Chapter 1185 The Correct Way to Use the Box Cannon
Gao Yang took out a large number of guns from the box. The gun was made in Germany, an M712 from the Mauser Arsenal. The gun had a detachable twenty-round magazine.
The gun Gao Yang picked up looked very old. The bluing in many places on the gun body had been worn away, especially the joint between the barrel and the gun body, which had been worn to reveal the whitish color of the steel. However, although it was polished It's powerful, but the gun is not broken. It's obvious that the previous user of this gun was very careful.
What attracted Gao Yang's attention, and what excited Gao Yang, was that he saw that the sight of the gun was frustrated, and the top of the muzzle appeared bare.
After Gao Yang took the gun out of the box, he asked Federer in a trembling voice: "Can this gun still be fired?"
Federer looked at the gun held by Gao Yang and shrugged: "I remember that this gun can still fire. Unfortunately, this gun has been artificially damaged. I originally planned to disassemble the parts, but the rest of the gun is complete. And it's in good condition. I didn't disassemble the parts from it and install it on other guns. Obviously, after the front sight was rubbed off, it can only be classified as a damaged gun. I will store this gun in a poor quality or damaged gun. It’s in the box.”
Gao Yang glanced at Federer in surprise and said, "You have been collecting Mauser pistols for so long, and you have only seen this gun with its sight derailed? Also, don't you know why this gun has its sight derailed?" "
Federer said in surprise: "To be honest, I only have one Mauser original rapid-fire model without a front sight. There are almost no imported pistols with obvious defects like this. So, why do you want to frustrate the front sight?"
Gao Yang breathed out, then he lifted up his shirt, put the gun in his waistband, then put his shirt down and said to Federer: "Do you understand now?"
Federer still looked puzzled and said: "Just for the convenience of carrying it close to the body? Oh, I understand. Is it to facilitate the quick release of the gun?"
Gao Yang nodded and said solemnly: "That's right. Just to get out the gun quickly."
Federer frowned and said, "You don't need to set back the crosshair when you shoot the gun quickly. The speed is not much different, but without the crosshair, you won't be able to aim accurately if the distance is slightly longer."
Gao Yang shook his head and said: "No, no, you don't understand the environment in which this gun is used. The speed difference is very important."
Cui Bo also said with a look of confusion: "Brother Yang, please explain carefully. Why do you need to set back the sight?"
Gao Yang patted the pistol in his waist. Then he said to Cui Bo and Li Jinfang: "Have you seen the Plains Guerrillas?"
Cui Bo smiled and said: "Of course I have seen it, Li Xiangyang with Two Guns."
Gao Yang nodded and said: "Since you have seen it, have you noticed a detail inside? Li Xiangyang used two guns, one was fixed on the armed belt with a simple clip, and the other was It's inserted diagonally into the right arm belt on the stomach."
Li Jinfang said in a deep voice: "Yes, that's right. I remember clearly that this is how the gun is loaded."
Gao Yang sighed: "Plain Guerrilla was filmed in 1955, not long after the end of the war. At that time, both the director and the actors were very knowledgeable, especially the prop team. The prop guns they prepared were really meticulous and meticulous. There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s nothing like those crappy movies made nowadays, with all kinds of guns randomly stuffed into the movie. Well, that’s a long way off.”
After a pause. Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "The two guns used by Li Xiangyang both have large mirrors with fixed magazines, but if you look carefully, you can find that there are differences. Of the two guns used by Li Xiangyang, the one on the right hand has the front sight polished off. Yes, the one on the left hand has a crosshair, do you know why?"
Cui Bo scratched his head and asked, "Why?"
Gao Yang laughed and said: "You pull out a gun with your right hand and shoot at close range. At that time, Chinese people basically wore cloth belts, and the front sight was easy to hang. Especially during makeup reconnaissance and other operations behind enemy lines, the armed belt would definitely not be able to reach the front sight, and the front sight would be damaged. When you pull it out, it will definitely not get caught on your belt or clothes. The left hand pistol comes with a front sight for precise aiming at long distances and you can also attach the gun case as a butt.
Because of this, at that time, many people who needed to go deep behind enemy lines and move in enemy-occupied areas needed to carry guns concealed. Once there was a situation, they needed to draw out their guns quickly. It took only a few tenths of a second to decide whether to fire first, so it was difficult to lose sight of the enemy. It is very necessary. "
Li Jinfang said with a look of surprise on his face: "I didn't know there was such a subtle difference. I'll watch Plains Guerrillas again later."
Gao Yang smiled, pulled out the pistol in his waist and said: "This is a short-barreled Zilaidi. The barrel is already short, so there is no need to saw it shorter. Moreover, this is a twenty-ring pot-bellied box." , it is still authentically made in Germany. It can be pulled out and fired continuously to sweep across the area. It is much more precious than a semi-automatic gun with a fixed magazine of ten rounds. Therefore, this gun must be used by people who often conduct reconnaissance behind enemy lines. It must be a master, otherwise If so, considering how precious a big-bellied box was at that time, you would think someone would be willing to frustrate the crosshairs for nothing."
