Then he pressed his thumb and covered the medicine pool, which could prevent the gunpowder from scattering out.

Then he turned the rifle upside down, wrapped it around the muzzle with his index finger and thumb of his left hand, forming a small funnel, and poured the gunpowder from the paper tube into the chamber.

Then he squeezed out a spherical lead bullet from the end of the paper tube.

The lead bullet dropped into the barrel with a "crack" sound.

In the end, Shen Mo kneaded the empty paper tube in his hand into a ball and stuffed it into the barrel.

Then with a "brush", the strip under the barrel was pulled out, and the ammunition inside was compacted three times.

At this time, the paper tube used to pack bullets and gunpowder plays a plug in the barrel.

After the paper ball is tightened tightly, even if the muzzle of the rifle is facing down, the lead bullet inside will not slide out.

Then Shen Mo pulled out the whole strip and picked up the rifle, aiming at the courtyard wall at the farthest point of Canglang Garden.

He broke the gun with his hand and the gun came into place with a "click".

After aiming for a moment, he pulled the trigger without hesitation! The trigger felt dry and dry, showing that the blacksmith who made this gun had a bit of polishing skills.

In the midst of lightning, the bolt filled with force quickly fell down, and on the arc-shaped inclined surface made of steel from the top of the pot cap, a few sparks were knocked out with a "bang".

At the same time, the medicine pool cap was also knocked upwards, and the Mars instantly fell into the medicine pool.

Then the explosion of gunpowder was transmitted into the gun chamber along the fire transmission hole, igniting the "boom" of the launching medicine inside, and a gray-white smoke came out of the muzzle.

This process is very long, but in fact, it is completed in less than a third of a second.

...A heavy bullet shot out immediately. On the stone wall with thick moss marks, a corner of a stone was knocked off, and stone chips splashed everywhere.

“This thing is done well.”

Shen Mo smiled and put the gun on the table. Then he saw the devil Liang Er and his wife Zhang Yiru, and both frowned and looked at him. Shen Mo was very familiar with the shooting of the gun this time, and that was fine.

He even affirmed the advantages of the enemy's weapons, which surprised the two people next to him.

Shen Mo smiled and pointed to the launching mechanism on the gun and said, "This thing is simple and effective. Although the flint is wrapped in iron and cannot be disassembled and adjusted at will, if you want to replace it, you can complete it quickly with simple tools."

"By the way, in the weather without wind and rain, the success rate when it fires is quite high."

"Then it's this barrel."

Shen Mo pointed a hexagonal gun pipe with his hand: "This thing has taken the effort of these Mongolian blacksmiths!"

"This is made of fine steel with high-quality iron material, and then into steel plates. It burns it red and rolls it onto the iron column while making it."

"Looking at the interface on the barrel, each section of the barrel is about one foot long. They made three such barrels, and then burned them red and fused them together."

"After this, they have to drill holes in the barrel again... Of course, this time when drilling, it is not as hard as drilling a solid steel string."

"After drilling through, the craftsman will polish the inner chamber and drill holes into the breeze to install a flintlock gun.

Actually, the real interesting thing is this..." When he said this, Shen Mo pointed at the gun with his finger.

At this time, Zhang Yiru discovered that there were three iron hoops on the wooden gun, which tightly tied the wood and the barrel.

"This thing actually doesn't seem to be technical, but it's very important."

Shen Mo said thoughtfully: "Because they made three of this iron hoops and were very strong, this made the combination of the barrel and the gun body several times stronger.

This shows that their musket has undergone a lot of trials and sufficient improvements."

"These three iron hoops can prove that they have spent countless efforts and effort on improving this kind of gun!"

"Of course, there are also the complete loading of bullets they made.

Don't underestimate this thick paper roll integrates firing medicine, firing medicine and gun bullets.

Such a simple paper tube can increase the firing efficiency of the musket by more than twice as much as the Jin Kingdom Fire Dragon Cannon ignited by the fuse!"

“…Then it’s time to talk about shortcomings, teacher.”

At this time, Zhang Yiru next to him was praising the gun when he heard Shen Mo say so much.

She was also worried that Liang Er, who was next to her, would be depressed after hearing this, so she hurriedly reminded Shen Mo.

Shen Mo smiled and said, "Of course there are also shortcomings in this gun, and there are quite a few!"

… “First of all, although such a flintlock rifle can withstand a certain degree of wind and rain, it still cannot be fired in heavy winds and heavy rains.

Either the gunpowder gets damp, or the gunpowder is blown away by the wind as soon as it is poured out."

"Then there is no rifle in their barrel, and the shooting distance of this kind of smoothbore gun is much closer than our rifles.

Moreover, when drilling holes for the barrel, due to the material limitation of the drill bit, the inner chamber can no longer be fine if it reaches 2.5 cm."

"In addition, their gunpowder purification process still has problems. Although they learn from the launching medicine in our gun bullets, they have turned into pelleted gunpowder, which is much more effective than their original powder gunpowder.

But it will still cause a large amount of gunpowder residue, and the detonation speed during launch is too slow and the force is insufficient."

"In addition, the sight of this gun and the sight of the gun were filed out by craftsmen on the barrel, which was completely impossible to adjust.

The warrior who got this gun had to fight for a long time before he could understand its temper.

You can't aim at the target when aiming, you need to manually stagger the deviation of the sight."

"With such a sight, you can only be a warrior and a gun. If you hold someone else's gun, you won't be able to hit the target far away."

Speaking of this, Shen Mo looked up and saw Zhang Yiru and Liang Er staring at the knife-shaped sight of the file on the gun, stunned.

"So the effective range of this gun is 150 meters long, which is exactly twice the range of Mongolian bows and arrows.

This thing is undoubtedly a good thing for the Mongolians. It was made by them racking their brains and using their strength to feed themselves.”

"Now, this kind of flintlock rifle can be mass-produced in Mongolia, right?"

Speaking of this, Shen Mo turned his head and looked at Liang Er.

"Yes, this is what my subordinates want to report this time."

When Liang Er heard this, he nodded without hesitation! "Teacher, as you said, this gun is not very powerful?"

At this time, Zhang Yiru blinked from the side, and asked Shen Mo with a hint of surprise: "It's much worse than our rifle!"

"You don't understand."

Shen Mo shook his head and said to Zhang Yiru: "Based on their craftsmanship, they could have made this kind of gun more precise and more accurate."

"But the reason why they designed it so roughly and simply is that they have to produce in large quantities and win with quantity!"
