When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 140 Real Gun Control! My Sister-in-Law is Here!

On Monday morning, Xu Ge, as usual, first went for a warm-up run in the all-around event.

The four veterans remained on the obstacle course to protect Kaiyumu during his next training session, while Guo Yuanshuai brought Xu Ge, who was covered in sweat, to the shooting range.

Five steel targets were set up 30 meters away, and a wall-cleaning cloth was laid on the ground at the shooting position.

Following Guo Yuanshuai's instructions, Xu Ge disassembled his Type 191 assault rifle and a Type 92 pistol, laid the parts on a gun cloth, and then began loading bullets into each magazine.

Guo Yuanshuai, who was playing with the compass that Xu Can had given to Xu Ge, asked, "I've noticed you've been looking at that observation notebook that Lei Zi gave you these past two days. So, want to become an observer?"

“He said I was quite suitable to be a spotter. Anyway, I’ve never been able to improve my shooting skills, so I thought I’d give it a try,” Xu Ge replied.

In fact, ever since he joined the company, he had accepted the fact that he had no talent for shooting. Of course, the talent he was referring to was in comparison to someone like Li Dongshui.

Even with the system's support, the speed at which one's shooting skills improves cannot match that of the opponent, so the gap is obvious.

Xu Ge knew that if he did nothing but spend his days at the shooting range piling up bullets, his shooting skills would eventually reach LV5 or even higher, but it would be meaningless.

Putting aside whether this is realistic or not, even if the squad leader and company commander were really willing to feed him a huge amount of bullets, it would take an unknown amount of time, since the higher the level, the slower the proficiency increases.

Are we supposed to rely on completing military orders for rewards to improve? What about my other skills?

"Do you have some misunderstanding about spotters?" Guo Yuanshuai said irritably. "Who told you that spotters don't need to be good marksmen? Have you ever seen a spotter who struggles to shoot 200 meters like you?"

Xu Ge: ...

"Squad leader, do you mean that spotters also need to have good shooting skills?"

"Nonsense! A team like theirs, the Hidden Wolves, consists of six people. The spotter's shooting skills are definitely second only to the sniper. If something happens to the sniper during the mission, the spotter will be the one to take over!"

"Then I'll just protect the sniper and make sure nothing happens to him, right?"

Snapped!
"You bastard... are you trying to argue with me?" Guo Yuanshuai raised his hand and slapped him. "I'm just asking you, what do you do when you're facing two or more targets and need two people to fire at the same time?"

Xu Ge dared not argue back and obediently continued loading bullets.

Guo Yuanshuai continued, "The reason why a sniper is a sniper is because the field of view in his scope is only so big, and he needs to be extremely focused when shooting. At this time, he needs a spotter to help him observe other positions, but that doesn't mean that the spotter doesn't need to have good marksmanship."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ge couldn't help but recall the scene when Thor unfurled the banner. The distance was nearly a thousand meters, and even with six shots fired, it was still a height that most people couldn't reach.

"In short, if you want to be a spotter, you'd better keep practicing your shooting properly."

"understood!"

Xu Ge loaded all six magazines and turned to ask, "Squad leader, can we begin?"

Guo Yuanshuai asked, "Start what?"

Xu Ge: "I'll teach you my most secret technique!"

. . .

. . .

Click, click, click!

With a few quick movements of his hands, Xu Ge transformed the parts on the gun cover into a complete Type 191 assault rifle in just a few seconds.

drop!
Guo Yuanshuai pressed the stopwatch, glanced at the time, and nodded: "A little over 6 seconds, so-so. Now assemble the pistol again and let me see."

"Yes!"

Click, click, click!
Xu Ge began to move again.

drop!
"Your pistol is clearly much faster than your rifle," Guo Yuanshuai said, intrigued. "Have you trained specifically for it?"

Xu Ge thought for a moment: "I did shoot more pistols during the basic training in the recruit company."

"Hmm, your hand speed is pretty good, let's get started."

After testing him, Guo Yuanshuai saw that Xu Ge had met his requirements and began teaching him.

"Rapid firing means maximizing speed while maintaining basic accuracy. To achieve this, besides your reaction speed, the most important thing is gun control!"

Guo Yuanshuai looked at Xu Ge and said, "Guo control is my specialty."

"Guns control?"

Xu Ge didn't quite understand what the deputy squad leader meant.

He always thought that as long as his reaction speed was fast and his hand speed was fast enough, he would be fine, and he never thought about the concept of gun control.

