//.lingdiankans// Shang Yi also nodded and asked, "How much is the cost of a musket like Mr. Sun?"
Sun Heding said a little embarrassedly: "It's almost doubled compared to the improved electric gun."
Shang Yi was also shocked when he heard this. Isn’t it equivalent to ten flintlock rifles? Now the actual cost of a flintlock rifle is about fifteen taels of silver, which means that such a rear-filled rifle is actually
I have reached %% and now my current financial situation is good, but if I have to assemble these two rifles on a large scale, it is probably going to cause the country to go bankrupt, so I said: "Is it so expensive?"
Sun Heding said: "If you report to the prince, the cost of this kind of musket will not exceed 30 taels, but it is extremely troublesome to manufacture it. If all the musket workshops in Hangzhou Arsenal are used to produce these two muskets, the monthly output will probably not exceed
Eight hundred pieces
Shang Yi nodded. This is another important reason why the early stages of bullet-filling rifles were not popular. It is difficult to manufacture on a large scale. Only when the metal manufacturing process develops can it be produced in large quantities.
But although these two guns still have many shortcomings, it is not easy for the arsenal to do this step. After all, the rear-filled rifle that can be used on a large scale on the battlefield has to wait for two in another time and space.
It will only appear in a hundred years
Of course, there is another important reason why you can make such a level of post-filling rifle. Shang Yi first pounded the thunder mercury and fire hat. In another time and space, these two inventions were in the development of post-filling rifle.
It is crucial, so if you continue to develop in this direction, it may not take 50 years to build a truly practical post-filling rifle.
So Shang Yi also said to Sun Heding: "Mr. Sun, you have done a good job. After that, the loading muskets cannot be made in one go. If these two muskets are used as the basis, they will be gradually improved. One day, they will be made.
A better gun came," he paused and said, "And even now these two rifles are not without advantages. Although they can only be equipped in small quantities, they can still play a big role if they are used well on the battlefield."
Sun Heding was also very excited when he heard this: "Don't worry, we will work hard to make a better rifle."
Shang Yi also smiled and said, "Come on, let's take a look at the continuous shooting."
In fact, the first generation of machine guns. After guns and cannons replaced traditional swords, bows and arrows and became the main weapons on the battlefield, countries are also pursuing more lethal weapons, but there are two ways to increase the killing of weapons.
When the enemy can't hit you, the second is to speed up the rate of fire. In the same time, it will shoot more bullets than the enemy in the same time, so various inventions of continuous guns have begun to be made.
However, before the emergence of Markbi machine guns, the so-called first-generation machine guns or continuous guns, were actually multi-barrel barrel organ guns, but the disadvantages of the organ guns were also very obvious, the weight of the one is too heavy, one hundred, one hundred
The weight of the organ gun of the pipe is almost equal to that of a medium-sized cannon that must be placed on the gun cart before it can be operated. The second is that the speed of filling the bullet is too slow and it is basically equivalent to making soy sauce after shooting once.
The Chinese army has equipped many organ guns, but they will only be used when the battle is at its most important point, and the principle of the organ gun is very simple. Shang Yi received the information that the Qing court has begun to imitate, so it is necessary to create more
For advanced continuous guns
Of course, the current gun fire is not studied by the arsenal itself, and Shang Yi provided the drawings and design ideas. Then Sun Heding led the researchers of the arsenal to repeatedly experiment. In fact, Shang Yi provided a total of five drawings for the multi-tube gun fire fire fire fire. However, because the current situation is that the
Only three technical reasons have been made
At this time, Sun Heding had asked employees to lift three continuous guns from a carriage and put them on the ground to start assembling the three continuous guns. There was a round magazine behind the barrel and loaded them with different numbers.
The small gun barrel is supported on the ground with a four-legged bracket and a rocker behind the cartridge
This continuous-firing gun is called a defense gun in another time and space. In 1718, the British James Barker invented a rotating continuous-firing gun. The principle of shooting is similar to that of a revolver. It is similar to that of a revolver. It is equipped with a small metal tube in each hole in the magazine.
The medium-loaded paper shell fixed-load bullets use the rocker behind the magazine to turn each small metal tube to the barrel positioning, and then fire the bullets one by one. Then, the magazine can be taken down and loaded with another magazine to continue shooting.
This design is actually very advanced. The idea far exceeds contemporary technology. It also inspires the later invention of continuous guns. After the defense gun, most continuous guns were arranged in a circle.
