Chapter 1178 Mechanical Sight
Gao Yang finally accompanied Yelena to watch a musical on Broadway as he wished.
Broadway is the name of a street, but so many famous theaters are located on this street that Broadway has become synonymous with opera.
Gao Yang is not interested in operas or musicals, but Yelena likes them, so even if he doesn't like them, he must accompany her to see them.
Various theaters on Broadway had different plays, and Gao Yang didn't like them anyway, so it didn't matter what he watched. In the end, Yelena chose Les Misérables.
Gao Yang didn't like musicals, especially tragedies, but fortunately the singing was really good. It made him listen from beginning to end. The only thing that made him unhappy was that Elena started to cry uncontrollably. At that time, Gao Yang didn't feel any discomfort at all.
It's not that Gao Yang is hard-hearted, the point is that he has seen too many tragedies in reality, making it difficult for him to feel sad because he knows it is a plot in a drama.
Yelena had already taken a long vacation. The day after watching the musical, Gao Yang took Yelena with him on Morgan's plane to Seattle.
All the members of Satan came to Bruce's tombstone one by one. This was not a collective action. If you have time, go and see Bruce and Lucica. If you don't have time, forget it, but no one is absent. After a long time, everyone Want to take a look.
Lucica's belly has swelled slightly. She has been pregnant for more than four months and it's time to show her belly.
Rusika was happy to see her long-lost friends.
After seeing Lucica, nothing happened. Those who want to go home go home. Just do whatever you have to do.
Grolev stayed in Seattle with Frye and Tommy. After spending the night, they will depart from Seattle and return to New York. Then Grolev and Natalia will go to Hawaii for vacation, Tommy and Vita will go to Serbia, and Frye has not yet decided where he is going. Travel, but he will definitely go somewhere with his mother and wife to play for a while.
Cui Bo has nowhere to go, so he will accompany Gao Yang to Los Angeles for the gun show. Li Jinfang also goes to the gun show first, and Taylor is also interested in the gun show.
As for Andy Ho and Jason, they will leave directly from Seattle.
In the afternoon, Gao Yang and others who went to Los Angeles arrived in Portland first with Morgan.
Before going to Los Angeles, Gao Yang had to go to Portland first. A small hole was punched in the handle of his rifle. Although it didn't affect the use, Gao Yang still wanted to find Jack to replace the handle as soon as possible.
Taylor also needs his gun repaired, and he now uses a rifle that Bruce left behind when he was ambushed in Aleppo. The lower receiver of his rifle was damaged, although Taylor dropped the gun on the ground and picked one up during the battle. But in the end, he took the broken gun with him until he evacuated to Aleppo prison, and finally brought it back.
When going to Los Angeles, Gao Yang still has something to do, and that is the military doctor recommended to him on the 13th. Gao Yang has already asked Morgan for the information of the military doctor. In addition to participating in the gun show, there is another very important thing to do in Los Angeles this time. Just go and check out that military doctor.
By the time they left the airport in Portland, it was already dark, but Gao Yang and the others did not rush to the hotel. Instead, they immediately went to Arilan Mawson's studio to find Jack to repair the gun.
Morgan went home on his own, and Gao Yang and the others had already contacted Jack. Although Alilan Merson's studio was off work, Jack would be waiting for them.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when I saw Jack.
Jack was still the same, nothing had changed. When Jack opened the door and saw Gao Yang and the others, Jack opened his arms and said loudly: "Brothers, long time no see, are you okay?"
After seeing Taylor, Jack pointed at Taylor and said with emotion: "Oh, brother, are you okay?"
Taylor and Jack bumped fists and hugged heavily. Taylor said with mixed emotions: "It's been a few days since I came back, but I just went to see Bruce today.
Oh, Lucica is fine too, and Bruce's kids and mom are fine. "
Jack nodded and said: "I will also go and see them when I have time. Okay, guys, come in and talk."
Entering Jack's lounge, it was still the same old habit. The only thing Jack could serve Gao Yang and the others was cold beer.
After getting everyone beer, Jack shook the bottle and said loudly: "Let's get down to business first. Take out your broken gun and let me take a look."
Gao Yang opened his gun bag, took out the Satan's Blade, and said in a deep voice: "I need to change the grip. A small hole was made by the bullet. I tried it later. There was no change in the bolt mechanism, and the sight was also It’s as accurate as before, I don’t think there’s any need for adjustment and calibration, I just need to change the grip.”
Jack picked up the raised rifle, looked at it carefully, and said loudly: "You are an expert in shooting. Just make sure the accuracy is not affected. The grip and stock are one piece. If you want to replace them, you have to replace them all. I have to How about I make you a new stock, which will take a while, do you think there is any need to adjust the stock and the grip?"
