When they heard that Tang En was going to test the new gun with Master Clotho, Nokia and the others, who were working hard on the magic pistol, immediately put down their work and rushed to the test field outside.
Although it was called a test field, it was actually just a spacious open space with some targets made with earth-type spells.
"This is the Pygmy Gun that has been combined with your inspiration and redesigned by my genius brain!"
Clotho took out the new Pygmy Gun, paused for a moment, and then proudly said, "I call it the Destroyer!"
Destroyer?
Tang En laughed in his heart, then carefully observed the gun in Clotho's hand.
The structure of the assault rifle was not quite the same as the one he remembered. The Pygmy Engineering process was obviously rougher, and it could not fit perfectly. Moreover, the gun itself was filled with a primitive and wild steampunk style.
Tang En had clearly told him all the key points, but after combining it with the local technology of Prandal, the final product was such a freak. This made Tang En feel very strange.
"Have you tested it?"
"Yes."
Clotho took out another box, and when Tang En opened it, he saw that it was filled with glistening yellow bullets. Clotho had really followed his instructions and used copper to forge the bullets, but the warheads were not made of lead.
Tang En thoughtfully took out the bullets and examined them. The impact trigger at the tail was larger than expected, but it was understandable. The Pygmies had not yet grasped the key points of processing, so it was difficult to reach the level of technology on Earth. However, as the number of bullets produced increased, the production efficiency and technology would also increase.
Next to it was a magazine designed according to Tang En's inspiration. The spring provided by Ellington played a very important role in this magazine. Clotho spent a lot of effort to solve the problem of continuous firing.
In other words, with Tang En's help, the Pygmy Gun had leaped from the previous single-shot model to the magazine model, directly skipping more than a hundred years of development. According to the Pygmies' endless crooked technology tree, if Tang En did not give them some inspiration, this development would probably take even longer.
Tang En neatly loaded the magazine, then loaded it. Without hesitation, he aimed at the target more than a hundred meters away and pulled the trigger.
"Da da da —"
A series of deafening gunshots suddenly rang out. The muzzle spewed out scorching flames, and the bullets were pushed out of the gun by the powerful Pygmy Gunpowder, whistling through the targets in the distance.
The loud sound made the elven ladies, who had sensitive hearing, feel slightly uncomfortable, but they quickly adapted to the sound. they looked at the gun in Tang En's hand with a little surprise.
Clotho was also very familiar with it. it was clearly a new weapon. Clotho was a new weapon. How could Tang En use it?
From the looks of it, he seemed to have used it thousands of times, so he could understand how to use it immediately after holding it in his hand.
Of course, Tang En had never used a gun on Earth. But after watching so many movies, even a fool would know how to use one.
After a round of shooting, the targets were all smashed into pieces. Smelling the smell of gunpowder in the air, Tang En felt a sense of satisfaction.
"Two shortcomings."
Tang En handed the gun to Clotho and said, "Don't design the ejection port of the cartridge case to be at the back. It will occasionally pop up in the face. Second, the shooting error is too large. The barrel needs to be improved. While increasing stability, the noise will also be reduced."
Clotho hurriedly noted it down. "Anything else?"
With Tang En's pitiful knowledge, how many effective suggestions could he come up with? It was already very good that he could think of these two points. But after seeing Clotho's thirsty eyes, he racked his brains and thought for a while. Then, he said very seriously, "There's one more thing. The new gun needs a safety. If someone accidentally pulls the trigger, it's very easy to accidentally shoot and injure others."
"Safety? Understood! "
Clotho immediately understood what Tang En meant. Several plans instantly appeared in his mind.
"By the way, this gun can no longer be called a gun. I think it's more appropriate to call it an assault rifle."
"But I've already named it the Destroyer …"
"That's the name. This is the type of weapon."
Tang En thought for a while and said patiently, "Think about it. If you reduce the firing speed of the assault rifle, increase the length and stability of the barrel, increase the gunpowder capacity of the bullet, and increase the size of the warhead, thereby increasing the range and power, wouldn't it be another type of weapon? In my idea, this weapon can kill enemies from a thousand meters away! "
"A thousand meters away!?"
Clotho's eyes widened in surprise. "Can it really be done? Wouldn't it be the same as a mage's method? "
"More or less. It's just that the attack method is different."
Tang En waved his hand and continued, "Let's change our way of thinking. If we shrink the whole gun, the capacity of the magazine, and integrate it with the handle, all the parts will be miniaturized, and the gun will become a very portable small weapon. Wouldn't it be another type of weapon? Do you think it's appropriate to call such a weapon a gun? "
Clotho shook his head.
