Chapter 110 Plant a Flag

, firepower is king

Without talent and just practicing hard, you will never become the top marksman.

But only talent means nothing. There are billions of people in this world. How many talented shooters have been buried? Why, because they have never touched a gun, even a super genius doesn't know.

So talent is important, but practice is even more important.

"First thing, take apart your red dot sight."

Thompson excitedly went back to get the gun and returned to the shooting range of the training camp. After looking at the high-gloss gun, the first thing Thompson did was to ask him to remove the scope.

Just dismantle it and lay the foundation first. Gao Guang dismantled his holographic sight and came to Thompson again with the gun in hand.

"Instructor, I'm ready."

Gao Guang was very excited. He wanted to know what Thompson, a gold medal instructor, could teach him.

Thompson looked at the high-gloss gun and saw that there were no extra accessories. He nodded, pointed at the target fifty meters away and said, "Go ahead, aim and shoot."

That's it? Is this what the gold medal instructor said?

Seeing the highlight in a daze, Thompson smiled and said, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Start shooting, lying down."

The sun is quite bright, but the temperature is not too high, and the conditions are not particularly harsh. There is nothing special about just lying on the ground and starting shooting.

Gao Guang lay on the ground, aimed at the iron target fifty meters away and fired.

The first shot hit. Gao Guang looked at Thompson. Thompson spread his hands and said: "Keep shooting. Keep shooting. Aim consciously and fire unconsciously. Let's fire one hundred and twenty rounds first."

Then let's hit. Gao Guang began to aim and shoot seriously, one shot after another. There were no rings on the iron target. Anyway, when you heard the ding, you knew you had hit it.

Mike also lay on the ground practicing shooting, and Thompson would tell Mike from time to time how to hold the gun and how to aim, but he only occasionally glanced at the highlight.

After Gao Guang finished firing the first 30-round magazine, Thompson said nothing, so he fired the second magazine and the third. Anyway, Thompson didn't ask to stop, so he kept firing.

Shooting was a kind of enjoyment for Gao Guang, but he soon stopped enjoying it. The recoil of the HK416 was not very great, but with such continuous shooting, Gao Guang began to feel a little pain in his shoulders.

Thompson found a place to rest. He stayed aside and was very leisurely, and Mike, who was lying next to Gao Guang, suddenly asked: "How many rounds have you fired?"

"One hundred and twenty rounds."

Mike said proudly: "I have fired two hundred rounds of ammunition. Thompson said that after I finish shooting, I can go to combat training. Boss, what is it like to shoot with an absolute gun feel?"

Gao Guang didn't know how to answer Mike's question. He thought for a while and said seriously: "My shoulder started to hurt. Other than that, I didn't feel anything. I don't know how accurate my shooting was. I think it's nothing to practice shooting like this." significance."

Mike smiled and said, "I think it makes sense. You see, I'm much more accurate now. Hey, boss, I noticed that you don't seem to be much more accurate than me."

Shooting a fifty-meter target with a rifle, regardless of how many rings were shot, there really wasn't much difference between Mike and Gao Guang. Anyway, the two of them could hit the target accurately every time they fired.

Gao Guang knew a lot about firearms. He knew all the mainstream rifles in the world, but he really didn't understand how a gunman was trained, so he didn't know the meaning of shooting casually.

Finally, Gao Guang felt his shoulder hurt. He stopped shooting and said to Thompson in the distance: "Instructor, my shoulder is starting to hurt. Do you want to continue shooting?"

Thompson raised his head, looked at the highlight, and said loudly: "Then don't fight, go clean the gun."

Mike didn't feel any pain in his shoulder, but he had long felt that shooting was boring, so when he stood up looking at the highlights, he also stood up.

The two of them arrived in front of the table where bullets and guns were placed, where there were gun cleaning tools and gun oil. Gao Guang sat in front of the table and said to Thompson, who had a leisurely look on his face: "Instructor, I'm just casual. What’s the point of beating?”

Thompson said seriously: "It's very meaningful. You have to improve your familiarity with the rifle. You have to know the recoil of the 5.56nato bullet. You have to know the feeling of pulling the trigger every time. You have to understand the flight time of the bullet, and trajectory."

Gao Guang said in shock: "But at a distance of fifty meters, the ballistics will not change, and there is almost no flight time. I hit the target when I fired. If I want to be familiar with the ballistics, shouldn't I shoot farther?" ?”

This is a very serious discussion, and a rookie needs to clear up his doubts, so Thompson said very seriously: "First learn to crawl, then learn to walk, and finally learn to run."

"Uh, okay, but should I keep practicing like this? How far can I practice before I can move on to the next step?"

Gao Guang just wants to know how far he can practice to achieve his initial goal, so now he needs Thompson to give him a goal so that practice will not be too boring.

Thompson thought for a while and said: "Practice until you can feel the difference between M193 and M855. Practice until you can feel the difference when firing ordinary bullets and armor-piercing bullets. Practice until you can feel the difference by shooting when firing tracer bullets. That’s it.”

