Looking at the target that left a bullet hole in the distance, Jérôme. Bonaparte looked slightly embarrassed, because the bullet fired from Mauser's breech-loading rifle was almost off target.

Valewski, who was standing on the sidelines, did not feel embarrassed in the slightest, and immediately applauded Jérôme. Bonaparte patted his ass and said, "Good! Your Majesty, good marksmanship! ”

The elder Mauser and his sons also began to applaud and praise Jérôme. Bonaparte sunset red marksmanship.

"Huh!" Jérôme. Bonaparte felt even more embarrassed.

So he handed a paper pack to Valewski, and said to Valewski with a nuclear face: "Minister Valewski, you can try it too!" ”

Valewski was stunned for a moment, then took over Jérôme. Bonaparte handed him a paper packet with a reloading gun and a Mauser reloader.

When Valewski unloaded the Mauser, a wisp of white smoke drifted out of the chamber.

"Let's get started!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said lightly, and then added: "Valewski, I know your shooting ability, so you fool me with off-target!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Valevsky immediately had the feeling of lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Why did he have to boast just now, now that the emperor is not allowed to miss the target.

Seeing that he couldn't get by, Valevsky had no choice but to stuff the paper bag into the chamber, and then closed the chamber and began to aim at the distant target intently, while thinking in his mind that he would score worse than the emperor without missing the target.

And Jérôme. Bonaparte folded his arms around and communicated with old Mauser, "Mr. Mauser! ”

"Your Majesty, what do you command?" Old Mauser asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"That's right, Mr. Mauser, I just saw that there is a piece of rubber on the firing pin of this Mauser rifle, and I was thinking about how to change it to brass bullets, how should you ensure that brass bullets can be shelled smoothly?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked old Mauser: "And I don't see the shell mechanism on your rifle either!" ”

Old Mauser was silent for a moment, and then said to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "Your Majesty, this rifle is not equipped with a shelling mechanism!" ”

"Speaking of which, this is a completely paper-shell fixed-load projectile product!" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Old Mauser again.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Old Mauser nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Can you tell me why you didn't do it according to the design I gave you?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Old Mauser with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, you can't blame my father for this!" Paul. Mauser opened his mouth to Jérôme. Bonaparte pleaded, "It's all my fault!" ”

"Paul, I'm not here to ask for guilt!" Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately realized that there was something wrong with his attitude and he hastened to correct it not bad against Paul. Mauser replied, "I mean, where are you having trouble?" ”

Paul. Mauser told Jérôme. Bonaparte, they had some difficulty with the metal fixed ammunition.

Although it is said that the earliest appearance of metal fixed ammunition has been more than 20 years ago (the earliest was in the 30s of the 19th century), it was not really developed until the 50s of the 19th century.

That is to say, the development time of the entire metal fixed ammunition is only about 5 years, so there are many technical problems that need to be solved.

If the problem of metal fixed ammunition is not solved, then even if the shell mechanism is made now, it will need to be greatly adjusted in the later stage.

Rather than that, it's better to test the other features first.

Wait until the metal fixed ammunition is completely formed, and then think about the shell mechanism.

And the installation of the magazine will have to wait until the shelling mechanism is solved, and then it will be solved.

"I see!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded to Paul. Mauser responded.

Just then, a gunshot rang out. Bonaparte shifted his attention from the Mauser father and son to the target.

Only to see the distance from Jérôme. More than 200 meters from Bonaparte, there was a small black dot on the target, and the location of the black dot was also on the edge of the target.

"Your Majesty!" Valewski put down the Mauser rear-loading gun in his hand, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Not bad! Not bad! "Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at the sweat on Valewsky's forehead and said, "It's hard for you!" ”

"It's not hard! It's not hard! Valewski had a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, this shot did take him too much energy, and it was arguably the hardest shot ever!

"That's it! Give it a rub! Sweat is about to reach my jaw! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said lightly, and then took the rifle in Valewski's hand.

Just Jerome. When Bonaparte was about to test a shot, the man who had been sent to fetch the brass bullet appeared, and handed it to the old Mauser.

