Cheng Wei has been staying at this shooting training camp for two weeks since the day he arrived.
He had never been exposed to guns in China. The most pitiful thing was that this kid never went to college, so he never missed the only opportunity to shoot a gun during the military training in his freshman year.
Ever since he arrived at the training camp and started taking classes, from general firearms knowledge to correct shooting postures, firearm maintenance, bullet selection, etc., he was like an idiot and had to learn everything from the beginning.
When inspecting a gun before each use, it is necessary to complete the four-step process of ejecting the magazine, pulling the bolt, checking the chamber, and pulling the trigger on a worthless target.
In the first week, Cheng Wei would forget one step every time. In the end, the Chinese man named Bao was so angry that he kicked him. He said, Cheng Wen, if you don't get rid of this problem, big trouble will happen if you don't use the gun properly in the future.
of.
This middle-aged Chinese man whose surname is Bao has lived overseas for many years. He joined the Rangers and went to Iraq. After retiring, he opened a gun shop with his wife. Over the years, he has become very proficient in all kinds of firearms knowledge. Cheng Wen’s name
It's Brother Bao.
In the past two years, Chinese people who traveled abroad wanted to play with firearms that were difficult to touch at home. Brother Bao saw that there was business to be done here, so he opened a shooting training camp specifically for domestic tourists to allow them to play with guns and target.
Provide professional services to domestic tourists.
Brother Bao saw that Cheng Wei had no foundation at all, so he advised him to start from the elementary level and join the intermediate class, so as to achieve better learning results.
The first lesson that Brother Bao taught Cheng Wei was that it is not what gun you choose, but what kind of bullets you choose. Bullets are what can kill the target, and the gun is just a carrier of bullets, a tool.
Cheng Wei was stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself, "Fuck me. I've seen many types of guns in movies and TV shows. How could he understand bullets?"
So I looked at the row of bullets on the table. The big ones were machine gun bullets and the small ones were air gun bullets. So I pointed to the one in the middle of the row, and that was it.
Brother Bao took a look and saw that it was a 5.56mm NATO round.
Okay, now that the bullets have been selected, what about the gun? Brother Bao pointed at a dozen semi-automatic rifles of different styles placed behind him and asked Cheng Wen to choose.
This kid took a fancy to the most popular HK416 in the "Chicken Game" at a glance. "I choose this." The gun Cheng Wei chose is actually the civilian version of HK416 MR556A1. The difference is that it can only fire semi-automatically.
"Are you sure you choose this gun? Do you often play 'chicken'?" Brother Bao had a wicked smile on his face, leaving Cheng Wen confused as to what was going on.
"It doesn't matter if you use it in the game, this gun is actually heavier than ordinary guns." Brother Bao explained, yes, so Brother Bao himself usually uses the lighter weight AR15.
"The guns used by the US military are all animal-level. But let me see you..." Brother Bao looked at the young man in front of him who was 1.85 meters tall and weighed more than 200 kilograms.
"Okay, if you keep exercising and keep up with your nutrition, it won't be a big problem."
After three weeks of study, Cheng Wei has initially mastered the basic shooting methods and firearm maintenance knowledge. Since Brother Bao let Cheng Wen live in the guest room of his home, Cheng Wei went to Brother Bao's gun room to listen.
He explained various knowledge about firearms and bullets and learned a lot. Brother Bao is very easy-going and likes Cheng Wei. So he mastered the knowledge and received shooting training every now and then, which improved Cheng Wei's shooting level a lot.
quick.
When Cheng Wei stayed in the company for the fourth week, he had just returned from training at the shooting range when he received a call from his cousin.
Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng have arrived.
Zhao Xin didn't ask his cousin to pick him up. He and Liu Sheng found a hotel nearby. After paying homage, they called a taxi and went to Brother Bao's house.
When Brother Bao first saw the two men, they were both over 1.8 meters tall, and one of them was dark and muscular. Then he turned around and glanced at Cheng Wei, who was 1.82 meters tall behind him.
Damn it! I’m the shortest, at 1.75 meters, I feel disabled next to these three...
During the chat, Zhao Xin was very grateful to Brother Bao for taking care of his cousin, and proposed to invite Brother Bao and his wife to go out for dinner together to express his gratitude. Brother Bao quickly declined, saying that you are already at my house, how can I let you invite me? So he asked
My wife went to the supermarket to do some shopping and we all had hot pot together.
While the four of them were sitting and chatting, Brother Bao learned that Liu Sheng had also served in the military and was a scout in the Marine Corps. He immediately felt that he had met a confidant, so he invited everyone to his gun room to see the guns.
As soon as Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng entered the room, they took a breath of cool air.
