This was the first time Su Wen had seen rifled firearms in the Brilliant Continent.

Before that, even in the relevant materials, he had not seen any mention of it. As for the goblins' powder guns, they still fired bullets such as lead bullets or iron sand bullets, and it was impossible to have such a thing as rifling.

For kinetic firearms, only after having a rifle, the bullet after the discharge can be stable, and it can be accurate in medium and long-distance combat. Otherwise, no matter how powerful it is, if the bullet hits a little farther away, it all depends on fate, and there is no actual combat significance. Unless the two armies line up to shoot, increase the density of firepower, improve the hit rate, and then live and die the tactic......

However, in this world, that kind of tactic is no different from seeking death, and only accurate and stable long-range strikes can be effective in this environment where magic is in vogue.

In fact, Su Wen felt that the goblins did not necessarily know that rotation could increase stability, this simple principle, in the world before he crossed, it was used not long after the appearance of firearms, and the earliest rifles had appeared at that time. But having said that, even in my own world, rifled guns were not really practical until hundreds of years later, on the one hand, because of the gap in process accuracy - rifling is a precision element, and a slight error will lead to a reduction in the life of the rifle, and a direct explosion of the chamber. However, according to the level of material craftsmanship in the Brilliant Continent today, Su Wen can know that it will not be difficult to get high-precision rifling, such as the delicate shotgun in his hand, the rifling in the chamber is uniform and well-made. Then the main reason should be the second one, that is, the rifled gun will have a serious conflict with the way of front loading.

The huge difference between the rifled gun and the original musket is mainly in two points, one is the shape design of the bullet, and the other is the loading method, because the bullet that conforms to the rifled gun is difficult to load from the front end of the barrel, and even if it can be loaded successfully, it will take several times more time than the original musket, and this inefficiency is a huge waste in actual combat. This is the fundamental reason why the rifled gun in Su Wen's world has no actual combat significance after hundreds of years of appearance, and now it seems that the goblins who invented the musket have not been able to solve these two problems, but the magician forces who borrowed from this invention have preemptively made more advanced reloading rifled guns, which in a sense has to be said to be really ironic.

Hmm, so ......

What about bullets?

From the very beginning, Su Wen had never seen the bullets of this shotgun, there was no relics in the person's explosion, and there was no such thing as bullets in the backpack, as if there was no such thing as bullets at all.

In the sneak attack just now, Su Wen did hear the violent sound of the gun, and the head of the person who was sneak attacked was indeed pierced by bullets along with the four-ring magic shield. That immense power was not inferior to that of a real powder gun, so much so that Su Wen had decided for a long time that it was a powder gun rather than a magic weapon, until he took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then he discovered more problems.

And not only the absence of bullets.

Su Wen studied it carefully again, and found that in addition to the problem of bullets, there was neither flint ignition nor an internal primer firing pin on the shotgun, and there was not even such a thing as a trigger, as if it was more burning than a burning stick. For a while, he couldn't figure out how to use this thing, and he couldn't find the relevant instructions, and the scene was very embarrassing.

Seeing that there was still enough time, he decided to use derivation to analyze.

First of all, Su Wen is very sensitive to bullets, and if there is one, he will probably notice it at a glance. Since this thing has not been found from beginning to end, it is very likely that this shotgun, like those magic bows and arrows, can be fired without using physical bows and arrows under normal circumstances, except for a few special arrows, and its projectiles are mainly concentrated elements in the user's body. When activated, these concentrated elements not only have penetrating power like ordinary arrows, but also have different special effects depending on the nature of the element, such as frost, explosion, paralysis, etc...... In this way, the shotgun is still a magic item, but why does it have a reloading system and rifling?

These two things are intended for solid-state bullets, and they are not available as concentrated elements for energy bodies.

On the other hand, being able to appear in the trial space and be used by others means that at least some of the trialists are no strangers to this strange firearm that is not known in the world.

So.

