Chapter 45: Gun and Bullet Modification? Xu Ge: I'm really good at finger-guessing!
Xu Ge's body kept swaying with the bumps of the car.
He looked at the instructions on the token, and then looked at Guo Yuanshuai, who was sitting opposite him and fighting with Kai Youmu for a cigarette.
Manual skills? Or special grade?
Looking at the prompt on whether to light up the skill slot, Xu Ge couldn't make up his mind.
In his impression, isn’t handicraft just something like DIY that girls like to play with?
Things like baking, flower arranging, origami, embroidery, etc.
Do these things have anything to do with the rough guy, Banfu?
Or is the manual definition given by the system another kind of content?
Thinking of this, Xu Ge leaned forward and approached Guo Yuanshuai: "Deputy class leader, I heard you can do handicrafts?"
Guo Yuanshuai was stunned, and a puff of smoke blew into Xu Ge's face: "Who told you that?"
"Let me tell you, the handmade tank the squad leader made out of shell casings is a true masterpiece!"
Kai Youmu took over the conversation, "I brought one back home when I was discharged from the army last year, but it was almost snatched away by my relatives. Now it's with my sister, and she said many people praised its beauty, and some even offered a high price for it!"
"Damn it, I get angry when I talk about this!"
Guo Yuanshuai slapped Kai Youmu on the thigh and said, "I finally managed to get three to send to my son, but they took them all!"
Kai Youmu looked innocent: "Deputy class leader, it's not just me who's having trouble..."
"But you are following my last one!" Guo Yuanshuai said unhappily.
At this time, Su Liujun also stuck his head over and said mysteriously, "Kai Youmu, look at your ignorant look. What's the big deal about a tank made of bullet shells? Let me tell you, the squad leader can even make bullets! Hehe!"
Xu Ge was taken aback, feeling that something was amiss with Banfu's handicraft skills, so he deliberately provoked him, "Really? Banfu, Su Liujun is just bragging, right? I don't believe it!"
"Don't believe me?" Guo Yuanshuai glared. "Not only can I make bullets, do you believe I can even make guns?"
Xu Ge said nothing and quickly chose to light up the skill slot on the token. A ray of light flashed and another skill slot appeared on the back of the token.
Handicraft: Primary (1/5).
The next moment, some memories about how to disassemble the bullet warhead and how to polish the rifling of the gun barrel immediately appeared in my mind.
Xu Ge was completely shocked.
What the hell?!
The squad leader's craftsmanship is actually pure handmade modifications to guns and ammunition?
This thing is illegal, right?
At this time, Kai Youmu's curious voice sounded: "Deputy Ban, can you really make a gun? Tell me about it!"
Guo Yuanshuai had an expression of reminiscing about the past, with his right index and middle fingers stretched out and spread out.
Kaiyoumu quickly put a cigarette on it and lit it.
"When I was in the army, the army was very poor. Unlike you now, new recruits even used 191 assault rifles for target practice and tactical crawling. Do you know what gun I used when I was a new recruit?"
Guo Yuanshuai asked as he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
The people around him answered immediately. Some said it was the Type 95 automatic rifle, some said it was the Type 81 rifle. Only Li Dongshui asked, "Could it be the Type 56?", and Guo Yuanshuai nodded.
"At that time, we still had the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, which couldn't fire continuously. It was the same rifle used in the 1984 military parade. It was two years later that we switched to the Type 56 and Type 81. The Type 95 was many years later."
Guo Yuanshuai began to narrate, "Old guns are always prone to breaking here and there. At first, we used parts removed from other guns to replace them. But then the Type 81 was issued, and the Type 5 and Type 6 parts were not compatible. So we found a way to modify it ourselves, hehehe!"
Everyone was stunned.
"Deputy, is this also possible?"
"How to transform it?"
"The army doesn't care?"
Guo Yuanshuai laughed: "Why not just do it secretly? Besides, these are old guns that are about to be retired. They may not even work if you take them out!"
"Let me tell you, the caliber of the Type 56 and Type 81 is 7.62, and the bullets are also compatible. What does this mean? It means that the rifling of the barrel is the same!"
