A recurve bow is a bow that is different from the ordinary longbow in profile. The end of a recurve bow without bowstring bends outwards, hence the name "recurve". Another significant difference between a recurve bow and other bows is that the string of a winding recurve bow is in contact with its bow arm. Compared to a bow with the same straight arm, a recurve bow can store more energy, making it shoot arrows. With higher kinetic energy.
It is precisely because of this that the recurve bow is shorter and smaller than the ordinary straight bow, but it can still maintain great power. This advantage makes the recurve bow suitable for places where longer weapons are inconvenient to play, such as forests, horsebacks, and snowy weather like today.
But the recurve bow is not without its shortcomings. Relatively speaking, the traditional longbow with a straighter body will cause the effect of "stepping"—that is, the more the bow is pulled, the force of the bow and arrow will increase geometrically. The arm of a recurve bow will make the bow bear greater tension, and it will produce greater noise when shooting arrows, but if the degree of recursion is too large, the tension is too large, it will make the bowstring unstable, and even Will produce misses.
Cao Cheng calmly stretched the bowstring to check the strength of the bow arm. This recurve bow is made of special composite carbon steel properties. Compared with the traditional recurve bow, it can bear a further step. He gently let go, and the bowstring made a heavy blunt sound, faintly with a metal crash, as if someone had dropped a heavy iron block.
Cao Cheng nodded in satisfaction. "I will use this bow."
Li Yifeng asked Wang Xinmai: "Where are you Maizi? What weapon do you plan to choose?"
Wang Xinmai laughed, walked straight to the quiver, and picked up two big bags of titanium arrows. "I don't need a weapon. I will help Cao Cheng get the titanium arrow and wait to eat meat."
Titanium is a bright, light and strong material with a wide range of applications, expensive, but good value for money. Using titanium as an arrow undoubtedly adds infinite possibilities to dabbling.
In fact, the translation of the name Titanium is not appropriate. The original meaning of titanium is "the spirit of Titans", which symbolizes the metal attitude of not being afraid and going forward courageously. This is known as the "metal from outer space" is hard in texture, resistant to corrosion and high temperature, and will never turn black. It is also because of this characteristic that titanium is difficult to be processed by ordinary tools to make a titanium arrow, and the time and money it takes can be imagined.
But Li Yifeng didn't seem to stop Wang Xinmai from taking the quiver. He just shrugged and turned to Ling Dingyi and asked, "Brother Dingyi, do you want to try the recurve bow too?"
Ling Dingyi smiled and waved his hand, "Forget it, I know how many kilograms I have, but I don't have the arm strength of Cao Cheng, so I should pick a crossbow." Then, he picked up the crossbow one by one. Crossbow test weight.
Crossbow is a typical organ machine, mainly composed of crossbow arm, crossbow, bowstring and trigger. After the technological influence of modern firearms, this ancient archery tool has now become more destructive. Many people think that crossbows are better than bows, but in fact this idea is very one-sided. Crossbows are just more convenient and labor-saving. Just like the difference between a pistol and a dagger, a gun makes killing easier, but only by learning from a knife can you cultivate real awareness. This is why no killer dared to ignore the importance of the knife.
This is the relationship between crossbows and bows. Crossbows are very simple to use and do not require much effort, but without qualified consciousness, they will only be less effective than bows.
First of all, the loading time of the crossbow is much longer than that of the bow, and the range of the crossbow is far inferior to that of the bow and arrow with the same force of the bow arm. In ancient times, the bow has always been used as a necessary weapon for long-range attacks, but the crossbow is only suitable for medium and short-range shooting. Because of the crossbow arm, the special arrow of the crossbow is made short and thick. The tail does not have balanced feathers. The center of gravity is in the front part of the arrow. This forces the arrow to fall easily when flying in the air. Therefore, the powerful energy cannot be used. To maintain the relationship, one must aim at the deadly part of the opponent and shoot.
Of course, for beginners, these theories can be ignored. The crossbow has obvious advantages in the short and medium range, and you only need to move the red dot on the laser sight to the prey, and then pull the trigger.
Use little energy to do big things-this is very appetite for Ling Dingyi.
He picked a lightweight crossbow, and another crossbow bag. "Brother Yifeng, I will choose this one, I hope it won't hold you back."
"Brother Dingyi," Li Yifeng said: "This crossbow you are holding is a one-handed crossbow, although it can automatically load the arrow, the speed is also very fast, but the lethality is too weak." This kind of one-handed crossbow is snowy. The short shaft is easily blown away by the wind and snow.
"I'm here to join in the fun. Whether we can eat meat or not depends mainly on you." Ling Dingyi pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile.
Li Yifeng raised his head and smiled, "That's right, I'm here, I can't guarantee anything else, at least we can eat rabbits tonight." He grew up in Nanshan, and he is familiar with rabbit holes. The best thing is to shoot with a crossbow. Things like killing hares. As for the cunning animals like the snow fox, he can only grit his teeth and sigh.
