Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 54—Three-point, one-line aiming

Yeah, it’s already seven days for Claude to think about it. So I apologized to Eriksson. I didn't go to his dock to help today. I turned to the carriage and prepared to go to the big hammer blacksmith shop in Zhennan.

Then Claude found that his three partners had already got into the carriage, ready to follow the past, and Claude spent a silver tale seven riasuo's huge amount of this sight sight. Toys...

Go and go, it’s rare to see. The four men went to the big hammer together, and Mike's boss saw Verricko and Claude came, and he consciously took out the already built sight sight.

I have to say that Mike's boss doesn't look at the five big three thick ones, but the craftsmanship is really good. The good sight sights are black and faint, the corners are smooth and round, and they feel very comfortable.

Crowder noticed the size and the straightness of the centering pin. He took the measurement tool of Mike's boss once and found that there was no deviation from the size he had handed it. Crowder showed a satisfied smile and thanked Mike.

Mike's boss is also relieved. The custom devices like this are all collected first. He is worried that the customers who made the order and the scheduled customers are not satisfied, and even said that what they want is not like this. Although there are drawings that are not afraid of the guests to deny, but one thing is not as good as one thing, especially the second generation like Claude who has parents behind him is the most difficult to serve...

Claude and Mike's boss greeted each other. One was very satisfied with the craftsmanship and technology of the big hammer. One thought that such a bold guest like Claude would come to visit more in the future. The big hammer will definitely give a very affordable price. s price. After talking for a long time nonsense, Crowder only quit and the partners took the sight of the sight of the yard of the big hammer blacksmith shop.

Eriksson said that it was not as good as Claude to go home to take the gun, and then go to his dock to try this thing is not as useful as Claude boasting these days.

Although it is the private dock of the Eriksson family, it may be accidentally injured in the place. After all, there are stone houses and shacks built with wood. The people in the small alleys come and go, and the docks are next to them. There is a small market...so Claude shakes his head...

"Are you stupid? My dock is at the lake. You won't shoot in the lake. How can you hurt people there..." Eriksson angered.

"There is no place to stand in the lake..." Bokal hasn't reacted yet.

"What target do you want to make a piece of wood and throw it in the lake? Is it a target on the surface of the water? You are a wooden bag!"

Eriksson is right, this is a good idea. So the four men took the carriage to the red brick house in Claude's house. When Claude took the arquebus and the gunpowder in the attic, he took the carriage and went to the private dock of Eriksson’s house.

The four Sonar's carriage fees were paid by Bok Al, and he ran the slowest and was caught by the coachman. Anyway, when the carriage stopped Claude, Verricko and Eriksson jumped out of the carriage and ran to the dock. Bokal did not react. He wanted to let everyone know his own Sunar. The money of the car...

Bokal complained that the partners did not smack and snorted into the dock, and saw that Claude was loading the sight sight at the muzzle, and Eriksson and Verricko were watching.

Putting a little butter on the outside of the barrel of the muzzle, Claude smoothly placed the sight sight on the barrel. The fixing was made with a small screw, the sleeve under the center of the barrel. A small hole is opened and screwed into the top of the barrel with a small screw to fix the sight sight. Just before fixing, Crowder had to first align the alignment pin on the sight with the center axis of the barrel.

After fixing the entire sight sight, Crowder will adjust the needle. Because the rear aiming hole is on the lid of the cartridge, rather than the normal door gauge crank adjustment device, Claude can only push the idea of ​​distance aiming adjustment to the top of the sight.

This aligning needle is divided into five parts, the thickest below and then the finer the upper, like an elongated sleeve, a feeling of one set. No way, Claude calculated that the highest point of this aligning needle is one millimeter lower than the aiming hole on the disk cover, so that the target can be shot at three points in a line of about 50 meters. Then a little further, such as a distance of 100 meters, from the rear aiming hole to the quasi-central needle can only start from the second quarter to the target, which is to adjust the number of knots of the alignment needle to adjust the crankshaft of the door gauge. effect……

Finally, when Klein adjusted the sight sight, Verricko tried to throw a small piece of wood that had already been prepared into the lake. Because it was a wooden block, the lightness did not make it strong, so the distance was somewhat close. It was only thrown twenty meters away, which was still floating on the surface of the water.

"Nothing," Claude said. "I will test it a few times."

Install gunpowder and guns, clamp the fire rope after tamping, ignite, press the hoist gun on the bracket, and then start aiming.

Needless to say, the front of the barrel is equipped with this sight sight, and Claude feels that the aiming is natural. There is a sense of familiarity from the heart. From the u-hole on the cover, the front sight is aligned. At the highest point, aiming at the small wooden blocks floating in the lake, and pulling the trigger, the slamming fire rope was hammered into the pill box, and the "bang" sounded, the gray smoke rose...

Claude was a little annoyed without hitting small wooden blocks. The gun just hit the lake behind the small wooden block, less than a finger away from the small wooden block...

Continue to use the strip to wipe off the gun, pour the gunpowder again, tamping, then put the gun, continue to tamping, clip the fire rope, ignite the fire rope, put it on the bracket, aim again, shoot...

A total of four shots, the first three shots can be said to be shot next to the small wooden block, the distance is very close, almost attached to small wooden blocks, only the fourth shot is really hitting small wooden blocks, and even small wooden blocks Hit from the water to the front a few meters away...

