In fact, if you only talk about the effective range of the Minne rifle, this kind of gun should have an effective range of 400 to 500 meters, which can maintain sufficient power and accuracy, but it is not very easy for the shooter to easily shoot at a single individual target at this distance, even if Liu Wang's marksmanship is very good, it is very difficult to hit a target at such a long distance when he has never undergone special training.

After all, in the past, even if Liu Wang and his team were training regularly, the farthest shooting target was only within 100 steps, and they never thought of aiming at a target 300 meters away, so it was normal to miss a target 300 meters away.

This situation made everyone a little disappointed, but even if they couldn't hit a target three hundred paces away, this new flintlock pistol was still very powerful for them, and it could double their shooting distance at once, which was enough to give them enough advantage on the battlefield.

But Yu Xiaotian still didn't let Liu Wang stop, and said to everyone: "Don't be in a hurry to make a conclusion, Liu Wang's failure to hit a target 300 steps away doesn't mean that this kind of gun can't work!"

I can vouch for it with my head, this gun has a much longer effective range than you think! It is said that it is 300 steps, even if it is 400 steps, as long as it hits, it will still return to the west!

If I don't come up with my estimates, the range of this musket should be about five hundred paces, and I'm talking about the situation that can hit the target with relative certainty!

Even if it is 600 steps away, it is estimated that the projectile fired by this kind of gun can kill people as long as they hit the vital point of the person!

Get a table and chair for Liu Wang, and prepare a sandbag! Try it again! ”

Some people don't believe Yu Xiaotian's words, he can still hit people four hundred steps away, what has become of this musket? You must know that the six-pounder and twelve-pounder cannons they are using now are not counting the twelve-pounder cannons, and the effective firing range at sea is also set to be within four hundred paces, and when they are on land, they can only hit the cannonballs at a distance of two miles, which is already quite terrifying, even if it is the Hongyi cannon of the Ming army on land, it may not be able to hit so far.

And Yu Xiaotian said that this kind of musket can kill people six hundred paces away, but they really don't believe it very much.

When someone went to find tables and chairs and prepared sandbags, Yu Xiaotian simply went to find a bunch of wooden planks in order to prove his words, ran to five hundred steps away, arranged the planks densely, and erected them into a wooden wall, this target is big enough, five hundred steps away, it is about a mile, although I don't dare to guarantee that it can accurately hit the target of human body size, but hitting this wooden wall, there should be no problem.

After a while, everything was ready, someone brought a rough wooden table and a chair, and a small sandbag was also placed on the table, Yu Xiaotian asked Liu Wang to reload again, and then sat on the chair, put the gun on the sandbag on the table, and carried out a relying aiming shot.

Because of the structural problems of muskets in this era, muskets must be loaded standing up, so musketeers mostly use standing posture shooting, at most they use semi-squatting shooting methods, and more muskets because of the range accuracy limitations, they must rely on the volley of guns to ensure the lethality of muskets, and shoot with dense bullets to kill and injure enemy personnel, so relying on shooting is not taken seriously.

However, the stability of relying on shooting is incomparable with other shooting methods, just now Liu Wang because he used a standing shooting method, it is difficult to effectively aim at the target at a long distance, so if he wants to shoot accurately from 300 meters away, even if he uses a sniper rifle from later generations, it will take a long time to train, not to mention the use of standing shooting without support.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian asked Liu Wang to change to a seated position to shoot, which can effectively improve the shooting accuracy, and if he aims carefully, he should still be able to hit a static target 300 meters away.

Liu Wang had calmed down at this time, worked hard to adjust his state, and according to Yu Xiaotian's instructions, he put the gun on the sandbag, and began to aim carefully again.

With a crisp gunshot, everyone took out their monoculars and began to observe the humanoid target three hundred meters away.

Soon a soldier who reported the target appeared on the target in the distance, and after observing the target, he waved a small green flag, and everyone immediately exclaimed.

The small green flag represents the target of the shooter, so it means that Liu Wang's shot still hit the target 300 meters away, and everyone was even more surprised.

The soldier who reported the target rushed back panting, and carried the target back, and everyone immediately surrounded it and began to inspect the target that had been sent.

On this humanoid target, there was a bullet hole that was not too big, and the Mine bullet hit the target below the left shoulder, some distance from the white dot of the ten rings in the center.

