Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 51 Shooting Practice

"Aiming, the two launch points are aligned in line with the middle of the target, and the hand is steady... pay attention to the fire rope, close your eyes, put it!"

There was a loud voice from Verricko, and Claude closed his eyes and pulled the trigger hard.

"Oh... oh... bang!"

The buttocks on the shoulders slammed backwards, and Claude’s surprise was that the recoil of the Obash II arquebus was not as big as it was supposed to be. The rear seat force of the Gary three-type old-fashioned arquebus was much less. The recoil force when the arquebus was fired was like a heavy punch. If you didn't get ready, it would be good to go back a few steps. The body might almost come back and fall down...

Verricko did not go to see the target. Instead, he came over and took over the arquebus in Bok Al's hand. He looked at it with great care. He admired it with envy: "It's a good gun. In fact, I should try the gun first. I just saw that when you fired, I discovered that the gun could be fired without closing your eyes."

Ok?

Looking at the skeptical expressions of Claude and Bocker, Verricko lifted his gun and explained: "I was still wondering why the box of the Obash II arquebus would be away from the wooden butt. So far, you see, the wooden **** of this gun is particularly long, one and a half feet from the back end of the barrel. This is to lengthen the distance between the pillbox and the eye when aiming, to ensure that the fire rope splashes after entering the pillbox. The sparks will not hurt the eyes. The second is to make the wooden buttstock more comfortable to hold the shoulders and keep the gun body stable. The third is that the length distance makes it easier for the gunman to carry out two launch points and targets. Aiming between...

You have seen my Gali three-type old-fashioned arquebus, and you should find that the position of the pill box is particularly backward. This is because the distance from the pill box is easily blurred when aiming, it is too close. The reason. In addition, I found that the seals on the two new guns were very good. The trigger fire rope entered the pill box and almost no sparks were splashed. So I think you don't need to close your eyes when you use this gun to launch. ”

Verikro raised his gun on his shoulder and made a standing and aiming action: "Look, the distance between the pill box and my eyes is widened. When shooting, you don't need to close your eyes to better maintain the accuracy of the shot. There is also this wooden buttstock, which is very comfortable and can better maintain the stability of the gun body. Yes, I forgot to ask you, do you think the recoil is big when you just shot?"

Claude and Bokal both shook their heads, and both felt that the recoil was not strong.

As for the problem of the distance between the kits and the wooden butts, the Claude did not think that there was any fuss. As long as it was studied according to human mechanics, the arquebuses were improved from the appearance and those in memory. The modern rifle is very similar, although its launch method is still very primitive and backward...

Verricko licked the arquebus in his hand and set it up to compare himself with himself: "The weight is lighter than my old-fashioned arquebus, and the length of the gun seems to be reduced. Twenty centimeters is more convenient for long-distance marching carrying and launching operations. I remember my father said that the Obash type 2 arquebus can be equipped with a bayonet as a spear to directly assassinate the fighting on the battlefield. Do you have this gun? With a bayonet?"

Claude recalled all the matching items in the wooden box and shook his head. "No, I didn't find a bayonet. If there is, I won't buy the fish bone dagger from Wakuri."

Bokal said that he did not find any bayonet in the wooden box to make accessories.

"I originally wanted to see how the bayonet was placed on the barrel," Verricko said, touching the barrel. "You have a straight barrel. The muzzle and the barrel are the same size, unlike me. That is a bit of a trumpet. My father said that my old-fashioned arquebus was directly inserted into the barrel of the bayonet. Your new one is said to be buckled outside the barrel and does not affect the launch of the musket."

Crowder had seen the bayonet of the Verizro family, and the last time he went to Egret Island, Verikoro was with him. It looks almost as long as a short sword, but one is a single-sided blade and the other is a double-sided blade. But the handle was bare and it was very uncomfortable to hold. No way, Verricko explained that this is to be able to get inside the barrel.

"In fact, it is very simple. The iron ring with the same casing in front of the handle of the bayonet and the tail can be placed outside the barrel without affecting the firing of the gun." Although there is no physical object of the bayonet, Lenovo thinks about Clo. De is in my heart.

"Let's go and see the target. I just hit the shot that Claude played." Bocker is very impatient. You stand here and talk nonsense. He can't wait to see his shooting results.

So the three went to the target 50 meters away. This distance is determined by Verricko. He believes that using standard dry powder No. 1 to launch gunpowder, then the error in aiming and shooting distance is preferably about 50 meters. This is a clear target, and it is easy to adjust the aiming gap according to the position of the hit. The second is that the guns that are fired at this distance can only be straight lines, without having to consider the impact of external factors such as the wind on the guns that are emitted...

Only when the three people reached the target, they found that the target was smooth and intact, and there was no unexpected bullet hole. Obviously, both Claude and Bocker did not hit their target.

The two targets are not a circular target around the central red dot that Claude is familiar with, but two mimic wooden signs, one for the antelope and one for the wild boar.

