Chapter 869 Unique Weapon

The blockade was broken through very easily. In fact, it can't be called a blockade. It was just eight ships placed on the water to intercept it. If the firepower on the ships was still there, it would be able to target small boats trying to pass between the two ships. It posed a great threat, and once the firepower on the ship was knocked out, it passed easily.

Gao Yang and their ship passed between two log ships that were more than 200 meters apart. The happiest person at this time was the captain. He was really scared at the beginning, but within a few minutes, he was safe and sound. Can you be unhappy when you get the US dollars?

Keeping vigilance, watching the lumber ship that was behind him getting further and further away, and not having to worry that the lumber ship would catch up, Gao Yang put away his gun, whistled, and said, "It's done."

The bearded man took back the machine gun, stretched out his hand to Tommy, who had been serving as his assistant shooter, and said, "Thank you for your help. We cooperate very well."

Tommy shook hands with the bearded man and said with a smile: "You played well."

The bearded man glanced at Grolev, then shook his head dejectedly and said: "Man, I believe you are not making fun of me, but if you say that I played very well, then I have to redefine the word very well, and it will be different from the word "very good". Compared to him, I felt like I was touching a gun for the first time.”

Looking at the bearded Grolev pointing at him, Tommy smiled and said: "Don't compare with him. In fact, you are really good at fighting, suppressing and killing well."

The bearded man shook his head and said: "People can directly suppress heavy machine guns outside the shooting range without test firing, but I don't even dare to think about it. Forget it. Don't say it, don't say it, I won't say it anymore from now on. He said he was a good machine gunner."

The focus of the machine gunner is the machine gunner. Precision shooters or snipers must also be paying attention to their peers. The bearded man was severely beaten by Grolev, but the snake-eating mongoose is completely devoted to Gao Yangfu.

After passing Tribogrolev, the snake-eating mongoose walked up to Gao Yang, looked at the Satan Blade in Gao Yang's hand, and said in a puzzled and curious tone: "Specially made?"

"Yes, tailor-made."

"The bullets too? Are they manually reloaded?"

Gao Yang smiled and said: "No. It's a new type of bullet, long range and high speed. It's not available on the market. It was originally developed for the civilian market. Now it has successfully received an order from the US military, so it is no longer available for the civilian market. In addition to being too expensive, This bullet has no other shortcomings."

The snake-eating mongoose had an envious look on his face. He wanted to see Gao Yang's gun and what kind of bullets Gao Yang used, but these were things that a mercenary would keep strictly confidential, but they made him embarrassed to speak.

Gao Yang knew what the snake-eating mongoose was thinking.

He smiled and took out a magazine. After pushing a bullet out of the magazine, he handed it to the snake-eating mongoose and said, "Here. Take a look."

After thanking the snake-eating mongoose, he took the bullet Gao Yang gave him and said, "This is the bullet specification. I think your gun barrel is longer. Does it have to be matched with your gun to fully exert the power of this bullet?"

Experts will tell you that the barrel of Gao Yang's Satan's Blade is one inch longer than the ordinary M14 gun family. Although this extra inch adds some inconvenience to carrying, it can fully utilize the characteristics of this long-range high-speed bullet. come out.

Cui Bo uses the same bullets as Gao Yang, but his barrel is shorter than Gao Yang's. Although the same bullets were used, they could not reach 1,300 meters. It can only increase the accurate shooting range from 600 meters to more than 800 meters. Of course, for a gun that has not undergone major modifications such as lengthening the barrel, the effective and accurate shooting range has been increased by more than 200 meters, which is quite good. .

After hearing the snake-eating mongoose's question, Cui Bo smiled and said: "It's good to know. Don't think that you can be like him just by changing the bullets. His gun is the only one in the world. Unless you can shoot it yourself first." It's a steel mill, but you can try to find these bullets to buy, which can at least increase your shooting range by a hundred meters."

The snake-eating mongoose hesitated for a moment and said to Gao Yang, "Is this kind of bullet very difficult to buy?"

Gao Yang shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's very difficult to buy. When this bullet was first promoted in the civilian market, it was relatively easy to buy. But now, the military orders can't be satisfied, so it's no longer a waste of money." Problem that can be solved.”

The snake-eating mongoose refused to give up. He held a bullet given by Gao Yang in his hand and said solemnly: "Can you resell some to me? No matter how much it is."

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "Man, this kind of bullet is now priced at one hundred dollars a round, and you can't buy it."

The snake-eating mongoose took a breath of air. Not many people could afford bullets worth a hundred dollars each. Anyway, Gao Yang would only use them when hitting long-distance targets. As for close targets, of course he would use them. Ordinary bullets.

Ordinary military bullets are extremely cheap. Many ordinary bullets on the civilian market are as expensive as a dollar a round. How many rounds can one dollar buy for the same bullet purchased by the military? Even bullets used for precision shooting only cost a few dollars a round. It's very expensive. God damn it, it can't even cost ten dollars.

Bullets, as long as they are produced in large quantities, are not worth much except for the raw materials. Copper bullets are expensive, while iron bullets are cheap. The steel-cased military surplus bullets made in the Soviet era were sold in large quantities by Russian fire dealers. At that time, a box of 1,000 rounds sold for ten dollars, which was a high price.

