Li Zheng asked Zhuang Yan, what is the ultimate principle of sniping?
Solemnly rhetorical question, is sniping a close-range engagement or a long-range engagement?
Li Zheng didn't even think about answering, of course it was a long-distance fight.
Zhuang Yan asked again, what are the principles of close combat?
Li Zheng thought for a moment and replied, "Absolutely fast and relatively accurate."
Zhuang Yan said: "That's right. On the other hand, sniping is absolutely accurate and relatively fast."
Absolutely accurate!
What snipers require is the sniper-to-kill ratio.
The first project routine in the morning must also be routine – cold-bore shooting.
300 meters, machine sight, disc target, calculated deviation.
Li Zheng has taken this subject countless times.
His highest record is 0.2cm.
Since then it has been hovering between 0.2-0.7.
The same is true during training camps.
Can it be 0?
He thought of the solemn coin target shooting that day.
Zhuang Yan, No. 5 and Lao Peng all hit the target, the only difference was in time.
The square hole of the coin target is roughly the same as the center of the bullseye.
The problem is, this is a machine sight, and it is extremely difficult to hit absolutely.
Li Zheng entered the shooting position, followed the command to lie down, turned on the safety, and loaded a bullet into the chamber of the gun.
Although this new high-precision sniper has an anti-collision device and will not scratch when the bullet enters the chamber, Li Zheng is still cautious.
To be absolutely accurate, everything must be perfect.
Guns, bullets, people.
The right time, the right place, the right people.
Indispensable.
At the gap in the front sight, only the outline of the saucer-shaped target was visible.
The bullseye is clear, and only a small white dot can be seen, like the mark left by a needle dipped in white paint and lightly touched on the black paper.
Adjust the shooting baseline to aim at the target, then begin to level the front sight and notch, roughly pointing toward the bullseye.
It's all done so skillfully and quickly.
Because of proficiency.
Then look far away, model the front sight and gap, clearly target, and see the approximate bull's-eye position.
Model the distant view of the lake again, clear the gap and the front sight, and then accurately align it with the bull's-eye after being perfectly leveled.
After repeating it three times, Li Zheng finally completed his correction process and gently placed his finger on the trigger.
At this point, the gun is theoretically aimed at the bullseye.
All that remains is adjusting to breathing and firing.
Breathing is a skill.
Li Zheng had practiced countless times to maintain enough oxygen in his body when shooting so as not to cause his vision to go dark or to see stars. He also had to avoid the lack of oxygen in the brain caused by reduced breathing from affecting his judgment and firing timing.
Theoretically, the smaller the breathing amplitude, the smaller the body shaking, and the higher the shooting accuracy.
It's just that it's not easy to achieve a perfect balance.
0 deviation.
Can it be done?
Li Zheng suddenly felt a strong desire to win.
In the training team, no one can achieve 0 miss in cold-bore shooting.
But he felt that maybe it was him...
The trigger begins to preload.
When it reached the second level, my fingertips felt the resistance before triggering and stopped.
This gun was modified by Lao Sun. The trigger is lighter, and the difference in force between the first-level preload and the second-level firing is not large.
Originally, the trigger strength of this gun was adjustable from 8n to 15n, but Lao Sun changed it to a minimum of 6n.
And now Li Zheng is using a trigger force of 6n.
Some people like this kind of soft firing, which is more sensitive and can sound at any time with pressure. The smaller the force used, the smaller the impact on the gun and the smaller the impact on the ballistics.
But it's not without its shortcomings.
The disadvantage is that the shooter has higher requirements, otherwise it will be easy to lose control when the pressure reaches the starting point and lead to accidental shooting.
A harder trigger requires more pressing force and is relatively sluggish. It has a slightly greater impact on the gun when it is pressed. It has little effect on general rifle shooting, but for snipers who are very demanding of accuracy, a little bit of it will The force may change the firing direction and trajectory at the moment of firing.