The targets of this world are all shaped, such as the archer's practice of shooting humanoid grass targets. In the era of the guns, the military camp was to change the grass target to the adult-shaped wood target. They do not pursue the firing accuracy of a musket. They also stand in a horizontal queue and fire fire, and then count how many bullet holes are on the wood target as the coverage success rate of the shot.

Verricko once heard his father say that a hundred soldiers were fired in a queue, and all the ten wooden targets on the opposite side had excellent bullet holes. The eight targets had good bullet holes and six targets. There are bullet holes for passing. The following will be punished.

The two wooden signs of Bokal’s antelope and wild boar graphics moved from their own warehouses are actually commodities. They only buy a lot of people, and they have one or two volumes over the years. So Bokal took the shot directly from the warehouse.

"Where did you just aim?" asked Verricko.

"I am aiming at the body center of the wild boar." Bocker said that he shot the wild boar target.

"I am aiming here." Claude pointed his finger at the heart of the antelope target.

Both targets are each resting on a large tree.

Verricko's experienced bow looks for bullet marks around the target.

"This should be shot by Crowder." So soon Vericko found a bullet hole in the ground below the antelope target.

Crowder looked at the bullet hole on the ground and looked at the target part he was aiming at. The heart said that it was too exaggerated. The difference between the upper and lower sides was more than 30 cm, and the distance deviation was nearly one foot.

It was good to find the bullet hole that Claude shot, but the gun that Bocker shot out could not be found. After spending a long time, Verizro can only helplessly think that it is very likely that Bokal will close his eyes and shake his hand at the moment of launching. He will not know where to shoot when the gun is shot. Fortunately, there is no one's woods, otherwise it is very likely to cause accidental injuries.

Bokal was very convinced, so he and Claude again pour the medicine, use the tamping to tamper, then install the gun, tamper again, then charge the medicine box, cut the fire rope, clamp the fire rope, put the arson in the gun Stand up, ignite the fire rope, start aiming...

This time, Claude did not close his eyes and saw that the fire rope burned almost as soon as he pulled the trigger. "Boom", the fire on the gun box flashed a gray smoke.

Bok Albikrod was shot a few seconds later, but after the shooting he complained that he was shocked by Claude's gunshots. This time it may not be possible.

Going back to the target again, the target is still bare. But this time, under the target, less than a finger distance found bullet holes and trunks that had been shot on the trunk.

Crowder estimated that this time the position of the aiming is about 20 centimeters.

Bok Al's bullet hole was also found, but it was about half a meter away from the target. This deviation was too big.

The third launch of Claude's self-adjustment, the two launch points moved straight to the top of the target by one finger and fired.

This time, the bullet marks were finally left on the target, but Claude estimated that the bullet marks on the head of the antelope appeared on the back. Verricko laughed and said that if it is a real hunting, this antelope can still escape in the mountains.

Bok Alyi was shot.

Verricko took out a small brush and dipped some ink on the bullet that Claude stayed on the antelope's target. This was to avoid smashing the bullet marks of the next shot. After viewing it, he clicked on the bullet mark of the target. Ink is also used to make greater use of this target.

Claude continued shooting.

After Boker Al shot ten shots, he felt boring. He threw the arquebus gun to Verricko and asked him to adjust the shooting deviation. He drove his own carriage to the dock to find Eriksson, and found an excuse to say It’s time to see if he dragged the broken sea shovel back.

Claude and Verricko looked at each other with a smile. Bokal was such a temper. He was not unwise, but he had little patience with these weapons, just as he learned swordsmanship. If you give him a book, then Claude and Verizro will have no interest in looking at it, but Bok Al can look at it for a long time, and finally tell the partners what the account book remembers, inside. Have you made any false accounts and have been exploited by others?

Compared with Bocker, Verricko is much more professional. This Obassh II arquebus is in his hand. The deviation is estimated only after ten shots. The two launch points are in line with the target. After the shooting, the bullet hole is at the left and right distances of the left and right fingers at the aiming position. After the next ten shots adjust the deviation degree, the target is basically hit, and the ten shots have eight shots.

Claude is still shooting and self-estimating the deviation distance. He always feels that he is not adjusting the aiming target and shooting the bullet hole in one position. Perhaps this should be the reason for the antelope target. This is really a bad aim. It’s only a good idea to estimate a contour. It’s good to shoot on the body, not Crowder’s imagination.

Bok Al was back in a carriage. He said that Eriksson had already dragged the broken sea shovel back, and now he is on fire with the uncle Peg on the pier.

"What about baking?" Claude didn't understand.

Verricko laughed: "That is to dismantle the board. You don't know if the board is glued on both sides." The glue is mixed with fish gelatin, horns and tendons. If the glue is used to paste the ship's board, the ship's board must be fired to raise the temperature so that the glue can be melted before the ship's board can be separated. Otherwise, the ship's board is cracked and the solidified place is still very strong..."

So, Claude remembered his own thing: "Right, Boa, first send me to the bookstore, I buy some papyrus paper to make the target paper. You don't have to bring these two shaped targets tomorrow, I will give you The size, you call the carpenter of your business to give me two simple targets, to practice shooting tomorrow, to ensure better than these two targets."
