Chapter 066: The Gun Wants to Play Like This
Alex looked at the other party expressionlessly, thinking that he would leave quickly, he was not interested in teaching foreigners or tourists from rival countries. 911 is an example, pilots are trained in the United States, hell...... Perhaps one of them is plotting a conspiracy.
Frank didn't know any of this, he didn't care, he had a good temper and was not interested in basic training, and after testing Alex's professional skills, he was satisfied. Then he said to Alex, "If you can help me, fifty dollars an hour of training will be your reward." ”
Alex's eyes lit up, fifty dollars? It's not too bad.
Then Frank's plan was introduced, and for Shi Hu and several people, a set of courses that combined teaching and experience - luxury courses. Shi Hu is a rich man and doesn't care if he has 10,000 more or 10,000 less, and Frank also thinks that he is mostly here for the freshness and firearm shooting experience......
Under the sun, Alex demonstrated.
"Practical rapid-fire." Alex stood in front, "legs shoulder-width apart, leaning forward slightly, touching the gun with his right hand, placing his left hand in front of his abdomen, pulling out the gun with his right hand and straightening his arm, and connecting his left hand at the same time, forming a standard Wivol position, aiming and firing!" ”
Alex was very professional, it only took a second from drawing the gun to aiming and firing, and the twenty-five-meter target fell in response, dazzled, and none of them missed.
Alex only lectured, without mixing personal feelings: "It is characterized by being fast, accurate, and stable, and is mostly used in unexpected situations such as cities and street battles. ”
"Next," Alex said to them, showing his finger pulling the trigger, "Trigger control." Let's get the feel of trigger reset first......"
Putting aside personal preferences, Alex is also conscientious, from the use of various firearms, to team tactics, to shooting actions in abnormal postures in unexpected situations, and also forming a small group of four people to conduct CQB (indoor close-quarters combat) training.
A few days later, Shi Hu boarded a retired military helicopter to experience the thrill of being a machine gun shooter. The helicopter was a Bell 205 on loan from the flying club, with Shi Hu on the landing gear and an M249 light machine gun, firing at the ground on the hovering plane.
The safety course doesn't need such fierce firepower, but Shi Hu likes excitement.
Alex taught him that Shi Hu remembered that he mainly relied on tracer bullets to correct the trajectory and used powerful firepower to hit ground targets so that they could not raise their heads -- the US military's operational thinking. It is characterized by a shocking effect, but the consumption is also terrifying, with an average of tens of thousands of rounds to eliminate an enemy.
It's a pity that they can't get more powerful guns, such as the U.S. military's M134 six-barrel machine gun, which is mounted on the side of the helicopter and swept wildly on the ground...... But the club doesn't run the program, they're practical, geared towards veterans. And Shi Hu is an experiential party and an effect party, and he doesn't mind being wonderful if he is rich.
The machine gun is so cool, Shi Hu especially wants to play the more ferocious M134, but this weapon cannot be bought personally.
After getting off the plane, Shi Hu asked James, the owner of the gun shop, with interest, and he popularized some of the laws on gun ownership in Americans, especially in Nevada, although the management of automatic weapons is not too harsh, but like most parts of the United States, the control of machine guns is very strict.
Shi Hu didn't give up: "There is no trick? ”
James smiled: "Of course there is, this is the United States of freedom and miracles, and the guns that are not available after the ban are introduced, but the previous ones are not under the control of the Federation." For example, those antique machine guns, MG34, MG42 and the like, as well as a certain batch of machine guns before the ban. ”
Shi Hu figured out that although guns are open, not all weapons can be privately held, such as automatic weapons, such as machine guns, if you have this kind of firearms in your collection, they often represent ability and value, which is the envy of gun lovers...... Shi Hu is also quite envious of those guys with machine guns.
He doesn't have much fun collecting antiques, he just wants to have a good time, but it takes energy and expense...... Looking at James again, the guy shrugged: "There is only a limit to what private individuals can do, unless you run a gun shop and have enough qualifications to deal in automatic weapons, then just play." ”
"Running a gun shop?" Shi Hu felt suddenly enlightened.
Shi Hu visited a large gun shop in Las Vegas, where there were automatic weapons, machine guns, and even M2HB, a heavy machine gun. The law only stipulates that private ownership is not allowed, but gun shops are not covered.
Shi Hu imagined that if he was the operator and the gun shop belonged to him, what restrictions would there be on him? You can play at any time, you can touch it at any time, you can't take it home, anyway, the gun shop is already his industry, it doesn't matter. What's more, there is also a special person to maintain, saving time and trouble.
The question then comes back to the money.
For a pleasant play, money is nothing. Shi Hu asked James: "I heard that your club has some financial problems recently?" ”
James understood: "Are you thinking? ”
Shi Hu nodded: "I'm interested in your club." ”
The Clippers have been desperate for financial assistance lately, but James still has questions: "Do you want me to hand over all the management rights to you?" ”
Shi Hu shook his head: "No, no, I don't worry about business affairs." Let's just give you some investment to keep the club running. ”
Only responsible for investment and not meddling, James likes this kind of cooperation, but there is no free lunch in the world, he asked: "What do you want?" ”
Shi Hu smiled: "I don't ask for much, I like to collect those rare toys." ”
"It's not a big deal, the gun shop can buy the weapon you want if you want." James also showed his strength.
Shi Hu doesn't believe it, I want to buy Stinger missiles? But he didn't show the lower limit: "I'm glad we reached an agreement, then the next question is funding." ”
……
If you buy a gun in your own name, you can buy a lot of guns, and you can build an arsenal at home. But waste aside, maintenance is still very troublesome, and the storage of bullets also occupies an ...... If you own a gun shop, you can play whatever you want, put it back when you have played enough, and maintain it by a special person.
No matter how much private people buy, can they compare to the reserves of gun shops?
In terms of the pleasure of playing, it can't compare to the professionalism of the club, right?
Shi Hu found that he played this trick beautifully, in the past, those guys who showed off their wealth on the Internet showed off their guns, and the room was full of drooling and weak! He directly bought a gun shop and club, and the United States ** fire company is the supplier, which means that as long as there is money, the collection will be endless!
Now all that remains is the question of value.
Erica, who is an assistant, conducts an investigation.
She collates the data: "If you don't think about profitability, it mainly depends on the level of its operating license, which level of FFL (Federal Firearms License) it has, and some low-level licenses can't operate businesses related to automatic weapons; It also looks at its relationships, such as the 'American Rifle Association', which has the most influence in the industry, which unites almost all the pro-gun factions and the military industry in the United States......"
Shi Hu understood, it is said that the license level of the fast gunner is quite high - this is a good thing for him, it means that he can engage in a wider range of weapons business, those guns that cannot be purchased and possessed by private individuals are useless to him from now on, and he can't touch what the gun shop can have?
Erica is in charge of the investment, and Shi Hu intends to let her practice more.
Exposure to various occasions and accumulation of experience will work when she reaches a high position in the future.
In fact, Erica was more brilliant and professional than he expected, raising $2 million to acquire a 70% stake in the club, plus the need to expand the training ground and upgrade a batch of training equipment...... All aspects are from the perspective of a military fan's pleasure.
This is hardly a problem for James, and Shi Hu is simply a relief in the snow.
Therefore, the cooperation between the two was pleasant, and the negotiation time was less than an hour, mainly to listen to the assistant explain the conditions of each cooperation, as rigorous as a lawyer. Another day passed, and both sides had no doubts, and the contract was signed, and the "Fast Gunners" club outside the city changed hands.
