Minie rifle The Minie rifle (also translated as Minie rifle, below, Minie can be translated as Minie) is a front-loading rapid-fire gun developed around 1849 by the inventors of the Minie bullet, Captain Claude Etienne Minié and Captain Henri-Gustave Delvigne of the French Chasseurs de Orleans. When the French army was fighting against the Algerian revolutionaries on the North African battlefield, they found that although their rifles were much better than their opponents in terms of workmanship, they could not sustain intense firepower. Based on this, Migne and others boldly improved the French rifles. A new type of rifle bullet, the Minie bullet, was created. In order to match this bullet, Minie and others developed a new rifle after repeated design, which is the famous Minie rifle. The emergence of the Migne rifle heralded the official arrival of the era of rifled guns as mass equipment for infantry. Chinese name Minié Rifle Foreign name Minié Rifle Also translated Minié Rifle Invention Minié Materials Head column lead bullet Reason for appearance Before the appearance of the Minié rifle, the smoothbore gun was a practical weapon, while the rifled gun was only an experimental weapon. The main problem with rifled guns is that due to the rifling, it is difficult for front-loaded bullets to maintain air-locking properties in the barrel, greatly reducing their power. In order to achieve good air-holding properties, rifled gun bullets are often made with the same caliber or even slightly larger than the gun caliber, so loading is extremely laborious. It is often necessary to use a hammer to hit the ejector rod to push the bullet into place, which often results in a more dangerous bore rupture. When the bullet is advanced to the medicine chamber, it is often deformed due to rough operation and cannot achieve the killing effect. But the emergence of the Minie rifle solved these problems. Migne Bullet Introduction The Migne rifle uses the round-head cylindrical lead bullet invented by Migne. Since this type of bullet is slightly smaller than the caliber of a rifle, it solves the problem of being too large to fit into the barrel or blocking the barrel when loading bullets in the front of old rifles. Mini bullets can be easily pushed into the barrel of the gun with the ejector rod. This greatly increases the rate of fire. The bullet is threaded around the projectile to match the rifling, and the middle of the thread is filled with animal oil. The base of the bullet uses cork material. When shooting, the gunpowder gas impacts the cork, and the cork suddenly expands the bullet after the instant impact. Because the bullet is stretched, the bullet itself can be relied upon to complete the sealing of the chamber at the moment of launch without leaking gunpowder gas and causing the bullet's kinetic energy to be lost. This solves the chamber sealing problem of the old muzzle-loading gun, and greatly enhances the gun's rate of fire, range and safety (good sealing will not easily cause gunpowder residue to clog the barrel and cause the chamber to explode). After these problems are solved, the power of the rifled gun will be fully demonstrated. The equipment of the Migne rifled gun greatly enhanced the firepower of the French army. The Migne rifle is equipped with a safety lock to prevent misfire. The whole gun weighs 4.8 Kg. Caliber 17.8 Mm. Each bullet weighs 32.4 Grams. The killing distance can reach 918 meters, and accurate hits can be guaranteed within 550 meters. The Migne rifle was quite powerful at the time. Tests conducted in 1849 found that the Minie rifle could penetrate two two-thirds-inch-thick poplar boards at 15 yards, separated by 20 inches. Due to the huge power and strong firepower of this rifle, rumors suddenly claimed that the Miner rifle could penetrate a person with one shot and then penetrate anyone within 15 meters of its trajectory. In 1846, French chasseurs used the Minie rifle in combat for the first time in Africa. It was also used to a small extent in the Crimean War. When the American Civil War broke out, the Minie rifle quickly became the standard equipment of both armies due to its huge lethality.

The author's invention of guns and forts is all childish. If you really want to write about protecting the Ming Dynasty, I suggest you invent the atomic bomb.

Okay, the author officially announced that the eunuch is here, let's disperse

Chongzhen has hanged himself, so the protagonist still wants to follow the court route? I'm also drunk. It's really funny to see these time traveler protagonists. They talk about all kinds of superiority, but what they actually do is not as good as the bandits in troubled times 😅

To be honest, Nan Ming is not worth saving at all; but let's save it first and see what happens next.

Eunuch 🙂

After Mi Niang finished the book as an engineer in the late Ming Dynasty, he said that he would work harder. Why didn't he even write the book now? If the book is not finished, he could open another book. This is normal, but why didn't he just stop writing it?

Well! It's a pity that the collection is too small, so I have to take leave on November 1st, the day when it should be put on the shelves! He must be a eunuch! What a pity for the author. It would have been great if you had written the second book directly after writing about Engineers in the Late Ming Dynasty! It happened that I wrote it after a year! Although I still remember you, you have been forgotten by most people!!!

Why does the author stop writing books? How sad does this make your fans?

In order to pursue this book and support the author, I went from reading pirated copies to paying money to read the original version, but the author turned out to be a eunuch. Have no choice!