As long as the raw materials are available for ordinary bullets, hundreds of thousands can be produced in a day on the assembly line. But good bullets for accurate shooting are different. The processing is too difficult. If mass production is carried out on the assembly line, it will not be enough. It is a production line machine and equipment, and the processing accuracy requirements are at least two levels higher than those of ordinary bullet production lines.

To give a simple analogy, a production line to produce ordinary bullets can be purchased for one million U.S. dollars, while a production line to produce high-precision bullets will cost ten million U.S. dollars. This is like ordinary lathes and CNC machine tools in machining. difference.

If you have higher accuracy requirements, you can only rely on manual labor. No matter how accurate the machine is, there will be an error value, so most good shooters will eventually have to resort to manual loading.

The demand for the bullets used by Gao Yang is still too small, because there are too few shooters who can take advantage of the performance of this bullet, and ordinary soldiers cannot use it or see it in the military market. For a sniper, shooting 700 to 800 meters is already the limit. Ordinary bullets are accurate enough. There are only a few super snipers in the world who can shoot a super sniper at a distance of a thousand meters with a medium caliber, not to mention that once the distance reaches a distance of more than a thousand meters, a large-caliber rifle can be used.

In the civilian market, only a very small number of people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy such bullets. Producing hundreds of thousands of bullets can saturate the market for many years.

There are too many things that have been researched but will not be mass-produced in the end. Because the price/performance ratio is too low, it is not worth investing too much capital in the top small market. Just like the Satan's Blade barrel steel used by Gao Yang, it is a typical example. It is not worth it to build and maintain a high-cost production line for just hundreds or thousands of guns.

so what. The bullets used by Gao Yang now use high-precision processing to produce warheads and cartridge cases, as well as extremely demanding production of propellants. Finally, the manufacturer uses some experienced workers to manually load them, and has a very high elimination rate of defective products. In order to maintain the next production line for producing super bullets, the process and materials must be kept confidential, and it is impossible to let other manufacturers increase production. It’s strange that the output can be high.

Especially after the US military decided to purchase this kind of bullet, all the production capacity was not enough for the US military, and the civilian market naturally had to step aside.

Gao Yang took advantage of Jack's well-informed approach and took action early. After finally getting a batch of bullets, one shot was missing and the other was missing. How could it be resold? So he just smiled and said nothing and did not accept the words of the snake-eating meerkat at all.

Seeing Gao Yang's expression, the snake-eating mongoose sighed. He said helplessly: "Okay, I'd better give up. In fact, I don't have to use it. My gun doesn't have much effect on targets eight hundred meters away. Besides, I can use a large-caliber rifle."

Cui Bo smiled and said: "It's smart to use 7.62mm bullets to hit a target a thousand meters away. Why bother? We can definitely use 12.7mm bullets."

The snake-eating mongoose shrugged and said, "I can't do it."

Cui Bo shook his head and said, "Why bother saying it? Of course I know you can't do it, and I can't do it either."

After spreading his hand and looking at the bullet in his hand, the snake-eating mongoose shook his head and sighed: "I'd better give it back to you. I originally wanted to shoot a few rounds to get a feel for it, but forget it. This thing is too precious, so I'll give it back." It’s ready for you.”

Gao Yang didn't mind giving dozens of bullets to the snake-eating mongoose. He had just made 30 million from someone, so it would be trivial to give away thousands of dollars. But he didn't know the ballistic table, so dozens of bullets were meaningless. It is impossible to compile a complete ballistic table even if it is destroyed.

It is absolutely true that war is a waste of money. Gao Yang and Jack fired nearly two thousand rounds of ammunition together before they came up with a detailed and accurate ballistic table. Moreover, Gao Yang had the only gun. For guns with different tube lengths, the data produced by Gao Yang is of no use at all. Therefore, Cui Bo's gun has not yet produced a ballistic table for the full range. If he wants to know the ballistic table, he must either find this kind of long-range high-speed bullet. For the ballistic table when shooting with -h, either use a gun with the same data as Gao Yang, or shoot it yourself.

When the country develops military bullets for replacement, it must be tested by many people from the very beginning. The test firing of hundreds of thousands of bullets is the basic starting number. Once determined, it will take at least several decades, so the bullets It is more important than guns. It is not about manufacturing bullets for a certain gun, but about equipping guns around large-scale manufactured bullets. The guns of an army of a big country can be changed frequently, but the bullets cannot be changed often, because once they are changed, it is a big move. .

For a niche bullet developed by a civilian gun and ammunition manufacturer, the manufacturer will provide basic ballistic data. But the problem is that Gao Yang uses an extremely personalized gun to shoot, so he has to experiment by himself. He fired it with two thousand rounds of bullets. A complete ballistic table that can only be used by yourself costs two hundred thousand dollars. This is the price you have to pay as a pioneer to become familiar with a new bullet from scratch.

Sniping doesn't just require a sniper rifle. If you can't even memorize the ballistic table, a sniper rifle is far inferior to an assault rifle. Therefore, a person who has never touched a sniper rifle will not be able to use the bullet at a close distance. It's okay within the straight ballistic range. If you know the zeroing distance of the scope, it's normal to hit the target. If the distance is far away, you can still shoot one at a time, which is pure nonsense. (To be continued)
