Chapter Twenty-Seven: Buying a Gun
When I arrived at the gun shop, I saw that there were several people buying guns in the gun shop, and Jinyang even saw a seven or eight-year-old child. I don't know which parent is so good, and the child began to cultivate his child's interest in shooting at such a young age.
The gun shop is full of all kinds of guns, all kinds of long guns are hung on the wall, and the cabinets are all kinds of pistols, and the bullets are neatly arranged. It feels like you're picking up fast food at a fast food restaurant.
In the United States, it is normal to see a gun shop just like a store in China. The U.S. Constitution stipulates that anyone who is a U.S. citizen, at least 21 years old, and does not have any bad criminal records, can legally own a firearm. Jinyang is now an American citizen, and as a billionaire, owning a gun is a very normal thing.
Jin Yang looked at it carefully for a while, and found that whether it was a rifle or a pistol, Jin Yang didn't know any of these Jin Yang, and it seemed that he still had to ask the shopkeeper to introduce him. Walking forward, a black guy in his twenties asked, "Hello, sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"I need to buy a few pistols, some shotguns and rifles, but I don't know much about guns, can you introduce me?" Jin Yang said.
"That's fine, sir, but I have to make sure you have to be a legal citizen of the United States who is at least twenty-one years old and has no bad record of violating the law. The black guy said.
"Oh, of course that's fine, I'm a rancher not far from here who just changed my name to Redbud Ranch, and I'll be here a lot in the future. These are my documents, you can check them out. Jin Yang said and handed his driver's license to the clerk. In the United States, a driver's license is equivalent to a domestic ID card.
"You're that rich Chinese? Augusta has been spreading the news all over you this time, and Bauhinia is really a big guy. "Hearing that Jinyang is a billionaire, the attitude of the black guy is obviously different, after all, such rich people are often the main force of consumption, and they don't care about such a little money.
"I prefer a more powerful gun, you can introduce it to me, if it's appropriate, I'll try it first. Jin Yang said.
"Sir, then I recommend you the M500 revolver, known as the most powerful pistol in the world, is made by Smith & Wesson, the full length of the gun is 457mm, the barrel length is 266mm, the total height of the gun is 165mm, and the mass of the empty gun is 2.32 kg, which can already be called a hand cannon. But it's so powerful that it's useless anymore. The black guy said.
"Then get me a handful and I can have a good time on my ranch. Jin Yang said.
Looking at the M500 revolver that the clerk took, Jin Yang was shocked, with a silver-white gun body, a brown butt, and a scope, it looked so domineering, just one glance Jin Yang fell in love with it, it was too powerful.
Wait until Jinyang fills out the form to buy a gun and shows his identification, and then the clerk calls the FBI to confirm Jinyang's identity, whether Jinyang has a criminal record, whether he has a history of mental illness, whether he is over 21 years old, and so on. Then the clerk put away the form filled out by Jinyang, established a file and submitted it to the FBI, and the gun belonged to Jinyang after Jinyang paid the money.
In addition, Jinyang bought a Colt M2000 pistol, a golden king cobra, a Remington 700 rifle, and a Remington 870 shotgun, and these guns were equipped with a high-precision scope. Seeing Jinyang buy so many things, the clerk grinned happily, and now he can also earn a lot of commissions.
Then the clerk began to sell the bullets again, how much is this for one round, what is the price for one hundred rounds, what is the discount for buying five hundred rounds, and what about buying a thousand rounds. In addition, considering that Jinyang will often practice after returning to the ranch, the clerk asked Jinyang to buy more bullets to spare, and also asked Jinyang to apply for membership in the store, so that there will be discounts for buying guns and shooting targets later. Look at the old beauty of others, they are really good at business.
After buying a pistol, Jinyang also bought a large gun cabinet, basically these guns bought by Jinyang can be stored in, Jinyang decided to slowly collect all kinds of classic firearms in the future, put them into his collection.
Jin Yang asked if there were any requirements if you wanted to shoot a target, and the clerk said that it was very simple, the shooting range behind it could provide target shooting services, and it only cost 66 US dollars to shoot a white bullet, which was very cheap.
Jin Yang took the goggles and headphones, as well as the various guns and bullets he had just bought, and prepared to try each one for a while to see how it felt. Then Jinyang gave the clerk a tip of $100, which made the clerk happy for a long time, and enthusiastically led Jinyang to the shooting range.
"Sir, goggles and headphones must be worn, the eyes are to protect the eyes from the fire generated when the gun is fired, and the headphones, because the sound is too loud when the gun is fired, you also need to be careful. The clerk said enthusiastically while teaching Jinyang how to wear glasses and headphones.
Watching Jin Yang pick up the M500 revolver, he pointed a few times casually, although the gun was not loaded with bullets, the clerk was still frightened, and hurriedly said: "Sir, please don't point indiscriminately, please keep in mind, no matter whether there is a bullet in the gun, don't point the muzzle at the person, remember that it is any time." Otherwise, others will think that you are a threatening move, and they may shoot you directly, and it is very easy to accidentally injure people when the gun is pointed at someone, which is too dangerous. ”
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I don't know about this, and there are no bullets in the gun, so I didn't pay much attention to it, I'll pay attention next time, don't worry. After hearing the clerk say that the muzzle of the gun is so dangerous to people, whether it is for his own safety or the safety of others, Jin Yang feels that he must pay attention to this issue in the future, it is too important.
The clerk explained in detail the posture and key points of holding the gun, as well as some precautions, the shooting action should be fast and accurate, and the gun must be held steadily, not too tight, otherwise the gun is easy to shake, but not too loose, otherwise the recoil of the gun is easy to hurt the wrist. Especially for a high-powered pistol like the M500 revolver, you must hold it with both hands, you can't be nervous when firing, and be careful about the recoil of the gun.
After listening to the clerk talk about a lot of essentials, Jin Yang picked up his M500 revolver and tried to fire a few shots at the target. "Bang bang" a few loud sounds, even with headphones Jin Yang felt this huge sound, his hands couldn't stop trembling, looking at the target in front of him that was smashed, which is a pistol, the power is too great, right?
"Sir, this pistol is too powerful, it's best not to shoot two shots at the same time, otherwise your wrist will not be able to stand it, I just forgot to tell you, I didn't expect your physique to be so good, and it's okay to have such a big recoil. The clerk was amazed.
"I didn't expect it to be such an exaggeration, but fortunately it wasn't a big deal. Jin Yang said.
After trying the M500, Jin Yang tried to shoot a few rounds of each of the remaining guns. I felt the numbness of my wrist when I shot the bullet, and then looked at the eggshell I shot out in front of me, which was very fulfilling. It's just that he just learned to shoot, Jinyang's marksmanship is not very good, and in addition to the holes made by the shotgun, there are basically no targets on the target.
