Chapter 102 (2/2)

“What is an 'add-on grenade'?”

After clearing his throat Meiya asked a question.

In the high-elf kingdom, I heard the stories from Lyzz and Shea until we arrive. Shea threw the grenade by hand and a.s.sisted the body with physical strengthening magic. I decided to develop an “add-on grenade” by listening to the story of the Basilisk's splashed face.

So what does “add-on grenade” mean?

The rifle grenade was invented as a way to increase the range and hit rate rather than throwing grenades by hand. It was a method of installing a special attachment to the rifle and firing the ammunition using the gun.

However, with this method, there was a drawback that it was necessary to place the attachment for launching a grenade to the muzzle, so shooting was not possible during that time.

Soon the air gun and the rifle were not used anymore; a dedicated gun that fires the grenade alone – a handheld grenade launcher was developed. You can load a grenade of 40 mm size in a center folding device.

But, the grenadier was vulnerable during the loading; he cannot carry a large number of spare bullets as rifles and machine guns due to the large size of the bullet. The grenadier–even with grenades, didn’t seem to have as many bullets.

The idea was to combine the grenade launcher and the rifle.

“Grenade launcher wearable type rifle” is naturally bulky and heavier than grenade launchers and rifles alone. But it is lighter and more manageable than having both. We call such a type of grenade launcher “add-on • grenade” or “under barrel • grenade”.

The “Add-on • grenade” which I am about to make from now is a 40 mm add-on • grenade of “GB 15” that can be mounted without modification on the “AK” series.

I also experienced the Basilisk battle and decided to develop a special acoustic flash stun bullet, not only grenades.

Only grenades in a demon that has special magic eyes like the basilisk is precarious. I don’t want to be in a situation where I am self-distracted pulling out the pin of a grenade at close range of a seal magical eye.

Then, if it’s even a little strenuous, one has to make the damage returning to oneself a little one. [TN this was a hard one. This is the best translation I came with.]

That is the Special Stun (acoustic flash bullet) grenade.

The Special Stun (acoustic flash bullet) grenade has a shape resembling grenades and smoke bombs. When you pull out the safety pin, it generates a flash of light, a loud volume, and vibration for several consecutive seconds.

It is cla.s.sified as”non-lethal equipment” because it does not scatter fragments for killing purposes.

The development is the key to be able to recreate magnesium with magic. Incidentally, The Special Stun (acoustic flash bullet) grenade is not a one-time use. The outside is made of metal, and it can be used about 20 times by exchanging the contents.

Meiya admires and nods.

“Indeed,” non-lethal equipment “that does not kill the opponent; it is an interesting magic tool. Simply lute-sama like! It is not just to defeat enemies but magical tools to neutralize enemies! It is an idea not to stick to a mere genius! Genius beyond the Genius indeed! G.o.d Genius Magic Tool Developer Lute-sama! ”

G.o.d genius…… I feel a bit stupid. Besides, I did not invent it; it is a version of the wisdom of my ancestors. Humility is important as j.a.panese.

I clear my throat and change my mind.

“Well then let’s make it quickly”

“Yes! I'll exert myself so that I won’t be a drag!”

So in this way, Meiya and I undertake the development work.
