Chapter 125 Test the gun!
Xu Ge was completely confused. He only knew about the 201 high-precision sniper rifle and the Type 10 heavy sniper rifle, and had never heard of the 202.
Gao Wen looked at Li Dongshui in surprise: "Oh, that's great, Li Dongshui, you even know this!"
Guo Yuanshuai was also surprised: "Are you really going to test this gun?"
"What's wrong, Lao Guo, are you interested too?"
As soon as Gao Wen saw Guo Yuanshuai's expression, he knew that his new recruit comrade was also itching to try.
Guo Yuanshuai's face turned serious. "My two new recruits are inexperienced, so I really need them to provide technical guidance!"
Gao Wen was so angry that he laughed: "Damn it, if you want to go together, then go together. Why do you have to find a reason... Anyway, I don't care, just talk to the brigade commander yourself."
"No problem, I'll ask the squad leader right away!" Guo Yuanshuai said and ran to the side to send a message to Zhang Fengxue.
Xu Ge looked at Gao Wen with a puzzled look on his face. "Chief of Staff, Li Dongshui is a sniper. It's normal for him to go test the gun. Why do I have to go too?"
"Aren't you his observer? The brigade commander said that this time we are mainly testing the maximum killing distance of the 202 sniper rifle, so we definitely need the assistance of an observer!" Gao Wen explained.
Xu Ge originally wanted to say that he was not Li Dongshui's observer, but he could tell from the reactions of Li Dongshui and the squad leader that the 202 should be a very powerful sniper rifle, and naturally he wanted to see it, so he stopped talking and agreed.
Guo Yuanshuai had already put away his phone and ran over excitedly: "The squad leader agreed. Where is the gun? Where can we try it? Let's go! Let's get going!"
"Look at how anxious you are. First go to the brigade headquarters to register for the gun, and then choose a venue!" Gao Wen turned and walked out.
Guo Yuanshuai signaled Kai Youmu and the others to come over and help collect Xu Ge and Li Dongshui's weapons, then caught up with Gao Wen and asked, "What do you mean by choosing a location? Not at this shooting range?"
Gao Wen shook his head: "The place here is too small!"
Xu Ge was whispering to Li Dongshui in the back: "Is this gun you're talking about more accurate than the 201?"
Li Dongshui nodded: "Not only is it accurate, it's also more powerful, but the gun is lighter!"
“Wow!”
"201 is 7.62mm caliber, 202 is 8.6, which is the internationally accepted .338!"
“Wow!”
"Let me tell you, I heard the 202 sniper rifle has a dispersion of only 0.3 minutes of arc at a distance of 1500 meters. It's more accurate than those famous guns!"
Xu Ge was confused and said, "Wow! What is a minute of arc?"
Li Dongshui: "Minute of Angle is MOA, which is the abbreviation of Minute of Angle. 1 minute of angle is 1/60 of a degree..."
Xu Ge said with a fierce face: "Okay, no need to explain, I understand."
The group followed Gao Wen into the car and headed straight to the equipment department of the brigade. After finding the person in charge to sign, Gao Wen brought out a black box.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the box. Xu Ge, with his sharp eyes, saw the words QBU-202 written on it.
"You guys get familiar with the guns first, I'll go get the bullets." Gao Wen put the box in the car.
Guo Yuanshuai didn't even raise his head and waved his hand: "Go!"
Bang!
The box was opened, and a black sniper rifle with a folded buttstock appeared in front of everyone. In addition, there were two large optical sights.
Guo Yuanshuai picked up the gun, weighed it in his hand, and then removed the magazine to take a look.
"Including accessories, it's estimated to be 7 kilograms, with a magazine capacity of 5 rounds!"
. . .
. . .
Gao Wen soon came over with a group of people who were responsible for providing technical support.
Xu Ge also learned the detailed parameters of the 202 sniper rifle from these people.
The gun body is 1.3 meters long and weighs 7 kilograms including accessories. It supports accessories such as optical aiming and night vision goggles. This gun also has an optional smart sight.
The buttstock and cheek rest can be folded and adjusted to suit various shooting postures.
It uses a dedicated 8.6mm high-precision sniper bullet, a floating barrel, an initial muzzle velocity of 830 meters per second, and a maximum effective range of 1500 meters.
After the technicians explained the parameters, the next step was to find a venue.
The Wolf Brigade’s base was originally an uninhabited area, and the people in the equipment department had selected several sites in advance. Gao Wen asked Guo Yuanshuai to make the decision.
"It doesn't matter where it is, just choose the place that's closest." Guo Yuanshuai said casually.
Gao Wen nodded: "Okay, then let's go to the back mountain. I'll arrange for people to clear the area first!"
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain behind the brigade headquarters. The technicians began to arrange the shooting positions, and Xu Ge was given a complete set of measuring instruments.
Under the guidance of Guo Yuanshuai, Li Dongshui began to install the intelligent sight and fire control system on the guide rail.
This situation made the two recruits nervous for a moment.
Since arriving at the gun testing location, Gao Wen handed over the command of the scene to Guo Yuanshuai, and he himself moved a stool and sat under the tent.
Zhuang Xiaotie came over with the microphone. "Deputy Guo, what do you think our gun will do in this test?"
Guo Yuanshuai was about to retort to the female reporter, but when he saw the camera pointed at him, he restrained himself and said expressionlessly, "I don't know. Who can say for sure before the fight?"