In order to take care of Federer, Gao Yang spoke in English. After the explanation, Federer also said with a look of surprise: "So that's it, I understand, well, I am very interested in this gun, very interested."
Gao Yang was afraid that Federer would hide the gun again, so he immediately said urgently: "Mr. Federer, let's take a few test shots first, okay?"
Federer looked at the gun that Gao Yang was holding and refused to let go, hesitated for a moment, and finally shrugged: "Well, it's really time to test fire. Let me see how you use this gun."
Gao Yang was very happy. He picked up a bunch of picked guns and left the basement. Then he picked up the seven guns that he had picked out. He called Jack and the others, and they were going to the shooting range together to test fire.
Federer's house is very nice, because what is particularly rare is that his house also comes with a small outdoor private shooting range.
Just behind Federer's house, in a small forest, an open space was opened up that was 200 meters long and about 30 meters wide. At the end of the open space was a slope made of dirt, which was the shooting range.
There are many iron targets arranged in the shooting range, ranging from far to near, large and small, and there is also a large iron table placed just before entering the shooting range.
Gao Yang and the others took guns, and Federer took a roll of cowhide, and also used a small basket to carry several boxes of bullets and bullet bridges for loading bullets.
He spread the cowhide on the iron table, put the bullets up, opened a box of bullets and poured them into the basket. Federer picked up a bullet bridge and said with a smile: "Come on, shoot as many bullets as you like, I'll treat you."
Gao Yang smiled and said, "Thank you then."
Federer smiled and said: "Let me see how you shoot. If your marksmanship is bad, maybe I won't be so generous. 7.63x25mm Mauser bullets are not cheap."
Gao Yang also picked up a bullet bridge, first loaded the bullet on the bullet bridge, and then used the bullet bridge to load the bullet into a long-tube large mirror made in Spain, and then loaded the gun into the original wooden gun box. Hanging on the shoulder.
After loading the bullets of a gun, Gao Yang took out the gun without sight and unloaded the magazine. Because it had been a long time, Gao Yang did not fill up the magazine in order not to damage the spring, but loaded it directly into the magazine. Fourteen rounds.
Watching Gao Yang load the bullets, Federer smiled and said: "Are you ready? I'll fire a few shots first."
Federer raised a Mauser C96 and started shooting. His gun shot very accurately, but the rate of fire was very slow. The muzzle of the Mauser C96 jumped very sharply. Federer had to adjust the posture of the gun before taking a look. Only then can we continue to shoot.
After five shots, Federer hit five iron targets. After he put down the gun, he smiled at Gao Yang and said, "Come on, let me see how your shooting skills are."
Gao Yang opened the trigger of the gun, put the aim-flattened gun in his waistband, then walked a few steps forward and stopped when he was about ten meters away from a row of small iron targets.
After looking back, Gao Yang nodded and said solemnly: "I'm going to start."
After saying that, Gao Yang turned his head, quickly reached into his clothes, pulled out the big-bellied box without a sight, stretched the gun forward and then pulled the trigger.
Gunshots rang out continuously, and the big-bellied box in Gao Yang's hand swept across from right to left, and the small iron target in front of Gao Yang immediately made a continuous sound of tinkling sounds.
After firing about ten bullets and hitting four small iron targets, Gao Yang stopped shooting with his right hand and slapped the gun box on his waist with his left hand. After opening the lid of the box, he reached out and took out the long gun from inside. The large mirror of the tube was lifted up and fired at the iron target more than forty meters away.
Gao Yang's left pistol was held horizontally, raised relatively high, aiming at eye level and shooting at a target forty or fifty meters away. As for the gun in his right hand, he continued to fire at this time, but at a higher position. Low, but also with the muzzle horizontal, hitting the target more than ten meters in front of him one shot at a time.
Shooting continuously with two guns is easier said than done. It doesn't matter if you hold it up and shoot blindly. There are too few people who can shoot a bow with their left hand and still shoot accurately. As for two guns, one shooting far and one shooting close, the aim is It's even more difficult when the targets are not on the same line. If you haven't played it yourself, you can't imagine how difficult it is.
The gun in Gao Yang's left hand was held diagonally, and the time it took to readjust the muzzle was much shorter than Federer's. However, the gun in his right hand didn't listen at all. He hit wherever he pointed and quickly fired the bullets in the gun. Bare.
Gao Yang's fighting style is amazing, and his shooting skills are even more terrifying. Anyone who has never seen Gao Yang shoot must be shocked.
After shooting all the bullets, Gao Yang breathed out a sigh of relief. When he turned around and walked back, he saw Federer giving him a thumbs up, and then said with an understanding face: "I understand now." Now I finally understand the correct way to use this gun. It turns out that this is how you use Mauser pistols. No wonder, no wonder Mauser C96 is only popular in China, no wonder." (To be continued.) R752
