Chapter 178 Recruit Camp 2
After the officials from the Engineering Department finished their introduction, the officials from the Logistics Department began to speak:

"In addition to this flintlock gun, our Logistics Department will issue ammunition chain belts, fixed powder paper bags, projectiles and spurs to all soldiers in the future. You have already seen the first three things. I will now tell you Introducing the short lance thrust.”

After speaking, the official took out a one-foot-long short spear from the wooden box at his feet.

With the introduction by the officials, the recruits understood that this flintlock gun and spear spear would be their main combat weapons in the future.

The spur can be installed at the muzzle of the flintlock gun and combined into a five-foot-long "iron gun". It can be removed and used alone. There is a handle at the end of the spur for gripping.

"This is probably why recruits have only been trained to assassinate enemies with guns." Sun Xin said.

"Indeed, it seems that the Xinghan League should have mastered this weapon a long time ago, so they have this forward-looking training method." Sun Li said.

After the official introduced the spear and stabbing, he continued:
"Currently, due to production capacity issues, there are not enough flintlock guns to equip the entire army, and the new guns produced will be given priority to equip the formal troops. For the new barracks, a hundred will be provided for your training."

After the official introduction, Liu Lizhen stepped forward: "Each person will be given a wooden "flintlock" first, and the gunpowder will be replaced by sand. Starting from today, practice loading and shooting for two hours every day until you can shoot within five breaths." Those who complete the entire process of charging, loading, shooting, clearing the chamber, etc., and meet the standards first will be allowed to practice with real guns."

"Each instructor brought the team back to prepare for new training content."

……

"drop!"

There was a crisp copper whistle.

"preparation!"

Sun Li took off the wooden "flintlock" that was on his shoulder. The barrel of this wooden "flintlock" was a thin bamboo stick with open bamboo joints. The other parts were also made of wood and were very well made. It is rough, and it is obvious that it was done in a hurry, and it is also a "masterpiece" of a novice.

But no matter how crude it is, this kind of training gun can already familiarize recruits with the operating procedures of the flintlock gun.

"drop!"

There was another crisp copper whistle.

"Reload!"

Sun Li began to load the gun barrel made of thin bamboo tubes step by step, and took out a bamboo tube from his pocket. The bamboo knot in the middle of the bamboo tube was not opened, and there were wooden plugs on both sides.

Bite out the cork at one end with your teeth, pour the fine sand in the bamboo tube into the barrel, then put in the conical projectile, and press it a few times with the pipe. This fine sand "gunpowder" cannot be pressed at all, so use the pipe. Bar pressing is just proficiency in the process.

Then he bit off the cork at the other end of the small bamboo barrel, and found some fine sand in a small groove "medicine chamber" at the end of the bamboo barrel.

After all the procedures were completed, he looked around and saw that Sun Xin, who was standing on his right, had also completed the process. Others were still loading projectiles, but those instructors who had received fairy magic had also completed it.The instructors of this team also looked at Sun Li and nodded at him, Sun Li hurriedly nodded in return.

"drop!"

"shooting!"

Sun Li raised his gun and pretended to shoot.

"Bang!", a recruit next to him also added sound effects with his mouth.

"Silly." Sun Xin muttered softly.

Unexpectedly, the instructor praised it: "You can demonstrate the sound of shooting with your mouth, so that you can become familiar with it faster."

"You are the only smart one." Sun Li scolded Sun Xin.

"drop!"

"Clear the chest!"

……

After two hours of boring training in the afternoon, most of the recruits were able to operate the entire process by themselves.

"Anyone who thinks he can control the entire operation process within five breaths can come forward."

Before dismissal, the instructor in front asked.

"Brother, let's go try it." Sun Xin was a little eager to give it a try. "Okay!" Sun Li also wanted to try a real flintlock gun.

Both of them have obtained military commander cards and have superior physical fitness. In addition, they are both mentally and physically excellent people. Therefore, after an afternoon of practice, they have become very familiar with the process. They use wooden guns and fine sand and gunpowder to operate. Able to control time within two breaths.

"report!"

"Say!"

"We want to try."

The instructor saw it was Sun Xin and Sun Li and knew that these two people were special.

"Come forward."

Before and after the two men arrived, the instructor of the brigade applied for two flintlock rifles and corresponding ammunition from the chief instructor.

"Do you need me to demonstrate it to you again?"

The instructor asked again before handing the two guns to the Sun brothers.

"Report! No need!"

"Okay. There is one requirement. The gun should never be pointed at your own people, otherwise you will be slapped. Do you understand?"

"clear."

After the two confirmed, they took over the flintlock gun.

Sun Xin couldn't help but stroke the barrel of the gun carefully, and even stretched the barrel in front of his eyes and looked inside:
"Brother, there are actually lines inside this tube. Is this also a magical technique?"

After hearing this, the instructor explained: "This is rifling. There are three spiral riflings in the barrel. After the propellant explodes, it will expand the edge of the pit at the end of the warhead and stick to the wall of the barrel. The rifling will cause the warhead to rotate. The rotating After the bullet exits the barrel, it will shoot farther, have a straighter trajectory, and be more destructive."

"I see!"

The recruits below could no longer maintain their formation and gathered around to watch. The instructor did not stop him when he saw it, which was also an encouragement.

The two came to the shooting range next to the school grounds. The fence here had been reinforced some time ago, with a thickness of more than one meter and a height of more than two feet. Although they were made of adobe bricks, they could already block bullets and prevent bullets from hitting the outside of the fence.

A row of straw figures stood in front of the wall.

"As soon as you hear me shouting stop, you two must stop all actions immediately. You must not hesitate or resist orders, otherwise you will be deprived of the right to use flintlock guns in the future." The instructor warned again: "Start now."

The two of them didn't take it seriously, and started to operate directly, clearing the chamber, charging, and reloading... at basically the same speed.

When he finally raised his gun to shoot, Sun Li was slightly faster.

"Stop!!" the instructor shouted.

The two men immediately stopped pulling the trigger and looked at the instructor.

"Sun Xin, don't aim close to your eyes and hold the flintlock gun forward, otherwise the sparks from the ignition chamber may burn your eyes. This has been mentioned before!" the instructor scolded Sun Xin.

"Yes!" Sun Xin noticed that his movements were slower than Sun Li's, and couldn't help but want to gain the upper hand in accuracy, so he brought the gun closer to his eyes for easier aiming. Unexpectedly, he was immediately stopped by the instructor.

The instructor stopped Sun Xin and briefed the onlookers on the precautions in this regard before letting them continue shooting.

The two men, who couldn't wait any longer, immediately raised their guns and fired.

"Bang!", "Bang"

There were two crisp sounds, and of the two straw men thirty steps ahead, one had his head scattered, and the other had a hole in his chest.

Bang, bang, bang...

The surrounding recruits applauded.

When Sun Li and Sun Xin arrived at this meeting, they finally felt that they had integrated into the group.
