"As a result, do you still return to the core question?"

Ji Yuehua murmured softly, and couldn't help but have a wry smile on her face.

Bayi Yonglin's explanation really helped him clear up some of his doubts, and it was of great help to him. However, it also brings him back to the beginning of the problem.

In the final analysis, the reason why he hesitated was because he had a soft spot for sword weapons, but he found that he was really good at bows and arrows, so he caused this dilemma.

(All in all, strike weapons don't have to think about it.) If the difference between different weapons is only that there will be relative gains and losses in response to different situations, then there is no perfect weapon at all. In other words, things like long weapons can also be ruled out, and I really don't like this kind of inconvenient thing! Speaking of which)

"Sister Yonglin, I have one more thing I want to ask you about."

After thinking about the dilemma for a while, in the end, what Ji Yuehua thought of first was something she saw when she was wandering on the street a long time ago.

Seeing that Bayi Yonglin put on a listening look, Ji Yuehua immediately asked, "When I was very young, that is, before moving to the military headquarters. I can't remember the exact date, but when I was walking down the street, I once saw some uniformed police uncles with a black thing around their waists. After asking others, I heard that it was a long-range weapon that would shoot a bullet with a bang as soon as the trigger was pressed. Wouldn't it be more convenient to use a weapon of that kind of instantaneous than a bow and arrow where you have to load the arrow, pull the string, and complete the above steps before you can shoot?"

"Well, that's a good question. If it is to be explained, it must involve the utility of the "allegorical stigma" and the operation of firearms. Let's talk about the latter first. The one you said should be a police pistol, since it was mentioned. Let's take this as an example. ”

As if nodding in approval, Bayi Yonglin put away the dead fish eyes just now, and explained with a gleam in her eyes, "When it comes to the operation principle of the pistol, although there can be a lot of detailed knowledge in detail, it is not difficult to describe it simply. First of all, a pistol is a type of firearm. A bullet is made up of a cartridge case and a warhead. The warhead is used to injure people, and the cartridge case is the part that contains gunpowder. The reason why the bullet is fired is because when the trigger is pressed, the gunpowder inside the bullet is detonated, and in the narrow environment of the barrel, all the energy and gas are turned into propulsion, and then the bullet will shoot out of the barrel and shoot towards the target. Here we can draw two conclusions. First, the bullet is fired from an explosion. And this explosion occurred in the confined space of the barrel. The second point is that the bullet is fired mainly from the impetus of gunpowder, and when the bullet comes out of the barrel and comes into contact with the air, this impetus will be lost at a very fast rate, and when the impetus is exhausted, the bullet will fall naturally on the premise that it does not hit anything, so far, can you understand?"

"Hmm," Ji Yuehua thought for a while, then nodded, "Although the details may not be understood." But it can be imagined in general. ”

"Very good, so I'll move on."

For the narrator. The most frightening thing is that the listener can't keep up with the rhythm, and each step has to spend dozens of minutes to describe carefully, during which you have to constantly cite familiar examples to improve the possibility of the other person's understanding.

Since Ji Yuehua could understand, Bayi Yonglin was also relieved, and continued, "From the two conclusions drawn from the above. We can draw two new questions, or what must be paid attention to. The first thing, because to withstand the explosion of gunpowder, the gun itself must be strong enough. In fact, the barrel could not withstand the force of the explosion. There are many cases where guns and palms blow up together. Even if you are lucky enough to escape when the barrel explodes, losing your weapon in the middle of a battle is a significant problem in itself. The second thing, on the premise that they can inflict real damage on the enemy, the range of the guns is very limited. For example, a lightweight pistol can hardly hit someone from a distance of 100 meters, and its accuracy is questionable, and its lethality will be reduced. If this is the case, if the Calamity Beast is the target object, three more problems arise here. ”

"The first problem, because the bearable range of the barrel is linked to the power of the gun, the more lethal the firearm, the lower the degree of flexibility, for example, the lethality of the fort is indeed very good, but it can't move, and it can't dodge when others hit it, after all, there are long-range attack methods, and it's not just our human side. Needless to say, ineffective weapons are equivalent to living targets!"

"The second problem is that most of the calamities have scale armor, and the impetus generated by the explosion of ordinary metal and gunpowder is not enough to penetrate their shells, and only the low-level calamities will be injured by that kind of thing, and it is difficult to inflict fatal damage even on low-level calamities. In a word, the lethality is insufficient!"

"The third problem is that the size of the calamity beasts varies, the smallest ones have the height of adults, and the larger ones may have the height of three adults. A behemoth like this, with a casual wave of its claws, it can sweep a distance of tens of meters, and without a certain ability, there is not much difference between approaching and committing suicide. But to extend the distance, I also mentioned how far the pistol can be firing. For example, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, etc., or they can be attacked from a relatively safe distance, but rocket artillery only has one shot at a time, and it is troublesome to change ammunition, and I don't need to remind you of the consequences of spending so much time to change ammunition. As for the sniper rifle, I can't imagine it having anything to do with the word "flexible". Besides, once this kind of thing is brought closer, it will be over. When the calamity beast appears, the number is generally several times more than that of our human troops, and it is impossible to ensure that there is no enemy at all close range. Grip. Finish. Certain. Piece. Skill. Yes. Target. Person. It is more feasible to run away with a bow and arrows and fight back. ”

"So, here we can draw a summary of guns or something, for the government's police to use against human thugs, to maintain law and order, and to use it against the calamity beasts, that is a thing of the past. Now, the bow and arrow are the king of ranged weapons! Understood?" (To be continued.) )
