Chapter 2682: Mini rifle
Hot recommendation:
The king, the king’s women, the nobles, ministers, attendants, and the king’s guard were all dressed in silk and woolen garments inlaid with gold and silver. The sun was splendid and the grandeur of the king’s family was full.
They all took their place. After King Louis XIV sat on the throne of the stands, he was not too polite. With a wave of his hand, the Secretary of State for the Army, Count Ruffoy, stepped forward to speak.
Count Ruffoy was a lucky man who had a good fetus. His real name was François-Michel Thalier. On January 18, 1641, Ruffoy was born in Paris. He was the French Minister of War (also translated as Minister of Arms). ) Son of Michel Le Tellier, Marquis de Barberzieu, and Elizabeth Tropin. He assisted his father when he was very young and was appreciated by Louis XIV. In 1666, the son inherited his father’s career as the French Minister of War. He is now The Secretary of State of the Army who controls the military affairs of the Army.
The rigorous and capable Loufouis made a drastic effort to rectify the armaments and tirelessly train soldiers for Louis XIV. His military reforms enabled the rapid development of the French army. He reorganized the French army, created the Invalides in Paris, and forced all French aristocrats to register. Rufouy's military and political work is inseparable from the independent spirit of Louis XIV.
It can be said that this is a loyal dog under Louis XIV, very young and capable.
What he wants to announce today is the successful development of the legal Mini-style rifle. According to His Majesty’s will, it will be named "Lofua-style front-mounted flintlock rifle" (named after him), and it will be officially installed in the army!
With the sound of exciting music, a group of energetic French infantry stepped on the drums and stepped forward with muskets. They first saluted the king, then stood in front of the king, and performed a series of operations according to the commander’s command: under the gun. Shoulder, load the gun, raise the gun, aim and shoot!
Before shooting, many people, including the king, watched with binoculars.
The officer read aloud "The target distance is one hundred meters! Release!"
"Boom!" Then the bullet hit ten targets in the distance, all of them shattered!
The French infantry who had shot back retreated, and another group of French infantry stepped forward to prepare, and another officer said out loud, "The target distance is two hundred meters! Let it go!"
"Boom!" After the gunshot, the distant target was smashed again.
For the third time, the target with a target distance of 300 meters was smashed!
For accuracy in long shots, and power in close shots, someone set up two two-thirds-inch thick aspen wood planks at 20 places under the king’s stand. The shot was fired, and the bullet penetrated the second layer of wood.
Wow, if used to hit people, wouldn't it be possible to shoot through a person at close range and then penetrate anyone who is not far from the ballistic trajectory!
The nobles and ladies who watched the shooting were talking excitedly. They had all seen the world without screaming or fainting. They praised the powerful and powerful firepower of this new rifle, and the shooting was accurate!
"It's really amazing!" Viscount de Koscielny nodded secretly.
He is proficient in firearms, knowing that a shotgun using projectiles has an accuracy of only 50 meters at close range. If it exceeds 100 meters, it will only have a half-hit rate.
The hit rate of the rifled gun using round-headed projectiles can only be guaranteed at about 200 meters, and the hit rate will not be possible beyond this distance.
The accuracy of this new type of musket is high, and the hit rate can be guaranteed at 300 meters, which may be more than 300 meters!
The next step was the noble lords stepping forward to test fire. With his agility, Viscount de Koscielny grabbed a position and got this new rifle.
It weighs almost five kilograms and has a caliber close to 18 mm. It is a front-loaded (bullet) rifled rifle. It is well-made. The barrel is made of good iron. The barrel is made of high-quality walnut and is equipped with Safety lock to prevent misfire, the gun is also equipped with a scope!
This is not the key, the key is the bullet!
The bullet that Viscount de Koscielny got was a tapered bullet with a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the barrel. This made it easy to load the bullet. There was a cone-shaped hollow at the bottom of the bullet, and a wooden plug blocked the bottom of the hole.
He just glanced at it, and he understood the principle. When shooting, the gunpowder gas impacted the cork, and the cork suddenly supported the bullet after an instant impact. Since the bullet is enlarged, it is possible to rely on the bullet itself to complete the sealing of the chamber at the moment of launch without leaking gunpowder gas and causing the loss of the kinetic energy of the bullet. This solves the problem of the airtight chamber of the old front-loading gun, and greatly enhances the rate of fire, range and safety of the gun.
With the assistance of a soldier, he loaded the bullet easily, then squeezed the trigger, and calmly smashed the target fifty meters away.
The soldier praised: "My lord, your marksmanship is true!"
"It's the king's musket!" Viscount de Koscielny said with a smile.
He returned to his original position with a smile on his face, but his heart sank!
The Chinese have had such bullets for a long time, and the rifle that uses this bullet is named the Mini-style rifle. UU Reading www.uukanshu. com This is named by the Supreme Emperor, so you can use it correctly.
The French didn't have this kind of rifle before, and the Chinese were beaten enough with Mini-style rifles. Now they have succeeded in imitating the Chinese Mini-style rifles, which will greatly enhance the French's combat effectiveness.
This won't work, you have to inform the Chinese as soon as possible!
Yes, that's right, Viscount de Koscielny is a Chinese agent. He arrived in the South China Empire a few years ago and was instigated by the South China Intelligence Agency and joined the South China Intelligence Agency!
Those French old and young men stepped forward to shoot. After an addiction, Louis XIV left the throne and stood in front of the stage. The Count of Loufois announced that the king had awarded the first regiment of the Royal Forest Army muskets by the king!
Amidst the sound of music, Count de Mandanda Jacobs, head of the Musketeer Regiment, came to the stage to symbolically accept a silver musket from the king's hand, and raised the musket to show it around.
Louis XIV took advantage of the opportunity to give an enthusiastic speech. He boasted that the army had used new rifles, deployed troops on a large scale, and built a large number of forts and coastal forts everywhere, and used more heavy artillery! The navy has built more battleships and will surely be able to drive the Eastern pagans from Europe back to their hometowns.
The nobles and ladies listened to him attentively, applauding from time to time.
I have to say that Fourteen's eloquence is very good, and it deceives people's hearts, so that everyone present can't wait to immediately start a war with the Eastern pagans, and beat them all to the bottom!
Viscount de Koscielny clapped his hands, pretending to be fascinated on the surface, but actually did not miss the information disclosed in Louis XIV's speech.
Mini rifle;
Forts and forts;
Heavy artillery
Battleship!
Yes, I have a lot of tasks. I have to spy on the French intelligence and report it to my dear comrades!
