"Ahem, this smoke is too big."

While coughing, Zhang Qi fanned his hands and walked out of the smoke.

This is also in line with the scene after the line infantry platoon was fired in the early days of a large number of smoothbore guns.

"Ahem, go get the grass target."

When the smoke cleared, Zhang Qi called softly, and Bai Xing, who had long been puzzled, stepped forward to carry the grass target back without saying a word.

Only this time, there was no surprise on her face after the rifled gun shot before, but a look of confusion.

"Your Majesty, did you really shoot successfully just now?"

When Bai Xing asked him like this, Zhang Qi understood what he was, and his eyes swept over the grass target, and sure enough.

The grass target was intact and there was no trace of impact.

"The projectile at the firing distance of twenty meters has drifted"

"Shadow Guard! Look for holes in nearby walls and floors! ”

"No!"

More than 30 shadow guards responded in unison, and then carefully searched the school grounds.

About two quarters of an hour later, a shadow guard found traces of the warhead on the wall thirty or forty meters behind the grass target.

Looking at the smoothbore gun in his hand, Zhang Qi couldn't help but shake his head.

You say no, judging from the bullet marks brought back by the shadow guard, at a distance of nearly 100 meters, the damage ability of the lead bullet is still enough.

You have to say okay, twenty meters, you can't hit anyone, and you can't even figure out whether there is a ballistic.

This is good news, and there is bad news.

"Ten meter target!"

Zhang Qi ordered the target to be set up again, and this time to see if the distance of ten meters could be on the target.

Open the upper bullet port and clean up the confetti and residue inside, Zhang Qi once again loaded a single-headed round bullet.

Smack-

The smoke filled again, but this time the difference was that the target ten meters away also exploded at the moment of the gunshot.

Judging from the performance of power, the lethality of the smoothbore gun is actually more fierce than that of the rifled gun.

However, Zhang Qi guessed that this may have something to do with the material of the warhead.

The ammunition warhead of the smoothbore gun is made of lead, which is a soft material, and there must have been a drastic change in shape when touched after firing, which is why the grass target exploded.

The performance of the smoothbore gun at a distance of ten meters finally satisfied Zhang Qi.

As long as it is clear that the projectile will go in an approximate direction after leaving the muzzle, then in large-scale battles it can be compensated for by quantity.

No one stipulates that a 10-meter accurate shooting distance cannot be pulled up to 100 meters away.

According to the density of the soldiers in this era, after a salvo, it may directly cause the opposing soldiers to disperse.

If one round is not enough, then shoot in three stages.

Looking at the grass target that had become pieces and didn't need to be carried back, Shirahoshi's eyes lit up again.

In her eyes, the smoothbore gun in Zhang Qi's hand is now more precious than the rifled gun she holds in her hand.

Whether it is accurate or not is not too accurate for her at present, but whether the damage is big or not is what she has witnessed.

"Your Majesty."

Looking at the look in Bai Xing's eyes, Zhang Qi didn't have to guess, he knew that this girl wanted to get started, and the look in her eyes was exactly the same as the look in her eyes when she saw the whale for the first time.

"Don't worry, I'll try shotgun again."

"What kind of bomb is it?"

Shirahoshi asked curiously.

"It's a kind of scattered bullet, you call it a scattered bullet."

Zhang Qiyan explained succinctly.

There is nothing wrong with a bullet that can be dispersed, and it is called a scatter bullet.

"Oh."

Bai Xing nodded half-incomprehensibly.

"Standing targets, four targets arranged horizontally, no spacing."

This time, Zhang Qi chose to arrange the grass targets on all sides in one place, so that the diffusion surface of the scattered bombs could be tested.

Let's start with the horizontal, and you can see the traces of the ground in the upper and lower ranges.

Cleared, loaded.

With a crisp snap closing, Zhang Qi raised his gun again to aim.

Bang –

Unlike the gunfire of the previous shots, this time the gunfire was a little muffled and there was some rustling.

Crackling.

Standing on the grass target on all sides ten meters away, it was as if it had been hit by a torrential rain.

The thirty or forty small iron beads in the paper-wrapped warhead hit the grass target like scattered flowers of a heavenly maiden.

So much so that after the grass target was moved back by the shadow guards, it was covered with scattered holes.

Three or four less, a dozen more.

Contrary to Zhang Qi's expectations.

By looking at the number of bullet holes, he was surprised to find that the iron balls in the shotgun were actually on target.

Although it is not a target.

However, it can be inferred from the diffusion marks that the iron ball was still confined to a relatively narrow passage after leaving the barrel.

"Okay."

"It's all ready to use."

Two guns, three bullets Zhang Qi finished the experiment, he handed the firearm to Bai Xing, who was already a little dumbfounded, and he thought about it.

Nowadays, if the firearms workshops in the world of riding and slashing are fully producing, they can produce at least 20,000 rifled guns in a year, and the production of smoothbore guns without milling rifling is even larger, and there is no problem with 100,000 a year.

This is also the reason why there are not many gunsmiths in the world of riding and chopping.

However, now that the guns are just starting out, Zhang Qi will not ask them to produce them with all their might, and 10,000 smoothbore guns and 300 rifled guns are enough to be built first.

10,000 smoothbore guns are more than enough to arm a line of 3,000 soldiers, and it can't be all big soldiers, you have to select some talents from among the students.

In this way, in daily training and wartime, data can be better collected for iterative upgrades.

These two kinds of firearms have just come out, and the end of direct mass production is only waste, it is better to start from small and sophisticated, and wait for the real firearms to meet Zhang Qi's needs, then it is the time to install them in large quantities.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qi raised his eyes and looked at a shadow guard.

"Arrange the vehicle after noon, I want to go back to Liaoning once."

"No."

The shadow guard gave up and went to arrange the frame for the trip.

On the other side, Shirahoshi was still happily holding the gun in his hand.

Feel here, look there, and from time to time learn what Zhang Qi looks like when he shoots to aim.

Seeing her favorite look, Zhang Qi smiled, took out a rifle bullet, and began to instruct Bai Xing how to load the bullet and aim.

"Remember, no matter whether there is a bullet or not, you are not allowed to point the gun at the person, this habit must be cultivated."

While guiding Bai Xing to play, Zhang Qi ordered solemnly.

"Yes."

Shirahoshi is also solemn.

"Okay, the bullet is on, the safety on the side of the trigger can be put down."

"Like using a crossbow, use the lookout mountain to aim, and the lookout groove behind the gun body coincides with the bulge in the front of the muzzle and the target."

"Pull the trigger!"

Syllable!

The gunshot rang out, and Bai Xing's body was also shaken, but fortunately, she came out of the women's barracks with a lot of strength, and her body shape did not change much.
