Allenlarged meetingendedtwodayslater, Iron Axereceived the instruction of newweapontest fireagain.
全体扩大会议结束两天后,铁斧再一次接到了新武器试射的指令。Becausenorthwest sidemaybe attackedbyEvil Beastanytime, therefore the newtarget rangehas been located in the Scarlet Water Riveropposite shore, whenIron Axerushes, personal guard of princeperipheralhas enclosed the hemp rope and redflag the open area, andhas established the sentry postinsteelbridgetwo, forbidding the irrelevantpersonnelto pass.
由于西北面随时有可能遭受邪兽攻击,所以新的靶场设在了赤水河对岸,当铁斧赶到时,王子的亲卫已经将空地周边围起了麻绳和红色旗帜,并在钢铁大桥两头设置了哨卡,禁止无关人员通过。Obviously, your highness'stesttothisweaponregards as important.
显然,殿下对这次武器的测试十分看重。
The half stepwalksinsnow that the depthvaries, when looks at the guardto the friendlyvision that hecasts, Iron Axecannot help butis remembering the firstparticipationflintlockhas fired the scene. At that timewere onlyunknownforeignerSandpeople, the Greycastlepeoplealwaysshows the suspicion and vigilantlooktohim, even ifoccupiedfiveyears in small town, movedsurroundinghunterbyexquisiteArchery, butleft the old estate, no onewill look athisoneeyes.
快步走在深浅不一的积雪里,望着侍卫向他投来的友善目光,铁斧不由得想起了第一次参与火枪试射时的情景。那时候自己只是一位名不见经传的异族沙民,灰堡民众总对他露出怀疑和警惕的神色,哪怕在小镇里居住了五年之久,以一手精湛的箭术打动了周围的猎户,但出了旧区,谁也不会多看他一眼。Hisoriginallythinksoneselfhave lived in seclusionby the hunterstatusinthisbarren land, does not pass awayon the bed, diesunder the sharp claws of Evil Beastorprey, has not thought that your highnessactuallywill settle onasSandpeople, but alsoletownexperienceto a day of fire and Thunderstrength.

Whatis more accidental, becausejustyour highnesstreats the witchmanner, hestillonce moresaw the Brave Sand Clansuccessorinsmall town, SirDrow Silvermoon, made up for this to have the biggestregret. Regardingthistrust and recognition, as well asto the compensation of owndestiny, Iron Axealreadysworeinbottom of heart,offersown to thisnewmaster.
他原本以为自己会以猎户的身份一直隐居在这块贫瘠之地,不是老死在床上,就是死于邪兽或猎物的利爪之下,没想到殿下竟然会看中身为沙民的自己,还让自己见识到了天火与雷霆的力量。接下来的转变快得令他目不暇接,从组建民兵队奋力抵抗邪兽,到边陲镇第一军成立,他由猎户队队长一跃成为第一军总指挥。更令人意外的是,正因为殿下对待女巫的态度,他还在小镇再次见到了傲沙氏族的继承人,卓尔.银月大人,弥补了他此生最大的遗憾。对于这份信任和赏识,以及对自己命运的补偿,铁斧早已在心底立誓,将自己的一切奉献给这位新的主人。Approached the test facilitycenter, Iron Axeto see the form of Your HighnessRoland, slightlywhatmakinghimfeel the accident/surprisewas, besidesyour highnessandChief Knightand the others, severalSleeping Islandwitch.
走近试验场中央,铁斧见到了罗兰殿下的身影,令他稍感意外的是,除了殿下和首席骑士等人外,还有好几名沉睡岛女巫。„Your highness, Iron Axereportedtoyou!”Hegoes forwardtwosteps, saidtoward the princegoodmilitary salute.
“殿下,铁斧向您报道!”他上前两步,朝王子行军礼道。
The latternods, „, since the personwere in attendance, wecanstart.”Hesends toIron Axeandintwolong-barrelled guns the Carterhand, „thisis one of my newly-developedweapon, but also is in the modeltrial-manufacture stage, the quantityis limited, triesin turn.”
后者点点头,“既然人都到齐了,我们可以开始了。”他将两杆长枪发到铁斧和卡特手中,“这是我新研制的武器之一,还处于在原型试制阶段,数量有限,轮流来试试吧。”Iron Axelooked at carefullynewspear/gun-- in handcarefullyitscontourandrevolving rifleis quite similar, the onlydifferencelies in the loadspot: The newgunsdo not have the cylinder.铁斧仔细端详了一遍手中的新枪——它的外形和转轮步枪极为相似,唯一不同之处在于装弹部位上:新枪支没有弹巢。Hehas gawkedstaring, thisspear/gun is the same with the earliestFlintlock, needsto fill in the ballfrom the barrel?
