"Your Highness, this musket is completely fine."
Soon, a craftsman checked the musket, and everything was normal.
"it is good!"
Hearing this, Li Ke immediately nodded in satisfaction.
This undoubtedly shows that the musket is a complete success!
"Look where it went."
Li Ke picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance.
After all, it was fixed on the ground, so the accuracy must have been much worse, and it didn't hit any target at all.
"Use people to operate."
Now that the quality of the musket is determined to be good, it is natural to practice actual combat.
As for how to hold the gun and what posture to maintain, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion have already trained it countless times.
Yes, Li Ke had used the content in the "Military Military Training Manual" before and asked Su Dingfang to train the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.
I didn't have a musket before, so I used wood as a simulated object to train the standard posture and various shooting postures.
So now that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion get the real muskets, they don't need to worry about other aspects except for the specific operation.
"Aim the target with this reticle and pull the trigger."
"There will be recoil and noise. You need to overcome this by yourself."
Li Ke briefly explained to the soldiers of Shenji Battalion.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion nodded expectantly.
The reason why the Shenji Battalion is called the Shenji is because their weapons are different from other troops.
The artillery was magical enough before, and now there is another musket, so they naturally look forward to the power of the musket.
Immediately, a soldier of the Shenji Battalion knelt on the ground with one knee in a very standard posture, and then began to aim at a distant target.
Once you're done aiming, pull the trigger with your finger!
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the soldier felt a push from his shoulder.
Fortunately, I usually train hard and have strong physical fitness, so the impact is not big.
After the soldiers finished hitting the target, Li Ke immediately raised his binoculars and looked at the target in the distance.
"Hit the 2-meter target!"
Li Ke clearly saw a hole in the target 2 meters away from the telescope.
"continue!"
Li Ke gave orders to the soldier.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
After the soldier shot once, he felt a little more relaxed.
Pull the trigger, put the paper shell bullet in, and then push the trigger to jam the bullet.
Pull the trigger and the shot is done.
Although it is only the second time to do this set of operations, I have become proficient.
A whole set of operations only takes about 5 seconds.
After training for a while, this speed can be even faster.
"boom!"
"Hit the 3-meter target!"
"boom!"
"Hit the 4-meter target!"
"boom!"
"Hit the 5-meter target!"
Next, every time the soldiers fired, someone would report to the target by the side.
Li Ke also saw in the telescope that the soldier had hit the targets one by one, and couldn't help being a little surprised.
Good guy, just find someone who tries a gun, and it turns out to be a sharpshooter?
The first time you use a musket, can you be so accurate?
And this is just the first musket, the front sight and so on still need to be debugged.
If it is debugged to perfection, wouldn't the accuracy be improved again?
Then maybe you can really take the head of the enemy general on the battlefield among thousands of troops.
Not only he was surprised, but all craftsmen and soldiers were surprised, or shocked!
Just such a musket can shoot accurately from hundreds of meters away?
You must know that the bullet is made of metal, and if it is fired at such a fast speed, if it hits a person, the flesh and blood of the human body will absolutely not be able to stop the bullet at such a fast speed.
That is to say, in the future, on the battlefield, as long as you can see the opponent hundreds of meters away, you can kill the opponent hundreds of meters away with one shot?
That is several times stronger than the most powerful archer in the army!
After all, no matter how far a bow and arrow can shoot, can it still be as far as a musket?
And if this terrifying weapon is equipped in the Shenji Battalion, wouldn't it be invincible on the battlefield?
There are still several thousand meters between the two armies, and the first round of artillery bombardment is used.
When the opponent's wounded and disabled are about to reach a distance of several hundred meters, then use the musket to give another round.
Then the opponent has not charged to the front, they are all dead, how can we fight this battle?
It can be said that as long as artillery and muskets are equipped on a large scale, the Shenji Battalion will be the most powerful army in Datang!
At that time, when fighting a war, you really don’t need to be blind, as long as you have hands.
Seeing the shocked and excited expressions on everyone's faces, Li Ke couldn't help but smile.
The official birth of the musket made the force under him truly have the strength to surpass any army in this world!
And with the addition of muskets, the combat power of the Shenji Battalion will be raised to an extremely terrifying level.
When he thought of the Goguryeo War and the Japanese War, he couldn't help but have strong expectations in his heart.
Didn't he almost have military exploits?
When it's time for the Goguryeo War, he will let everyone know what immortality is!
