My guy is making new guns just so the girls won't die, based.
I hope they don't for the sake of aesthetics. Colonial era warfare and black powder are so underrepresented in media. Though with how much attention to detail is given, I'd wager the mangaka is an enthusiast of this era. Starting with this premise then ditching it for world wars stuff would be silly.Thank you very much for picking it up !
Let's hope he won't reproduce WWI weaponry... Or it's gonna be gruesome.
While it is a matter of time, I doubt it will happen in MC's lifetime. Without machining, any fancy invention he recreates will just be novelties: hell, we have examples of cartridge using guns as far back as the 1600s, but it never caught on in the military until the late 1800s. Rifling and smoothbore both have their places, and while rifling is a considerable advantage to accuracy and range, it was rarer due to expense. Understand that any military in history are a bunch of cheapasses and will cut corners whenever possible. "Military grade" = built by the lowest bidder.If there's already muskets being used as regular infantry weapons, it's just a matter of time, regardless of whether MC does something or not
well if we go without mcs intervention ww1 weaponry is only going to be used when he is at least in the most optimal scenario if we think this chapter is in 1800-1820 years than it would be 90-70 years, now if we assume its in the late 1700s like 1780 or 1790 then it would be 100 years from this chapter, obviously mc is going to intervene probably and make them appear much earlier, since the minie ball bullet was invented in 1847.If there's already muskets being used as regular infantry weapons, it's just a matter of time, regardless of whether MC does something or not
Should change MC's name from "Krumbertz" to "Sharpe," and give that "Chief Sergeant" an Irish accent... now we just need that Major from earlier to be missing an eye, and half his face...So since this is before mass production and even standard rifling in guns, this would be right around the 1700s. There were rifled guns but they were such a pain in the ass to make by hand that they were only made for skirmishers; infantry used to harass the lines, hit and run tactics basically
If this a reference to something, I don't get itShould change MC's name from "Krumbertz" to "Sharpe," and give that "Chief Sergeant" an Irish accent... now we just need that Major from earlier to be missing an eye, and half his face...
It totally is, and I totally thought you were with me on it. But that's cool.If this a reference to something, I don't get it
Wait I thought that guy was Scottish, not Irish. I never saw the show but at one point, shorts and some videos popped up for me regarding this showThere is a book series about the rifleman, their jobs, how they did them, and what they wore and all that by a dude named Bernard Cornwell, set in the Napoleonic Wars; it's told mostly from the British perspective, and the lead character is named "Richard Sharpe."
All that reference stuff is from that.
They're time-period (semi)accurate fiction, and there are a series of movies from the BBC starring Sean Bean.
