Chapter 145 Gun and Bullet Modification? Xu Ge: I really know how to play rock-paper-scissors!

Xu Ge's body swayed with the bumps of the car.

He glanced at the instructions on the token, then at Guo Yuanshuai, who was sitting opposite him, trying to steal a cigarette from Kaiyoumu.

Craftsmanship skills? Or top-tier?

Looking at the prompt asking whether or not to activate the skill slot, Xu Ge hesitated for a long time.

In his mind, handicrafts were just things like DIY that girls liked to do.

Baking, flower arranging, origami, embroidery, and so on.

Does this have anything to do with the squad leader, that roughneck?

Or is the manual definition provided by the system something else?
Thinking of this, Xu Ge leaned forward and approached Guo Yuanshuai: "Squad leader, I heard you're good at handicrafts?"

Guo Yuanshuai was taken aback, a puff of smoke hitting Xu Ge's face: "Who told you that?"

"Let me tell you, the handmade tank that the squad leader made out of bullet casings is absolutely amazing!"

Kaiyoumu chimed in, "When I was discharged from the army last year, I took one with me, but my relatives almost snatched it away. It's with my sister now, and she says a lot of people are praising how pretty it is, and some are even willing to pay a high price for it!"

"Damn it, just thinking about this makes me angry!"

Guo Yuanshuai slapped Kaiyoumu on the thigh, saying, "I finally managed to stick three together to send to my son, and they were all stolen!"

Kaiyu looked completely innocent: "Vice-class leader, it's not like I'm the only one who got lucky..."

"But you took the last one from me!" Guo Yuanshuai said irritably.

At this moment, Su Liujun also stuck his head over, looking mysterious, and said, "Kaiyoumu, look at you, so ignorant. What's so surprising about a tank made from a bullet casing? Let me tell you, the squad leader can even make bullets! Hehe!"

Xu Ge was taken aback, vaguely sensing that there was something wrong with the squad leader's handicraft skill, so he deliberately provoked him, "Really? Squad leader, is Su Liujun just bragging? I don't believe it!"

"Don't believe me?" Guo Yuanshuai glared at him. "I can not only make bullets, do you believe I can even make guns?"

Xu Ge remained silent and quickly selected to activate a skill slot on the token. A flash of light appeared, and another skill slot appeared on the back of the token.

Crafts: Beginner (1/5).

The next moment, a memory of how to disassemble bullet heads and how to grind the rifling of gun barrels immediately appeared in my mind.

Xu Ge was completely stunned.

Damn it? !
The squad leader's handicrafts were actually pure handmade modifications of firearms and ammunition.

Is this illegal?

Just then, Kaiyu's curious voice rang out: "Squad leader, you really know how to make guns? Tell me about it!"

Guo Yuanshuai had a nostalgic expression on his face, and extended his right index and middle fingers, spreading them open.

Kaiyoumu quickly placed a cigarette on it and lit it.

"When I was in the army, the unit was poor. Unlike you guys now, where even in basic training you're using Type 191 assault rifles for target practice and tactical drills. Do you know what kind of gun I used when I was a recruit?"

Guo Yuanshuai slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and asked.

The people surrounding him immediately answered, some saying the Type 95 automatic rifle, others saying the Type 81 rifle, only Li Dongshui said, "Could it be the Type 56?" and Guo Yuanshuai nodded.

"Back then, we still had the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, which couldn't fire in rapid succession. It was the same type used in the 84 military parade. It wasn't until two years later that we were replaced by the Type 56 and Type 81 rifles. The Type 95 was many years later."

Guo Yuanshuai began to recount, “Old guns are always prone to breaking down here and making noise there. At first, we would replace parts with those salvaged from other guns, but then the Type 81 rifle was issued, and the parts for the Type 56 and Type 81 rifles were not interchangeable. So we figured out how to modify it ourselves, hehehe!”

Everyone was stunned.

"Squad leader, is this even allowed?"

"How do we modify it?"

"Doesn't the military care?"

Guo Yuanshuai laughed: "Why not just do it secretly? Besides, these are all old guns that are about to be retired. They might not even fire properly if we take them out!"

