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

Chapter 281 The Gun That's Best for You! Modified Gun?

Hidden Wolves' open-air sniper range is located on the back mountain of the base, next to a small lake.

When Xu Ge rode over on his electric motorcycle carrying three sniper rifles, Li Dongshui stared wide-eyed.

"M700, M24, SCAR-H... Why did you bring so many guns? And they're all 7.62 caliber."

“He can’t handle large caliber weapons right now. Since he wants to practice sniping, let’s start with 7.62.” Thor helped Xu Ge answer the question.

"Practice sniping?" Li Dongshui thought she had misheard and looked at Xu Ge. "You want to be a sniper too?"

"Can't you?"

Xu Ge put the gun and a bunch of accessories on the ground. "Help me install the scope and calibrate it again while you're at it."

Li Dongshui: ? ? ?

"No, you want to practice sniping, and you even need me to help you with your rifle calibration?"

Xu Ge straightened his face: "Why are you whining when I ask you to do something? What? Does my word as the deputy team leader no longer carry weight?"

Li Dongshui: ...

Thor: ...

"Alright, he's a newbie, it's only right for you, as a veteran, to help him out." Thor finally spoke after holding back for a while.

Li Dongshui then reluctantly began installing the scope.

Xu Ge, with his hands behind his back, began to wander around, showing absolutely no intention of helping out.

"Cousin, what's the furthest distance on this shooting range again? Let me make this clear, I can't perform at my best if it's less than 700 meters!"

"What are you trying to prove to me?"

Thor was amused and exasperated. "It's 1500 meters from here to the foot of the mountain, and 2700 meters to the top. Is that enough? If not, go on a boat on that lake. You can see all the way to the border. 8000 meters is enough for you to have some fun, isn't it?"

Xu Ge remained silent.

"Get over there and stick the target paper on!"

"Hey!"

Xu Ge hopped on his motorcycle, grabbed the target paper, and immediately headed towards the foot of the mountain.

Determined to prove himself, he placed the target paper directly at the 1500-meter mark.

But when he looked back and saw that Thor and Li Dongshui had become almost imperceptible tiny black dots, Xu Ge still felt guilty and stuck the target paper to the 600-meter and 800-meter positions.

Even so, he still felt that the distance was very far.

After Xu Ge returned, Li Dongshui immediately began loading ammunition and testing the gun.

Bang bang bang!
Boom!

Bang bang bang!
Each gun fired a maximum of three shots. Li Dongshui got up from the ground, clapped his hands, and said, "It's done. You can shoot yourself now!"

"major!"

Xu Ge gave a thumbs up, then lay down and hugged the M700 to his chest.

Thor raised his monoculars: "Want me to be your observer and report the parameters?"

"Need not!"

Xu Ge answered crisply and decisively, and then cocked the bullet with a click.

With the help of his superb mental arithmetic skills, he only glanced at the surrounding wind speed, wind direction, and temperature before immediately crouching down and starting to aim.

Thor didn't speak, quietly watching Xu Ge's performance.

He knew that this guy was also an excellent observer, and in some ways even seemed to surpass him.

boom!
A gunshot rang out, and Xu Ge's body jolted.

Thor and Li Dongshui simultaneously picked up their binoculars and looked towards a location 600 meters away.

"Dry!"

Xu Ge cursed and cocked the bullet again with a click. "This last shot doesn't count. My hand was shaking."

boom!
The gun fired, and Xu Ge immediately looked at the target through the scope, a smile playing on his lips.

Li Dongshui was somewhat surprised: "Nine rings?! That's impressive, Goubao! You're so much more accurate than before!"

Thor remained noncommittal, saying, "Let's fire a few more shots and see."

"okay!"

Xu Ge gained confidence and fired three more shots, one missing the target and two hitting it.

"Let's try the 800-meter race!"

"Switch to an M24!"

"Change to a SCAR!"

At Thor's request, Xu Ge switched from 600 meters to 800 meters, and also fired all three guns.

The 800 meters is much more difficult than the 600 meters, but Xu Ge can still hit about 3 out of 5 shots.

"How's it going, cousin? Those white legs?"

Xu Ge sat up and began reloading the three sniper rifles, looking expectant. "Give me your feedback!"

Thor looked at Li Dongshui: "White Legs, you tell us your opinion first."

"it is good!"

Li Dongshui thought for a moment, "I think Goubao has indeed improved a lot. He used to rarely hit the target in the 400-meter race..."

"Hey, let's not bring up the past anymore," Xu Ge said somewhat awkwardly.

"Well, the accuracy should be sufficient for normal situations, but I always feel that you're firing a little too hastily!"

"Haste?" Xu Ge was taken aback. "No, I'm pretty steady!"

Thor spoke up: "Dogba isn't in a hurry, it's just that this is his shooting style. If he slows down, his accuracy won't improve."

Xu Ge nodded: "My cousin understands me best. The longer I take to aim, the less accurate I become." "So which gun do you find more comfortable and suitable for you to shoot with now?" Thor asked.

Xu Ge was in a dilemma: "To be honest, I think these three guns are all about the same. Their accuracy and range are all OK. Although the M700 has higher requirements for the surrounding environment, that's not a problem for me. Besides, this gun is lighter."

