Chapter Ten [You missed the target]
Ding Xiaoyi was right. This Goryeo warship does have gunpowder, and there are a lot of them, with a total of five barrels. Each barrel is about seventy or eighty kilograms, and four hundred kilograms of gunpowder is enough to fit two or three thousand bullets.
The arrival of these five barrels of gunpowder did solve the urgent problem. However, the Ding siblings, especially Ding Xiaoyi (who later learned that it was Ding Xiaoyi's decision) played a fire and almost burned everyone's fire. This reminded Zhao Lie that even if he was just a six-person team, he had to formulate strict discipline. Otherwise, with the character of the siblings and Ma Nanchun's pride, there would be no other troubles in the future. Well, this matter needs to be carefully considered and announced when Ma Nanchun comes back to discuss and pass.
After getting the gunpowder, Zhao Lie did not rush to load the gunpowder, but instead detected the gunpowder components according to the method recorded in the diary.
If it is a professional testing agency, of course, various reagents, glass tubes, etc. Not to mention whether Zhao Lie understands it or not, at least there is no such condition at the moment. However, it is obvious that the black gun gang cannot be so professional. The gunpowder they get is not purely fired, and most of them are fired from firecrackers, and they have their own set of earth methods to detect and purify. The components of the firecrackers (gunpowder) in the Song Dynasty more than 700 years ago were not much different from those in later generations, so the detection methods of the black gun gang were used hundreds of years ago and were also effective.
Zhao Lie tried to make the preparations repeatedly according to the method in the notebook. After several days, he almost exploded his hand and finally prepared a qualified launching medicine. When he carefully took out the first pressed May 4th pistol bullet from the punching hole and watched it carefully between his fingers, he was excited and was not watching at all under the Ding brothers, Shi Yang and Wang Ping'an.
The successful release of this bullet indicates that the bottleneck of the gun has finally been resolved. From this moment on, the gun can be called a gun, and it was previously called "Iron Load".
"Let's go, try the target." Zhao Lie made a few in succession, got a magazine, and turned his head to greet the four people.
"Oh! It's time to shoot a target!" Ding Xiaoyao was so happy that she didn't take it away, but jumped.
As Zhao Lie walked, he pressed the magazine into a imitation black star grip, pulled the sleeve, and then loaded the bullet with a click.
Ding Xiaoyiqi said: "Why don't you use your authentic gun but imitation gun?"
Zhao Lie smiled, why don’t you use a genuine gun? Is that too much? Of course, it’s just for the sake of a problem. If there is a problem with the bullet, the only thing that is damaged is the imitation gun. As for whether it will damage the guns, the gunpowder assembly and refining that has been tested for so long, there is still a certainty.
The shooting range is located in the training ground, and behind the target is a forest, which can not only block the sea breeze, but also reduce the bounce rate. It is a good open-air shooting range.
The target is made of wooden targets. The calcined clams are ground into powder and mixed resin to draw a ring number, which is quite decent.
Zhao Lie drew out his pistol. Although he was an imitation gun, he did not use it casually. Instead, he chose this gun early. He calibrated the star and was familiar with the feel. After a few days, the human and machine had almost finished their work and tried to achieve good results in the first shot.
Zhao Lie used the 92 style when he was in the police academy. His average score was five rounds of bullet chest ring targets of 25 meters and 45 rings and 50 meters and 38 rings, which was an excellent result. He also played the 54 style and was impressed by the strong recoil. His best score was the 25 meters and 32 rings of chest ring targets.
I remember that I was ashamed of the broken result while rubbing my wrists. As a result, the instructor said, "It's good, good!"
He asked in a daze: "This, this is considered excellent...why is qualified?"
The instructor raised three fingers and expressed his serious expression: "Three shots are on the target, and they are qualified."
Zhao Lie: "..."
The effective range of the 54th pistol is about fifty meters. Zhao Lie is really unsure of the 50-meter chest target. He originally wanted to change it to twenty-five meters, but when he said that, he accidentally saw Xiao Yi and Xiaoyao's expectant eyes. Thinking about the war mode of this era, he finally swallowed it back. Believe in himself, it's only fifty meters. Now he is not a student, but an instructor. Not only does he have to go to the target, but he also has to achieve good results. Three pairs of eyes are staring at him.
Zhao Lie took a deep breath, held his breath, held his gun in one hand and held up his elbows, bent his elbows slightly, aiming without support, and recalled the key points of the 54 shooting that the instructor said in the first time: "Fifty meters, the ballistic height is 21.8 cm. When aiming, the gap sight is level with the lowest edge of the target. Master the shooting posture and you can get on the target. Pay attention, aim at the edge of the target, do not aim a few rings, aim the white edge of the target paper, and aim the white edge."
Notch, sight, lower edge of the target ring, three points and one line.
Feel good, it's now!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, five shots were shot in one breath, and the palms were slightly numb. Based on their always felt, the results should be good.
However, Zhao Lie was not in a hurry to see the results. Although the results are important, what is more important is to test the bullet (firing medicine), which is the purpose of this gun test. In addition to the curling smoke at the muzzle, the grip and the barrel are slightly hot, nothing unusual. Zhao Lie immediately decomposed the imitation black star and looked at the parts one by one, and the result was satisfactory. Although only five bullets were not enough to make the following conclusion, it at least proved that his refining method was correct.
