Survival in Another World With My Master

Episode 187 - Training the Musketeers

I can hear gunshots splitting my ears all the time. It's like the roar of a beast.

"Fooooooooooo!!

Like a roar ─ ─.

"Uhhhhhh!!

Roar ─ ─.

"Hahahaaa!!

"Really the roar of the beast!

I screamed and stepped on the dungeon without thinking.

No, I don't. Were you heartbroken that you would provide too powerful a weapon to unilaterally kill the Holy King's army? You didn't want to force them to do that, did you?

"Taiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!

That's what you see! The samurai's face is releasing the frustration that the bolt action rifle didn't shoot many idiots. Besides, he always fires with a bipod. Is that your shoulder or something? You have recoil control? Oh, no problem at all? I see.

Speaking of which, your physical abilities were chaotic compared to those of the original world. Even Jagira, which looks fine at first glance, is slightly more powerful than me. That way, you can easily swing a generic machine gun over 11kg.

"It's not a good idea to hang around a belt with bullets."

"... yes"

I took out the drum magazine from the inventory and handed it to Jagila, who was complaining.

"Hmm? How do you use this?"

"This one."

and how to use a drum magazine that can load 50 rounds of bullets. This drum magazine feels like a round ammo box that can be attached to a machine gun. When it is wrapped around in a round container, it only holds a wound belt, and the loading method is exactly the same.

"Hmm, it's short and long. If you want to use it calmly, use the belt as it is from the ammunition box, and if you want to fight around, I wonder which one of these is better."

I see. If you hang a bullet belt and rub it against the ground, it could get dirt and mud on the bullet and cause malfunction. "

"That's right. So you're giving us something like this? You're gonna hit us with something like this."

That's what it's gonna be like.

It is obvious that Jagila's words are true when she sees the weapon she gave me no matter what she answers here, so she stopped bothering me.

"Well, don't worry, I'm not going to put you in a dangerous zone on foot. I'm coming, too."

"Really? Well, if I had Koske, I'd do anything."

I'll take care of the ammunition supply.

In fact, ammunition is still in mass production today. The recent discovery of a large amount of gunpowder raw material in a cave near Arihibourg makes it unlikely that we will be disappointed in gunpowder for long.

What is that? This is a deposit of a giant bat hun that lives in a cave. I mean, poop. It's good for fertilizers, too, yeah.

As for metal-based resources, Grande is taking them to the mountains and mining guns while they are waiting to manufacture weapons and ammunition, so there is no need to worry about depletion for now.

"With regard to the method of replacing and reloading the barrel, this is the next one to be trained with special care."

And the next thing I took out of the inventory was the airboard. It is not a prototype I made, but an advance mass production type that has been repeatedly experimented and renovated by the face of the R&D department.

"What is this?

"It's an airboard. With one magic crystal, it has the mobility to run from the rear hub to Arihiburg in one day."

"Hmm!? A day from the rear hub!?

"That's right. Moreover, any evil road can be broken. The bumpy grasslands and wilderness are totally fine. Not in the woods."

The appearance of the air board of the preceding mass production type was like cutting the lower half of the pickup truck and mounting it on the board, and mounting a cylindrical propulsion device on the left and right sides. Looks like only the pilot's seat is covered in armor.

"It certainly feels kind of like a carriage... but where are the wheels?

There are no wheels on this airboard.

That said, I installed a machine gun on the gun rack that was installed on the rear part of the cargo bay of the advance mass production airboard. This rack holds 250 rounds of iron ammunition boxes in place, allowing you to shoot machine-guns smoothly without the help of a loader.

I really wanted to install a rotatable turret, but I had to abandon the heavy and technical aspects. Well, if you open the lid, the front of the samurai squad could swing the machine gun lightly without using a gun rack or the like, so there was no need to be so attached to the revolving turret. I now wonder if the gun rack should simply be attached to both sides and rear of the carrier to secure the ammunition box.

It is thought that the constraints from the weight side can be handled by increasing the output of the flotation device or increasing the number of flotation devices, but now it is a prerequisite to have a certain number, and either way, the time to balance the buoyancy and thrust has been missed.

