One of the major manufacturing difficulties of flintlock pistols is the barrel, with Wayne's current level of technology, to make the barrel, workers need to slowly hammer it out.

This will produce a huge error, the barrel is too thin to hold the bullet, and the hot gas runs away through the gap between the barrel and the bullet.

It is obviously impossible for workers to knock out a qualified iron pipe without borrowing any references, and an iron rod is needed at this time. The workers hammered the almost burned iron sheet into a U-shape, and after putting the iron rod into the iron sheet, the workers beat around the iron sheet. The diameter of an iron rod is a little larger than that of a bullet. In this way, the caliber of the barrel can be kept all the way, just right for the bullet.

And there will be a gap in the barrel when it is knocked out, and if the process is not up to standard, then this gap will also leak. The solution is to wrap another layer of iron sheet to cover the gap.

This not only scraps iron, but also increases the mass of the barrel. Let's just hope that these craftsmen will pass the test! There is no need to wrap a layer of iron sheet.

With the addition of flint for ignition, the main parts are pretty much the same.

The flintlock pistol can fire about seven to eight rounds in one minute, and the accuracy is guaranteed within 50 to 100 meters, and it can hurt people at 200 meters, but the accuracy is not guaranteed.

In this comparison, perhaps the elves' bows and arrows are more reliable than their own. Although the firing range is not as much as its own, the accuracy of fifty to eighty meters is still very high. It's just that it's not as powerful as itself.

But a hundred, or even a thousand, barrels fired in unison, and accuracy doesn't matter.

And the material used for bullets, lead.

There is a lot of debate as to why lead is used. The most convincing argument is that lead is poisonous and can deform when injected into the body to produce more effective killing.

But is that the case?

Wayne believed in a different view.

Compared to iron, lead has few uses. And lead is not difficult to mine, and the price is cheap. Iron is in short supply, and lead is a suitable alternative.

And not in terms of lethality.

After all, at a certain distance, the bullet has to penetrate the armor, and the lead is softer than the iron, and the effective range of the armor is much reduced at once.

Don't look at the hundreds of tons of iron that Wayne produces every day, but it's not enough to start the industrial age. At least tens of thousands of times more.

So if you can save iron, save it.

Wayne touched the flintlock pistol in his arms, just like he wanted to touch his own daughter-in-law.

Reynolds was waiting in a hurry, why was the teacher so inked.

Audrey said directly.

"Wood, you use it, you won't tell us it's just for touching. ”

Audrey was so anxious to die, and Wayne looked at the iron lump with a stupid look and rubbed it gently. Look at Audrey's hair standing on end. No, there's nothing weird about this Wayne to love well.

A few days ago, she was so fascinated by the artillery that she went up and tried a few rounds herself. The shock of the cannonball flying out is cool. In the horror of Wayne and his party, they tried a few more shots.

She wanted to try something new this time, but it was a pity that Wayne didn't teach her, and she didn't know how to use it.

Under the intertwining of the two emotions, she couldn't help but urge Wayne.

Wayne took one last look at the gun and stood up.

The prepared gunpowder is stuffed into the barrel and then loaded with lead bullets.

Then level the gun and pour gunpowder into the small hole next to the flint.

Close your left eye and aim with your right eye.

Facing the armor forty meters away, the plane pulled down.

The fire flickered at the muzzle of the gun, and the recoil caused Wayne to lean back slightly.

A puff of green smoke came out of the muzzle, and Wayne went up to check the results.

The group also followed Wayne up to have a look. A small hole in the armor.

The lethality is good, and Wayne is also the first time to shoot. It seems that the accuracy is also good.

Reynolds was also very happy to see that the results of the past few days had not been in vain, and looked at the bullet holes that were shot out with great interest.

Audrey saw something new and snatched a flintlock pistol.

"I've heard you say every day these days how amazing this flintlock pistol is, and it's not bad to see it now. Borrow this girl to play. ”

Wayne had a headache.

"Don't worry, princess, I'll teach you how to use it. ”

"That's not going to teach you yet!"

"Eh~, the barrel can't be on people. ”

"Bullets can't be smelled, they're poisonous. ”

.....

Wayne was in a hurry.

After Audrey shot a few shots in front of Wayne, Wayne was relieved to leave. This aunt and grandmother are not tired of playing, and they will not stop.

He's happy to be idle.

Hinderson was fine, and he walked around with Wayne when he was fine.

"Master Wayne, before the news of Barn Finger's return has arrived, some people can't wait to draw a line with Otero. If the news arrives, we probably won't need to do it. ”

"You can't look at it that way, most of the people who come to us now are eating mixed rice on Otero's side, and they don't have any real power. And those who didn't take refuge are what we need, they are the core of power. ”

"But there are many people who have a deep relationship with Otero, their in-laws, and their subordinates who have worked together for decades. I'm afraid this group of people will fight to the end with Otero and the young master. ”

"Don't worry, and don't look at who the soldiers on this Wasser street are listening to. Honestly, I can get them all arrested right now. It's just that the consequences are a little unbearable, I'm giving them time, but it won't be too much. Tomorrow we'll hand out the gold to the coolies, and I'm sure Otero will be a little more uncomfortable. ”

"It's a pity, Otero is still a talent, and Vasser is also well managed by him. ”

In the future, we will meet more "talents" in the future, so should we let them go in turn? Later, you will understand that they have stopped the process of industrialization and the stumbling block on the road to modernization. ”

Hinderson jotted down a few new words that popped up for Wayne.

Boom~

Audrey felt that this flintlock pistol required too much arm strength, so she fired a few shots herself, and her shoulder couldn't stand it. Let's take a break.

took a sip of tea, dragged his chin with his bored hands, and his eyes highlighted the desire to do bad things.

Then he slapped his head.

"Wayne, let's go hunting. I haven't hunted with a flintlock pistol yet. ”

In this era, entertainment was scarce, and the aristocracy was not excluded. And hunting is one of the few forms of entertainment they have, after all, galloping on horses and taking some to shoot their prey. There always seems to be a refreshing feeling of going into battle to kill the enemy.

"Princess, can you ride a horse?"

Wayne looked at Audrey with a look on her face, and estimated that she had never even ridden a horse.

"Eh~, you wood, Miss Ben can't walk. ”

"Then I'll ride a horse, the speed is fluttering, and then the princess won't say that I deliberately left the princess behind. ”

Audrey didn't get angry, and Wayne didn't know how to coax girls. At this time, he should say that he walked with him, it was really wood!

Wayne was still thinking proudly about it, fortunately, for more than a year, he had spent a lot of time riding horses and his equestrian skills had improved. Hunting can also leave a lot of stamina. Very proud.
