Durin's Diary

Chapter 571: Gun is a Cannon
Making a gun for a four-meter-tall giant is a challenge for Durin.

Furthermore, these giants were so massive that if they were to use the lift, accidents might happen, and if they were to walk up, they were afraid the steps would be too much for them.

In the end, Dulin had no choice but to take them to the manufacturing plant recommended by Lord Angalio - near the coast, north of the city.

Mr. An Jialuo personally brought a group of people to the factory.

The owner of the factory was an elf. When he saw the newcomers, he made a long face and asked, "What are these giants doing here?"

"I know you elves and giants have some conflicts, but I think it's even more unsafe to let them go to the Everburning Nest." Angario pointed at Durin and Lann who were blocked behind by the giants.

The elf's face suddenly broke into a smile. "Welcome to the elves' Summer Sea Workshop, respected Lord Durin, your arrival is a breath of fresh air for us long-eared people."

Durin smiled, touched his chest, and performed the elven etiquette: "I'm sorry to bother you. Although the giants are large and have some grudges against us elves, they are ultimately fighting against the aliens and the green-skinned orcs. They are our allies. Helping them is also helping ourselves."

Beautiful words may sound different to different people, but the phrase "we elves" always sounded particularly appealing when uttered by Durin. The Sun Elf smiled and nodded. "You are right. I will prepare something for you and these giants."

Making a gun for a giant is actually a very troublesome task, because it is not as simple as enlarging a gun or shrinking a cannon.

All parts must be enlarged, and the material costs are absolutely incomparable.

But now it is not a problem of material cost. Du Lin asked these giants to find him some muskets that they are currently using.

Then the giants gathered four weapons together - some were found in the giant caravan, some were bought from the gun shop, and one was simply a bronze cannon borrowed from the Skitarii.

After having the cannon returned, Du Lin began to check his weapons.

"What ugly things, but considering their size, the new type of muskets you made for other creatures look more like toys to them." The elf sighed - his name was Willis Holy Oak, and Willis was the human name he chose for himself because he had worked in the Evercast Fortress for many years. If he was called Xia Ye Holy Oak, it would sound a bit strange.

After all, in the world of Japanese elves, elven names are often only used between acquaintances.

Isn't it? A 30mm shotgun grenade is directly mounted on a one-handed firing mechanism and used as a pistol.

Daju complained.

Giant technology, shocking people.

Eleven simply complained directly.

Du Lin shook his head: "There's nothing we can do. The bullets we use are like nails to giants."

The second one... let's call it a gun.

After all, it does look like a gun, except that the caliber is a bit larger.

Lan En looked at the 40mm caliber shotgun on the table, compared it with her own arm, and finally looked at Du Lin: "This is a cannon."

"It's a cannon, my dear girl." Du Lin helplessly took the huge 'gun', loaded it with bullets, and then fired a shot at the target in the distance.

Du Lin's strength and physique allowed him to withstand the recoil of the shooting, but the shot still destroyed everything in its path.

The Shara beast that was bought as a target was directly turned into a broken corpse, and the ducks and chickens with their feet tied turned into blood mist.

"It's worthy of being a giant's weapon. I don't think any mortal can block it." Willis sighed.

"This is basically a small artillery. This style, you copied it from me, right?" Du Lin asked after putting the gun on the table.

"Yes, sir, it's a style that's become popular recently. Giant mercenaries love it, because even a goblin charge wouldn't be able to withstand two rounds," said the plains giant Harlans honestly. "Let me see this, a two-and-a-half-meter-long rifle." Du Lin picked up the longest weapon on the table.

It uses 20mm cannon ammunition with a long shell.

This type of bullet was also made by Durin, and is used in the Eastern Elf Territory to shoot giant aliens in the head.

The giants are quite good at making things, thanks to the amazing blacksmiths.

However, even though it was built, the giant couldn't make a magazine, so the gun was single-shot - that is, you pull the firing pin, install the primer, and then load the bullet from the back.

Similar to the Springfield 1866 rifle in my world.

We have it too.

All in all, the giants' gun is really good.

Du Lin found the farthest target and easily hit it from 500 meters away, smashing it into pieces.

A large caliber means you can do whatever you want - because of the bullet weight and barrel length, the bullet has almost no drop in the first two hundred meters of flight, and the subsequent drop is not much either.

"It's a good gun, but it's too big. You elves can use it." After Du Lin finished speaking, he rubbed the recoil stock with his hands, installed a bipod in front of the gun, and installed a four-fold scope. Then he asked Willis to try to fire a shot in a prone position.

The bullet hit the target three hundred meters away.

Willis said the recoil was still strong, but at least it didn't break all his bones.

Du Lin thought about it and installed a flame suppressor brake on the muzzle of the gun.

After firing another shot, Willis said the recoil was much less.

So Du Lin modified the butt of the gun again. This time, the elf said it felt much better and felt that the elf could also use the gun.

"I'll modify the ammunition supply system for you later. It will accommodate 20mm caliber long ammunition. Some of the alien species and monsters that you used to use magic to deal with can now be dealt with with just two bullets from this thing. This way, I'll consider it as the cost of borrowing your space." After saying this, Du Lin looked at the two giants who were eager to try. "The weapons you want are very large. I need to make a prototype. So, do you have meteorite ingots?"

"Yes." The frost giant Mort patted his chest and said, "I can provide as much as you want, my lord."

"Sir, we plains giants also have them," Harlans added.

"We don't need too much. The materials in key positions require high-strength alloys," said Du Lin.

Durin was afraid that the giants would be heartbroken if he used too much of it - after all, they themselves rarely used this stuff when making weapons. When Melinda wanted a few hundred grams of the material, the Giant King's Court was stingy with it for several years. It was not until Durin became a legend that the material was approved.

Damn, the daylily is cold!

There are four major categories of firearm components, namely main force-bearing components, secondary force-bearing components, high-frequency force-bearing components and high-temperature resistant high-frequency force-bearing components.

These parts must be made of high-strength materials. In this era when engineering plastics are considered a fantasy, it is no problem for a user like Giant who has invincible strength to use a little more metal material.

But in terms of gun types.

Du Lin, Da Ju and Shi Yi have three completely different opinions.
