Due to the low supply due to the production complexity of Magic Breaking Bullets, Magic Guns' damage to incorporeal targets is relatively limited.
But the strategic layout does not need to consider dealing with demon lords and demon kings. Ghosts and other things have their own mages to deal with. It is not a big problem if the guns and guns have a single target.
Next, determine the level of gun-making technology exported to the outside world.
It is impossible to send foreign trade weapons intact. We must consider the situation of someone using such weapons against ourselves, so it must be a little bit worse.
In fact, just as Wengji West began to mass-produce magic crossbows, magic guns are not copied by anyone. It's just that the technical bottleneck of the gun is still slightly higher and the process is more complicated.
However, there are many processes, which does not mean that the imitation industry is complicated. Just like the pot camel machine can be made by a blacksmith, if the indicators are relaxed, the magic gun can also be made by hand.
The investigation was conducted through "Storm Industry", a general assembly plant in the foreign trade gun production chain.
Baofeng Industry is a company separated from Fenggu Machinery Manufacturing Factory. It only integrates foreign trade guns and has foreign trade qualifications. Foreigners can also come to them when queuing for purchases. They only need to regularly take a copy of the order to the administrative unit for review, and eliminate any problems. Friendly customer.
The testing of foreign trade guns is also carried out by Baofeng Industry, using the shooting range where troops are stationed in Fenggu Industrial Zone.
The imitation guns outside are considered competitive products for them, so it is appropriate for them to collect samples and test them, and the government can provide a slight subsidy.
After receiving the receipt message, Wang Qi and Li Xiang ran to the scene to take a look at the target practice.
The conclusion is a bit strange.
Foreign trade guns can be roughly divided into two systems: close-defense and hunting rifles.
Close-range defense is similar to a shotgun. Its characteristic is that the barrel is thick enough, and the projectiles are either single or packed with multiple spherical projectiles. The hit rate is very poor, and it can only guarantee that it can hit the target within twenty meters.
The shotgun is more like a self-produced magic rifle, with various strange changes in structure, projectile shape, etc. For example, there are two models, one completely eliminates the bolt, and the other has no magazine at all and can only be loaded by pulling the bolt.
However, even if the handmade gun is a shotgun, the shooting accuracy of the gun is also very poor. According to the test method of firing a few dozen rounds first to familiarize yourself with the feel, and then calculating the results, the five handmade shotguns can reach the range of 90% hit rate, which is in the 70s to one hundred meters.
This accuracy range is only for fixed targets, and moving targets will only be lower.
Seventy to one hundred meters, it seems not as good as a crossbow, but the comparison is not like that. The crossbow has to achieve a 90% hit rate, and the distance is not as good as these hand-made shotguns. The accurate strike range of the crossbow is thirty to sixty meters. Magic crossbows rarely break through eighty meters.
The concepts of precise strike range and killing range are different. If compared to the killing range, based on the standard of penetrating a five-millimeter steel plate, the distance of the magic crossbow is farther than that of a shotgun.
The crossbow arrow can dry penetrate a five-millimeter plate at a speed below the aerodynamic critical speed, which is tens of meters per second. The projectile cannot be temporarily equipped with an armor-piercing head. Even a specially designed armor-piercing projectile will require a greater speed to penetrate the same thickness of armor due to its smaller weight.
The two can only be said to be different choices. The hit rate of the crossbow is poor. The last 100 meters of the defense line may only be able to shoot for one or two rounds before being broken through. However, in exchange for better long-range damage, the pressure at close range may be smaller. The combination of shotgun and spray is stronger at close range, but not powerful enough at a distance.
From the analysis of weapon development in the southern area, the interaction between the locals and Gate 2 shows that the casualties caused by the Ice Crown Ice Demon are relatively limited. In addition, as a creature at the top of the food chain, its density and total number will be slightly different. Use the purchased foreign trade rifle to deal with it. Enough. The idea of imitation is to make up for the shortcomings of close-range firepower density.
Once you understand the external ecology, it will be easier to plan for technology diffusion.
