Rifling was invented very early in history, but rifled guns have not been mass-armed.

Rather, it was the design of the grooved barrel, which was used for almost a century.

Although the difference between the two is big, they can both play a role in stabilizing the trajectory, because both avoid the bullet in the barrel and make irregular movements.

Just the rifled gun can ensure that the bullet rotates out at a high muzzle velocity, and the ballistic stability is much higher than that of the grooved barrel design.

But before the advent of Mini rounds, rifled gun loading was a very slow and difficult process.

The gunner needed a small hammer to knock the projectile into the gun.

This made rifled guns, initially only equipped in small quantities to the Horde's sharpshooters.

……

Ten days later, the shooting range of the Meaux barracks.

Yan Zheng and all the officers sat in a row, holding binoculars and watching the rifled gun test in the distance.

This experiment not only allowed a large number of soldiers to visit, but also many students to stand on the sidelines to watch.

The whole venue was densely packed with people, all looking curiously at the new batch of rifles that had arrived.

The rifles, which were named Type 02 rifles, were fine-tuned on the basis of flintlock pistols.

In addition to rifling, it reduced the size of the flintlock and reduced the caliber to 13 mm.

The reason for this change is purely because of the subversive enhancement of rifling to guns, as well as the improvement of processing accuracy and craftsmanship.

If the caliber is reduced, the recoil can be reduced, and the shooting will be more stable.

With Yan Zheng's order, a platoon of soldiers with brand-new rifles walked up to the baseline of the test.

The first soldier skillfully completed the firing step, but this time the bullet was cone-shaped.

He held the rifle steady, feeling that the new rifle was lighter and more fluid and delicate in appearance.

"Put!" The commander waved the red flag.

Only a bang was heard, and a large amount of gunpowder smoke appeared on the field.

Yan Zheng and the rest of the officers on the first seat raised their binoculars one after another.

A hundred meters away, a big hole was punched out of a target heart!

Soon, the soldiers who reported the target also ran over to confirm, and as a red flag was raised, the scene applauded.

The first test shot hit the bull's-eye directly, which surprised the test soldiers, and when he used a flintlock pistol, only three or four out of ten shots could not miss the target!

And the shooting experience of this gun is very good, the recoil is small, and the front sight uses a blade crosshair, which can aim farther away more clearly.

He immediately took a step back and began to clear the chamber of the gun.

The soldier in the second test also fired at this time, and the result was also a bull's-eye.

There were ten soldiers in a company, and the results of the shooting were all on target, eight of them hit the bull's eye, and two hit the target in other positions.

Not a single one missed the target! Although these ten soldiers are all very skilled school gunners, this result still shocked the officers present.

Yan Zheng smiled and waved his hand, and immediately someone removed the target at a distance of 100 meters and replaced it with a target at 200 meters, which directly increased a full 100 meters!

This made everyone wonder at the same time, and at the same time, there was a faint excitement in their hearts, the distance of 200 meters meant that they could fire twice the distance before the flintlock gun.

Bang bang bang - after a burst of gunshots, the results of the test were passed in.

Five hit the bull's-eye, four hit the target, and one missed the target.

All the officers in the room stood up, and the result was too exciting.

This is equivalent to the power of a rifle, and the rolling death has been multiplied several times.

Lu Wan licked his face and looked at the rifle in the soldier's hand, his eyes revealing a burst of hunger.

Ansan commented: "If it can be so accurate within 200 meters, not only will the line infantry be able to shoot earlier in the future, but the defensive area of the fortress will also be greatly expanded!"

Zhang Sanfeng agreed: "And if you shoot at 200 meters, our soldiers can at least play 3~4 more rounds, and attack in three stages according to the line, unless the enemy is not afraid of death and takes his life, otherwise he will definitely not be able to get close to us."

Yan Zheng smiled without saying a word, and continued to let people move the target away, increasing fifty meters each time, and constantly testing.

With each test, the officers' expressions were a little surprised, and when the final test results came out, everyone was dumbfounded!

The rifled gun is within three hundred and fifty meters, which can ensure accurate shooting.

When the platoon gun fires, the lethality can be guaranteed at about 900 meters.

At a distance of 200 meters, a good sniper can guarantee that he will fight that and that!

Lu Wan swallowed his saliva and said, "Let's ...... We are invincible in the world! ”

An San nodded heavily and said, "As long as they are equipped with this kind of rifle, no enemy can hold it!"

Zhang Sanfeng, as a person who has been to Daming, also feels in his heart at this moment that Daming's army can't resist a round in front of this kind of rifle!

Yan Zheng smiled and applauded, rifling and gamini bullets, in this era, it is so against the sky.

The most important thing in this is not rifling, but the famous Mini bullet, which is the conical bullet named by Yan Zheng.

The bullet is cone-shaped, slightly smaller in diameter than the barrel caliber, with a concave bottom and a round piece of hardwood on top.

At the point of gunpowder, its tail will be propped up, so that it can be done by fitting the rifling!

The students and workers present were also excited and happy, and with this powerful weapon in hand, they would not be afraid of anything.

The researchers of the 100th Institute smiled even more, and they only understood today the significance of the rifling machine to Huaxia.

No wonder the monarch would say that the rifling machine was not built for a day, and he could not sleep for a day.

"Long live you, long live China!"

I don't know who it was, but the first one raised his arms and shouted.

Everyone stood up in unison, shouting and shouting, and the shouts shook the heavens and the earth.

Is there anything more powerful than a powerful weapon that can boost national confidence?

Yan Zheng smiled and waved his hand and said, "It should be long live technology!" Long live the researchers! ”

With that, he took a group of officers and personally came to the shooting range.

Lu Wan and the others had already itched their hands and took their rifles from the hands of the soldiers who were testing.

Yan Zheng also took a handful, he took a paper shell fixed ammunition, bit it open, poured it into the barrel, and then stuffed the Mini bullet in.

After finishing the preparation for firing, he slowly raised the gun, and he really thought that this gun was so beautiful!

The butt made by the imitation machine only has a layer of tung oil on the top.

Coupled with the delicate flintlock machine, the entire gun body is more slender and smooth, and the position of the bayonet card slot is also adjusted to the bottom of the barrel.

He gently pulled the trigger, and the flintlock faucet drove the flint down quickly, and the metal baffle in front of it was struck and quickly bounced off, causing the spark to enter the medicine pool.

Bang - the recoil caused the butt of the gun to hit Yan Zheng's shoulder hard, but it was not as big as expected.

The target reporter ran over and soon waved the flag and hit the target!

"Good marksmanship!" Lu Wan flattered.

Yan Zheng smiled and said nothing, at a distance of fifty meters, he, a rookie, was able to hit the target, which can only show that the humanoid target is too big.

But fortunately, the trajectory of the bullet can really be determined, and it is no longer a random state when there is no rifling!

Bang bang bang - the officers also began to play with guns.

Yan Zheng handed the gun to Lan Ya, he was going to collect it.

From the point of view of the front-loading gun, the only thing that can be improved is a fire cap.

If you want to raise the gun in your hand to a higher level again, it will inevitably be accompanied by the development of the chemical industry, and only by creating qualified primer materials can the firearms continue to develop.

The ultimate development direction will also be breech loading!
