1836, Mr. Greer, a London gun manufacturer, improved Captain Norton's projectile by adding a conical cork at the bottom.

Although the British military refused to adopt these two inventions, the French adopted a different attitude. 1849, Miner, France adopted Grenner's design and produced a powerful Minin projectile.

Claude Adine Miner, captain of the hunting party in Orleans, France.

The design of this bullet is absolutely historic. With the popularity of rifled guns with shooting accuracy much higher than that of muskets, ammunition loading has become a major problem that puzzles shooters all over the world. Because of the raised rifling in the barrel, it is difficult to load ammunition, which directly affects the firing rate and firing efficiency of the rifling rifle. However, the high shooting accuracy makes the shooters unable to give up, so you can see a group of elite shooters carrying mallets with them and hitting the ejection rod with mallets to load. It was the mini bomb that changed all this.

The appearance of mini-bombs has greatly improved the efficiency of shooters, and hot weapons have gradually become the protagonist of the war stage.

It can be said that the mini-bullet really made the rifling gun play a role, and the military leader Dupuy also believed that the invention of the mini-bullet had a far-reaching revolutionary impact. The most direct value of the mini-bomb is to improve the actual combat value of the rifled gun, which increases the shooter's shooting distance from 100 yards to 500 yards.

In the era of flintlock, grape bombs and shrapnel of artillery can easily surpass infantry, while enemy cavalry is still in a situation of 50-50 split in the confrontation with our infantry. However, in 186 1 year, the appearance of Minerva rifle broke the balance, and the efficient and long-range rifle made the white-edged fighting gradually withdraw from the historical stage.

In the Crimean War of 1854, a large number of British troops equipped with miners' rifles suffered less than 5,000 casualties on the battlefield, while the French army still using old muskets paid the price of 30,000 deaths.

Today's world has completely entered the modern war, and it is an indisputable truth of this era that hot weapons are king. Science and technology are indeed the primary productive forces. Under the continuous research, a large number of weapons unimaginable to predecessors have been born, such as biochemical weapons, molecular weapons and nuclear weapons. It goes without saying that the power of these weapons is natural. If war really strikes, these weapons that can easily destroy the earth will undoubtedly become the main force. However, in this era full of hot weapons, force is not proportional to strength, is cold weapons really useless?

In the early stage of the development of human society, tools and weapons were inseparable. With the complexity of society and the progress of technology, tools have naturally undergone various changes due to different uses, and weapons have a clearer definition at this time.

It is different from hunting equipment and tools: weapons refer to the equipment that people use force to fight. Except bows and arrows, there was no stable long-range vitality in ancient times. Based on the design concept of "one inch long and one inch strong", the development direction of cold weapons not only changes in materials, but also develops in a large area and high efficiency. After all, the outcome of the intersection of short soldiers is likely to depend on whose weapon that is one inch long.

Although there are some exaggerated elements in film and television works, length is very important in the era of cold weapons.

"Knives, spears, halberds, axes, forks, boring, sticks, whips, scissors, hammers, and shooting stars" are just a microcosm of cold weapons, and no one can tell exactly how many kinds of cold weapons there are on the real weapon shop. These weapons, which do not need thermal kinetic energy mechanical systems and modern technology, have shined brilliantly in the former battlefields. In particular, China is not only rich in manufacturing technology, but also specially designed various moves for cold weapons.

However, no matter how strong the moves are, it is difficult to stop the bullets. Don't be confused by the scenes in film and television works. In the real world, it is absolutely unrealistic to divide bullets with a knife. Even special players give priority to hot weapons. The reason for doing this is of course simple. With a lighter, why do you have to drill wood for fire every time you light a cigarette? Efficiency is everything. Obviously, this is a question of shooting down the shuttle. Why do you have to insert a bayonet and fight with each other to the death? Whether you admit it or not, hot weapons are much better than cold weapons in killing efficiency.

You can't be Ryan Reynolds, and you can't add 50 cents special effects, so you don't have to cut bullets with a knife.

Even if the efficiency is not high, these cold weapons have not become "tears of the times", but have become auxiliary weapons on the battlefield. Different from the real cold weapon period, cold weapons in modern warfare no longer need to be besieged and hurt countless enemies, but are more portable and light. First of all, the cost performance of cold weapons is extremely high, and the money for making a pistol is enough to make N military-grade daggers. And with the improvement of manufacturing level, the lethality of cold weapons must not be underestimated.

Cold weapons are also deadly, and many modern cold weapons can be killed with one blow through scientific design. For example, the army thorn with blood groove, many people do not understand the significance of this design, in fact, this design has many benefits. First of all, save materials and reduce the weight of blades. Don't ignore each bayonet just because it is small, quantitative change will cause qualitative change. When the quantitative base is sufficient, this number is equally amazing. Second, increase the strength of the blade. Why can a blood groove on the knife increase the strength of the blade? Try iron bars and thick iron pipes with the same diameter to see which one can bear more weight.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were blood grooves on Wu Yuechu's bronze sword, but the blood grooves on the sword were mainly on both sides of the sword ridge, or both ridges, while the blood grooves on the ring-headed knife were on the back of the knife.

