Chapter 42: Can a single shot hit so fast?
The gunfire stopped.
A few minutes later, Li Dongshui came back and looked at Xu Ge with a smile.
"Did you fire those shots just now?" Xu Ge was a little surprised.
"certainly!"
Li Dongshui was still a little unsatisfied. "191 is definitely easier to hit than 95. It feels really good!"
Xu Ge turned his head to look at the target paper again. He had just fired 12 shots in total. Except for the first two shots that looked like they were calibrating the trajectory, the next ten shots all hit ten rings!
"How is it? Are you envious?"
"What's there to envy? You've been practicing since you were a child. Give me some time to practice. It's still unclear who will win between us in the future!" Xu Ge said stubbornly.
Li Dongshui put his hands behind his back and glanced at Xu Ge: "Don't do it later. The first time I shot, 8 out of 10 bullets hit the target. Why don't you try shooting now?"
"Me? Now?"
Xu Ge was stunned. It was only then that he remembered something. "Oh, by the way, why can you shoot?"
"Haha, the platoon leader said this is the benefit of our business trips. We can play a round before the end of each day!"
Li Dongshui urged, "Go quickly! I'll show you the target. The platoon leader and the others are waiting!"
"Can you shoot targets?!"
Xu Ge was instantly excited. He quickly put away the claw knife and put it on his waist. Without saying a word, he got into the trench.
At target position No. 1, Luo Shan and the squad leaders were chatting.
"Platoon Luo, that's great! There's actually a sharpshooter among the new recruits in your platoon this year!"
"I was wondering why we had these two new recruits come with us. It turns out Platoon Leader Luo already knew about this!"
"I have to say, this is the first time I've seen a recruit score perfect on 191 on his first try. He's even more accurate than me!"
Facing everyone's amazement, Luo Shan chuckled, "Actually, I'm also surprised by this result. I only knew that the boy had played with guns at the shooting range back home before, but I didn't expect him to be such a good talent."
"Pierre Luo, you're too modest. You're definitely going to be first in shooting for this year's recruits!"
Everyone was chatting when Xu Ge came out of the trench.
"Report!"
Seeing another new recruit, the second squad leader Chen Liangping looked at Du Hu and said, "Du Hu, this guy is also a sharpshooter, right?"
Xu Ge: ???
What are you talking about?
Before Du Hu could say anything, Luo Shan spoke up, "This is the soldier I took over. He has never handled a gun before. I called him here mainly to give him some experience. If you don't have anything else, pack up quickly. We'll be back soon."
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry. Let's wait and see if this new recruit finishes fighting."
The squad leaders were reluctant to leave, wanting to see if Xu Ge's shooting skills were as accurate as the previous recruit.
"Xu Ge, come here!"
Du Hu handed him a 191 rifle and said seriously, "You must remember, never point the gun at anyone!"
"yes!"
"This one's already calibrated. Let me show you how to aim. See this circle? Put the front sight on it and aim at the bull's eye. The three points should be in a straight line!"
Du Hu pointed to the safety position again, "This is a single shot, this is a three-shot burst, this is..."
"No need to explain in so much detail. They will learn it in the shooting class later. Just finish the shooting quickly and go back." Luo Shan said from the side.
It was originally a benefit for new recruits. Just touch the gun and listen to the sound for fun.
Unlike Li Dongshui, Luo Shan didn't have high expectations for Xu Ge.
Several squad leaders standing by showed disappointment on their faces. This new recruit even needed to be taught how to aim. It was indeed his first time touching a gun.
Unlike the previous one, he looked like a veteran just by lying there.
Xu Ge held the gun and looked at it carefully with his head down.
The alloy feels cold to the touch, and there are densely packed rails all over the gun. A strange yet familiar feeling comes over me.
It felt unfamiliar because this was indeed his first time to come into contact with a firearm, and familiar because with the help of his rapid-fire skills, he had many memories of the 191 rifle in his mind.
Xu Ge was extremely excited, his index finger trembling constantly, as if he could hear the gun in his arms calling him.
"Come on, lie down here and point the gun at the target."
Seeing that the platoon leader said so, Du Hu stopped wasting time and helped Xu Ge load the bullets and then loaded the chamber.
"When you hear the order to start shooting, just aim and fire all the bullets."
"yes!"
Xu Ge placed the butt of the gun against his shoulder and began to search for the crosshairs.
Du Hu stood up and said, "Start shooting!"
Xu Ge's right index finger moved subconsciously following muscle memory.
Dadadadadadadadadada!
Suddenly, a burst of rapid and intensive gunfire was heard at the shooting range.
Everyone behind him was shocked. Luo Shan's hand trembled and the cigarette he had just taken out fell to the ground.
Ding ding ding!
The shell was thrown to the ground not far away, and a crisp sound was heard, which instantly brought everyone back to their senses.
The next moment, Du Hu pounced down, held Xu Ge down, and shouted, "Don't move!"
A new prompt appeared on the token. Xu Ge was about to take a closer look when he suddenly felt his body pressed down. He turned his head with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong, squad leader? Am I done?"
"Du Hu, you f*cking want to die!"
Amidst the roar, Luo Shan rushed over, picked up Xu Ge from the ground, and glared at Du Hu.
"He's a new recruit, why did you set the safety to continuous fire? Do you fucking know that if something goes wrong, everyone will be doomed?!"
"Look, platoon leader! The safety is in single-shot mode!" Du Hu handed the gun to Luo Shan with a strange expression.
As soon as these words came out, several squad leaders behind him immediately surrounded him.
Luo Shan glanced at the fuse, stunned for a moment, and looked at Du Hu: "Are you sure the fuse has always been single-shot?"
"Sure!"
???
Everyone turned to look at Xu Ge, who was a little at a loss.
Luo Shan's face was filled with disbelief. "Xu Ge, how did you shoot just now? Did you keep holding the trigger or something?"
Xu Ge was a little confused: "Isn't it a single-shot mode? I just shoot and depress it?"
“What the hell!!!”
Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Can a single shot be fired so quickly?"
Luo Shan carefully recalled the gunshots just now, and it seemed that they were indeed slower than continuous fire.
The maximum firing rate of 191 is more than 700 rounds per minute, which averages out to more than ten rounds per second. It took Xu Ge more than one second to shoot just now, but it was definitely within three seconds.
So, this guy is pretty quick at pulling the trigger!
"Report target!" Luo Shan picked up the walkie-talkie.
Li Dongshui's voice came immediately: "Three shots hit the target, two 6-ring shots and one 5-ring shot."
Xu Ge's face turned red. It seemed that he was too nervous during his first shooting.
"Fuck, I thought you could surprise me."
Luo Shan said unhappily, "Alright, hurry up and pack up and go back, it's getting late!"
"yes!"
The score of 17 rings in ten shots made everyone realize that this new recruit was indeed a rookie who could not be any newer.
As for the fast firing rate, it can only be understood that the opponent was too nervous at the time.
Since there was no timer, no one had an accurate idea of the time Xu Ge's shooting just now, because no one would fire a single shot in this way.
If you want to pursue high firing speed, can't you just fire in bursts or bursts?
However, the people on the shooting range didn't pay attention, but the previous gunshot attracted the attention of two people outside the shooting range.
squeak!
The Prado, which was about to leave, braked suddenly. Northwest Lao Wang and Lei Zi looked at each other seriously.
"This gunshot... is not right?" Lei Zi said slowly.
Northwest Old Wang waved his hand and said, "Let's go back and take a look!"