Let everyone see what dimensionality reduction strike is!
PS: Fourth more! .
Chapter 262 The steam engine enters the textile industry!Production exploded!
The gun-testing process continues.
After all, it is necessary to test how many meters the effective range of this musket is, how many meters the maximum range is, and so on.
The so-called effective range is how many meters away the bullets of this musket can still cause damage after being fired.
Generally, it is enough to test the effective range of a musket, because only within the effective range can it be lethal to people or things~.
After exceeding the effective range, although the bullet can continue to fly, it has no speed and power.
Even if it hits someone at that time, it probably won't cause any effective damage.
Since this soldier's marksmanship is so accurate, let him continue to test.
Someone in the back pulled several live pigs from the farm, and then placed one every 100 meters and tied them with ropes to prevent them from running around.
The soldier's movements became more and more numerous. He only heard a burst of gunshots from the shooting range, and then Li Ke saw the scene in the distance through the binoculars.
Live pigs within a few hundred meters are naturally no problem, and the bullets hit the live pig's body with precision.
Li Ke saw that the live pigs had already fallen to the ground, and it was obvious that they were belching.
From 6 meters to 8 meters, Li Ke rode a horse to the place where the live pigs were, and watched the live pigs' injuries up close.
The 6-meter live pig was seriously injured and was dying.
The 8-meter live pig was injured, but it looked like a minor injury, not a serious problem.
But after all, live pigs have more meat and fat, and their resistance to bullets exceeds that of the human body.
Therefore, the effective distance of this musket should be about 8 meters.
Li Ke was very satisfied with this distance, and it was within his expectations.
According to records, the effective range of the Dreiser needle gun is 6 meters.
And it uses black powder, which is not as powerful as smokeless gunpowder.
Li Ke uses smokeless gunpowder, and it is normal for the effective range to be more than 2 meters.
And this range can continue to increase, just increase the amount of smokeless powder in the paper shell bullet.
However, after the weight is increased, the destructive power to the barrel, bolt and firing pin will be greater, and the service life will be reduced.
In his opinion, the range of 8 meters is far enough, and there is no need to waste the service life of these parts for a longer distance.
Besides, if the range is longer, the rifling in the seamless steel tube may not be enough.
Even if the range is far, the accuracy will be much worse, which is not very meaningful.
The big deal is that in the future, some special muskets will be specially prepared for people with accurate marksmanship, and they will be equipped with magnifying mirrors and the like.
It can be specially used for assassination and other actions, or to snipe and kill the opponent's generals and important figures on the battlefield.
If the troops are equipped on a large scale, this is enough now, just right.
"Next, firearms will be manufactured according to this standard, and then distributed to the Shenji Battalion for training. Each person will have ten rounds of ammunition per day."
"Every musket produced must be numbered, registered every time you receive it, and pay attention to every training. After the training, the muskets must be placed collectively and guarded by special personnel!"
"Once it is discovered that the number of muskets produced does not match the serial number, or the muskets are not properly controlled after training, I will never let you down!"
Li Ke explained to the people in the Musket Workshop and the Shenji Camp in an extremely serious tone.
The musket is a very dangerous weapon. Of course it is a magic weapon against the enemy, but if it is not controlled well, it will cause a lot of trouble.
Therefore, Li Ke still has relatively strict requirements on the control of this aspect.
In order to prevent the muskets from the musket workshop being taken away privately, or muskets being abused in the Shenji camp, etc.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Hearing Li Ke's serious tone, the masters and craftsmen of the Musket Workshop, as well as the soldiers of the Shenji Camp, immediately nodded solemnly.
"During the subsequent gun testing process, if there are any shortcomings or inconvenient aspects of the musket, you can directly ask the workshop master to bring it up, and then make improvements."
"Only the craftsmen and soldiers research together to make this weapon perfect and easy to use!"
"The soldier who tested the gun just now, the king saw that he was quite talented, and appointed him as a shooting instructor, responsible for teaching the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion how to practice guns!"
Li Ke then explained a few more words, including some very crucial things.
For example, craftsmen and soldiers discuss the shortcomings and advantages of muskets, and then improve the muskets.
After all, although muskets are made by craftsmen, the users are soldiers, and only soldiers know whether muskets are good or not.
And he felt that the soldier who tested the gun just now was a talent, an absolute sharpshooter talent, so he thought of giving him a chance to serve as the head coach of shooting.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The head of the workshop and the general of the Shenji Battalion nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
