Chapter 532 There is a problem with the ammunition
It was a perfectly dirty operation.
From a certain perspective, Qasim won.
When things have reached this point, except for Country H and Damao, the other participating teams have to face the most fatal problem - ballistics.
If all shooting ranges were opened up, everyone could make a ballistic table in one day. Although it is a bit difficult and the quality is not particularly high, it can still be used.
But just as solemnly predicted, the "sincere" Qasim did not open the shooting range above 400 meters for everyone to use until the sun went down.
Zhong Zhipeng finally understood that Qasim was just cutting sausages.
Advance three, retreat one.
After depriving others of their reasonable rights, you use them as bargaining chips to negotiate terms with others. In the end, you take three steps forward and only take one step back. In fact, you still get an advantage.
Although instructors like Zhong Zhipeng cannot figure out why a dignified commander of the country's elite special forces and a country's National Defense Commission would allow such a dirty trick to be carried out openly and openly, one thing is undeniable, that is, solemnly and everything was expected to be right.
.
Zhong Zhipeng's military service is longer than that of Zhuang Yan. When he first met Zhuang Yan, he had some thoughts in his mind, wondering why he was just a colonel while he was already a full-time brigade commander.
At this point, he understood.
"brigadier!"
Just one hour after entering the test site, Li Zheng and Hou Jun came over.
"What's up?"
Seeing that Li Zheng and Hou Jun looked uncomfortable, Zhuang Yan realized that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Li Zheng spread his hands and handed over two bullets.
"There's something wrong with this ammunition!" Li Zheng said, "It's too different from our competition ammunition. We just shot six groups, and only two were hits."
Hou Jun said: "Brigadier Commander, take a closer look at the bullets yourself."
Zhuang Yan took the bullet and looked at it carefully.
Yes, this is a sniper-specific ammunition with a copper shell. It looks fine at first glance. It is also a standard nato standard 7.62x51mm caliber ammunition. There is no difference in specifications from the improved high-precision ammunition used this time.
But after all, Zhuang Yan is an expert who has been playing with guns for many years. If you take a closer look, a problem arises.
First of all, the craftsmanship is not as high as that of customized ammunition. From the edge closing of the shell to the shape of the bullet tip, it is obvious that it does not meet the highest quality standards.
In fact, these are all trivial matters.
If top-notch snipers like Li Zheng and Hou Jun said that only two of the six groups hit, with a hit rate of only 30%, then the problem would be huge.
Special ammunition for high-precision snipers not only depends on the appearance of the craftsmanship, but that is only the basis of good ammunition. The interior of competition-level sniper ammunition is also very particular, and it pays great attention to industrial manufacturing capabilities, such as what material is wrapped in the warhead, and the packaging
Whether the bullet core under the copper skin is well made, a defective or shape-problematic bullet core will also cause ballistic stability.
After all, competition-level sniper bullets require extremely extreme consistency from the inside out to obtain the best ballistic consistency and minimal dispersion deviation.
Zhuang Yan put the bullet in his hand and weighed it.
"Um?"
He sensed something was wrong.
For bullets of the same standard and standard, this bullet is actually a little lighter.
Most people can't feel the difference of two or three grams, but experts will feel something wrong when they hold it in their hands.
"Lighter?"
Zhong Zhipeng grabbed the bullet and weighed it in his hands, feeling the weight.
"It must be lighter."
He has been teaching and researching shooting for half his life, and he is also an expert. When he started shooting, he knew something was wrong.
"Zhong Rui!"
He turned around and shouted to Zhong Rui's group.
"What's up?"
Zhong Rui and Liu Hai put away their guns and ran over.
"What's your hit rate?" Zhong Zhipeng asked.
Zhong Rui said: "It's okay. I'm not used to the ammunition. The hit rate is currently 70%. I guess it will return to normal after figuring out the trajectory."
Zhuang Yan frowned.
This is strange.
Ordinarily, the sniper skills of Li Zheng's group are no worse than Zhong Rui's. How come one group is so bad and the other group is normal?
"Zhong Rui, give me three of your team's bullets."
Zhong Rui took out three bullets from the magazine and handed them to Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan walked straight towards Li Zheng and Hou Jun's target position.
Li Zheng went over and squatted next to Zhuang Yan and said: "When I first got these ammunition, it was fine to shoot at a distance of 100 meters, but when it went up to 400 meters, there was a problem. The trajectory was very erratic and there was something wrong with the bullet.
"
"I'll give it a try." After Zhuang Yan finished speaking, he quickly opened the safety on Li Zheng's sniper rifle, loaded the bullet, then checked the handwheel, aimed at the Popper target 400 meters away, and fired three shots in a row.
After the shooting, I replaced the ammunition with Zhong Rui's team and fired three more times.
Soon, the results came out.
The first group using Li Zheng’s ammunition actually missed one round!
The second group all scored, no problem.
Zhuang Yan was stunned.
He asked for six more bullets, three for each group.
Another six shots.
The results were worse this time.
The ammunition of the first set of Li Zheng combination actually ran out of ammunition twice!
The ammunition of Zhong Rui's team ran out of ammunition.
For someone like Zhuang Yan, who is a gun king, his 400-meter result would make others laugh.
To be cautious, Zhuang Yan took six more rounds and repeated the above operation.
Finally, he stood up and said to Zhong Zhipeng and others: "There is indeed a problem with the ammunition. The standards of the bullets are not strictly controlled, and the quality control is too poor."
Zhong Zhipeng said: "Damn it, aren't they all Nato's standard ammunition? Are these bullets made in China?"
Zhuang Yan said: "I guess they don't have this level of manufacturing sniper-specific ammunition, but Nato standard ammunition is produced in many places around the world, from Europe to the United States, and some Asian countries. We are also domestically produced, right? Question
Yes, the place of production has a direct relationship with the quality of the bullet. They are all shoes, and imitations produced by large factories and small workshops have different quality coefficients."
Zhong Zhipeng suddenly realized: "They went to a small factory in Eastern Europe to customize their feelings?"
Zhuang Yan said: "There are many countries in Eastern Europe, and the craftsmanship in some places is good, but maybe it's not from Eastern Europe."
Zhong Zhipeng said: "How can we still fight like this? What if they use ammunition customized by a big factory and let us use ammunition from a small factory? Is the game still meaningful?"
Zhuang Yan thought for a moment and said, "I will go to Qasim to ask about this."
Zhong Zhipeng said: "I have a way."
He said solemnly: "Old Zhong, tell me."
Zhong Zhipeng said: "When the time comes..."
He looked around, carefully whispered into Li Zheng's ear, and whispered a few words.
After listening to this, Zhuang Yan nodded silently: "Okay, this is also a good idea."
Just after the discussion here, Jeffrey's "fk" sound came from the other side.
This is not surprising.
Because of the problems encountered, Yingjiang's seals will also encounter them.
Zhong Zhipeng said: "We watched a good show, and Jeffrey started to make trouble."
Zhuang Yan said: "Then let's watch the show first. I want to see if they have any more shameless methods. If this matter is spread in the future, they will be a joke."