"Let me tell you, the Type 56 and Type 81 rifles both use 7.62 caliber ammunition and the bullets are interchangeable. What does that mean? It means the rifling of the barrels is the same!"

"Take the barrel off the Type 56 rifle, thicken and lengthen the muzzle, and you can temporarily use it on the Type 81!"

"Later, when the Type 95 was deployed, I also studied it. That dovetail groove blocked the view, so I found a scrapped gun, sawed off the top, and installed the guide rail myself. You know what, it actually worked quite well. Then came the Type 191, but I haven't had time to study it yet..."

Everyone's jaws dropped. The squad leader had such a formidable history?

"Then, squad leader, what's this about Su Liujun making bullets?" Xu Ge couldn't help but ask curiously.

"When I went to the anti-hijacking squadron for training, there was a lot of silent bullets going around. To put it bluntly, these are subsonic bullets. The Russians did a pretty good job with them."

Guo Yuanshuai took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "But the market has always been dominated by pistol bullets. Back then, a few of us brothers thought about whether we could make rifle bullets ourselves, so we disassembled the bullets, reduced the gunpowder, and tested them little by little according to the proportions. Hey, you know what, it worked pretty well!"

Everyone: "And then? And then?"

Guo Yuanshuai: "Later, I was caught red-handed by the then-captain, who was also my old squad leader and your brigade commander, and I was punished!"

. . .

. . .

It was almost 6 a.m. when the vehicle returned to the camp. The third platoon was the first to go out but the last to come back.

The men in the first and second platoons had already returned their weapons, washed up, and rested. After Guo Yuanshuai tallied the ammunition consumption and weapon and equipment wear and tear for everyone, he went to the company headquarters to report on the operation. Luo Shan, who was on duty, organized everyone to return the weapons and equipment.

By the time I finished everything, washed up, and went to bed, it was already around seven o'clock.

Xu Ge slept until 11 a.m., and after getting up, he immediately joined the others in cleaning guns. Then he ate a few bites of food at noon.

In the afternoon, the whole company did a big cleaning, while the cooks started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. Xu Ge was honored to be assigned to help in the kitchen.

After 4 p.m., several family members who came to attend the army's New Year's Eve dinner entered one after another. Most of them were spouses of officers or veterans, and there were also the parents of two new recruits.

The entire courtyard was decorated with lanterns and red lanterns. Liu Guoping organized two rows of soldiers to line up on both sides of the camp gate with fireworks, setting off a burst of fireworks for every soldier who came by, providing maximum emotional impact.

At 5:30, Xu Ge finished helping in the kitchen and was pulled out of the kitchen by Company Commander Liu Guoping before he could even take off his apron.

"Quick, quick, Dr. Lin is here! Go and greet him!"

When Xu Ge arrived at the gate, he saw Lin Wan and Guo Yuanshuai, a couple wearing trench coats, coming in together.

Bang bang bang!
Amidst the bursts of fireworks, Liu Guoping led the shouts: "Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!"

Lin Wan's hair was covered in red confetti, and her blushing smile made her look just like a bride.

Niu San first pushed Xu Ge forward. Xu Ge, somewhat bewildered, wiped his hands on his apron and looked at Lin Wan with a smile, saying, "Welcome, Dr. Lin!"

Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xu Ge's outfit: "What, are you the chef for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner? I'll have to try your cooking later!"

"Why did you come with the squad leader and his wife?"

"I came here in Brother Lian's car. I happened to run into the deputy squad leader and his wife at your regimental headquarters, so we got out of the car and walked over together."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Guo Yuanshuai glared at Xu Ge. "If you can chat, then chat. If you can't, then invite him in and sit down. What are you doing standing here? What time is it?"

"Yes, yes, come on, Lin, I'll bring you in!"

Shi Xing took Lin Wan's arm and led her familiarly to the cafeteria. As they passed Liu Guoping, she joked,
"Little Liu's already a commanding officer? I remember you even took leave from military academy to attend my wedding the year Lao Guo and I got married! When are you getting married?"

Liu Guoping quickly begged for mercy: "Good sister-in-law, it's New Year's Day today, let's talk about something happy!"

