In this era when silenced weapons have not yet been used on a large scale, the crossbow can be said to be the best "sentinel" weapon.
The short crossbow developed by the Equipment Section of the Intelligence Office of the Metropolitan Government is in the shape of a pistol and is relatively compact. In addition to ordinary crossbow arrows, there is also a crossbow arrow specially used for assassination. The arrow head is hollow and is pre-loaded with tetrodotoxin extraction. A mixture of sodium kaempferol and kaempferol.
After hitting the target and piercing into the body, the mixture will be automatically injected due to the principle of negative pressure. Unless the hit is on limbs such as hands and feet, a hit on the torso can kill someone in just a few seconds.
Before launching, the aluminum alloy protective cover on the arrow head was removed. The sharp arrow head reflected the cold light under the bright moonlight.
Because of the negative pressure principle, it does not matter even if the user is accidentally scratched by the arrow head, which can be said to greatly improve safety.
Zhou Changfeng nodded, clenched his fist and waved, Wang Mingfa and the Li brothers fired at the same time, and three crossbow arrows shot through the air.
"咻咻咻——"
"ah!"
The subconscious shouts of several people were neither too loud nor too small, but they did not attract anyone's attention. There was so much noise in the nearby barracks, how could the Dutch and Indian soldiers who were having a good time hearing it?
The two people who were dozing on the ground struggled to get up, but there was no movement after a few seconds; while the standing recruit was crawling on the ground while shouting hard, and finally did not move after climbing four or five meters. .
Zhou Changfeng was always holding a .22-caliber pistol, with a homemade simple silencer nearly half the length of a bottle of mineral water installed on the muzzle.
.22LR rimfire bullet, also called 5.6mm sporting bullet, has a long history and is the most widely used bullet in the world. It is often used for hunting. It is characterized by three lows - low power, low noise and low price.
On the American continent, the .22LR with the most fatalities is precisely the kinetic energy of just over 100 joules. More than 70% of shootings are caused by it, firstly because of its flooding and secondly because of its low sound.
Zhou Changfeng's self-made muffler is very simple. It is just two tubes rolled from iron sheets, one thick and one thin. The thin tube has more than a dozen small holes. Then the thin tube is put into the thick tube and welded together, and the mouth of the tube is covered with a piece. Rubber leather with cross cuts.
In principle, this is a combination of an expansion muffler and a sealed muffler, but the homemade thing is very rough and crude. The muffler effect of this thing is not very good. It can only be said to be better than nothing.
However, he specially selected .22 reduced-charge ammunition for the pistol. The muzzle velocity of the muzzle is lower than the speed of sound, which directly reduces a major source of noise-the three major noises of firearm shooting are: first, gunpowder deflagration, second, sonic boom when the bullet breaks the sound barrier, and third It's a mechanical collision when recoiling.
As far as actual testing is concerned, the noise of this pistol when fired is already very small, and it will make the gunshot very strange. In Shen Yu's words, it sounds like a loud fart.
But for Zhou Changfeng, this thing is just an insurance policy and should be used as little as possible unless the crossbow arrow fails.
The five people immediately stepped forward. Wang Mingfa tried to push it and found that the door of the armory was not locked. This made Xu Qinglan, who was about to show off his skills, speechless.
Zhou Changfeng walked in cautiously with a gun, and found that there was a two-meter-high barbed wire fence inside, and there was a lock on the fence door. At the same time, a Dutch sergeant was sleeping on the table in front of the door, drooling on the mat. An account book with a face on it.
So that's the case, no wonder the door was unlocked.
"Have a good trip in my dream." Zhou Changfeng said in his heart, then he pulled out his saber and stabbed it into the hollow cartilage under the back of the Dutch sergeant's head.
Stir it, pull it out, and wipe it on the unlucky guy's clothes.
Later, the remaining people dragged the three corpses on the ground in, while Xu Qinglan was unlocking the door.
This Dutch sergeant didn't have the key to the fence! Everyone was very sorry, but Xu Qinglan was happy that she finally had a place to use.
In movies and TV shows, the story of inserting a wire into a keyhole and fidgeting twice to unlock it has now become a reality. Zhou Changfeng thought he would have to fiddle with it for more than ten seconds, but it took just one breath for the wire to be inserted and the lock was unlocked. opened? !
But just when Zhou Changfeng wanted to open the door, he was grabbed by Xu Qinglan.
Zhou Changfeng, who was puzzled, turned his head and saw him pointing to the side - there was an inconspicuous little knife switch on the wall next to the dead Dutch sergeant?
This is actually a security measure. The switch is normally on and the power supply is always supplying power.
If the fence door is pushed open in this case, the circuit will be connected and the alarm bell will sound; therefore, every time before opening the door, you must turn off the switch and cut off the power supply.
Because this thing is inconspicuous, inexperienced thieves often ignore it due to nervousness and excitement, so they are likely to fall on it.
Xu Qinglan had seen this kind of design before when she went to a branch of Daming Jiuzhou Bank for "expertise", and this time she immediately remembered it.
Good guy, there is a rough and a fine thing, right? I almost stumbled.
With no danger, he opened the fence door and entered. The huge warehouse was divided into more than a dozen partitions, where different weapons and ammunition were stored.
Steyr M95 "Hambregg" bolt-action rifle, produced by the Austrian Steyr company, with a caliber of 6.5mm, which is the standard equipment of the Dutch and Dutch Indian armies.
In addition, there are Browning M1910 pistols, Lewis M1915 light machine guns changed to 6.5mm caliber, Brand M1927 81mm mortars, Browning M1921 12.7mm heavy machine guns, etc.
The French Brande series mortars are very cost-effective, which is why so many countries choose them unanimously.
As for the M1921 heavy machine gun, this is actually the predecessor of the M2 heavy machine gun. It is still water-cooled, but overall there is not much difference. Lao Ganma is still Lao Ganma and is trustworthy.
"A heavy machine gun, a mortar, and two rifles for Guo Shenggen and Qiao Yang." Zhou Changfeng ordered in a low voice.
Everyone packed up. Everyone was carrying hundreds of kilograms of weight, so they couldn't take away much ammunition. In the end, they were panting from exhaustion and reluctantly took with them 350 rounds of 12.7㎜ bullets and six rounds of 81㎜ mortar shells.
The 60mm mortar in the Brand series was finalized last year. The Dutch are obviously not as active as the Ming Dynasty in this regard, so they have not yet equipped it. So now everyone can only work hard to carry the heavy 81mm mortar. .
Before leaving, Zhou Changfeng looked at the military camp garage not far away and suddenly had a strange idea.
If it is not necessary, do not add entities? Should we follow Occam's razor now?
After a short period of thinking and weighing, he made a decision.
"Xu Qinglan, you will drive to the scheduled meeting point later, hand over the weapons to them, and then tell them..."
"Ah? Sir Zhou, this..."
"Go quickly!"
After Xu Qinglan left in the truck, Zhou Changfeng took the other three people back to the Taddeo military camp.
It was already past midnight, and the Dutch and Indian soldiers who had been playing around all night were tired, so the noise in the military camp gradually subsided.
There is a parking lot to the south of the camp with about thirty trucks and ten motorcycles, and there is a garage next to it, with several armored vehicles and tanks parked inside.
