Chapter 537: Demon Hunter with a Gun
"This?" When Gallott opened his mouth to ask, Mori Kinrinnosuke looked at what the white-haired demon hunter was pointing at and thought for a moment before replying, "This seems to be a weapon used in the outside world before, it is considered a crossbow and a crossbow, but it seems to be more powerful than a crossbow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"'The Outer World'?" it was not the first time that Gallott had heard this unfamiliar word, whether it was from the mouths of the Teutonic soldiers in the tavern who were drinking and having fun, or from the mouths of His Majesty Feng Longde, who didn't seem to have much shape, he had heard this word less, "What kind of world is 'The Outer World'?"
"You must have strayed into Gensokyo from the outside world, right? You don't know what the outside world means?" Mori glanced at Gallot in surprise, "It's as ridiculous as a little bird asking 'What is a bird's nest?'" ”
"Probably, but I really don't know what 'the outside world' means. Gallott replied, not showing a hint of expression on his pale, "There has never been such a weapon in the world I used to live in, and although it looks like the product of a sorceress, wizard, mage, or alchemist, I don't feel any magic fluctuations in its body, so it must have been produced by ordinary people." ”
"Then it seems that the world you were in was not the 'outside world', so it's normal that you don't understand what the outside world means. Mori Rinnosuke nodded slightly, this is the only situation that can explain why Gallott doesn't understand the meaning of this word, "Are you going to want this weapon? I'll say it beforehand, I don't know how this weapon works, and I don't have any arrows or crossbows or anything like that, maybe in your hands, it's not as useful as the two long swords and crossbows you carry." ”
"I've seen in the Teutonic camp led by von Rond that their arsenal seems to produce similar weapons, and I should be able to spend money from them to make some matching ammunition. Gelot replied, reaching out and taking the old British-made Lee rifle, pulling the bolt with great unskill, "It seems that the military factories in the Teutonic camp produce other weapons similar to this one more advanced, and if I have the chance, I will buy one from them and try it with a certain amount of ammunition, which may be much more practical than a steel crossbow." ”
"Since you're going to take this weapon, I can't say anything. Mori Rinnosuke waved his hand, anyway, this old British-made Lee rifle with no ammunition and no understanding of how to use it was just an ornament for him, and it wouldn't be a big deal if Gallott was interested in taking it.
"Thank you. Gallott, who had carried the old British-made Lee rifle behind his back with a little difficulty, and felt that his back was full of weapons, waved his hand to Mori Rinnosuke, and then walked out of the Korindo, and Mori Rinnosuke waved back to the back room, picked up a book on the table, and continued to read.
"It's all done?" When Gallott came out of the Xianglin Hall and walked into Rochi, Feng Longde, who was leaning on the back of the undead war horse, opened his eyes and looked at Gallott with blue eyes.
"It's done, a lot of five hundred P coins, and this weapon. As he replied, Gallott took off the old-fashioned British-made Lee rifle he was carrying behind his back, and shook it in front of Feng Longde with his right hand, "Feng Longde, it seems that you have lived in the 'outside world' for a long time before coming to Gensokyo, right?
"Weapons from the outside world? Feng Longde was aroused by Gelot's words, and when he saw the old British-made Lee rifle in Gelot's hand, he looked a little embarrassed, "It's actually a classic old gun like the Lee Enfield short rifle...... Galot, you really picked a nice thing to give as a reward......"
"'Lee Enfield Short Rifle'?What kind of weapon is this?Is it a special crossbow?" Gallott frowned a little when he heard the noun from Von Longde's mouth, "And von Longde, why do you have such a strange expression? Is there anything wrong with this weapon?"
"There's nothing bad about it......" Feng Longde looked at the Lee Enfield short rifle held in Gelot's hand with a black line on his face, because he was not wearing the Demon Ring-Wing Barrel Helmet but put it in the bag on the side of the undead warhorse's horse, Feng Longde's embarrassed expression now made Gallot completely understand, and made the latter's pair of golden cat pupils slightly widen the vertical pupils, "I just have a slight grudge against this weapon......
Although Feng Longde is not a professional military nerd who specializes in modern weapons, because there are also a considerable number of colleagues in the Iron and Blood Society who are more familiar with World War II weapons, and the brothers in several brotherhood societies mainly in military houses sometimes communicate with each other, so Feng Longde at least has a good understanding of the various types of weapons during World War II, and naturally he recognized the Lee Enfield short rifle, which was widely installed in 1895 and continued to serve in the British army's standard bolt-action rifle from 1895 to 1956.
Since its birth, the Lee Enfield short rifle has a large number of derivative models, and it is also the standard equipment of the British Commonwealth member states, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India, which have been equipped with a large number of .303 caliber rifle ammunition, replacing many types of rifles in the early days of the British army, and becoming the mainstream weapon of the British army and the armies of the British Commonwealth member states in World War I, World War II and the Korean War. Although the Lee Enfield Short Rifle was replaced by the Enfield L1A1·SLR rifle in 1956, it continues to be used in some Commonwealth member states, and the Lee Enfield Short Rifle has produced more than 17 million units to date, making it one of the most produced bolt-action rifles in the world.
