After an appointment of one week and three days, Weiss returned to the military academy that night and slept soundly.

In the early morning, accompanied by the sound of the loud military horn, the students washed and dressed as quickly as possible, first physical exercise, basic skills drills, followed by breakfast, military theory courses, special skills courses, Chinese food, comprehensive technical and tactical drills, and then usually weight-bearing off-road or armed riding, there is no fixed course after dinner, the students will generally stay with their war horses for a while, feed and comb them, cultivate feelings, and can also strengthen a special subject by themselves.

It was not until the evening two days later in the evening that Vice President Fat sent a message saying that Colonel Bergway would come to inspect the gun the next day, and that Weiss had brought Weiss a fake note signed by the dean of instruction.

Since Colonel Bogwijn had said before that he had been working as a special training instructor at the Gaston Military Academy recently, he could go to him at any time after the sample gun was made, and the two-day wait was naturally not because he couldn't spare time. In this way, the two-day delay was intentional on the part of the fat vice president, and his motivation may not be as simple as perfecting the prototype gun and making sure everything is safe......

In any case, as the designer of the new gun, Weiss was the only one to show up at the gun inspection site. The 9mm caliber Orensian version of Mosin Nagant weighs nearly 11 pounds (5 kg) without sniper scopes, and more than 12 pounds (5.4 kg) with sniper scopes, which is more than 1 kg heavier than the original. After firing 20 rounds of ammunition, Colonel Borgwein happily disassembled the sample gun into parts, carefully observed each part, and then assembled it to challenge the 3,000-foot humanoid target at the indoor shooting range.

"Great! That's great! ”

Colonel Borgweyne, who was in his forties, danced with joy like a child who had received a new toy. He put down the sample gun, turned around and gave the fat vice president a big hug.

"This is the sniper rifle I want!" He made no secret of his emotions and thoughts, and his honest temperament was fully revealed.

"The person you should be most grateful for is not me, but the genius designer who created this rifle." Fat Vice President said.

"Hah, that's right!" The colonel turned around, put his hands on Weiss's shoulders, and looked at him with approval, "Yes, it's really good, you are still so young, you can design a super-first-class firearm, and the future is limitless!" ”

"It's not entirely my credit." Weiss said politely, "A lot of the design details come from the communication with everyone on a daily basis, and what I do is just collect those inspiring designs." ”

Colonel Borgwijne, apparently not paying attention to Weiss's words, walked quickly to the wooden table where the sample gun, accessories, and ammunition were placed, picked up a 9mm pointed bullet, looked at it for a long time, and asked, "How lethal is it at a distance of 3,000 feet?" ”

Without waiting for Weiss to speak, the fat vice president responded with a smile: "In order to verify your question on the spot, I specially asked people to prepare two tamed sheep and put five layers of spinning cloth on them. ”

Upon hearing this, the colonel was delighted: "Look! Sure enough, it's still your kid who is delicate! ”

At the behest of the fat vice president, the range staff quickly brought two tamed sheep wrapped in khaki cloth and tied them to the stakes opposite.

Through the range's dedicated high-powered telescope, Weiss can see clearly from 900 meters away. This tamed sheep is a sheep rather than a sheep, a pig rather than a pig, and has long been one of the main sources of food for the Oslen people because of its docile character, simple rearing and strong fecundity.

The murderous sniper ace on the battlefield naturally has no mercy in the face of two low-IQ animals, he fired all five bullets in the magazine at a steady rhythm to one of them, paused slightly, and then loaded the five bullets into the magazine one by one with a skillful attitude.

At this time, the fat vice president said: "That tamed sheep kept moving after being injured, so your hit rate has decreased slightly, but it is enough to kill it." ”

Colonel Bogwijin bowed slightly, and the next first shot gave the injured tamed sheep a headshot, which directly ended its pain.

"Fatal blow!" The fat vice president said softly.

Further back, Colonel Borgwein slowed down slightly and selectively fired four shots at the second tamed sheep.

There was no need for the colonel to speak, and the fat vice president ordered his subordinates to bring the two tamed sheep. The one who had been shot in the head was dead, the other had been shot three times, and he had bled a lot, but he would not die for a while, his body trembling like chaff, and he looked at the creatures standing at the top of the food chain with horror.

Colonel Bogwein not only carefully examined the wounds on the two tamed sheep, but also asked the staff to dig out the warhead from the dead tamed sheep and carefully compare it in his hand.

At the end, he finally showed a satisfied look: "This is indeed the effect I want!" ”

The fat vice president looked happy, but Weiss complained in his heart: Don't put a first-class design semi-automatic rifle, you have to play back to the bolt rifle, this is really "you are happy"!

"Get everything ready!" The colonel said to the fat vice president in a commanding tone, "I will present it to the technical committee tomorrow in the form of an independent review!" ”

"Good, good!" The fat vice president replied repeatedly, "I can prepare it tonight, and I will personally send it to you early tomorrow morning." ”

The colonel let out an "um", and his attention was already back to the sniper rifle in his hand. Compared with the Grumman M3.2S sniper rifle in service with the Ulster Free Federal Army, it is like a magic wand, with both a simple and bright appearance and a light and easy-to-use shape.

After studying it for a while, the colonel turned his head and asked Weiss, "Mr. Long Clumber Haysen, what is the design life of the barrel of this gun?" Approximately, how much will the mass production of the gun cost? ”

This is the first time that the other party has called out his full name, and he has used the honorific title of "sir", which shows that he has been conquered by this gun.

Weistein replied calmly: "According to our repeated verification, the smaller the caliber of a firearm of the same material, the less wear of the bullet on the barrel, and the longer the barrel life. We have already fired 200 rounds of ammunition for this sample gun in your hand, and the shooting accuracy is still the same as at the beginning, and it is expected that its normal life should be more than 2,000 rounds. As for the cost of mass production of the gun, we also estimated that it should be able to be controlled within 300 crowns. ”

"300 crowns?" Colonel Borgweyne looked at Weiss in surprise, and then cast an inquiring glance at the fat vice president.

Vice President Fat explained unhurriedly: "The 300 crowns mentioned by Long is the pure production cost excluding patent fees. If you take into account the various expenses and the profits required for the operation of the enterprise, the price offered to the military is expected to be around 800 to 900 crowns, while the price of bullets and spare parts is at least 20% cheaper than the Grumman M3.2S in service. If the military allows us to export them, the price will be at least 1,200 crowns, and the ammunition and spare parts will be increased by 40% on the basis of the military supply. ”

Colonel Borgwein shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "The high profits of the military-industrial complex are really worthy of their reputation!" ”

"Among all military products, the profit of firearms can be said to be the lowest." Vice President Fat said, "There is a saying in the industry, called a gun is not as good as a gun, a gun is not as good as a ship, and a ship is not as good as a stone, that is to say, the most profitable is actually the industry of refining Xingyuan stone, and the profit margin is so high that people can't believe it." ”

The colonel patted his proud protégé on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm a soldier, not a businessman, and the people in the arms procurement department are responsible for negotiating prices, so I don't have to worry about that leisure." As long as the price of this sniper rifle is suitable for mass equipment, maintenance is not too cumbersome, and the durability is high enough, I can pass the test here. ”

Seeing the two of them looking at him at the same time, Weiss said confidently: "There is absolutely no problem!" ”
