After the baseline gun type was decided, the participants struck while the iron was hot and added a sniper type.

It would be a waste if Sharps wasn't used as a prostitute.

During the Civil War, although the front-loaded Springfield rifle was the main force, the cool Sharps rifle was the favorite weapon of the soldiers.

The Sharps was not promoted at first because it sold for $35, nearly three times more expensive than a muzzleloader. In 1862, under the grim situation of the federal army's retreat, President Lincoln personally intervened.

The Northern Army finally purchased 1500 Sharps and formed the 1st and 2nd Marksman Regiments with Colonel Bourdain as commander, thus creating the glorious era of Sharps.

From this moment on, the Sharps rifle became famous: its main function is battlefield sniping. An experienced veteran can even shoot enemies at a distance of 4oo meters. You know, the human body 4oo meters away is only a match.

The box is not as big as the bison, it is bulky and easy to target.

The most important point is: these sniping results were achieved without a scope and the bullets were fixed-loaded paper shells! This shows the accuracy of the Sharps rifle.

After the Civil War, Sharps participated in many world-class shooting competitions and achieved excellent results.

Travelers will naturally not let go of one of the best attributes of this rifle. So at the seminar that day, in addition to the baseline model, there was another sniper rifle with a slightly longer barrel and a scope holder reserved on the gun body.

Type Sharps has also been determined. Even if only the self-produced 4x eyepiece is used in the future, soldiers can accurately destroy enemies within meters.

Regarding the specific details of the two new firearms, during the discussion that afternoon, five time travelers discussed and finally provided the framework and requirements one by one.

These data and requirements will be passed on to future generations by Cao Chuan. Then, after modifications by professional weapons designers, digital simulation, and live ammunition testing of prototype guns, the 200 prototype guns will pass through Cao Chuan's hands and come to the world.

members and equipment for the army.

The drawings of these prototype guns will be read and discussed by workers in the military factories in the kiln area. In the days to come, countless soldiers will charge into battle with knock-off Sharps produced in the kiln area, burying the enemy in a hail of bullets.

Having surpassed the three steps of matchlock, smoothbore bass, and rifled minigun, Sharps' sci-fi rifle will soon arrive in the army ahead of schedule.

It spans the huge gap between the front chamber and the breech chamber, giving the breech-loader gun the greatest strategic advantage. This behavior of soldiers loading in the prone position arrived in advance in the 17th century.

From then on, trenches, foxholes and phalanxes, which looked funny but were actually massacres, would appear across the plane.

The so-called debut is at its peak, and that's all.

The reason why the time-traveling forces are so cautious about this prototype gun is: since the advantages are so great, the prototype gun must be designed carefully, because there is almost no possibility of upgrading it in the future.

Although Sharps can be easily modified into a metal cartridge type, the big office has made it clear that it will be finalized once and will not be modified or upgraded in the future. Copper cartridges are impossible, not even in this life.

There will always be more important cables, wires, motors, refrigerators and electrics. These big copper eaters are standing in front. With the development of industrial society, the demand for metal copper can be said to be unlimited.

With Sharps already a god, it remains to be seen whether the big office can expect to import dozens of sets of special equipment, seize a few copper mines, and mass-produce copper-cased bullets in his lifetime.

In short, the new gun will solidify the moment it is finalized.

Perhaps one day, a certain force will have abundant copper and a strong basic industry. However, by that time, various bolt-action rifles that are more suitable for copper-cased bullets will enter the stage of history: such as the familiar Mauser, 38 and 38 rifles.

Old guns with outdated designs like the Mosin Nagant Sharps will still not get the chance to be modified by then, and will have no choice but to silently wield their last remaining heat in a turret in a remote colony.

Three days later, when another group of people were bragging and spanking at the artillery seminar, Chairman Cao had already returned to the future with Pan.

As for artillery, from the moment someone announced that copper metal was not allowed to be used in guns and artillery, no one paid attention to it.

Even if firearms do not use copper-cased bullets, there are still many things that can be done in them: rifled Minnies, breech-loaded Sharps, etc., are all designs that can change the mode of war, just like steam engines do to waterwheels.

However, the artillery is lackluster. Without metal shells, the front-loaded smoothbore cannon becomes the only option. The sad thing is: there is no skill tree for this thing.

From the 17th century to the Opium War 200 years later, there were no revolutionary changes in the front-loading smoothbore cannon. The caliber was increased, the range was increased, and various parts were tried to be stronger. This is part of evolution.

But this change is more due to the upgrading of the metal processing industry. As for the smoothbore cannon itself, the mouth is small and the butt is big. There is a small eye on the butt. When it shoots, it sprays iron balls. This design has not changed for hundreds of years.

Chuan Chuan Zhong is no exception.

Travelers can smelt good steel and iron, perform various heat treatments on metals, use various electric hammers and hydraulic presses, and fry, steam, and stir-fry. However, these technologies only allow the smoothbore barrels produced by time travelers to be thinner and less heat-dissipating.

It's better, and the hit rate of the iron ball fired is higher. In essence, it is still a front-loaded smoothbore gun. Compared with its opponents, there is no technical difference.

So no one pays attention to the smoothbore cannon: 2, 4, 6, 8. The military factory should practice its craftsmanship according to this poundage. When it comes to the long-barreled 24-pound naval gun, it will be successful.

As for the Army artillery, this has not yet been put on the agenda.

In the face of the breech-loading Sharps rifle with an effective range of 30 meters, all small and medium-sized smoothbore guns have now become a burden to soldiers when performing missions.

For example, those 2468-pound cannons that originally accompanied soldiers in history, but their range did not reach meters, which is now very embarrassing. Even if it reaches meters, the artillerymen will have to work hard to push the heavy artillery cart to the front of the formation and shoot an iron ball.

Finally, it was found that the enemy had already been wiped out by the dense rain of bullets, which was embarrassing.

Everything small cannons can do, Sharps can do. Now in the 17th century, European semi-snake muskets need a caliber of more than 12 pounds to reach a range of meters. In fact, these iron ball cannons with no accuracy,