Lee Enfield Short Rifle pioneered the concept of "short rifle", that is, the full length of the gun is between the traditional long rifle and the modern carbine, and the total length of the gun is shortened from the original Lee rifle 1257 mm to 1130 mm. It was characterized by the use of a rear-end locking rotary pull-back bolt invented by James Paris Lee, which reloaded much faster than other rifles of the same period: the Lee Enfield short rifle was equipped with a fixed box magazine, and a double row of magazines for reloading (the magazine was not disassembled during use, and the bullets were loaded by two five-round magazines through the top of the receiver). With 10 rounds instead of 5 rounds of most other bolt-action rifles, the Enfield Short Rifle greatly improves its sustainable firepower, making it one of the fastest rotary pull-back bolt-action rifles in combat to date, and the Lee Enfield Short Rifle also has the advantages of high reliability and ease of operation - in trench warfare in World War I and in various battlefields in World War II, the Lee Enfield Short Rifle impressed its enemies with its rapid firepower, and thus gave birth to the Lee Enfield Short Rifle. The legend of the "Crazy Minute" of the Enfield Short Rifle, which means that the Lee Enfield Short Rifle can fire thirty rounds in one minute...... Moreover, in the hands of well-trained veterans, the Lee Enfield short rifle can be compared with many modern automatic weapons, and some can even reach a rate of 40 rounds per minute or more, which is very terrifying for the vast majority of bolt-action rifles that used to shoot a bullet and pull the bolt out of the cartridge case and then continue to shoot a bullet......
In addition to the fixed box magazine and double-row magazine, which are quite rare designs on bolt-action rifles, during the First World War, the British Enfield Arsenal, which specialized in the production of Lee Enfield short rifles, produced curved magazines that could hold 20 rounds for trench warfare, and also had certain applications in World War II, such as trench warfare and urban street fighting; The Enfield Short Rifle itself has a variety of base models, plus a number of improved models that are based on the base model and continuously improved, so a cumbersome and complex nomenclature has been adopted for this purpose.
At present, Gellott is holding the Lee Enfield short rifle No.4, or the basic model MK.I: it is an improved version of the No.1 type, mainly replacing the original notched sight with a bore sight, making it more accurate; The Enfield Short Rifle No.4 simplified many of the main parts, and the front butt no longer extended to the muzzle end, so it was very easy to distinguish from the No.1 in appearance. The Enfield short rifle No.4 was only tested in the 1920s and the thirties of the twentieth century, and was not put into production until the British army selected it as a standard rifle in 1939, and was officially put into production in 1941, and the British army was widely equipped and used in 1943 at the end of World War IIThe production and use of the Enfield short rifle No.4 continued until 1955, and until modern times, there are still many models of the Lee Enfield short rifle used in the civilian market for hunting and target shooting, or collected as souvenirs, which shows the fame and practicality of this series of bolt-action rifles.
"Feng Longde, what is there to worry about about this weapon for you?" Seeing that Feng Longde, who was also very rigid as himself, had an extremely rare expression like constipation, and remained silent for a long time, Galllot couldn't help but ask.
"There's nothing to worry about for me, but for Gallo, your words ......" Covering his forehead helplessly, Feng Longde felt that his mouth was full of grooves, and he couldn't spit it out, "This is the basic model of the Lee Enfield Short Rifle No.4 MK.I...... In short, it is similar to an alchemy crossbow that fires ammunition equivalent to small-scale magic, has an extremely fast reload speed, and is as easy to use as a crossbow, and can be used as a short spear if a bayonet is placed near the muzzle...... But, Gelot, this weapon is of no use to you right now. ”
"Why?" asked Gelot.
"First of all, the Lee Enfield short rifle you have on hand is not equipped with a bayonet, and it should be that Mori Kinnosuke doesn't have a bayonet either, right?" Von Rond shrugged, and Gelot nodded to indicate that this was indeed the case before he continued: "Although the Lee Enfield short rifle is usually equipped with a special bayonet, it is often discarded due to its poor design...... Even if you can get a specially equipped bayonet this time, it will still be useless - the basic model of the wartime production Lee Enfield short rifle No.4 MK.I has a big flaw in the design of the bayonet, it is just so-so mounted on the barrel, even the jam is omitted, it is okay to scare people, if you want to take it to hand-to-hand combat, don't think about it...... Gelot, your primary method of combat is cold weapon combat, and a Lee Enfield short rifle without a bayonet is not as good as a large wooden club. ”
That being said, but Feng Longde knew in his heart that the front of the butt of the Lee Enfield short rifle No.1 coincided with the muzzle, and there was a raised short iron post at the front end to fix the bayonet, and the back was equipped with a bamboo shoot that was mated with the bayonet, so the bayonet of the Lee Enfield short rifle No.1 was installed very firmly, and because the front of the butt and the muzzle were overlapped, Li · Compared with other types of rifles that put a bayonet on the barrel, the Lee Enfield Short Rifle No.1 with a bayonet can also be used for slashing in addition to thrusting, and can be used as a small long-handled knife, which can be called a classic in bayonet design.
However, what Gellott was holding in his hand was the basic model of the Lee Enfield short rifle No.4 MK.I, which was actually a reduced version of the No.1 type, which was definitely not as good as the Mauser 98K rifle with bayonets at the same time, not to mention that now Garrow did not have a matching bayonet, and his short knife could not be installed at all......
"In addition to this, bullets are also a big problem. Feng Longde shook his head helplessly, and there was a demon hunter with a bolt-action rifle standing in front of him, which made him feel that Gallott's painting style had collapsed a little bit, "Mori Kinrinnosuke doesn't seem to have any bullets there, so this Lee Enfield short rifle No.4 basic model Mk.I is just a fire stick with a complex shape in your hand, Gallott."
