Chapter 128: Can't Hit the Target? It's Just a Fear of Inadequate Firepower_3
"Why didn't I feel anything?"
As he spoke, he even did a chest expansion exercise...
Apart from some numbness in the web of his thumb, he really didn't feel very tired...
Listening to Gu Heng, Zheng Yong felt his own hands trembling slightly, and his expressionless face couldn't help but twitch covertly...
Every time Gu Heng fired, he had steadily managed the horizon for him...
It's no exaggeration to say, most of the recoil of the gun was borne by him, and he was essentially a human gun mount...
Gu Heng only needed to keep pulling the trigger, how tiring could that be?
"Does Mr. Gu still need to replenish 9mm bullets?"
Gu Heng pondered for two seconds, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I've had enough of handguns, let's try the rifles."
After finishing, he turned to Coach Zheng and asked, "Coach Zheng, where's the rifle range?"
"This way."
Without saying much, Zheng Yong led Gu Heng towards the rifle range...
Compared with the deserted handgun firing points, there were many more people at the rifle range...
Obviously...
The people who came to Bila Mountain Shooting Range were here to experience shooting rifles.
Gu Heng also spotted two acquaintances, namely Red Hair and Yellow Hair, who Wu Yifeng had introduced to him that day.
But Gu Heng merely nodded at them and didn't go up to greet them, instead he went straight to the firing point Coach Zheng had arranged for him.
"Mr. Gu, this is the 120-meter rifle range, which is the closest one among the rifle ranges and quite suitable for a beginner like you."
Gu Heng didn't take it as belittlement, as he was indeed a shooting novice; there was no need to pretend otherwise.
Although he could buy shooting skills through the system, it wasn't necessary.
He enjoyed this feeling of experience...
What's the point of hitting the target with every shot and astonishing others?
If he wanted to show off, there were countless ways to do so, there was no need to sacrifice his experience for the sake of showing off.
Two minutes later, Zheng Yong came over with a beautifully designed rifle.
When Gu Heng saw this rifle, his eyes lit up: "I know this one, it's the M416, right?"
Zheng Yong shook his head at these words.
"You're not the first person to mistake this rifle. Others have also called this rifle the M416, but that's a misconception caused by games.
There is actually no such thing as the M416 rifle in reality. This is the HK416 automatic rifle, a synthesis of the M4A1 and the G36 assault rifles, and, like the AK-47, it's a world-classic assault rifle."
Hearing Coach Zheng's explanation, Gu Heng just listened briefly.
Whether it's called M416 or HK416 didn't matter to him; he just wanted to fire it fiercely!
"Rifle shooting is very different from handgun shooting, even the rifles with the least recoil have more kick than handguns, Mr. Gu must be careful not to shoot the same way as with the handgun."
Gu Heng nonchalantly nodded his head.
Zheng Yong knew Gu Heng wasn't really listening and could only helplessly ask the staff to load the bullets...
The HK416, now loaded with bullets, was handed to Gu Heng solemnly by Zheng Yong...
After explaining some basic shooting knowledge, he once again extended his hands to steady the gun for Gu Heng.
"Bang!"
One shot fired, and the muzzle noticeably rose by half a centimeter...
But it was quickly pushed back down by Zheng Yong...
Gu Heng: "???"
"Why did only one shot fire?"
Upon hearing Gu Heng's question, Zheng Yong was slightly surprised, then explained, "I set it to single-shot for you; once you're used to it, I'll switch it to fully automatic."
Gu Heng frowned but didn't say much, then fired the bullets one after another...
Before long, all 30 rounds had been fired...
Since Zheng Yong had been supporting the gun for him and the recoil of single shots was not much more than that of a handgun, aside from a different grip, Gu Heng didn't feel the difference between rifle and handgun...
The rifle target was 120 meters away...
"Did I hit the target?"
It was hard to confirm with the naked eye whether he hit the target or not. The observer, peering through a telescope, said, "No, all 30 were misses."
Gu Heng: "???"
Thirty shots.
Not a single hit? Your next journey awaits at empire
Is the gap between switching from handguns to rifles that big?
He used to hit the target before, and now none of the 30 rounds hit?
Coach Zheng then explained to Gu Heng, "Although rifles are a bit more precise than handguns, 120 meters is still quite far. It's normal for a first-timer not to hit the target."
Gu Heng just frowned, handed the rifle over to the staff, who then passed another rifle to Zheng Yong.
"Turn on the auto mode for this one, the single-shot experience is too poor."
Zheng Yong was about to persuade him further, but seeing Gu Heng's frowning face, he didn't say anything else...
After reintroducing the rifle to Gu Heng, he switched it to fully automatic mode, one hand steadying the gun for Gu Heng, the other supporting his back...
"Bang bang bang..."
This time, after Gu Heng kept the trigger pressed, bullets burst from the muzzle one by one...
Even with an adjusted rate of fire, it took only a few seconds to shoot all 30 rounds...
This time, Gu Heng finally experienced the charm of a fully automatic rifle...
The intense thrill was simply too strong...
But the expected recoil was there...
Even with Zheng Yong's support, Gu Heng's body took two steps back, and his hand on the gun began to feel numb...
Despite wearing ear protection, it still felt a bit uncomfortable.
Removing his earplugs, Gu Heng didn't notice Zheng Yong's trembling left hand and asked the observer, "Did I hit the target this time?"
"No."
The observer shook his head regretfully...
Gu Heng's stubbornness flared up, and he turned to the staff behind him who were reloading the bullets and said, "Arrange two more loaders for me; as soon as I finish the bullets in my hands, give me another gun immediately!"
