peer agreement (net): +2пуля для винтовки Минье Explanation: Англ. описание (с рисунком): Both the conical shape of the minnie ball and the ridges at its base that fit into the grooves of the rifled musket allowed this bullet to be fired at a much faster speed. The minnie ball would spiral through the air and upon contact could shatter the bone of the unlucky soldier who met its path. By late war, when the fighting came to Petersburg, rifled muskets and minnie balls were predominately used by the soldiers. http://www.nps.gov/pete/mahan/Minieball.html Очень подробное описание по-русски: http://sigmac.dp.ua/user/TRIZ.nsf/22653c13b56c8a05c225698f00... ... Его (капитана Минье) пуля была цилиндро-оживальная, с двумя кольцеобразными желобками вокруг цилиндрической части(2), высверленная конусообразно со стороны основания; чашеобразная пустая железная втулка (culot) закрывала полую часть и вгонялась туда силой пороховых газов после воспламенения, расширяя таким образом с достаточной силой свинец. Сама пуля, даже будучи помещена в просаленный бумажный патрон, имела достаточный зазор, чтобы свободно проходить вниз по стволу. (Там еще очень много информации на эту тему) |
