Chapter XXVII: The Slingshot and the Short Spear
After the ghost finished speaking in one breath, the second brother nodded beside him, of course the second brother understands these theoretical knowledge as a mature archer, but the second brother is still ashamed of himself when he tells it systematically and completely like the ghost, after all, the second brother focused on his own learning and training before, but he didn't really be a master, this teaching and learning are really two different things!
After the ghost finished speaking, he reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then looked at us hopefully and asked, "What the teacher said just now, which other child shoes did you understand?" Hurry up and raise your hand, tomorrow we will enter the actual operation, and it is not okay if the theory is not understood."
There was silence below, and the ghost was delighted, "Everyone is really smart!" I've been studying things for years, and you'll understand them all in a moment! Okay, good! It's so nice!"
Looking at the ghost's relieved appearance, after a fierce struggle in my heart, I mustered up the courage to raise a thin finger....
The ghost quickly asked me to ask a question, and I was ashamed: "Nei, Mr. You, you are so wonderful!" So professional! It's so domineering! But... But I don't seem to understand very well, for example, how to choose that wood, how to repair it... And the arrow shaft arrow in the back... When I listened to it, I thought you spoke very clearly, but I didn't remember it afterwards..."
As soon as my voice fell, there was a buzz in the crowd, "Yes, teacher, I don't remember..."
"Teacher, what is wood glue, what does it look like..."
"Teacher, I don't understand too much..."
"Teacher, what's the wood?"
"Teacher, what is Liudaomu? I've only heard of the six realms of reincarnation~"
"Teacher, why do I practice archery if my eyes are not good?"
"Teacher, do you want us to practice the Silver Arrow? You're so bad..."
Hmph, these hypocrites! If I hadn't bravely admitted that I didn't understand, they would all be staring at each other and pretending to have tens of thousands of IQs!
The ghost teacher stood on the stage with a black line on his face....
When you meet Xiaobai professionally, ghost teacher, you just accept your fate....
Let us who do not have any archery foundation become archers, there is a long way to go....
Helplessly, the ghost teacher slowed down and repeated carefully, this time, everyone has a score in their hearts.
In the next group, the slingshot team plays!
I'm continuing to sit in on the hearing. This has to be studied hard, and in the future, we will teach our handsome family to be a little slingshot player, and I have nothing to do to help my mother blind the eyes of zombies, absolutely necessary!
"In the eyes of ordinary people, the slingshot is just a toy for naughty boys, but a powerful slingshot can become a zombie-killing weapon in the hands of a well-trained person. Some people abroad have a record of hunting lions with slingshots, and the effective range is at least 30 meters when the pull force reaches 20 pounds, and the distance is close to 100 meters, and if you attack the zombie's head within 10 meters, you can break the skull! I've done tests, and the trajectory of a large-scale slingshot basically follows a straight line at a distance of 20-30 meters.
Slingshots can be found in sporting goods stores, morning market stalls, flower and bird markets, and outdoor adventure shops. But unfortunately, our farm can only be DIY, find a Y-shaped branch, the branches are best as thick as the thumb, after sawing down, carve grooves on both ends, and then bolt the rubber bands, the rubber bands are best used in the hospital kind of hanging bottle tube, more powerful, this is what we have in the farm hospital. Use leather or cloth to make the back pocket, when firing, the pull of the slingshot is much smaller than that of the bow and arrow, the bow and arrow mainly rely on the rebound of the bow, and the slingshot relies on the pull of the rubber band, so 20 pounds of pull is fine.
The larger the diameter, the more powerful the ball, but the effective range will be reduced accordingly, and the steel ball with a diameter of 1 cm is ideal. In addition, if possible, each person can get a strong magnet, preferably in a ring shape, with a rope tied to the middle finger of the left hand. When fighting, stuff a handful of steel balls in your pocket, and put a magnet into your pocket with your left hand to immediately suck several steel balls, which has the advantage that your left hand has been holding the slingshot handle, and there are several steel balls stuck to your middle finger, so you don't have to keep putting your hand in your pocket to get it when firing, so as to increase the launch speed. If you can't get the steel balls, you can also use them by picking up small stones on the riverbank.
The production of the slingshot is very simple, it is not too difficult for a boy in his 10s, and if he is not able to fight hand-to-hand when defending, even the old man with good eyes can operate it.
