Super Chief

　　 The Ferguson rifle in the original historical time and space is a very creative rifle.

　　Patrick Ferguson, then captain of the British Royal Army, in order to solve the problem of rear-loading rifle locking, ingeniously adopted a rotating locking mechanism, which completely solved the problem of the sealing of the rear-loading gun powder chamber.

　　This kind of locking method is similar to the locking of the rotary valve of the faucet. At that time, Captain Ferguson opened a round hole in the rear of the gun, which is the upper part of the gunpowder chamber, and then installed a threaded locking rotary valve on the round hole. The locking rotary valve is integrated with the trigger guard below.

　　 When using, first turn the trigger guard a circle, so that you can open the locking rotary valve to expose the rear gun chamber, load the spherical projectile, and then load the bulk granular black powder, so that the filling work is completed.

　　After loading the ammunition, turn the trigger guard one turn upside down, so that locking the rotary valve can completely close the barrel. Of course, after all this work is done, fine-grained black powder must be put into the ignition pool as the ignition powder, so that when the flint is excited, the sparks produced can ignite the gunpowder in the ignition pool, and finally ignite the gun. The gunpowder in the chamber completes an excitation process.

　　 This kind of rotatable locking mechanism is the key to the Ferguson rifle. It is precisely because of the locking mechanism that can rotate to open and close, the after-loading of ammunition can be realized.

　　 But this gun is not without its shortcomings. One of the biggest shortcomings comes from this rotating locking mechanism.

　　 The Ferguson rifle uses a threaded vertical rotary valve to lock. This kind of genius design at the time has a good air-holding effect, but the shortcomings are also obvious. This is because prolonged shooting will cause gunpowder residues to be blocked between the teeth of the locking threaded column and the threaded hole, which will make it difficult to lock the thread or fail to leak air.

　　 In addition, this rifle has another shortcoming, that is, the fire hole of the ignition pool is located on the right side of the bottom of the barrel, near the closed end of the barrel. In order to transmit the fire effectively, the gunpowder close to the fire hole can only be ignited in bulk, and it cannot be compacted effectively. In contrast, although those front-loaded guns first pour gunpowder pellets from the muzzle and then load the projectiles, the gunpowder can be compacted with cleaning rods at the end.

　　 Therefore, although the Ferguson rifle was an epoch-making rifle at the time, it actually had some flaws.

　　 But even if there were defects, this gun was already the top rifle at the time.

　　 In fact, there is no gun in this world that can guarantee 100% defect-free, even those carefully crafted rifles of later generations also have such defects.

　　 Ishikuma wanted to make a burst rifle or even a machine gun, but that was absolutely unrealistic. Even if it was the Miner rifle that was made by the protagonist Goldfinger that he saw in various overhead historical novels in his previous life, now the Gaoshu tribe does not have that kind of conditions.

　　 There are no available talents in the tribe.

　　 Now that he has finally caught a Ferguson Ensign, Stone Bear naturally wants to inspire him to get the Ferguson rifle first.

　　 As for whether he should continue to inspire him to get out the Miner rifle in the future, it depends on the situation.

　　 Lieutenant Ferguson stood there holding the barrel so motionless, the expression on his face changed quickly.

Seeing this situation, Shi Xiong knew that this guy was at a critical moment, so he ordered them to spread out a little bit, guard around the house, and don’t let the clansman come in and disturb this critical moment of degeneration. British military officer.

　　 Shixiong will naturally not leave, he wants to witness the degeneration of this guy with his own eyes!

　　 This is the middle of the morning, until almost noon, Lieutenant Ferguson, who had been standing still, let out a sigh of relief as if waking up from a big dream.

　　 Obviously, after hard thinking, this guy finally realized something.

　　 "How? How are you thinking? Did you think of how to post-install?" Shixiong looked at Lieutenant Ferguson with a smile.

　　 Lieutenant Ferguson looked at Shi Xiong with a complex expression, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he lowered his head with a sigh.

Shi Xiong smiled carelessly: "Haha, looking at your appearance, obviously I have come up with some methods under my inspiration. How about, I said that I can inspire you to develop better guns and do it! Uh! Well, ordinary bosses do this..." At the end of the day, Shi Xiong added such a word in an ass.

Hearing this, Ferguson raised his head and his face changed several times before he bit his cheek and said, "Boss (BOSS), this time I really thank you. Your inspiration really made me think of a kind of The method that can solve the air leakage of the gun at the same time after loading. That is to rotate the locking mechanism!"

After so long, this guy was finally willing to call "Boss". Although he was still so reluctant, but this was the first time this guy took the initiative to call himself the boss, which made Shi Xiong a little bit old-fashioned. The comfort!

"Well, now that you have come up with a way, let the ideas in your mind come true! I don’t know if you paid attention, I have already cast an eye for you in the gunpowder chamber of this barrel. What I did was figure out how to block this eye."

"Ah? You have gotten out the eye for loading ammunition?" Hearing Shixiong's words~www.wuxiaspot.com~Ferguson quickly turned the barrel upside down and carefully observed the thickened part of the barrel. A circular hole about 0.8 inches in diameter was seen there.

　　 Just now, he patronized the overall quality of the barrel and whether the barrel was straight. He didn't notice that this part had quietly opened an eye.

"Patrick, this eye is cast according to the caliber of the projectile you are using now, and the caliber of the barrel is also made according to the caliber of the projectile you are using now. That is to say, if you want to experiment, use your current projectile. Yes. I don’t have that condition to cast projectiles for you."

After a pause, Shi Xiong pointed to the round hole and said, "Now you have to find a way to make threads on this, otherwise the sealing effect will not be as required. As for how to make threads on this barrel, Then you have to figure out a solution yourself."

　　 "Boss, the steel for this barrel is so hard, how can I get the thread?" Lieutenant Ferguson was a little anxious.

"It's none of my business. You are the main force in the development of new guns. If I want to do everything, why do you need to do it? Well, since you are the boss, I can give it to you. A small tip. It’s not complicated to make a steel that is harder than the barrel steel. Aren’t we still left with a large pile of steel? You can take off one of them and create the thread you need. The tool, of course, you must burn the steel red when you build the tool, so remember one thing, if the tool is built but still in a red-hot state, you can quench it with cold water Way to make the tool harder..."

　　 "Quenching?" Lieutenant Ferguson's eyes suddenly lit up...
