Release that Witch Chapter 474: Killing Machine

Two days after the plenary session, Iron Axe was again instructed to test fire a new weapon.

Because northwest side may be subject to Evil Beast attacks at any time, the new shooting range is set on the opposite side of Scarlet Water River. When Iron Axe arrived, the prince's personal guard had surrounded the vacant lot with hemp rope and red flags, and set up on both ends of the steel bridge A sentry card was banned from passing by unrelated personnel.

Obviously, His Highness attaches great importance to this test of weapon.

Walking quickly in the snow of varying depths and looking at the friendly eyes the guards had thrown at him, Iron Axe couldn't help thinking of the scene when he first participated in the firearms test firing. At that time, he was just an unknown foreigner Sandpeople. The Greycastle people always showed doubt and vigilance to him, even if they had lived in small town for five years, they moved the surrounding hunter with the exquisite Archery, but it was out of date. District, no one would look at him more.

He originally thought that he would live in seclusion in this barren land as hunter. He either died on the bed or died under the claws of Evil Beast or prey. His Highness did not expect that he would be Sandpeople. I also let myself see the power of Skyfire and Thunder. The next change was so fast that he was dizzying. From the formation of the militia team to fight Evil Beast to the establishment of Border Town First Army, he jumped from the hunter team Captain to become the First Army commander. What is even more surprising is that because of His Highness's attitude towards witch, he also met the heirs of Brave Sand Clan, Drow Silvermoon, again in small town, and made up for his greatest regret in this life. For this trust and appreciation, as well as compensation for their own destiny, Iron Axe has already vowed in bottom of heart to dedicate everything to this new owner.

When approaching the center of the test field, Iron Axe saw His Highness Roland. To his surprise, in addition to His Highness and Chief Knight, there were several Sleeping Island witch.

"Her Royal Highness, Iron Axe will report to you!" He took two steps forward and saluted the prince.

The latter nodded, "Since everyone is here, we can start." He sent two long guns to the hands of Iron Axe and Carter. "This is one of my newly developed weapon, and it is still in trial production in model. Stage, the number is limited, try it in turns. "

Iron Axe carefully reviewed the new gun -- in its hand, its shape is very similar to revolving rifle, the only difference is in the loading part: the new gun does not have a bomb nest.

He froze. Does this gun need to be filled from the front of the barrel like the earliest flintlock?

"Its name is bolt action rifle," fortunately His Highness quickly explained, "The bullet uses the latest smoke-free double-based propellant, the caliber is 8 mm, although it is lower than the 10 mm revolving rifle, but it is more powerful. "He turned the gun over," Ammunition is inserted from the front of the trigger, and each bullet can be inserted into five rounds, but it cannot be fired continuously like revolving rifle, and it requires manual withdrawal and loading. "

According to the demonstration of His Highness the Prince, Iron Axe quickly understood the operation method of the new rifle, and raised the gun to test shot a new bullet --. The strength of the new rifle is quite strong. Every time he pulls the trigger, he can feel the stock of the gun. The impact on the shoulder, and the sound is much louder than revolver.

After the five shots were fired, he noticed that there was almost no smoke in front of the muzzle. If it was replaced with an old-fashioned rifle, the smoke emitted by the five bullets would be enough to cover the sight. This is probably the credit of His Highness's "smoke-free ammunition". However, the gun itself is not unique. Compared with the huge gap between revolver and flintlock rifle, the new rifle does not say no progress, Iron Axe even thinks it is not as good revolver. The most obvious thing is that the rate of fire has slowed.

Compared to the former that can be fired continuously after aiming at the target, the new gun is extremely inconvenient when standing and shooting, and the gun body has to be re-targeted after manually firing. This process is much faster than firing a gun, but it requires When suppressing the enemy -- in a short period of time, such as when clearing the Longsong Stronghold rebellion noble, a close encounter broke out on the street corner or inside the house, the new rifle is far less useful than revolver.

After Iron Axe talked about his test firing experience in 151, Carter expressed the same opinion.

Prince nodded, "It's not as convenient as revolver, but the advantages are also very obvious. Andrea, let's demonstrate it," he put a rifle into the hands of witch, "remember to use the ability to shoot."

"Yeah hum," blonde witch took the gun and was skilled at pulling the bolt loading. I can see that this is not the first time she touched this weapon. "Look!"

With the three booming gunshots, Iron Axe was surprised to find that the three wooden targets placed at the farthest point fell down in sequence. The -- bullet not only hit a target the size of a nail, but also hit the target. The lower pole.

Know that they are at least 400 meters away from the target!

"His Royal Highness, this is ..." Carter did not dare to channel.

"The branching ability of Andrea allows her to accurately hit the target, regardless of whether the weapon in her hand is a bow or a gun," said Wang Zixiao, "but it does not directly act on the crossbow or bullet, but is accurate for the performance of weapon. Mastering -- In other words, if you throw a stone by yourself, you can only hit a target of about ten meters, and if it is a bird that is thrown out, it is likely that you will miss nothing. "

"Do you mean ... ordinary people can reach this level as long as they are trained?"

"Yes, this is the biggest advantage of bolt action rifle. It will not leak air because of the gap between the bomb nest and the barrel, which will greatly improve the range and accuracy." Roland nodded, "When paired with a sight Later, even in the hands of ordinary soldiers, they can accurately kill enemies around 400-500 meters, and the precise shooting distance of revolver is less than 100 meters. "

Iron Axe immediately understood the terrible aspects of this weapon. Most people will not beware of sneak attacks launched from this distance. As long as they hide in residential houses or highlands, they can easily take the life of important target. If it is If Lady Nightingale holds, almost no one can guard against bullets from the corner.

"Your Highness, you said you would give me a hand when waiting for mass production," Andrea covered his mouth.

"Of course," Roland retracted the two rifles, walked to the other side, and uncovered a bulging cloth. "In fact, bolt action rifle is just an appetizer before testing. This is the focus of today's test fire. "

When weapon covered under sackcloth revealed its real body, Iron Axe instantly liked its --. Compared to a rifle made with a wooden handle and iron tube, this new firearms is completely black, as if the whole body is made of metal. The volume is also much larger. With the triangular bracket below, it is almost half a person tall. long barrel has half the thickness of the wrist, and the bright bullets are densely hung on a cloth belt and connected to Large receiver. No matter its shape or posture, it is completely different from the previous weapon.
