Chapter Twelve: The Flintlock
In this world, guns are one of the main combat weapons. Even One Piece Roger has used guns to fight, and many famous gunmen also have high-end combat power.
Alan will not use guns as his main combat method in the future, but he does not reject learning and knowing more combat methods will be of great benefit to the enemy and rich combat methods.
Guladius handed a pistol to Allen and said, "This gun is a flintlock pistol, which is improved by using a revolver to fire the gunpowder, ignite the gunpowder with flint, activate the projectile and shoot it out at the enemy."
Guladius raised a gun and said, "Open the lock, then aim at the enemy and pull the trigger."
Bang.
Guladius pulled the trigger, and smoke was shrouded in. A projectile shot out, hitting the paper gun target in the distance, directly hitting the red heart.
Very accurate.
Alan saw the hollow in the center and was surprised at Guladius's accurate head.
"You try it too."
Guladius said to Allen.
Allen immediately raised his gun, followed suit, aimed at the target, and then pulled the trigger.
Bang.
The lead bullet was shot out and did not hit the target paper in the distance, but instead flew over it.
Seeing this scene, Allen looked a little regretful.
"It's okay, it's like this the first time I shoot."
Guladius comforted him and said, "Then next, I will teach you how to load ammunition."
"The flintlock rifle has been improved, and the firing speed of the reel fire is greatly improved than the firing speed of the reel and the combing rifle."
Guladius took out a paper shell and put it at his mouth and bit it. He first opened the medicine pool and poured some of the gunpowder into it, then poured the remaining gunpowder into the muzzle, took out the lead ball and stuffed it into the muzzle, then took out the strip and stuffed it into the muzzle, and pressed it down.
Then take out the strip, pull the lock, pull the trigger, and the lead ejected out.
"I'll explain it to you."
Guladius pointed to the gun and said, "The flintlock rifle was colliding with flint, and then ignited the gunpowder in the medicine pool. The flames entered the chamber along the fire transmission hole, ignited the gunpowder in the muzzle, and the lead bullet inside was pushed out by explosion."
After saying this, Guladius handed Ellen a paper shell, "Come and try it."
After taking the paper shell, Alan put it next to his mouth. Before he bites it, he felt a little greasy and couldn't help frowning.
"There is animal oil on it to prevent the gunpowder from getting damp," Guladius explained.
"I see."
Alan bit the carton open, and the gunpowder spilled out immediately. He looked at Guladius, who said, "Continue, this gunpowder is fine."
"good."
Alan poured the gunpowder into the medicine pool, but it turned out that it was a little too much. Then he poured the remaining gunpowder into the barrel. Guladius took a skin bag, opened it, poured some gunpowder in it, and then signaled Alan to continue.
Allen put the lead ball in, picked up the strip and stuffed it in, squeezed and deformed the lead ball, and then raised the gun, aimed it at the target, and pulled the trigger.
Bang.
The bullet shot out and hit a corner of the target paper.
"There is no big mistake except for the details."
"You can practice this way, keep practicing," Guladius said.
"But the charge is too slow."
Allen couldn't help but say, "It took nearly two minutes to charge the medicine just now. If you were like this on the battlefield, you would probably be dead."
"That's because you're not very skilled."
Guladius said: "After proficiency, the charging speed can be greatly reduced. If you train for a period of time, you can even reach two seconds."
Guladius said, taking out a paper shell with his right hand, put it on his mouth and bit it, then turned into a afterimage and quickly loaded it up.
It took only two seconds for Guladius to do all this.
Allen remembers that in the original world, the maximum speed of the Flintlock rifle was fifteen seconds to twenty seconds.
However, the physical fitness in this world is incredible, and the hand speed can reach extremely fast speeds. For a strong man like Guladius, the charge can even be reduced to two seconds.
But it will take a long time to practice to his level.
The two-second loading time is still too long for melee masters, and they can easily stick to the opponent.