Good guys! There are various types of firearms on the shelves, on the tables, and on the floor. Pistols ranging from PPKs to Smith M500 revolvers, semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, Browning shotguns, and a Barrett M82A1 sniper.
There is also a bullet reloader on the table in the corner of the room, and boxes of bullets and shells are stacked next to it.
After all, he was a soldier. Liu Sheng's eyes were sharp and he saw an "August 1st" rifle on a shelf at a glance.
"Awesome, you also have this gun in your collection. I heard that this gun is very expensive in the market."
"Isn't it?" Brother Bao reached out and took the Bayi and continued: "I spent five thousand yuan when I bought it. Now you have to spend at least ten thousand yuan to buy it on the market. This gun is very rare here.
"
Then, he removed the magazine, pulled the bolt, checked the chamber, and pulled the trigger on the side of the ground where no one was standing. After completing all this, he handed the gun to Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng couldn't put it down while holding the August 1 rifle, and it took him a long time to hand it to Zhao Xin who was waiting at the side.
Zhao Xin is also very familiar with the Bayi Gun. He fired this gun during military training in high school. He also went to the military shooting range with his classmate whose father is a military leader and fired hundreds of bullets.
"Can I use this gun to shoot a few rounds at the shooting range tomorrow?" Zhao Xin asked Brother Bao.
"No problem. I still have a lot of bullets here."
Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng both felt that Brother Bao was a very generous person. Although he had lived on the other side of the ocean for many years, he still did not change his enthusiastic nature. This was good, and everyone was happy to get along with him.
In the following week, Zhao Xin and Liu Shengguo became addicted to guns and tried various types of firearms.
Liu Sheng's favorite gun is the Blazer Tactical Type 2. He has used this gun in the army and it is very easy to shoot.
And Zhao Xin feels that the Barrett MRAD sniper rifle is very easy to use.
The two of them also paid to attend Brother Bao's shooting training class for a few days, and then participated in the junior marksman assessment along with everyone else.
The results of both people are very good.
Liu Sheng achieved a very high level in controlling the distance of 100 yards with 9 consecutive shots in 3 groups; in 10 consecutive shots at 100 yards with a 0.25MOA target, the hit rate reached 100%. In 5 consecutive shots at 200 yards, he hit all the targets.
coins, and they all hit the center of the coin. Everyone who participated in the training camp was amazed.
Among the above-mentioned assessment standards, in the first item, Zhao Xin achieved an MOA of 0.5 in controlling a distance of 100 yards with 9 shots and 3 groups; in the second item, his hit rate reached 80%; in the third item, he hit 4 coins, of which only
One is right in the center of the coin.
The two men suddenly became the stars of the training camp.
In Brother Bao's opinion, Liu Sheng has been a scout for seven years and his level is indeed very high, but he was a professional and trained every day; but who is this kid Zhao Xin? According to him, that is
When I was in high school, I fired hundreds of rounds of 81-gun shots, and when I was in military training in college, I shot only 10 rounds, 56 and a half.
Faced with Brother Bao's question, Zhao Xinxin said that local tycoons do not need to be evaluated.
After a week, Zhao Xin got very familiar with one of Brother Bao's apprentices and got the news he wanted from him.
This young man who claims to be Brother Bao's apprentice is called Li Wei and is from Jiaodong.
Li Wei immigrated to the other side of the ocean with his parents since he was a child, and has lived here for more than ten years. Although he went to middle school and even university here, he can speak Mandarin very fluently, and he can also speak Jiaodong dialect very skillfully.
Li Wei loved the exciting experience of shooting sports and studied with Brother Bao for several years. He even used his vacation time to work in Brother Bao's gun shop to help out.
Li Wei told Zhao Xin that in January every year, the largest gun show is held in the casino. There are many guns traded on the black market, which are from the guns at the gun show. How are they scattered?
Cats have cat lanes, rats have rat lanes.
One time, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng invited Li Wei to have dinner together. During the dinner, Li Wei drank a little too much and revealed that one of his best friends from college was doing gun business in the online black market.
So Zhao Xin asked Li Wei if he could introduce him to a friend and wanted to buy a few branches. Li Wei instinctively wanted to refuse, but couldn't resist the temptation of Zhao Xin's generous commission, and finally nodded in agreement.
The economic development on the other side of the ocean has not been good in the past two years, and many people have joined the ranks of the unemployed. Li Wei originally ran a small company engaged in the wholesale business of small commodities, but due to the impact of the economic environment, he could no longer hold on;
The commission figure proposed by Zhao Xin made his eyes light up. Even if the business is closed, he can still live a good life with this commission.