As for the SCAR and M24, there's not much to say; they're fairly standard and unlikely to cause any mistakes. Overall, they're really neck and neck.

Thor laughed: "Okay, you can do another round, but this time you have to treat it like a real battle!"

Xu Ge was taken aback: "Real combat? What do you mean?"

"Imagine the target as the enemy, and you must eliminate it as soon as possible. With this mindset, you can then answer which gun suits you best."

"Row!"

Xu Ge set up the M700 again.

boom!
"Grass!"

Click!

After firing the first shot, Xu Ge cursed as he quickly reloaded and fired a second shot.

call!
He finally hit the target with his second shot, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Thor didn't comment, but signaled to Xu Ge to switch to the second M24 and fire.

Whether it was nervousness or something else, Xu Ge missed the first shot again, and in his panic, he finally hit the bullseye on the third shot.

Before Thor could speak, Xu Ge set up the third SCAR. Just as he was about to aim, he suddenly realized something and froze on the spot.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Dongshui asked, puzzled. "Keep fighting!"

Xu Ge didn't answer, but turned around and looked at Thor with a look of sudden realization: "Cousin, I think I understand what you mean!"

Thor laughed too; this kid really does have a high level of comprehension.

"Keep fighting, we'll talk after we're done."

"it is good!"

Xu Ge turned around and continued aiming.

Li Dongshui didn't understand the meaning of the previous conversation between the two. Seeing that Xu Ge was about to shoot, he quickly picked up his binoculars and looked at the target 800 meters away.

Da da da!
A burst of gunfire suddenly rang out.

To his surprise, Xu Ge pulled the trigger repeatedly, firing three shots in quick succession.

Looking at the target paper again, there are two new bullet holes near the bullseye.

. . .

. . .

Xu Ge sat on the ground, looking down at the SCAR in his hand without saying a word, seemingly re-examining this gun that he hadn't valued.

"what?"

Li Dongshui, a top sniper, quickly figured out the trick: "This tactic has a very high margin for error in actual combat!"

"To be precise, this can be done in Goubao's hands."

Thor spoke up, "When he uses a bolt-action sniper rifle, there's a high probability that the first shot will miss. He only manages to adjust it back based on the bullet impact point on the second shot. This is Dogbao's characteristic, and it's a skill that everyone who improves their shooting skills through hard work will possess."

"It is undeniable that bolt-action sniper rifles are indeed superior to semi-automatic rifles in terms of accuracy, but semi-automatic rifles also have their own advantages, especially when pursuing the first wave of hits."

"Furthermore, in actual combat, once you get into close combat with the enemy, the advantage of a semi-automatic sniper rifle is greater than that of a bolt-action sniper rifle, and it can even be used directly as an assault rifle!"

Thor's words resonated with Xu Ge. In Hidden Wolves, everything is based on actual combat!

"You mean you want me to be an assault sniper like Face Bro?" Xu Ge asked.

The image of the old man running and sniping enemies on the cliff instantly flashed into his mind.

Thor shook his head: "Old Face is a top-tier sniper who has achieved both talent and hard work. You can't learn that. What I mean is that you're not really suited to be a pure sniper. You don't have the restless spirit in your bones, but you can maximize your accuracy!"

At this point, Thor suddenly winked at Xu Ge: "Do you remember those six big characters at the recruit training shooting range?"

Xu Ge's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood: "So that's how it is! In that case, this SCAR really is the most suitable gun for me!"

Thor lit a cigarette: "What do you think? When have I ever been wrong about my judgment?"

"But I still feel like it's not quite right."

Xu Ge frowned and muttered to himself, "The trigger is too light and easily deflects, and the magazine capacity is too small. It needs at least thirty rounds..."

"Hey you, that's enough!"

Thor said irritably, "What the hell are you talking about? All of these are assault rifle configurations. What, you want the rate of fire and magazine capacity of an assault rifle, but also the accuracy and range of a sniper rifle?"

Xu Ge suddenly remembered something: "Cousin, didn't you say we could modify firearms ourselves?"

Thor knew what Xu Ge wanted to say and said calmly, "Since this gun was invented, countless people have modified it, but so far, there hasn't been a single modification that can be considered excellent. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because this gun is already perfect enough, it is almost impossible to improve its original performance, and it is easy to have the opposite effect."

"I don't believe it! I want the deputy squad leader to try it for me!" Xu Ge said. "He can even modify the white-legged 202!"

Thor: ...

"Don't do anything reckless! Your squad leader is an amateur; he might just destroy this gun!"

Thor frowned and reminded him, "Besides, modifying a gun takes time. Putting aside whether he has time or not, we're going out on a mission in a few days, and everyone will be equipped with foreign military weapons. You finally have a handy one, don't let it interfere with our business!"

Xu Ge and Li Dongshui's expressions both changed.

"Are we leaving the country? Where are we going?"

"You'll find out in time."

Xu Ge thought for a moment: "Then I'll go to the repair company tonight and ask my squad leader if it's possible to change the course?"

"Row."
