Closing the lid, thinking about how painful it would be to transport this box of lead plates in the future, Chen Zhou couldn't help but kick the wooden box, then picked up the short gun from another box.
This gun looked quite special at first glance, resembling a long-barreled pistol, but in reality, it was a light matchlock gun with its barrel cut short.
Compared to other matchlock guns, the short-barrel matchlock gun increased portability and reduced weight, but also sacrificed power, accuracy, and range. It could at best shoot prey within ten meters, which was far less practical for Chen Zhou than a heavy matchlock gun.
Because he knew that the heavy matchlock gun had a solid foundation, its design concept and structure were on the right path; history simply hadn't advanced to that stage yet.