他愣了愣,难道这支枪和最早的燧发枪一样,需要从枪管前端填弹?„Itsnamewas calledbolt action rifle,”was goodbecause ofyour highnessanswersquickly, „bullethas usednewestsmokelessdouble-base propellant, the caliberwas8millimeters, althoughwas lower than10millimetersrevolving rifle, but the mightwas instead bigger.”Heturnednear the spear's/gun's body, „ammunitioninsertsfrom the triggerfront, eachclipcaninsertfiverounds of bullets, butitcannotfirelikerevolving riflecontinuously, needsmanualto ejectwithloading.”
“它的名字叫栓动步枪,”好在殿下很快解释道,“子弹采用了最新的无烟双基发射*药,口径为8毫米,虽然低于10毫米的转轮步枪,但威力反而更大。”他将枪身翻了个边,“弹药从扳机前方插入,每一个子弹夹可以嵌入五发子弹,不过它并不能像转轮步枪那样连续击发,需要手动退壳和上膛。”According to the demonstration of His Highness the Prince, Iron Axeunderstood the operating procedure of newriflequickly, andlifted gunto fire a strength of clipbullet--newspear/gunto be large, deducted the triggereach time, hecanfeel the hit of butttoshoulder . Moreover the sound was also much more resonant than revolver.
按照王子殿下的演示,铁斧很快明白了新步枪的操作方法,并且举枪试射了一夹子子弹——新枪的劲头颇大,每次扣下扳机,他都能感受到枪托对肩部的撞击,而且声响也比转轮枪嘹亮得多。Fivespears/gunsshoot, henotes the muzzlefrontalmostnot to have the mist and dust, ifchanges into the old stylerifle, the smog that fiverounds of bulletsspoutcamouflagedsufficientlycompletely the line of sight. Thisprobablyisyour highnessso-called„smokelessammunition”merit, however the gunsitselfdo not havewhatunique merit, compared with the hugedisparity between revolverandFlintlock, the new-stylerifledid not sayhas not progressed, Iron Axeeventhinksitsmight as wellrevolver. The most obviousplacelies , the rate of fireslowed down.
五枪射完,他注意到枪口前方几乎没有烟尘,若是换成老式步枪,五发子弹喷出的烟雾足以将视线全部遮蔽住了。这大概就是殿下所谓的“无烟弹药”的功劳,然而枪支本身并没有什么独特之处,比起转轮枪与燧发枪之间的巨大差距,新式步枪不说没有进步,铁斧甚至觉得它还不如转轮枪。最明显的地方就在于,射速变慢了。
After comparing the aiminggoal , the former that canfirecontinuously, the newspear/gunwhenstanding the fireis quite inconvenient, on after manualball, holds up the spear's/gun's bodyalso to aim, thisprocesswantsonquickmanycompared with the Flintlockfreely, whenneedsto suppressin a short timeenemy--for examplecleans upLongsong Strongholdrebellionnoble, in the corneror the room the eruptionshort distancemeeting engagement, the newriflewas inferior that revolverwas so easy-to-use.
相较瞄准目标后可以连续击发的前者,新枪在站立射击时极为不便,手动上弹后举起枪身还得重新瞄准,这个过程尽管比燧发枪要快上许多,但需要短时间内压制敌人——例如清理长歌要塞叛乱贵族时,在街角或屋内爆发近距离遭遇战,新步枪就远不如转轮枪那么好用了。
After Iron Axe1510owntest firefeeling said that Carteralsoexpressed the similarview.铁斧1510将自己的试射感受说出来后,卡特也表达了同样的看法。
The princenods saying that „indeeditwas inferiorrevolveris so convenient, but the merit is also very significant. Andrea, youdemonstrate,”hehands overin a rifle the witchhand, „remembers that the useabilityfires.”
王子点头道,“的确它不如转轮枪那样便捷,不过优点也十分明显。安德莉亚,你来演示一下,”他将一把步枪交到女巫手中,“记得使用能力射击。”„Yeah,”golden hairwitchreceived the guns, skilledhitchloading, could see that sheis notfirsttimecontactsthisweapon, „favored!”
“嗯哼,”金发女巫接过枪支,熟练的拉栓上膛,看得出她并不是第一次接触这把武器,“看好了!”Along withthreeear-spittinggunshots, Iron Axediscoveredwith amazement,placesdrops downin the threewoodentargets of mostdistant placein turn the--bulletnot onlyhas hitonly then the goal of nailsize, but alsohitspotortargetbelowerecting pole.
