Great Power

Zheng Jianguo was a little embarrassed for a moment. He just understood the cultural differences between the two sides. In a sense, his birthday is really a different solar calendar every year. Of course, what’s even more prickling is that he will pass twice when he encounters a leap month: "This pair For you, yes, it’s different every year-but it’s easy to remember, it’s October 28th in the lunar calendar."

The wind and snow outside the car window showed no signs of diminishing. Yuna drove slowly, and occasionally encountered traffic jams. Fortunately, the two of them were not in a hurry, but Zheng Jianguo saw this for the first time in two lifetimes. The heavy snow, lying on the window from time to time, looked out. After more than half an hour, the car drove straight into an underground parking lot. Yuna said, "Here, this is it."

Maybe it was because of the snow. It was cold in the underground parking lot. Zheng Jianguo, who got out of the car, shivered. After Yuna locked the car door, she walked forward without even pulling her down jacket: "I heard you have them too. Snow right?"

"Yes, but it's not so big and sudden. I heard people say that because there are no mountains to relax, it is prone to rapid and heavy snowfall here, but relatively speaking, this kind of snow is rare at home, and it’s only going to the north. It's also rare in the three provinces of Northeast China."

It was almost half a meter thick in one night. Such a heavy snow can only be seen under extreme conditions. Zheng Jianguo followed Yuna through dozens of cars. He did not expect the business of this shooting range to be so good. Many people.

"Hi Yuna, didn't you go to work today?"

"Big guy, I have a rest today. This is my friend, Zheng~ He is coming to apply for a hunting license and firearm certification card. You should know him."

After Yuna pushed open a closed fire door, Zheng Jianguo, who felt the warmth, heard someone say hello to her, and saw her unzip the zipper and collar of her down jacket to a counter. He also She quickly took out her wallet from her inner pocket, took out the driver’s license and handed it to the big man at the counter who was two meters tall. Then Yuna was still talking about him: "Then I will teach him how to use the gun. ——"

"Zheng?"

Suspicion flashed across the fat face of the big man with a shiny forehead, just waiting for him to stretch out his fat hand to take the driver's license and read it. His brown eyes flashed twice quickly, and a bright smile appeared on the fat face: "Oh, Zheng Jianguo, You are welcome. I didn’t expect you to be so young. Today is the first day of eighteen years old, so I will apply for a gun~"

"Hello, big man, I wanted to come over and apply for a long time, but I am not enough age and can only wait, can you help me? I want to apply for a hunting license and a firearm certification card ~ how much does it cost?"

Looking at the big man returning the driver's license, Zheng Jianguo took it and stuffed it into his wallet. Yuna next to him had turned to look at other customers in the store. The big man swept her eyes around her waist and was under the counter. He took out three writing boards and placed them in front of him. After clicking on them with thick fingers, he said: "This is the application form for the safety class. The class location is on the third floor upstairs. This is the hunting permit application form. The fee is 48. US dollars, this is the application form for the firearms certification card. The fee is US$89.

Note that you need Moneyorder money order or Bankcheck bank check, cash payment is not supported, and a copy of your passport and visa is required. We have a photocopier here, and a copy is charged for 1 USD, and then a stamped envelope is required. Go to your address, we also have--

In addition, these three items have prerequisites. The firearms safety class involves the application of a certification card, so you must get the results of the safety class before you can apply, and the hunting license study has its own exam content, but I believe It’s not a big problem to have Yuna help you. Are you going to play or apply first?"

"Apply first?"

Zheng Jianguo turned his head to look at Yuna, who was implicitly wary, and the latter quickly nodded and said: "Apply first, but you can study in the afternoon. Zheng, are you okay this afternoon?"

Zheng Jianguo was naturally fine. The school was closed. He originally planned to stay at home and read books. But if he thinks about it, he can quickly get the gun back and read the book at ease. So it took more than half an hour to fill in, and the time was ten. At half past one, after making an appointment for a safety class, the two ran to the pizzeria next door to have lunch and then returned to the shooting range.

Looking at the long spear hanging on the wall in the store, Zheng Jianguo had already picked one for him before Zheng Jianguo spoke: "AR15 and M16 series are good, they have been sold for decades, you can get in touch in advance—"

"No, I'm in school now, how many wooden walls can this gun penetrate?"

