Working Prophet.

Chapter 500 It's Simple

Li Yu raised his dueling pistol, aimed at a big tree about five steps away, and pulled the trigger.

The next moment, the flint collided with the scythe, and sparks came out, which ignited the gunpowder in the primer tray, which in turn ignited the gunpowder in the gun barrel, spewing out flames!

The dueling pistol let out a terrifying roar, accompanied by a puff of white smoke, the bullets flew out of the gun chamber and hit the bark.

The sawdust splashed at the landing point and scattered all over the ground, and the lead bullet was deeply embedded in the tree trunk.

"The power is not bad." Li Yu said to Ge Lipeng, "It's just that the aim is a bit off. I originally aimed at a lower position."

"I didn't have time to carve the barrel of the gun." Gripen said, "Early gunsmiths used something called an Iowa rifle to pull the thread on the barrel, which was actually a wooden lathe.

"But at that time, the barrel of the gun was still made of iron. It would be more troublesome to use a steel pipe, so my suggestion is to wait for the enemy to get close before shooting."

"Good idea." Li Yu refilled the dueling pistol with bullets and gunpowder, and then handed it to Miss Rabbit with a dull face.

"Come and try it out, you can launch it by pressing the crescent-shaped mechanism below."

The female lord took over the flintlock gun, and subconsciously pointed the barrel at herself, wanting to see what secret was hidden inside that could make it make such a big noise.

In the end, Li Yu pushed the gun away and warned at the same time.

"At any time, you must not point the gun at yourself, or other people around you. In short, do not point the hand of judgment at anyone or anything except your opponent.

"This is a very, very dangerous weapon that can easily take a person's life. Don't wait until the tragedy happens to regret it."

Ilea looked at the little thing that was as exquisite as a work of art in her hand, and until now she still couldn't accept that it could have such a powerful lethality.

At this time, Ge Lipeng took out another pair of cotton armor and hung it on another tree.

Following Li Yu's example, Ilea raised the dueling pistol in her hand, took aim for a while, and then pulled the trigger.

As a result, the sudden recoil made her almost fail to grab the butt of the gun.

The muzzle of the gun was raised upwards, and the bullets scraped against the trunk and flew into the woods, where they disappeared.

The female lord coughed, choked by the white smoke.

"It's okay, take your time, it's normal to miss the target the first time, you can stand a little closer, then hold the gun with both hands, try to straighten your arms..."

Li Yu guided from the side, and then completed the third filling.

Ilea learned her lesson, took a deep breath, raised the Hand of Judgment in her hand again, and aimed at the position slightly lower than the cotton armor.

This time, the bullet finally hit its target.

Seeing this, the girl couldn't help raising her arms and cheering, and when she walked to the front with Li Yu and Ge Lipeng to check the damage caused by the dueling pistol, she found that the pair of cotton armor on the tree had been covered by a small "" "Stone" was pierced.

In other words, if someone came to compete with her wearing cotton armor, he would have been shot by this time.

And this is not the end, Ge Lipeng then took out a pair of leather armor, the tough cowhide also could not withstand the impact of lead bullets, and then the scale armor.

What the female lord didn't expect was that the scale armor made of iron sheets was helpless to hold the bullet, and a finger-thick hole appeared at the point of impact.

The last is the highlight of this round of testing, chain mail and plate armor.

Among them, the chain mail that Ge Lipeng found finally defended the glory of the armor and was not penetrated by the lead bullet.

The projectile hit the rivet just right, and eventually deformed badly and got stuck in the armor, but still left a shallow crater in the trunk behind.

This meant that although the bullet failed to penetrate the wearer's body, the terrifying impact it produced could still easily tear apart the wearer's muscles, and even break the wearer's ribs.

As for the plate armor, Ge Lipeng first put on a poor-quality plate armor bought from a small town on the road, and the plate armor was torn apart by bullets.

But after putting on the dwarf armor equipped by the Black Dog Guard and the guards of the Arias family, it could only leave a small hole on it.

Seeing this, Ge Lipeng felt a little regretful, "A smoothbore gun is not only inferior to a rifled gun in terms of shooting accuracy, but also has less muzzle kinetic energy than a rifled gun.

"If the opponent is wearing very powerful armor, try to attack his limbs, or the side, where the armor is thinner and easier to break."

The female lord held the dueling pistol in her hand, but now she had turned her worries into joy, and she was full of energy again, calling her a good guy.

She never thought that there would be such a small, powerful weapon in this world, its lethality surpassed that of a hand crossbow.

The most important thing is that the martial arts competition prohibits carrying hand crossbows, but it doesn't say that you can't carry the hand of judgment.

With this thing, Miss Rabbit instantly felt that she was doing well again, and could compete with other contestants.

But soon she thought of another question and asked Li Yudao, "This sacred artifact...can't the pre-stage ceremony be omitted? It seems that the time is a bit long."

"The loading of gunpowder and bullets cannot be omitted." Li Yu replied, "So you'd better finish this before the competition begins."

"But what if I miss?" the girl asked again.

"It's simple." Li Yu turned to the followers of the Shuangxiu Sect and said, "Where are the other guns you made?"

It took Ge Lipeng about a week to make the first gun, mainly because the tools were not very handy, and he also encountered some problems when making the gun for the first time.

As the saying goes, once you are born and you are familiar with it, you don't need to spend so long to build it again.

According to Ge Lipeng, in modern society, it would take about two days for a skilled gunsmith to make a flintlock gun. Of course, if you want to make the gun well, it may be as accurate as possible, and you may need to polish it. one year.

Li Yu didn't have high requirements for flintlock guns. Instead of pursuing lethality and accuracy, it is better to have a few more.

He had already considered the worry of the female lord. In the martial arts arena, flintlock guns are basically a one-shot deal. The further you go, the more you will encounter masters. It is impossible to give you time to reload.

This requires redundancy to ensure the victory of a battle and deal with possible risks, not limited to missing targets, but also misfiring or other accidents.

So Ge Lipeng took out two other dueling pistols and an axe.

"I don't need an ax." The female lord said, "I can't use this weapon."

"This is a flintlock." Seeing her waving her hand, Ge Lipeng explained, "It appeared on European battlefields from the 16th to the 18th centuries, and it can also fire lead bullets. "
