Chapter 488 Application Scope of Firearms

In fact, Liu Xiu could understand that in the interstellar age, individuals still used individual gunpowder weapons. After all, sometimes the more complex the structure of a weapons store was, the less reliable it would be.

On the contrary, gunpowder weapons, which have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, are more reliable.

Of course, the main reason for using gunpowder weapons is that they are easier to manufacture than energy weapons, such as laser weapons or electromagnetic weapons.

After all, gunpowder weapons can be made by hand using simple materials as long as you have seen or understood their mechanical principles.

For example, in the world where Liu Xiu lived before he traveled through time, although guns were banned in the country, one could still occasionally see someone rubbing steel pipes with their hands at home to make steel pipe firearms.

Of course, the most powerful hand-rubbed firearm is naturally the Japanese's No. 1 male gun.

Just two steel pipes were used to make a double-barreled shotgun to send someone away.

This incident naturally caused quite a stir.

In fact, in addition to being reliable and simple, gunpowder weapons are more practical on the surface of a planet, especially within the atmosphere.

You must know that whether it is laser weapons or electromagnetic kinetic weapons, this is a problem that cannot be avoided within the atmosphere.

That is the air obstruction in the atmosphere. For example, laser weapons will be greatly attenuated in the atmosphere as long as the distance is a little far.

Or if there is a little more dust in the air, the laser weapon will be useless.

In addition, the same is true for electromagnetic weapons, although electromagnetic weapons can accelerate electromagnetic projectiles to the speed of light as long as the energy is sufficient.

However, within the atmosphere, let alone accelerating to the speed of light, even accelerating to more than three times the speed of sound will face thermal barriers, and as the speed increases, the heat generated by the friction between the electromagnetic projectile and the air will be greater.

Therefore, if we develop an electromagnetic gun whose projectile speed is dozens or hundreds of times the speed of sound, the electromagnetic projectile will basically disappear before it flies many meters due to friction with the air.

Just like those small meteors, they were completely worn away by the atmosphere before they hit the ground.

Therefore, the combination of many factors has led to the fact that even though the Cosmic Alliance has entered the interstellar age, individual personal defense weapons are still mainly gunpowder weapons.

After all, most individual combat takes place on planets with atmospheres, so gunpowder weapons are still very useful in combat on the surface of planets.

As for individual combat armor like Liu Xiu's, the Cosmic Alliance did not spend any effort on developing it. After all, many things are easy to make bigger, but difficult to make smaller.

For example, reducing the energy problem is a very difficult issue and is not so easy to solve.

What's more, the criminals who are chasing the heroine Millie are just the lowest-level criminals under the interstellar pirates, so it is naturally impossible for them to get the good stuff.

It would be very good to be able to get gunpowder weapons and pursuit vehicles.

And these vehicles and the gunpowder weapons in their hands are obviously not high-end items.

Because the rifle in the criminal's hand couldn't even penetrate the shell of the car driven by Millie.

The Desert Eagle-like pistol in Millie's hand can easily penetrate the shell of the vehicles driven by criminals and easily destroy these vehicles. This shows that the Desert Eagle pistol in Millie's hand is definitely not a cheap thing.

However, although Millie's shooting skills are very powerful, a large number of ants can still kill an elephant!
There were a lot of criminals who came to hunt down witnesses, so even though Millie had shot and destroyed several cars in succession, the number of cars chasing them did not decrease much.

And because the large-caliber pistol in Millie's hand is similar to the Desert Eagle, although its power is as great as that of the Desert Eagle, its shortcomings are also the same as those of the Desert Eagle.

That’s right. Although a large-caliber Desert Eagle pistol like the .50 caliber Desert Eagle is very powerful, its power and caliber naturally mean that the bullet is also very large.

The human palm is only about the same size, so the magazine of a pistol naturally cannot be made too big.

This naturally limits the number of bullets that can be loaded into the magazine of this large-caliber pistol. A single row of large-caliber pistol bullets can only hold seven or eight rounds, and no more than ten at most.

It is incomparable to the ammunition capacity of the 9mm small-caliber pistol magazine. For example, the magazine of the Glock pistol using 9mm pistol bullets basically starts with 17 rounds, and the extended version can even reach 20 to 30 rounds.

Of course, the criminals who were chasing after her were not the type to just take a beating without fighting back. Seeing that ordinary firearms could not deal with the vehicle driven by Millie, they immediately took out their killer moves.

That’s right, the killer weapon of this group of criminals is the individual rocket launcher that is said to be able to deal with tanks.

With a single-person rocket launcher fired, the rear of the vehicle driven by Millie was immediately blown up, and the rear wheels were also deformed. The speed of the car driven by Millie immediately decreased.

At this moment, Kane arrived on a motorcycle, and looking at the rear end of the car emitting black smoke, Kane rode the bike with one hand.

Then he drew out the lightsaber from his waist with his other hand. As the plasma blade of the lightsaber extended, Kane swung it down without hesitation, directly cutting off the back half of the vehicle driven by Millie.

Fortunately, Millie and the witness were sitting in the driver's seat and the passenger seat, so there was nothing to worry about.

Of course, the most critical thing is the car driven by Millie. It is a front-wheel drive vehicle. The drive system and engine are in the front half of the car, so even if the rear half of the car is cut off, it is harmless and can continue to drive.

Of course, although the car would not stall and lose power immediately, it would not be able to run for long without the back half. So after Kane cut off the back half of Millie's car, he immediately took Millie into an abandoned warehouse on the side of the road.

They were prepared to use the warehouse's terrain to fight this group of criminals. After all, if they were in an open area, the criminals who outnumbered them would tend to surround Millie and Kane.

This situation is naturally not conducive to defeating a larger force with a smaller one, but it is different in street fighting in complex areas, where individual combat power becomes the key to victory.

In this complex terrain, Kane let these guys see what it means that a gun is fast at seven steps away, and a sword is even faster within seven steps.

Kane used the plasma lightsaber, which could cut steel like cutting vegetables, to cut the steel beams of the factory into pieces, and successfully killed a large number of criminals who were chasing him.

Of course Millie was caught in the end. After all, there were too many people, and Millie's one gun could not deal with dozens of guns at the same time.

But at this moment, the little witness girl that Millie had always kept with her suddenly turned into Kenar.

It turns out that the witness Millie brought was actually a fake all along. It was Kenar who pretended to be her after her transformation. After all, for Kenar, she herself was a kind of physical light projection technology, so changing her shape was not a big deal at all.

After Liu Xiu saw that Kane and his team had completed the mission on the enemy and friend map, he naturally did not stay any longer and returned to Wandering Blue Star.
