Testing the cannon—this thing was too powerful, and Liu Feng didn't want too many people to know about it.
Moreover, Liu Feng dared to say that in Zhengde County today, the Heaven and Earth Society, the emperor's men, and those high-ranking and powerful figures in the court have definitely planted spies.
Of course, if they don't cause trouble, Liu Feng won't deliberately try to find them.
However, many secrets should not be known to others.
Therefore, the testing of this cannon had to be done deep in the mountains.
Liu Feng only brought two people with him to test the cannon: Linghu Chongshan and Wu Jiang.
The process of testing the cannon is very simple: load the shot, plug the loading port with cotton cloth to increase the airtightness, and then ignite it.
According to Liu Feng's estimate, the killing range of this thing is only seven or eight meters, and it can't be more than that.
After a loud bang.
Although Liu Feng was prepared, the powerful recoil almost caused him to lose his grip, even with his strength.
It seems this thing needs to be fitted with a foot support.
In the distance, a series of crackling sounds could be heard as the dummies that had been set up were riddled with holes by shotgun blasts.
The lethality was about what Liu Yuan had expected, at a distance of about seven or eight meters, but the damage it caused was weaker than anticipated.
But it's alright, this is the first test after all.
Further testing is needed, including airtightness tests and control of the charge amount, to achieve the optimal result.
Upon inspection of the dummy, it was discovered that this boneless dummy was precisely penetrated by every shotgun pellet.
Furthermore, numerous shotgun shells were also embedded in the surrounding trees. These trees were more durable than leather armor, meaning that these shotgun shells could inflict damage on enemies wearing leather armor from seven or eight meters away.
However, considering the current situation, this item has limited lethality against enemies wielding heavy shields and wearing heavy armor at the current distance.
We need to get closer.
