Chapter 968 Tracer Bullets Like Will-O-Wu
Fire The training of the Shen Ce Guards progressed very quickly. After the formal allocation of the organization, weapons training began on the same day. The next day, they took turns to the shooting range for live ammunition shooting, so that the new recruits could personally experience the shooting process of firearms, the key points of shooting, and the recoil generated when shooting
, so that they could get a feel for it. In the back mountain north of Hanyang City, there were continuous gunshots all day long, just like the continuous fireworks during the Chinese New Year. One class after another took turns to conduct shooting training. On the first day, each person fired a hundred rounds of rifle bullets, which made them have enough fun.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang————
Another series of gunshots, and the soldiers in the last platoon also completed a round of five rounds of shooting, and then began to reload ammunition under the command of the instructor.
Pull open the bolt, insert the magazine into the gap above the magazine, press hard with the thumb, and all five bullets are pressed in, then push the bolt to load, and everyone aims forward again.
"Everyone, prone 200-meter human-shaped target, hit the abdomen for pass, hit the chest for good, hit the head for full score, five shots for free shooting, start shooting."
The instructor gave an order, and the shooting range was once again filled with gunshots. After this round of shooting, a new soldier suddenly asked the instructor a question.
"Report."
"Tell me."
"Instructor, didn't you say before that you need to adjust the sight before aiming, and then aim and shoot? Why did I adjust it a little, but didn't hit it?" A new soldier asked in confusion.
"You bastard, who told you to adjust the sight? What did I say before shooting? Don't adjust the parts of the gun without my order. You are capable of that, right?"
Upon hearing the new soldier's question, their instructor immediately got angry, walked over and kicked him in the buttocks twice, and then continued to explain.
"You just adjust the sight randomly when you have nothing to do. You don't know how to count, right? Didn't you see that the first number after the 0 on the sight is 3.5? 3.5 means 350 meters. You are shooting at a target of 200 meters. Why adjust the sight?
" "Let me tell you again. Our rifle uses 7.9mm pointed full-power ammunition. Moreover, the rifle has a small rifling pitch. The bullet has a high rotation speed when it leaves the barrel, which is stable. The trajectory is low, deep and straight. There will be no drop within 300 meters. Therefore, as long as the target is within 300 meters, you don't need to adjust any sights. You just need to aim and pull the trigger. You can hit whatever you point at. Do you understand?" The instructor shouted to everyone again.
"Report."
"Any other questions?"
"Instructor, what is the trajectory you just mentioned?" Another recruit lying on the ground not far away asked his instructor. "
The trajectory is the flight path of the bullet after it is fired. Have you ever shot an arrow? After an arrow is shot out, it will not fly far before it starts to fall. If you want to shoot at a distant target, you have to raise the shooting angle and shoot upwards to hit the target, right?"
Everyone nodded quickly, and then the instructor continued.
"But this bullet is different. The bullet is powerful and flies very fast, so within 300 meters, it flies in a straight line and will not fall at all. So when shooting at targets within 300 meters, you only need to aim straight, and there is no need to raise the muzzle. Only when shooting at targets more than 300 meters away, do you need to adjust the sight. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Instructor, I have another question."
"Go ahead."
"You just said that this bullet will not fall even if it flies 300 meters, and there is also the trajectory. How do you know that the bullet flies so fast? And the sight on the gun, is this thing really that accurate? As long as you adjust it to the corresponding position and aim and shoot, can it hit that far? ! "A new soldier asked a tricky question again.
"What's the matter? Are you afraid that I will lie to you? What's the benefit of me lying to you?" The instructor got angry when he heard it, rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to the guy who asked the question.
"No, I'm just curious. The bullet flies so fast, how do you see the trajectory?" The new soldier said, scratching his head embarrassedly.
"How do you see it? It must have gone through a lot of live-fire shooting experiments before the new weapon can be finalized for production. Any new weapon must be fully tested before it is produced and equipped to the troops.
