On the firing range of the E Division's instructional brigade, Hou Jun, acting platoon leader of the first platoon of the fourth company of the Menghu Regiment and a third sergeant, and his partner, Zhang Ao, darted through the weed-covered field.
After arriving at the firing line, he quickly lies down and takes aim at the long, thin target 450 meters away.
His second-in-command, Zhang Ao, runs to a place ten meters away from him and waits - according to the rules, as soon as Hou Jun hits the target 450 meters away, he has to run to the firing line five meters away to shoot at the five head targets 25 meters away, with only seven rounds of ammunition.
This subject is a simulation of sniping the target when encountering the enemy, the observer is responsible for welcoming the enemy, while the sniper uses the shortest time to shoot the target to complete the mission, after which he quickly withdraws.
That is why the name of this subject is called - meeting the enemy.
These sniper competition subjects have a characteristic, and strive to close to the actual combat, the requirements of each sniper before going through a strenuous exercise, short of running hundreds of meters into the shooting position within the shortest possible time after aiming at the target to shoot, individual subjects and even dozens of kilometers of azimuthal march before entering the position to carry out sniping.
To be able to hit in such harsh conditions, are snipers in the top masters.
At present, the entire shooting range is concentrated in the G military region of the top snipers in the various units, from the field troops to the mountain troops, and even includes the military region of the special forces of the masters.
Everyone came with the determination to win, capturing the last place out of the line and obtaining the qualification to compete abroad, which was their only goal towards the field.
Without a spotter, the difficulty of single sniping would be elevated.
One of the first hurdles encountered is finding the target quickly.
The role of the spotter is to use the scope to help the main sniper find the target quickly.
It's not hard to find the target, as long as you're not blind, but it's hard to find it as fast as possible.
The larger the scope, the narrower the field of view, the longer the time to find the target, relying on the visual certainly wide field of view and fast, but unfortunately at long distances to find the slender head target, Popper target, mini disk target, alien target, these unconventional targets are also not easy.
There is a trade-off, depending on the experience and ability of the sniper.
This sniper rifle used by Hou Jun was equipped with an 8-32x scope.
If the magnification is too high, it is difficult to control the center of gravity and slow to find the target; if the magnification is low, it is difficult to aim.
How to choose between them depends on one's own choice.
Hou Jun opened the lowest magnification, 8 times.
This would make it relatively easier for him to find the target.
In fact, he wanted to know how far Zhong Rui's group had progressed, but there was no room for distraction at this time.
The other side's guns didn't go off, meaning they hadn't fired yet.
This is his own disciple, know his roots, Hou Jun did not dare to underestimate Zhong Rui.
Some professions have to talk about talent, nine points of hard work can sometimes make up for one point of talent, not to mention that Zhong Rui has always been talented and hardworking.
Zhong Rui is a scary opponent.
The center of the cross-hair marking board quickly covers the target, at a distance of 450 meters, even with the 8x lens on, as long as you breathe, the target will shake up and down with your body.
Just now the violent running and affect the smoothness of breathing, this time the spell is not only experience, or real physical fitness.
More than eight years of military career, Hou Jun is not by mixing the day over.
Don't look at the daily Hou Jun seems to be very sparse, but when it comes to training, no one in the Menghu Troupe is more serious than him.
Ping--
Hou Jun didn't wait for his breathing to completely stabilize before firing.
He utilized a faster but more difficult and risky method, capturing the opportunity the moment the collimator regularly wobbled and flashed past the target's bullseye, and gently squeezing the trigger.
This was something he had thought of beforehand.
The trigger strength of this gun can be adjusted, the range is 8-15N.
Hou Jun tuned it to the lightest.
The advantage of this is that the strike is rapid, lightweight, fast response; the disadvantage also has, is easy to mistakenly touch, trigger sensitive, the finger's control of the trigger must be the slightest bit, a little error will be out of the premature strike situation.
Ping--
With the crisp sound of a gunshot, a 7.62MM caliber slug was fired at a speed of 800 meters per second.
In less than 0.5 seconds or so, the distant iron elongated head target gave out a crisp when sound and randomly disappeared in the scope.
The adjuster on the side raised the red flag, signaling that the shot was valid and did not violate the rules.
Not far away, Zhang Ao quickly rushed towards the pistol shooting platform - it was called a shooting platform because it was just a long wooden table with a pistol on it and bullets on the side.
What Zhang Ao had to do was to pick up the pistol, load it, and hit five targets 25 meters away as fast as he could.
And he only had 7 pistol rounds.
Meaning he only had two chances to miss, and more than three times and a target would miss.
However, the competition here are all masters, a miss even if the make-up shot on target is difficult to make up for, the chances of getting out of the line will be greatly reduced.
Because the overall hit rate of these snipers are above 98%.
Hou Jun already time to stand up and collect the gun, nervously looking at Zhang Ao.
The sound of gunfire was sharp, but rhythmic.
Zhang Ao's gaze was like a sharp sword, nailed to the targets in the distance.
One by one, the targets disappeared under his gun.
The last target disappeared, and the adjuster raised his flag.
Effective!
Zhang Ao, the number two shooter, did not let himself down!
The observers on Zhong Rui's side were still shooting at the targets while they had already finished.
Now, Hou Jun and Zhang Ao's scores are the best of all the participating teams.
Happiness came a little too suddenly, and Hou Jun couldn't contain his inner excitement.
There are still the last two events, as long as the standard is maintained, the place to go abroad will surely be in the bag!
Seeing Hou Jun's group leading, Wu Yi couldn't help but get excited, turning his head to the recruits and bragging: "See? None of the special brigades are a match for our platoon leader! You know what strength means, right? This is called strength!"
Fatty Wei came out in time to break up the fight and asked Wu Yi, "Squad Leader, how far is this distance?"
Wu Yi froze for a moment and said, "450 meters."
Fatty Wei said with a bad smile: "Class president, the world's farthest distance record for snipers is 3,540 meters to hit the enemy with a single shot, which is eight times the distance!"
The implication is that 450 meters is nothing.
Wu Yi stared at Fatty Wei and scolded, "What does a new recruit know? Can't you see how small the target is? When you touch the sniper rifle, you can hit the 400 meters away from the humanoid target are considered your strength!"
He wasn't exaggerating.
Sniper rifles seem simple, not to say that is to use the collimator to cover the target to pull the trigger can be?
In reality, it's not that simple.
Beyond 100 meters, the effect of the environment on the bullet starts to appear, and at 400 meters, you have to consider the effect of wind and light and humidity.
Not as simple as playing a computer game, set up a sudden burst of avalanche type output, the collimator on the target will hit the kind.
On the shooting range, Hou Jun and Zhang Ao's group has taken the lead into the next subject.
This is a group sniping confrontation subject commonly known as "double sniping".
The rules are like this - after 300 meters of running, the sniper team must climb over 20 meters of low-pile barbed wire, and then enter the shooting position, the distance of 350 meters from the distance of the four 11.5 CM or so of the mini-disc target for sniping, bullets four rounds of the group of two people per person, two shots twice, each other exchanging the hands of the first and second hand for The sniper will be able to snipe with precision.
In other words, the entire sniping process can not have any error, off-target will be deducted points.
All of the sniper group results prioritize the number of hits, in the case of each group in the number of hits is equal, who has the shortest time who wins.
Hou Jun's heart was racing, wanting to pop out of his chest.
At this moment, the dopamine in his brain was secreting frantically, and his entire body was in a state of nervousness and exuberance.
Maintain the advantage!
Take the first place!
No, no more, at least enter the top three!
Race!
Race abroad!
Hou Jun has been waiting for one day for too long!