As if seeing Allen's doubts, Guladius said: "Even if the loading time is reduced to two seconds, it is still very long and is extremely unfavorable in combat. Therefore, except for the flintlock rifle with a relatively long range, most people will not use it as their main weapon. The gunman will bring two or three, while the others will load ammunition and carry it on their bodies, and use it at critical moments."
Hearing this, Allen nodded. The characteristics of the flintlock rifle determine that the application range of the pistol is relatively small.
However, the flintlock rifle has a range of up to 150m to 200m. It can play a significant role in long-distance combat against the enemy and cooperate with shooting technology.
Of course, the flintlock rifle is bound to be unable to become mainstream.
In this world, guns are developing extremely fast, even spanning several eras.
More than ten years later, a six-shot dot 44-caliber revolver appeared.
There were also shotguns, rotary guns, and even super bazooka and Gatling cannons.
But now, the old-fashioned flintlock rifle is dominant and has relatively low efficiency.
Under the supervision of Guladius, Allen and Baby5 Bafaro kept loading ammunition and shooting seriously.
"So tired."
After practicing for a while, Baby5 wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Guladius, my arms are a little tired."
"Then you'll be here today."
Guladiu said with a smile, then looked into the distance and cursed: "Bafaro, don't be lazy for me."
“I’m very tired, too.”
Bafaro sat on the ground and shouted loudly: "I am not only tired, but also very hungry, starving me to death."
"Okay, okay, you can rest too."
Guladius said helplessly, then looked at Alan who continued to load and train, and nodded with satisfaction.
Bang.
Allen raised his arm, aimed at the target paper, pulled the trigger, and the lead ball shot out, penetrated the target paper.
"Nine Rings."
Guladius raised his head slightly, satisfied with Alan's improvement.
But Allen knew that this was a coincidence, because he aimed at the lower half of the ten rings, but he ended up hitting the nine rings above.
Allen continued to charge and shoot, and no longer fell into the target. The minimum number of rings on the target paper is the sixth ring. Allen hits more rings and relatively fewer rings, and the nineth ring is a bit difficult. The tenth ring can only hit occasionally.
Guladius saw Alan's performance becoming more and more stable, and said with satisfaction: "It's done well."
"Thanks."
Allen continued to charge medicine and shoot, and it was another nine ring, and then it was still stable around the fifth ring and six ring.
The difficulty of shooting a fixed target is limited. With professional guidance, shooting a fixed target in a close range within the range can quickly achieve a certain shooting accuracy.
Fixed targets are relatively simple, and the difficulty of shooting from moving targets is very different. There are also many types of mobile targets, including front and back moving targets, horizontal moving targets, pig running targets, and frisbees, and the difficulty continues to increase.
And there are also shooting shooting, combat training, and real battlefield fighting where shooters move.
The difficulty is higher than the other, and in comparison, fixing the target is the easiest.
In addition to aiming, the accuracy of the gun itself and the stability of the arm are very important.
Allen's arms are strong and stability needs to be said, but the flintlock is a type of smoothbore gun. This gun has no rifle and is not very accurate.
Allen felt that the shooting accuracy could not be maintained just because of the lack of rifle and the problem of deformation of lead balls when loading.
Even if the shooting skills are good, shooting may be deviated. I really don’t know how the gunmen in this world can hit every shot.
The time spent is not proportional to the harvest, and the efficiency value is too low.
Your goal is to learn swordsmanship. The sharpness and length of the sword can be obtained with your body.
In addition, learning boxing is beneficial to you, which can increase your reaction ability and physical fitness.
But guns have little effect on themselves, and they have learned too much and share their energy too much.
It’s okay to practice occasionally, but if you practice every day, it’s a waste of time.
However, since Doflamingo asked himself to practice, he could only practice with him.
Allen continued to charge, fill in bullets, and practice shooting.
Even if it doesn't suit me, Alan didn't do it perfunctorily. If he had to do it, then do it with all his heart.
