Chapter Seventy-Three: Shocking the Four
Usually Liu Wang has been following Yu Xiaotian, from Yu Xiaotiankou learned a lot of new terms and a lot of new concepts, the term ballistics is not unfamiliar to him, he has learned from Yu Xiaotian's mouth, what ballistics are, and understand the impact of projectiles during the flight.
Under normal circumstances, the projectile will be affected by the gravitational pull of the earth during flight, gradually reduce its altitude, and draw an arc in the air until it falls on the ground.
Moreover, the projectile will be affected by various factors on the way to flight, such as air pressure, air temperature, air humidity, wind direction and wind force, but the main impact is still on the earth's gravity.
Liu Wang followed Yu Xiaotian every day, and naturally understood these things, and the moon came first near the water, so when he practiced shooting, he would naturally shoot more accurately, not to mention that the flintlock pistol he used was selected from thousands of flintlock pistols, so it is not surprising that he hit accurately.
Liu Wang muttered while reloading again, raising his gun to aim at a target a hundred steps away, Yu Xiaotian of course knew what his problem was, stood aside and smiled without saying a word, watching Liu Wang raise his gun and shoot again.
I heard another bang, and the target reporter a hundred paces away shouted again: "Hit, or head, or three vertical targets have been shot through!" ”
Everyone was shocked at this moment, if Liu Wang's first shot hit the head position of the neutral target, it belonged to the luck of walking shit, then the second shot hit the head position of the target again, then it can't be said that he was walking shit luck, which fully proves that the accuracy of this gun is amazing, and it is completely easy to hit the target a hundred steps away.
In addition, the power of this gun is indeed amazing, and there is no element of luck, it can indeed easily penetrate the enemy's iron armor and kill the target from a distance of 100 meters.
If such a gun is put into use in large quantities, it will be too powerful, Meng Fei, Fang An and others immediately realized the benefits of this kind of gun, and they all cheered with excitement on their faces, this gun completely solved the problem of the short range of the flintlock pistol they used before, and once again greatly increased in power.
If they face off against the enemy in the future, when both sides use muskets, the sea wolf's men can easily shoot the enemy at a distance of 100 meters, without waiting for the opponent to shoot, but the enemy is still out of reach of them at this time, and when the battle starts again, it will be much easier, and it is almost easy to defeat the enemy, but their own side does not have to suffer much loss.
Such a good thing, how could they not be excited, so they gathered around one after another, and began to check the three flintlock pistols again, the difference from other flintlock pistols, and it was only at this time that Meng Fei and Liu Tong discovered the mystery in the chamber.
So he exclaimed, "Huh? Why isn't the inside of the barrel of these muskets the way it used to be? How many more slots! What is this? Why are there so many more wire slots that the gun can be fired accurately? How much more power has it added? ”
Liu Wang muttered on the side at this time: "It's weird! Weird! I still aimed at the chest this time, why did I hit the head again? Could it be that the ballistics of this gun are really very flat?
Spread out, I'll shoot again, this time I'll aim a little lower! ”
After another gunshot, the target reporter shouted, "Chest! Ten rings! All three layers of targets are penetrated! ”
At this time, Liu Wang understood, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "Wow! Ha Lu Ha! This gun is so powerful, the gun actually fell from a hundred meters away, it really means where to shoot! I understand! Ha Lu Ha! Good gun, what a gun! ”
Yu Xiaotian was very satisfied with Liu Wang's performance, this guy does have a talent for shooting, a hundred meters away, let him now, hit the target with this kind of Migne gun, he thinks that the problem should not be big, but to ensure that he hits the ten rings, he will not have this confidence.
Just now he had observed the impact point of Liu Wang's shot through the telescope, although the first two bullets hit high and hit the head position, but the landing point was only high, but it did not deviate from left and right, if the two bullets were lowered, they would also fall within the Ten Ring Area.
It's just that Liu Wang is not familiar with the performance of this gun, so there will be mistakes, otherwise, Liu Wang's three guns, basically can be guaranteed, all of them are ten rings, which fully shows that Liu Wang, this kid, usually works hard, masters the mystery of shooting, and controls the influence of the body on shooting accuracy very well.
It seems that this kid will be a personal guard in the future, a little condescending, in the future, this kid should be a shooting instructor, specializing in teaching the sea wolf people to learn shooting, and can also be a sniper, using this Minne rifle, long-range hunting enemies.
