"Where are the multiple-barrel shotguns now?"
Jerome Bonaparte asked Alfonso Chassabeau a little hastily.
Alfonso Chasepo told Jerome Bonaparte that the multi-barrel shotgun is still in the R&D department. If Jerome Bonaparte agrees, he can send someone to carry the multi-barrel shotgun over.
Jérôme Bonaparte immediately ordered Alfonso Chassepo to bring the multi-barrel shotgun over.
After receiving the order of Jerome Bonaparte, Alfonso Chasepo turned around and asked Paul Mauser to return to the R&D department to pull the multi-barreled shotgun in a carriage.
Paul Mauser didn't hesitate, turned his head and trotted towards the location of the R&D department.
Minister Wayan, who was standing on the side, looked at Emperor Jerome Bonaparte with a little doubt. He didn't understand what kind of weapon could make His Majesty the Emperor so eager to meet him.
For a time, Minister Wayan also became curious about the so-called "multi-barrel shotgun".
And Jérôme Bonaparte also took advantage of the time before the "Gatling Machine Gun" arrived, and chatted with Alfonso Chasepo about the various parameters of the machine gun.
From the mouth of Alfonso Chassip, Jerome Bonaparte learned that the weight of the new rifle is about 90 kilograms, there are a total of 6 barrels, and the length of each barrel is about 26.5 inches (67.3 cm ), 3-4 operators are required to complete the shooting.
The ammunition used in the machine gun is the same as the ammunition used in the Mauser rifle, both of which are 11x60mm brass bullets.
"You did a great job!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction and said to Alfonso Chassibo.
"It all depends on your guidance and Paul Mauser's help!" Alfonso Chassepo said to Jerome Bonaparte sincerely.
"Well! Paul Mauser also participated in the design?" Jerome Bonaparte asked with a hint of surprise in his tone.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Alfonso Chasepo told Jérôme Bonaparte that the magazine of the multi-barrel shotgun was designed by Paul Mauser himself, so the multi-barrel shotgun also has Paul Mauser's credit.
"Don't worry! I will definitely not treat each of you badly!" Of course Jerome Bonaparte understood what Alfonso Xiasaibo meant, and he immediately assured Alfonso Xiasaipo.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Alfonso Chasepo bowed to Jerome Bonaparte again.
"However..." Jerome Bonaparte changed the subject and said in a slightly teasing tone: "The premise of all this is that the multi-barrel shotguns you designed can be used in actual combat, but weapons that cannot be used in actual combat. I will not pay!
"
"Please rest assured! I will not disappoint you!" Alfonso Xia Saibo replied firmly.
"Yeah!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded, then pointed at Minister Wayan and Chief of General Staff Nierre and told Alfonso Chassibo that the two of them would be the masters of this test. examiner.
Let's go and try it. 】
If Chasepold's "shotgun" doesn't satisfy any of them, it means ingredients.
Just as Jerome Bonaparte was chatting, Paul Mauser appeared at the shooting range, and behind him was the "protagonist" waiting for the test.
At this time, "it" was being carried on the shoulders by four strong men, walking towards Jerome Bonaparte.
Jerome Bonaparte fixed his eyes, and his eyes were instantly attracted by the "gadget" that the strong man held on his shoulders.
That's right, the gadgets on the shoulders of the four strong men are not Gatling guns, what are they!
No... it shouldn't be called the Gatling machine gun, it should be called the Xia Saipo machine gun.
At the same time, Chief Niel and Minister Wayan were also attracted by the "multi-barrel shotgun" carried on the shoulders of the strong man.
Regardless of whether the performance of this "Gatling gun" is good or bad, the design of its multiple barrels around a single axis is enough to attract attention.
"Quick! Put it here!" said Jerome Bonaparte, as he greeted the strong man and carried the machine gun to his side.
After the four strong men put the machine gun on the ground, Jérôme Bonaparte sat cross-legged on the ground regardless of his image, stroking the outer structure of the machine gun with his hand, and muttered incessantly: "That's right. ,This is it!"
After a while, Jerome Bonaparte raised his head again and said to Minister Nier and Vaillant, "Niel, Vaillant, come and have a look!"
Niel and Wayan crouched down at the same time, and they all stroked the gun body and barrel with their hands.
And Jerome Bonaparte pulled out the cylindrical magazine that was inserted upside down at the top of the machine gun with both hands. At this time, there was not a single bullet in the magazine. Jerome Bonaparte pointed to the magazine and asked Alfonso Suo Xia Saibo said, "Mr. Xia Saibo, why are there no bullets in the magazine!"
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment!" Paul Mauser hurriedly said to Jerome Bonaparte upon seeing this, and then quickly trotted away.
