Hearing that from him made Napoleon I eager to see more of the futuristic weapons. He could already imagine coalition armies getting fell one by one from a distance while they were marching in a line.
In fact, he was already drawing out plans in his mind to adopt the rifle as soon as possible and equip the army with it.
Napoleon II continued with his test firing experiment. The officer who had previously handed him the bolt-action rifle returned not with a weapon, but with a small wooden crate.
"Thank you," Napoleon II said as he opened the chest.
Inside was a pistol. It didn't look like a traditional pistol musket, this one was out of this era like the bolt-action rifle earlier. It wasn't a revolver configuration, it was a semi-automatic.
Napoleon II lifted it out and held it up at chest level.
"This," he said, "is the Model 1829 Service Pistol."
A few officers leaned forward without realizing it.
