Chapter 123: Oh my God, shoot so far! (3)
He is just an ordinary person, and his diligence can make up for his shortcomings, but his spear skills are beyond ordinary soldiers.
Seeing Zhu Cijiong's hand on the trigger, Zhang Siyuan's face changed drastically.
Once the sealing in the barrel is not good, the barrel will easily remain without complete burning of gunpowder, which is easy to explode!
Your Majesty is a body of gold. Once the explosion hurts His Majesty, they will die!
The guards were also worried, and the Ming Dynasty took back the land of the palace... Once the Majesty had something unexpected, the foundation that had just been established would collapse!
Your Majesty has no children, and they can’t find anyone if they want to support them!
...
Zhu Cijiong didn't care about the worries of everyone around him.
These Minnie guns, Ding Daniu and the others have tried hundreds of times, and have never had any problems!
His gaze fell on the sight at the muzzle, slightly tweaking the position of the muzzle, overlapping the sight with a human-shaped target a hundred feet away.
Looking at the target in the sight, which was much smaller than the gun, Zhu Cijiong slowly exhaled the air in his chest and abdomen, and his fingers gently placed on the trigger.
Slowly use force at the second joint of the index finger, pulling the trigger through the critical value bit by bit.
"Boom!"
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Zhu Cijiong seemed to hear the sound of the trigger hitting the flint...
"Bang!"
A dull gunshot sound with a bit of depression sound rang out, and red flames were seen spewing out of the muzzle, and the blue smoke from the burning gunpowder floated out of the muzzle, while the human-shaped target in the distance shook slightly.
"I'm hit." Zhu Cijiong took a breath slowly and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"I actually hit it?" Zhang Siyuan's eyes widened!
How is that possible?
At such a long distance, except for lifting a gun, no musket can hit it!
And lift the gun...
Is that thing aiming?
...
"This is impossible!"
Li Tingran's eyes were about to pop out!
Looking at Zhang Da running towards the target, he just felt that he was dreaming!
With such a long distance, even the "poisonous, farthest, and most ruthless" bird gun cannot be done!
...
"Your Majesty is good at shooting!"
Ding Daniu admired him very much. At least thousands of muskets flowed out through his hands.
It can be said that he had touched one-third of the muskets in the army, and every batch of muskets and firearms had to be inspected and tested in person.
Moreover, this test shot is the maximum test shot.
For example, how much gunpowder is loaded is the maximum ability of the barrel to withstand; how many shots are fired continuously, the barrel will be scrapped...
Every time a manufacturing step is replaced, the firearms produced must be retested again.
The limits of these guns were tested by their craftsmanship one by one, using practical methods.
The craftsman workshop will produce a instructions for use for each batch of guns, and will be distributed to the government army along with the guns...
...
Ding Daniu dares to say that he has also shot thousands of bullets with his own hands. However, at such a long distance, he won’t be hit in one shot. Even if he gives him ten shots, he may not be able to hit once!
Your Majesty is worthy of being a fierce man who escaped from the old nest of the Qing Dynasty. This pistol technique is probably outstanding in the army!
...
Everyone had their own thoughts, and Zhang Da was already holding the human-shaped target with joy on his face and walking back along the passage.
Zhu Cijiong used a water-stained cloth into the barrel, wiped the ashes of the gunpowder, and then scraped the barrel with a scraper and continued to load it up.
After he loaded a bullet, Zhang Da had only walked half a distance!
Zhu Cijiong secretly complained: "If a skilled soldier, the rate of fire should be between three and five shots in one minute!"
Through personal test shots, Zhu Cijiong has obtained the rate of fire of a new musket.
He raised his gun and aimed at a humanoid target further away.
"Bang!"
After the gunshot, the human-shaped target swayed endlessly.
...
Seeing Zhu Cijiong lifting his gun again, Zhang Da stepped aside to watch. When he saw the human-shaped target shaking, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God, it's so far!"
This is a distance of 400 meters!
Zhang Da was an old man who came back from the capital with Zhu Cijiong. He naturally knew what this range represents!
If they had such a powerful gun at that time, no one of the slutty princes at the foot of Mount Wutai would have thought of running away!
Even with such a powerful musket, they could fight guerrillas in the capital, and they were afraid that they could scare the Tartars so much that they hid in the turtle shell and dared not come out!
Just imagine, for an ordinary mansion, you only need to find a commanding height in the center of the city, and a gun that can block the entire city will have. How powerful will it be!
...
Zhu Cijiong cleaned the gun chamber with satisfaction...
Not bad, not bad, the shooting accuracy can be stabilized within 120 feet, which is 400 meters!
...
Regarding Minnie Gun, later generations have a cognitive misunderstanding.
Because this front-mounted rifled gun is replaced by a rear-mounted rifled gun, people always subconsciously believe that the range of this gun is not good.
In fact, it is not the case.
The Minnie gun has a practical record, the maximum accuracy range is about 1,100 meters, which is obtained on the battlefield where the two armies are fighting.
This is not possible in many later generations, except for the special blocking guns.
Of course, the reason why the Minnie gun can hit so far is because the barrel is thick, the gunpowder is loaded, and the bullet is large, the wind resistance is strong, and the ballistics are stable.
In terms of range and power alone, the Minnie rifle surpasses most rifles in later generations.
The fundamental reason for the elimination of the Minnie gun is the loading speed and the logistical pressure brought by large-caliber bullets!
...
Looking at the shaking target, Zhang Siyuan, Li Tingran and others were already shocked and unspeakable.
They opened their mouths and watched Zhu Cijiong clear the gun chamber again and loaded the bullets, but their minds were confused...
Only the last thought was left wandering between their hearts - how is this possible?
...
"Bang!"
The dull gunshot sounded particularly recognizable...
Zhu Cijiong shot a humanoid target at 150 feet to the ground with one shot, and a smile appeared on his lips-
This is a perfect target of five hundred meters!
Effective blocking and killing within a radius of one mile is simply an insolvent problem for mountainous terrain!
And this is not the maximum range of Minnie's attack!
The Minnie gun in his hand is almost no different from the Minnie gun in the great era in history, and the Minnie gun has created a record of precise killing at a distance of 1,100 meters.
Even if such a sharpshooter is hard to find, it should be possible to choose a good player who wants to block and kill at a distance of 700 to 800 meters!
Zhu Cijiong instantly thought of the way to maximize the power of this musket.
...
Zhang Siyuan, Li Tingran and others were shocked.
Chapter completed!