"The trajectory of the bullet and the characteristics of the trajectory are all obtained through a large number of experiments. Finally, according to the results of the experiments, the sight on your gun was made.
"You just asked if the sight is accurate. It is definitely accurate, but there is a certain error. The sights of each gun will have some slight errors. For example, some guns have bullets that hit the left, some hit the right, and some hit the top or bottom. This is a normal phenomenon and you need to explore it yourself. For example, this time you aim at the center, but the bullet hits the left. Then you should aim a little to the right next time.
"What is training? Training is a process for you to get used to the weapon. You and your gun must be familiar with each other.
"As for how to observe the trajectory during the experiment, that is a special ballistic indicator bullet shot with a sample gun. When you shoot that kind of bullet, you can see the trajectory with your eyes. "
After hearing this, the recruits immediately widened their eyes and looked at their instructors curiously.
"Instructor, what kind of bullet is that? Why don't you just shoot that kind? If you can see the trajectory when shooting, wouldn't it be more accurate? Just like archery, you can see how the arrow flies." Another recruit asked curiously.
"That kind of bullet is called a tracer bullet. Currently, our tribe only has one kind of green tracer bullet, which is more expensive. It is usually used to indicate the target when shooting at night. It is generally not very effective during the day. The light is not very bright. The bullet hits the target in less than a breath after flying out. When using tracer bullets during the day, you can't even see the green light before the bullet has flown away.
"Today is your first time shooting a gun. There is no night shooting subject, so I didn't give it to you."
Everyone became more excited after hearing this. Tracer bullets sounded more advanced than ordinary bullets. Ordinary bullets are already so powerful, what would tracer bullets be like? Thinking of this, another soldier began to instigate the instructor.
"Instructor, you see we are the last batch to shoot today, and it's getting dark. Can you shoot a few tracer bullets for us so that we can see what the bullet's trajectory looks like?"
"If I give you a few bullets, do you think you can shoot whenever you want? Don't you know how expensive tracer bullets are? And the production is very low. If you really want to see it, I can shoot a few bullets for you to broaden your horizons."
When the recruits heard this, they thought it was better to see something than nothing, so they immediately clamored to see the tracer bullets.
The instructor nodded and took out a board of tracer bullets from the cowhide bullet box on his waist. There were exactly five bullets in the board. He directly removed all five bullets from the clip, then took out four and handed them to the recruit.
"Hey, this is a tracer bullet. Pass it around and give it back to me later."
The recruits quickly took it and laid on the ground with a few bullets.
"Instructor, this is a tracer bullet. It seems to be no different from the ordinary bullets we shoot. Can this really glow?"
"Yes, except that half of the bullet is white, there is no difference from ordinary bullets in other places."
"That's right, there is not much difference. They are all bullets. How can there be a big difference? The reason why this tracer bullet can glow is because of the white bullet you mentioned.
"The white on the bullet is not paint, but a metal extracted from ore, just like copper, iron, etc., plus some other things, it is a luminous agent. I heard that this kind of thing is added to the solution used for developing photos. Don't you think it's expensive?"
"But the medicine on it doesn't glow normally. It only glows green when it's ignited by fire. That thin layer on it can only burn for a breath, but the bullet flies fast, so a breath is enough. Okay, everyone hand in those bullets, and I'll demonstrate it to you. Don't worry, you'll have the opportunity to shoot tracer bullets in the future."
The instructor explained the luminous principle of tracer bullets to the group of recruits, and then collected the bullets that had just been distributed, and then loaded another tracer bullet into his rifle, ready to demonstrate to the soldiers.
'So that's how it is. I thought it was so magical. It turns out that it's the white medicine on it that's glowing. '
'No wonder the tracer bullets are so expensive. It's expensive for us to take photos. The medicine on the bullet head is the same as the medicine used to develop photos. How can it not be expensive? '
'Yeah,' everyone nodded in agreement.