"I hit it and I hit it!" Ding Xiaoyao happily held up the target and ran over, "Brother Zhao, you've penetrated all your eyes, so amazing."
Ding Xiaoyi, Shi Yang, and Wang Ping'an were both surprised and happy, and couldn't help but reach out to penetrate the bullet hole.
Shi Yang was shocked: "The thickness of this target caught up with the infantry's side sign, and it actually shot through with one shot. If someone stood behind it...tsk tsk."
Wang Ping'an's single eyes shone with an indescribable light, excited, and even hatred, and his fists were clenched tightly.
Zhao Lie has also taken out a lot of Song army situations from Shi Yang's mouth these days, knowing that the so-called side cards are shields. The side cards of infantry are infantry shields, rectangular and have a bracket behind them to prevent cavalry from impacting. They are usually made of wooden, or a whole board or two pieces, and if they are exquisite, they will be covered with a layer of cowhide. However, such exquisite weapons are mostly imperial guards equipment, so don't think about the effectiveness of ordinary wing soldiers.
Zhao Lie is not surprised that the May Fourth Army pistol can penetrate 3mm thick steel plates, 10cm thick wooden boards, 6cm thick brick walls, and 35cm thick soil layer at a distance of 25 meters. Even if you are now using imitations, the launching medicine is black gunpowder rather than a single-base drug, the initial velocity of the bullet is sharply reduced, the power is reduced, and the distance is doubled... Even so, even if it is only one-third of the power, it can penetrate three or fourcm wooden boards. The Song army infantry side cards are about the same thickness, so it is not surprising that this result is.
The infantry side cards are indeed strong. In this era, at the same distance, only the Song army's sharp weapon, the Divine Arm Bow, can achieve the same effect among individual weapons. However, the Divine Arm Bow cannot be operated by a first-class and strong shooter in the army, while the pistol only requires a finger that pulls the plate machine, no matter how women and children.
Shi Yang has never had the chance to use the Divine Arm Bow, but he has seen the power of this powerful crossbow (although the Divine Arm Bow is actually a crossbow) and is very impressed. In this way, the pistol is equivalent to a reduced version of the Divine Arm Bow, and its power is not discounted. Be good...
Compared to the power of the pistol, Zhao Lie is more concerned about his shooting results. He knows the former data in his chest, but the latter is unknown. After Ding Xiaoyi and Shi Yang saw enough and satisfied, he moved his body away from the target. Zhao Lie's eyelids swept the target, breathed a sigh of relief, and went all over the target. They were the fourth ring, the fifth ring, the sixth ring, and the sixth ring, and there was an eight ring. The twenty-ninth ring. Even the instructor would praise this score.
Zhao Liezheng only showed himself successfully for three seconds, but what came from his ear was not praise but muttering: "Why didn't you hit the bull's eye? If this were a forkfish, I'd be afraid that even the tail of the fish wouldn't be hit."
"Ahem cough." Zhao Lie almost choked and stared at Ding Xiaoyi with his chest, "You are very accurate in spearing?"
Before Ding Xiaoyi could speak, Xiaoyao had already answered: "Sister is so powerful, every fork is accurate."
Ding Xiaoyi turned her face and refused to look at Zhao Lie, but her self-satisfaction could be seen from the back of her head.
Zhao Lie handed the gun without saying a word: "There are two bullets left, you can try it."
Ding Xiaoyi took the gun happily. Although she had played with it a lot during this period, she was always empty. At this moment, she loaded the bullets and felt so heavy.
Ding Xiaoyi stood in the position given up by Zhao Lie according to the standard shooting posture he had trained these days. Zhao Lie detailed the key points of shooting the May 4th pistol one by one, and repeatedly emphasized attention to recoil, and finally suppressed Ding Xiaoyi's shoulders. He suggested that she shoot in a squat style so that the lower plate lowered and more stable.
Although Ding Xiaoyi did not give much attention to Instructor Zhao's shooting results, he was very serious in training, meticulous and kept in mind the key points.
Feeling that everything that should be said was almost done, Zhao Lie took five steps back: "Are you ready?"
Ding Xiaoyi tightened her lips and nodded vigorously.
Zhao Lie's face turned cold: "Have you forgotten the training guidelines? Speak!"
Ding Xiaoyi's face turned red and white, and she was short of breath because she held her breath and said loudly: "It's ready."
"I count to three and shoot."
"clear."
"one two three!"
Bang!
As soon as the gun fired, two people fell down - one Ding Xiaoyi and the other Zhao Lie.
The bullets were facing forward, Ding Xiaoyi was facing backward, and sat on the sand.
Zhao Lie was lying down, and the bullet was almost peeled against his scalp - Instructor Zhao was almost broken.
After a while, Zhao Lie wiped his forehead and got up with cold sweat. When he looked at Ding Xiaoyi, his gun fell to the ground, he shook his hands and his ears, his face was pale, his mouth slightly opened, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Suddenly, when he looked up, Zhao Lie stretched out his hand and smiled: "You're off the target."