Next, Liu Wang once again began to pull the shooting target away, and began to shoot at the target 150 meters and 200 meters away.
After Liu Wang shot at the target of 100 meters, he almost had an understanding of the performance of this gun, and the next shooting was still very accurate, although he did not dare to say that the gun was ten rings, but he basically did not miss the target of the gun, and the dispersion control was also quite good.
This not only shows that Liu Wang's shooting level is quite high, but also shows that the shooting accuracy of this Minne rifle is completely in line with Yu Xiaotian's requirements.
For them, the power and accuracy of this gun has exceeded their perception of the musket, in their opinion, even if the musket is good, it can only hit the target within a hundred paces at best, and the musket will lose its effect if it exceeds a hundred paces.
But the three muskets that Yu Xiaotian took out today completely subverted their general perception of muskets, this kind of musket with grooves in the chamber can actually shoot the bullet so far, and it still maintains considerable power, even at a distance of two hundred steps, this musket still penetrated two layers of wooden targets, and the projectile was embedded in the third layer of wooden targets, failing to penetrate.
However, this kind of power is still quite terrifying, and the power beyond two hundred steps is actually the same as the power of the flintlock pistol they usually use, and even a little exceeded.
This gun can no longer be said to be good, but can be called terrifying, just now they thought that this kind of gun can only be used at a distance of 100 steps, but they didn't expect that it can easily hit 200 steps away, and it is so powerful, which shows that the range of this gun is probably more than that, and it should be able to hit farther, so how far can this guy fight?
At this moment, everyone's curiosity was aroused, and they asked to try the target three hundred steps away again.
Liu Wang took a deep breath, he was also very excited at this moment, and the performance of this gun also shocked him, greatly exceeding his cognition.
You must know that even if it is a lot of cannons used by the Ming Dynasty now, it may not be able to hit 200 steps away, and many broken cannons can't even hit a distance of 50 steps, and the effective range is only 30 or 40 steps, even if it is a heavy artillery like a general's cannon, it can only hit about 200 steps, and the accuracy is gone, and only these new cannons used by Hongyi cannons and sea wolves can fight farther.
If the Sea Wolf is equipped with this new type of flintlock pistol, it can basically be regarded as invincible, even if you don't have a cannon, with this flintlock pistol alone, you can control a considerable distance, and even shoot the enemy's gunner outside the range of the enemy's cannon, this kind of thing is really terrifying.
And the enemy is now the same as they used to, the perception of muskets is almost the same, when the two sides are arrayed, often the distance between the two sides is within 200 paces, and when the opponent does not even have time to line up, they may be killed in front of the battle by the musketeers of the sea wolves, and the platoon of guns is shot, and they are not even given a chance to fight back.
There is also Liu Wang used to be a fighter on the ship, and the fight itself has a task, in addition to observing the situation at sea in the lookout, in the battle, but also to use a musket, find a way to shoot the leader of the enemy ship, if this new musket is used, the fight in the naval battle, you can easily shoot the leader of the enemy ship, this kind of thing can sometimes play a miraculous effect than a cannon, can easily break up the resistance of an enemy ship.
Extending the idea, even if this kind of gun is used on land, it can easily shoot the officers in the enemy army 200 steps away, and can easily disrupt the command of the enemy army, and no matter whose army it is in this era, it often relies on the generals quite a lot, once the general or leader dies, an army may immediately collapse completely, and this gun can basically change the mode of war.
So Liu Wang was also very excited after thinking of these things, and his excited hands were a little trembling at this time, Yu Xiaotian just asked him to test shoot a target three hundred meters away, and Liu Wang's state was obviously not very good at this time.
So he quickly adjusted his emotions and calmed himself down, at this point, he understood better than many people that as a good shooter, he must learn to control his emotions in order to play accurately.
After Liu Wang finished loading again, after some aiming, he began to shoot again, this time the target was the target 300 steps away, and the distance of 300 meters was already very small in the eyes of the human eye, and the human target had become very small, and it was already very difficult to aim.
Therefore, Liu Wang shot three times in a row, all of which ended in misses, which made everyone more or less disappointed.
For Liu Wang's shooting off target, Yu Xiaotian is also expected, although the Minne rifle is powerful, but at present, the Minne rifle they have made is not very perfect, the aiming device on the barrel is only a fixed type of door and crosshair, the door can not be adjusted, and the shooting distance cannot be calibrated, so that the error will be relatively large when aiming.
