Chapter 1403: Spells and guns

Views:

The appearance of the firearms Ye Zan took out imitated many historical "famous guns", but the internal structure and materials were not really that backward. Therefore, although the power of these firearms is not comparable to more advanced energy weapons, it is not comparable to those prototypes in history.

Speaking of this range, Daoyuan Supreme used a sniper rifle to shoot the Wolf King in the head from a distance of almost two to three thousand meters. But this distance is not the limit of the effective range of this sniper rifle, and other types of firearms used by Ye Zan and others also have such range and power. Not to mention the AK74, even the revolver in Shi Lin's hand was capable of hitting the Wolf King's head from such a distance.

Of course, as wild beasts, giant wolves are not comparable to ordinary beasts in all aspects. After discovering that the Wolf King had been sniped, they were stunned for a moment and quickly found the direction from which the "thunderbolt" sounded. Then, several strong giant wolves, baring their white fangs that seemed to be hung with fleshy threads, rushed toward Ye Zan and the others.

At the speed of the giant wolf, even a distance of two to three thousand meters can be rushed over in an instant. Their tall and strong bodies did not become a hindrance to their speed, and seemed to turn into streaks of gray lightning on the wasteland.

However, if there is lightning, how can there be no thunder! The moment the giant wolves launched their charge, a thunderclap sounded in front of them. Following the sound of thunder, streaks of gray lightning seemed to hit invisible walls, suddenly emerging from their "lightning form", then rushing out for a distance under the inertia, and finally fell to the ground helplessly.

The sound of thunder naturally came from the firearms in the hands of Ye Zan and others. Whether it was a sniper rifle, an automatic rifle, or a compact pistol, the gunshots were extremely loud. The power of these guns is much stronger than the historical prototypes. The key lies in the propellant of the bullets.

As for the propellant, whether it is a more advanced formula or a larger charge, it is all designed to use stronger explosive power to provide stronger propulsion, so the sound cannot be made small. That is to say, these firearms use more advanced alloy materials. Otherwise, if they are replaced with the original materials used in prototype firearms, they may have to blow themselves up first if they fire.

Ye Zan was holding an AK74. Although this was an automatic rifle that could quickly shoot out all the bullets in the magazine, he still chose the burst-fire method. As he lightly pressed the gun plate with his fingers, "bang bang bang" gunfire sounded rhythmically, and bullets flew out from the muzzle. Although the AK74 is not a sniper rifle, it is almost the same as a sniper rifle in his hands, as if it is a cheat-like gunshot.

Daoyuan Supreme next to him, because he used a sniper rifle and had to manually load every shot, so his shooting speed was much slower than Ye Zan. That is to say, Ye Zan did not intend to grab the wolf's head, otherwise the giant wolves that rushed towards him might not even have the chance to shoot him.

When it comes to manual loading, it’s not that Ye Zan doesn’t have the ability to solve this problem, but that he specifically reserved it for the “interestingness” of the firearm. After all, the guns he gave to Daoyuan Supreme were the ones he usually used for fun, so the convenience of actual use was ignored. If it were purely for actual combat considerations, he wouldn't actually need this kind of gun, he could just bring out the Metal Storm and be done with it.

Of course, coming from the Great Wilderness Realm, the generals who use firearms are not just for fun, but to really use them to fight against wild beasts. In the future, if these firearms are to be officially released, Ye Zan will also make some optimizations to these firearms based on actual requirements.

The little Loli was also holding a Barrett sniper rifle. Her small body was floating in the air and she aimed at the target in the distance with a serious look on her face. There was a "bang" gunshot, and her petite body remained motionless, while a gray lightning in the distance was instantly overturned.

The reason why the little Loli flew into the air to shoot was because her height on the ground had no advantage and her sight would be blocked by the wild growing weeds. And when she flies into the air, she doesn't need to fly very high. She just needs to make her sight wider and be able to see the target in the distance.

This is another advantage of monks using guns, that is, there are not many requirements for the terrain, and if it doesn't work, they can still fly into the air. Unlike ordinary people, if there is an obstacle in the shooting range ahead, they have to find a suitable position and angle.