Gao Yang thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, no, the ergonomics are very good. This gun is like a part of my body. There is no need to make any adjustments at all. Just keep it as it is. Well, the only problem is the mechanics. The sights are up.”
Jack looked at the mechanical sight, and then said: "What's wrong with the mechanical sight? Is there something wrong with the accuracy?"
Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said: "No, it's not that there is a problem with accuracy. How should I put it? I have never used a mechanical sight. I have no chance to use it at all. But now I want to strengthen it and not use any auxiliary aiming equipment. I only use the mechanical sight. I have the ability to shoot, but the notched sight I am using now seems to have completely lost its effect after reaching a distance of 300 meters. I cannot use the mechanical sight for accurate shooting beyond 300 meters. I think it is possible It still needs more practice, but I also want to know if there are any mechanical sights that are more suitable for long-distance shooting.”
Many people have begun to call Gao Yang the Gunslinger, but Gao Yang himself does not feel that he is really worthy of the title of Gunslinger. Apart from anything else, he cannot accurately shoot at a distance of 300 meters without using a scope. The target made him feel that he still lacked a lot in shooting.
Gao Yang especially wanted to make up for his shortcomings, but he had practiced it many times. As long as it exceeded 300 meters, he would not be able to achieve accurate hits when aiming with the notched mechanical sight.
After more than three hundred meters, especially after more than four hundred meters, the target the size of a human body appears to be not as big as the crosshair in the notched sight, which makes it impossible for Gao Yang to aim accurately.
Although many snipers during World War II used the iron sights on their guns to shoot at long distances. For example, Simon Haye of Finland could use a Mosin Nagant rifle from the farthest distance. He only needed to use the iron sights on his guns to shoot at the farthest distance. The enemy is as far away as 700 meters, and the iron sight on the Mosin Nagant gun is notched.
Gao Yang felt that if others could do it, he would also be able to do it. However, after trying many times, Gao Yang finally felt helpless that he might not be able to do what Simon Haye could do.
Gao Yang wanted to solve the problems he encountered. After being unable to improve his technology, he wanted to try to see if it would work by replacing the mechanical sights.
There are two main types of mechanical sights now, one is the notched sight, and the other is the aperture sight.
Old guns before World War II basically had notched sights, and many main battle rifles still in use use notched sights, such as the 81 bar and ak47, which have notched sights. The advantages of notched sights The field of view is relatively wide, which is convenient for quickly searching for targets, but the disadvantage is that the accuracy is relatively low.
The representative firearm of the target hole sight is the m4. Now the mainstream sight in NATO is the target hole sight. The advantage of the target hole sight is that the accuracy of long-distance shooting is relatively high, but the disadvantage is that the field of view is narrow, making it inconvenient to search quickly. Shoot the target.
Gao Yang's rifle is equipped with a notched sight, which he specifically requested, because his marksmanship is very good. When using the mechanical sight, it must be within 300 meters, or even within 200 meters of the close range. This distance There was no chance of him missing the target. He wanted to shoot quickly with a notched sight that was more convenient for quickly searching for targets, so he specifically asked Jack to install a notched sight for him.
But now, Gao Yang's demand for mechanical sights has changed. He needs the ability to use mechanical sights to shoot accurately at longer distances. He just took the opportunity of letting Jack repair his gun and asked Jack to replace the mechanical sights for him. The sight is up.
After hearing Gao Yang's request, Jack thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes, you can change it to a target hole sight, and you need to change it to a multi-scale sight hole type sight. You have to try it yourself. Change it if it suits you better."
Gao Yang nodded and said, "Okay, but I plan to go to Los Angeles to attend a gun show tomorrow. When will I try?"
Jack looked at Gao Yang and smiled: "Los Angeles Gun Show? I happen to want to go too. We can go together. If you are not in a hurry to use the gun, I will fix it for you when you get back."
Gao Yang smiled and said: "There's no rush. There's no rush this time. Let's go to the gun show together for a few days."
Jack laughed and said loudly: "Okay, let's go to the gun show tomorrow. Oh, and there are skills in using mechanical sights to shoot at long distances. It is very different from using optical sights. I think you need one. The teacher will teach you, just in time, I know a person who is very good at using mechanical sights for long-distance shooting. Did you know that he can hit a one-square-foot target at a distance of 500 meters? He is equipped with all types of A gun with an iron sight, if you are interested, we can visit him, but it is a bit far away, he is in Colorado."
Gao Yang exclaimed: "So powerful? We must go and visit him. Um, wait, when will we go?"
Gao Yang felt a little embarrassed because he was going to travel to Europe after going to Los Angeles with Yelena, and if he went to Colorado, he would have to delay another two days.
At this moment, Yelena smiled and said: "Go to Colorado, I like it there, we must go, my dear, shall we go to Colorado?" (To be continued...) R752
