Chapter 510 Three Zero Tunnel Gun
The [-]-type tunnel-fired gun, although the name is called a tunnel-fired gun, but strictly speaking, this gun should be called a cap gun or a fire door gun. It is a front-loading smoothbore gun that is fired with a hammer and a cap.

Theoretically speaking, this kind of gun can be made into a breech-loading type-the [-] caps currently used by the main forces of the crossing army are a type of rear-loading quick-fire cap gun.

The reason why it was changed to a front-loading smoothbore type is simple: this kind of gun is to be exported.

When Cao Zongbing was in the capital before, in order to fool the emperor, he once boasted about the fire hat, and promised the emperor to sell arms.

So now, taking this opportunity, a smoothbore gun has been designed for use in overseas second-tier troops and also for export.

Since it is going to be exported, the premise of front-mounted smoothbore is certain.The crossing people must completely separate the generation gap between the export guns and the main force, so that one can count as ten in the future, so the breech is a must.

In addition, the firing device of this gun was changed from flint to flash cap.Not only did this increase the rate of fire, but because of the existence of the flash cap, it was equivalent to adding another layer of insurance - whoever dared to fight against Marshal Cao would not be able to buy a flash cap in the future.

In this way, after determining the design idea, the [-]-type tunnel-fired gun was successfully released, following the history of the flash cap gun.

The 145-type tunnel gun has a total length of 102 centimeters, of which the barrel length is 1.8 centimeters, the caliber is about 4.5 centimeters, and the weight of the whole gun reaches 9 kilograms, which is [-] kilograms.

Thanks to Chuanzhong's superb machining capabilities, the 100-type rifle is not only exquisite in structure, but also has a small gap between the fixed bullet and the barrel, and the energy waste rate is very low.At a distance of [-] meters, the [-]-style can completely knock down the armored Manchu knights.

Compared with the brown bass, the pinnacle of front-loading smoothbore guns in history, the Type 1 is not only short and powerful, but also has a much higher rate of fire. Skilled gunners can fully achieve a shooting speed of 5 to 6 rounds per minute.

In addition, the 30-type can guarantee accurate shooting within the range of 50 meters to 100 meters, but if you want to hit the opponent at a distance of 200 meters to [-] meters, you can only play in line and shoot.

This range is deliberately adjusted by the time travelers.

With the current processing capabilities of the Crossover, in fact, as long as the barrel is slightly lengthened, the shooting accuracy of the Type 50 will be greatly increased.However, considering the suppression of generational differences, the final finished gun is still controlled within the accuracy range of [-] meters.

Still the same sentence: can not pose a threat to the main force.

Of course, as far as this range and power are concerned, the Type [-] is no problem whether it hits natives or Tartars.The British hit half of the world with the brown bass, and there is no reason why the Type [-], which has a faster rate of fire, cannot do it.

Unless the user is a battered army with no fighting spirit.

The premise of sweeping the earth stick is that the troops have sufficient military pay and training. This is exactly what the Ming Dynasty lacks.So no matter what weapon is given to Daming, the end result is probably the same. What the people who travel through are afraid of is actually Daming who became the captain of the transportation team, so the fire hat is still very important.

In the big playground of Huangpu Military Port, there was a din of people, all kinds of roars and the sound of gold and iron clashing non-stop-people from the Pioneering Army were being selected and tested.

The playground was roughly divided into two parts, one half for testing hot weapons and the other half for testing cold weapons.

People in the brigade are queuing up to shoot.

Many indigenous Ming people who joined the Pioneering Army actually had the experience of playing bird guns or matchlock guns before, so they were no strangers to muskets.

Under the guidance of the regular army sergeant, the indigenous shooter first bit off the tail of the fixed bullet casing made of oil paper, poured all the gunpowder inside into the barrel, and then used a cleaning rod to stab the lead bullet into the barrel.

After this step, raise the gun, pull the beak hook of the trigger, insert the copper flash cap into the special concave circular groove, and all the shooting preparations are completed.

Compared with the matchlock guns and bird guns that appeared in history, and even the darling tunnel-fired guns in the next 200 years, the advanced fixed ammunition and flash cap ignition method of the [-]-style rifle have completely surpassed their predecessors and can be called extremely advanced.

The next moment, the shooter fired at a target 30 meters away.The fire cap hit by the bird's beak ignited smoothly, and then the flame ignited the black powder in the barrel along the fire transmission hole, and the bullet was pushed out of the barrel by the expanding gas.

At this time, the gap came out: most of the indigenous people did not know the purpose of the front sight and rear sight on the barrel of the gun. Shooting a gun depends on the feeling. Whether the bullet can hit the target is purely a talent for playing.

Everyone who came to test had a chance to fire 5 shots.During this period, as long as one can hit the target with one bullet with a smoothbore gun in his hand, he is considered a qualified player and can stay to continue his "advanced studies".

As for the people who were eliminated in the shooting test, they had no choice but to manipulate cold weapons.

Compared with the regular army, the organizational structure of the pioneering army is more free and simple. Currently, there are only three organizational levels: battalion, company, and squad.

Mr. Wu and his group were assigned to the seventh class in a row when they were divided into classes before, and Mr. Wu was naturally the monitor of the class.

The total number of seven classes is currently eight people.Since the supervisors talked about firearms with guard soldiers when they were in Taipei, half of the people in the seventh squad passed the shooting test, including Wu Sanye and Yusheng Young Master.

After getting the qualification, Mr. Wu hurried back to the training ground and found a few younger brothers who were juggling with knives and guns.

The field of cold weapons is much more lively.From time to time, strongmen from the three mountains and five mountains performed a set of ancestral skills in public with various unpopular weapons, which aroused applause from the melon-eating crowd.

There are also real-life fighters who hold wooden knives and swords and wear armor to compete with each other.

The crowd watching the live-action fights was not very lively, and the atmosphere was even a little depressing.In fact, most of the people gathered here are people with life and death fighting experience.On the real battlefield, life and death are instantaneous, and there is no time and space to brush flower guns, so most of these people are silent, watching the two fighting each other to decide the winner with a few simple strokes, their faces are very dignified.

In fact, the ones who end up here are really ambitious people: the Pioneering Army supports small groups, and masters can use this method to attract some people who can talk to them and form their own small teams.

Wu Sanye found several younger brothers of his here.

Then after watching the masters fight for a while, Mr. Wu nodded and took his younger brother to the biggest arena.

In the middle of the largest arena, it was surrounded by people.

Wei Yuan, who is 1 meters tall, wearing an army green two-finger vest, breeches and combat boots, exposing his huge upper arms and chest muscles, is posing a standard modern fighting posture at the moment, facing three opponents who are against him. Said to be an extremely short Mingren knight, constantly changing his footsteps, ready to attack at any time.
