Zhuang Yan glanced in the direction of Jeffrey, his eyes full of meaning.
Of course Jeffrey knew he had fallen into a trap.
Qasim's words were actually digging a hole for him to jump out of.
As a result, he actually jumped.
Sure enough, after applauding, Qasim said: "I am very grateful to our Colonel Jeffrey for his candor. Yes, we hold this international special forces sniper competition to compare the individual's professional sniper ability. There is no doubt about this."
.”
At this point, he paused and turned his eyes to Jeffrey.
"As we all know, the United States is the strongest military country, and it is unparalleled in terms of weapons and equipment. Colonel Jeffrey also said just now that they use m118lr bullets, which are extremely effective and are famous in the world.
.But I would like to ask, apart from the American team, does anyone else use this kind of ammunition?"
No one said anything.
That is, they are all set by default.
Jeffrey's face turned green.
The m118lr bullet is exclusive to them, and indeed, as Qasim said, only they use this type of ammunition.
However, what Kasim said next made Jeffrey and all the seals even more shocked.
"What's more, as far as I know, the bullet you used this time was not the m118lr bullet, but another type of bullet. Am I right?"
Jeffrey glared at Kasim and laughed angrily: "Humph, it seems that Colonel Kasim has done a good job in our intelligence work."
Kasim waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, I only discovered this little problem when I came to the shooting range to watch everyone's training in the past two days."
Jeffrey said: "Your competition rules do not stipulate what bullets to use."
Qasim said: "Yes, we have not stipulated what ammunition to use before, but the list you reported only said that it was m118lr bullet, and it did not say that you were actually using the special command specially customized for you.
.300 Norma Magnum sniper round, I think I’m right!”
After speaking, he took out a .300 cartridge case from his pocket and held it in his hand for everyone to see.
Jeffrey was silent now.
Li Zheng asked Hou Jun in a low voice: "What? Is this kind of bullet very powerful?"
Hou Jun didn't know clearly and could only shake his head.
Zhong Rui participated in competitions all year round, so he knew it very well, so he whispered: "The bullet length of the .300 Norma Magnum bullet has been increased to 63 mm, which greatly increases the muzzle velocity and kinetic energy, so the end point at a longer distance is
The energy is also higher. In addition, its accuracy is better than the ordinary .308 Winchester bullet, and its wind deflection resistance and killing distance are better. The US Navy's special forces are equipped with this ammunition, and their snipers think it is
This type of ammunition is superior to .308 caliber ammunition.”
Zhong Rui met snipers who used this type of ammunition during competitions abroad, so he was deeply impressed by the performance of this type of ammunition.
The .300 Norma Magnum bullet is an improvement on the .338 Lapua Magnum. The designer shortened the .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge case and narrowed it to .300 caliber (7.62mm).
, using a large amount of propellant to propel the 230-grain (14.9 grams) Berger hybrid warhead, which has an ultra-high ballistic coefficient (bc) of 0.743, and the warhead still flies at supersonic speed at 1,500 meters.
Such an excellent bullet has successfully challenged the solid position of the .300 Winchester Magnum in the eyes of the US Marine Corps. Even its performance is not worse than that of the .338 Lapua Magnum by the US Navy Special Forces.
After the mystery was solved, the snipers from other teams began to laugh and discuss.
Still silent, Zhuang Yan looked at the situation around him and understood that the effect Qasim wanted had been achieved.
If the SEALs insist on not changing bullets, it is equivalent to admitting that their skills are mediocre, but changing the same ammunition as required is not a good thing for everyone.
On the contrary, the GRU snipers agreed with the new rules announced by Qasim, because in the past two days of adaptability training, they could not catch up with the US Navy SEAL snipers in terms of accuracy.
It's not that there is much difference in level. In fact, the snipers here are all top-notch, and their sniper skills are quite different. Therefore, the difference in weapons and ammunition becomes particularly prominent in this evenly matched situation.
The GRU use T5000 Russian-made sniper rifles, and players from Country H also use this type of gun.
Therefore, the ammunition does not make much difference to them. Even if they use the ammunition provided by the organizer, there will be no difference.
This is a bit of a pain for other snipers other than Da Mao. Due to the different standards, most of the other snipers use Nato standard ammunition, many of which are specially customized by their own countries. For example, here, they use the latest model.
sniper bullets.
Every sniper already knows the performance and parameters of the ammunition he uses. Generally speaking, changing ammunition requires redoing the ballistic table, which is a very troublesome task.
There is a big difference in accuracy between shooting with unfamiliar bullets and shooting with familiar bullets.
Zhong Zhipeng suddenly remembered something and asked Zhuang Yan in a deep voice: "Captain Zhuang, did you guess that they were going to change ammunition?"
He nodded solemnly as acquiescence, and said contemptuously: "From the moment we left the airport, I thought about it. I thought that my old classmate was an upright guy, but I didn't expect that after so many years, he has fallen like this.
Yes, relying on such small tricks to gain an advantage. But, as I have said long ago, war is never tiring of deceit, and military competition is actually a kind of competition."
At first Zhong Zhipeng didn't understand why Zhuang Yan didn't pay much attention to adaptive training and took everyone to run around in the surrounding mountains every day to engage in high-intensity cross-country marches. Now he finally understands.
Even if I lay down in the shooting range and fired a lot of bullets every day for the past two days, looking for ballistic characteristics at high altitudes, it is useless now.
Just like a SEAL sniper, the ballistic data accumulated over two days of hard work was completely useless.
Now that he knows that the other party wants to change the rules, there is really no need for Zhuang Yan to be busy at first. It would be better to wait for the dust to settle before making a decision.
Jeffrey protested, but the protest was ineffective.
The organizer is the organizer, and of course they have to squeeze out this home field advantage to make full use of it, and they must not be merciful.
Qasim's little idea is also very subtle. Instead of letting the Seals, GRU and the teams win the top three, it is better to directly set up obstacles for two of the teams, leaving the Seals and the GRU at a loss and unable to get the top three rankings.
Zhong Zhipeng said: "You, an old classmate, are so cruel. You would rather let the big guy take first place than let us and the Americans take the top three. This will directly make us lose our reputation!"
He solemnly smiled and said: "Do you think my old classmate will let Da Maozi go? Either he won't do it, or if he does, he will go for the first place. Just watch, there are still troubles behind him."
Zhong Zhipeng looked at Zhuang Yan in surprise and was speechless.
Zhuang Yan asked Zhong Zhipeng: "Old Zhong, is this your first time leading a team in a game?"
Zhong Zhipeng nodded: "Yes..."
Zhuang Yan said: "Then you should take a good look at it and learn from it. Once you get used to this kind of nonsense, you will be fine."
