Chapter 344: Being able to get bullets is because I shoot well

People who have fired at targets all know that for live ammunition shooting, in order to avoid stray bullets hurting people, there usually needs to be a tall thing behind the target, this thing is generally called a target block.

The village where Li Long is located is on the southern edge of the Junggar Basin, tens of kilometers away from the mountains, so it is impossible to run to the mountains just to fire at a target.

So it is not easy to find a target block.

Fortunately, it freezes in winter, and the dam on the north side of the Dahi Reservoir has become a ready-made target block.

Not only this team, but the whole township is shooting here. Although the northern Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated, can you guarantee that if you fire in any direction, there is no one there?

Safety first.

Militia training shooting is not as regular as the army, but basically everything is there, such as bullet issuers, shooting lines, waiting areas, etc. Anyway, they are all in the snow, just draw a piece. Standing the target one hundred meters away, it is twenty or thirty meters away from the dam. In this way, even if the bullet flies, it will basically hit the dam.

Before shooting, you have to calibrate the gun. The weather is good today, cloudy, no need to consider virtual light.

Virtual light is actually the sun shining down. When people aim, they can see a little reflection at the position of the front sight notch. This thing will affect shooting accuracy.

Li Long was also selected as one of the gun calibrators. After all, he used guns more than others this year.

Shooting more will make you skilled, this is a truth, as for whether you can practice marksmanship, that's another matter.

Xu Chengjun pulled Li Long over to calibrate the gun, and Li Long also knew one of the reasons. Xu Chengjun brought an iron box of bullets today, which is 1,500 rounds.

If you calibrate the gun, you can use bullets as you like. If a gun is not calibrated well, or is not easy to calibrate, then fire a few more shots.

Then the number of bullets that can be freely distributed is relatively large.

Xu Chengjun gave the three people who calibrated the gun a dosage of fifty bullets each—two guns for each person.

After calibration, someone will check, and the extra bullets are basically kept by yourself.

The other two people retired from the army, and calibrating the gun is not a difficult task for them.

The three of them are calibrating the gun here, and others are waiting behind. Shooting is not a big deal in this era. There are tools for calibrating the gun. If it is biased and feels wrong, just adjust the front sight notch directly with tools.

Those two old soldiers are very relaxed, Li Long is still very concerned, he is still worried that if he doesn't calibrate well, the gun will not be accurate and affect the assessment results, then he will feel a bit like a sinner.

So after receiving the two guns, press the bullets, adjust the scale, go to the target platform piled up with snow, lie down, pull the bolt to load, aim at the target and fire three rounds first.

No telescope, after firing, he waited for the other two to fire, and then went to see the target paper together.

The bullets were concentrated at the nine-ring position on the lower right, so adjustment was not so difficult, just adjust to the upper left.

Simple, this gun is good.

Li Long thought silently, turned back, adjusted the gun slightly, and fired a few more bullets.

Waiting to see again, the bullets were in the ten-ring.

Li Long was still quite proud, pasted the target paper, and prepared to calibrate the other gun.

Xu Chengjun walked over and asked:

"How is this gun now?"

"Good, Captain, do you want to try?" Li Long said this as a courtesy.

"Alright, I'll try." Xu Chengjun took the gun and looked at it, "Are you used to using scale three to hit one hundred meters?"

"Hmm."

"Good." Xu Chengjun didn't say much, pressed the magazine full of bullets, lay down and began to aim, shoot.

Xu Chengjun shot very fast, in less than a minute, ten bullets were fired, and then stood up, the two people didn't calibrate the gun either, waiting to see.

"Go, go over and see the target."

The four people went to the target one hundred meters away together and looked.

Li Long had sharp eyes, and saw at a glance that ten bullets, five ten-rings, the rest were eight-rings and nine-rings, the position was a bit biased downwards. Was the gun not calibrated well or was it Xu Chengjun's problem with shooting?

Those two people didn't speak either, looking at Xu Chengjun. This thing is really hard to say.

"Not bad, this gun is calibrated well." Xu Chengjun opened his mouth to praise, "My problem with shooting, scale three hits one hundred meters, aim at the lower edge, reveal a little white edge, I am used to revealing a bit more, often hit low. This gun is calibrated well, Little Long, good!"

Li Long smiled. This level, passed.

The second gun had slightly more problems, Li Long calibrated it twice and passed.

Those two people also calibrated quite fast, Xu Chengjun went over and fired, tried it, and gave some opinions.

Then he turned back and asked Li Long for the gun number of the gun just now.

Obviously, Xu Chengjun should use this gun to shoot later.

This shooting result is to be recorded.

Li Long reported the gun number, and then placed the two guns beside the bullet issuer, and turned back to the team.

!.

He could have nearly forty bullets left, not bad.

The following shooting is different from what everyone usually sees and thinks.

After everyone takes the gun and bullets up, five rounds at a time, everyone has to fire five groups.

Everyone is issued a pack of twenty-five bullets, and after firing one group, go to see the target to see where they hit.

After one group is fired, then another group takes over.

In the past, they actually used their own guns to shoot, but most people don't know how to calibrate the gun, and this training time is relatively short, so they specially calibrated the shooting guns this time.

Li Long originally thought he wouldn't go up, but he was still called over by Xu Chengjun, issued a pack of bullets, and shot there according to the rules.

Three squads all finished shooting, Xu Chengjun called Li Long and the other three people out, and let others go back.

"You four people prepare to participate in the militia competition in the township. Actually, it's not a regular competition. Since the militia is going to train, it must be to get results. This year, neither the county nor the township has done a big job, so you just watch and compare. Now, I will issue four packs of bullets to each of you, you watch and shoot, after shooting, carry the target to Li Long's place at the old horse corral to put it first, and practice tomorrow."

Four packs is one hundred rounds, Li Long thought it was a big deal.

Just this, the bullets in the iron box were not used up. Xu Chengjun carried the gun, and after the bullet issuer registered, he hugged the rest away.

Li Long could still hear Xu Chengjun complaining: "The township let at least one box of bullets be fired in these few days, this box of bullets has two iron boxes, 3,000 rounds, it's not easy to consume."

Good, he was thinking about how to save bullets, while Xu Chengjun was thinking about how to consume bullets.

Ask him for a few more packs tonight.

But shooting still has to be shot. Li Long pressed the bullets and began to lie there and shoot. Three targets and four people, there must be one person waiting, so the person waiting sat on the side and watched others shoot.

Because it was a temporary target, it was impossible to have a target reporter. After watching the results of one group, after pasting the target paper, one person retreated, and the person who didn't shoot went up.

Actually, after firing a few groups, no one wanted to shoot anymore. Pressing bullets is troublesome, and shooting targets has no motivation. Even later, two people wanted to retreat together and let another person shoot.

Li Long stayed there obediently and fired five groups continuously, consumed a pack of bullets, and saw that he was basically within the ten-ring until the end, with few nine-rings, so he didn't shoot anymore and sat on the side.

Others saw that he didn't shoot anymore and didn't shoot either, so they simply went back.

After sending the target back, Li Long went to find Xu Chengjun at night, and asked him for a few packs of bullets.

"Alright," Xu Chengjun didn't say much, directly took out the key, opened the gun cabinet—he had an iron gun cabinet at home, the gun was in it, and the bullets were also in it. Xu Chengjun took out four packs of bullets from the gun cabinet and gave them to Li Long:

"Enough, right? Put some heart into it during the competition."

"Good. I will try my best." Li Long took the bullets with a smile.

Enough for a while. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 345 =====
