"I'll try the electric gun." Zhao Peng said to Wang Xin.

Wang Xin turned around and called three apprentices: "The Chief Jinyiwei wants to test the gun, and the three of you help the chiefs load the guns."

The three apprentices started to load the sub-gun with all their hands and feet. The steps for loading the sub-gun were similar to those of the small cannon. They poured the fired gunpowder into the muzzle, stuffed the projectiles and compacted them, and inserted the medicine twists into the fire door behind them. The reason why the medicine twists were used instead of the medicine was because the medicine twists were placed in the belly of the gun, and the medicine was not easy to ignite, so they used the medicine twists as the cannon. However, because the gun barrel was short, the loading speed was much faster than the cannon.

Zhao Peng carried the lightning gun and walked twenty steps away from the target, preparing to test the gun.

Wang Xin said, "The officer can retreat further and test the gun within fifty steps."

"The bird gun is only fifty steps in the range, and no matter how far the projectile is, you will not know where to go. This gun has a serious air leakage, so it can be shot fifty steps away?" Zhao Peng asked in confusion.

Wang Xin smiled and said, "Although the electric gun leaks seriously, the gun barrel is the barrel of the Lumi gun. Therefore, although the range is not as good as that of the Lumi gun, it can be comparable to that of the bird gun."

The barrel of the electric gun is very long, and the barrel is as long as the Lumi gun and has a relatively small diameter, which makes the Lumi gun projectiles small in mass, but the range and accuracy are higher than that of the bird gun. The technology of creating the Lumi gun barrel is used for the electric gun. Due to the air leakage problem, the range and accuracy are definitely not as good as the Lumi gun, but they can be comparable to the bird gun.

Zhao Peng opened the cover of the electric gun and stuffed the Zi Gun into the belly of the gun. The medicine twist at the tail of the Zi Gun just pressed into the medicine pool. Then he covered the cover and inserted the pin into the small hole, so that the Zi Gun and the female gun were fixed firmly. Then he lit the fuse rope, hung the burning fuse rope on the hook, then picked up the flash gun, aimed at the target fifty steps away, and gently hooked the trigger.

The fuse was pressed into the medicine pool, ignited the medicine twist, and paused for about one breath (equivalent to one second). The gun mouth sprayed out the flames, and the lightning cover and the medicine pool were also sprayed out. The white smoke spread around the muzzle, the cover and the medicine pool respectively.

"The center of the red heart! The sir is good at gunning skills!" The apprentice who called the target shouted excitedly.

The gunman of the previous life was naturally needless to say. Although he used ancient mezzanines, the principles of shooting and aiming were the same. Within the effective range, Zhao Peng basically hit one by one. However, this also shows that this electric gun was well-made. Otherwise, the bird gun of that year accurately hit the target within fifty steps, which was entirely faith. This required rows of volleys to ensure the hit rate.

Zhao Peng pulled out the pin, opened the cover of the snatch gun, put it in reverse, poured the hot sub-gun out of the belly of the gun, then installed a new sub-gun, covered the cover, inserted the pin, and then hung the fuse rope that was bounced off by the gunpowder gas on the hook, and picked up the sub-gun and fired it again.

The firing rate of the electric gun is extremely fast, and it can be loaded and fired in an average of five breaths. With the delay of the medicine twist, it is only six breaths per shot. In one minute, five bullets can be fired.

This fire rate is very fast, which is much faster than the one-minute to one-and-a-half-minute bullet fired in the past.

Since it is impossible to use the induced ignition ejector, but the induced ignition ejector is used, so there will be a delay of about one second after the trigger is pulled. The inability to use the induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced induced

The firing rate of five shots per minute was considered good back then, but in later generations, a skilled lobster soldier, could reach the firing rate of five shots per minute with a front loading gun, and there was no air leakage problem. If you want to be faster, it would be better to directly use the firing needle type and then install the gun. With the bullet cabin, it would be even faster. However, the firing cabin type and the bullet cabin type are already the 20th century's large bolt rifle. With the current technological level, it is definitely impossible to create a bolt action rifle.