After all, this is still a world of monastic civilization. Even if the spell has no effect on wild beasts, it is still no problem to use it on yourself. For example, it is very difficult for ordinary people to wind the giant crossbows used by monks, even with mechanical assistance. But it's easy for ascetics. They can use magic to wind the string. Anyway, it's enough that the arrows shot will not have magic power attached to them.

After a burst of gunfire, the giant wolves that rushed towards them all gave up their lives while still far away from Ye Zan and the others. However, the behavior of those giant wolves, coupled with the gunshots from Ye Zan's side, also made the remaining giant wolves react. So, almost following the giant wolves in front, the remaining giant wolves roared and charged.

"Fellow Daoist Wuji, weapons like guns are indeed very powerful in dealing with wild beasts. However, there is one drawback. The sound is too eye-catching, and it is easy to be attracted by wild beasts from a distance. !" Daoyuan Supreme only fired a few shots, then stopped to watch Qianli Zhuanshen, and said to Ye Zan.

"Oh, this is not well thought out. This firearm actually has some accessories that can be enhanced in various aspects. For example, as for the problem mentioned by the senior, there is actually a silencer that matches the firearm. There are sights for ultra-long-distance aiming, etc. "Ye Zan was also used to using guns in this way, so he temporarily ignored the issue of gunshots. After all, when playing with guns, the sound of gunfire is also a big stimulus, just like people like to set off firecrackers. Therefore, if there is no sound of gunfire, it will make him feel that something is missing, and it will be difficult to fully enjoy firing a thousand rounds of bullets.

"There is also a silencer! What is that?" Daoyuan Supreme asked curiously.

Ye Zan smiled and quickly found a silencer for a sniper rifle from the Qiankun Ring. While handing it to Daoyuan Supreme, he introduced: "This is the silencer used for the gun in the hands of the senior. Only However, since I did not consider this issue before downloading it, I did not make any improvements to the silencer, and the effect may be slightly worse. The seniors only need to screw the threaded end of this thing to the muzzle. ”

Daoyuan Supreme took the silencer and screwed it on the muzzle of the gun according to Ye Zan's instructions, which immediately made the sniper rifle appear much longer. Then he skillfully raised the gun and took aim.

Ye Zan added next to him: "This silencer is just the simplest one. It cannot completely eliminate the sound of the gun, and it will also reduce the power of the gun. I will think about it carefully after using it and strive to make a better one." The silencer comes."

After listening to Ye Zan's words, Daoyuan Supreme couldn't help it anymore. He gently pulled the trigger of the gun with his finger, and a gunshot sounded again. However, as Ye Zan said, the sound of gunfire was not completely eliminated, and it was still very loud even from a close distance. However, he could also hear that after installing the silencer, the sound of gunshots did change somewhat compared to before.

"Well, the gunshot is indeed a little quieter, but with the ears of wild beasts, I'm afraid it will still be discovered at a close distance. If, as fellow Taoist said, a better silencer can be made, I don't know how loud the gunshot will be. To what extent?" After putting away the gun, Supreme Daoyuan turned to Ye Zan and continued to ask.

Ye Zan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, as for the silencer, as long as we use some magical means to completely eliminate the sound of gunfire, there is no problem."

In fact, in just a few words, Ye Zan already had a better plan in mind regarding the improvement of the silencer. The "magic resistance" of the wild beast is high, so the bullets need to have sufficient physical attack power, but this does not mean that this gun cannot have some magical elements.

To put it simply, if the physical attack power of a bullet is ten, then adding some spells to the firearm will at most make the ten still ten, rather than turning ten into nine or lower. Therefore, using some refining methods on firearms and using spells to improve some problems of the firearm itself will not have much impact on the power of bullets. On the contrary, for example, using magic to silence the bullet also eliminates the loss of kinetic energy of the bullet caused by the physical silencer itself, ensuring the power of the bullet to the greatest extent.

"Use magic means?" Daoyuan Supreme nodded, agreeing with Ye Zan's statement.