The shape is designed to rotate around the axis to achieve the destination of wheel forwarding
However, the defense rifle invented by Buck was a six-barrel wheel. In order to strengthen the power of the defense rifle, the arsenal designed six-barrel, nine-barrel, twelve-barrel, and three-barrels. The number of holes in the three-barrel wheel magazines is also expanded together. The amount of the ammunition compartment can be installed.
The ammunition volume can be doubled and the rate of fire can be increased
After all three defense guns were installed, the time-firing began. In three minutes, the three defense guns were shot very smoothly. Six-barrel defense guns shot 155 times, nine-barrel defense guns shot 188 times, and ten times
The number of shots of the second-tube defense gun reached 217 times and reached more than 70 times per minute.
However, since the defense gun is a rear-filled ammunition type, the range is not far, which is only about forty or fifty meters shorter than the organ. However, as long as you are equipped with enough ammunition guns, you can continuously fire this way. This is comparable to the organ.
The gun is much stronger, and because the defense gun only has one main barrel, it is much lighter than the organ machine and can be moved by one person and the cost is much lower than the organ machine.
Duan Peng and others also looked at it and their eyes were glowing. After the test was finished, Duan Peng said excitedly: "This kind of continuous shooting gun is too powerful. It can completely replace the organ gun currently used."
He Chong also said: "Yes, if there are ten such continuous guns in a regiment, it can completely fight against the attack of 30,000 people."
Shang Yi also nodded repeatedly and said, "It's not bad, this kind of gun is really good."
Sun Heding was also very happy to hear this and said, "Your Majesty, please look at the second type of continuous shooting."
At this time, the employees of the arsenal had installed the second type of continuous gun. This type of continuous gun looked like an artillery with a thick barrel and was pushed on a cannon truck and three times.
Duan Peng couldn't help but say curiously: "Isn't this a cannon? What is it called a continuous gun?"
Shang Yi smiled and said, "You go over and take a closer look."
After hearing this, Duan Peng immediately came to the gun-like gun-firing gun, and then he found that the gun barrel was a large cylinder with dozens of gun barrels lined up like honeycombs. Duan Peng realized that it was actually a multi-tube company.
Fire a gun
The name of this gun was called the Mitleuris gun. In 1851, Captain Farkenhampus, Belgium, invented an improved discharge gun. Later, he was carried out by his compatriot Joseph Montigni, a famous ordnance designer in Belgium. The improvement was adopted by Napoleon III of France at that time, later the word "Mitreus" became the term for French machine guns.
The Mitliuris gun is to cast thirty-seven barrels into a round tube. The bullet loading tool is a steel plate with thirty-seven circular holes. Each circular hole is inserted into the corresponding position of each bullet. A barrel firing mechanism is driven by a handle and rotates the handle clockwise. All thirty-seven rounds of bullets will be shot in one second. Then the bullet will be pulled out and the steel plate will be replaced. You can continue to fire.
If the shooter wants to, he can also control the speed of the shake handle and let each barrel fire at any speed in turn. According to the records at that time, the average rate of fire of a skilled Mitliuris gun operation group is twelve times per minute Volleys are four hundred and forty-four bullets. Of course, this is just a theoretical number. In actual practice, it is far from reaching this level.
However, because the Mitliuris gun looks like a small cannon and has wheels, the French army did not use it as an infantry support weapon in the Franco-Prussian War, but mostly it was used as an artillery. The effect was only very good in a few examples of supporting infantry. It was replaced by the Gatling gun after the Franco-Prussian War and Belgium also sold it to China at that time, but China did not buy it.
However, because the production process of the Mitliuris gun is too complicated, it also requires higher accuracy in the alignment of the bullet loading steel plate and barrel, so the probability of failure is greater. There is only one in the test shot. The Mitliuris gun was successfully fired within three minutes. It was stuck in both gates, but the Mitliuris gun was successfully fired. Its thirteen bullets were loaded with steel plates in three minutes. A staggering 150 rounds in a minute. Although the range is similar to that of a defensive gun, the rate of fire is almost twice that of a defensive gun, so the power is even greater.
Duan Peng, He Chong, Zhang Dajiang and others were also stunned for a while before Duan Peng said: "If it weren't for the stuck, this kind of gunfire would be terrible."
Shang Yi also nodded. In this era, the Mitliuris gun is indeed the most terrifying weapon. However, it seems that the current craftsmanship level is still a certain distance from the requirements of this gun. It is estimated that it is still difficult to popularize on a large scale. The use of the troops needs further improvement