The third and most important thing is to balance the pressure and bloodletting. If a knife without a blood groove is not pulled out after it is pierced into the human body, it will not cause massive bleeding for the time being, and it can still survive in time. After a knife with a blood groove is pierced, it will bleed or even spray blood along the blood groove, resulting in rapid and massive blood loss and death.

In the game CODOL with the real war as the background, the stab of saber is naturally covered with all kinds of blood slots.

After a knife without a blood groove penetrates into the human body, the force of sucking the knife into the body will be generated due to the internal pressure of the human body and the external atmospheric pressure. In addition, when the knife penetrates the human body, it will stimulate the nerves to feel pain, and the nerves will order the muscles of the injured part to tighten immediately to reduce bleeding, which is also an instinct of self-protection, so the knife without blood groove will be tightly wrapped and difficult to pull out. After the muscle is tightened, the knife with blood groove will not be completely wrapped because of the groove, and the air inside and outside is communicated, so it will not produce the force of sucking the knife inward, so it is easy to pull out.

Have you ever seen the scene of spraying blood? Stabbing on all sides will let you know what bleeding is.

We can see that cold weapons are very lethal and light and compact. Although they will not become the main weapons in modern wars, their status is irreplaceable. When performing some assassination and stealth tasks, the effect of cold weapons is much better than expected. After all, the chance of a broken blade is much smaller than that of a bullet, and there is no ammunition limit, so cold weapons can fight a protracted war. Don't believe some scenes in the movie, even if there is a silencer, it can't completely eliminate the sound and fire, but if there is a crossbow when stabbing, it is completely different. You can underestimate your enemy without making any noise, and you don't have to worry that firing will expose yourself. Crossbows can also be recycled to save ammunition.

Although there will be no walkers, the film well explains the silent effect and good lethality of crossbows.

Machinery will always break down, the more sophisticated the design, the more so, but cold weapons generally do not have such criticism. It's like a conversation between soldiers and officers in Starfleet: "Sir, I don't understand. In a nuclear war, we only need to press a button to solve the battle. Why practice daggers? " The officer turned and nailed the soldier's hand tightly to the wall with a dagger and said to him, "If the enemy's palm is injured, you can't press the button." We can see how high the success rate of cold weapons can be.

The biggest advantage of cold weapons is that they are not easy to make mistakes.

Of course, under special circumstances, cold weapons also have strong combat capability, such as night fighting in the jungle. In this environment, the gun completely loses its position and may also hurt teammates. This is an army thorn with a black blade. If the technology is good, it will definitely be the enemy's lingering nightmare. Of course, some cold weapons are more auxiliary. You can put the compass in the empty slot of the dagger handle, use the bayonet in your hand to open cans instead of the can opener, or use the military shovel in your hand to cook.

Our soldiers are frying eggs with military shovels.

Of course, in addition to being used as a means of assassination and desperate struggle after running out of ammunition, the cold weapon training on weekdays also plays an important role in training soldiers' temperament.

In peacetime, the combat training with real knives and guns can keep soldiers bloody, which is absolutely impossible for firearms training.

This hand-to-hand combat in CODOL is no different from a real war, which requires your excellent observation and great courage.

Some people say that with the development of science, cold weapons will slowly and truly die out, and future wars will develop towards automation. These weapons that can't greatly reduce the enemy's right to speak in a short time are difficult to use. But the author's point of view is different. Although the future war will be dominated by long-range wars, whoever has higher technology and stronger electronic jamming ability will naturally take the lead in the war. But we can't predict what science will develop in the future. Just like Bell in 1876, we can't imagine that the phone will become like this after 150, and we can't predict the future.

Although it can't be blessed by the Force, it should be able to make a lightsaber.

Perhaps in the future, the weapons we often see in science fiction movies will really exist, such as high-frequency swords, power hammers, molecular vibrating knives and so on. However, these weapons should not be directly used by ordinary soldiers. If the brain is wide open, we will guess that the future human soldiers may really use a set of advanced equipment to join the battle like Kabbah in "Strong Armor", and these cold weapons may play an incalculable role at that time.

This kind of colonization with high-frequency sword is likely to appear in future wars.

By then, in addition to a large-scale weapons war, these well-equipped soldiers will also go into battle. Similarly, the finer the weapons they carry, the more likely they are to break down. If the lethality of some cold weapons can reach a certain height under the impetus of science and technology, then it is not unreasonable to assemble one of these advanced weapons as a sub-weapon on a large scale in the future. In doing so, at the very least, the main weapon will not be completely scrapped because of its failure, and there will never be too many such things as combat effectiveness.

Maybe with our present technology, we can already make a gravity hammer, but the human body doesn't need it yet.

Cold weapons have opened the curtain of human war, promoted the continuous evolution of science, and in turn promoted the evolution of cold weapons. Although the evolution of the times makes cold weapons gradually withdraw from the main stage, these once arrogant killers are emitting their own unique brilliance in their respective fields. I firmly believe that cold weapons have a better future.
