Chapter 381 (1/2)

But no matter how incredible it is, it is impossible to refute what happened in front of us.

The 200 yard target is inlaid with six fresh lead bullets, and the impact points are very close, which shows that the effective range of this rifle is absolutely up to 200 yards!

This range is more than twice the effective range of the brown Beth p1756 long musket now in the hands of the British Royal Army soldiers!

”If it's on the battlefield, with this effective range alone, people can walk their soldiers to death alive on the battlefield!”

Even if it was late autumn, and the weather became very cold, the thought of it made Colonel Jones's back sweat!

As a veteran officer, how could James Jones not know the importance of effective range?

At present, the Royal Army stationed in Jamestown is all armed with the brown Beth p1756 long muskets. This kind of muskets is also the most completed muskets of the brown Beth rifle since it was developed in 1722 and finally finalized in 1728 after the p1724 test. Now all the British Royal Army have basically changed this kind of rifles.

But even this rifle, its real effective range is only about 100 yards.

The effective range of a hundred yards is very good, at least not inferior to the French rifle. But if compared with the rifle in front of me, it's really not enough.

The effective range is 100 yards. If you are on the battlefield, your soldiers will be beaten passively! How can we fight such a war when our soldiers can't hit each other with their guns, but they can get one shot at a time?

And if it's just the difference of effective range, maybe we can make up the gap with the advantage of the number of soldiers, but the problem is that this rifle in people's hands still has such a fast firing speed!

Seven shots a minute, more than twice as fast as the brown Beth rifle!

Other people's guns are far and accurate, and their shooting speed is more than twice as fast as their own rifles. How can we play?

After a short period of panic, all that remained of Colonel Jones was red eyed

”If our soldiers are equipped with this kind of rifle, if the whole British Royal Army and even the navy are equipped with this kind of rifle, France, Spain, Prussia and Austria will all crawl and tremble at the feet of the soldiers of the British Empire!”

Almost in an instant, the idea filled Colonel Jones's mind.

”Dear guardian, I don't know about this rifle...” since you want to get this rifle, you don't need any face. If you can get this rifle, will the position of the general be far away from you?

Stone Bear looked at the grinning Colonel Jones. Without waiting for him to ask this question, he said directly, ”Mr. Colonel, do you want this rifle?”

Although it seems rude to interrupt the Colonel directly, Colonel Jones doesn't mind at all. On the contrary, the guardian's tone surprised the colonel.

”Yes, dear guardian, I want this rifle in your hand very much.” Said Colonel Jones, bending slightly, the grace and dignity of a colonel in the Royal Army of the British Empire had disappeared from him.

”Good!” The stone bear's happy reply made Colonel Jones seem to see God, but his next words made the Colonel a little at a loss.
