Chapter 142
After a cannon shot, the elm cannon, which was compacted by the soil, vibrated obviously for a moment, and then a large cloud of thick smoke rose upwards along with the firelight.
The straw men one hundred and fifty meters in front of the cannon were clearly shaking, and some even had their arms and legs knocked off.
"Senior brother, do you want to go over and have a look?" Hu Yizhou asked.
"Go and have a look!" Liu Gan said.
"This power... if it hits a human body..." Liu Gan said with trembling as he rubbed the dense marks on the wood used as the support for the straw man with his hands.
I saw a layer of obvious wounds on those pieces of wood, and some of the wounds were inlaid with fragments such as iron nails. When this force hits a person, bleeding is bound to happen, and it is possible that it can penetrate the body.
Bones is understandable!
If you are hit by such a weapon, if you don't die, you will have to wait for death! Think about it, the bones are covered with dense fragments, it feels... it is better to die...
"Okay! Good stuff! This, this elm cannon, right? I want it, take it away now!" Liu Gan suddenly shouted loudly, as if he was crazy. It was obvious that he was very excited.
"Liu Erzhi! Don't be crazy! Calm down!" Hu Yizhou also shouted, stopping his senior brother's behavior. This bastard is very good at pretending to be crazy and acting stupid...
"Hey, okay!" This guy has a dog face.
"After trying the elm cannon, let's try the shotgun again, and then try the big lever, which is the gun lift I told you!" Hu Yizhou walked slowly to the side, where was the test site for the shotgun.
"Reporting to the leader, can the shotgun experiment begin?" the test conductor asked.
"You can start!" Hu Yizhou said.
"Get ready for shotgun live fire training!" the experiment commander shouted.
At this time, an experimenter came out carrying a shotgun with a three-edged spur and began to load the bullets one by one.
"Brother, look, this gun can hold six bullets in the magazine, and one bullet in the chamber! In addition to the bullets being scattered, this gun also fires very fast! Rapid-fire experiment!" Hu Yizhou shouted.
"Shotgun rapid fire! Start!" the commander shouted.
"Yes!" the experimenter replied, picked up the gun and started firing rapidly at the wooden target twenty meters in front.
What is rapid fire? It means pulling the trigger back and forth directly to pull the handguard under the ground. Every time you pull it, the shotgun is fired, and bursts of bullets hit the wooden target in front, forming craters one after another.
In order to increase the number of projectiles as much as possible, the No. 12 deer bullet designed by Hu Yizhou did not use large projectiles, but smaller projectiles, so that the number could be a little more. Although the steel balls currently produced by Jiuzhai are somewhat irregular
, But it doesn’t matter, as long as you can kill people!
Ordinarily, lead bullets should be used, but Jiuzhai has not yet made time to smelt lead ore. Steel-making alone is enough, so let’s buy the rest! Since there are free steel bullets, it is natural to save some.
"Senior brother, how are you?" Hu Yizhou asked Liu Gan, who had a dull look on his face. He rarely saw his senior brother with such an expression.
"Okay! Very good! The rate of fire is fast enough! If you are setting up an ambush and choose a good position, you can probably knock down several Japs with this continuous shot!" Liu Gan told the truth.
"Well, I'd say this is suitable for you! The key is that bullets are easy to obtain and you can produce them yourself! It's very suitable for your situation! Now let's do the actual shooting experiment!" Hu Yizhou said.
"Practical experiment..."
The so-called actual combat experiment is to place some scattered straw men, and the experimenter shoots while moving and stabs at close range. The results of the experiment are naturally very successful. This shotgun is a very mature technology, plus Hu Yizhou
Those who have learned how to repair and modify guns will naturally complete it smoothly.
The appearance of shotguns made Liu Gan think of many uses. He immediately wanted to take away a hundred of them, but Hu Yizhou kicked him aside. First, get what you owe me! I will take away ten at most.
Try using it, I won’t give you the bullets, just make them yourself!
The joke was over, Hu Yizhou and Liu Gan returned to where they were before, and the experiment of lifting the pole was about to begin.
The scientific name of this big lifting pole is called carrying a gun! Why is it called a carrying gun? Because it requires two people to lift it!
Um, okay, this thing is an antique from decades ago and has been eliminated long ago.
But why is Hu Yizhou obsessed with getting the big lifting pole out? Because he knows that this thing is very powerful when used properly! This has been proven by history in Baiyangdian!
When Hu Yizhou was in Nanjing, he ordered his uncle to search for these large lifting poles and bring them to Jiuzhaigou. Jiuzhai now has more than 300 large lifting poles of various calibers in stock!
Why so many? Because there are many rich landlords! In the past, landlords and rich people used this thing to look after their homes and homes. Every landlord and old rich man could always find one or two shots like this in his home! It was only later that Hanyang made old sleeves appeared, and gradually
Eliminated.
Too much to say!
The elimination of the big lift rod is directly related to its slow rate of fire, too heavy ammunition, and too much recoil. Of course, the bullets it grabs are also very powerful, and can penetrate even small tanks fighting Japanese enemies!
This is the problem. When this gun was available, it was not a tank yet. If you fire at such a slow rate, one shot per minute, why are you not eliminated compared to those bolt-action rifles?
So why did Hu Yizhou want to get it out? Don't you have a rocket launcher to fight tanks? Is it possible to still use this?
Hu Yizhou also has the intention of transforming it into an anti-tank gun or anti-tank gun. The steel mouth for this kind of gun is very good. The standard barrel steel can be modified. Even those with a caliber of more than 40 can be made into smoothbore.
gun!
However, considering the difficulty of making cannonballs, Hu Yizhou hasn't put much effort into this aspect yet!
What he wants to make is a large single-shot shotgun, with a freely rotating tripod on the front instead of a person carrying it. The bullets used are paper shells. With this modification, one shot can be loaded with one bullet, and the hands will be fast.
It's no problem to fire five or six rounds per minute, or even faster, depending on how many years the shooter has been single...
So, how powerful is this large shotgun?
It is loaded with three ounces of granular gunpowder, and the projectile is filled with date cores and 3 pounds of iron sand. The killing distance is 100 to 150 meters, and the fan surface is 20 to 30 meters. It hits an area as large as the palm of the hand with 5 to 10 grains of iron sand. It can penetrate the human body at 50 meters or
Ship planks...
To put it bluntly, the lethality of this thing is a directional mine that increases the range and controls the walking area!
Think about it, what effect would a shot like this have on the Japanese marching team facing the enemy a hundred meters away? A place as big as a palm would be hit by 5 to 10 pieces of iron sand... This would definitely hit a target with one shot.
Blockbuster!
