Chapter 960 Swordsman? cannon fodder!
Anhil couldn’t wait to pick up this heavy crossbow, which was just named “Ye Heavy Crossbow [Famine]” (hereinafter referred to as “Famine”).
After checking to confirm that the lower chamber and magazine of the crossbow were both empty, he crouched down and made an aiming motion, and then pulled the trigger towards the empty space to test the feel.
“The center of gravity of the crossbow body is very stable and it feels great in the hand.”
After giving this comment, Ancil began to carry out various tactical actions.
Including running, jumping, rolling, quick reloading, sliding, sliding shoveling, etc.
During the process, he pointed out some subtle awkwardnesses, such as the end of the grip that would have some impact on elbow movements when quickly changing ammunition.
The leader of the second phase team was waiting aside with tools, and made fine adjustments immediately whenever problems arose.
Different from weapons such as the Great Sword and Taito, the ballista requires high precision.
Therefore, many parts have room for movement and adjustment. The leader of the second-phase regiment got started personally and quickly adjusted the heavy crossbow to a state that perfectly suited Ancier himself.
“I’ll go to the training ground and give it a try!” Anhil, who was eager to try, put [Famine] behind him and prepared to walk out.
The leader of the second phase of the regiment stopped him, "Wait a minute, I will go with you. There is something different about this heavy crossbow. It needs special ammunition."
How you use it may also be different from your usual habits. "
Anhir nodded.
When the old craftsman introduced the internal structure of this heavy crossbow, he had already noticed something strange.
As for the usage method being different from what you are used to, is this also a problem?
Haha, people who don’t even have the ability to adapt to new weapons are not worthy of being shooters.
The leader of the second phase regiment took off his protective dragon skin gloves and apron, walked to the corner of the processing room, and brought out two extremely large ammunition boxes. "Let's go! There are new diffusion bombs here, which are super powerful." Yo.
I will tell you the blending method later. If you have the chance, remember to collect more materials. "
Gordon and Ancil hurriedly stepped forward, each took an ammunition box, and then followed the leader of the second phase of the regiment out of the processing room.
Along the way, they received a lot of looks and greetings, most of which were directed at the leader of the second phase of the group.
This old craftsman rarely leaves the processing room on weekdays, so everyone is a little surprised.
On the way, we chatted about topics such as "When will the waterwheel be built?" Not long after, the group arrived at the training ground near the Star Stronghold.
Putting down the extra heavy new ammunition box, Gordon looked a little strange.
I always feel that the gale will be more troublesome in the future?
The leader of the second phase of the regiment waved to Ancier and took [Famine] over. “This heavy crossbow has two firing modes. One is naturally the most commonly used direct firing mode. I won’t talk nonsense about this.
There is also a curved shot, which is used to launch this special diffusion bomb. "
“Current shooting?” Hayata was a little curious. In her impression, only hunting bows could perform curved shooting.
So can a ballista?
Zhupa explained in a low voice: "When we fought the Thunder Dragon in Yanhuo Village, the method of firing the dragon-breaking cannon was also to shoot meow in a straight direction.
The advantage of curved fire is that it can fire extremely heavy ammunition, but the disadvantage is that the range is not far enough and the landing point is not so accurate. "
“That’s right.”
The leader of the second phase of the regiment smiled and opened an ammunition box. There were several rows of large crossbow shells with unique shapes placed in the cushioning material.
Most of the conventional crossbow projectiles are only palm-sized, and most of them are streamlined or pointed.
This kind of diffusion bomb is as long as a small arm, the diameter of the projectile is seven or eight centimeters, and the shape of the projectile is even more special.
The missile body is generally cylindrical, made up of multiple small balls. The warhead is round, but the tail is tapered, and several stabilizing fins are installed.
Ancier picked up one and looked at it repeatedly, "Because it is a curved shot, the kinetic energy damage is not important, so it is designed with a round head to increase the charge amount?"
