For Jin Feng, the structure of the firearm is not very complicated. The only trouble is the lack of tools. Many parts can only be polished by hand bit by bit.
Many parts that could be turned out in just a few seconds with a lathe in his previous life required Jin Feng to grind them by hand for several days.
In fact, on the ship to Yuguan City, Jin Feng took time to polish the rifle parts and tools, but it was not until today that he finally ground out all the parts of the rifle and successfully assembled it.
Not only did it take a lot of time, but the precision of hand-milled parts was far inferior to that of lathes, so Jin Feng was not sure whether he could hit the target.
Before Jin Feng could find the bullet hole in the telescope, he heard Qing Mulan shout loudly: "Hit, hit!"
"I saw it too!" The monkey also shouted: "Sir, you are so powerful, you can hit it from such a distance!"
"Where are the bullet holes?" Jin Feng asked.
He was staggered by the recoil of the rifle just now, and he did not see the moment the bullet hit the stone.
But Qing Mulan and Monkey kept looking at the stone with telescopes, so they saw the sparks from the bullet hitting the stone.
"The bullet hole is in the upper right corner, under the black spot!" the monkey replied.
Jin Feng looked along the location mentioned by the monkey, and sure enough he saw a small crater on the stone.
"Sir, this gun is so powerful. It can shoot so far!"
Qing Mulan took the rifle from Jin Feng's hand, held it in her arms and rubbed it carefully.
Han Feng's eyes also shone with surprise.
The main reason why Hai Dongqing is so difficult to deal with is that the falcon flies too high, and other weapons except the heavy crossbow cannot reach it.
Unfortunately, the firing speed of the heavy crossbow is still too slow, and the arrows are too large and heavy, making it easy for falcons to detect and avoid them. It is too difficult for the heavy crossbow to directly hit the falcons.
The shooting speed of muskets is much faster than that of heavy crossbows, and the iron sand is smaller, but the range is too short and cannot even be reached by the feathers of falcons.
The range of the rifle far exceeds that of the previous musket.
Han Feng knew exactly what this meant.
The red stone was more than two hundred feet away from where they were, and the bullets still left such obvious bullet marks on the stone, indicating that the red stone was far from the maximum range of this gun.
Such a long range is enough to hunt falcons!
No wonder the husband is unwilling to leave Zhuzhuanggou. It turns out that he has been prepared for it for a long time.
Thinking of this, Han Feng couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jin Feng with admiration.
But what surprised him was that Jin Feng's face was full of disappointment.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Han Feng asked quickly.
"Actually, it was the white patch I was aiming at just now." Jin Feng said with some frustration.
The white patch is located on the left side of the red stone, but the bullet hit the upper right position.
If the red stone hadn't been as big as a wall, Jin Feng might have missed the target!
When Monkey and the others heard what Jin Feng said, they all seemed to have been poured cold water on them and couldn't get excited anymore.
The falcon is just a small black dot in the sky. This error is indeed a bit too big.
"Sir, how about letting Ajuan try it?"
Zuo Feifei said: "She is the sister with the most accurate archery skills in our factory. She has been in the top three in the shooting competitions of two consecutive sports games!"
The implication was that Zuo Feifei felt that Jin Feng's marksmanship might not be very good.
Jin Feng didn't care at all. As for the so-called specialization in martial arts, his archery and marksmanship skills were indeed a bit unsatisfactory.
Within fifty meters, your archery skills are acceptable. Beyond fifty meters, whether you can hit or not depends entirely on luck.
Seeing Jin Feng nod, Qing Mulan quickly handed the rifle to the female soldier Ajuan behind Zuo Feifei.
Ajuan had long been curious about the rifle and quickly took it.www.81zw.????m
"This gun is different from the previous muskets. You don't need to fill the gunpowder and iron sand from the front. You have to put the bullets in from here."
Jin Feng stepped forward to explain to Ajuan the difference between a rifle and a flintlock gun, then took out another bullet from his pocket and placed it in the palm of his hand.
Qing Mulan, Han Feng and others also quickly gathered around and looked at Jin Feng's palm curiously.
The bullet was about as long as a finger, with a yellowish body and a pointed head.
"Sir, are these bullets made of brass?" the monkey asked hesitantly.
"Yes," Jin Feng nodded.
In fact, most of the domestic bullet casings in the previous life were made of copper-clad steel and deep-drawn carbon steel because they were cheaper. However, Xihewan currently does not have this technology. Jin Feng can only choose higher-cost ones, but
The bullet casing is made of brass with relatively simple craftsmanship.
Jin Feng often said before that fighting is about making money, but now Monkey really understands this sentence.
The most widely circulated currency in Dakang at this time was copper coins. Using brass to make bullet casings was just making money, wasn't it?
However, considering Jin Feng's current worth, this bit of brass is just a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning.
If you can shoot down a falcon, not to mention using brass to make the bullet casing, even if you use gold to make it, it is worth it.
After all, the cost of making a hot air balloon is not cheap, and it is very distressing to use it to die together with the falcons.
The biggest difference between back-loading rifles and previous flintlock rifles is the bullet filling method.
Jin Feng first demonstrated the loading process to Ajuan, and then began to explain to Ajuan how to use the scope.
The previous flintlock guns were smoothbore guns, without even rifling, and had no accuracy at all. They relied entirely on the area covered by the sprayed iron sand to kill the enemy.
Therefore, the sights on previous muskets were very rough.
The accuracy of a back-loading rifle is much better than that of a flintlock rifle, so Jin Feng carefully made a sight.
After explaining how to use the sight, Jin Feng asked: "Have you learned it?"
"I'll give it a try..." Ajuan replied shyly.
"Then let's try it first!" Jin Feng looked around, pointed at a flagpole outside the yard and said, "Let's hit that flagpole first!"
"No, no, no!" Ajuan waved her hands repeatedly in fear.
The flagpole hangs Jin Feng's handsome flag, which to some extent represents Jin Feng.
If the handsome flag is broken for no reason, it is very unlucky on the battlefield!
"It's okay, let's fight!" Jin Feng never believed in these things and said nonchalantly.
"I'd better hit the stone next to the flagpole."
Ajuan still didn't dare to shoot at the flagpole and pointed to a watermelon-sized stone next to the flagpole.
"It's up to you." Jin Feng pulled out the bullet and handed the rifle to Ajuan.
It has to be said that everyone's talents are different.
For example, Wan Heming is very talented in mechanics, while Ajuan's talent is in shooting.
When she first came into contact with a crossbow, she shot more accurately than others. Later, she joined the musketeers. She was also one of the first people to become familiar with muskets and shoot the most accurately.
It was precisely because of her outstanding marksmanship and archery skills that Zuo Feifei asked her to follow her to protect herself and Jin Feng.
After taking over the rifle, Ajuan's energy and energy seemed to be different, and her eyes became sharper.
