Chapter 905 This Gun Is Simple and Can Be Copied
Everyone went to bed that night, and the next morning, everyone ate steamed buns and drank lean meat porridge.
"Everything that involves flying into the sky must be eaten with steamed buns." Li Yi explained to the four people.
The four of them didn't understand why they had to eat steamed buns when flying into the sky?
"Tradition, we must inherit the fine traditions." Li Yi added, don't ask.
"There are two things today, which are the latest scientific and technological achievements of our Datang Dynasty so far. One is a weapon, the gun that Lao Bi mentioned. The other is a triangular glider, which can make people fly down slowly from high altitudes."
Li Yi told the four people two things and asked them to choose which one to look at first.
"Gun!" Bi Gou and Wei Zhigu said at the same time.
Song Jing nodded, he didn't care, just shoot.
Everyone knows what a gun is. Li Yi had one. It was very powerful. He took it to Songzhou with Guo Ziyi and killed many junior generals in the Tubo army.
Now that you have made it yourself, you can equip the army and take a look.
After the meal, a group of people slowly walked towards the shooting range.
Guo Ziyi and Hao Lingquan were waiting at the shooting range, with a long cloth bag placed next to them.
Guo Ziyi nodded to Li Yi, everything was ready.
Li Yi picked up the bag, untied the rope, and took it off, revealing the heavy rifle inside.
"This flintlock gun with a paper-cased lead bullet at the rear and a spiral bore on the inside of the barrel has spanned countless years of technological development at once."
Li Yi held the gun and introduced that it was indeed not easy. Rifling was a specially manufactured equipment.
The steel pipe is hammered out, not cast. There are too many trach holes in the casting, and the inside of the barrel is not smooth.
The key is that it is easy to have perforations and fractures in the trachoma parts, and then the chamber will explode.
"Xiao Yi, how does it compare to your gun?" Bi Gou came over and touched the gun. It was very cold.
"My sniper rifle? Technically, there is a world of difference. Shooting from a distance of sixty feet makes no difference.
I can never shoot a hundred of these guns with one gun, because the bullets of this gun are lethal to me at that distance. "
Li Yi raised the gun and took aim. It was so heavy that his arm couldn't bear it for a long time.
"Can it hit sixty feet?" Song Jing was interested in the distance. Sixty feet was much more than a hundred steps, and ordinary bows and arrows couldn't hit it.
"The eye will be injured even if it is hit from a distance of eighty feet. It depends on how much gunpowder is installed. If it is more, it will be one hundred feet.
It's just that it's not accurate at long range, much worse than my gun.
Keep the distance, my gun is facing 100 people at a distance of 200 feet, I can snipe them to death.
I have never made a flash cap for this gun, nor have I developed a firing pin primer.
One minute...a quarter of an hour can fire between ninety and one hundred and twenty shots, which is faster than a normal archer. "
Li Yi emphasized "normal" and looked at Guo Ziyi next to him.
Guo Ziyi nodded in agreement, it was indeed fast.
Hao Lingquan said: "The distance is far, the distance is close, the archer is fast, it depends on the power of the bow.
If you are fast, you may not be able to penetrate the armor. Even if you shoot at the enemy at close range, the enemy will still be able to kill you with an arrow stuck in it.
Distance, bow power, accuracy, and the opponent's equipment all affect the outcome of the battle. "
Su Ting also came over to touch the gun: "The biggest advantage is the long range?"
"No, the biggest advantage is that the arm will not be strained and it can keep shooting. The archer will not be able to draw the bow if he shoots too much, and at the same time, the aim will gradually decrease."
Guo Ziyi said from his own experience that he likes to use a bow, but ordinary archers cannot bear it.
Li Yi took over: "The other is that the training speed is fast. In an emergency, I can teach you how to shoot a few shots, so that ordinary people can shoot on their own."
"Take a dozen and see." Wei Zhigu didn't want to hear it anymore and wanted to see the actual operation.
So Li Yi gave the gun to Guo Ziyi. The gun belonged to Guo Ziyi, and it was in Guo Ziyi's hands within a few days.