Crowder turned his head and found that he had just focused on shooting, and his three partners stood stunned and stood there staring at the small piece of wood that was hit in the lake...

"How did you do it..." Verricko felt that he was going crazy, even if he had to take the old-fashioned arquebus gun of his family, even if he was already familiar with the habit of the musket, Ricklow did not feel that he could hit the small wooden block in the lake in four shots...

The reason is very simple. When he is aiming at the target, he must first subtract the distance of the error in his mind. For example, aim at the position of the upper left point of the small wooden block, but it is the lake, and there are small waves together. The corrugation caused by the sinking and floating of small wooden blocks in the water, which gives Verricko the trouble of estimating the distance error, it is easy to see...

Verricko can guarantee that he can only rely on the small wooden blocks in the lake, but he believes that it is impossible to be able to be surrounded by small wooden blocks for three consecutive shots. It can almost be shot, and it is attached to small wooden blocks. Shot in the lake...

"It's all the credit of this sight." Claude smiled indifferently, and took a small piece of wood and drew a simple diagram on the ground: "From here, the u-hole on the cover, aligned with the front. At the highest end of the needle, aim at the small wooden block in the lake, three points and one line, stabilize the gun body, pull the trigger, you can hit the target."

"Boa, can you understand? Come and try, do as I said." Claude handed the arquebus to Bokal.

"Boom", the small wooden block was hit again and bounced out of the water...

"Haha, I said that I have a talent for shooting. You still don't believe it. The first shot hits, yeah! Long live!"

Claude stared at Bok Al and jumped and screamed at the swearing! Why did he shoot four shots and hit the small wooden block in the lake? Bokal shot the first shot...

Now it’s the turn of Eriksson to shoot, and Claude finally found confidence in him. This guy shot seven shots and didn't hit the small wooden block. Every time it was almost hit, it was a little worse. Like Claude's first three shots, they all rubbed small pieces of wood in the water...

Bok's hand danced next to Eriksson and pointed out how he aimed, but he also forgot how his shot hit the small wooden block. The more he said, the more chaotic, and finally Crowd stepped back and told again. What are they three-point and one-line aiming.

Eriksson shot three more shots and finally hit a small piece of wood in the lake.

Finally, it was Verrikro's turn, but he only shot once and then stopped shooting, and the shot was also very powerful, about half a meter away from the small wooden blocks in the lake.

"What's wrong with you?" Claude thought that Verricko seemed to be a bit strange.

Verricko smiled: "I can't shoot with your gun and your aiming method... I am worried that using your three-point aiming shot will make me forget the kind of shooting and aiming that I originally mastered. The instinct of distance error... Really, your aiming method is very simple and feasible, even a novice can easily grasp the shooting points. Although this sight sight is difficult to read in the gun head, I have to admit that this The gadget is really useful..."

Bokal came over: "Claude, I am sorry that I thought you got this a few days ago, what is it called? Right, preparing the sight is a squandering act. Now I admit that it is my fault. This preparation sight is very useful and useful. I also want to install one on my gun. Can you take me to the big hammersmith and talk to the big boss?"

Claude is also a bitter smile: "This is called a sight sight. It is not a preparation for a sight. If you want to install one, it is natural. There are drawings. I am here. I can accompany you to the big hammer and Mike boss. Talk about it, you pay for the fare."

"You will be jealous when you come in the afternoon, leave me and let me pay for the fare." Bocker said with dissatisfaction, but then he started the idea of ​​this sight sight: "Right, Claude, You said that we will do more sales of this sight sight, will there be a lot of people to buy it? Such a convenient shooting sight, three points and one line, haha, even a novice can easily hit the target There must be a big market prospect..."

Crowder shook his head: "Sorry, Boa, I don't plan to intervene in this business. If you want to do it, you have to do it, but you have to prepare for a big loss of bleeding..."

"Why?" Bocker is puzzled.

"One, this stuff is expensive, I am a silver tower, seven riasuo, or Mike's boss to see the preferential price on my father's face, another must be considered Mike's boss craftsmanship, this is hand polished, you think Who would be willing to spend two or three more than the price of Silver Tale to buy this stuff?

Second, the sight sight is mounted on the Obas two-type arquebus. You are the same. You have to re-install and adjust it before you can use it. It is not what you think it is installed. Can use. In addition to me, who else can you find the calibration adjustment for this stuff? But I am not willing to help others with this calibration adjustment...

Third, the old-fashioned arquebus is not suitable for this sight sight. For example, the Vero's three-piece model, the muzzle is a horn, you can't install it. The most important point is that Vero has already said that he can't shoot with my aiming method, because it will give him a lot of confusion about the shooting instinct and skills he has mastered...

Therefore, the business of your prospective sight sight can't be done at all. There are guns that have their own customary shooting aiming methods. People who don't understand will not spend money to buy this stuff. Do you understand? ”

"This is the case..." Bocker said disappointedly.

Crowder shrugged. He didn't tell Bocker that the biggest customer of this prospective sight is the military. This stuff is most useful for recruits who have just entered the barracks, allowing them to be in the shortest possible time. Become an excellent shooter.

However, Claude does not think Boa can take the military line, and if the business is done with the military and does not bring benefits to himself and his partners. There is no patent law in this world. If you want to copy it, no one can stop it. It’s better to play with it. There is no need to do business to bring you big trouble...
