Chapter 22: The Wisdom of Gun Fans
got up early in the morning and sent Liu Chao and Zhao Nan to the airport, while Ju An went to the gun shop to practice guns. I was running out of ammunition in stock, and I was preparing to stock up on some ammunition for my pistol.
As soon as he entered the door, Tommy, the young man who sold the gun to Juan for the first time, greeted him with a smile: "Hey! Ann, good morning".
"Good morning, Mike" Juan shook the UPS45 in the holster: "Prepare two hundred rounds of ammunition for me, I'll go play in the back for a while, and give me two hundred rounds to take away."
Tommy nodded and said, "No problem."
While Tommy was going to prepare the bullets, Ju An casually looked at it, a shiny revolver on the counter attracted Ju An's attention, the barrel was much thicker than the ordinary revolver, and it was a lot longer, it looked very powerful, stared at it for a while, and then Tommy came with four small boxes in his hands.
Seeing Ju An staring at the gun on the counter, he said: "Ann, if you don't try Colt's eye king snake, it looks very good, the key is that the revolver will not jam."
Juan nodded, and Tommy took the gun out of the counter, took it in his hand and tried it, and then turned back to Tommy and said, "I'm getting a hundred rounds for me, I'll try this guy."
After speaking, when I looked up and saw the M4 carbine hanging on the wall, I couldn't help but think of the time when I used to play CS all night in college, and said to Tommy, I'm giving me two magazines.
Entering the shooting range, Tommy put the small basket containing bullets on the countertop of the compartment, which is the small boxy plastic basket that Ju An ate when he was in China, Malatang, which allows you to choose dishes, and walked out. Leaving Juan alone on targeting.
I played with my gun and the revolver, today's results are still good, Ju An is very satisfied, I changed the target paper twice in the middle, and there is basically nothing off the target at a distance of 20 meters.
Newly put on the target paper, pick up the M4, load the magazine, aim at the target, pull the trigger, bang a gunshot, the visual inspection is not bad, but Ju An feels that it is not enjoyable, this thing pulls the trigger and fires, the whole thing is with a handjob, a feeling. Playing with a magazine, Ju An was a little less interested. ‘
Why? It's not fun, Ju An still thinks in his heart that he has to hug a shuttle to be refreshing, so it really makes Ju An feel a little painful.
At this time, Tommy walked over, saw that Ju An looked at the M4 in his hand with some depression and asked, "What's wrong?" Ann, isn't there something wrong with the gun".
Juan asked, "Why can't it be fired in bursts?"
Tommy explained with a smile: "Federal law states that fully automatic weapons manufactured after 1986 are not allowed to be purchased by the private sector, while guns that were manufactured before 1986 and have a legal automatic weapons license are free to transfer. Automatic weapons are generally not so easy to buy on the market with special licenses, and even if they are very expensive, the legal definition of automatic weapons is: any weapon, whether originally designed or modified, as long as it achieves a continuous effect without manual action under the pull of the trigger, it is an automatic weapon".
Then Tommy smiled and said: "Although the law is so stipulated, but the law is made by people, there will naturally be loopholes, and many gun fans have taken advantage of the loopholes in the law, let me show you."
After speaking, I saw Tommy take the M4 from Ju'an's hand, hold the front of the gun with his left hand, gently press the trigger with a finger of his right hand, and do not move his right hand, leaning forward on his left hand to push and pull the trigger, and then maintain this position, leaning on the recoil of the gun, and then remembering with a continuous click.
Damn, Ju An secretly scolded in his heart, it's too good.
"Isn't this illegal?" asked Ju An.
Tommy smiled: "Note that the law does not define automatic weapons, that is, pull the trigger once and then do not go through human hands, here your left hand is moving, so in the legal definition you are not violating it at all, it is legal."
Tommy demonstrated it to Ju An, who also tried to hug a shuttle, feeling a lot slower than Tommy. It's easy to say, but it's harder to do.
Tommy continued, "Wait a minute, I'll get you a butt and you can shoot in bursts."
Juan stood and waited for less than a minute, and Tommy returned, loaded the gun with a special butt, and handed it to Juan: "This is a single shot, this is a burst shot, you can try it".
Ju An took the gun, and the butt that was added was like adding a spring, which could be retracted, Ju An pulled the trigger, and with a click, a shuttle bullet went out in an instant.
"Is it legal to play like this?" Juan looked at Tommy in surprise and said.
Tommy shrugged his shoulders: "It's perfectly legal, I'm not going to explain the law to you."
This is exactly the Heifer taking the big ding, the cow that soars to the sky, "So how much does it cost to add this butt?" asked Ju An.
"Two hundred and sixty dollars on the butt," Tommy said.
"Give me two magazines," Juan said.
Tommy looked at Juan and said, "Let's get you a drum with two hundred and sixty rounds, so that you can enjoy it more."