Soon Paul Mauser appeared again, and at this moment there was another cylindrical magazine in his hand.
Paul Mauser came to Jerome Bonaparte and handed the magazine to Jerome Bonaparte.
Jerome Bonaparte also took the magazine with both hands. He felt that the weight in the magazine was obviously much heavier than the previous one. He immediately concluded that there must be a lot of bullets in the magazine.
With the help of Vaillant and Niel, Jérôme Bonaparte put the loaded magazine upside down and inserted it into the groove at the top, then patted the gun lightly and asked Paul Mauser: " How many bullets per magazine?"
"Each magazine has 230 rounds, which can be consumed by the rifle in one minute!" Paul Mauser immediately replied to Jerome Bonaparte.
After hearing that 230 rounds of bullets could only be fired for one minute, Minister Niel and Wayan had shocked expressions on their faces.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, still had a calm expression on his face. For him, the rate of fire of 200 rounds per minute was nothing at all.
Not to mention the rate of fire of the Maxim heavy machine gun known as the Widow Killer, even if it is a Gatling machine gun with roughly the same design as Alfonso Xia Saibo, its rate of fire can be as high as 1000 per minute in later improvements. send.
The rate of fire of 200 rounds is nothing compared to the later ones!
Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte inquired about the principle structure of the machine gun.
Alfonso Chasepo told Jerome Bonaparte that the machine gun's principle and structure is very simple, that is to use the hand crank located in the right hand to make the barrel group rotate clockwise, and each barrel turns to " The 12 o'clock position receives a round from the upside-down magazine at the top, then rotates to the "4 o'clock" position to fire, then discharges the empty case at the bottom left, and then idles back to the top to receive a new round.
Then Alfonso Chassepo told Jerome Bonaparte that he finally understood why Jerome Bonaparte asked him to design multiple barrels to rotate around an axis, because the multiple barrels operate in sequence The design can disperse the operation steps, which is beneficial to improve the rate of fire and the heat dissipation of the barrel. During the rotation of the barrel, the corresponding bolt of each barrel is in a reciprocating straight line in the rotating body guide groove that rotates with the barrel. Movement (this technology has been completed as early as the Montigny machine gun period in 1851), completes the action of feeding into the chamber, locking, firing, unlocking, and shelling.
After listening to Alfonso Chassepo's self-improvement explanation, Jerome Bonaparte also fell into silence.
God is pitiful, the reason why he let Alfonso Xia Saibo design a multi-barrel rotation is entirely because the "historical" Gatling machine gun is like this. He himself has no idea that this multi-barrel design or this layer meaning.
However, since Alfonso Xia Saibo thought he knew everything, Jerome Bonaparte had no choice but to keep his "cold" attitude. He just smiled and didn't speak.
Niel and Wayan, who were squatting beside Jerome Bonaparte, once again cast a shocking look at Jerome Bonaparte. They didn't know how many secrets there were still in His Majesty the Emperor.
"Okay, no more gossip! We should test the performance of the machine gun!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Alfonso Chassé while standing up and patting the dust on his body.
Seeing this, Alfonso Xia Saibo hurriedly nodded, and then gave the order to the strong man who had been staying in place to pull the carriage here.
"Mr. Xia Saibo, what do you want the carriage for?" Chief Niel asked Alfonso Xia Saipo in confusion.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, you will find out in a while!" Alfonso Xia Saibo said mysteriously.
After a while, the strong man drove the carriage carrying the goods to the shooting range, and there was a tripod on the carriage, which seemed to be the frame for the machine gun.
Alfonso Xia Saipo once again gave orders to the strong men, ordering them to place the machine guns on the brackets.
The strong man took up the machine gun again and fixed it on the tripod.
After everything was ready, the strong man untied the harness, and Alfonso Xia Saipo, Paul Mauser and William Mauser stood behind the "Gatling Gun" and on the left and right sides respectively.
Alfonso Xia Saibo aimed the muzzle at the distant target, and then turned the handle gently, the barrel at the top also began to turn clockwise from twelve o'clock. .
When the topmost barrel turned to the four o'clock position, there was a sound of "da da da" from the muzzle, and a flash of fire and wisps of white smoke appeared from the muzzle.
Thirty seconds later, the front of the Gatling gun was shrouded in white smoke.
About 30 seconds later, Alfonso Xia Saibo stopped shooting. At this moment, under the Gatling Gun, more than 200 bullet casings were scattered around, which was particularly spectacular.
"Niel, go and have a look!" Jerome Bonaparte ordered Niel to go to the location of the target to check.
Niel trotted to the target that was nearly 300 meters away. Looking at the dense bullet holes on the target, he couldn't help taking a breath.
Then, he arrived in front of Jerome Bonaparte to report the situation to Jerome Bonaparte.