Guo Ziyi has been practicing and has knocked out thousands of bullets.
Li Yi didn't want to be embarrassed. He knew what kind of talent Guo Ziyi had in sports and was willing to train hard. This gun was given to Guo Ziyi and could be used as a sniper rifle.
Choose a good location and stand up the target, a human-shaped target with arms and legs.
The target was placed at a distance of thirty feet. Guo Ziyi took out the paper shell bullets, which were all in one piece, and removed the air-locking lever under the gun.
The air-tight parts of this gun are based on the Sharps Rifle Model 1859. The air-locking rod is moved down and the bullets are loaded from the back.
Then the air-locking rod rises up and cuts off part of the paper behind the bullet when it is closed.
The flint hammer for firing was lifted, and the trigger was carried.
Open the lid of the igniting gunpowder pool next to it, take a cowhide bag, pour a little gunpowder into the medicine pool, and close the lid of the medicine pool.
Point your gun at the target, turn your head to look at others, and be ready.
Everyone nodded and picked up their binoculars.
Li Yi said: "Left eye."
Guo Ziyi raised the gun, pointed the rear sight at the star, took aim, and pulled the trigger.
Three sounds of "click, click, click" sounded almost together, a puff of smoke came out, and the human-shaped target over there was shot between the eyebrows.
"The left eye was not hit." Guo Ziyi lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
Everyone: "..."
Li Yi nodded to express his understanding and told the others: "If Ziyi had used a bow and arrow, he would have hit his left eye. The accuracy of this gun is too poor."
"Rate of fire." Bi Gou didn't want to comment on whether it was accurate or not. The deviation was too small and he could hit the enemy just as well.
Guo Ziyi began to operate quickly, pulling the hammer, lowering the gas lock lever, loading the bullet, raising the gas lock lever, opening the medicine tank, pouring the medicine, closing the medicine tank, and firing.
Repeatedly, each time the bullet was fired, the bullet hit the target person's head.
Li Yi counted the time, one minute, eleven shots, so fast.
"Okay, everyone, according to my calculation, normal archery means that every arrow can hit the target at that distance in one minute, about four to five times.
Using this gun, skilled people can shoot eight times, relatively skilled people can shoot six times, Ziyi does not count, he is different from normal people.
Of course, if you practice this every day, ordinary people can also do more than eight times.
The key is that everyone has seen that it is very easy, there are only a few steps.
It is not very useful on rainy days, unless you hold an umbrella, otherwise the medicine pool of the ignition powder will lose its effect when it encounters water.
Wait a minute, wait until I have time to make fulminate of mercury, it is too dangerous and troublesome, I don't want to make it.
It consumes a lot of sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and alcohol, mercury is not worth money, and it will go off if you are not careful."
Li Yi did not shoot, he explained that he could not shoot accurately with the same gun, but the gun was designed by him.
Bi Gou and others listened patiently, the steps were simple, and the gun did not seem complicated.
"Li Yi, this gun is easy to copy. If the Tibetans get it..." Song Jing frowned, afraid that it would be easily obtained by others.
"Easy to copy? How can it be easy to copy? Do you know how many parts there are?
You see there are few parts outside, but there are many inside. Just one spring can tire Tubo craftsmen to death.
There are also steel pipes. I won't tell anyone. Tubo can only use cast iron.
They don't know the proportion of gunpowder. This is all granular gunpowder.
Can they pull the rifling? They don't understand what the rear sight and the front sight are used for. Now..."
Li Yi talked about the difficulty of making this gun. The bullet head is a technical job.
The Minié bullet made of lead is similar to the bullet used by the air gun he used to shoot birds at that time.
The difference is that the air gun uses this kind of lead bullet to be pushed by air, and no additional things are needed.
There is a pointed cork in the current integrated bullet. After firing, the cork fixes the lead bullet to become larger, and then it perfectly combines with the rifling and flies out in a rotation.
"Do you understand?" Li Yi asked after he finished speaking.
A few people blinked and understood. It was very powerful and difficult to copy.
