One day later, the Space Marine Corps training base.
This base was originally a space factory, and its products were lead protective shells for fission reactors.
However, as the fission reactor was completely withdrawn from active service, the factory was abandoned. Then, based on the principle of no waste, the Space Force took it over and turned it into a space combat simulation battlefield.
Today, the two hundred astronauts from the supplementary team surrounded the entire training ground and started the space infantry combat simulation as planned.
Thirty minutes into the mock battle.
Wang Ping'an pulled out the rifle's magazine and confirmed the number of bullets inside.
Angele asked in confusion: "Why not use a transparent magazine or a magazine where the bullets in the magazine can be seen next to it?"
Wang Ping'an: "Because I think it's a ritual to confirm the magazine's condition like this."
“Isn’t it accurate to rely on mass to confirm residual bombs in space?”
"When your transparent magazine or a magazine with fragile transparent parts becomes deformed due to bumps or stray bullets, you will know the benefits of using an all-steel magazine."
As he spoke, Wang Ping'an leaned forward and opened fire on the "enemy" at the other end of the passage.
When the rifle is fired, the small engine on the gun sprays backwards according to the rhythm of shooting to balance the recoil of the rifle.
When shooting in a weightless environment, the recoil force is unbalanced, and the person holding the gun will start to spin in circles.
Combat in a weightless environment is a complex science, because in many cases people simply do not have a fulcrum to exert force.
If you grab something to secure yourself before firing every time, you will miss a lot of tactical opportunities.
Therefore, although astronauts' combat equipment includes electromagnets used to attach to bulkheads and fix themselves, using firepower while floating is still a skill that Space Force soldiers must master.
When shooting without a point of force, a big question is how to aim the gun at the enemy.
In a state of weightless floating, moving the direction of the muzzle will often cause the body to be moved. Only those who are proficient in the "mass autonomous movement method" can use the movements of other parts of the body to offset the movement of the gun.
Of course, if it is just fine-tuning, you can use the fine-tuning nozzle on the rifle to complete it.
Yes, the Type 56 space rifle itself is a small drone. It not only has an engine, but also an attitude control nozzle. You can even just throw the gun out, and then control the gun to aim and shoot like a drone.
As for someone like Wang Ping'an who holds the Type 56 and operates it like a traditional rifle, that's pure showoff: Look, I can use the rifle in space just like on the ground.
Of course, this kind of dazzling skill is not completely meaningless. In an emergency, you may also need to pick up the enemy's traditional rifle and shoot it.
These rifles only have improved ammunition, with oxidizer added to the propellant so that they can be fired in an air- and oxygen-free environment. Other than this, they are traditional rifles.
While Wang Pingan suppressed the enemy, Angeli pushed forward.
Suddenly, Wang Pingan's shooting stopped abruptly.
"I'm stuck, cover me!"
Angeli immediately started shooting.
Wang Ping'an pulled the trigger and slapped the side of the rifle forcefully.
If you are in a gravity environment, you usually only need to turn the gun upside down and shake it to complete the most basic obstacle removal. However, in a gravity-free environment, you can only rely on slamming to shake out the stuck bullets.
When the first step failed to resolve the malfunction, Wang Ping'an immediately entered the second step and began to pull the gun bolt repeatedly, trying to use the grappling hook to pull out the bullet casing stuck inside.
On the third pull, the cartridge case was finally thrown out and a new bullet was loaded.
Wang Ping'an: "I'm ready, let's start pushing forward."
In order to save propellant for the rifle, Wang Ping'an operated the small engine on the back of his spacesuit and pushed forward along the channel.
At this moment, the enemy defending the passage opened fire.
Because Angeli was suppressing fire, the bullet was fired from behind the corner and did not go straight to Wang Ping'an. Instead, it bounced off the bulkhead.
The first few shots missed, but the fourth shot hit Wang Ping'an's spacesuit firmly.
The front of the combat spacesuit is covered with carbon nanofiber armor plates, so it doesn't hurt at all if you get hit.
To destroy a combat space suit, it is generally recommended to attack from behind, as it can hit equipment that lacks protection.
Or use high-power ammunition to hit the helmet directly.
Wang Pingan marched forward despite the enemy's bullets that ricocheted through the wall.
He surpassed Angele's position and floated forward for a while. Just when Angele was about to change her bomb, he stopped maneuvering and attracted the electromagnet of the spacesuit to the bulkhead.
In this way, his aiming speed is faster than aiming with the rifle's stance nozzle.
Then Wang Pingan began to suppress the enemy.
Angele reloaded her ammunition expertly and then began to advance.
The standard two-person alternating cover strategy.
After Angeli was in position, Wang Ping'an began to advance again.
He moved forward slowly amidst the sound of Angele's gunshots, and suddenly noticed a blurry figure reflecting on the pipeline on the side of the intersection.
——I really didn’t expect that the enemy’s location could be determined in this way.
Thanks to the maintenance robots, the pipelines are polished and polished.
Wang Ping'an opened fire, and the bullet hit the pipe, tearing a crack and causing the gas in the pipe to spurt out.
One of the enemies ambushing at the crossroads was blown away.
At the moment when another enemy was distracted by a sudden change, Wang Ping'an activated all the propellers on his body that could eject backwards, and rushed towards the intersection like a rocket.
The moment before rushing out, Wang Ping'an launched the grappling hook, and the tip of the hook pierced another pipeline and hooked firmly on it.
The high-temperature steam ejected from the pipeline swept over Wang Ping'an.
However, space suits are not a vegetarian! A real macho man dares to resist steam with his body (wearing a space suit)!
Moreover, the steam also changed Wang Ping'an's position, allowing him to avoid the enemy's hasty blocking shots.
The rope behind the grappling hook tightened, and Wang Ping'an swung directly behind the enemy like a pendulum.
The opponent immediately used his mass to move and turn independently, but it was too late.
Wang Ping'an's shot hit the equipment on the back of his spacesuit. The simulated combat system determined that the enemy was "dead". A small white flag popped up above his head, and the position indicator light on his shoulder also flashed on.
But there was another enemy. Wang Pingan cut off the grappling hook and turned around.
The bullet came over and hit the spacesuit with crackling sounds.
Angele appeared at the corner of the intersection in time, sucked herself onto the bulkhead, took precise aim and fired——
The first shot hit the enemy's Type 56 rifle.
Yes, compared to a space suit with no external equipment on the front and a lot of carbon nano armor plates inserted, the rifle itself is a more vulnerable target.
Angele shot and broke the working fluid supply pipe of the rifle engine, and the working fluid in the bottle began to spray randomly, leading the enemy to roll in the weightless space.
Wang Ping'an immediately shot with Angele, "splashing water" on the rolling enemy.
As long as you scatter enough bullets, you will always hit key equipment.
Finally, the whistle sounded to end the battle.
"Wang Pingan, Angele de Lyon's team won." The voice of the referee at the training ground sounded in the earphones.