It has to be said that the electric gun invented by Zhao Shijian was a very advanced concept back then, but due to technical reasons, air-retaining structure problems and cost factors, this weapon is destined to be unable to be mass-produced.

Since it cannot be mass-produced, it cannot be put into practical use, so Zhao Peng's idea is still to return to the flintlock rifle.

The Ming Dynasty really had a flintlock rifle, which is a new type of musket called self-produced musket. It was a self-produced musket invented by Bi Maokang, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War.

There are samples of self-generated muskets in the warehouse of the Beijing Military Weapon Bureau. When Zhao Peng saw the sample, he saw that the structure of this self-generated musket is not much different from that of a bird gun. It is just that the hook of the flint connected to the trigger is replaced by a gear and a flaming steel wheel. When pulling the trigger, the gear drives the flaming steel wheel, striking flint, and igniting the induction medicine to fire the musket.

This is an ancient rotary flintlock rifle. The trigger is very heavy and requires great force to pull the trigger. The fire efficiency is very low, far less than the dog-locked flintlock rifle invented by the French.

The dog lock flintlock rifle has a dog lock machine on the firing device of the gun, and there is a piece of flint on it. A steel plate is connected to the medicine pool cover plate in front. Pull the trigger. The flint on the dog lock machine hits the steel plate, and sparks appear. When hitting the steel plate, the cover of the medicine pool is opened. The flintlock after hitting the steel plate is directly knocked into the medicine pool. The hot flintlock ignites the lead-in and fires the fire gun. Such a flintlock rifle is much simpler in structure than a rotary flintlock rifle, uses fewer parts and is more reliable. This is called simplicity and roughness.

With the cancellation of the fuse, the musketeers' loading speed is faster, and they can arrange more densely in line to line up and shoot. With a reliable flintlock rifle, they are truly entering the era of queuing and shooting.

This dog-locked flintlock rifle was used until the 19th century and was replaced by firing and robbing. It is a reliable weapon that has been used for two centuries.

Although the principle and structure of this flintlock rifle is very simple and has very high reliability, the key to making this musket is the reliability of spring steel strips. With the current steelmaking technology of the Ming Dynasty, only the most sophisticated Su steel can meet the requirements. This is another cost issue, because Su steel is very expensive and almost equivalent to silver in this era, so this weapon is difficult to produce in large quantities.

To mass-produce dog-locked flintlock rifles, steelmaking industry needs to enter industrialization. Now Zhao Peng wants to mass-produce flintlock rifles. Even if he escorts the prince to Nanjing to ascend the throne, it will be difficult to complete industrialization before the Qing army invades Jiangnan. That is, taking the path of improving firearms, it seems that it will not work at all.

In this case, I can only make a fuss about existing firearms.

There are also a swarm of rockets in the warehouse, and even mines! The mine's fuse is a flintlock, which burys the mines into the pit. Once the enemy step on the mine, the connecting rod will drive the lighter flintlock to ignite the gunpowder, causing the mine to explode. This is the most primitive mine.

Yi Wan Hunting Rockets, this is the current large open flame with the highest fire rate. Yi Wan Hunting Rockets put the rockets in a wooden tube, with thirty-two magical arrows and one hundred tigers running together.

The magical arrows are not as terrible as those in the magical arrows in a certain country. In fact, they are thirty-two feather arrows tied with powder barrels. They fire thirty-two feather arrows at one volley. Of course, they will not explode when shot out, but they are just a little more powerful than the bow and arrow.

The hundreds of tigers run together, and the power is even greater. There are 100 rockets in the wooden tube. Ignite the medicine twists and shoot a hundred arrows at a time. As long as one hundred soldiers carry 100 tubes and 100 tigers and 100 arrows at a time, they can shoot ten thousand arrows at a time.

But Wang Xin's words disappointed Zhao Peng again: "These rockets are shoddy and inferior goods. If the rockets want to shoot accurately, they need to make carefully paper tubes, and the fire-breathing holes must be in the middle of the paper tube. Officials of the Ministry of Industry only know how to greedy silver. The quality of the rockets created in this way can be imagined."
