Chapter 353 Sniper Rifle
Dominic seemed to see through Ciel's thoughts, and he was quite unconvinced: "I know I'm not suitable, but everyone who goes to the battlefield has to go through this stage, and they all have a process from being unfit to adapting... "
Ciel interrupted Dominic: "You are right, but many people are already corpses before they adapt."
Dominic was speechless.
What Charles said was true. Dominic had no other strengths except his knowledge of guns. His fat figure was fatal on the battlefield.
Not to mention whether he can run fast, just being almost twice as big as an ordinary person will make him easier to be discovered by enemies.
"Everyone has his position, Dominic." Charles said: "Your position is to deliver better, more accurate, and more suitable guns to the frontline soldiers. This is far more useful than going to the battlefield in person. Much more.”
Dominic agreed with Ciel, but he didn't care.
"I don't care about that, General." Dominic replied, "This may disappoint you, but..."
Ciel nodded. This was Dominic's persistence. He only had guns in his mind. As for whether his contribution to the country was big or small, it had nothing to do with him.
He wanted to go to the battlefield not to fight for France, but to improve his psychological quality and control of his gun.
At this time, a thought suddenly jumped into Charles' mind: "Perhaps, you can improve yourself without going to the battlefield."
Dominic smiled bitterly: "Thank you, General. But I don't think such a good thing will happen."
This was almost like giving up. He insisted that the next stage of challenge was to go to the battlefield, and the only question before him was whether to go or not.
Charles didn't say anything. He stood up and stood in front of Dominic, stretched out his hand and raised the rifle in Dominic's hand.
Dominic understood what Ciel meant, and he hesitantly handed the rifle into Ciel's hands.
Charles took the rifle and took out the telescope from his waist, put its single-sided lens tube on the rifle, and returned it to Dominic.
Dominic took the rifle in confusion, he didn't understand what it meant.
But at Charles's signal, he stood up, raised his gun and looked into the distance. Then he suddenly turned his head to look at Charles and exclaimed: "God, you mean to combine the telescope and the rifle?"
"Why not?" Charles said: "This will allow you to see the target in the distance clearly, and your marksmanship can instantly improve to several levels."
Dominic was so excited that he tried again and said excitedly: "Amazing idea, General. It's even easy to implement, just add a telescope."
"We should add a slide to the rifle," Schaal said.
"Sliding rail?" Dominic was a little confused about this.
But he quickly understood and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, add the slide rail to make it detachable. Sometimes it is needed and sometimes not, such as charging towards the enemy. In addition, the slide rail makes it detachable and easier to replace."
The more Dominic thought about it, the more he was right, and his breathing gradually became faster: "That's great, General. I, I can't wait to see what it looks like. I should produce it now..."
He actually wanted to see how far he could shoot with this weapon.
But Ciel didn't let him go. Now that everything was said, Ciel thought it was time for the submachine gun to appear.
"We should discuss another issue." Charles raised his head in the direction of Billy Shen.
The latter is practicing at the shooting range wearing a gas mask. He hopes to find out the rules of the refraction angle of the gas mask. One day, when the battlefield environment forces him to fight under this condition, he will not miss the target like last time.
This is the advantage of Shen Billy. He is very purposeful and targeted, and can overcome the difficulties in front of him and adapt to the new environment in the shortest possible time.
He knew that if he didn't do this, he might not be able to come back alive from the next battle.
"You mean to equip a sniper company with this kind of gun equipped with a telescope?" Dominic guessed.
"Yes." Charles replied: "This way they can hit farther targets with higher accuracy."
Dominic said "hmm" with some confusion on his face: "You only want it to be equipped with elite troops. I thought just now that you planned to modify all rifles like this."
"No, Dominic." Charles smiled and shook his head: "Ordinary soldiers don't need this. Their combat environment and quality determine that it will be useless."
This is not a matter of cost, but that ordinary soldiers on the frontal battlefield are more demanding about the rate of fire. They need to fire more bullets at the fastest speed to block the crowds rushing towards them. At this time, installing a sight will not emphasize accuracy. It doesn't make much sense unless the human wave tactic completely disappears.
"No problem, General." Dominic nodded and said, "I will produce this gun soon. It won't take long."
He wanted to leave again, anxious to produce this new gun.
"That's not what I want to say." Charles stopped him again: "We need another gun, a gun that can provide cover for the rifle, a gun used by observers."
As an instructor at the police training base, and an instructor who is interested in guns, Dominic naturally knows about the two-man coordination team of the sniper company.
"I heard about it." Dominic replied: "Billy Shen told me that the observer needs a gun. He thinks that this gun should have a short barrel but a high rate of fire to provide cover for the shooter when the enemy launches a group charge. ”
Charles was a little surprised. He didn't tell Shen Billy about this. Shen Billy analyzed it himself, and it was accurate.
From this point of view, Shen Billy is indeed an amazing talent.
Then Dominic said helplessly: "But unfortunately, we don't have this kind of gun. I have considered the 'Saint Etienne 2' light machine gun, but after we tried it, we all agreed that its gun body is too long and needs to be equipped with a deputy shooter, which is obviously not suitable for observers."
"Have you considered pistol bullets?" Charles asked calmly.
"Pistol bullets?" Dominic looked at Charles, and then immediately realized: "You mean to use pistol bullets to develop a high-rate gun, a new gun?"
"Yes." Charles nodded: "Pistol bullets have less charge and less recoil. It is not difficult to produce a machine gun-like gun with it to achieve the two requirements of short gun body and high rate of fire, right?"
Dominic's eyes were instantly widened like copper bells, staring at Charles for a long time without reacting.
This is indeed not difficult. If you switch to pistol bullets, or even shorten the gun body of the "Saint-Etienne 2", you can achieve it.
But no one thought of this!
