Make France Great Again

Looking at the target with a bullet hole left in the distance, Jerome Bonaparte's face was slightly embarrassed, because the bullet fired from Mauser's rear-loading rifle almost missed the target.

Wallevsky, who was standing on the side, did not feel embarrassed at all. He immediately applauded and flattered Jerome Bonaparte: "Okay! Your Majesty, good marksmanship!"

The old Mauser and his sons, who had reacted, also began to applaud, praising Jérôme Bonaparte's red-sunset marksmanship.

"Haha!" Jerome Bonaparte felt even more embarrassed.

So he handed a paper-packed fixed-loading bomb to Wallevsky, and said to Wallevsky with a kind-hearted look: "Minister Wallevsky, try it too!"

Wallevsky was stunned for a moment, and then took the paper-packaged fixed-loading ammunition and Mauser rear-loading gun that Jerome Bonaparte handed him.

As Wallevsky pulled away Mauser and loaded the gun, a plume of white smoke floated out of the barrel.

"Let's get started!" Jerome Bonaparte said sternly, and then added: "Wallevsky, I know your shooting ability, so you came to the lake with a miss!"

As soon as he said this, Warevsky immediately had a feeling of shooting himself in the foot.

Why did he have to boast just now, now the emperor will not allow him to miss the target.

Seeing that he couldn't get out of the way, Varevsky had to bite the bullet and put the paper-packed fixed-loading bullet into the barrel of the gun, then closed the barrel and started to aim at the target in the distance, while thinking in his mind about not missing the target. Under the circumstance, he scored even worse than the emperor.

And Jérôme Bonaparte exchanged his arms with old Mauser, "Mr. Mauser!"

"Your Majesty, what are your orders!" Old Mauser asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"That's right, Mr. Mauser just now I saw a piece of rubber on the firing pin of this Mauser rifle, and I was thinking about how to replace it with brass bullets. How should you ensure that the brass bullets can be smoothly drawn? "Jérôme Bonaparte asked old Mauser: "And I don't see the extraction mechanism on your rifle!"

After a moment of silence, old Mauser responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, this rifle does not have a shell extraction mechanism!"

"Speaking of which, this is a product that is completely shot for cardboard shells!" Jerome Bonaparte asked old Mauser again.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Old Mauser nodded and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Can you tell me why you didn't follow the design ideas I gave you?" Jerome Bonaparte asked old Mauser with a serious look.

"Your Majesty, it's not my father's fault!" Paul Mauser asked Jerome Bonaparte for sin. "It's all my fault!"

"Paul, I don't mean to ask for guilt!" Jerome Bonaparte immediately realized that there was something wrong with his attitude, he quickly corrected it and replied to Paul Mauser: "I mean, you are in Which one is in trouble?"

Paul Mauser told Jérôme Bonaparte that they had some difficulties with the metal cartridges.

Although it has been more than 20 years since the earliest appearance of metal fixed-loading bombs (the earliest in the 1830s), it was not really developed until the 1850s.

That is to say, the development time of the entire metal fixed-loading ammunition is only about 5 years, so there are many technical problems in the metal fixed-loading ammunition that need to be solved.

If the problem of metal fixed-loading ammunition is not solved, then even if the shell extraction mechanism is completed now, major adjustments will be required in the later stage.

Instead, it's better to test other performance first.

Wait until the metal fixed-loading bomb is completely formed, and then think about the shell extraction mechanism.

And the addition of the magazine has to wait until the extraction mechanism is resolved, and then solve it.

"I see!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and responded to Paul Mauser.

At this moment, a gunshot came, and Jerome Bonaparte shifted his attention from the Mausers to the target.

I saw another small black spot on the target more than 200 meters away from Jérôme Bonaparte, and the position of the black spot was also on the edge of the target.

"Your Majesty!" Varewski let out a sigh of relief as he put down the Mauser rear-loading gun in his hand.

"Not bad! Not bad!" Jerome Bonaparte glanced at the sweat on Wallevsky's forehead and pointed out: "It's really hard for you!"

"It's not hard! It's not hard!" Wallevsky showed a slightly embarrassed smile on his face. This shot really cost him too much energy. It can be said to be the hardest shot ever!

"Okay! Wipe it off! The sweat is about to drip down your chin!" Jerome Bonaparte said sternly, then took the rifle in Wallevsky's hand.

Just as Jerome Bonaparte was about to test a shot, the man sent to get the brass bullet appeared and handed the bullet to old Mauser.

"Your Majesty, the bullets are coming!" Old Mauser handed some brass bullets to Jerome Bonaparte.

