It was a perfectly dirty operation.
In some ways, Qasim won.
When things have reached this point, except for Country H and Damao, the other participating teams have to face the most fatal problem - ballistics.
If all shooting ranges were opened, everyone could make a ballistic table in one day. Although it was a bit difficult and the quality was not particularly high, it could still be used.
But just as solemnly predicted, the "sincere" Qasim did not open the shooting range above 400 meters for everyone to use until the sun went down.
Zhong Zhipeng finally understood that Kasim was just cutting sausages.
Advance three and retreat one.
After depriving others of their reasonable rights, you use them as bargaining chips to negotiate terms with others. In the end, you take three steps forward and only take one step back. In fact, you still get an advantage.
Although instructors like Zhong Zhipeng cannot figure out why a dignified commander of the country's elite special forces and a country's National Defense Commission would allow such dirty methods to be used openly and openly, one thing is undeniable, that is, solemnly and everything was expected to be right. .
Zhong Zhipeng's military service is longer than that of Zhuang Yan. When he met Zhuang Yan for the first time, he had some thoughts in his mind, wondering why he was just a colonel while he was already a full-time brigade commander.
At this point, he understood.
"brigadier!"
Just one hour after entering the test site, Li Zheng and Hou Jun came over.
"What's up?"
Seeing that Li Zheng and Hou Jun looked uncomfortable, Zhuang Yan realized that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Li Zheng spread his hand and handed over two bullets.
"There's something wrong with this ammunition!" Li Zheng said, "It's too different from our competition ammunition. We just shot six groups, and only two were hits."
Hou Jun said: "Brigadier Commander, take a closer look at the bullets yourself."
Zhuang Yan took the bullet and looked at it carefully.
Yes, this is a special sniper bullet with a copper shell. It looks fine at first glance. It is also a standard NATO standard 7.62X51MM caliber ammunition. There is no difference in specifications from the improved high-precision ammunition used by the PLA this time.
But after all, Zhuang Yan is an expert who has been playing with guns for many years. If you look closer, a problem arises.
First of all, the craftsmanship is not as high as that of PLA customized ammunition. From the edge closing of the shell to the shape of the bullet tip, it is obvious that it does not meet the highest quality standards.
In fact, these are all trivial matters.
If top-notch snipers like Li Zheng and Hou Jun said that only two of the six groups hit, with a hit rate of only 30%, then the problem would be huge.
Special ammunition for high-precision snipers not only depends on the appearance of the craftsmanship, but that is only the basis of good ammunition. Competition-level sniper ammunition is also extremely particular about the interior and industrial manufacturing capabilities, such as what material is wrapped in the warhead and the packaging. Whether the bullet core under the copper skin is well made, a defective or shape-problematic bullet core will also cause ballistic stability.
Ultimately, competition-grade sniper bullets require extreme consistency from the inside out to achieve optimal ballistic consistency and minimal dispersion.
Zhuang Yan weighed the bullet in his hand.
"Um?"
He sensed something was wrong.
For bullets of the same standard and standard, this bullet is actually a little lighter.
Most people can't feel the difference of two or three grams, but experts will feel something wrong when they hold it in their hands.
"Lighter?"
Zhong Zhipeng grabbed the bullet and weighed it in his hands, feeling the weight.
"It's definitely lighter."
He has been teaching and researching shooting for half his life, and he is also an expert. When he started shooting, he knew something was wrong.
"Zhong Rui!"
He turned and shouted to Zhong Rui's group.
"What's up?"
Zhong Rui and Liu Hai put away their guns and ran over.
"What's your hit rate?" Zhong Zhipeng asked.
Zhong Rui said: "It's okay. I'm not used to the ammunition. The hit rate is currently 70%. I guess it will return to normal after figuring out the trajectory."
Zhuang Yan frowned.
This is strange.
It is said that Li Zheng's group's sniping level is no worse than Zhong Rui's. How could one group be so bad and the other group be at normal level?
"Zhong Rui, give me three bullets from your group."
Zhong Rui took out three bullets from the magazine and handed them to Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan walked straight towards Li Zheng and Hou Jun's target position.
Li Zheng went over and squatted next to Zhuang Yan and said: "When I first got these ammunition, it was fine to shoot at a distance of 100 meters, but when it went up to 400 meters, there was a problem. The trajectory was very erratic and there was something wrong with the bullet. "
"I'll give it a try." After Zhuang Yan finished speaking, he quickly opened the safety on Li Zheng's sniper rifle, loaded the bullet, then checked the hand wheel, aimed at the Popel target 400 meters away, and fired three shots in a row.
After the shooting, I replaced the ammunition of Zhong Rui's team and fired three more times.
Soon, the results came out.
The first group that used Li Zheng's ammunition actually missed one round!
The second group all hit, no problem.
Zhuang Yan was stunned.
He asked for six more bullets, three for each group.
Another six shots.
The results were worse this time.
The ammunition of the first group of Li Zheng combination actually ran out of ammunition twice!
The ammunition of Zhong Rui's team ran out of ammunition.
For someone like Zhuang Yan, who is a gun king, this 400-meter result would make others laugh.
To be cautious, Zhuang Yan took six more rounds and repeated the above operation.
Finally, he stood up and said to Zhong Zhipeng and others: "There is indeed a problem with the ammunition. The standards of the bullets are not strictly controlled, and the quality control is too poor."
Zhong Zhipeng said: "Damn it, aren't they all NATO standard ammunition? Are these bullets made in China?"
Zhuang Yan said: "I guess they don't have this level of manufacturing sniper-specific ammunition, but NATO standard ammunition is produced in many places around the world, from Europe to the United States, and some Asian countries. We are also domestically produced, right? Question Yes, the place of production has a direct relationship with the quality of the bullets. They are all shoes, and imitations produced by large factories and small workshops have different quality coefficients."
Zhong Zhipeng suddenly realized: "They went to a small factory in Eastern Europe to customize their feelings?"
Zhuang Yan said: "There are also many Eastern European countries, and the craftsmanship in some places is good, but maybe they are not from Eastern Europe."
Zhong Zhipeng said: "How can we fight like this? What if they use ammunition customized by a big factory and let us use ammunition from a small factory? Is the game still meaningful?"
Zhuang Yan thought for a moment and said, "I will go to Qasim to ask about this."
Zhong Zhipeng said: "I have a way."
He said solemnly: "Old Zhong, please tell me."
Zhong Zhipeng said: "When the time comes..."
He looked around, carefully whispered into Li Zheng's ear, and whispered a few words.
After listening to it, Zhuang Yan nodded silently: "That's okay, this is also a good idea."
Just after the discussion here, Jeffrey's "FK" sound came from the other side.
This is not surprising.
Because of the problems encountered by PLA, Yingjiang's seals will also encounter them.
Zhong Zhipeng said: "We saw a good show, and Jeffrey started to make trouble."
Zhuang Yan said: "Then let's watch the show first. I want to see if they have any more shameless methods. If this matter is spread in the future, they will be a joke."
These things are not an exaggeration. In fact, I even wrote it in a positive way. As far as I know, after the ammunition rules were changed that year, in fact, during the 400-meter adaptive training, the PLA team found that the hit rate of the ammunition was only 10%. …
Do you want to know how we won later?
You can guess, or wait until I write it out and tell you.