"Take off the barrel of the Type 56, thicken and lengthen the front muzzle, and you can temporarily use it on the Type 81!"
"I also studied it when the Type 95 was put into service. The dovetail groove blocked my view, so I found a scrapped one and sawed off the top, then installed the guide rail myself. It worked quite well. Later, the Type 191 was put into service, and I didn't have time to study it..."
Everyone's jaws dropped when they heard this. How could the class vice-chairman have such a powerful history?
"Deputy Squad Leader, what about what Su Liujun just said about making bullets?" Xu Ge couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I was training with the anti-hijacking squadron back then, and silent bullets were all the rage. To put it bluntly, these are subsonic bullets, and the Russians made them pretty good."
Guo Yuanshuai took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "But the market has always been full of pistol bullets. At the time, we brothers wanted to see if we could make rifle bullets. So we dismantled the bullet head, reduced the gunpowder, and tried it little by little according to the proportion. Hey, you won't believe it, the effect is quite good!"
Everyone: "What happened next?"
Guo Yuanshuai: "Then I was caught red-handed by my former squad leader, your brigade commander, and was punished!"
. . .
. . .
It was almost 6 o'clock in the morning when the car drove back to the camp. The third platoon was the first to go out but the last to come back.
The people in the first and second rows had returned their weapons, washed and rested. After Guo Yuanshuai counted everyone's ammunition consumption and the wear and tear of weapons and equipment, he went to the company headquarters to report on the progress of the operation. Luo Shan, who was on duty, organized everyone to return their weapons and equipment.
By the time I finished everything, washed up and went to bed, it was around seven o'clock.
Xu Ge slept until eleven o'clock in the morning. After getting up, he immediately cleaned his guns with the other students in the class, and then ate a few mouthfuls of food at noon.
In the afternoon, the whole company did a general cleaning, and the kitchen staff began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Xu Ge was honored to be assigned to help in the kitchen.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, several family members who came to attend the army's New Year's Eve dinner came in one after another. Most of them were spouses of cadres or veterans, and there were also parents of two new recruits.
The whole yard was decorated with lights and hung with red lanterns.
Liu Guoping organized two rows of soldiers to line up on both sides of the camp gate with fireworks. Every time someone came, they would set off a wave of fireworks, which was very emotional.
At half past five, Xu Ge finished helping in the kitchen. Before he even had time to take off his apron, he was pulled out of the operation room by the company commander Liu Guoping.
"Hurry, hurry, Doctor Lin is here, go pick him up!"
When Xu Ge arrived at the gate, he saw Lin Wan and Guo Yuanshuai, a couple wearing windbreakers, coming in together.
Bang bang bang!
Amidst the flying fireworks, Liu Guoping took the lead in shouting, "Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!"
There were a lot of red firework scraps stuck on Lin Wan's hair, and she looked like a bride with a red face and a smile.
Niu San first pushed Xu Ge forward. Xu Ge wiped his hands on his apron, feeling somewhat bewildered. He looked at Lin Wan and said with a smile, "Welcome, Doctor Lin!"
Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh at Xu Ge's outfit: "Why, you're the chef for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner? I'd love to taste your cooking later!"
"Why did you come here with the deputy squad leader and sister-in-law?"
"I came here in Brother Lian's car. I happened to run into the deputy squad leader and his wife at your regiment headquarters, so we got out of the car and walked over together."
"What are you talking about?" Guo Yuanshuai glared at Xu Ge. "If you want to chat, then chat. If you don't want to chat, quickly invite them in and sit down. Why are you still standing here? What time is it?"
"Yes, yes, come on, Sister Lin, I'll take you in!"
Shi Xing took Lin Wan's arm and walked towards the cafeteria as if she knew the way. When she passed by Liu Guoping, she joked,
"Xiao Liu is now a commanding officer? I remember that when Lao Guo and I got married, you took a leave of absence from the military academy to attend the wedding! When are you getting married?"
Liu Guoping quickly begged for mercy: "Good sister-in-law, today is New Year's Day, let's talk about something happy!"