"Who have you ever seen with the fastest shooting speed?" Guo Yuanshuai asked.

Xu Ge replied without hesitation: "It must be Thor!"

Have you seen him make a move?

"Seen it!"

"So, what do you think is the difference between you and him?"

Guo Yuanshuai's question stumped Xu Ge. He originally wanted to say that the other party was faster than him, but the squad leader clearly didn't want that answer.

Xu Ge carefully recalled Thor's previous moves and said uncertainly, "It goes without saying that his hand speed is faster than mine, but I feel like the gun is more obedient in his hands?"

Guo Yuanshuai laughed: "That's gun control! A top-notch marksman is extremely familiar with the weapon in his hand!"

Xu Ge picked up his 191 and asked, puzzled, "Everyone's guns are the same, so what's there to be familiar with or not?"

"I'm asking you, what is the length of your gun, and what is its weight?" Guo Yuanshuai suddenly asked.

Xu Ge was taken aback. He thought about the theories he had learned before and subconsciously said, "The gun is about 95 centimeters long and weighs about 3.4 kilograms."

Guo Yuanshuai shook his head: "You're talking about the factory specifications of the Type 191 assault rifle, I'm asking about your own rifle!"

“My gun is the same…” Xu Ge suddenly stopped mid-sentence, looking at Guo Yuanshuai with surprise, “Squad leader, I understand what you mean, I really still don’t know the length and weight of my own gun!”

China's 191 rifle family is fully modular, allowing all firearms to have their barrels replaced, various accessories added, and the stock length automatically adjusted.

Xu Ge's height and arm span are greater than most people's, so the stock of his gun is extended outward by two blocks, but he doesn't know the exact number of the extension.

Furthermore, even with a scope attached, he still didn't know the weight of the gun with a full magazine, let alone the weight after adding other accessories.

Xu Ge now understood what the squad leader meant; he genuinely didn't know the length and weight of his gun!

Guo Yuanshuai could tell from Xu Ge's expression that the kid understood, and said with a smile, "You can't even figure out your own gun, so what are you talking about gun control? No need to ask, you probably don't know the parameters of that Type 92 pistol either, right?"

"The Type 92 rifle is about 20 centimeters long... Sergeant, I really didn't know!" Xu Ge told the truth.

"Your gun, with the stock extended two notches, has a total length of 99 centimeters. With a scope and a full magazine, it weighs 4.2 kilograms."

Guo Yuanshuai reached out and picked up the pistol, weighing it in his hand. "This gun is 19 centimeters long, and with a 15-round magazine, it weighs about one kilogram."

"Different lengths and different weights require different forces and angles to control!"

Click!

Xu Ge only felt a blur before his eyes, and Guo Yuanshuai had already completed the action of loading and drawing his gun.

"Did you notice the difference in how I drew my gun just now?"

"I saw it!" Xu Ge exclaimed excitedly. "Holy crap, squad leader, how did you manage to synchronize the drawing of your gun with the cocking of the bolt?"

Guo Yuanshuai smirked: "You figured it out? This is real gun control!"

With Xu Ge's current visual motion capture ability, he clearly saw Guo Yuanshuai's firing method. Just like Thor, he first pulled the gun back to his chest and then pushed it out in a straight line.

However, it felt like Guo Yuanshuai wasn't using his full strength, yet his speed wasn't much slower than Thor's. The reason was that while pulling back, he used inertia to pull the slide of the pistol, loading the bullet as he pushed it out.

In Xu Ge's view, the gun in Guo Yuanshuai's hand seemed to have a spring attached to it, giving the impression that the gun was driving his arm!
"Vice squad leader, I want to learn this!"

"First, make sure you're completely familiar with your own gun before I tell you the specific techniques."

. . .

. . .

In the following days, in addition to his two daily all-around events, Xu Ge also had to do 200-meter shooting and assemble firearms, but Guo Yuanshuai never let him start practicing rapid-fire on steel plate targets.

After completing all the training each day, we would disassemble and reassemble the rifles and pistols, loading each magazine with bullets to feel their weight.

In his spare time, Xu Ge also studied the observation notebook that Thor had given him. Sometimes he would take a compass and run around the training ground, combining the contents of the notebook to learn how to calculate angles and distances.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and all the data on the token advanced significantly once again, with the shooting skill reaching LV4.

This translates to Xu Ge's shooting skills; he can now occasionally score a perfect score at a distance of 200 meters.