My strategy is like this, if a large number of zombies attack, the spear team uses short spears to fight with the corpses in close combat, the archers use arrows to block the zombies from 2,30 meters away to reinforce the zombies, and the slingshot man uses a slingshot to shoot zombies within 10 meters, and even several slingshots attack a target at the same time, so as to form a three-layer strike force in the distance, middle and near, which saves great physical energy for the fighters in hand-to-hand combat, and also relieves huge psychological pressure.
Because there are many uncertainties in the launch of the slingshot, the accuracy will be worse at a distance, so it takes several slingshots to attack a target, and 5 unskilled slingshot hands to attack a zombie 10 meters away, and a round of attacks can ensure at least one shot to the head. Then continue to fire two rounds that should bring the zombie down.
The effect of the actual battle should deflated the zombie's head. Unlike bows and arrows, arrows have penetrating power, while slingshots can only be hit with huge liliang. In general, as the proficiency of the use increases, the hit rate will gradually increase.
The slingshot can definitely form a very haode firepower supplement at an effective distance of about 10 meters. ”
"Whew! You understand this time, right? I'm talking about all the gadgets that little boys can play with without a teacher!" Teacher Ghost is full of confidence this time!
It's really much simpler about the slingshot, and we all understood it this time, but these theories are not important, the key is the actual operation, and it takes a lot of practice to be accurate and ruthless!
As a representative of the naughty and mischievous year, Jin Di raised his hand vigorously and said: "Old wet, old wet!" I know, I know! I played with a slingshot when I was at home, and I shot it accurately! I used to hide behind the curtains of my house and shoot people passing by downstairs with a slingshot, but once I was found and came to the door, causing me to beat my dad!"
The ghost teacher looked at Brother Jin with great satisfaction, and finally there was something malleable!
And the people we lived in the same community as him all glared at Brother Jin viciously, they should be beaten! How stubborn this kid used to be!
In the third group, the spears are on the field!
, The ghost teacher's close-quarters meat Bo weapon - the production method of the short spear has been taught.
"First of all, I have to say, your team's weapons are seriously flawed! You see, each of you only has a machete, and the longest one seems to be Duoduo's Japanese sword.
There is a saying in martial arts called "One inch is long and one inch is strong, and one inch is short and one inch is dangerous." "The disadvantage of a weapon that is too short in length is obvious in a confrontation, especially against zombies who have no mind. How to take down the zombie from a safe distance is very important, no matter how long the machete is, the effective killing range is only about 1.5 meters. If you can extend the attack range to 2.5 meters, which can keep the danger out of a safe distance, the spear is the first choice.
In the era of cold weapons, spears were sharp weapons against cavalry, and the length of infantry spears generally ranged from 3 meters to 5 meters, but the spear was too inconvenient to use. In the face of zombies, the short spear is generally 2 meters long, which is slightly longer than the height of an adult. The length of the left and right arms of the person is exactly the same as the height of the person, and the longest stretch of a single arm is 6 or 70 cm, plus a 2-meter-long short spear, the effective attack distance can be increased by one meter compared with the longest machete, live a healthy life, and stay away from zombies!
The production process of the short spear is simple, and the material is easy to obtain. Iron water pipes will do! The simplest way to make it is to use a long iron pipe to cut one end into an inclined plane with a hacksaw, and then polish the section a little to become the most primitive short spear. If you add a gun head if you are more elegant, will there be any welding that will burn? Ah, so much, great! Saw a steel plate into a conical shape, polish the blade with a grinding wheel or whetstone on both sides, and weld the tip directly to the water pipe. The Simplified Short Spear has a tactical action that can be knocked and stabbed, and the enhanced version of the Short Spear also adds a slashing function, which can be said to have increased its power by at least one level. The 2-meter short spear is very useful both offensively and defensively!"
The ghost teacher slowly looked around and continued: "The short spear increases the distance between you and the zombies, and achieves a safer defense than the short knife, but if you don't practice diligently how to use the short spear, the force is difficult to grasp, and there is no shortcut, so you can only practice diligently." ”
…………
With the tireless teaching of the ghost teacher, everyone gradually opened up, and the next step is to practice the operation.
