"Where's the multi-barrel shotgun now?"

Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Alfonso with a slight hurry. Shasserbau.

Alfonso. Shasepo told Jérôme. Bonaparte, the multi-barreled shotgun is still in the R&D department, if Jérôme. If Bonaparte agreed, he could send someone to bring the multi-barreled shotgun over.

Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately ordered Alfonso. Shasebo, bring the multi-barreled shotgun over.

Alfonso. Chasepo received Jérôme. After Bonaparte's command, he turned around and begged Paul. Mauser returned to R&D to pull the multi-barreled shotgun in a horse-drawn cart.

Paul. Without the slightest hesitation, Mauser turned and trotted towards the location of the R&D department.

Chancellor Vajan, who was standing on the side, looked at Jérôme with a hint of confusion. Emperor Bonaparte, he did not understand what kind of weapon could make His Majesty the Emperor so eager to meet him.

For a time, Minister Vayan was also curious about the so-called "multi-barreled shotgun".

And Jérôme. Bonaparte also took advantage of the fact that the "Gatling machine gun" had not yet arrived, and met with Alfonso. Shasepo chatted casually about the various parameters of the machine gun.

From Alfonso. In the mouth of Chasebo, Jérôme. Bonaparte learned that the new rifle weighed about 90 kilograms, had a total of six barrels, each about 26.5 inches (67.3 centimeters) long, and required three to four operators to shoot.

The ammunition used for the machine gun is the same as the ammunition used for the Mauser rifle, which is 11x60mm brass bullets.

"You're doing a great job!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction to Alfonso. Shasebo said.

"It's all up to you and Paul. Mauser their help! "Alfonso. Chasebo was sincere to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Hmmm! Paul. Mauser was also involved in the design? "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"That's right, Your Majesty!"

Alfonso. Chasebo vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said that the magazine for the multi-barreled shotgun was made by Paul. Mauser designed it himself, so the multi-barreled shotgun also had Paul. A credit to Mauser.

"Don't worry! I will not treat any of you badly! "Jérôme. Bonaparte, of course, understood Alfonso. Chasebo meant, he immediately to Alfonso. Chasebo assured.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Alfonso. Chasepo again to Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed in thanks.

"But ......" Jérôme. Bonaparte changed his words and said in a slightly mocking tone: "The premise of all this is that the multi-barreled shotgun you designed can be used in actual combat, and I will not pay for weapons that cannot be used in actual combat!"

”

"Rest assured! I won't let you down! "Alfonso. Shasebo replied in a firm tone.

"Hmm!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, then pointed to Minister Vaillant and Chief of General Staff Niel told Alfonso. The two of them will be the examiners for this test.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

If the "shotgun" designed by Chasepard doesn't satisfy any of them, then it means the ingredients.

Right here in Jérôme. While Bonaparte was chatting, Paul. Mauser appears at the shooting range, and behind him is the "protagonist" waiting to be tested.

At this time, "it" was being carried on the shoulders by four strong men, towards Jérôme. Bonaparte came.

Jérôme. Bonaparte fixed his eyes, and his eyes were instantly attracted by the "gadgets" that the strong man resisted on his shoulders.

That's right, the gadget that resisted on the shoulders of the four strong men was not a Gatling machine gun, and what was it!

No...... It shouldn't be called a Gatling gun, it should be called a Shasebo machine gun.

At the same time, Chief of General Staff Niel and Minister Vayan were also attracted by the "multi-barreled shotgun" that the strong man carried on his shoulder.

Regardless of whether the performance of this "Gatling gun" is good or bad, its design of multiple barrels around one axis is enough to attract attention.

"Quick! Put it here! "Jérôme. As he spoke, Bonaparte beckoned the strong man to carry the machine gun to his side.

After the four strong men had put their machine guns on the ground, Jérôme. Bonaparte sat cross-legged on the ground in spite of the image, stroking the outer structure of the machine gun with his hands, and kept muttering: "That's right, this is it!" ”

After a while, Jérôme. Bonapartatius raised his head again and said to the ministers Niel and Vayan, "Niel, Vayan, come and have a look!" ”

Niel and Vayan crouched down at the same time, their hands stroking the barrel and barrel of their guns.

And Jérôme. Bonaparte pulled out the cylindrical magazine that was stuck upside down at the tip of the machine gun with both hands, and there was not a single bullet in the magazine. Bonaparte asked Alfonso about the magazine, pointing to the magazine. Xia Sebo said: "Mr. Xia Sebo, why are there no bullets in the magazine!" ”

"Your Majesty, please wait!" Paul. Seeing this, Mauser hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte said a word, and then quickly trotted away.

Soon Paul. Mauser reappeared, and now he had an extra cylindrical magazine in his hand.

Paul. Mauser came to Jérôme. Bonaparte handed the magazine to Jérôme with both hands. Bonaparte.

