676 What do you want a hammer for?
With a command, the target was raised, and the flintlock spearmen and the confiscating spearmen conducted live ammunition drills respectively. Emperor Chongzhen and others watched from beginning to end in the safety zone in the rear, and had an intuitive impression of all aspects of the two types of firearms.
The comparison result was actually a bit beyond Emperor Chongzhen's expectations. In terms of shooting accuracy, the combs are more accurate than the flintlock rifle. Zu Dashou's combs were basically three out of nine, or four out of nine, and some were six out of nine. However, although no one of Mao Yuanyi's flintlock riflemen was off the target, his grades were one level lower than those of the combstone rifles.
In Qi Jiguang's new book, there are requirements for shooting bird guns: nine shots at a time, sixth out of nine out of nine out of nine out of nine out of nine out of nine out of eight out of nine out of eight out of nine out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out of eight out
Mao Yuanyi's face looked a little bad. However, the firearm expert Bi Maokang analyzed the reason and said that the flintlock rifle's fire sickle is also the cover of the fire door, and a stronger hammer spring is needed to ensure sufficient impact strength. Therefore, its trigger force and pulling the hammer are more laborious than the flintlock rifle. Therefore, the force when pulling the trigger ultimately affects the accuracy of the flintlock rifle. This is a decision on firearms, so it is hard to say that the flintlock rifle soldiers are not well trained.
This explanation made Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and made Mao Yuanyi's face look a little better, and even made Li Dingguo, who was standing next to him, suddenly realize.
In every competition between the flintlock and the flintlock, the heads of both sides, Zu Dashou and Mao Yuanyi, would express their respective opinions, and then there was a professional interpretation of the ordnance expert Bi Maokang. Although it basically did not exceed his understanding for Emperor Chongzhen, it was a rare and precious lesson for Li Dingguo. This allowed him to have a comprehensive improvement in his understanding of firearms.
After all the tests are done, the conclusion is clear at a glance. Because the flintlock rifle does not have to worry that the lit flintlock will poke the gunpowder of teammates on the side, the flintlock rifle can stand closer without being separated by about one meter from each other like the flintlock rifle.
And this is the biggest advantage of the flintlock rifle. Even if the flintlock rifle has some shortcomings compared to the flintlock rifle, it is enough to ignore those shortcomings.
The generals present had practical experience. They were keenly aware that the form of war would likely change in the future. Just imagine that the lead bullets fired by rows of tight flintlock spearmen would inevitably cover their opponents like pouring rain. With such a density, the enemy would die when they came up, and the combs were impossible. Of course, this was just a firearm theory. On the real battlefield, it was naturally impossible to conquer the world with flintlock spears.
Emperor Chongzhen finally concluded: "It is obvious that although the flintlock rifle has only improved the fire device compared to the flintlock rifle, the advantage is very obvious. However, the fire silence rate of the flintlock rifle needs to be further reduced. While increasing the output of the flintlock rifle, Bi Qing also needs to further solve this problem."
The flintlock rifle has the disadvantages of high dumbness rate and delayed shooting after pulling the trigger, etc., but the dense flintlock rifle array can make up for this disadvantage. However, since there are shortcomings, it must be improved in the end.
Bi Maokang was naturally very happy with the final conclusion of the flintlock rifle. The fist products of the Military Weapon Bureau were finally recognized. He naturally agreed to Emperor Chongzhen's request.
This flintlock rifle has another advantage. Although Emperor Chongzhen didn't know if they knew it, he understood it in his heart. That is, the flintlock rifleman does not need to be like the archers in the new army. He must draw the elite of the border army to quickly form combat effectiveness. In the future, the Ming army can almost be transformed into flintlock riflemen in a short period of time. Of course, the output of the flintlock rifle must be kept up. Therefore, he specially mentioned the output of Bi Maokang.
Then, Emperor Chongzhen turned to Zu Dashou and Mao Yuanyi and ordered them to say, "The flintlock rifle weapon will indeed change the form of war, but how to change it and how to use the flintlock rifle array, you must seriously consider it; and more than that, you must also think about it again and again, what are the weaknesses of these flintlock rifle arrays? If we use it to deal with Jianlu in the future, what countermeasures might Jianlu take?"
Speaking of this, he increased his tone and emphasized: "There has never been the strongest spear, nor the strongest shield. Moreover, at any time, in any era, the most critical one is people. Remember, you must use the flintlock array well, but you cannot rely on the flintlock array, do you know?"
Zu Dashou and Mao Yuanyi were a little surprised when they heard this. They hurriedly bowed and listened quietly. After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, both of them replied sincerely: "I will follow the holy will!"
Even Bi Maokang, a technical official next to him, looked at Emperor Chongzhen in surprise. He had basically just discussed guns with the emperor before. At that time, he felt that the emperor was knowledgeable, and some words even made him, who had been immersed in military weapons for many years, refreshed him.
When he heard what the emperor said again, he couldn't believe his age. How old is he, he has such a steady attitude and has such a deep understanding of things. For a moment, he flashed through the idea that he was alive in his life at the age of his life.
When Emperor Chongzhen turned to look at Bi Maokang, Mao Yuanyi finally found an opportunity and knew what was going on. He hurriedly asked: "Can you take out the one brought by Lord Bi?"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the handsome guy Mao Yuanyi, and he was like a curious baby at this time. He knew that although he was impressed by the flintlock rifle, he was even more looking forward to it when he heard that there was such an improved flintlock rifle.
After the experiment, Zu Dashou, who was next to him, knew that this new type of firearm would definitely be given priority to the new army. While he was envious and jealous, he also paid attention to Bi Maokang curiously, not knowing what better weapon this adult would come up with.
Seeing Emperor Chongzhen nodding, Bi Maokang turned around and called the servant, went over and opened the box, took out the things inside.
When Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou saw each other, they couldn't help but look at each other. They were a little disbelief. After looking carefully, they found that the same was still the same. They were even more puzzled. What is the difference between this and the flintlock rifle just now? What is the improvement?
However, the sharp-eyed Mao Yuanyi soon discovered that there was a small wooden hammer in the box. But this made him even more confused. What should he do if he wanted a hammer?
Bi Maokang held the flintlock rifle like a treasure and responded to Mao Yuanyi with a smile: "This gun is only available under the guidance of His Majesty!"
