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.
Since arriving at the training camp and starting classes, he has had to learn everything from the beginning like an idiot, from general firearms knowledge to correct shooting postures, firearm maintenance, bullet selection, etc.
During each firearm inspection before 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, and in the end he was so angry that the Chinese man named Bao kicked him. Cheng Wen said that if you don't get rid of this problem, big trouble will happen if you use a gun incorrectly in the future.
This middle-aged Chinese man whose surname is Bao has lived overseas for many years. He has joined the Rangers and visited Iraq. After retiring, he and his wife opened a gun shop together. Over the years, they have become very proficient in all types of firearms. Cheng Wen called him 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 add intermediate classes, so that he could have better learning results.
The first lesson Brother Bao taught Cheng Wei was that it was not what gun you should choose when you come up, but what kind of bullets you should choose. What can kill the target is the bullet, and the gun is just the carrier of the bullet, 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, but he doesn't know anything about 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. That was it.
Brother Bao took a look and saw that it was a 5.56mm NATO bullet.
Okay, now that the bullets are selected, what about the gun? Brother Bao pointed to a dozen semi-automatic rifles of different styles placed behind him for Cheng Wen to choose from.
This kid immediately took a fancy to the hottest HK416 in the "game of chicken". "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.
"No matter how good you are at using 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 basic shooting methods and firearm maintenance knowledge. Since Brother Bao let Cheng Wen stay in the guest room of his house, Cheng Wei went to Brother Bao's gun room to listen to his explanation of various firearms and bullets, which made him eat a lot. Brother Bao is very easy-going, and he also likes this boy Cheng Wei. As a result, Cheng Wei's shooting level improved rapidly after mastering the knowledge and shooting training every now and then.
During the fourth week of Cheng Wei's stay, 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 bowing, 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. He then turned around and glanced at Cheng Wei, who was 1.82 meters behind him.
Depend on! 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 have already come to my house, how can I let you invite me? So I asked my wife to go shopping in the supermarket 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 go 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 guy! Various types of firearms were placed on shelves, tables, and on the floor. Pistols range from PPK to Smith M500 revolver, semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, Browning shotguns, and a Barrett M82A1 sniper.
There was also a bullet reloader on the table in the corner of the room, with boxes of warheads and cartridge cases stacked next to it.
After all, he was a soldier. Liu Sheng's eyes were very sharp, and he saw an "August 1st" rifle placed 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 unloaded the magazine, pulled the bolt, checked the chamber, and pulled the trigger toward 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 with 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 shot this gun when he was in high school military training. I also went to the military shooting range with my classmate whose father was a military leader and fired hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
"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 as a Chinese. This is good, everyone is happy to get along.
In the following week, Zhao Xin and Liu Shengguo became addicted to guns and tried various types of firearms.
Liu Sheng's favorite weapon is the Blazer Tactical Type 2. He has used this gun in the army and it is very smooth 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.
Both people's results are very good.
Liu Sheng achieved a very high level in controlling the distance of 100 yards with 9 consecutive shots in 3 groups; he shot the 0.25MOA target with 10 consecutive shots at 100 yards, with a hit rate of 100%. In a continuous shooting of 5 rounds at 200 yards, all the coins were hit, and they were all in the center of the coins. Everyone who attended the training camp was amazed.
Among the above-mentioned assessment standards, in the first item, Zhao Xin achieved a MOA of 0.5 in controlling 100 yards with 9 shots in 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 instantly became the stars of the training camp.
In Brother Bao's view, Liu Sheng had been a scout for seven years and his level was indeed very high, but he was a former professional and was trained every day; but who was this kid Zhao Xin? According to his own words, he only fired hundreds of rounds of Bayi Bang in high school, and only fired ten rounds and a half in military training in college.
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 is in middle school or even university here, he can speak Mandarin very fluently, and he can also speak Jiaodong dialect very skillfully.
Li Wei really likes the exciting experience brought by shooting sports. He has studied with Brother Bao for several years, and even used his vacation time to work in Brother Bao's gun shop to help.
Li Wei told Zhao Xin that every January, the largest gun show is held in the casino. There are many guns traded on the black market that come from guns at gun shows. As for how they are scattered, cats have their own cat paths, and mice have their rat paths.
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 his 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. Affected by the economic environment, he could no longer sustain it; but the commission figures proposed by Zhao Xin made his eyes light up. Even if the business was closed, with the This commission can also make a good living for a while.
Two days later, Li Wei called Zhao Xin and said that he had made an appointment and asked Zhao Xin to confirm the time. As for the location, since we just want to meet and discuss it first, just choose a hotel.
Zhao Xin thought for a while, and then told Li Wei that at ten o'clock the day after tomorrow, you would bring him to the hotel where I am 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 makes it look murderous. There are grids and hand guards on the front and back of the handle, and the handle has a deep texture. The end of the handle is also stainless steel.
While chatting with the store owner, Zhao Xin learned that the knife was actually made in Wanwan. Moreover, the boss reminded Zhao Xin that the steel used in Liu Shengxuan's knife did not contain carbon elements, so even if it has good corrosion resistance, the blade still needs to be sharpened regularly to keep it 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 Kabbah combat knife. This knife is a little shorter than the previous one, and the drop-shaped blade 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 fell in love with a retro-style Buck knife at a glance. The handle of rosewood and the brass guards on the front and back of the handle make it look like a handicraft. Zhao Xin thinks that this knife will be very good to watch on the desk from now on.
After the two finished shopping, they left the outdoor store. Zhao Xin saw a Hertz car rental company diagonally across the street. He thought it was a bit inconvenient to call a taxi every day to go to Brother Bao's place, 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 eating gangsters or ATF fishing in the movies I watched kept popping up in my mind.
He felt a little regretful now, feeling that chatting with Li Wei was a bit frivolous. After thinking over and over, Zhao Xin got up, washed and dressed, went downstairs, went to the smoking room in the hotel, smoked one cigarette after another, and was still struggling.
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. As a result, I didn't see Zhao Xin when I arrived at the restaurant, so I called and Zhao Xin said he would be there soon.
After a while, Zhao Xin sat across from Liu Sheng with a troubled 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: "Yes. I woke up early in the morning and was thinking about this. I'm a little worried..." He thought for a while and continued: "Love is so easy, it's not really true." No. Let’s take a look first and then talk. But you have to be prepared, in case the other party has a ghost and points 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 and pretended to be on the phone with his mobile phone. People coming in through the hotel door couldn't see this place.
Li Wei came at half past nine. 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 and looked 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 to feel relieved, so he said something to Li Wei, and the two of them immediately got up and got on the elevator. Zhao Xin didn't move. He continued to pretend to answer the phone in the corner, and talked for a while.
After five minutes, Zhao Xin saw that no one got on the elevator, but several people came out of the elevator. He then put away the phone and went to the smoking room from the emergency exit. He took a few puffs of cigarettes inside before coming out, and then returned to his guest room.
