Chapter 371: Needle-pierced afterloading rifled gun

   Looking at the figure of the fast horse going away, Shi Xiong shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

   Kuaima is a good brother, even if the stone bear is the soul passed through, he has to admit. Shi Xiong can clearly feel Kuaima's care and concern for the stupid head. This is not pretending, it is from the heart, and Shi Xiong feels it very clearly.

The memory from this body made Shixiong very clear how carefree Kuaima, a happy young man, was before, but now, he is trying to catch up with himself, and he is trying to make himself himself in various ways. Become more powerful.

   Based on this, this is a very, very good brother.

   Kuaima’s worries about bighorn sheep, Shixiong can also understand. If it’s him, he might also have such worries.

   After all, he was not from a tribe before, and he had forged such a big grievance on the battlefield.

   But Shi Xiong believed his own judgment, the bighorn sheep guy really changed.

   As for the bullet-throwing problem that Kuaima was worried about, Shixiong thought it was not a problem. Although the grenadier is so powerful, it can be called the **** of war on the battlefield in this era, but this thing still has limitations of this kind. For example, the range, such as the supply of ammunition.

   It is undeniable that the bullet grenades that are one hundred and fifty years ahead of this era have no solution in this era. But in the same way, this thing is not a real artillery or mortar after all, and its limitations still exist.

   First of all, there is the issue of range. Even if the propellant of the grenadier is replaced with non-flooded gunpowder, the maximum effective range is 700 meters. Although this distance is undoubtedly the dominant distance in this era, Shixiong always feels that it is still not enough. .

  The second issue is the supply of ammunition. The grenades fired grenades that can bloom. In order to stabilize the trajectory, four stabilized tails are installed on the rear of the grenade, which greatly increases the difficulty of casting the shell.

  , coupled with the impact fuze, makes the production of the grenade even more difficult.

  In the five months before the expedition to the Cree tribe, hundreds of workers turned around and produced 14,000 grenades. This number seems to be a lot, but on average there are only 80 grenades per grenadier. At the rate of fire of 20 grenades per minute, these grenades are not enough for a grenadier to fire for four minutes at full capacity. What about...

   So the grenade fired by the grenadier is actually far from enough.

   Even now Jack Williams and David Adion have been working hard to improve the grenade production line, but in a short period of time, if the grenadier unit is to become the real strategic core, it is still choking.

   Therefore, Shixiong is now preparing to develop a new generation of rifles.

   With the successful development of Thunder/Acid/Mercury and Flash Hider, the idea of ​​developing a new generation of acupuncture after-loading rifle can be realized.

   Originally, Ishikuma’s plan was to wait for the Ferguson rifle to be equipped to a certain level, and then begin to develop the famous Minne rifle. After all, it is not so difficult to modify the Miner rifle with the existing Ferguson rifle. And if the transformation is successful, the upgraded Minie rifle of the Ferguson rifle will greatly increase the effective range of the musket.

   The effective range of the Miner rifle in the original historical time and space can exceed 500 meters. This distance is already an extremely terrifying number. If the expeditionary force can have two thousand soldiers with Miner rifles, then Shixiong is confident that with two thousand musketeers, he can single-handedly challenge any European country now!

   The most important thing is that it is not difficult to modify the Miner rifle with a Ferguson rifle. Once it can be modified, the tribe will not waste much.

   This was originally Shi Xiong's plan.

   As the saying goes, plans can never keep up with changes. Shi Xiong is now facing such an embarrassing situation.

   Shixiong did not expect Brother Li to be so ferocious, he would get thunder/acid/mercury and flash hider in a short period of time.

With the flash hider, the biggest difficulty in the introduction of acupuncture reloading rifled guns has been smoothed out, because with the flash hider, bullets with fixed gunpowder can be developed, so the acupuncture reloading rifled gun is nothing. Problem.

The current flintlock rifles, including the latest Ferguson rifles, use the "lead shot + bulk black powder" charging method, even if the propellant of each bullet is now fixed, but when it is loaded, it is fired. The medicine and lead pellets are scattered into the barrel of the gun.

   Although the Ferguson rifle is loaded with rear loading, the firing speed per minute is nearly double that of the front loading gun, but this bulk loading method is still relatively slow.

However, because they are all flintlock guns now, the propellant in the barrel needs external flint to ignite, so the guns of this era must use this method of propellant bulk, otherwise if the propellant is wrapped in the shell, the external The fire simply cannot ignite the propellant, and the bullet cannot be shot out of the barrel.

  Before the flash hider was made out, even if the military of European countries had long thought of loading ammunition, the real loading of gunpowder bullets was useless at all.

   Flash hider appeared, so the fixed ammunition will inevitably appear.

   In the original historical time and space, the flash hat would not be invented until half a century later. Now the European armies do not have flash hiders, and they all use guns before firing. So when Brother Li made the flash hiders, he had been ahead of the most advanced countries in Europe for half a century.

The flash hider appeared, and Shixiong planned to use it on the bullet-grenade grenade at first, and he did use it~lightnovelpub.net~ but the biggest application of the flash hider is still in the fixed ammunition, no matter it is The fixed-load ammunition of the metal shell or the fixed-load ammunition of the paper shell is inseparable from the flash hider.

   Although the bullet-throwing barrel is very good, no one can stop it in this era, but it is not as convenient as a rifle after all. So Shixiong is now considering whether to make fixed-load ammunition and a real needle-punched rear-loading rifled gun.

Shixiong knows very well that once this needle-punched after-loading rifled gun, which uses a paper cartridge case for fixed ammunition, is equipped with the army of the Gaoshu tribe, then the army of the Gaoshu tribe will have the biggest cornerstone for the hegemony of North America, even the United States of America. Can't compete with the high tree tribe army that has a needle-pierced rear-mounted rifled gun.

   can't fight at all. Even if the American army has a Kentucky rifle with an effective range of less than 200 meters, how can it fight with a needle-pierced reloading rifle with an effective range of up to 600 meters? Moreover, the rate of fire of a needle-punched rear-mounted rifled gun is generally about 12 rounds per minute, which is twice as fast as that of a Ferguson rifle!

   The effective range of this rifle is more than three times that of other rifles, and the rate of fire is still so high. The high tree tribe army with this rifle can completely use kite-flying tactics to kill the enemy alive!

   You can't hit me, but I can hit you in any position!

   How to fight such a battle?