随着三声震耳的枪响,铁斧惊讶地发现,摆放在最远处的三块木靶依次倒下——子弹不仅击中了只有指甲大小的目标,而且命中的部位还是靶子下方的立杆。Mustknow that theyleave the distance of targetat least over 400meters!
要知道他们离标靶的距离至少在400米以上!„Your highness, thisis......”Carterdoes not dareto believeto say.
“殿下,这是……”卡特不敢置信道。„The Andreabranchabilitymakesherbe able the accuratehittarget, regardless ofweapon in handis the bowor the spear/gun,”princesaid with a smile, „itsby no meansdirect roleoncrossbowarroworbullet, butgrasped--toaccurate of weaponperformancein other words, the stone that ifthrewbyoneself, it is estimated that can only hit about tenmeterstarget, butthrew, ifonlybird, thenverypossibleanything unable to hit.”
“安德莉亚的分支能力让她能够精准的命中目标,无论手中的武器是弓还是枪,”王子笑道,“不过它并非直接作用在弩矢或子弹上,而是对武器性能的准确掌握——换句话说,如果是靠自己投掷的石头,估计只能击中十米左右的靶子,而投出去的若是只飞鸟,则很可能什么也命中不了。”„Yourmeaningis...... The average peoplewantafter the training, canbethisdegree?”
“您的意思是……普通人只要经过训练,也能达到这个程度?”„Right, thisis the bolt action riflebiggestmerit, itnotbecauseblow-by between cylinderandbarrel, thuscauses the firing distance and precisiongreatlyenhances.”Rolandnods, „aftermatching the telescopic sights, even ifinordinarysoldierhand, cankillabout the 400-500 metersenemyaccurately, but the revolveradjusted firedistance was still less thanhundredmeters.”
“没错,这就是栓动步枪的最大优点,它不会因为弹巢和枪管之间的缝隙漏气,从而使射程和精确度大大提高。”罗兰点点头,“当搭配上瞄准镜后,即使在普通士兵手中,也能准确击毙四五百米左右的敌人,而转轮枪的精确射击距离尚不到百米。”Iron Axeunderstoodimmediately this weaponfearfulplace, most peoplewill not guardin the sneak attack that inthisdistanceinitiates, so long ashidesin the common people residenceorin the high ground, canclaim the important targetlifeeasily, if Lady Nightingalehas, almostnobodycanguard against the bullet that projectsfrom the corner.铁斧顿时明白了这把武器的可怕之处,大多数人都不会提防在这个距离上发起的偷袭,只要藏身于民居或高地之中,就能轻易夺走重要目标的性命,如果是夜莺大人持有的话,几乎没人能防备从角落里射出的子弹。„Your highness, when youreach an agreementand other volume productionmustdelivermeone,”Andreacovers the mouthto say.
“殿下,您说好等批量生产时要送我一把的哦,”安德莉亚掩嘴道。„Naturally,”Rolandtakes backtworifles, arrivesin additionone side, the cloth that will stick outtogetheropened, „in fact, bolt action rifleis the pretestwheting the appetiteside dish, thisthingis the key point of todayfiring.”
“当然,”罗兰将两把步枪收回,走到另一旁,将一块隆起的布匹揭开,“事实上,栓动步枪不过是测试前的开胃小菜,这东西才是今天试射的重点。”Whencovers upwhenlinenbelowweaponreveals the true body, Iron Axelikedits--instantaneouslycompared with the rifle that using the wooden handle and iron pipeput together, thisnewflintlockwas all over the body jet black, as ifwhole bodywas constitutedby the metal, the volume was also much huger, in additionbelowtraingulated arrangement of support, abouthalfpersonwas almost high. long barrelhashalfwrist/skillto be thick or thinfully, the brightly burnishedbullethangsin a striped clothdensely and numerouslytakes, connectswithLarge receiver, no matteritscontouror the stance, were entirely different from formerweapon.
当遮掩在麻布下方的武器露出真身时,铁斧瞬间就喜欢上了它——比起用木柄和铁管拼成的步枪,这架新火枪通体漆黑,仿佛全身上下都由金属构成,体积也庞大得多,加上下方的三角支架,差不多近半人高。长长的枪管足有半个手腕粗细,锃亮的子弹密密麻麻挂在一条布带上,与宽大的枪身连接,不管是其外形还是架势,都与之前的武器截然不同。
