Of the thirteen new bodyguards, Link all stayed. However, he also made it clear that they would have a three-month probationary period. As a result, Link hired a total of seventeen personal bodyguards.

The work of these bodyguards was arranged, and Link appointed Benjamin as the captain and team leader, and Warren, Mike, and Douglas as the team leader. Mike's team consists of six, including himself. The other three groups all had only four. Under Link's arrangement, Mike's team may have to go out in the field in the future. For example, investigating and collecting intelligence. The bodyguards of the other three teams would work 24 hours a day in three shifts to keep him safe. Of course, they are now responsible for the safety of their farms. Being a bodyguard can't be so easy.

On this day, Link took Benjamin's group of bodyguards to a large gun shop in Las Vegas. This gun shop is like a small supermarket, with a dozen or twenty shelves in the middle of the store, and the shelves are full of guns, both long and short.

Benjamin has already helped the new bodyguards get gun licenses. Link is also qualified to buy a gun, and he needs to buy a gun before he can apply for a gun license. According to the new regulations, the gun license in the United States will indicate the model and number of the gun, and there will even be a photo of the pistol. To buy a gun, you must first be approved by a psychiatrist and go through some necessary tests to be qualified. After buying a gun, you can only get a gun license after registering with the gun.

Of course, the qualification to buy a gun is actually very easy to get. After all, Americans used to be able to buy guns at will, but the procedures required for a gun license were more troublesome. But now there is such a regulation, which can be regarded as a fig leaf. That's still a fig leaf that the military-industrial complex is too lazy to tear off. Anyway, as long as you have bought a gun before, and you have not committed any crime because of the firearm you purchased within three years, you can directly get a gun purchase permit without any formalities. And those who are new to buying guns, as long as the psychiatrist says yes. In fact, the vast majority of people can still buy guns at will.

Link's bodyguards' guns were all made of Israeli imitation double-row magazines M1911. It was a large-caliber pistol, and it was more powerful. The reload was doubled, and the handle was of course a little fatter. But for a seal-turned-bodyguard, that pistol is more suitable.

Link, on the other hand, is yellow and doesn't have that big hands, and that fat pistol isn't the best for him. So Benjamin suggested that he buy a Beretta M92F.

The owner of the gun shop came out with a silver pistol from behind the counter and said, "Mr. Hans, I solemnly recommend this pistol to you. This is a limited edition M92F, and there are only five of them in the world. It has a 15mm longer barrel than the regular version, and the body uses titanium alloy. As we all know, the M92F is known for its precise design and safety, and this extended pistol has an increased barrel length and is more powerful. But because of the use of titanium alloy as the gun body, its weight has been reduced. Of course, because of its great power, the recoil is also a little higher than that of the standard type. However, it is suitable for self-defense with normal bullets, and it is also suitable for hunting with special hunting bullets. ”

Link took the pistol and opened the safety, pulled the trigger, and the firing pin hit the air with a crisp sound. He nodded and said, "How much does this gun cost?"

"This is a limited collector's edition. The price is slightly more expensive. The owner of the gun shop didn't even look at the price sign hanging on the grab, and said the price as soon as he opened his mouth. "This gun costs eight thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars. ”

This price is indeed relatively high. Generally speaking, pistols for self-defense range from five hundred to seven hundred dollars, and a few models reach a thousand dollars. But very rarely it will exceed $1,200.

Before coming, he consulted Benjamin, and Benjamin meant that the M92F was the best fit for him. Benjamin is talking about the standard version, though. But Link loves the limited edition right now. He felt that he should be able to overcome that recoil. He didn't plan to ask Benjamin for any more advice, but tried to hold it himself to see if he could take advantage of it.

The owner of the gun shop saw his appearance and knew that he was interested in this gun, so he continued to sell: "This gun has a silver frosted surface on the outside, the handle is inlaid with carbon fiber sheets, and the magazine is made of high-strength carbon fiber, which reduces a lot of weight." The barrel of this pistol is made of German cold-forged barrels, and the firing life of standard bullets is more than 9,000 rounds, and the special bullets are more than 5,000 rounds. It can optionally use the standard 9*19mm round-nosed pistol cartridge. Special shells with a high-explosive charge can also be used. ”

Link was also satisfied when he heard it, but no matter how good the gun is, it must be easy to use. He didn't buy guns to collect.

He looked up and asked the owner of the gun shop, "Can you try the gun?"

The owner of the gun shop hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course, you can, but you can only test fire a maximum of seven bullets." You know, this is a limited edition pistol. ”

Link nodded in understanding his difficulty: "Then try firing seven rounds, but do you have a spare barrel here?" ”

"Nope. But I can order if you need it. ”

Link nodded again and said, "Then take me to the test launch." ”

He fired three shots at Benjamin's instructions at the gun shop's indoor test range and put the gun down. Although he injured his left arm, he also had a wound on his right back, and the wound has not yet healed. After three shots, he felt some unusual pain in the wound on his back. He was worried that if he continued to fight, the muscles in his back would be too tight and the wound would burst.