Quickly shook his head, the big man was dumbfounded, turned his head and looked at Yuna, who also said: "He is for self-defense, to prevent someone from invading, the probability of accidental injury by the two shots It's too big, you can't buy a pistol, just use shotgun, right?"

"Just defend yourself at home? Remington M870?"

The big man glanced at Zheng Jianguo’s small face, turned around and put the gun back and took two from the counter. One left and the other placed on the counter and said: "This is the best home defense weapon, most of them Families will use one of these two—"

Both guns are shotguns. Zheng Jianguo looked at one of the guns with a discharge of shotguns inserted in his body. He touched his hand and felt a faint coolness. He suddenly felt a little excited. Together, he could touch the gun. This was the first encounter. Only when he wanted to pick it up, the big man said, "Don’t point the muzzle to people. Don’t put your index finger on the trigger when holding it. The best action is to straighten your index finger. , Use your thumb and other fingers to pick it up, so as to avoid the risk of safety if you forget to turn off the insurance when you use other guns in the process—"

"How many shots can this gun hold?"

He picked it up with the muzzle down and turned around. Zheng Jianguo felt the texture of the gun with his hand. The big man said, "Both are two shots, because most of the criminals faced by ordinary families in self-defense are the same. To the two, and both guns reload quickly—"

"No matter how fast it is, I am afraid that it will not be as fast as a pistol—"

Zheng Jianguo has deeply felt the taste of the white tooth with a gun and kicking the door. If Yuna and her former partner happened to be at home at the time, he would not even be able to transport the bones back. When he thought of this place, he glanced at You next to him. Na, looked up at the upper row of guns of different lengths and said, "If you have a firearm certification card, can you buy these fully automatic rifles?"

"If you have a firearm certification card, you can buy all the pistols in this house, but I think that if you use it at home for self-defense, a shotgun is more suitable. You can use ordinary bird and deer bullets—"

The big man leaned on the counter and looked at the gun behind him. Zheng Jianguo's gaze swept over the AK, and he knew that he could not buy the AK and AR and M16 series to go back. Otherwise, the school might not come to his own. I'm in trouble, I just looked at a few rounds of ammunition on the shotgun, and hesitated and said, "Big man, you also know that I'm not an ordinary person, last time--"

"Zheng, just say whatever gun you want, don't say anything else."

Yuna raised her brows to interrupt Zheng Jianguo's words, and the blue eyes fell on his face, and the latter said, "Shotgun, is there a large magazine?"

"Big magazine?"

A suspicious color flashed across the big man's fat face, and apparently did not understand what he meant, Yuna next to him said: "It's a magazine. Zheng means that there is a big--does it play drums?"

Big magazine-the magazine of the shotgun?

The big man really understood what Zheng Jianguo was asking for, but after he turned his head and looked at the gun on the shelf and the gun under the counter, he scratched his forehead and said, "Well, I have to ask. For instance, I didn’t see a shotgun with a bullet-drum, this, Zheng, wait a moment, I’ll call and ask if there is any in the warehouse."

"I remember that there was a style with drums. It seemed to be 20 rounds."

Yuna spoke quickly, and the big man nodded slightly and walked to the phone next to him. "We are the largest gun chain store in the United States. If there is one, and it has been listed, then we will definitely have this Gun, Zheng, don't worry."

"Okay, thank you, big man~"

Zheng Jianguo showed a brilliant smile on his face, 20 rounds of drums-just thinking about it, I felt full of security, but Yuna next to him stared at the excitement on his face and said, "I remember the gun. It's heavier, but has very little recoil."

"The shotgun also has recoil?"

Zheng Jianguo recalled the various movies and TV series he had watched, and found that when people picked up the shotgun and shot it, Yuna said: "The 20-round shotgun can only be semi-automatic or fully automatic. Otherwise, it would be too much trouble as a self-defense weapon, but I don’t know when I saw it or where I heard it. Of course, based on my knowledge of firearms, this kind of gun is generally more expensive."

