Shi Yuanren went to the United States the next day, and as for what weapons to procure, because there were too many opinions, he could not make a decision for a while. The North Americans said that they would wait for their news before acting, and that it was not advisable to store weapons for too long anyway, and it would be too late to buy them a few months before departure.

For those on the Executive Committee, the current discussion is not satisfactory to everyone, and many people feel that they are stuck in their throats, and as for Weishenme, it is not clear. Several of the options don't seem to be to my liking. If you are discussing military weapons, although you have never played it, you still know a lot, and there are many people who can say a set. But the civilian version of the weapon is completely at a loss for the majority of urban otaku. If you want to talk about it, there is no theoretical basis, and it can even be said to be a smear.

Jiang Ye has been staring at the members of the Executive Committee every day, including Xi Yaya, lobbying around to sell his package of weapons: semi-automatic rifle + bolt-activated Mosin-Nagan rifle. However, the group of people in the sports group did not want to continue the revolutionary tradition at all. His activities among the masses did not receive much support either - the masses still liked weapons that could "strafe", and they didn't care whether they were automatic rifles or submachine guns, but they resolutely refused to do anything with bolt rifles -- this thing made people feel insecure.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, I received a call from Dr. Shi across the ocean, saying that there was another one in North America, and he would immediately return to China to talk about weapons with everyone. Speaking of this, he has more guns than Xiao Rui, and knows the civilian weapons market in North America well. It belongs to the Lord who has shot cannons on the earth and flies horses (wild horses) in the sky. The experience made everyone awe-inspired, and they didn't know which way it was a fairy. Most people think that it must be a muscular, five big and three thick MAN.

I didn't expect to take a look back at the base, but it was a young man, with a slight feeling of oily hair and powder. Everyone was a little disappointed, and more doubted whether Dr. Shi was reliable.

The comer claimed that his surname was Lin Shenhe, and he was a firearms enthusiast, thanks to the blessing of the decadent and backward American imperialists, and for many years in the United States, he had not only played countless famous nameless firearms, but also made his own machine gun and Napoleon's 12-pounder bronze cannon (of course, he participated in the manufacture). Listening to the drooling of a group of military fans around me. After listening to the executive committee's introduction to guns, he first laughed leisurely, making everyone baffled.

When Xiao Zishan saw his smile, he couldn't help but think of Zhuge Liang's laughter played by Tang Guoqiang on TV, but unfortunately there was no one on the side who said funny: "Why is the military advisor laughing?" ”

"You don't know anything about the civilian arms market in North America, do you?" Lin Shenhe didn't speak loudly, but his words were very clear, "The difference between civilian weapons and military weapons is actually very big, and the performance is even more dependent on the factory," he paused for a moment and continued to explain, "For example, the AR-15, everyone knows that it is the civilian version of the M-16, and they know that it cannot be fired in bursts, and it is a semi-automatic rifle." As a matter of fact, the US imperialists on the market of all kinds of large and small profiteers are very cunning in producing civilian goods, and they cannot be compared with the guys in the hands of American GIs. The barrel of the AR-15, the precision barrel of those competition types is another matter, even ordinary ones, there are many that don't even do chrome plating.

"Another example is the M-14 civilian version of the M1A recommended by Xi Asia, which is from the famous Springfield factory, and many people like it, in fact, its casing is precision casting, unlike the M14 of the military contract that was hammer forged. In contrast, the M-14 from our northern factory is a hammer forging casing, but the quality is not very good.

"It turns out that the Midi profiteers rely on the U.S. military to make money from advertising, and engage in fake and shoddy products to deceive the Midi toiling public?"

"It's not a deception, the civilian gun market in North America is huge, and people of all classes and incomes are in demand. This is not the same as a military order. Therefore, there are companies that simplify the process at a low price, and there are also companies that do high-priced boutiques. For example, the civilian version of the M14, LRBArms is a forged casing, which is much more expensive than that of the Springfield factory. Anyway, anyone with an income can find what they have in mind the best value for money. ”

After Lin Shenhe's introduction, everyone knew that the civilian guns in the United States are so complicated. I couldn't help but be in awe.

"And what about your opinion on weapon selection?"

"Well, it depends on what the Executive Committee needs for weapons. As for the choice of semi-automatic rifles, I agree with Team Leader Xi -- the environment we are facing is better to choose semi-automatic. There are 200 semi-automatic units that are enough to cope with any complex situation at the beginning. ”

"We don't have a problem with that. The question is what kind of semi-automatic to choose. ”

"If you want to compare haode cost performance, SKS is really good. The retail price is $400, and the M43 bomb in North America is also very cheap and suitable for large-scale installation. And this gun is well stocked, and it is easy to buy in large quantities. ”

"Didn't Xiao Rui say that Mosin-Nagan is only $80 a piece? You can buy 5 sticks for $400! "The bolt-activated rifle party still persists." And bullets are cheaper. ”

"Who among you has used Mosin-Nagan?" Lin Shenhe had an omniscient smile on his face, "Among the bolt-action rifles, Mosin-Nagan's bolt is the most difficult to open, and it is said that you have to carry it with your feet." And bolt-action rifles require a lot of practice to form combat effectiveness. ”

"Then there are other options...... Like Lee. ”

"It's not impossible. However, in my opinion, bolt-action rifles will be good as an equipment for indigenous troops in the future, and we traversers are still better equipped and more confident. ”

"I am still a weapon against the Warsaw Pact system." Xi Yaya continued to insist on his theory, "The life of the whole gun is too poor. ”

"Oh, not really, the Warsaw Pact's weapons are really bad. The key is where it's made. As far as I know: in the North American civilian gun market, the AK series produced by Russian IZMASH and other factories are all cold-hammer forged barrels and chrome-plated rifling, with a life of more than 80,000 rounds. The AR15 series uses a cold hammer to forge a barrel only HK416. The AK series produced by ArsenalL in Bulgaria has a barrel of more than 15,000 rounds, which is what I asked the American Arsenal agent to get before. ”

"Then let's buy AKs in large quantities! It can be changed automatically! "The AK guys are starting to swagger.