Only solid bullets can be used......

Wizards can easily use ......

If you combine the two, the answer is not difficult to come by.

That is the four-ring earth magic, the Stone Setting Technique.

Earth magic is a very new existence to magic apprentices, among the five main elements, you can see that they use the four elements of wind, water, fire, and light to form magic, but you can't see earth magic. The reason is very simple, thinking that the other four elements do not have a fixed form, and they can be easily mobilized by the mage and compiled into magic, but the earth element is completely different, and its most basic spell "sand control technique" is the three-ring spell. Moreover, among the other four major factions, the three-ring magic is basically a powerful magic with actual combat significance, but the "sand control technique" basically has no use except for controlling the sand into different shapes, and its significance is to increase the affinity for the earth element, as a precursor to the learning of the entire earth magic......

The most useful earth magic is the "Stone Solidification" as a four-ring magic: the user can use dirt or sand to create rocks of various shapes, the hardness and volume of which depend on the ability of the person who released it. But even this spell is compared to other four-ring magic of the same level—the standard fireball technique that destroys houses like cannonballs, the blizzard that changes the color of the heavens and the earth, the penetrating fire spear technique, and the daylight technique that focuses to generate high temperatures...... It's as inconspicuous as a child's play.

But it is indeed a four-ring magic, although it is not like the fireball technique, which consumes a lot of energy, and drains the magic energy of an intermediate magician with one piece, but the understanding and control of the elements it requires are not lower than the standard fireball technique.

After all, it is not just the elements that it changes, but the microstructure of the solid that is made up of the elements. When the elements are energy bodies, gases, or even liquids, their form change is very simple, and even the case of Ice Arrow, which turns the water element into an ice pick, uses a quick freezing trick, but it is much more difficult to change the solid matter composed of elements to another state of solid matter. But fortunately, the Stone Condensation Technique only requires the understanding and control of the elements, and its elemental consumption is similar to that of ordinary two-ring spells, as long as he can master the method, even an intermediate magician can continue to make a large number of stones he wants, provided that he has enough raw materials such as sand and soil.

For example, the stone bullets that can be used in this shotgun can be loaded and then used to generate elemental bursts in the limited space of the chamber after being reloaded, so that the bullets can be fired without gunpowder.

In this way, this shotgun is actually a large slingshot?

As for the power it has shown before...... Su Wen felt that he had been misled, and the power did not mean that it must have been fired by gunpowder, but it also could indicate that the user of this magic gun had an extremely excellent elemental burst ability, and its strength was close to the deflagration speed of black powder. If so, it's not impossible to use it to penetrate a fourth-order magic shield that isn't in full state.

Thinking about this, in addition to lamenting that the person who chased and killed him was indeed a bit capable, Su Wen also quickly lost interest in this magic gun. The strength of this thing depends on the user's ability, and Su Wenyi doesn't know how to condense stones, and secondly, its elemental burst ability can't either...... Well, it's fundamentally zero, and he, who is not a magician, simply can't command an elemental burst.

However, Su Wen's attention was quickly attracted by another matter.

If this magic gun wasn't made for a single person, but was an item that could be easily used by most magicians who knew how to do it, then it might be a new magic weapon - but Su Wen knew about the magic spearmen in this world, and their magic guns didn't have rifling and reloading systems, but the goblins' one that removed the firing system and used elemental shooting instead. Therefore, since there is no such strange shotgun in the information he has, either it is strictly kept secret, or it has just appeared.

Compared to the former, Su Wen prefers to believe in the latter.

Then Su Wen quickly thought of something.

In Trides, he seemed to have something that someone had taken and studied......

Su Wen's face became very exciting at that time.

He was silent for a long time, and finally made a decision.

"Pit Daddy System, help me solve the problem of Stone Consolidation and Elemental Burst. I'm very good at researching, right, so don't draw a tiger or become an anti-dog, I'm going to tell this guy the real use of the kinetic rifle today!"