Jérôme. Bonaparte also took the magazine with both hands, and felt that the weight in the magazine was obviously much heavier than the previous one, and he immediately concluded that there must be a lot of bullets in the magazine.

With the help of Vajan and Niel, Jerrome. Bonaparte inserted the full magazine upside down into the groove at the top, and then gently patted the barrel of the gun and asked Paul. Mauser said: "How many bullets are in each magazine?" ”

"Each magazine has 230 rounds, which can be consumed by this rifle for one minute!" Paul. Mauser immediately turned to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

Niel and Minister Vayan invariably looked shocked when they heard that 230 rounds could only last one minute.

Jérôme sitting cross-legged on the ground. Bonaparte, on the other hand, remained unfazed, for whom the rate of fire of 200 rounds per minute was nothing.

Not to mention the rate of fire of the Maxim heavy machine gun, which is known as the widow killer, even if it is the same as Alfonso. The Gatling machine gun, which had a similar design, was capable of up to 1,000 rounds per minute in later refinements.

The rate of fire of 200 rounds is nothing compared to the later ones!

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte then inquired about the principle of the machine gun.

Alfonso. Shasepo told Jérôme. The principle of Bonaparte's machine gun is very simple, that is, the barrel group rotates in a clockwise direction by using a hand-cranked handle located in the right hand, and each barrel receives a round from the top of the inverted magazine when it turns to the "12 o'clock" position, and then rotates to "4 o'clock" to fire, and then discharges the empty cartridge case on the left side of the bottom, and then idles back to the top to receive a new bullet.

And then Alfonso. Shasepo told Jérôme again. Bonaparte, he finally understood why Jérôme. Why did Bonaparte design him to design multiple barrels to rotate around an axis, because this design of multiple barrels operating sequentially can disperse the operation steps, which is conducive to increasing the rate of fire and heat dissipation of the barrel, in the process of rotating one round, the corresponding bolt of each barrel rotates with the barrel in the rotating body guide groove to make reciprocating linear motion (this technology has been completed as early as the period of the Montigny machine gun in 1851), to complete the actions of loading the bomb, locking, firing, unlocking, and shelling.

After listening to Alfonso. After the explanation of Chasepo's self-brain supplement, Jérôme. Bonaparte was likewise silent.

God pity the reason why he let Alfonso. Chasepo designed the multi-barrel rotation entirely because the "historical" Gatling machine gun was like this, and he himself had no idea what this multi-barrel design meant by this layer.

However, for now, since Alfonso. Chasepo thinks he knows everything, so Jerome. Bonaparte had no choice but to continue to maintain a "cold" posture, he only smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Squatting in Jérôme. Bonaparte's Nière and Vaillants once again appealed to Jérôme. Bonaparte gave a shocked look, they did not know how many secrets His Majesty still had in his body.

"Alright, no further ado! It's time to test the performance of the machine gun! "Jérôme. Bonaparte got up and patted the dust off his body as he turned to Alfonso. Shaser said.

Alfonso. Seeing this, Xia Saibo hurriedly nodded, and then gave the order to the strong man who had stayed where he had been to pull the carriage here.

"Mr. Shasebo, what do you want the carriage for?" The Chief of the General Staff Niel asked Alfonso in confusion. Shasserbau.

"Your Excellency, Honorable Chief of Staff, you'll find out in a moment!" Alfonso. Xia Sebo said mysteriously.

After a while, the brawny man drove the wagon carrying the goods to the shooting range, and on this carriage was placed a triangular bracket, which presumably held the machine gun.

Alfonso. Shasebo again gave the order to the strong men, ordering them to place their machine guns on stands.

The brawny man once again picked up the machine gun and fixed it to the triangular bracket.

When everything was ready, the strong man untied his horse, and Alfonso. Chasebo, Paul. Mauser and William. The three Mauser men stood behind the Gatling gun, on the left and right sides, respectively.

Alfonso. Chasebo aimed the muzzle of the gun at the distant target, and then gently turned the handle, and the barrel at the very top also began to turn clockwise from twelve o'clock.

When the topmost barrel was turned to the four o'clock position, there was a "click" sound from the muzzle, and a flash of fire and wisps of white smoke appeared from the muzzle.

Thirty seconds later, the front of the Gatling gun was covered in white smoke.

After about thirty seconds passed, Alfonto. Xia Sebo stopped firing, and at this moment, under the "Gatling gun", more than 200 shells were scattered around, which was particularly spectacular.

"Niel, go over and take a look!" Jérôme. Bonaparte ordered Niel to go to the target's location to investigate.

Neiel trotted to the target of nearly 300 meters, and he couldn't help but gasp when he looked at the dense bullet holes on the target.

Subsequently, he arrived in Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of Jérôme. Bonaparte debriefed.
