Since the ancient fire lances could launch stones and pottery fragments to cause harm, Ma Lin believed his bullets would definitely be lethal.
They might also be very loud.
However, Ma Lin had many questions about how to ignite the bullets.
He could shoot them like a matchlock gun.
The bullet would have a fuse at the rear, sealed with a plug like wood.
The three components of black gunpowder are powdered solids.
It can react without the involvement of oxygen.
Producing a large amount of gas.
The burning is also very rapid.
Additionally, the phenomenon of thermal expansion and contraction would cause the gas to expand further.
As a result, the explosion would be intense, and the thrust very strong.
He just didn't know if the quality of his black gunpowder would meet the standard.
Perhaps he needed some machinery for processing.
As for how to produce sufficiently pure nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal, he had no idea.