Taking out an early version of the Caroline No. 1 rifle, it was almost adequate.
The projectiles fired by the No. 1 rifle are subsonic, and the high-precision distance is only 200 meters. The hit rate of 300 meters is simply unsatisfactory by current standards. For a gun with a caliber of 15 mm, the results are really average.
Speaking of which, the projectile speed of the imitation shotgun is a bit faster. However, a firearm is a systematic project. In addition to processing, it also plays a role in basic magic theory and ballistics. It is not just that the projectile exits at a high speed, it will be easy to use.
Imitation firearms are defective products caused by mismatched technology and knowledge and the inability to replicate the magic array of foreign trade firearms.
The No. 1 rifle and the Python Type 1 first-generation gun use magic technology before the update of magic principles. For those outside the country who have not systematically studied the kingdom's magic knowledge, it is easier to get started, and the efficiency and quality of the products can be good. At the same time, it can also prevent them from fighting with the foreign trade gun to the end.
Although there are two types of guns of the first generation, they cannot fire the Python type when shipped.
Caroline No. 1 and No. 2 are considered universal types. Among them, No. 2 also has the ability to fire continuously. It can be said to be the predecessor of the cat style. The Python type is a gun type that specializes in medium and long-range accuracy. It completely gave up its high-frequency shooting capability. It was only in the second type that it was put back into the three-shot burst mode, and the three-shot burst mode also limited the time interval.
In short, as the early models of the Python type spread out, it is easier for wild players to imitate sniper-type firearms. The third type is not so particular, because outsiders cannot understand the third generation gun when it is taken apart. The complexity and logic of the magic array are already very complicated. Difficult to restore with the naked eye.
Decide on a target and start arranging.
The total inventory of Caroline No. 1 rifles is less than 20,000. After such a long time, there are still some bad ones among them, and about 15,000 usable rifles can be made.
The Eastern District, Southern District, plus Ongji, can all get some.
There are mostly large lords in the eastern area, and Weng Ji also uses floating islands as units. One or two hundred guns are enough for one area as the basis for imitation. The loose lords in the southern area need more, except for the areas around Gate 2. , those closer to the kingdom need to be arranged according to friendliness and business capabilities.
There is no need to negotiate, just find an intermediary company to come to sell the product door-to-door, and a few structural diagrams are included.
The lords have the ability to imitate firearms. It will be difficult to deal with it after the Three Realms War. It is estimated that there will still be wars to fight. But judging from the current situation, the demons really want to cause trouble, so they can only comprehensively strengthen their weapons.
Preparations also need to be made for possible future conflicts.
Wang Qi convened a meeting of a group of people, including those from the military and the police system.
Among them, the police system has never had a special gun. It was replaced by the military and later used a cat-type gun.
But to be honest, the cat style is too powerful for the police, and it is easy to penetrate the wall with people. After the number of magic police increased, they no longer used guns very much.
There are certain similarities in the military's future needs for "human warfare."
A new series is needed specifically for hitting people. The caliber is smaller, and the penetration power does not need to be as exaggerated as "forced shield breaking".
After preliminary discussions, we reached a basic agreement on a firearm with a caliber less than eight millimeters and sufficient power, and the smaller the caliber, the better.
Then it will be handed over to the firearms research team of the institute to conduct preliminary feasibility studies.
Eight millimeters isn't the only option, or even a particularly good one.
Based on the 42-gram modified cat-type projectile shape, scaled down, the weight of the projectile corresponding to eight millimeters is 11.5 grams, that of six millimeters is 5.5 grams, and that of five millimeters is less than 4 grams.
Using 100 million rounds of bullets as a war base, the total weight of 42-gram projectiles is 4,200 tons. Calculating processing losses, more than 6,000 tons of steel are needed.
If the same 100 million rounds only have four grams, this number will shrink to one-tenth. As long as the target can be killed, the war cost will obviously be much smaller.
It's not a particularly urgent project, just let the firearms research team use it to train novices, and iterate a few times in the research institute to see the effect.
