Chapter 275 Calabria and the Carbine

It's a bit funny. The name originally came from the language of Fa, which means soldiers holding old-fashioned smoothbore muskets. Later, these soldiers evolved into special light cavalry, which became synonymous with lances.

The reason why these soldiers holding old-fashioned muskets were called that name is said to be because the batch of muskets in Fa were purchased from Calabria.

Calabria, the southern part of the Apennine Peninsula, historically belonged to the Kingdom of Naples and was one of the major kingdoms (republics) that constitute modern bulk Italy.

Kar98k, the lowercase k at the back means short in the language of the zoo. The Kar in front is the abbreviation of carbine, and some say it is the abbreviation of buckle or carabiner.

However, this buckle carabiner was originally used by cavalry to tie carbines. According to the etymological evolution, its root is still carbine.

So from the name of this gun, it is shortened based on the carbine.

However, even so, compared with modern short assault rifles that are often less than 700mm in length, the Kar98k, which is 1100mm in length, or one meter and one meter, is undoubtedly still a long gun.

Of course, it is precisely because it is too long that many people do not recognize that Kar is the abbreviation of carbine, and think that it is understood as its extended meaning: a special strap buckle design, which can better explain why it is so long.

Ruger doesn't care about this, anything is fine.

Anyway, the total length of the gun has been reduced from the original G to Kar.

In short, the Kar98k is still very long.

This means that it is still difficult for shooters with ordinary strength to control, especially on horseback.

But it also means that its long barrel can give the bullet higher kinetic energy under the premise of sufficient propellant.

The ordinary World War II version of the 98k, firing Mauser bullets, can easily reach an effective range of 500 meters. If equipped with a scope, the range can be directly increased to 900 meters, and it can be used directly as a sniper rifle.

As we all know, a scope will not enhance the firing process of the gun itself.

The reason why the range becomes longer after adding a scope is that the original mechanical sight can no longer be used on a target farther away.

Because the farther the target is, the smaller it looks in the human eye.

When the target is so small that it is completely obscured by the crosshairs in the human eye, the mechanical sight cannot be used.

As the saying goes, "I understand the truth, but why is the pigeon so big?"

It can be seen that the ammunition of this gun is powerful enough or even too much, and it is actually people who limit its strength.

As soon as this fallen Rogue lady on horseback appeared, she casually raised the K98k, which can be called a work of art, and fired three consecutive shots at the ice mage.

She actually shot the firing rate of a semi-automatic rifle with this rotating bolt-action single-shot rifle.

You should know that the average firing rate of this gun in the hands of ordinary soldiers is only about ten rounds per minute.

A skilled shooter can increase the firing rate to fifteen rounds per minute, and that's it.

But compared to ordinary people, the young lady Rogge on horseback holds the handguard with her left hand, and can hold the gun firmly with one hand.

The right hand is responsible for shooting and pulling the bolt to load the gun, and the continuous movement is fast and accurate. Not only does it shuttle back and forth quickly between several positions, but there is no lag or adhesion.

Ruger, who is also a good shooter, knows that her attainments in archery are definitely deep enough when she sees her like this.

The grip is heavy and steady, and the shooting hand is accurate and fast. This is the master, master, and master among shooters.

She can even transplant the original bow and arrow rapid shooting skills so perfectly to the bolt-action rifle, and produce a rifle continuous shooting effect similar to a chain arrow.

This sister on horseback is definitely the strongest shooter that Ruger has ever seen in the two worlds, no one else.

What? What is Tia?

Tia is the strongest gunner, and she is more desperate than this young lady.

The horseback archer lady over there fired three consecutive shots, and each shot hit the three ice mages with incomparable accuracy.

Although the three mages were only injured but not dead because of the Paladin's defensive aura and the Ice Mage's own defensive magic ice armor, the young lady's "power of presence" still forced the Paladin to switch from offense to defense.

At the same time, she naturally resolved the crisis of the mature version of the Golden Lion King.

The young lady, who was called "afterthought" by the Golden Lion King, slowly pressed bullets into the 98k's built-in magazine while saying to the strong man, "Lion, control your hot temper."

"Didn't we try it last time? Drive that guy to the ground, and it will break down in less than three minutes."

"The special radiation here will damage the equipment in the car. It can't be used without biochemical improvement."

"Biochemical improvement? You want to install those disgusting biological tissues as mechanical equipment in my armor again? How can you tolerate that thing?" The Golden Lion King, called the Lion, said angrily.

"Haha, disgusting biological tissue? Are you talking about yourself? Don't forget, in essence, we are the same as those biological tissues, we are all biochemically modified people." Miss Ma Hou Pao said sarcastically.

"No, it's your business if you want to think so, but I'm different!" Lion was not discouraged by Miss Ma Hou Pao's words, but instead he straightened his chest and said proudly:

"I am the chosen commander, the upper-level Iron Man warrior, Lion Leon!"

As he said that, the guy grabbed a long-handled battle axe from the back of the Puma reconnaissance armored vehicle, and the whole person started the Iron Man armored suit!

After a while, the golden lion king, who was two meters tall before, turned into an armored warrior who was at least two meters and three meters tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, and was broad and strong.

The long-handled battle axe in his hand was much larger than before, and the axe blades on both sides were stretched to almost the same length as the blade of an ordinary single sword.

His weapon could actually be transformed into Iron Man with him!

This man was one of the twelve Iron Man commanders in the Ghostly Dungeon.

A lion?

Ruger narrowed his eyes as he looked at the man.

On the one hand, he felt a kind of "kindness" for this Ghostly Iron Man warrior who he hadn't seen for a long time.

On the other hand, he was also very interested in this guy's technology or ability to Iron Man his weapon.

This technology is very useful to him.

Thinking of this, Ruger slowly nodded his head and decided that he really had to continue studying the Radam tree in the logistics space-biochemical laboratory when he returned.

He had two genuine "sacred trees" of the Ghostly Charm in his hands, but his analysis and utilization of the Iron Man system was not as good as those Iron Man bodies transformed by the Ghostly Charm Leader E52 using monsters or demonized humans.

This was intolerable.

After the lion transformed into a Iron Man warrior, he immediately used his strong advantage and swung the double-edged battle axe in his hand to chop at the gate of the cult's residence.
