Chapter Twenty-Eight: Test the Gun

Oriental textile mill, blacksmith's house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

A few days ago, Zhao Zuolin took a lot of drawings from Zhang Feng, these drawings are naturally the design drawings of the flintlock musket, not only the design drawings of each part, but also the assembly drawings of the musket, of course, Zhao Zuolin attaches great importance to these drawings, and carefully puts them away every time he uses them.

Confidentiality is very important, the craftsmen in the blacksmith room are still more reassuring, and everyone knows the importance of confidentiality, and everyone will not go out and talk nonsense.

The parts of the first sample gun were basically built, and Zhao Zuolin took the vernier caliper and checked the dimensions of each part in person against the design drawings.

Next to it, there are three well-made barrels, all of which were built by Zhao Zuolin himself, and I have to say that the quality of the construction is very good.

Zhang Feng paid attention to the progress of the construction of this first flintlock musket every day, and knew that the parts were basically completed, so Zhang Feng personally came to the blacksmith's room.

Seeing Zhang Feng coming in, Zhao Zuolin got up and said, "Boss, you are here in person." ”

Zhang Feng nodded and said, "This is our first musket, I can't come if I don't come, how about it?" Can it be assembled? ”

Zhao Zuolin said: "Boss, all the parts have been built, even the butt sent by the carpenter's house has been built, you see." ”

Zhang Feng picked up the wooden butt and looked at it, the butt was beautifully made, and it was painted with varnish, which was very good, and then picked up a few barrels and looked at it, the quality was also good.

Zhang Feng said: "Lao Zhao, the craftsmanship is good, you can create such a good quality barrel by hand, I am impressed by you." ”

Zhao Zuolin smiled happily, and then said, "Boss, all the parts are ready, let's start assembling." ”

Zhang Feng said: "You can start assembling, but what about the bayonet on this gun?" ”

Zhao Zuolin said: "The bayonet has been built, Xiao Liu is sharpening the knife, sharpen the bayonet, and we can install it after sharpening." ”

Zhao Zuolin did it himself, Zhang Feng guided by the side, and it took more than half an hour for the first flintlock pistol to be assembled.

Holding this gun, Zhang Feng was happy in his heart, who doesn't like guns, after taking this gun and looking at it, Zhang Feng said loudly: "Lao Zhao, let's try the gun!" ”

After working hard for several days, Zhao Zuolin also wanted to see how this gun was, so Zhao Zuolin also said loudly: "Okay, let's go test the gun!" ”

Zhang Feng held the gun, Zhao Zuolin followed, and the two went out of the blacksmith room and out of the Oriental Textile Factory.

……

Koaoyama.

There are many plains in the area of Songjiang Prefecture, the terrain is flat, and there are relatively few peaks, but it is not nothing, Xiaoqingshan is located in the northeast of Songjiang Prefecture, about ten miles away from the city, and it takes more than an hour to walk, and it will not take long to ride a horse.

At the foot of the mountain, it was flat, and it was originally barren and remote, but not long ago, it was bought by Zhang Feng, close to the foot of the mountain, and was under construction.

Here, what Zhang Feng built is a large barracks, which will be a large military barracks, covering an area of several hundred acres, not only a number of large training grounds, but also at least a dozen barracks.

Of course, such a large camp cannot be built all at once, and even if Zhang Feng has sufficient financial resources, it will take at least several months to build.

Wang Chaoyong arrived here a few days ago with 200 security guards and lived in the first barracks that was built first.

Zhang Feng has naturally seen the barracks of the army in later generations, and these barracks were all designed by Zhang Feng himself, just because there is no reinforced concrete, they are all one-story brick barracks.

The place is empty, the place is big enough, just for testing the gun, no, at the foot of the mountain, everyone is standing together, Wang Chaoyong is personally loading the medicine, preparing to test the gun.

In the distance, according to Zhang Feng's request, several target positions have been erected, and the distances are 30 meters, 50 meters, and 100 meters respectively.

Wang Chaoyong had played with arquebuses before, and the flintlock pistol was naturally the first time, but with the experience of using an arquebus, the flintlock pistol was not difficult for Wang Chaoyong.

On the contrary, seeing this flintlock pistol, Wang Chaoyong was inexplicably excited, and Wang Chaoyong had already seen that this gun was much more advanced than the arquebuses he had seen before.

Wang Chaoyong said: "Boss, how did you come up with this thing called paper shell bullet, it's really convenient, it's much more convenient than the previous arquebus charge." ”

Gunpowder naturally still uses black powder, and Zhang Feng naturally knows the manufacturing method of smokeless gunpowder, but it can't be made yet, so he can only use black powder.

As a crossing man, he naturally knows the production and use of paper shell bullets, using kraft paper soaked in butter, rolled into a cylindrical paper tube slightly smaller than the barrel, and the small paper tube is filled with black powder, which is the paper shell bullet.

The warhead is cast in lead, and together with the paper shell bullet, the two constitute a bullet, the modern bullet shell is a copper bullet case, a metal bullet, and the bullet shell designed by Zhang Feng is a paper bullet case, and the warhead is lead.