Ye Zan did what he thought of and took out another silencer from the Qiankun Ring, and pinched the weapon refining technique in front of the Supreme Daoyuan. Under his refining, the silencer first turned into a ball of red-hot molten iron, and then was flattened and rounded like dough. After a while, the silencer was completely shaped and turned into a small thing that was more than ten times smaller in size and covered with light gold runes.

"Senior, try this!" Ye Zan collected the magic formula and handed the refined silencer directly to Daoyuan Supreme.

"I am really impressed by my fellow Taoist's weapon refining skills!" Supreme Dao Yuan complimented, took the new silencer that was combined with the weapon refining method, and replaced it with the sniper rifle in his hand.

In fact, in addition to incomplete silencing and affecting the power of bullets, ordinary silencers also have a problem that must be mentioned, that is, the loss rate is relatively high. In other words, after installing a silencer, you will basically not be able to fire many bullets, and the silencer will become less and less effective, and will soon become a waste product. The reason for this is that the gun flames from the bullet, as well as shock waves and vibrations, etc., will cause damage to the silencer.

Although the propellant of the bullet is fired in the barrel of the gun and is bound by the cartridge case, it still has to be released at the muzzle. It's like if you fire a cannon inside an iron can, it may not be able to destroy the iron can once or twice, but it will still deform the iron can if it explodes too many times.

And Ye Zan used weapon refining and magic to achieve the silencing effect. Compared with using iron cans to forcibly restrain those forces, he naturally did not need to suffer as much damage.

Dao Yuan Zhizun replaced the new silencer, raised his gun and fired in the distance again. As expected, the sound of the gunfire changed significantly. Although the sound of gunfire has not been completely eliminated, it can be said to be quite small compared with the previous situation. Even if someone is shooting an arrow nearby, the sound of the bow string vibrating may be much louder than the silenced gunshot.

"Well, this sound is good enough. After all, this is not the only sound in the wilderness. Under the cover of other sounds, even with the ears of wild beasts, it is difficult to find the sound of gunshots." Daoyuan Supreme He nodded with satisfaction.

"Haha, senior, as long as you are satisfied! I would also like to thank senior for reminding me of this matter, otherwise I would not have thought of this problem in the next half a while." Ye Zan thanked Dao Yuan Supreme, and then took out a few silencers, according to the The previous method was used to refine it. These silencers were of course for himself and a few other people, and he did not want to use the sound of gunshots to attract untouchable wild beasts during the subsequent hunting activities.

Everyone installed new silencers, and then went over together to collect the corpses of the giant wolves. All the twenty or so giant wolves had been shot dead. These giant wolves were not of much value to Ye Zan, so whether they were wolf skins or wolf meat and bones, they were all dug into a hole and buried.

After cleaning the battlefield, everyone set off again with guns in hand. While moving towards the intended target, they hunted the wild beasts they encountered along the way. Moreover, the strength of the hunting targets they choose is also improving. After all, hunting is just incidental, mainly to test the power of firearms.

Facing a golden giant rhinoceros, Daoyuan Supreme held a six-barreled Vulcan cannon, and the bullets swept away like a storm. In the blink of an eye, the golden giant rhinoceros, known for its defensive power, was shot into a giant sieve of blood, and its valuable rhinoceros skin was completely turned into garbage.

"This weapon is quite ferocious. If it is just used for hunting, the sniper rifle is more suitable. Moreover, its bullet consumption is too shocking. In just a few moments, it consumed thousands of bullets." After Yuan Zhizun stopped, he looked at the barrel of the gun that was still rotating with inertia and said with some regret.

"This kind of weapon is used to deal with targets that are large in number but have average defense, so the best use is in the defense of the tribe." Ye Zan said while looking at the Thousand Miles of Legend in his hand. There was a picture just taken on it. The photo is exactly the scene of Dao Yuan Supreme wielding a gun and shooting furiously. However, what made him feel a little regretful was that Daoyuan Supreme was missing a pair of sunglasses on his face and a cigar in his mouth.

A lightning ferret fell from the air with a roar, its body covered with blood holes. Daoyuan Supreme reloaded the shotgun in his hand, turned around and pulled the gun again in mid-air. Another roar sounded in the trees, and another lightning ferret also fell from the air.