What Thompson said was beyond Gao Guang's knowledge. He had never seen anyone practicing like this anywhere. It seemed that Thompson was teaching him to learn and recognize bullets instead of practicing marksmanship.

The M193 bullet is the old NATO standard 5.5855, which is also SS109. This is the current NATO standard bullet. There are still differences between the two. However, it is not only difficult to feel the difference between the two bullets through shooting, but also a bit fanciful. Tan felt it.

"Can you feel the difference in bullets? Is it really possible?"

Thompson nodded and said seriously: "Yes, I don't know how many bullets you use to feel it, but I know you can definitely do it. This doesn't even require talent. If you shoot enough bullets, you will definitely be able to feel it." Discover the difference.”

Mike looked horrified and said: "Do I need to practice like this too?"

"You don't have to. I'm training him according to the method of training super shooters. As for you..." Thompson looked at Mike and said, "You just need to train normally."

Thompson's words were very helpful to Gao Guang, so he said without hesitation: "Okay, I will keep practicing."

"There are many, many types of guns, but there are only so many types of bullets. I don't ask you to be familiar with all gun types, but I ask you to be familiar with one type of bullet. Both pistols and rifles need to be familiar with one type of bullet. Use one type of gun to shoot this type of bullet." When shooting bullets, you don’t need to think or calculate. The trajectory of the ballistics is just like the trajectory of your fist, which can be completely controlled by you.”

It sounds quite mysterious, but since Thompson said so, he should have a reason.

Gao Guang looked at Thompson with admiring authority and said, "Can you tell me which bullet is the best? And, instructor, can you shoot a few shots for me to see?"

Thompson did not hesitate. He stretched out his hand to pass the high-gloss rifle. Then he did not raise the gun. He just said calmly: "Is your gun accurate? Is the mechanical sight accurate?"

"Accurate, everything is accurate."

While talking, Thompson did not raise the gun or aim, and it was the first time he touched Gao Guang's rifle. However, after Gao Guang said that his gun was very accurate, Thompson suddenly turned around and raised the gun. Without aiming at the right time, it's just a shot.

The setting of the shooting range was relatively complicated. Tom was shooting at a human-shaped target 300 meters away, and it was a movable type, which meant that the target would fall after being hit.

Gao Guang saw Thompson raising his gun and shooting, and then after a very short interval, the iron target, which could not be seen clearly from a distance, suddenly fell.

There was a feeling that the legend became reality and suddenly came out. Gao Guang was strongly shocked, because the distance of three hundred meters was too far for him. It was impossible for him to use a rifle without the help of a scope. Hitting a target at such a distance is even more impossible to turn around and hit, and it's the kind where there's almost no time to aim.

It was indeed a bit unbelievable, Gao Guang didn’t even know what to say.

Thompson turned off the safety on the gun, put the gun in his high-gloss hand with a calm expression, and said with a smile: "I am a good shooter. I can use an assault rifle to hit my target within 320 meters, but I am not The top shooter, because I can hit a fixed target, but I can’t hit a moving target, so do you know what a real top shooter is like?”

"how is it like……"

Thompson stretched out his hand, pointed at the target he had just aimed at, and said calmly: "Seeing it means hitting it. No matter whether the target is walking or running, let me give you a target to look up to. A guy I know, When shooting at a moving target at this distance, he will predict the enemy's avoidance direction, determine the target's speed, and then fire a shot that is sure to hit."

Gao Guang thought Thompson had finished speaking, but Thompson continued: "If the enemy adopts a way of avoiding, such as shaking left and right, then this guy will fire one shot to the left and right of the target to ensure that there is always a bullet that can hit the target. enemy."

Gao Guang took a deep breath and asked doubtfully: "Can it be done to this extent?"

"Yes, it really is possible. As I have always emphasized, hit when you see it. This is the best gunman on the battlefield and the most terrifying killer."

With longing in his heart, Gao Guang subconsciously asked: "Is he a sniper? Who is he?"

"Don't be fooled by the movies. If you're not a good shooter, you must be a sniper, because you can't restrict him with a fixed position. He chooses the gun he wants to use based on his needs. He can be an assaulter, a precision shooter, or a sniper. Hand, he can appear in any position as long as necessary, so he has only one position, shooter, that's it."

After finishing speaking, Thompson patted Gaoguang's shoulder and smiled: "I can't tell you his name, but I can tell you that the way you train now is what this guy came up with. This is the way to train super shooters. , It’s not useful for ordinary people, it’s only useful for people who have an absolute sense of gun. Oh, and let’s talk about it, this guy also proposed it. No one seemed to have used this word before him.”

Gao Guang couldn't hear the words "super shooter", it felt like he was getting bloodshot when he heard it, just like Mike couldn't hear the word "star", blood rushed to his forehead.

Motivated by Thompson's words, Gao Guang just wanted to shoot another three hundred rounds immediately, so he immediately said: "Instructor, thank you for telling me this. I will practice now. I will definitely become a super shooter! I can definitely do it!"