This is a bit like a modern bullet, no wonder Wang Chaoyong praised again and again, how did this paper shell bullet come up with, it is very convenient and fast to load.

Wang Chaoyong quickly loaded the paper shell bullets, aimed at the front with the gun, and said to Zhang Feng: "Boss, hit that target first." ”

Zhang Feng said: "From near to far, hit the target that is close first." ”

"Great!"

Wang Chaoyong took aim with a gun, and there were many security guards around, everyone looked at the musket in Wang Chaoyong's hand, obviously, everyone also wanted to come up and fire a shot to give it a try.

In everyone's eyes, Wang Chaoyong decisively pulled the trigger after aiming at the 30-meter target, and a loud sound sounded, and many people were startled.

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out, and immediately, the smoke rose up, and the smoke was large, which was one of the shortcomings of the black flame, but everyone didn't care about the smoke, and everyone looked at the target not far away.

"Go and carry the target."

Soon, a security guard ran over and carried the target over, and when everyone saw this target, many people gasped, this, this is too powerful!

The target is made of an inch-thick wooden plank, with a circle of rings on it, and the bullseye position is bright red round, which looks a bit like a modern target.

Everyone was not surprised that Wang Chaoyong's shot hit the position of the seventh ring, but that the entire target was pierced, making a fist-sized hole.

"My boy!"

"If this shot hits the head, it won't blow the head to pieces in one shot!"

"Tsk, that's amazing!"

“…....”

Wang Chaoyong was also happy for a while, and didn't think that the power of this gun was so great, and suddenly, he said to Zhang Feng: "Boss, this gun belongs to me, how about it." ”

Zhang Feng scolded with a smile: "Wang Chaoyong, look at your little talent, I will blush for you." ”

Wang Chaoyong was stupid and scratched his head.

Zhang Feng said: "Hurry up and try the gun, hit the 50-meter target, and then hit the 100-meter target, if you want to play with the gun, wait until the target is finished, Lao Zhao has more than 100 bullets there." ”

Hearing that there were more than 100 bullets, Wang Chaoyong's eyes lit up, looked at Zhao Zuolin and said, "Old Zhao, is it true?" ”

Zhao Zuolin patted his bag lightly and said, "The boss is right, there are more than 100 bullets in this bag, which is enough for you to fight." ”

"Great, this time it's fun." Wang Chaoyong thought that there were more than 100 rounds of ammunition, and he immediately became motivated, immediately loaded the bullets again, and began to test the gun again, aiming at the 50-meter target and shooting.

"Bang!"

Another gunshot rang out, Wang Chaoyong hit the target at a distance of fifty meters, and without Zhang Feng's command, a security guard immediately went to carry the target over.

Perhaps because of the distance, this shot hit the position of the Nine Rings, and also pierced the one-inch-thick target, although there was no fist-sized hole in the pierced position, but at least half the size of a fist.

Powerful!

Zhang Feng was more satisfied, and then ordered Wang Chaoyong to continue to test the gun, aiming at the 100-meter target and shooting, and soon, the gunfire rang out again!

"Bang!"

After the gunshots rang out, one of the security guards quickly carried the target over, and when everyone looked at the target, they were puzzled for a while, and they all looked at Wang Chaoyong, Wang Chaoyong's old face was red, and he said curtly: "I missed it." ”

It is indeed missed, that is, it is off target, Zhang Feng is nothing, knowing that this is normal, because it is a smoothbore gun, the shooting accuracy naturally cannot be compared with the rifled gun, and the distance of 100 meters to hit the target is a little reluctant.

Wang Chaoyong said: "Boss, I'll try again." ”

Zhang Feng nodded, Zhang Feng also wanted to see if this musket could hit a target at a distance of 100 meters.

Wang Chaoyong reloaded the ammunition, took aim again, aimed carefully, and after feeling foolproof, Wang Chaoyong pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out, Wang Chaoyong put down the gun, ran over and carried the target back, this time he did not miss the target, and hit a little outside the Ten Rings.

"The target was also pierced at such a distance."

"It's an inch thick plank!"

“……”

The target was successfully penetrated, Zhang Feng nodded with satisfaction, judging from this shot, it still has good lethality at a position of 100 meters.

Not bad, not bad!

Zhang Feng said happily: "Chao Yong, this gun is handed over to you for the time being, your task in the next few days is to test the gun, and finish all the more than 100 bullets, of course, all the problems found in the process of testing the gun must be told to me." ”

On the one hand, the test gun is to try the performance of the gun, and the more important aspect is to test it to see if there is anything that needs to be improved and improved in the design and manufacturing process.

The beauty of testing the gun, Wang Chaoyong naturally agreed happily.

Wang Chaoyong not only happily agreed, maybe the test gun will definitely be "done by himself", and the more than 100 rounds of ammunition will definitely be covered by Wang Chaoyong alone.

Zhang Feng naturally knew that Wang Chaoyong was careful about this, and he didn't say anything, if you like to shoot guns, then shoot, it won't be long before the first batch of muskets will be produced, and then other security guards will also have guns to use.