As he spoke, he weighed the special diffusion bomb again, "This crossbow bomb weighs almost five kilograms, right? It is completely different from the conventional diffusion bomb.
The leader of the second phase regiment bared his teeth and said with a smile: "That's right, so this kind of crossbow bullet cannot be fired directly, otherwise the chamber pressure and recoil will be unacceptably high.
Just like the kind of supernova you mentioned, there is no way to launch continuously, right? This kind of diffusion bomb will do. This is the benefit of deflection! ” ˜ ˜ murmured to Pig Chop, “How high is the charge on this thing? It feels like the power of one shot is as powerful as a barrel of explosive bombs. "
The leader of the second group’s smile became a little dangerous, “You’ll know if you try it?”
As he spoke, he loaded three diffusion bombs into the huge magazine at the rear of the [Famine] heavy crossbow.
Then he squatted down and raised the ballista high. The angle between the muzzle and the horizontal plane was seventy or eighty degrees.
“Watch it!”
The leader of the second-phase regiment faced a large open space in the training ground and pulled the trigger three times in succession at a frequency of about once every two seconds.
“Dong-dong-dong-!”
With three muffled sounds, the extremely huge crossbow shells were launched at a slow speed that could be clearly seen by the naked eye, drawing a high arc and falling into the open space ahead.
The moment they touched the ground, these crossbow shells suddenly dispersed and turned into several independent small balls, spreading to the surroundings.
The next second, explosive flames swept across the entire open space.
“Boom, boom—!”
Amidst the continuous explosions, the firelight illuminated the entire training ground. The fierce explosion winds squeezed each other, and then turned into invisible air walls, spreading in all directions.
Pork Chops didn't pay attention and was knocked over to the ground. Even Gordon and the others had to raise their arms to shield their faces to prevent their eyes from being hurt by the sand and gravel.
Anhir's berets flew off, exposing his short hair, but he had no time to pay attention to that.
Looking at the empty space that turned into a sea of fire, his eyes were full of fanaticism.
Traditional diffusion bombs? Useless things!
From today on, he is a loyal believer in the new diffusion bomb!
After the continuous explosions, the gunpowder smoke dispersed slightly, and the previously flat open space had become pitted and filled with countless craters.
“Okay!” Ancier suddenly shouted, “This is the power that a heavy ballista should have!”
“What a hammer!” Gordon yelled back.
Looking at the scene in front of them that looked like they had been bombarded by artillery grenades, both his and Hayata's faces cracked.
this**? !
With these few shots, the monsters may be gone, but us swordsmen will also become cannon fodder!
“Ahem.”
The leader of the second-phase regiment on the side waved away the smoke and said with some embarrassment: "It's true, the biggest problem with this kind of diffusion bomb is that it cannot cooperate with the swordsman.
Otherwise, the monster and teammates will be raised together.
It is recommended to use it when hunting alone, or when hunting as a pure shooter, or it must be fired after the swordsmen teammates have withdrawn from a safe distance.
This latter one is actually not easy to handle. After all, monsters will also chase the swordsman. Combining it with trap flash bombs may have a better effect. "
“There is another problem. This kind of diffusion bomb is too big and heavy. The shooter should not be able to carry a few rounds with him.
Just the three rounds of ammunition fired in a row weighed more than 15 kilograms. "Pork Chop reminded loudly from the side.
“It’s okay, I’ll carry three rounds with me and let Gale Feng carry the rest.”
(There is another chapter in the middle of the night, maybe later, around 12 o’clock?)
ˆPs.
It’s impossible to describe how to quickly adjust while firing and reloading, so here I just carry it with me and distribute it, and then replenish it from my hunting companions.
Hmm, this is almost the same for mortars in reality? Comrades helped carry shells and so on.
There is also a method of spreading the cult. I feel that the swordsmen will definitely suffer a heavy blow if used to fight monsters of the size of the fire dragon, but if they fight larger monsters (), there should be no problem. The difference is that the heavy firepower Militarized hunting hmm.