"Alright then," Juan nodded.
Enthusiastically swept a big drum, the handle was broken, this time the accuracy is much worse, there is no way to sweep it up more enjoyable.
It's almost time to play, bring the gun to the counter, let Tom, calculate the price, Ju An is ready to buy these two guns, and in addition to equipping the M4 with two drum bullets, you can find a place in the ranch to make a small shooting range in the future, and it is more convenient to hold it yourself.
More than 3,000 US dollars, changed a few large and small boxes, and with Tommy's help, they were all thrown into the car.
By the time they got back to the ranch, it was already noon, and Thomas had finished their meals and went on with their business.
Lifted a few guys out of the car and put the M4 into the tin cabinet at the door, which was the tin cabinet in the space, and there was also the Remington rifle I bought for the first time in the cabinet.
Then go upstairs and put the revolver and bullets in your own bedside table, and the other bedside table has your own UPS45.
I got some scrambled eggs with tomatoes and made lunch with bread.
After looking for a lot of money in the storeroom, I found a half-man tall iron sheet, and then found a few thick wooden strips, and when I was about to order the wooden strips to the iron sheet, Thomas walked in.
Watching Ju An staple a wooden strip to the iron sheet and said, "An, what are you doing?" ”。
Ju An said: "I'm nailing a simple target, and I'm going to find a place in the ranch to make a shooting range, so I don't have to go to the shooting range in the town to practice in the future, and I can play directly at home, how good."
"Oh, that's good, let's play two in our free time," said Thomas, who came over to help Ju'an stabilize the stick.
"I didn't see you with a gun," Juan said, looking at Thomas.
Thomas smiled and said: "I brought two guns, a shotgun, and a revolver, you didn't pay attention, they were all in my house, Wynne also brought a revolver, and Nancy seems to have brought a pistol, the last time I went to see my boyfriend, I saw her put in the car."
Ju An nodded, no wonder Lao Mei's shooting case is high, there are only four people in his ranch, and there are actually seven guns.
With Thomas's help, the improvised target was soon ready, and old Thomas drew a few circles on it with spray paint, although it was not very round, but the meaning was met.
"I do know that there is a nice place at the foot of the hill over there, not far from where we live, and it's five minutes quicker to get there.
"Okay, let's go over and see," Ju An agreed.
Thomas followed suit and said, "Then let's prepare the horses first, and then get the guns."
The two men prepared their horses, each took his own gun, let Snowflake carry the big brand, Juan took his own revolver and his own rifle, and old Thomas only brought his own shotgun.
The two of them arrived at the place Thomas said after a while, the hilly area at the foot of the giant house, on both sides are two small slopes, the front is the foot of the mountain, and there is a small valley in the middle, the grass around is very low, the line of sight is also good, and the front is not far from a huge maple forest, each tree has to be hugged by two people.
Ju An was very satisfied with this, put the target at the foot of the mountain, took out the shovel he was carrying, dug a hole, inserted the target in it and filled it with soil, and the simple shooting range was completed.
Juan motioned for Thomas to come first, and Thomas did not refuse, took the shotgun from Jefferson's back, skillfully loaded the bullet, took aim, then pulled the trigger, and then retracted, loaded, aimed, and fired a dozen or so rounds in a row, all of which were near the black dot drawn.
Thomas then motioned for Juan to play.
Ju An took aim on the bullet, bang, rebounded, aimed, bang, and hit a dozen rounds, but the results were not as good as Thomas, only three ways were played in the first lap, and the rest were between the second and third laps.
Thomas asked, "Don't you like to shoot targets, but you can't do it?"
Ju An replied: "I just came here to shoot at the shooting range once, and I used to shoot five bullets during military training in college."
"Isn't there a shooting range in China?" Thomas wondered.
"I haven't been there, and I don't know if there's a shooting range," Ju An waved his hand.
"I know China is a gun ban, I just wonder how Chinese can protect themselves when they are in danger," Thomas said.
"I've heard that some lawmakers are proposing a gun ban, but the big arms dealers don't agree," said Ju An, who did not want to talk about it.
Thomas looked at Juan with a surprised face: "It is some lawmakers who propose to ban guns, it is not that the big arms dealers do not agree, it is the citizens of the United States who do not agree, people can kill, how can guns kill, it is the right of citizens to keep guns, to ensure that citizens have the right to supervise the political axe, to prevent the political axe from acting recklessly is true, Washington, D.C. has strictly banned it for a period of time, but the crime rate has risen, and the ban on guns only makes good people lose their right to protect themselves, because bad people will always get guns from other ways, It's not fair to good people."
Ju An listened to a lot of it, and it really made sense when he thought about it.
Then the two of them continued to play for a while, consuming one hundred and eight rounds of ammunition before going back.
