"The long-awaited new world record." the host shouted.
The scene was filled with cheers. This kind of record-setting competition is rare. As for the record, there may not be a breakthrough for many years.
After Jimmy saw the new world record, he no longer cared about the final championship. He probably understood the operations of these people.
The body leans back and the right leg bends forward to make it easier to pull the revolver out of the holster and shoot. When shooting, push the crotch forward, raise the whole upper body together, put the legs forward, and pull out the revolver with the right hand backward. At the same time, raise the muzzle of the gun a little with your wrist, shoot when the muzzle leaves the holster, and hit the target.
Moreover, the shooter's revolver had cocked the hammer in advance, that is, the trigger stroke was only in the last stage.
With more practice in this set of movements, they should be able to become as proficient as they are. The real test is the reaction time after seeing the light on the target.
This shooting method is not suitable for Jimmy, because he mainly performs tasks and usually draws his gun normally. This method, which requires a specific posture to draw the gun and fire quickly, is obviously only suitable for competitions.
There is another key point. Jimmy's revolver hammer is usually not in the cocked state, which is too dangerous. The reason why double-action revolvers do not have a separate safety is because double-action requires more force to pull the trigger. In this way Just make sure the gun doesn't go off.
What he needs to practice is actually his reaction speed and the speed at which he draws his gun and shoots in a normal posture. There is another key point here, which is to hit the target. No matter how fast he is, it is useless if he cannot hit the target.
This kind of action of shooting directly from the crotch is usually not very accurate unless you are extremely proficient.
Jimmy watched them finish the game quietly, then took two steps forward to discuss with the host whether he could use their equipment to test his reaction speed.
This request was a bit excessive, and of course, it was rejected without any suspense.
This was not a big problem. Jimmy called Thorsten directly and asked him to ask if there was such testing equipment at the DEA shooting range.
Not bad. After a while, Thorsten called back and confirmed that it was available at the shooting range, but no one was using it and it was in a state of dust.
In fact, it’s normal. For DEA people, it’s enough for agents to practice precision. Special agents will have additional tactical training and other content. For this kind of device that purely calculates rapid fire time, they basically have nothing. need. The timing agents need is usually the unified time to perform CQB or other actions, or the time to break down the steps.
I don’t know what the shooting range was doing with this set of equipment in the first place. Anyway, it’s now cheaper for Jimmy.
Jimmy didn't rent a car and took a taxi directly back to the hotel next to the DEA to rest. I just communicated with Thorsten that he needs to arrange for someone to receive him at the shooting range. Once the arrangements are made, Jimmy can go there by himself.
Jimmy could also understand that Thorsten couldn't take him for three days, so it would be nice if he could pick him up and arrange accommodation. This time he had to go to the shooting range by himself, and he didn't know if the people assigned by Thorsten could handle it.
Since there was a test to be done later, Jimmy rested honestly in the hotel that day without causing any trouble. After waking up in the morning, Jimmy went out to make some breakfast, and then set off to the DEA shooting range.
Thorsten turned out to be reliable, and Jimmy thought he would contact a training staff member, but it turned out to be a ranger at the range. The administrator took Jimmy to an indoor shooting range with 10-meter and 15-meter targets.
Jimmy himself only carried 12 rounds of ammunition, 6 rounds in the magazine, and 6 rounds in his belt, without a loader. In order to ensure that it can still be used after I go out, I can only ask the administrator to provide bullets.
Jimmy first practiced aiming and shooting from the waist to get familiar with the feel, and then went to test it. The test equipment is consistent with the targets used in rapid-fire competitions. There is a terminal placed on the shooting platform, and you can directly see the time from when the light turns on to when the bullet hits the target.
The first thing Jimmy tested was his aiming and shooting reaction speed. He raised the revolver, aimed at the target, and waited for the light in the middle of the target to light up before shooting.
Then the test is the speed at which one can draw the gun from the holster and shoot, and finally the speed at which one can shoot from the waist.
"Bah, bang, bang," Jimmy finished his three rounds of testing, and the administrator clapped beside him.
"My results?" "Very good, come and take a look." The administrator handed over a folder with a piece of white paper sandwiched on it, and the results of Jimmy's three tests were recorded on it.
Jimmy shot each test three times, and the results of the nine shots are recorded here, with the average below.
Aim and shoot for 0.2 seconds, draw the gun and aim for 0.6 seconds, and shoot from the waist for 0.5 seconds.
Compared with those players yesterday, Jimmy is basically ready to participate in the rapid-fire trials.
This should be the result of the extra talent of the revolver. Those rapid-fire players only have the speed that they have practiced for many years. As for Jimmy, just a few adaptive exercises beforehand can reach the speed of basically participating in the competition.
This body must have undergone a very long period of training before. The memory that penetrates into the bone marrow, pores and muscles allows Jimmy, who was a layman at the beginning, to have such accuracy and speed.
"Have you had any special practice before?"
"No, we usually practice normal shooting at the shooting range. I am a policeman, and this shooting method is not used in our daily work."
"Then you are really talented. If you practice more, you should be able to participate in competitions in the future. If you win the championship, those girls will be crazy for you."
"Hahaha, I don't want to think about the competition. I only wanted to test it after watching the rapid fire competition yesterday. This is my main gun. It's always good to learn more. Please help me time it again."
Jimmy directly loaded bullets and a loader, walked to the track next to it, and opposite was a normal 10-meter target. Jimmy heard a beep and started shooting, then changed the ammunition and continued. After firing all 12 rounds, he ejected the cartridge cases. , come to the administrator.
"Very good, 5.2 seconds. The time for one round of shooting should be less than 2 seconds. It's very good. It's very close to the record."
"Oh, what's your record?"
"Not many people in our camp use revolvers. I remember that the latest world record was last year. Jerry Mikulek hit 2.99 seconds with 12 rounds in 2 rounds, 6+2, and 1.06 seconds with 8 rounds."
Jimmy was speechless. The gap was so huge. Although it seems that the difference between 5.2 seconds and 2.99 seconds is not big, basically most people are stuck in this gap of less than 1 second.
"Do you know him? Can you contact him? I want to ask him for advice."
"How do I know? I'm just a range administrator."
"Oh, thank you anyway, I didn't know about these records before."
Jimmy collected the shell casings and bullets with the administrator, and then left the DEA training ground.
