Chapter 1165 The Brain Is Shaped Like Muscle

The firing mechanism of the new catapult is similar to the hunters' crossbow.

It uses the power of the crossbow and gunpowder at the same time, and its power is incomparable to the previous one, especially when it is fully fired, it is almost comparable to the shotgun fired by the light crossbow.

Of course, the hunters will not really use it as a weapon because it is troublesome and time-consuming to load the catapult. To replace the propellant, you need to find stones of suitable shape and size as projectiles.

If you have this spare time, wouldn't it be more practical to chop a few more swords?

Moreover, the recoil of the projectile fired by the catapult is quite large, and even the movements of the fully armed hunters will be affected, and they cannot be used in the attack.

This further reduces the possibility of the catapult shooting playing a role in actual combat.

So far, the only practical method they have discussed is to launch a large number of projectiles at zero distance (full bullet firing) at one time during the mounted attack, attacking the monster's eyes, ear holes, back of the head and other vital parts.

If the angle and attack position are suitable, the monster can be forced to make certain actions that meet the hunter's expectations, such as staggering forward and involuntarily hitting obstacles.

Just like what Hayata did to the Barbarian Jaw Dragon before.

But just now, Gordon had a very "evil" idea.

For a great swordsman like him, the power of the catapult shooting is irrelevant, but the strong recoil, maybe it can be used?

Recoil is also a kind of impact after all, and there is no essential difference from the monster's attack.

Smaller hunters, such as Feng Ying, may even be knocked over if they are not prepared to resist the impact before firing all bullets.

External impact.

Gordon suddenly stood up, took an orange from the dining table, hung up the catapult, and came to an empty space with no one in the eyes of his companions.

He carried the great sword and entered a posture in one go.

"Hey! What are you going to do?!" Ansel shouted hurriedly, how could he suddenly draw a weapon in a public area?

But Gordon didn't have the mind to think about these things now. He tried to carry the sword with his right hand, stabilized his posture, raised his left hand, and activated the catapult.

"Bang!" The orange hanging on the projectile exploded into pieces, and the juice and pulp splashed all over him.

Not everything can be used as a projectile

Gordon frowned and said "tsk".

The impact of the recoil was not enough, far from the standard of compressing muscles and entering the real charging state.

Is it because the orange is too soft and exploded at the moment of firing, dispersing the impact and causing insufficient recoil? This is part of the reason, but it is not the key. Is the recoil of single-shot shooting still too weak?

Gordon is going to take a few more oranges and try a full-shot firing.

Ansel and Hayata quickly held him and pressed him back to his seat.

"Are you crazy?! It is against the rules to draw a weapon in a public area!" Ansel shouted in a low voice: "Fortunately, there is no sheriff nearby and no one saw it, otherwise he would be put in solitary confinement!"

Gordon, who woke up from his thoughts, was a little embarrassed, but more excited.

"Yes! I have some ideas! Do you think it is possible to increase the recoil of the catapult by increasing the charge?"

"Of course, but what do you want?" Gale was full of questions.

For shooters, recoil has always been the biggest enemy that affects shooting accuracy.

Who specifically pursues recoil! ?

Hayata, who is also a swordsman, responded, "You just put on a one-shot stance. Do you want to use that impact to assist in completing the real charge in advance?"

"That's right!" Gordon slammed the table hard, "The threshold for a one-shot stance is very high. Only a very small number of great swordsmen with strong physical fitness who can withstand the monster's attack are qualified to practice.

And the judgment of timing is very important. If you are not careful, you will die.

But if the recoil of the catapult can be used to replace the impact of the monster's attack, this trick may be popularized!"

The companions looked at each other.

Everyone is an experienced veteran. Even if they are not great swordsmen, they can see how much this trick will improve the great swordsmen if it is really developed successfully.

"It's very simple to improve the recoil in a targeted way. You just need to strengthen some components of the projectile to avoid the danger of explosion while increasing the charge." Anshil said with a smile.

Feng Ying also gave a serious suggestion, "It's essentially to use the impact to compress the muscles. In this way, it's not necessary to do that action in one go.

This move can even become more flexible. Anyway, it's necessary to accumulate power, and it doesn't interrupt the rhythm when it's inserted into the attack action."

Hayata even lowered his head to think whether this recoil could be used on the sword.

Unfortunately, the conclusion seems unlikely. The most important thing about the sword is the use of "qi", and recoil is obviously not helpful for practicing qi.

"I'll go to the processing house to modify the projectile!" Gordon stood up "swoosh", and didn't care that the juice on his body was not wiped clean, and ran towards the processing house.

Gale looked at the projectile on his arm armor and muttered, "What will this thing become in the end?"

After more than a month of continuous experiments and improvements.

The enhanced version of the hunter-specific slinger with added flight claws and enhanced shooting power was finally finalized.

After receiving the news, the hunters who couldn't wait any longer rushed to the processing room and asked for modification.

The craftsmen in the processing house had to temporarily put down other tasks in their hands and spent several days to complete the upgrade of the projector for the hunters at the Star Stronghold.

In the training ground, the wooden barrel racks that had been neglected were now crawling with hunters like face reptiles.

Most hunters are very interested in mounted attacks. Although this method may not be suitable for every hunter, if you don't try it, how will you know whether it is suitable for you?

Hayata is always surrounded by people asking her for tips on mounted attacks.

Gordon gathered the swordsmen together and came to the solid wooden target.

Sure enough, just like him, after trying it themselves, few of these guys liked using flying claws for riding.

bells and whistles

Jean, who somehow managed to sneak into the Great Swordsman team, had one sentence that was widely recognized by everyone, - Face crawling? Can you accumulate energy by climbing on your face? If not, why would I bother you?

Ancil once commented, "The heads of great swordsmen, regardless of gender, are full of muscles."

Hayata believes that this statement is a bit stereotyped, but if it is changed to "the brain has grown into the shape of muscles", it would be very accurate.

Gordon crossed his arms, bared his teeth, and said to the swordsmen: "Everyone has noticed, our projectile is a little different from other hunters'."

"Huh?"

"Really? I didn't notice it!"

"We didn't even notice it!"

"What's the difference?"

Gordon: "."

After a few seconds of silence, he decided not to beat around the bush with these guys.

After glaring at them, Gordon cursed, "I'd better keep your eyes peeled!"

He turned around and drew his sword towards the target, which was the most common vertical slash. This sword had no other function, just to tell the swordsmen that this move could be used interspersed in the attack.

Then he suddenly raised his left arm and pulled the trigger.

A large cloud of sparks and gunpowder smoke is ejected from the specially strengthened projector, and the huge recoil can almost knock someone over.

With the help of this impact, Gordon's muscles all over his body tensed up, and he directly assumed a true charging posture. In a very short period of time, the preparations for the true charging attack were completed.

The astonishingly powerful real charge slashed into the widened eyes of all the swordsmen, slashing down, smashing the target into pieces, sending wood fragments flying in all directions.

After a brief moment or two of silence, the swordsmen almost jumped to their feet.

"**!**!**!"

"True Charged Slash! Directly True Charged Slash!"

"This is it! I want to learn this!"

"Me too!"

Ps.

Back then, when Icefield was just opened, I was really shocked when I saw the video showing the real charge after enhanced shooting.