"Your Majesty, the bullets are coming!" Old Mauser handed a few brass bullets to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Relying on a brass bullet with a diameter of about 11 mm in his hand (after the production of smokeless gunpowder, the diameter of the bullet was generally larger than after smokeless gunpowder), Jérôme. Bonaparte hesitated for a moment, then handed the brass bullet back to old Mauser.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to continue the experiment?" Old Mauser looked at Jérôme suspiciously. Bonaparte said.

"I'd better wait for you to finish making the shell mechanism, and then I'll test it!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to the old Mauser, "Now the focus of the tests is on the range of the rifle!" ”

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte ordered Valevsky to call in veterans who were patrolling the industrial complex.

The veterans first asked Jérôme. Bonaparte saluted and then asked Jérôme. What did Bonaparte command.

Jérôme. Bonaparte assigned a random man and gave him the Mauser rearloader and three cartridges.

"Now, I want you to shoot at the target at about 300, 400 and 500 meters!" Jérôme. Bonaparte commanded the veteran by pointing to a target in the distance.

"Your Majesty, you see! I think I was ...... too," the veteran patted his chest at Jérôme. Bonaparte bragged.

Then the veteran walked about 300 meters, opened the paper bag in his hand, and wanted to pour it into the barrel.

"Wait a minute!" Jérôme. Bonaparte hastened to stop his heartbeat.

Under the veteran's puzzled gaze, Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed to the breech of the Mauser rifle and said to the veteran: "This type of rifle does not need a paper shell to wrap around, it only needs to be stuffed into the rifle as a whole!" ”

"Your Majesty, is this a rear-loading gun?" The veteran's eyes widened and asked Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"yes!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, "What's the matter!" Difficult? ”

"No, no!" The veteran shook his head at Jérôme. Bonaparte, and then couldn't help but remind: "Your Majesty, I heard that the rear-loading gun is far inferior to the front-loading gun in terms of performance!" ”

"It depends on what kind of performance you're talking about!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and replied to the veteran, "If you only evaluate the power and range, the current rear-loading gun really can't be compared with the front-loading gun!" (In the summer of 1866, the range of the Sebo rifle was only the same as that of the Mine, and the power was slightly inferior to that of the Mine)

But if you have to talk about the rate of fire and other things, the rear-loading gun is far better than the front-loading gun.

And the potential of the rear-loading gun is much greater than that of the front-loading gun! ”

"But, I remember my previous commander saying it! He himself would rather die than use a rear-loading gun! "The veteran again said to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

Indeed, at present, under the premise that the rear-loading gun has not experienced real combat (Dreiser also lost face in Olmuts), it is difficult for the conservative forces in the army to completely withdraw a Minérgy rifle that has been tested by the Crimean War!

"It's not up to them!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied resolutely.

As long as the technology of metal fixed ammunition and Mauser rifles is fully mature, he will promote it to the whole army.

Don't stop anyone like him!

The veteran stopped talking and began to stuff the bullet into the breech.

After a while, gunshots rang out, and Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately used a telescope to observe.

Through the telescope, Jérôme. Bonaparte found that there was an extra bullet hole in the target more than 300 meters away from him, and the bullet hole was very close to the bull's-eye.

"Good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte patted the veteran on the shoulder, "You were really good in the army before!" ”

The veteran smiled, then ran to a distance of 400 meters from the target for a second shot.

This time the shot was clearly inferior to the last one, and the bullet holes were already very close to the edge of the target.

When the veteran ran more than 500 meters away from the target, Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately ordered him to change his aim, the veteran was no longer shooting at the target, and the big tree behind the target was much easier to shoot than the target.

"That's fine!" The veteran raised his gun again, and soon there was an extra bullet hole in the tree.

"Go on!" Jérôme. Bonaparte again ordered the veteran to retreat to 600 meters, this time at the edge of the tree.

The veteran's face showed a look of surprise, and he knew that the range of the Migne gun was not much different from that of the Migne gun.

This means that this rearloading gun can completely replace the ecological niche of the Migne gun, and it can reload faster than the Migne gun.

"Good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, then said to the veteran: "You can leave!" ”

The veteran handed the Mauser rear-loading gun to Jérôme. After Bonaparte left, Jérôme. Bonaparte said to old Mauser: "Monsieur Mauser, to tell you the truth, this rifle of yours has reached the point where it can completely replace the Migne rifle, and I really find it hard to believe that you can make such a perfect work in such a short time!" ”
