"Hey! Chinese boys, do you want to have a friendly match with us battle-hardened veterans?"
On the shooting range of the base, Jeffrey extended an invitation to the members of the PLA representative team.
"No, no, let's practice on our own!"
Hou Jun waved his hand and expressed his refusal.
Zhong Rui also quickly waved his hand and refused.
"Then do you want to try our guns?"
Jeffrey was very generous and pointed at the guns in the hands of their team members.
This time the SEALs also came with two sniper teams. I have to say that the level of the Taojiang family is really not low.
Especially their guns, everyone wants to try out how they perform.
This time the SEAL snipers carried M24 sniper rifles.
Of course, their troops will not be equipped only with this model of sniper rifle.
The special forces of the United States have a characteristic that they are more tolerant in the choice of guns than the PLA.
A SEAL may purchase personal equipment based on his or her personal needs, including but not limited to camouflage uniforms, tactical vests, boots, and even guns and ammunition.
These are battle-hardened veterans who know what they need on a mission and what equipment will make them more comfortable.
For example, when conducting latent decapitation missions, since it is a fixed-point ambush, the team members will choose single-shot bolt-action sniper rifles with long range and high power, such as M24 or even larger-caliber Barrett, TAC-50 and other large snipers.
If they are performing search support tasks, they usually choose semi-automatic sniper rifles, such as MK11 or DMR sniper rifles. Because the search sometimes has to move with the Marine Corps ground troops, there is a high possibility that the enemy will suddenly be encountered during the search and require immediate fire support. A semi-automatic sniper rifle will be more effective than a bolt-action single-shot sniper rifle. Take advantage of firepower.
Since this competition has stipulated the use of 7.62 caliber and required bolt-action sniper rifles, the SEALs chose their commonly used M24 as the participating weapon.
Many people may be unfamiliar with the name M24, but when it comes to Remington 700, many people will hear it with thunder.
The M24 sniper rifle is a military version of the Remington 700 rifle. It perfectly inherits the consistent advantages of Remington 700 series rifles such as reliable locking, tight fit between stock and receiver, high accuracy, smooth lines and elegant appearance.
The 7.62mm NATO standard caliber bullet used has a maximum range of about 1,500 meters.
It is highly praised for its high-precision strike capability and impressive power. It is used by snipers of the U.S. Army including Special Forces, Rangers, Delta Force and even the Navy SEALs.
It has to be said that in the world's ordnance circle, the M24 is very famous, at least much more famous than the PLA's own domestic high-precision sniper.
As an excellent sniper, seeing a good gun is like seeing a beautiful woman, and everyone wants to try it.
It's just that everyone remembers the two words Zhuang Yan told him before - Zang Feng.
Hidden front.
In the final analysis, you just need to hide your edge before the game. There is no need to compete with other teams.
It can also be understood as hiding strength.
Therefore, after the PLA representative team came up, they only calibrated their guns at various distances. They did not show off their marksmanship with any fanfare. More often, they solemnly let everyone watch others shoot.
Both Da Maozi's team and Yingjiang's team came over to invite the PLA representative team for a friendly match, but they were both rejected.
In the end, even the Golden Eagle Special Forces and their Lion Special Forces of the H military came to the door. Zhuang Yan and his team members still smiled and waved their hands to refuse, with just one word - no!
In this way, other teams can only play by themselves.
Yingjiang and Damao have always been enemies. The two countries' representative teams were unable to invite PLA invitations, so they started to "communicate" first.
What came over from Damao this time were snipers from the GRU special forces. They sent three groups.
The two sides began to fight on the shooting range from "cold-bore shooting" to "hostage rescue", and from "hostage rescue" to "restricted shooting". Both sides went back and forth and refused to admit defeat. Li Zheng and others on the side looked like they were beaten. palm.
Generally speaking, the level of both sides is similar, but Da Mao is slightly inferior in firearms.
The guns they used were the same as those used by the military of country H. They were also Russian-made T5000s. However, country H was the host this time. They sent six sniper teams, which gave them an absolute advantage in numbers.
Although they all use 7.62X51MM NATO ammunition, there are many tricks inside.
After all, there are differences in the ammunition of 7.62X51MM. Taking the NATO standard 7.62 ammunition as an example, it includes more than ten types of ammunition, from tracer bullets to armor-piercing bullets to sniper-specific bullets. Each type of ammunition with different functions is divided into several types of bullets. .
For example, armor-piercing projectiles are divided into M61 armor-piercing projectiles and M948 discarding sabots armor-piercing projectiles. The former is an ordinary armor-piercing projectile, while the latter uses a principle similar to that of tank sabot-piercing projectiles, and its armor-piercing ability is even better.
Tracer bullets include M62 ordinary tracer bullets and M276 dark tracer bullets. The former is light visible to the naked eye, and the latter is dark light visible only under night vision devices.
There are two types of sniper ammunition in the 7.62X51 specification. One is called M118 ordinary sniper ammunition (also known as special ordinary ammunition), and the other is called M118LR long-range ammunition. The former is a sniper ammunition with a lead core and a boat-shaped tail structure. , dispersion less than 12 inches (305mm) at 600 yards (550 meters).
The latter M118LR is even more awesome. It uses an 11.3-gram competition-grade sniper warhead, which has good long-distance velocity storage and can maintain the speed of sound even thousands of meters away. It is better than the M118 in aerodynamic design, processing accuracy, error handling, etc. So much better.
The copper jacket of the M118LR is closed from the warhead (usually the bullet is closed from the tail), forming an open-point design, and the special propellant used is ten dollars more per pound than the ordinary 7.62NATO propellant, although It burns slower and is not as violent as ordinary propellants, but it burns more evenly, has a higher consistency when pushing out the warhead, and has less residue. Therefore, even at a distance of 1,000 meters, this special bullet has excellent performance dispersion performance.
A lot of effort has been put into every bullet, which is also a reflection of NATO and American-made equipment becoming more perfect and mature after years of accumulation.
I have to say that in this regard, Da Maozi suffered a little secret loss.
As for the H country's military, among the three teams that competed first on the first day, their six groups were the worst. In front of the famous GRU and SEALs, both the H country's military and The most powerful Golden Eagle commanded by Kasim was the Lion or the sniper team sent by the Male Wolf Special Forces. Without any surprise, they all finished at the bottom.
"Brigadier Commander, why can't we also compete with them?!" Hou Jun couldn't hold it in any longer. He thought that although the SEALs and GRU's sniper skills were very high, they were not necessarily higher than those like him. Where to go.
When a master sees a master, his heart and hands feel itchy. Even if the competition has not yet begun, he cannot help but want to compete.
"What are you talking about?" Zhuang Yan acted completely out of common sense, and his next order shocked everyone.
"Put your backpacks and equipment on me, and I'll go for a run!"
running? !
Everyone looked at each other.
Especially Zhong Rui.
In the few days before going abroad, he had already traveled enough. He had flown thousands of kilometers, and when he arrived in country H, he still ran?
Zhong Zhipeng asked hurriedly: "Captain Zhuang, are you running?"
He nodded solemnly: "Yes, you are running too. Let's run together and grab your own things. The comrades in charge of security will also run along with us."
…
crazy.
This is a thought that flashes through everyone's mind for a moment.
Please give me a monthly pass, please give me a monthly pass! ! ! ! ! !
Ahhhhhhhhhh! If I can be among the top five in the monthly ticket classification group, I will be able to buy a few hundred more milk powder for my daughter. Everyone, hurry up and vote for me!