Two days later, Li Wei called Zhao Xin and said that an appointment had been made and asked Zhao Xin to confirm the time. As for the location, it was just a matter of discussing the meeting and choosing a hotel.
Zhao Xin thought for a while and told Li Wei that at ten o'clock the day after tomorrow, you could bring him to the hotel where I was staying and we would talk in the guest room.
The next morning, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng went to the city and found a store specializing in outdoor products.
Liu Sheng carefully selected for a long time and selected a Leatherneck-Gearr-Patrol fixed knife. This knife is made of German steel 4116 stainless steel. The surface of the knife is coated with a black matte protective film, which looks murderous.
Tengteng. There are grids and hand guards on the front and rear of the handle. The texture of the handle is very deep. The end of the handle is also stainless steel.
While chatting with the shop owner, Zhao Xin learned that this knife was actually produced in Wanwan. Moreover, the boss reminded Zhao Xin that the steel used in Liu Shengxuan’s knife did not have carbon added to it, so even if it was corrosion-resistant,
Very good, you also need to sharpen the blade regularly to keep the knife sharp.
Just in case, Zhao Xin asked Liu Sheng to choose another one. The store owner recommended KA-BAR-Becker-22-Gear-Patrol, which is the Kabba combat knife. This knife is shorter than the previous one and has a teardrop shape.
The blade of the knife is also very short. Liu Sheng picked it up and tossed it in his hand a few times, and thought it was okay.
As for Zhao Xin himself, he actually took a fancy to a retro-style Buck knife at first sight. The rosewood handle and the brass guards on the front and back of the handle made it look like a handicraft. Zhao Xin felt that this knife
From now on, it would be nice to put it on your desk for viewing.
After the two of them finished shopping, they left the outdoor goods store. Zhao Xin saw a Hertz car rental company diagonally across the street. He thought it was a bit inconvenient to have to call a taxi to Brother Bao every day, so he decided to rent a car and drive.
a few days.
After Zhao Xin submitted his passport, VISA card, domestic driver's license and an IDP, he successfully rented a Nissan pickup truck.
One day later, at 5:30 in the morning, Zhao Xin couldn't sleep. After all, this was his first time, and he was really nervous. The scenes of gangsters and ATF fishing in the movies he had watched kept popping up in his mind.
.
He regretted it a little now and felt that chatting with Li Wei was a bit rash. After thinking about it repeatedly, Zhao Xin got up, washed and dressed, went downstairs, went to the smoking room in the hotel, smoked one cigarette after another, and also
Tangled.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Liu Sheng got up and knocked on the door next door and found that Zhao Xin was not there. He thought he had gone downstairs to have breakfast, so he went to the restaurant to look for him. However, he did not see Zhao Xin when he arrived at the restaurant, so he called Zhao Xin.
Said it would be there soon.
After a while, Zhao Xin sat across from Liu Sheng with a confused look on his face and asked the waiter for a cup of coffee.
"What's wrong?" Liu Sheng asked casually.
"Do you think we were a little too hasty?" Zhao Xin hesitated and asked.
Liu Sheng didn't say anything. He glanced at the other party, lowered his head and finished the bread in his hand. After taking a sip of coffee, he said: "Actually, I'm a little worried too. But then again, this step has to be taken no matter what.
"
Zhao Xin said helplessly: "Yeah. I woke up early in the morning and was thinking about this. I'm a little worried." He thought for a while and continued: "How can you love it? It's really impossible without that. Let's take a look first.
Besides, you have to be prepared, if the other party has a ghost, it will point at you."
Liu Sheng nodded indifferently.
At nine o'clock, Zhao Xin gave Liu Sheng the room card and asked him to go to his room to prepare. He found a seat in the corner of the hotel lobby, held his mobile phone and pretended to make a call, and came in through the hotel door.
People can't see this.
Li Wei came at 9:30. He walked into the hotel lobby with a young white man. After the two entered, they looked around for a while, and then sat down calmly.
Zhao Xin pretended to be listening to the phone, while pretending to look at Li Wei casually.
Li Wei and the other party were sitting there chatting about something, but the young white man was looking around while talking.
"You don't seem to be worried." Zhao Xin cursed in his heart.
After more than twenty minutes of this, the young white man seemed relieved, so he said something to Li Wei, and the two of them immediately got up and got on the elevator. Zhao Xin did not move, he continued to pretend to answer the phone in the corner, and
I kept talking for a while.
Five minutes later, Zhao Xin saw that no one got on the elevator, but several people came out of the elevator. He then put away the phone, went to the smoking room from the emergency exit, and smoked a few cigarettes there.
He took out his cigarette and then returned to his guest room.
