This new gun is still calibrated at the factory, and it has not been touched for more than 20 years.

The gun is a good gun, but this way of shooting is not a professional skill: in Leonid's eyes, Vasily obviously slowed down the usual habitual rhythm of shooting, in fact, there are many problems, but it is enough to fool the Albanians on the side.

Very chic shooting range shooting skills, quite accurate.

This is the only way, otherwise with the level of shooting of the Red Devils, God knows what these Albanians will think.

Vasily fired three shots, and did not remove the magazine, withdraw the bullet and reload it according to the usual custom, but simply closed the safety and calculated the ball in a non-standard manner, and then carried the gun to see the impact point.

Deliberately, he did not operate in accordance with the strict requirements of the army, and only did the most basic safety operations: this is how many accidents come, but there are always some people who are too lazy to unload the bullets in the chamber.

Seeing that Mr. Cannavaro had apparently closed the safety of his guns, the Albanians did not say much, the soldiers were still standing in place, and several officers came forward to watch the excitement.

That steel helmet is miserable!

The magazine is filled with the most common M1943 ordinary bullets, the warhead is copper-plated, steel is fully armored, and a large low-carbon steel core is used, and there is no lead between the warhead armor and the steel inner core.

The weight of the warhead of this structure is relatively lighter than that of the lead core bullet, and the muzzle velocity of the warhead is also higher, and the penetration power at this distance of about 100 meters is not "intermediate power" at all: the steel helmet is about three bullet holes at a fist distance, but it has not been penetrated at both ends, and the other side is only dented.

Of course, it may also be because the steel helmet is leaning against the mountain, and the opposite layer of steel is supported by the soil behind it, so it is not penetrated.

The performance of the bullets produced in the 60s is still very good, and it is enough to penetrate the steel helmet, if the steel helmet is worn on the human head, then the human head will become a rotten watermelon.

By the way, this steel helmet is also made in China!

It seems that the Chinese army did not begin to equip steel helmets on a large scale until the 80s, and before that, the Chinese army was equipped with a small number of domestic steel helmets.

There are not many, there are still some, such as the Type 65 paratrooper helmet equipped on a small scale.

In fact, there is another kind of steel helmet that the Chinese army has basically not equipped, but it has been mass-produced, that is, the Type 69 aid helmet that Leonid will grasp in his hand and see.

The helmet for aiding Albania, as the name suggests, is a steel helmet specially produced by China in order to aid Albania: after the Soviet Union and Albania became enemies, China assisted Albania with one of the many materials.

This aid helmet follows the style of the steel helmet approved by the Chinese Military Commission in 1960, which is improved according to the head shape of the Europeans, and according to the different sizes, the steel helmet weighs about 1 kilogram to 1.1 kilograms, and is painted with grass yellow.

Specifically designed for aid, a total of 20 to 300,000 were produced, almost all of which went to Albania.

30,000 troops, 300,000 steel helmets, this thing is still notoriously durable, can the Albanians wear it?

No problem, save it, if there is a war, it will be sent to the militia...

Vasily said that the gun was good, and Lieutenant Colonel Baluku and others also gave face, and it was okay to praise Mr. Cannavaro's marksmanship, just to praise each other, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello

The steel helmet remained in place, and Vasily, Leonid, and Gilardino returned to the entrance of the cave and tried their guns, using single shots and point shots, and completely smashed the poor steel helmet into a sieve.

All 120 rounds of ammunition are gone, and no one cares about what happened to the helmet, and it should be time to talk about business.

Don't go to the office, just stand here and negotiate a verbal agreement first.

I haven't seen the warehouse yet, it's the same.

Vasily was quite simply, first about ammunition.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, how many M43 shells can you shoot here?"

To put it bluntly, this is a good question, and Lieutenant Colonel Baluku and others are happy to hear it.

To this, Baluku said: "This one warehouse alone is very large, Mr. Cannavaro, I need to know how much you need." ”

Vasily smiled, "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, this bullet is the cheapest type of munition, the largest consumption, but it is the last thing that wholesalers in the arms business want to do, but they don't have to have.

In this way, as long as you can sell as much as the price can be negotiated, we will ask for it all!"

It's so domineering!

Leonid noticed a happy look on the faces of several Albanian officers, apparently helping the poor enough.

"There are 130 million M43 rounds in this warehouse, and you only need to leave 10 million rounds, are you sure you want to eat them all?"

Vasily's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Quantity is not a problem, price is a problem, no arms dealer thinks that there are too many stocks in their hands." ”

The Albanians had obviously discussed countermeasures to various situations that might arise before, and this Lieutenant Colonel Baluku didn't need to avoid Vasily and the three to discuss something, and said: "For 50 Italian lira per issue, we are responsible for the safety of domestic transactions, loading and unloading transportation, and the wharf rent and labor costs ensure that you can get the lowest price." ”

This is a cub selling Ye Tian is not distressed!

But Vasily doesn't know what people say, this arms business is not a supermarket where you don't have to bargain, you can still bargain.

"It's a bit expensive.

Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, in this way, let me tell you about the recent retail price of M43 shells on the American market.

1,000 Soviet-made commercial ammunition that is 15 years old is only $130, or 13 cents per shot, which is still the retail price.

50 lira is about 3 cents, plus freight, risk money and labor, even if I can ship these bullets into the United States and sell them wholesale, then I guess I will lose money!

The biggest problem, as you may know, is that the United States has temporarily banned the import of Chinese-made ammunition, and the only way out for these bullets is in Africa.

The black natives over there are not as rich as the Americans, and we can't do a loss-making business. ”

In fact, Vasily's words are half-true, the price of bullets in the United States is actually not high, because that is the United States, where the civilian gun and ammunition business is the most transparent!

If you do transparency, the price will be affordable, and everyone is a small profit but quick sales strategy: no way, there are many manufacturers and fierce competition.

If you want to sell expensive, then the house will be cheap, and in the end it will be what it is now.

And the truth is that the cost problem is the same way out: Africa, now it is really the only place that can digest such a large amount of ammunition in a short period of time.

Everyone wants to eat me, you can't let me fuck the heart of selling white flour, and as a result, I can't even make money selling cabbage, right?

There are also nonsense: many African black buddies have no money, but this bullet is more expensive in many places in Africa than in the United States!

It's even a lot more expensive!

Bullets for war, of course, will be more expensive than those on the American market.

What if you don't have money?

It's okay, gold, diamonds, and even the right to mine mineral resources can be exchanged for weapons and ammunition.

Behind the two Vasily is a "joint force", but they never thought of working against US law on the surface, smuggling these bullets into the US market.

If you get tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and send them back to the United States for your own use, Washington will probably turn a blind eye even if it knows about it.

But hundreds of millions of rounds...

Then you're too shameless for me!

In Ukraine, Belarus and other places, the bullet is also cheaper, but the freight is relatively much more expensive: a glance at the map here understands that it can be transported to Africa much closer, otherwise Vasily would not have thought of looting the Albanian arsenal.

50 lira is too expensive, Lieutenant Colonel Baluku thought for a moment and said, "Then you quote a price." ”

"25 lira. ”

"It can't be!"

Baluku outright refused.

Vasily was not in a hurry at all, and said: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, bullets are the most unprofitable goods, and it is not okay to have bullets without guns, let's talk slowly." ”

Well, Baluku almost forgot that he was in charge of an arsenal, not a bullet depot, and he only made a lot of money selling bullets?

The bargain price was 30 lira per shot, which is equivalent to 1.8 cents per shot, which is already well below the ex-factory price.
