Napoleon flintlockThe flintlocks of the Napoleonic period had many characteristics. In terms of performance, its reliability was affected by many factors:
- In terms of firing principle, flintlock relied on the hammer to clamp the flint and hit the anvil to produce sparks. The sparks ignited the medicine pool under the anvil, and the fire of the medicine was transmitted into the bore through the fire hole to ignite the gunpowder. However, the ignition efficiency of the flint was not high. On rainy days, there were few sparks produced by the flint and the gunpowder in the medicine pool was easy to be wet. On average, there was a 20% chance of misfiring.
- Because the black gunpowder burned dirty, the soldiers needed to clean the fire hole frequently, otherwise the fire in the medicine pool would not be able to ignite the gunpowder in the barrel.
Shooting accuracy:
- At that time, the hit rate of each country's flintlock musket after shooting 200 rounds at a company target was calculated. At a distance of 160 yards (about 146 meters), the hit rate of the Prussians 'new musket and the British rifle (Brown Bass) exceeded 55%. The French Charleville 1777 rifle was slightly weaker. At a distance of 320 yards, the hit rate of each country was relatively low. In the tests conducted by the Prussians, when shooting at a 7.6-meter-wide and 3-meter-high target area, the hit rate at 114 meters (150 steps) was 46%, and the hit rate at 228 meters was 12.5%. The hit rate within 100 meters was 50% or above, but the hit rate was very low beyond 200 meters.
In terms of gun structure:
- At that time, whether it was the gun barrel or the bullets, the tolerance was very large. For example, the French Charleville rifle barrel had a caliber of 17.5mm and a pellet diameter of 16.54mm. The diameter of the pellet was smaller than the inner diameter of the barrel, which made the movement of the pellet unpredictable when it came out of the barrel, and stray bullets often appeared.
In addition, the two flintlock Gosard pistols once owned by Napoleon were sold on July 9, 2024 at the French auction house Osenat in the suburbs of Paris at a price of 1.69 million euros (1.83 million US dollars). The initial value was estimated to be 1.2 million to 1.5 million euros.($1.3 million-$1.63 million). The two guns were sold in Burr walnut boxes inlaid with ebony. The lid of the box was lined with green velvet, embroidered with the letter N, and embroidered flowers on the edge. The box and guns had Napoleon's password. A week before the sale, they were declared national treasures by the French government and could not leave France.

Well, having the dragons would change everything for Napoleon in the Game of Thrones world. He could use their power to form alliances more easily. People would be more likely to side with him out of fear or the hope of sharing in his power. He might also use the dragons to explore areas of Westeros that are currently uncharted or hard to reach, giving him an advantage in terms of knowledge and resources.
When was Napoleon written?I recommend Ancestor Simulation, by General Zhao. This was an Oriental fantasy novel. The male protagonist, Zhong Cheng, was 25 years old. He was originally from a game company, but he transmigrated. Only after he died and became the ancestor on the memorial tablet did the golden finger appear. Setting things like "10000 points of energy can be used to randomly breed excellent clansmen in the family x10" were very interesting. There were also characters like Old Zhong Cheng. The writing style of this book was not bad, and the logic was reasonable. It was the creation of the Ancestor School. Although it was a little slow, the more he watched, the more interesting it became. It was just that the updates were a little slow.
One Piece: The Last Great General by Amber Hua was not bad either. The light novel was derived from a doujinshi. The male lead was Sean Gabriel, 18 years old. The story started from a slave ship. He said,"No matter if you are the Five Old Stars or Eam, you are all the same in front of this pair of eyes." The main characters included Dusky and others. The content of the book was better than the introduction. The main characters were decisive and the plot was compact.
"The Rebirth of Napoleon II", a fictional historical novel written by the tearful fish wyj. The male protagonist, Xiao Jie, was a military history enthusiast who traveled to France in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He destroyed the British Empire's naval fleet and so on. It was super cool, very much in line with Napoleon's style.
"Heavenly Dao Rankings: I've Been Exposed as a Sword God" was a fantasy novel written in seven years and seven days. The male lead, Li Yu, was 17 years old. He transmigrated to the Immortal Martial World and wanted to hide until he was invincible before leaving the mountain. However, the Heavenly Dao Rankings descended, and his name shook the world after he entered the rankings.
Zhenguan Family Education Is A Little Irascible, a historical novel written by Xue Wuhen. The male protagonist, Zhang Ji 'an, was 21 years old. He traveled to the Tang Dynasty and was a tutor in Qin Qiong's residence. He had a bad temper. The female protagonists included Qin Huaiyu and others. Li Shimin set a trap and Zhangsun Wuji forced him to marry. The plot was very interesting.