These crossbows on the wall have been carefully adjusted by him, so he doesn't care which one to use. Therefore, after Ling Dingyi chose a light crossbow, he deliberately chose a heavy crossbow as a supplement to the team.
Lin Wanyu's eyes widened. She had only seen crossbows on TV before, and this was the first time she could touch a real object up close. She curiously touched a crossbow gun with complicated patterns and artistic sense, but did not pick it up. With her docile personality, it is impossible to take up weapons to hunt animals.
Suddenly, her gaze froze, and a large crossbow with an extremely exaggerated shape and a fairly obvious metallic texture appeared in her vision.
The giant crossbow is locked in a glass cabinet. The crossbow arm alone is as long as an adult’s arm. The sight on the crossbow is exactly the same as the laser sight of a sniper rifle. The bowstring is also tight. It doesn’t seem to need a crossbow bolt. The air blown out by the blow alone can kill people.
"Cousin Wanyu," Li Yifeng asked with a smile while expertly wiping off the heavy crossbow, "Which weapon do you like?"
Lin Wanyu pointed to the giant crossbow on the wall and asked, "Why is that crossbow so big?"
Li Yifeng raised his eyes to look at the giant crossbow in the glass cabinet, and said solemnly: "This crossbow belongs to the father."
Lin Wanyu was taken aback and asked softly, "Uncle... did he like hunting?" If she remembers correctly, there should be no woods in Nanshan when uncle was alive, let alone animals.
Li Yifeng smiled dumbly: "Father had a wish to be able to hunt in Nanshan. Unfortunately, when this wish was finally realized, he passed away. So I asked someone to customize this heavy crossbow specifically for his father to complete it. Last wish—"
Lin Wanyu nodded slightly, "Then does this crossbow have a name?"
Li Yifeng shrugged, "I really didn't think about it, or else cousin Wan Yu would choose a name for it."
Lin Wanyu pondered for a moment, "It's better to call the Blizzard Ballista."
Wang Xinmai echoed: "Today coincides with a snowstorm, and the shape of this crossbow is not like a gun, but more like a cannon. The name Blizzard Ballista is indeed very appropriate."
Li Yifeng nodded, "It's called the Blizzard Ballista. When I look back, I find a foreign crossbow maker to engrave this name with a laser—"
"Why use a laser?" Wang Xinmai asked.
Li Yifeng smiled, "Don't you think this crossbow is big, but it's actually very light. The entire bow is made of titanium alloy. Titanium alloy is so hard that it is difficult to engrave characters without laser."
Wang Xinmai curled his lips, "I knew this weapon was so good. Cao Cheng and I didn't choose the recurve bow."
Li Yifeng laughed, "Don't say you are, even I myself can't bear to use this crossbow. Cousin Wan Yu, if you want to use it, I would rather open the glass cabinet..."
Lin Wanyu waved her hand quickly, "No, no, I don't need anything—"
"Then you can't go hungry with Brother Luo." Li Yifeng made a worried expression.
Ling Dingyi took a sharp look at Li Yifeng, and asked with doubts: "Why do you go hungry with Brother Luo? Isn't Brother Luo a bodyguard? It should be stronger than us."
Li Yifeng replied: "The key is that Brother Luo only uses knives. On such a snowy night, hunting with knives is definitely going to be hungry. Cousin Wanyu, you still have time to apply for a team change. It's time for me and Dingyi's team. Come here, we promise to leave the roasted rabbit legs for you."
"It's not bad to come to our team!" Wang Xinmai said: "With Cao Cheng here, we certainly won't chew rabbit legs."
Lin Wanyu glanced at Luo Ye. Luo Ye was carrying his hand on his back and strolling casually in the weapon room.
"I believe Luo Ye will not let me go hungry." Lin Wanyu said confidently.
Luo Ye didn't turn his head back and said, "I can't guarantee that, I am not interested in hunting animals, let alone I have eaten enough."
"You—" Lin Wanyu wanted to pick up a crossbow gun and knock it on Luo Ye's head. "I don't believe you will really starve a lady."
Luo Ye shrugged, "Well, then, I will dedicate my fingers and let you instigate it."
"you!"
Luo Ye ignored Lin Wanyu's face full of shame and picked up two hunting knives. The hunting knife is not big, the blade is only ten centimeters in length, and the weight is average, but fortunately there is a blood tank.
Li Yifeng looked at Luo Ye in surprise, frowning and asked: "Brother Luo really intends to hunt with two hunting knives?" He always thought Luo Ye was joking.
Luo Ye weighed it in his hand, then let out a sigh of helplessness. "Make do with it. Fish bowl, are you sure you don't change teams?"
Lin Wanyu looked at Luo Ye's expression, her shoulders relaxed slightly. "OK, I can't eat it, and you don't want to eat it either, hum."
A smile appeared at the corner of Luo Ye's mouth. "Then let's go."
Several people picked up the equipment and left the weapon room talking and laughing.
After the door of the basement was closed, a slender shadow flashed into the weapon room, smashed open the glass cabinet, and picked up the "Blizzard Ballista"...