To his surprise, as Guo Yuanshuai explained gun control, his rapid-fire skill value also increased significantly.

It started snowing again in the last two days, and the training ground was covered in white. The training on the obstacle course and climbing tower was suspended by the base's section chief.

With the Spring Festival approaching, fewer and fewer companies are coming here for training every day.

Upon seeing this situation, Liu Guoping simply organized the entire company to practice target shooting for two whole days.

Bang bang bang!
Da da da!
Dang Dang Dang!
The sounds of various rifles and pistols, as well as the sound of steel targets being hit, assaulted Xu Ge's eardrums. After he had once again disassembled and reassembled the firearms inside the climbing building, he couldn't help but speak up.

"Squad leader, why won't you let me shoot at the steel plate target?"

Guo Yuanshuai, wrapped in a coat and sitting against the wall, slowly took a puff of his cigarette: "What's the rush? You can hit a 30-meter steel plate target with your eyes closed, right? What you need to do now is practice your gun control!"

Xu Ge: "But I feel that I have practiced gun control enough, and it's time to go shoot at live targets."

Xu Ge didn't really like target shooting before, especially after Guo Yuanshuai gave him extra training and fired several boxes of bullets. But now, hearing the gunshots from the shooting range, he's itching to try it again.

Guo Yuanshuai stood up and walked over: "Wear your firearms according to the competition standards and do a dry shot for me to see?"

"Yes!"

Xu Ge immediately stood up, slung his rifle over his back, and holstered his pistol in his thigh holster, ready to draw his weapon.

drop!
Guo Yuanshuai pressed the stopwatch: "Fire!"

Click!

Xu Ge grabbed the forend of the rifle behind him with his left hand, quickly turned to face the front, and used the movements he had developed to change the magazine and pull the bolt. Then he aimed the gun and pulled the trigger!
Snapped!
After firing, immediately lower the rifle in front of you, draw the pistol with your right hand while simultaneously loading the gun with your left hand in the manner of Guo Yuanshuai, and draw the weapon.

Snapped!
drop!
Guo Yuanshuai stared at the numbers on the stopwatch for a long time before slowly saying, "Let's go to the shooting range!"

Upon arriving at the firing range, Guo Yuanshuai immediately asked Kaiyoumu to give up his position and then obtained a voice-activated timer from Company Commander Liu Guoping.

Xu Ge had already loaded the live ammunition clips.

"What happened inside the building just now was either a blank shot or the manual timing was inaccurate. Come on, let's do a real test!"

Guo Yuanshuai held the timer to Chen Rong's ear. "Five rifle shots and five pistol shots, all of them must hit. Are you ready?"

Xu Ge swung his arm: "Ready!"

"Fire on your own upon hearing the sound!"

drop!
Xu Ge moved quickly.

Da da da da da! Pa pa pa pa pa!
Ta-da! Ta-da!
The sudden bursts of gunfire and the rhythmic clanging of steel plates echoed across the firing range.

The attention of everyone else who was shooting nearby was drawn to the obviously unusual commotion.

Xu Ge turned around impatiently and asked, "Deputy squad leader, how many seconds?"

"5.6 seconds!" Guo Yuanshuai exclaimed excitedly. "Buddy, I feel like you've got this in the bag!"

The veterans standing nearby were all taken aback!
"Holy crap, that was fast?!"

What does 5.6 seconds mean? The current record in the group is only 4.1 seconds, but you have to know that is under the condition of not reloading and holding the gun with both hands. Xu Ge not only had to change the magazine in the middle, but also had to change from carrying the gun on his back to holding it!

If Xu Ge had also been holding the gun with both hands without changing magazines, it's hard to say whether he could have broken the record!

"Putting everything else aside, Xu Ge is probably the fastest in our company right now!"

Kaiyu clicked his tongue in amazement, knowing that he himself couldn't do it that fast.

As for the new recruits in the same batch, let alone changing magazines and switching guns, even if they just fired directly, they might not be able to finish 10 bullets in five seconds.

"Kaiyoumu, how can you talk like that? Who said Xu Ge is the fastest? The fastest is clearly our squad leader!" Niu Sanxian immediately flattered him.

Guo Yuanshuai accepted it readily and waved his hand: "Alright, that's enough training for today. I've already spoken to the company commander. You all go and clean your guns. We'll head back early today."

Xu Ge asked curiously, "Squad leader, what are we going back for?"

"Your sister-in-law is here, she asked me to take you out for dinner!" Guo Yuanshuai said with a smile.