But although he failed to hit the ten rings, but three hundred meters away, he was able to hit this target, and everyone was very satisfied, which shows that Liu Wang is indeed quite talented, and in a short period of time, he basically mastered the performance of this new gun, and immediately improved his accuracy after switching to relying on shooting.

After everyone was amazed, they found that after the gun bomb hit the wooden target 300 meters away, it still effectively penetrated the wooden target, and according to the target man, after the target was penetrated, although the gun bomb failed to penetrate the second layer of wooden target, it was still embedded deep in the wooden plank, and almost almost penetrated the second wooden target.

Everyone exclaimed again, three hundred steps away, this new gun still has such a great power, it can still effectively penetrate ordinary iron armor at this distance, not to mention leather armor, the storage energy of the bullet at this distance is still quite powerful, at this time they began to believe in Yu Xiaotian's words a little.

Compared with the old flintlock pistol, the power and accuracy of this new gun and the range have not been doubled or doubled, and after adding these engraved lines in the chamber, the performance of this gun can be said to be a reborn improvement compared to the performance of the smoothbore gun.

Meng Fei exclaimed again: "My God! What is this? Why is it so powerful! I never dared to think that a musket could be so sharp, if the officers and soldiers had this thing, they would not be able to fight this battle in the future! If you can't see people, you will be beaten to death!

Fortunately, this thing is ours, I don't want to meet such a powerful guy in front of the battle in my life, and if we have this guy in the future, who are we afraid of! His grandmother's, how many of them let the horses come, as long as we have this thing, we are afraid of them! Far away can cut them down piece by piece!

By the way, isn't Jiannu powerful? Aren't they called invincible in mounted archery? It's still a dead word for us! ……”

The others also nodded yes, and at this moment everyone showed shocked and excited expressions on their faces, holding the three new guns one by one, they couldn't put it down.

Yu Xiaotian also personally took a new gun and loaded it with his hands, and then Meng Fei made a shot, and Liu Tong also took the one he used just now from Liu Wang's hand, and the three of them all raised their guns and shot at the wooden wall five hundred steps away, and then each loaded it and shot at the target one hundred steps away.

After a few shots, the target reporter reported that all three of them had hit a 100-meter humanoid target, all of which had penetrated three layers of wooden planks, but only one bullet hit an eight-ring shot, and the remaining two hit the lower abdomen of the humanoid target, and one shot hit the shoulder of the humanoid target.

Although their shooting accuracy is not as good as Liu Wang's, but after all, they are all people who have been playing with guns for a long time, and their accuracy is not bad, if they were asked to shoot at targets a hundred paces away with an old-fashioned smoothbore flintlock pistol, none of the three of them dared to say that they could hit the target, but today they used this new gun, but they all easily hit the target.

The crowd was overjoyed, and lowered their guns and walked towards the plank wall five hundred paces away.

After they walked in front of the plank wall, they began to find bullet holes in the plank wall, and after some inspection, they only found two bullet holes in the plank, and the other one was shot by someone who did not know who hit the road, and the son did not know where the bullet flew to the road.

Yu Xiaotian felt that one of the two bullet holes in the target, there was one of his, and after a careful observation, he felt that the effective range of this newly created Minne rifle could only reach so far, at this distance, the Minne bullet still had a certain amount of storage energy, which could kill and injure people, but the penetration had been attenuated a lot, and the two warheads did not effectively penetrate the plank, but the deeper one was embedded in the plank, such a power can only be slightly lethal to unprotected targets.

If the other party wears iron armor, then it is estimated that the iron armor cannot be penetrated at this distance, but the leather armor can still barely penetrate, but after penetrating the leather armor, the killing of people has been reduced to a low level.

Just at this distance, if you want to hit a target the size of a single human body, the requirements for the shooter are quite high, even if it is a modern rifle of later generations, it is difficult to effectively hit the target at this distance, the shooter has to go through a long time of training to improve the hit rate, and even add a scope to assist in aiming, in order to ensure accuracy.

And now this newly made flintlock rifled rifle still uses black powder, and the accuracy of the projectile is certainly not as good as the accuracy of the bullet warhead of later generations.

However, if you use a supported shot, the top shooter still has a high probability that he can effectively hit a target of about 300 meters, and if his character explodes, he may even hit a living target of about 400 meters.

So far, the first test firing of the new gun is almost over, but everyone is still unsatisfied, and they still take turns to test fire these three new guns.