Strictly speaking, sniping is not as simple as a technique, but an art.
An art between balance and precision, an art of hunting.
Because he was in a prone position with a tripod, Li Zheng used a relaxed grip on the gun at this time.
The so-called relaxed grip is different from the standard grip. The correct way to hold the sniper rifle for right eye aiming in the textbook is to hold the gun handle with three fingers of the right hand, with the tiger's mouth facing forward, the index finger stretched forward to press the trigger, and the thumb On the left side of the gun handle, hold it firmly with your palm and press down slightly to control the direction of the gun.
The left hand is supporting the butt of the gun and assisting the shoulder.
But Li Zheng used a method instructed by Instructor No. 5 - his right hand no longer held the grip, but held it virtually, similar to "holding" the grip, trying to reduce as much contact between the palm of his right hand and the gun as possible. Make contact, insert only your index finger into the trigger guard, and lightly press the trigger until it fires.
The essence of this virtual grip method is that the left hand that was originally holding the bottom of the gun butt to assist the shoulder should be placed on top of the gun butt and pressed down hard, leaving all the tasks of helping to stabilize the gun body to the left hand, and the right hand only Responsible for virtual grip and firing.
The advantage of this method of holding and shooting the gun is that when the sniper holds the gun grip with force, the pulse, heartbeat, and breathing between the gun body and the human body are more integrated, making the entire gun body less stable. Absolutely precise aiming is a kind of torture for demanding snipers.
There is another disadvantage of the solid grip method. When the index finger of the right hand presses the trigger, the other fingers will inevitably increase the force at the same time due to problems with the nerve lines in the palm. Even a sniper who has practiced repeatedly can still not avoid slight force differences. The difference lies in the range within which this force difference can be controlled.
The virtual grip method reduces the contact area. The right hand responsible for pulling the trigger only lightly supports the gun grip. Therefore, the impact on the shooting direction when pulling the trigger is extremely weak or almost zero.
However, this method of holding a gun is usually only used in a lying position with support. There are thresholds for application in sitting, kneeling, and standing positions, and it is not common.
When Li Zheng felt that his body had entered the best balance state, and the crosshair gap and the target were also in the best straight line, when he had calculated the habitual deviation of the gun when firing cold bore for countless times and had already relied on intuition After making corrections that satisfy me...
Finally, he caught the opportunity and put a little more force on his fingertips.
Bah——
A new warhead with a caliber of 7.62 mm came out of the chamber and headed straight for the target at a speed of 870/s.
One shot determines victory or defeat.
Li Zheng slowly raised his head. The target in the distance became clear, and a cluster of dust was splashed behind the target.
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked around.
Han Jin was winking at him, while Xiao Jian was lying on the ground looking at Li Zheng and Hou Jun, also smiling.
"Li Zheng, how biased do you think you are?"
Xiao Jian said: "Li Zheng's best bias is usually 0.2. I think it would be good to hit 0.2 this time, at least in the top three."
Li Zheng thought for a while, reviewing the entire firing process in his mind.
Perfect!
He got two words.
It was the most perfect cold-bore shot he had ever fired.
Never felt so good!
No matter how much I think about it, I can't think of any problems or regrets.
He smiled and said to Han Jin and Xiao Jian: "Maybe it's zero."
Han Jin and Xiao Jian were obviously a little surprised. They wanted to laugh, but looking at Li Zheng's serious face, it didn't look like he was joking, and they felt like they couldn't laugh out loud.
Could it be...
Is this guy a sperm? !
"Stop shooting!"
A signal to stop firing came over the loudspeaker.
"Gun test!"
Li Zheng quickly inspected the gun, put it on his back after completing it, and turned around to leave the shooting line as ordered. When he turned around, he found a group of senior officers sitting in Wuyang Wuyang not far away, all sitting on small horses. Looking this way.
He saw his brigade commander, Zhuang Yan, and found out that he was the lowest-ranked person in the group...
