Chapter 117: It's Simple

Li Yu raised his dueling pistol, aimed at a large tree about five paces away, and pulled the trigger.

The next moment, the flint collided with the fire sickle, and a spark emerged, igniting the gunpowder in the primer dish, which in turn ignited the gunpowder in the barrel, spewing flames!

The dueling pistol let out a terrifying roar, accompanied by a puff of white smoke, and the bullets flew out of the chamber and hit the bark.

Sawdust flew and scattered all over the ground, and the buckshot had been deeply embedded in the trunk of the tree.

"It's okay." Li Yu said to Ge Lipeng, "It's just that the accuracy is a little worse, and I was aiming at a lower position." ”

"I didn't have time to engrave rifling into the barrel." "The early gunsmiths used something called an Iowa rifling machine to wire the barrel, which was actually a wooden lathe.

"But at that time, the barrel was still iron, and the steel barrel was a little more troublesome, so my advice was to wait until the enemy was close before shooting."

"Good idea." Li Yu reloaded the dueling pistol with bullets and gunpowder, and then handed it to the sluggish Miss Rabbit.

"You can try it too, and you can complete the launch by pulling the crescent-shaped mechanism below."

The female lord took the flintlock pistol and subconsciously aimed the barrel at herself, wanting to see what secrets were hidden in it that could make it make such a big noise.

As a result, Li Yu pushed the muzzle of the gun away again, and warned at the same time.

"At all times, do not point the gun at yourself or anyone else around you, and in short, do not point the finger of judgment at anyone or anything but your opponent.

"It's a very, very dangerous weapon that can easily take a person's life, don't wait for a tragedy to happen."

Yin Leia looked at the small thing in her hand that was as exquisite as a work of art, and until this moment she still couldn't accept that it could have such a powerful killing power.

At this time, Ge Lipeng took out another pair of cotton armor and hung it on another tree.

Yin Leiya followed Li Yu's example, raised the dueling pistol in her hand, aimed for a while, and pulled the trigger.

As a result, the sudden recoil made her almost miss the butt.

The muzzle of the gun was raised, and the bullet grazed the trunk of the tree and flew into the woods, where it was gone.

The female lord choked on the white smoke and coughed.

"It's okay, take your time, it's normal to miss the target the first time, you can stand a little closer, then hold the gun in both hands and try to straighten your arms as much as possible......"

Li Yu instructed on the side, and then completed the third reload.

Yin Leiya learned her lesson, took a deep breath, raised the hand of judgment in her hand again, and aimed at the position of the cotton armor slightly down.

This time, the bullet finally hit the target.

Seeing this, the girl couldn't help but raise her arms and cheer, and when she walked to the front with Li Yu and Ge Lipeng to check the damage caused by the dueling pistol, she found that the cotton armor on the tree had been pierced by that small "stone".

In other words, if someone comes to compete with her in cotton armor, they have already been shot.

And this is not the end, Ge Lipeng then took out a pair of leather armor, and the tough cowhide could not withstand the impact of the lead projectile, and then the scale armor.

What the female lord didn't expect was that the scale armor made of iron pieces was helpless to take the bullet, and a finger-thick hole appeared at the landing point.

Finally, there is the highlight of this round of testing, chain mail and plate mail.

Among them, the chain mail that Ge Lipeng found finally defended the glory of the armor and was not pierced by the lead bullet.

The projectile hit the rivet and ended up badly deformed and stuck in the armor, but there was still a shallow pit in the trunk behind it.

This means that although the bullet did not penetrate the wearer's body, the terrifying impact it produced could still easily tear the wearer's muscles and even break the wearer's ribs.

As for the plate armor, Ge Lipeng first hung up an inferior plate armor bought from a small town on the road, and the plate armor was torn open by bullets.

However, after changing into the dwarven armor that the Black Dog Guard and the Arias House guards were equipped with, they could only leave a small hole in it.

Ge Lipeng felt a little sorry when he saw this, "The smoothbore gun is not only inferior to the rifled gun in terms of shooting accuracy, but also the muzzle kinetic energy is smaller than that of the rifled gun."

"If you wear a lot of armor on the other side, try to attack his limbs, or the side, where the armor is thinner and easy to break."

The female lord held the dueling pistol in her hand, but at this time she had turned her worries into joy, and the whole person was energetic again, calling her a good fellow.

She never imagined that there would be such a small, powerful and powerful weapon in this world, and its lethality surpassed that of a hand crossbow.

The most important thing is that it is forbidden to carry crossbows in the tournament, but it is not said that it is forbidden to bring the hand of judgment.

With this thing, Miss Rabbit instantly felt that she was good again, and she could compete with the other contestants.

But soon she remembered another question and asked Li Yudao, "This holy artifact...... Can't you skip the ritual at the front?,It feels like a bit of a long time.。 ”

"The loading of gunpowder and bullets cannot be omitted." Li Yu replied, "So you'd better finish this before the tournament starts." ”

"But what if I miss?" The girl asked again.

"It's easy." Li Yu turned his head to the followers of the Shuangxiu Sect and said, "What about the other guns you made?" ”

It took about a week for Ge Lipeng to make his first gun, mainly because the tools were not very handy, and he also encountered some problems when he made a gun for the first time.

As the saying goes, once it is born and twice cooked, it doesn't take so long to build it again.

According to Ge Lipeng's words, if in modern society, it takes a skilled gunsmith about two days to make a flintlock pistol, and of course, if you want to make a good gun and fit it as accurately as possible, it may take another year to polish it.

Li Yu does not have high requirements for flintlock pistols, rather than pursuing lethality and accuracy, it is better to have a few more real.

He has long taken into account the concerns of the female lord, flintlock pistols in the tournament are basically a hammer deal, and the more you go to the back, the more you will meet the masters, and it is impossible to give you time to reload.

This requires redundancy to ensure victory in a battle and to deal with possible risks, not limited to missing the target, but also mutes or other accidents.

So Ge Lipeng took out two more dueling pistols, as well as an axe.

"I don't need an axe." The female lord said, "I can't use this weapon." ”

"It's a flintlock axe." Seeing her wave his hand, Ge Lipeng explained, "In the 16th and 18th centuries, it appeared on the battlefields of Europe, and it could also fire lead bullets, mainly to solve the pain point that flintlock pistols could not be used in close combat. ”
