Chapter 458 (1/2)

Although major Felisa was shown a black powder catapult used for propellants and explosives, that is, the first generation of catapults used by the stormy bear army, the power of this catapult still made major Felisa grumble around the stone bear all night.

There's no way. Even though Felisa was born in a big noble family, even he was a master who went south and north to see a lot of knowledge. But when this epoch-making weapon appeared in front of his eyes, he was still completely subdued.

It is estimated that he never dreamed that the artillery could be so small and exquisite that a person could run all over the street with this kind of small artillery called the catapult on his back. The most important thing is that the power of this kind of catapult is still so big, the effective range is still so far, and the accuracy is still so high!

In contrast, all the guns used by European countries are far inferior to this small catapult.

Nowadays, the artillery used by European countries is a typical example of stupid, big and thick. Even the lightest three pound riding gun needs to be pulled by horses. As for the guns with larger caliber, they can only be loaded on the huge sailing ships with huge bearing capacity except for being installed on the city wall.

Therefore, in terms of mobility, the catapult is far better than all the artillery currently used in various countries.

As for the power, it is even more incomparable! Even a fool knows that the power of a solid bomb can't be compared with that of a flowering bomb.

Therefore, in terms of power, the catapult completely won.

And effective range and accuracy, not to mention. At present, although the longest range of artillery used in various countries can reach several kilometers in theory, the effective range is too tragic. In particular, the accuracy of naval guns is not to mention, otherwise the windsurfing battleships of various countries will not close to each other to within 200 meters when they are engaged

Although the effective range of this kind of catapult is only 600 yards, the problem is that people can't say where to hit in the range of 600 yards, but at least eight or even nine shots out of ten shells can hit the target accurately!

The effective range and accuracy of this kind of distance can throw the artillery used by European countries as far as the Atlantic Ocean!

And the most terrible is the loading speed of this kind of catapult!

At present, among the guns used by European countries, even the fastest three pound riding gun can shoot two shells a minute, which is the top level of artillery basic skills. But what's the power of that three pound gun? It's nothing more than a dozen shells. It's still a little lethality. If you use that kind of gun to launch a solid bullet, that kind of solid bullet is about the size of a small walnut. It can have fart power!

But this kind of catapult is terrible. Under the condition of extremely fast shooting, it can even reach the firing speed of more than 20 shells in one minute, which is simply unthinkable.

You should know that the loading speed of the muskets used by the armies of various countries is only about three shots a minute. Even the Ferguson rifles they just got are only a little more than six shots a minute.

And a powerful small caliber gun has such a fast loading speed

If it is matched with the effective range and accuracy of this kind of catapult and the great power of the blooming bullet

Felisa could not imagine that if the Navy and army of the kingdom of Spain were equipped with such weapons, who else would be the opponent of the Spanish army!

No wonder the last time we united with the saiminoans, the army of 5000 or 6000 people was defeated and collapsed by the army of 500 or so people!