"So, it's decided."
Tang En waved his hand and confirmed the naming rules for the new gun. The assault rifle officially appeared in Prandal.
"Although shooting at a target can test the feel of it, the power can't be clearly felt. So, I'll be the target next, and you'll shoot me with the gun."
Tang En walked straight to the front and said to Clotho, "Come on."
"Are you sure? The Destroyer's power is very strong! "
Brian picked his nose and said, "I think it'll be very difficult for it to hurt Big Bro."
Thus, Clotho no longer hesitated and immediately fired.
"Da da da —"
After concentrating, Tang En could clearly see the tongues of flame spewing out of the muzzle and the warhead flying out of the muzzle. The warhead quickly approached him in the air, and then —
"Ding ding ding —"
A cold aura emitted from Tang En's body, and the Ice Armor automatically activated. While the warhead was completely frozen, it was also blocked by a repulsive force, and its speed suddenly slowed down.
Tang En pinched a warhead and raised his eyebrows. Although his face was calm, he was still very surprised.
The pygmy gunpowder was very powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so explosive after being made into bullets. He originally thought that the bullet would bounce off his skin, but he didn't expect it to even activate the Ice Armor.
This showed that the power of this bullet could already pose a threat to mages to a certain extent.
Clotho put down the gun and said in admiration, "Mages are indeed powerful."
"The power of this gun is also not bad."
Tang En walked back and said, "It can activate my Ice Armor. This gun can at least kill a fourth-level magical beast."
"Kill a fourth-level magical beast!?"
Edgar was shocked. "Then if it can be mass-produced, wouldn't we, Ellington's people, no longer have to worry about being harassed by magical beasts?"
"That's right, but are we still afraid of magical beasts now?"
Tang En looked at Edgar speechlessly. Was this guy still living in the past?
Edgar scratched his head awkwardly. Ever since Brian and Nokia each brought a group of people to the research institute, his presence had become weaker and weaker.
Tang En thought for a moment and said to Clotho, "If you're going to mass-produce assault rifles, I need to buy a batch."
"Why do you want to buy this?"
Clotho was stunned. "Your soldiers don't seem to need it, right? Although it can deal with fourth-level magical beasts, I'm afraid that even a silver-level Apocalypse wouldn't bother to use this assault rifle. "
"That's why my soldiers haven't advanced to silver-level yet."
Tang En smiled. "This kind of weapon is a very good means of attacking and replenishing."
"Well, since you're willing, I have no reason not to sell it to you."
Clotho reached out his hand. "Happy cooperation."
"Happy cooperation."
The power of assault rifles was indeed impressive. Although silver-level Apocalypse and most Mages were not afraid of bullets, the cannon fodder was. Using guns to clean up cannon fodder was much more efficient than using swords and sabers.
Although Tang En had created the Magical Pistols, mass production of the Magical Pistols was still a problem, and there was no way to quickly deploy them to every warrior. Assault rifles, on the other hand, were different. With the industrial power of the Pygmy Kingdom, mass production was a simple matter.
Most importantly, assault rifles were different from magic-powered pistols.
Assault rifles dealt physical damage, while Mana Pistols dealt magical damage, which was a type of magical damage.
Among defensive spells, armor-type spells such as Rock Armor, Ice Armor, Lava Armor, Storm Armor, and Mana Armor were used to increase one's defense and resist physical damage.
As for shield-type spells such as Earth Shield, Frost Shield, Fire Shield, Thunder Shield, Arcane Shield, and Magic Suppression, they were used to absorb the corresponding spell damage.
Because of the difference between armor and shield spells, the way of attack had to be treated differently.
That was also the reason why Tang En had created the magic pistol after reminding Clotho to create the assault rifle.
Imagine, after equipping two types of weapons, facing the charge of the enemy cavalry on the battlefield, when there were still a few hundred meters left, Tang En's Warriors would take out their assault rifles and fire with the Rangers. After getting rid of most of the cannon fodder, the enemy would continue to approach. Then, they would switch to their magic energy pistols and fire a round of spells before activating other spells to increase their combat state.
Then, when the remaining enemies approached, they would put away their magic pistols and pick up their greatswords and shields before rushing forward to harvest the enemy like chopping vegetables.
An army equipped with a variety of long-range, physical, magic, and melee attacks. If they could gain air supremacy on this basis …
This would be an invincible army of kings!