"I'm more in favor of Xi Yaya's idea, at least some semi-automatic rifles that use full-power bullets." Lin Shenhe praised again unhurriedly, "Considering the needs of the operation, Team Leader Xi's idea is quite comprehensive. It's not so much about the range, it's about the fact that the full-power projectile has some penetration into old-style houses, and it's also advantageous against enemies in the bushes. This ability is required to traverse dense vegetation areas. ”

……

After some brainwashing by Lin Shenhe, the executive committee, which was blinded by the light of eyes, finally chose a hybrid plan:

A small number of Russian-made AK semi-automatic rifles using 7.62mm NATO rounds: the Saiga-308 were used as a special weapon for military crews.

The SKS semi-automatic using the M43 bullet as a weapon to penetrate the militia - although the SKS is slightly flawed in terms of performance, it is better because the ammunition is very cheap, not as expensive as the 7.62mm NATO bullet, and the economy is also a consideration after all.

The SKS proposed by Lin Shenhe is SKS-D, and the advantage of this model is that it can use the AK magazine, that is, it is no longer limited to its own 10-round magazine limit. The duration of the fire has been greatly improved.

"As for the pistol, the M9 is purely a model, it is better to choose Glock, the price is cheap and sufficient, and the American police love it. The price is less than $50. ”

Lin Shenhe took advantage of the victory to pursue and changed the original Haode pistol of the Executive Committee to Glock. Although the M9 is very handsome, Glock is just as sassy, so it did not cause opposition. However, the proportion of procurement has decreased from the majority to the minority. Automatic pistols were only available to military professionals in small quantities, and most switched to S&W's revolvers. Revolvers are more suitable for inferior reloading bullets.

Then Lin Shenhe made a lot of suggestions: if you want to buy a large number of Russian-made 4x optical sights, if you want the rifle to play its long-range shooting function of more than 400 meters, the scope is indispensable. There are also a small number of high-magnification sniper sights that are used as snipers.

"In addition, we can purchase all kinds of light weapons in small quantities and in a variety of ways, as a blueprint for reverse imitation in the future, or at least as a reference material."

During this discussion, all of the sports team remained silent, except for Xi Ya. However, after the meeting, several people proposed to go to the shooting club to shoot a dozen M-14s and experience the role of full-power ammunition.

"Yes, you can arrange this." Wen Desi looked at Xiao Zishan, "If there is any 308, I will arrange for everyone in the sports group to play it to familiarize themselves with the feel." ”

How to get the money to the United States has become another problem. These 200 rifles alone cost 100,000 US dollars, and it is obviously not possible to go to the bank to exchange them, but fortunately, Wen Desi has recently opened a number of companies in order to cover the flow of funds, one of which has the right to import and export trade, so he sent a few kilograms of gold in a container in the form of exporting electronic products.

"Do you really trust that Doctor Shi, and Lin Shenhe?" Xiao Zishan once asked Wen Deji when he was walking on the playground.

"If you don't believe it, what can you do?" Mr. Wen asked him rhetorically, "We can only rely on them for our weapons, and there is no other way." ”

"That's right." Xiao Zishan was silent.

"To be honest, our entire action is based on mutual trust," Wen Desi took a deep breath, "If you and Wang Gong didn't trust me, how could you go through the wormhole with me?" How could these people come here if they didn't believe we had wormholes? Even those who left, if we didn't believe their promise of secrecy," his face turned cold, "we should ...... them"

Xiao Zishan shuddered: "Be cautious! ”

"Well," Mr. Wen nodded, "How is Xi Yaya?" There is no emotion. ”

"No, besides, his claims have not been completely overturned. It seems that he is still drinking with that Lin Shenhe, and several people have gone, and the atmosphere is quite warm. That Lin Shenhe has a lot of practical experience. It's also a talent. ”

"Well, what about the rest of the sports group, what do you think?"

"Think we're making a big fuss and doing too much." Xiao Zishan smiled bitterly, there are more and more family members under him, and from the chats of the family members, he can know what many people think, "In their opinion, it is good to have a gun, and everything else is nonsense." So they don't have a problem with what guns to use. ”

"That's good, everyone has to be emotionally stable. To put it mildly, it is good now, everything is good, I am afraid that after the past......" Mr. Wen's words are still unfinished.

"With a sharp weapon in your mind, you will kill yourself."

"Yes, especially since everyone has a gun ......"

"We need to have a way of managing guns and ammunition?"

"Yes, there must be. At least in the long run, there must be. ”

"But that's actually a detail on the Jishu side. If we want to think big, we still need to have a complete political system, in other words, we need to have a political program, a code of conduct, and so on. Xiao Zishan said.

"Well, so we should have a whole system,...... Constitution? ”