Zhuang Xiaotie sensed the other party's dissatisfaction and quickly changed the question: "Then what distance do you think we should start from?"
Guo Yuanshuai: "Isn't the world record for the longest kill with a sniper rifle of the same caliber 2,500 meters? Let's start with that distance!"
Li Dongshui: ???
Xu Ge: ???
"Deputy squad leader, I haven't even run 1000 meters!" Li Dongshui said in a low voice with a nervous look on his face.
Zhuang Xiaotie was also surprised and blurted out, "But the maximum effective range of this gun is 1,500 meters!"
"The AWM also has a maximum effective range of 1,500 meters, as does the TRG42 and the M338. So how did these guns achieve those records?"
Guo Yuanshuai couldn't help but glance at Zhuang Xiaotie with an amateurish look. "What's so hard about testing 1500 meters? The engineers tested it a thousand times before it left the factory!"
"What do you think the military wants us to test? Are the factory data accurate? They must be testing to the limit! Otherwise, why would they send you here to film it?"
Zhuang Xiaotie wasn't stupid either. He immediately understood what Guo Yuanshuai meant. He suddenly realized, "You mean, the military wants our guns to achieve even better results, surpassing the current records?"
Guo Yuanshuai remained noncommittal. "Next we're going to adjust the guns. You can't shoot anyway, so go and tell them to set up a target at 2,500 meters, and then set up a few more at 100 meters and 200 meters."
"good!"
The two reporters followed the technicians to set up the targets.
Guo Yuanshuai continued to help Li Dongshui install the scope. Seeing Xu Ge studying the measuring instrument, he threw a sniper bullet to him.
"Here! Have some fun."
Xu Ge took it casually and was about to ask what the term "deputy class leader" meant when he was suddenly stunned.
"Squad leader, the weight of this bullet is wrong!"
"That's right, take the warhead off and feel the weight carefully. This is what you, as an observer, must do!"
Guo Yuanshuai continued, "When it starts, you shoot first, and keep shooting until you get a feel for the trajectory of this bullet."
"yes!"
Although Xu Ge didn't know why the deputy class leader asked him to do this, he knew that it was right to listen to the deputy class leader.
Using tools to forcibly remove the bullet and examining it carefully in the palm of his hand, Xu Ge discovered that this high-precision sniper bullet not only weighs about twice as much as a 7.62 caliber bullet, but also has a special aerodynamic shot at the tail, which seems to be intended to ensure stability during flight.
After everything was ready, Xu Ge placed the 202 sniper rifle on the ground according to Guo Yuanshuai's instructions and aimed at the chest ring target 100 meters away.
The fire control system automatically aimed the optical crosshairs at the center of the target. After locking it, Xu Ge pulled the trigger without hesitation!
Bang!
The bullet hit the bull's eye.
Surprisingly, due to the special shooting of the barrel, Xu Ge did not feel much recoil.
"Come again!" Guo Yuanshuai held the telescope with no expression on his face.
Snap!
Xu Gola pulled the bolt, loaded the gun, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
There was no second bullet hole on the target, but the hole in the bull's eye seemed to have grown a little.
Xu Ge was horrified: "Holy crap! What an awesome gun!"
Guo Yuanshuai's mouth curled up: "Look at you, you're so ignorant. If you were to play with Ah Shui, you'd hit the same hole five times in 200 meters!"
Xu Ge didn't care about that. He immediately pulled the bolt to load the gun and moved the muzzle towards the target two hundred meters away.
Bang!
The same ten rings!
He really enjoyed the shot this time and immediately reloaded the bullet and continued aiming.
Wow, I also experienced the feeling of being a sharpshooter!
Guo Yuanshuai urged from the side, "Hurry up! You don't need to test the accuracy of this gun. Just get a feel for the trajectory!"
"yes!"
. . .
. . .
In the tent, a technician stared at the monitoring display for a while, then turned back to Gao Wen and said:
"Senior Advisor, it's fine if you just brought two new recruits to test their weapons, but after they arrived, you gave Deputy Squad Leader Guo full command. And now the spotter is shooting at 100 meters, while the sniper hasn't fired a single shot. What's going on?"
"These three were personally appointed by the brigade commander. Do you have any objections?"
Gao Wen crossed his legs. "Hey, Engineer Feng, this isn't your first time dealing with Lao Guo. I remember he also participated in the testing of the Type 10 when it was put into service. Don't you know his capabilities?"
Engineer Feng: "I know he's also a very good sniper, but this time we're pressed for time and have a heavy mission. The military requires us to get the records as soon as possible..."
"Don't worry about it. Just take care of your logistics. If you think Lao Guo is doing something wrong, why don't you go up yourself?" Gao Wen said unhappily.
Mr. Feng shut up immediately.
Not only did the technical staff not understand, but even the two reporters Zhuang Xiaotie were a little confused about the current situation.
The photographer carried the camera and didn't know whether to take pictures or not.
What to shoot?
You can't film a new recruit holding a high-precision sniper rifle worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and shooting at a target 100 meters away, right?
An hour later.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The gunfire continued.
Xu Ge lay on the ground and kept pulling the trigger, while Guo Yuanshuai and Li Dongshui sat beside him and whispered something.
Just when everyone was getting a little anxious, the gunfire finally stopped.
Xu Ge turned around and said, "Deputy Squad Leader, I seem to be able to sense the ballistic characteristics of this bullet!"