A special table for family members had been reserved in the middle of the canteen, and Instructor Jiang Da was busy inviting the family members to take their seats.

Shi Xing glanced at the desks in Class 9: "Class 9 is quite spacious, and there aren't many people. How about Lin and I sit in Class 9? What do you think, Lin?"

Lin Wan nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"

Instructor Jiang Da quickly waved his hand: "Oh, that won't do..."

"Alright, alright! Class 9 is fine!" Liu Guoping quickly pulled Jiang Da aside and invited Shi Xing and Lin Wan to sit down at the Class 9 table.

Shi Xing and Lin Wan sat side by side in the main seats.

Guo Yuanshuai casually sat down next to Shi Xing and waved his hand, saying, "Sit down, everyone. Everyone sit in your own seat, don't just sit anywhere!"

The veterans immediately started scrambling for seats. Li Dongshui headed for the seat next to Lin Wan, but was pulled back by Niu Sanxian and Wang Lin, each taking one of their ears.

When Xu Ge came in from outside after taking off his apron and washing his hands, there was only one empty seat next to Lin Wan.

"Hurry up and come over here, everyone's waiting to raise a glass!" Niu San shouted, stepping on a case of beer.

Xu Ge had no choice but to sit in the seat that everyone had reserved for him. Lin Wan next to him was smiling and whispering to Shi Xing.

"Come on, comrades, shall we toast all the family members together with this first glass of wine?"

Liu Guoping stood up, holding his cup, and shouted loudly.

"it is good!"

"cheers!"

"This second toast is to ourselves! Six consecutive times, awesome!"

"Six consecutive wins are awesome!"

Liu Guoping waved his hand and said, "Now it's up to you to do your own thing!"

Everyone had just finished the operation in the early hours of the morning, so tonight's New Year's Eve dinner felt more like a celebration in another form.

As soon as Company Commander Liu Guoping finished speaking, the entire canteen erupted in excitement.

After downing two beers, Xu Ge's face turned red.

He originally wanted a beverage, but Lin Wan jokingly changed it to beer.

The veterans exchanged smiles, first raising their glasses in unison to toast Guo Yuanshuai and Shi Xing to a long and happy life together. After the wine was refilled, they immediately turned their glasses to Xu Ge and Lin Wan.

"Dr. Lin, we'd like to raise a toast to you!"

The veterans didn't offer any toasts, they just insisted on a toast.

Lin Wan smiled and picked up her glass. Seeing that Xu Ge didn't move, she said irritably, "Didn't you hear them toasting the two of us?"

Xu Ge had no choice but to pick up his cup and drink the third cup.

After a few drinks, everyone relaxed and chatted while eating. Lin Wan and Shi Xing were practically like sisters.

Halfway through the New Year's Eve dinner, people at different tables started visiting each other's homes.

The tradition of the Sixth Company is that the families of our comrades are our own family. Naturally, the family table and the Ninth Platoon's table are the focus of everyone's attention.

After several rounds, not only Lin Wan, but even Shi Xing was drunk and dizzy.

Left with no other choice, Guo Yuanshuai had to get up and help his wife fend off the drinks.

Seeing that Lin Wan couldn't hold on any longer, Xu Ge volunteered to pick up his cup and stand in front of the squad leader, saying, "Squad leader, I'll drink it for Dr. Lin!"

The squad leader of the massive squad had come with Luo Shan's mission, and when he saw Xu Ge taking over, he had no objection. He said, "You can help Dr. Lin drink, but one cup is not enough, at least three cups."

"Squad Leader, this is my first time drinking alcohol, I really can't drink that much."

Xu Ge let out a burp, and Lin Wan immediately reached out and patted him on the back twice.

"It's okay if you can't drink it. We can play a drinking game. Whoever loses drinks, so you won't say I'm bullying you."

Guo Yuanshuai, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore: "Xiao Ba, this is going too far. Look at Xu Ge, he seems like he knows how to play rock-paper-scissors..."

"I will!" Xu Ge's eyes lit up. "Squad Leader Eight, how about we drink until we drop?"
