Super Chief

Chapter 308: Grenadier

As an indigenous chief, Junnaruska is already a very good chief, but for what "bitter sour gunpowder", what "no/smoke/gunpowder", what "48 mm caliber", what "times" Professional terms such as "path" can still be heard in the cloud.

  Although I don’t understand, Chief Junnaruska still listens with gusto. For him, this was a good opportunity to broaden his horizons, and it also allowed him to gradually change from an ignorant indigenous chief to another form of chief.

   But Shixiong’s surprise is real.

   Brother Li and Agusta are really good guys. Not only did they come up with non-smoke/gunpowder and bitter sour, they also got out the thunder/acid/mercury stuff.

   It can be said that the biggest obstacle to making explosive bombs or even all-metal bullets with fixed gunpowder has been completely cleared.

   The main reason why the shells used in various countries are still solid shells is because they detonated. Before thunder/acid/mercury was developed, let alone the military of European countries, even the stone bear could not make a bomb.

Although Shixiong has made a grenade and still has a conscientious cannon, they are all exploded with a fuse index. Not to mention the safety, there is a certain probability of failure to detonate, which is far inferior to the safety of flash hiders. And the detonation method with high success rate.

   It can be said unceremoniously that once there is thunder/acid/mercury, a flash hider can be made, then no matter whether it is a shell or a bullet, it will be fine.

Compared with the preparation of thunder/acid/mercury, it is much easier to make either bitter acid or smokeless powder. So brother Li and Agusta quickly figured out these two according to the preparation method provided by Shixiong. The ratio of gunpowder.

   No/smoke/gunpowder can be used directly after it is prepared, but if the bitterness is to be turned into a violent drug, some heavy metal powder needs to be added.

Picric acid is a strong acid substance. If this thing does not come into contact with metal, there is no danger. This thing was originally developed in historical time and space to be used as a coloring agent, and it was not used in the military until a hundred years later. The above shows the safety of this thing.

   But once this thing comes into contact with metal, it will immediately corrode the metal and form highly sensitive picrates. The reason why picrates are so powerful is because of the existence of these picrates.

   In fact, Brother Li and Agustalow had been able to get rid of the bitterness within a few days after Stone Bear left the tribe. Just wanting to make this yellow powder explode violently, they experimented for more than ten days.

Several of these experiments almost happened. If it weren’t for Shixiong’s previous warnings that the power of this bitter sour gunpowder was extremely fierce and extremely sensitive, they had been psychologically prepared for the experiment. At that time, I always controlled the amount of bitterness and paid great attention to safety, so that nothing happened.

   If someone who doesn’t understand directly intervenes in the experiment, it’s probably not enough. It is estimated that there will be no bones left behind.

   It's like how many lives did Xiaohua Tartar appear in the original historical time and space? Well, this is not to kill the enemy, but to kill himself.

   Although the bitterness is not as sensitive as Xiaohua Tartar Oil, it is not much worse. If you don't pay attention, it will really end up with no bones.

After dozens of explosions under control, the lid and Agusta’s brothers finally figured out the specific formula of the bitter sour medicine. Today they used the bitter sour medicine they just made. A 48mm caliber "Mortar" was loaded for a test fire, and the results shocked Chief Junnaruska and the others.

   That's right, the "Mortar" cast by David Adion based on Stone Bear's instructions has also been successfully produced.

   is actually a mortar, and it is more appropriate to call it a bullet. Because the ultra-light mortar developed by David Adion is Adion pointed by Shixiong based on the data of his own 8/9 style grenadier.

The research and development of real mortar shells is still in progress. Compared with shells fired by grenadiers, mortar shells are much more complicated. They not only have tails and primers, but also warheads and percussion fuzes, so that thing But it can't be done in a short while.

In contrast, the primer of this simple grenadier developed by Aidean is separated from the shell. The propellant is installed at the bottom of the grenadier barrel, and does not require a flash cap to be activated. The fuse is used. It's okay.

   The bullet grenades in the original historical time and space are also ammunition separated, that is, the shells and the propellant are loaded separately. Load the propellant first, and then put it into the shell, adjust the firing angle when firing, and then pull the belt on the firing machine to fire the bottom to fire the explosive to shoot the shell.

   This kind of grenadier created by Aidean is simpler than Japan's own grenades, because the friction flash hider has not been produced yet, so Ishikuma simply continued to use the fuse as a fuze.

   Anyway, this thing is used to deal with North American Indians, and the requirement for the rate of fire is far less than that of later generations, and the killing efficiency is as high as the ignition index.

   As for the cannonball of the tossing barrel, that is, the grenade, Edian uses a cast shell with four tail fins on the tail, and the front opening of the UU Reading www.uukanshu.com warhead is used to fill the bitter and hard-working drugs. When the bitter sour **** is filled, plug the opening with a plug with percussive flash hider fuze. This is done with a simple bullet grenade.

   The loud noise just now was the first live ammunition experiment conducted by this simple grenadier.

   Although there was no explosion point, judging from the shooting distance and the loud noise, this experiment was obviously very successful.

The barrel length of this type of grenadier cast by Aidean is about ten centimeters longer than the barrel length of the 8/9 type grenadier barrel in the original historical time and space, making the barrel that was originally only two hundred and sixty millimeters long. The length has increased to nearly four hundred millimeters. The reason for this is to increase the range.

   In the past, the soldiers seized Japan’s own grenadier barrel to imitate it, but because the barrel could not be rifled, the smooth bore structure was adopted. In order not to affect the firing range, the barrel was lengthened to 400 millimeters.

  Takashu tribe can now rifle the barrel, but it can't do anything about the rifling of the barrel of this kind of grenadier, so Shixiong will use this method of increasing the length of the barrel to increase the range.

   As for how far this grenadier can throw a cannonball, none of the people present had any idea. But based on the sound of the explosion just now, the distance the grenade was thrown out was at least 400 steps (280 meters), or even farther.

   Everyone decided to take a look at the explosion point. Only by seeing the effect of the explosion with their own eyes can they determine the specific power of this thing.
