Chapter 407 (2/2)
”Dear chief, can I see with my own eyes your improved hand propelled catapult? Even if it's just a glance. ” Felisa pleaded.
”Major, I don't think I can answer your request!” Stone bear simply refused, ”just imagine, if your family has this improved crossbow, will you let others see it easily?”
Felisa's face showed a look of disappointment, ”it is true, respected leader, my request is indeed a little too much.”
The stone bear patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, ”it doesn't matter. But what I can tell you is that the weapon is indeed launched with improved catapults, and the grenades we made are launched. You must have seen the power. ”
After a pause, the stone bear continued: ”I know you won't believe me until you see the weapon with your own eyes. But I can't show you that kind of weapon. Therefore, in order to prove that our tribe has a very powerful weapon R & D capability, I can show you another weapon of our tribe. That kind of weapon is quite powerful, too. ”
”But, dear chief, I'm only interested in your kind of weapon...” Felisa seemed reluctant.
But is it OK to be reluctant? Obviously not!
So, with the stone bear's half forced and half wooed method, Felisa and his three officers followed the stone bear to the shooting range outside the tribe.
It's still the same process of showing captain Jones Ferguson's rifle outside Jamestown.
Good things don't need to be said, they just need to be shown. Although Ferguson's rifle is far worse than the explosive bear rifle, it is enough to sling all the rifles in Europe in this era.
The effective range and loading speed of the afterloading rifles are far beyond the ability of the main rifles in European countries. The Spanish Navy is still at the top of Europe in this era, but their army is really not good enough.
So, when the effective range of Ferguson's rifle was as high as 200 yards and the loading speed of more than six rounds per minute, major Felisa, who was not interested in this rifle before, almost glared out his eyes. Even his three men were shocked.
Although the gun can't compare with the gun's power, when an excellent rifle appears, the shock is still very huge.
Ferguson rifle is such an advanced rifle that can shock the whole Europe.
So, when Ferguson's rifle is displayed, major Felisa will never talk about that kind of powerful weapon again. All his thoughts are on this ”giant” rifle.
Although he had not been able to see the powerful weapon with his own eyes, Felisa was almost certain that the weapon was an improved catapult that could fire grenades.
Since it's improved from the crossbow, we can let the family try it after we go back. Even if the attempt is unsuccessful, it doesn't matter. After all, there is a new rifle that can replace that weapon!
If this rifle can be imitated, all the soldiers in the kingdom of Spain will be equipped with this kind of rifle, then the invincible army of the kingdom of Spain will stand on the top of Europe again! There is an invincible Spanish fleet on the ocean, and the same invincible Royal Spanish army on the land of the European continent. Who else can be the opponent of our great kingdom of Spain in the whole Europe?