"All right, let's do the test run. As an archer, get Jagira and one more person on board to assist with loading and barrel changes. The rest of you, gather here and wait."

Jagila and a small squirrel beast stepped into the cargo bay on my instructions, and the rest of the crew solidified at the designated waiting point. I'm going to show you how to shoot while I'm on the move, so I won't be able to catch my eye in case of an accident.

"Jagila should fit this Wieburn leather glove to replace the barrel. If you shoot 250 shots a box, replace the barrel. You will have Jagila reload while she replaces the barrel. Find out how to secure the ammo box and how to load it. I don't think it will shake very much, but don't throw it out because it feels like you're pulling your body in the opposite direction to the direction you're trying to bend."

"Yeah."

Copy that.

Squirrel Wesen woman nods honestly and Jagila also honestly wears Wyburn leather gloves. I checked it out. I stuck magic crystals in the fuel slot in the pilot's seat and twisted the starter to activate the airboard. Then magic spreads from the corner of the airboard to the corner immediately, and the whole airboard floats.

As for the pilotage system, it has already been the subject of extensive discussions among the R&D department.

Various opinions were expressed as to whether my operating system, which can be precisely operated if used as a combat tool, should remain intact, whether the current system should always be patient if it continues to run long distances, whether it should be able to be operated with handles and foot pedals like the car I told you about.

Ultimately, I decided to take mass production and follow the twin stick piloting system I had originally built. After all, it took too little time to develop a new piloting system. It was also considered to install a so-called automotive piloting system using handles and foot pedals, but it was obviously incompatible with the airboards that use flotation and propulsion systems for manoeuvring.

Either way, the manoeuvrability of the airboard is closer to that of a ship than that of a carriage or its developmental automobile, and it was thought that advanced golem control would be necessary to control a complex swivel system using both left and right thrust balances and rudders with only a handle and foot pedal.

So this time, it settled down to an operation method using a twin stick that controls both left and right thrusters and floating devices simultaneously, and a foot pedal that operates the rudder. Improvements in rudder and propulsion equipment increase turning performance and speed performance, and further improve magic efficiency is the difference from the prototype.

"Oops, it's floating."

"Height can vary slightly depending on the operation. It can rise to a maximum of about 1.5 m, but it is not recommended to float very high because the stability will be poor if it floats high. Then let's move it!"

Start moving slowly with less thrust. It is strange that the carrier moves even though there are no wheels on it. The jagillas on the carrier and the faces of the firefighters watching from a distance shout surprisingly.

"Slowly increase the speed, so Jagila shoots the target from the carrier."

Copy that.

Raise the output of the propulsion system to approach the target and turn it around while rubbing against it to point the rear of the carrier toward the target. And then, Gahhhh! and the uninterrupted roar began to echo from behind. Looks like they started shooting right away.

Repeat firing and reloading for a while before returning to the location where the faces of the other gunmen are waiting.

"How was it?

"I really thought it was awesome to run around without shaking the ground. The speed is incredible, and it looks like it's going to be as slow as a horse. But didn't you need a gun rack?

"Well, with a gun rack, we can only attack the back. Perhaps it would be better to have a pincer around the center of the carrier in the ammo box?

"Oh, that's good, then you can bang in either direction."

"It's not a gun rack, it's a ammunition rack... I didn't think of that."

It was an unexpected event for me to control the recoil of the machine gun without a gun rack in the first place and not to suffer the weight of the machine gun.

But it's true that with the ammunition box fixer that circles around the center of the carrier, that is, the ammunition rack, we can feed ammunition from the ammunition box smoothly. If there is such a thing in the middle of the carrier, it would definitely be interfering with normal driving, so it would be better to be able to remove it, or to be able to be knocked down and integrated with the floor of the carrier when not in use.

"I want to give feedback quickly. However, I don't think we'll make it to the rotary shelf in time. Keep a stationary ammunition rack on the front, rear, left and right."

"Roger that. You'd better let the rest of the team practice, right?

"Let's do that. You'll learn how to fly."

That's why I spent the day teaching the samurai how to handle machine guns and fly airboards.
