Chapter 309 (1/2)
In fact, everyone, including the stone bear, misestimated the range of the simple catapult.
Just now, when brother gaige was testing the catapult, the firing angle was only about 30 degrees, which was not the best firing angle for the catapult. So when they found the explosion point, they found that the explosion point was on the top of a big tree about 150 meters away from the launching site.
This is a world tree growing alone in this forest, with a height of 60-70 meters. But now, the world Master, who had been living well, was treated as a ”ghost shaver” because of some guy's unintentional action. A large part of the originally lush tree crown was missing. The warhead, which was filled with about 200 grams of bitter but not sour medicine, met a branch of the world master in the process of flying, Then it exploded at a height of about 60-70 meters from the ground, and the scattered fragments immediately cut off about a third of the crown of the tree
”Don't bear me any more, OK? I'm not a professional soldier. I just didn't master the launching angle when launching. As for you... ”
On the way back, brother Gai incarnated as master Sanzang and kept on explaining his mistakes.
Well, that's a powerful reason, but it doesn't cover up his mistakes. Well, at least the range of this grenade has not been maximized.
But no wonder this place is not suitable for range experiments at all. After all, the effective range of the firearm is only about 180 meters, but the range of the simple catapult is much larger. Especially, in order to increase the range, Dean specially lengthened the length of the barrel.
You should know that the range of the original 89 type catapult in historical time and space can reach 700 meters, and the effective range alone can also reach 500 meters. The range of this simple catapult made by adian may not be as far as the little devil's, but the effective range of 400 meters is absolutely certain.
And there are all big trees around here. It would be strange if we could test the range of this simple catapult.
”Let's go, experiment in another place. It's not suitable for this kind of experiment.” In front of chieftain junaluska and red cloud, the stone bear decisively changed the test site. Chieftain junaluska and his party said they would follow them to see everything, regardless of the hard journey.
”That's what you're talking about? It's light. ” Chief junaluska seemed to have seen some treasure. He just held the grenade and said he wanted to go to the new test site in person.
”Yes, it's a weapon used by soldiers. The weight must be reduced as much as possible, so that our soldiers can march with it for a long time. If it is too heavy, the weapon will lose its function. ”
The weight of this catapult is really small. Originally, the weight of the 89 type catapult in historical time and space was only about 5.5 Jin, which is lighter than that of a rifle. Because the material of the barrel is not up to standard, the wall thickness of the barrel is increased, and the length of the barrel is extended, so the weight of the barrel is close to five kilograms.
But even so, the weight of this grenade is much smaller than that of the San Etienne rifle and the brown Beth rifle. It's no problem for a person to march on his back for a long time.
”Well, you're right.” Chief junaluska nodded as he walked. ”Guardian, just a little thing, can you really hit that kind of powerful bullet 600 paces away?”
”It should be about the same. The details will depend on the results of the experiment. But if the range of this thing can really reach 600 steps, it will be enough to defeat the Kerry people with this kind of catapult. ” Stone bear is full of confidence.