"Acheson Assault 12, a shotgun with a constant rear seat system and 20 rounds of drums. It costs $1,738. Zheng, if you want it, I'll send it over—"

The big man’s voice sounded nearby, and Zheng Jianguo was instantly attracted by the 20 rounds of drums, but Yuna preemptively said before speaking: “The constant system uses a complex structure to greatly reduce the recoil. You can hardly feel it when firing this gun When it comes to recoil, of course you can buy several other shotguns at this price."

"Significantly reduced recoil?"

Zheng Jianguo was stunned, but he quickly raised his hand and said: "Big guy, I want two. You can send them here. I can pay the deposit first. When my firearm certification card comes down, I think this It should be the gun I was looking for—"

"Two? This gun is heavier. A single gun weighs 6.5 kg with a 20-round magazine—"

The big man looked at Zheng Jianguo's body with curiosity. The latter began to wonder whether his choice was right or wrong, and he quickly said, "Can you give me a gun of almost the same weight?"

"Well, well, I will call you again later."

The big man put down the phone and shook his head, walked around on the gun rack, raised his hands and took the machine gun from the rack, and put it on the counter, saying: "This M249 general machine gun weighs 7.5 kg, which is more than a magazine. The Acheson Assault 12 weighs 1 kg, you can try the feel—"

"Ok--"

Seeing that the big guy who only appeared on the battlefield was right in front of him, Zheng Jianguo grabbed the gun in both hands and lifted it from the counter. The muzzle was up and he weighed the weight in his hands. He nodded and said: "It's a bit heavy, then What are the shortcomings of the gun? I think you didn’t even put it on the shelf. There are still many problems with the gun, right—"

"Well, Zheng, you are very smart. That gun is easy to jam and the barrel overheats. The rate of fire of that gun is 300 rounds per minute—"

The big man smiled and said, Zheng Jianguo nodded and said: "Then let me try it, and please trouble your staff to run--"

"Okay, Zheng, just follow your request~"

The big man shrugged and said, when he went to the phone and made a call, he looked at him curiously after putting it down and said, "Of course, if you are not aiming like an assault rifle, it will get stuck and the barrel will overheat. It will be a big problem, after all, even if it blows up, it won’t hurt the user like an aim test—"

"Yes, I think so too. When we face criminals who invade our homes, we will not aim and shoot with a shotgun, but at the opponent's approximate location, bang~"

Smiling and making a gesture with his hand, Zheng Jianguo's idea is like this. In his opinion, if the 20 rounds of drum drums are used up and the invading enemy is not solved, then his remaining time can only be horrible, of course. To support his confidence that he wants to buy two guns and four drums, it is the body armor that he considers as the last line of defense at home, but the titanium alloy level 3 helmet he wants to buy has not yet arrived.

The warehouse of the shooting range is obviously not far away. It didn’t take long to deliver it when the snow was falling outside, but Zheng Jianguo fell in love with the big guy at first glance: "This gun tip—"

"Like the AR series, the purpose of the manufacturer's manufacturing is to be able to perform maintenance on the battlefield, but the military obviously has no intention of purchasing. After the test, there is no movement. If you didn't mention it today, you must bring it. The drum shotgun, we were afraid we would forget it."

The one who came to deliver the gun was an old man with white hair, but he held the gun firmly in his hand with one hand and handed it to Zheng Jianguo. There was no shaking on the face of his hand, and then he gave him a drum: " This is installed on the road, and you can go to the shooting range now to feel--"

"Thank you, thank you, I feel that this should be what I want."

Holding his hands on his waist and making gestures, Zheng Jianguo installed the drums under the guidance of the old man. Then the three of them went to the shooting range and put on earmuffs and stood in front of the shooting platform. Yuna had already kicked him by the side. Feet: "Put your legs apart, keep your waist straight, don't make your wrists so hard, use your fingers hard, it's okay—"

Standing in accordance with Yuna's instructions, Zheng Jianguo grabbed the handle with his left hand and pulled the trigger with his right hand. He only felt a shock in his arms: "Hey--"

The arms swayed back with slight recoil, Yuna next to her smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Yes, the first shot was hit! Go ahead, this shot is fully automatic—"