A table for family members had been reserved in the middle of the cafeteria, and instructor Jiang Da was busy inviting all the family members to take their seats.
Shi Xing looked at the tables in Class 9 and said, "Class 9 is quite spacious and not crowded. How about Sister Lin and I sit in Class 9? What do you think, Sister Lin?"
Lin Wan nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
Instructor Jiang Da quickly waved his hands: "Alas, how can that be..."
"Okay, okay, okay! Class 9 is fine!" Liu Guoping quickly pulled Jiang Da away and invited Shi Xing and Lin Wan to sit at the table in Class 9.
Shi Xing and Lin Wan sat next to each other in the main seat.
Guo Yuanshuai sat down next to Shi Xing carelessly and waved: "Everyone, sit down. Everyone, take your own seat. Don't sit randomly!"
The veterans immediately began to scramble for a spot. Li Dongshui ran for the spot next to Lin Wan, but was pulled back by Niu Sanxian and Wang Lin, each holding an ear.
When Xu Ge came in from outside after taking off his apron and washing his hands, there was only an empty seat next to Lin Wan.
"Come here quickly, everyone is waiting to raise their glasses!" Niu Sanxian shouted while standing on a box of beer.
Xu Ge had no choice but to sit in the seat reserved for him. Lin Wan was smiling and whispering to Shi Xing next to him.
"Come on, comrades, let's toast to all the family members together with this first glass of wine, okay?"
Liu Guoping stood up with the cup in his hand and shouted loudly.
"good!"
"cheers!"
"This second cup is a toast to ourselves. Sixth Straight is awesome!"
"Sixth Company is awesome!"
Liu Guoping waved his hand and said, "Now you can play freely!"
Everyone had just finished participating in the operation in the early morning, and tonight's New Year's Eve dinner was more like another form of celebration.
As soon as the company commander Liu Guoping finished speaking, the whole cafeteria immediately became lively.
After drinking two glasses of beer, Xu Ge's face turned red.
He originally wanted to drink a beverage, but Lin Wan changed it to beer with a wicked smile.
The veterans smiled at each other, and first raised their glasses to toast Guo Yuanshuai and Shi Xing for their long and happy life together. After refilling the glasses, they immediately raised their glasses to Xu Ge and Lin Wan.
"Dr. Lin, we toast you!"
The veterans didn't even say a toast, they just toasted.
Lin Wan smiled and picked up the cup. Seeing Xu Ge didn't move, she said unhappily, "Didn't you hear that they toasted us two?"
Xu Ge had no choice but to pick up the cup and drink the third one.
After three glasses of wine, everyone relaxed and started chatting while eating. Lin Wan was almost like becoming sisters with Shi Xingchu.
Halfway through the New Year’s Eve dinner, people at different tables started visiting each other.
The tradition of the Sixth Company is that the family of a comrade is like one's own family. Naturally, the family table and the Ninth Class are the focus of everyone's attention.
After a few rounds, not to mention Lin Wan, even Shi Xing was drunk and dizzy.
Guo Yuanshuai had no choice but to stand up to help his wife block the wine.
Seeing that Lin Wan couldn't hold it any longer, Xu Ge volunteered to pick up the cup and stand in front of the Eighth Squad Leader: "Squad Leader, I'll drink for Doctor Lin!"
The squad leader of Hailiang's squad 8 came with Luo Shan's mission. Seeing Xu Ge taking over, he had no objection and said, "You can help Dr. Lin drink, but not just one cup. At least three cups."
"Squad Leader Eight, this is my first time drinking, I really can't drink that much."
Xu Ge burped, and Lin Wan immediately reached out and patted him on the back twice.
"It's okay if you can't drink it. We can play finger-guessing. Whoever loses drinks. That way you won't accuse me of bullying you."
Guo Yuanshuai couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Xiao Ba, that's too much. Look at Xu Ge, he looks like he knows how to play finger-guessing..."
"I will!" Xu Ge's eyes lit up. "Squad Leader, how about we not leave until we're drunk?"
