick out the first batch of equipment for twenty female soldiers.
These female soldiers all look good, and they look very heroic in their uniforms, and they pinch the stun gun to their waists, which makes them even more heroic.
"Damn, isn't this a Tachibana early strike girl?" Qin Lin looked at Xu Xinyi, who was standing with two guns in his hand, and secretly wondered if this was the legendary Sister Cannon?
"Qin Lin, enough buddy! Don't bother you to go see Qingdai, Xiao Biesheng is newly married, wahahaha......" Miss Xu patted Qin Lin's shoulder very freely, she got what she wanted, and after saying goodbye, she led the female soldiers to roar away.
Xu Xinyi, this guy...... Qin Lin touched his nose and shook his head, immediately understanding that Wei Guogong and the little grandfather were in such a hurry to marry her off for Mao.
Dagongfang Wei State Mansion, Xu Bangrui and Xu Weizhi father and son exchanged tears: Qin Lin, you are really my father and son's bosom friend!
Qin Lin also asked Bi Maokang to draw a pattern of the electric gun, write the recipe for the fire skin, and send people to contact the newly established merchant inn of Wufeng Maritime Merchants in Nanjing, so that they could make new muskets and train new musket troops.
Wufeng Maritime Merchants have a large number of craftsmen who can make Franc machines and bird guns, and Qin Lin doesn't have to bother making them according to the drawings, of course, they want to make the barrel as long as a shotgun.
Qin Lin also gave a name to the new musket in the shape of a spear: the Thunderbolt Gun.
"It turns out that Chief Qin actually has a strange army on the East Ocean Sea!" Bi Maokang was surprised and admired, he is so old like Qin Lin, and he doesn't know how to stir up the world in the future!
