The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 448 Excellent Firearms Beyond Imagination

With the completion of the system upgrade, Jiang Chuan has found that the production efficiency of the system has been doubled.

In just two days, except for the battleship, all his muskets and artillery orders have been produced.

Of course, these guns and artillery produced are still within the base area. If Jiang Chuan wants to bring them to the real world, he must use the system's two-way exchange function, that is to say, he must pay the system a handling fee.

Although he complained that the system was a vampire, Jiang Chuan had no time to take care of these things at this time. He couldn't wait to exchange the samples of the new guns and artillery from the system, and planned to try them first to test their power.

When the new musket was in his hand, Jiang Chuan looked left and right, and felt that the musket in front of him was much more sophisticated than he expected.

First of all, let's talk about the rotary rear pull rifle used by infantry.

The overall length of this gun even exceeds the breech-loading rifles seized from Japanese pirates, and compared to the rifles seized from Japanese pirates, the rifles produced by the system are obviously more sophisticated.

For example, a bayonet slot is installed on the barrel of the gun, although Jiang Chuan currently provides all musketeers with a short knife for close combat.But if you are on the battlefield, you may not have time to draw out your secondary weapons to fight.

Therefore, it is very necessary to add a bayonet to the rifle, although this will affect the accuracy of the rifle to a certain extent.However, the lesser of two evils, the addition of bayonets can make soldiers have a higher survival rate on the battlefield.

Another change is the addition of a dust cover on the loading port at the rear of the barrel.

In addition, the shape of the gun stock is also more suitable for ergonomics, making it more comfortable to hold.

Of course, Jiang Chuan thinks that the most critical improvement is the rotating pull-type bolt that appears on the back of this rifle, which is the kind of rotating pull-type rifle that looks like an old sleeve that we often see in film and television dramas.

Although in the World War II era, the old sleeve was already a very outdated antique and was despised by others.But in this era, it is no different from a revolutionary part in the history of muskets

You must know that although the breech-loading rifles seized from the Japanese pirates were loaded from the rear, they still needed to use iron bars to poke the bullets into the gun chambers before they could be fired normally.

In this way, the shooting speed will naturally be greatly affected.

After adding the bolt, you only need to gently pull the bolt to push the bullet into the barrel quickly and get ready for firing.The rate of fire is naturally doubled.

Of course, the most fundamental improvement and upgrade of a rifle is to upgrade from a smooth-bore gun without a rifle to a rifled gun.And compared to the rifled guns in Japanese pirates' hands, there is only one rifling line, while the system's muskets have two rifling lines.

What this represents, naturally represents a longer range, a more stable trajectory, and higher accuracy.

This is from the gun itself.

In addition, in terms of bullets, the musket bullets seized from Japanese pirates were still paper shell bullets.

If it were placed before today, the paper shell bullets could be regarded as the most advanced musket bullets that Jiang Chuan had seen in this era.

But compared with the upgraded musket bullets, this kind of paper shell bullets can already be thrown into the garbage dump, because the bullets manufactured by the system are now close to the streamlined pointed bullets of later generations, except that the head is rounder. .

However, compared with the original paper case bullets and lead bullets, this kind of bullet has much enhanced ballistic stability and penetration.

After the test shooting, Jiang Chuan finally found a little bit of the feeling of shooting in military training from this rotary pull-bolt rifle.

After the test firing, Jiang Chuan was surprised to find that the effective range of this musket could reach [-] paces, or even farther.

At a distance of three hundred steps, it can even penetrate iron armor.

Moreover, he found that after the technical upgrade, there was basically no white smoke after the original musket was fired, and there was basically no smoke.

This surprised Jiang Chuan, thinking that the system seems to have upgraded the original black powder to smokeless powder.

Compared with black powder gunpowder, smokeless gunpowder burns more fully, and the power is naturally stronger.

In this way, it also clears the sight of the soldiers on the battlefield, so that they won't be filled with smoke every time they fight, just like the monsters are dispatched.

The structure of the carbine is actually the same as that of the rifle, except that there is no bayonet installed on it, and the barrel is shorter and the butt has been improved, making it more suitable for shooting on horseback.

The pistols are the same, except that the pistols at this time have longer barrels and larger calibers than those of later generations.Moreover, the shooting distance is relatively limited, and it will have a strong lethality within [-] steps.

But beyond twenty paces, the accuracy is terrible, and only God knows where the bullet will eventually hit.

Although only one bullet can be loaded at a time, if you are proficient, the firing speed is also very fast.

As for the artillery, after upgrading from the original field artillery to the howitzer, it has also undergone all-round technical upgrades.

Including the longer barrel and smaller caliber, the barrel has changed from the original smooth bore to the rifle, which means that the rifling has been added, which will make the artillery fire a longer range and higher accuracy. The launch has been changed to a rear-mounted drawstring launch, and the launch speed has been increased several times.

Moreover, the shells have also changed from the original round shells to streamlined copper shells.

Moreover, there are auxiliary devices such as gyroscopes to assist aiming on the gun body. In this way, the accuracy of aiming far exceeds the accuracy of manual aiming by artillery before, and the shooting speed is further improved.

The direct-fire gun is similar to the anti-tank gun of later generations, but it looks rougher, and the barrel is thicker and thicker.

The appearance of the two mortars is also similar to the mortars of later generations, but they look more cumbersome.According to the different caliber, it is divided into light and medium.

Jiang Chuan ordered people to take these guns to the school field of the military camp outside the city for test firing, and found that these guns were designed to meet the combat needs of different distances.

Howitzers are more suitable for long-range fire cover, while direct-firing guns are a sharp weapon for loyal offense and defense, and are very useful against enemy siege weapons and infantry.

The two mortars are mainly for the convenience of the infantry to carry, and provide limited fire support in a small area as the infantry advances.

The power of these muskets and artillery made Jiang Chuan very satisfied.

He quickly exchanged all the guns and cannons he manufactured, and then left a small part for the guard camp, most of them were escorted to the front line of Weihaiwei and handed over to Hu Zongxian.

The additional new naval warships have also been launched one after another.

After the construction is completed, except for a few defensive mountains and seaports, the rest will be assigned to Deng Shichang in Weihaiwei.

Jiang Chuan believed that with the addition of this batch of advanced guns and artillery, as well as heavy warships, the Qin army's water combat capability could almost be said to be quite powerful, and it could be said that it was almost easy to wipe out a group of thousands of Japanese pirates.