Relying on the brass bullet with a diameter of about 11mm in his hand (after the smokeless powder was not produced, the diameter of the bullet was generally larger than that of the smokeless powder), Jerome Bonaparte hesitated for a moment, and then put the yellow The copper bullet was returned to old Mauser.

"Your Majesty, are you not going to continue the experiment?" Old Mauser asked Jerome Bonaparte suspiciously.

"I'll wait for you to finish making the shell extraction mechanism, and then I'll test it!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to the old Mauser, "The focus of the test now is the range of the rifle!"

Then, Jerome Bonaparte ordered Wallevsky to call in the veterans who were patrolling the industrial park.

The veterans first saluted Jerome Bonaparte, and then asked Jerome Bonaparte what he ordered.

Jerome Bonaparte randomly assigned a person, and handed him the Mauser rear-loading gun and three paper-packed cartridges.

"Now, I want you to shoot at the targets at about 300, 400 and 500 meters respectively!" Jerome Bonaparte pointed to the distant target and ordered the veteran.

"Your Majesty, take a good look at it! Back then, so did I..." The old soldier patted his chest and boasted to Jerome Bonaparte.

Then the veteran walked to a place about 300 meters, opened the paper package in his hand, and wanted to pour it into the barrel of the gun.

"Wait a minute!" Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly stopped his heartbeat.

Under the doubtful gaze of the veteran, Jerome Bonaparte pointed to the breech of the Mauser rifle and said to the veteran: "This type of rifle does not need a paper casing, it just needs to be stuffed into the rifle as a whole. !

"

"Your Majesty, is this a breech gun?" the veteran asked Jerome Bonaparte with wide eyes.

"Yes!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded. "What's the matter! Is there any difficulty?"

"No, no!" The veteran shook his head to Jerome Bonaparte, and then couldn't help reminding: "Your Majesty, I heard that the performance of the rear-mounted gun is far inferior to the front-mounted gun!"

"It depends on which aspect of performance you are talking about!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to the veteran with a smile, "If you only evaluate the power and range, the current rear-mounted guns really cannot be compared with the front-mounted guns! ( In 1866, the Xia Saibo rifle had the same range as the Miguel gun, and its power was slightly inferior to the Mignet gun)

But you're talking about rate of fire and other things, a rear-loading gun is far better than a front-loading one.

And the potential of the rear-loading gun is far greater than the front-loading! "

"However, I remember my previous commander said! He would rather die than use a rear-loading gun!" the veteran said to Jerome Bonaparte again.

Indeed, under the premise that the rear-loading gun has not experienced actual combat (Dreiser also lost face in Olmuz), it is difficult for the conservative forces in the army to let a rice that has experienced the test of the Crimean War. Nirvana Rifle completely withdraws from the stage!

"It's up to them!" Jerome Bonaparte responded firmly.

As long as the technology of metal fixed-loading ammunition and Mauser rifles are all mature, he will implement it to the whole army.

Don't let anyone stop him!

The veteran is not talking, UU reading www. uukanshu.com started stuffing bullets into the breech.

After a while, gunshots rang out, and Jerome Bonaparte immediately used the telescope to observe.

Through the telescope, Jerome Bonaparte found that there was another bullet hole on the target more than 300 meters away from him, and the bullet hole was very close to the bullseye.

"Very good!" Jerome Bonaparte patted the veteran on the shoulder, "You were indeed a good player in the army before!"

The veteran smiled and ran to the target 400 meters away for a second shot.

This time the shooting was obviously not as good as the last time, the bullet hole was already very close to the edge of the target.

When the veteran ran more than 500 meters away from the target, Jerome Bonaparte immediately ordered him to change the target. The veteran was not shooting the target, but the big tree behind the target, which was much easier to shoot than the target.

"This is no problem!" The veteran raised his gun again, and soon there was also an additional bullet hole in the tree.

"Go on!" Jerome Bonaparte ordered the veteran to retreat to 600 meters, this time the bullet hole was on the edge of the tree.

A surprised look appeared on the veteran's face. Having used the Miguel, he understood that the range was almost the same as that of the Mignet.

This also means that this rear-loading gun can completely replace the ecological niche of the Miner gun, and his reload speed is faster than the Miner gun.

"Very good!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, then said to the veteran: "You can leave now!"

The veteran handed the Mauser's rear-loading gun to Jerome Bonaparte and left, and Jerome Bonaparte said to the old Mauser: "Mr. Mauser, to be honest, your rifle has been fully capable of To the point of replacing the Mignet rifle, I really have a hard time believing that you can make such a perfect piece in such a short period of time!"