"Okay, everyone, watch carefully. Now I'm going to shoot at the 600-meter target in front of me. But I don't know how to shoot at targets. I will aim at the open space in front of me and try to make the bullet fly farther, so that you can see a longer trajectory. Everyone, pay attention and see if the bullet starts to fall after it flies out for 300 meters."
"Okay, instructor, you shoot, we're ready."
"Yes."
The instructor nodded and started shooting in a standing position, aiming at the side of the 600-meter target in front of him and pulling the trigger.
Bang————
A crisp gunshot sounded, and a flash of fire was seen at the muzzle of the rifle, and then a bright green light shot out from the muzzle.
The green light emitted by the bullet left a clear green track in the air, flew past everyone's eyes with a chirp, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. No one knew where it flew.
'Wow, it's amazing, it really glows.'
'Yes, it feels like a ghost fire, green and lush. This kind of green flame is often seen in graves where people are buried. "
This is different from that thing. We made it. Who knows where the one you mentioned came from?"
"Yes, that's right. This tracer bullet is really good. If we use it after it's completely dark, the trajectory will definitely be more obvious. If we use this bullet to shoot at a target at night, as long as one person hits the target, the others will know which direction to shoot.
The recruits saw the luminous bullets for the first time and were lying there discussing excitedly.
"That's right. This tracer bullet is used to indicate the target. I heard from the leader that this thing should have been used on a burst machine gun, but our tribe can't make it now. The tracer bullets we are distributing now are also left over from the experiments. We don't usually distribute this kind of special ammunition."
The instructor explained to the recruits again, then put away his gun and pointed at the recruits and continued.
"Okay, now that everyone has gained some experience, it's time to continue training. Although we don't have tracer bullets, we have enough ordinary bullets. Let me tell you, in the first phase of training, each person must fire at least 100 rifle bullets every day. You still have 90 rounds of training tasks to complete, so hurry up and fire before it gets dark.
"But I have to tell you, I give you so much training ammunition so that you can practice your marksmanship well, so don't waste ammunition in the idea of completing the training task by force. When I report the target later, if I find that someone's target is off, I'll show you how I'm going to deal with him."
"Yes. "Everyone responded in unison immediately, then immediately loaded ammunition and began to aim at the target and shoot.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang——
the continuous sound of gunfire began to ring out in the shooting range again, and the first day of training soon ended with the sound of gunfire.
The training on the second day was more intense than the first day. The companies and platoons of the Shen Ce Guard began to take turns to conduct rifle shooting training in the morning. After shooting targets early in the morning, they went to have breakfast, and then practiced formations. After practicing formations, they practiced holding the gun.
Holding the gun refers to the posture of holding the gun, such as lying in the prone position for prone shooting, using the elbows for support, and placing the bullet shell on the muzzle to prevent the bullet shell from falling off; or holding the gun in a standing position, using a standing shooting posture, holding the gun and hanging bricks or water bottles in front of the gun.
This kind of gun holding training is also very effective in improving shooting skills, and it can also save ammunition, and effectively improve shooting skills with less ammunition consumption. .
Of course, the Shen Ce Guards were not short of ammunition. In addition to the rifles, live-fire shooting was still practiced. Some companies and platoons practiced rifles in the morning and shotguns in the afternoon, while others practiced shotguns in the morning and rifles in the afternoon.
In short, the training time of each unit was staggered to make reasonable use of the shooting range resources. Otherwise, no matter how big the barracks were, it would be impossible for more than 2,000 people to train live-fire shooting together.
In addition, there were other physical fitness, individual comprehensive skills, assassination and combat, and other techniques. Anyway, the daily training was arranged to be full. Although there was no fighting, the recruits had a very fulfilling life every day.
Just like this, two days passed. On the third day, good news came from Xingang County. Ishida, who was responsible for the development of handcuffs, also made samples of handcuffs. He took several samples to Hanyang City in person and asked Luo Chong to check them, and then finalize the production.