But these three shots are about the same. He was able to control the recoil of the pistol with the strength of one hand, and it was quite comfortable to hold in his hands.

He came to the counter again, put the gun down and said, "I want to see the parts inside the gun." ”

"Of course. Hearing Link say this, the gun shop owner knew he really wanted to buy the gun. The speed at which he dismantled the gun was not fast, but it looked very smooth, and there was no stumbling in his movements. He even got the bullets out of the magazine, and then showed every part at once. "Every part is new. You can rest assured. Nothing is more important than credibility in our business. ”

Seeing Link nodding, he reassembled the pistol, and finally pulled the safety and fired the empty gun before putting the gun on the counter.

Link then said, "I bought this gun." Plus, I want five barrels. When will it arrive?"

The owner of the gun shop smiled and put the pistol in a special wooden box and said: "The barrel needs to be customized from Germany, and it will take about half a month." Two thousand three hundred dollars per barrel are required. ”

"Good. I'll leave my phone number and you'll call me when the goods arrive. ”

"No problem, but you'll need to pay a $5,000 deposit. ”

Link nodded and said, "OK." Can I swipe my card?"

"Absolutely. But do you want to buy some bullets? This pistol is suitable for bullets such as hollow-tipped bullets and round-tipped bullets, as well as special copper-clad steel-tipped bullets. ”

He didn't mention it, Link really forgot to buy a gun and a bullet for a while. He glanced at Benjamin to hear his opinion.

Benjamin whispered to him: "The front end of the target will be turned out under pressure, and the damage to soft targets is greater, but the toughness is poor. The round-headed bullet is more penetrating. As for the pointed bullets, I haven't seen them and I don't know. ”

The owner of the gun shop also vaguely heard his words, so he took three different pistols and ejected them, opened one box first, and said, "This is an empty tip bullet." A box of 20 boxes, a total of 1,000 rounds, the price is 235 yuan. "It turns out that the tip of the bullet is dented at the tip of the warhead. It is said to be filled with lead. This bullet is usually used by civilian firearms.

The owner of the gun shop opened another box and said, "This is a round-headed bullet." Again, 1,000 rounds per box, two hundred and forty dollars. ”

The round-headed bullet is actually one of the standard pistol bullet systems.

The last one is the steel-clad pointed bullet, the warhead is indeed pointed, but the pointed profile angle is relatively large. Then, the weight of the warhead will decrease, and the muzzle velocity of the bullet will of course increase. The kinetic energy also increased a bit. And the steel is a bit harder, and the penetration ability is quite strong.

I only heard the owner of the gun shop say: "This bullet can gain an initial velocity of more than 480 meters per second in a pistol." The effective range is more than 130 meters, and after entering a soft target, the warhead is easy to roll backwards, and the damage to the soft target in the effective range is no less than that of a .45 pistol bullet. Combined with this pistol, it is ideal for hunting. There were only ten boxes of 500 rounds in a box of these bullets, and they cost $428. ”

Link listened to him and said, "Two boxes for each of the three bullets." ”

The owner of the gun shop asked for his ID card and registered his information. Because each gun has a special grab number. Who bought which gun, this information can avoid the gun crime that is sold and the gun shop will cause unnecessary trouble.

Although the United States does not ban guns, it also has control over guns. Otherwise, there are so many guns, and it will be difficult to find out who committed the crime in the event of a shooting. Therefore, guns bought from legal channels are usually subject to personal information registration. In the future, if this gun is committed, it will be easy to find the suspect.

They took the gun to get a real gun license, and at this point Link was considered a legal gun owner.

He was also successful in martial arts before, and if he faced someone with a cold weapon, he was not afraid of ten of them. But the last killer's shooting made him understand that no matter how good he was, he would have to be knocked down by a shot. No matter how strong he is, he can't avoid the bullets.

Now that he has a gun in his hand, as long as he uses it well, his self-defense ability is also stronger.

As for whether he can practice marksmanship well, he is really not worried at all. More than a dozen bodyguards are all masters of guns, and he himself has strong control over his body and reaction speed. He believed that as long as he touched the doorway, he wanted to be a sharpshooter, and he was more than enough.

Therefore, he bought so many bullets just to practice his marksmanship.

However, he will have to wait a while before he can start practicing shooting. After three test shots at the gun shop, he felt as if blood was oozing from the stitched seal on his back again. The recoil of that collector's edition pistol is not small, and if you shoot for a long time, his wounds may re-split a little bit.

After doing everything that needed to be done, they went back to the farm again. For him, the farm is the safest place. Not only because there were seventeen bodyguards there, but also because it was his turf, and it would be more difficult for the killers to get close to him.
