Chapter 235: Test firing of rifled guns

In anticipation of the soldiers, rifled guns were quickly issued to every sharpshooter.

A rifled gun is different from a smoothbore gun in that it has five spiral lines on the inside of the barrel, and when you look at the muzzle with your eyes, you can see that the rotating threads converge deep into a dark singularity.

"This is a rifled gun, it feels a little smaller." The orcs had seen twenty-millimeter large-caliber smoothbore guns, and this time they saw the twelve-millimeter rifled muzzle, showing a suspicious expression.

A large caliber is justice, and a long range is the truth.

I don't know when this sentence spread in the army, causing the orcs to have a common understanding - big caliber is awesome.

"Each person is free to test five rounds of ammunition."

"Report sir, isn't five rounds too few, can't you have more?"

"No, there aren't enough bullets, they can't be wasted." Ivan's eyes widened in anger and he replied to these orcs who wanted to shoot more.

Arsenals produce thousands of rounds of ammunition every day, including round lead bullets for smoothbore guns and mini rounds for rifled guns.

Spread it out, the number of training shots the soldiers every day is really not much.

After Ivan got the rifled gun, needless to say, he had already fallen to the ground, adjusting his emotions with his breathing, and then feeding back to his breath when his emotions settled down, so that his hands would not tremble so much.

It's a gift, and he's learned the advantages of racial talent when using a smoothbore gun.

Any awakened orc can learn to control his body finely in a short period of time, so that the frequency of body trembling decreases.

There are even times when you can make your hands as iron without the slightest movement.

At this time, if you estimate the ballistic landing point by hand feeling, the probability of a 70-meter headshot is very high.

After a while, Ivan felt that the world was quiet, and there was only a hundred-meter target in his eyes.

The reason why the 70-meter target was not chosen was because the rifled gun was a new gun, and if the new gun could not blow off the head of the 100-meter target, then it would be meaningless.

Multiply.

The powder chamber burned, and the violent thrust squeezed the Mini bullet forward, and the lead bullet began to deform due to the extrusion, and it rotated rapidly against the rifling, and swooped out of the muzzle, breaking through the air in a spiral.

In the next second, there was an extra hole in the red heart of the 100-meter target in the distance.

It didn't take the orcs to confirm it personally, Ivan knew that he had hit the bull's-eye, and it was a red-centered target.

"There are four more shots, and this time the shot is one meter and fifty meters." Ivan was very careful with this new gun, which was a great weapon on the battlefield in the future.

Bang bang gunshots rang out around him, and the elite orcs all hit the target.

Ivan used his perfect vision to observe other people's targets, from one hundred meters to one hundred and fifty meters, the target was shot, except for more than thirty orcs who did not hit the heart, the other orcs did not bounce and hit the heart.

Ivan, who wanted to shoot a 150-meter target, was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems that I underestimated the power of the rifled gun, and it is not a problem to shoot at a target of 200 meters." ”

The people around him are always sharpshooters, and it is naturally not difficult for the gun to hit the target, but the terrible thing is that none of the guns miss the target, which shows that the trajectory of the rifled gun is very stable.

You must know that the shooting of the smoothbore gun before was very metaphysical, and the bullet came out of the muzzle, and it may change at any time.

This sudden change is explained in detail in the physics book, Ivan is not a brainless orc, he is not absent from every class of Allen's classes, carefully absorbs Allen's teachings, understands what aerodynamics is, and knows that bullets rotate in the air.

The bullet starts along the rifling, which increases the lateral force, which just strengthens the rotation ability of the bullet, while the conical arc bullet perfectly uses the principle of air flow to increase aerodynamic stability and keep the bullet from instability.

Ivan froze and couldn't help but laugh.

It's really a bit strange to recall physics knowledge in his mind before shooting, but in front of the first committee, Ivan only thinks about the farm work in the field.

Learning those physics knowledge does not make the bullet more obedient, the key is to rely on his hands to stabilize and make the shooting error smaller.

"Target 200 meters to try ......"

Ivan switched the target and chose the 200-meter target.

After ten seconds of calm breathing, he ignored the burst of gunfire in his ears and pressed the trigger.

Bang!

200-meter target, seven rings!

This time it didn't hit the center of the red circle, but the shot made Ivan very happy.

"The rifled gun really lives up to its name!"

Five bullets are not much, and in order not to waste bullets, the orcs aim each bullet for a long time, feel the trajectory of the bullet, feel the wind direction and speed in the air, and precisely adjust the angle of the next shot.

After a shot, the orcs shot out of today's test shot and stood up to brag about how good they were for their companions.

"Haha, I don't know if you saw it, I just shot the red heart of the 300-meter target!"

"It's luck, I didn't hit the heart in four rounds!"

"Anyway, does anyone know the longest-range range of a rifled gun, I just shot a ring of a 500-meter target." Ivan shot the last bullet and risked shooting 500 meters, but unexpectedly succeeded.

This made his heart pound, and he felt that there was still a huge room for improvement in his marksmanship.

Among the orcs, a young man who shot a 400-meter target wanted to show off, but when he heard that Chief Ivan had shot a 500-meter target, his good mood disappeared for a while.

"Let's take a look at Lord Allen, his marksmanship is top-notch." The orcs didn't have an answer and turned to look at Allen.

Allen's marksmanship is very powerful, the last time he defended the city, the 300-meter headshot left a legendary record, and so far there is no record of orcs using a smoothbore gun to blow up a 300-meter headshot, not to mention a moving target headshot record, which is terrifying.

Sharpshooters have studied physics and know how incredible it is to shoot a 300-meter target in the head with a smoothbore gun, and Allen is as great as a god in their eyes anyway.

At this moment, Alan stood up, took the rifled gun brought by the orc, and after loading it with gunpowder and bullets, he slowly raised the gun flat, not lying on the ground, quite confident.
