Chapter 587: Private Weapons and Equipment Collector
After firing a few magazines, Han Li finally stopped. First, I wiped my hands with the smell of gunpowder with the wet towel prepared by the staff on the side, and then went to the rest area at the back to rest.
After taking a sip of the ice cola that had just been served, Han Li couldn't help but take out the phone, only to see that there were three or four missed calls inside, all of which were made by Qi Ran.
Han Li immediately dialed back, and after a ring, Qi Ran's slightly anxious voice came from the phone.
"Hey, where are you, why don't you answer the phone?"
Seeing this, Han Li hurriedly replied with a smile: "Well, I'm playing outside." ”
Hearing Han Li's words, Qi Ran's tone slowed down: "Why don't you say anything when you're playing outside, let me be in a hurry." And why didn't you answer your call, wait, why are you getting gunshots? ”
Han Li smiled: "I'm in a shooting club here in Silicon Valley, and I'm playing just now, so I didn't pay attention for a while."
Are you done with that? ”
Qi Ran was a little angry and said: "I know, why did you accompany me to Lao Mei so enthusiastically, it turned out that you came to play with guns."
I mean, I haven't been gone long before you're running to a shooting club. ”
Hearing Qi Ran's jealous tone, Han Li smiled, then looked at Ah Yong, who was resting at the rest stop in the distance, and then said, "Hey, hey, you should find a good partner if you are jealous." It's not good to be jealous with anyone, but you have to eat gun vinegar, it's really unique. ”
"Phew, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Qi Ran snorted softly, but then Han Li heard the laughter on the phone.
Han Li shook his head and smiled: "What's the matter, are you done, I'll pick you up." ”
Qi Ran replied, "No, I still have to listen to a report here, Professor Mitchelson from our business school. He is very famous in the world, and this time he is to give us and some new undergraduate business school students a lecture on the current state of the economy, which is very rare.
So I may have to be late to get back to the hotel, if you're hungry, eat first, don't wait for me. ”
Han Li nodded and said, "Okay, I know." ”
"Well, you should be safe by yourself, go back to the hotel early, and don't wander the streets outside alone. According to Jessie, there was a robbery with a gun a few days ago, and it has not been solved yet. Qi Ran couldn't help but instruct him again.
"It's okay, I'll take a taxi back to the hotel in a while, and I won't wander around outside, it's time to do it now." Han Li said helplessly with a smile.
Although Qi Ran was concerned about him, such a nuanced care would also make him a little helpless. Yes, he is no longer alone, so he needs to think more carefully when doing a lot of things, which makes him somewhat restrained.
It's like a siege, some people who are hungry for romance, who are eager for lovers who want to rush in. And some of those who enjoy their romance in the besieged city want to go out, longing for freedom.
Han Li is not tired of his relationship, and he is not dissatisfied with Qi Ran, but he misses the feeling of freedom when he was single, and he is finally not satisfied.
"Humph!"
With a coquettish snort, Qi Ran hung up the phone.
As for Han Li, he shook his head and accepted the phone, took a sip of Coke and turned around and came back to the gun window.
Ah Yong, who was resting at the rest stop, saw Han Li standing in front of the gun tunnel window again, so he quickly walked over.
After Han Li filled the magazine, he immediately inserted the magazine into the gun, pulled the bolt to load, and then aimed at the target and fired.
Dada, dada, dada......
He was a little rusty with automatic rapid point shooting before, but now he has adapted to this way of shooting. Although the accuracy needs to be improved, it is no longer the first kind of heavenly maiden scattered flowers.
After firing two or three magazines, looking at the magazines handed over by Ah Yong, Han Li shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's play here today." ”
Ah Yong nodded, then took the gun from Han Li's hand and began to check and pack it up.
And Han Li stood next to him and looked at Ah Yong who was cleaning up and said: "Do you only have these guns, I heard that some old American shooting ranges also have machine guns such as Makqin, Gatling, G42, etc., and even small-caliber artillery." ”
Ah Yong smiled when he heard this: "Hey, Han, what you are talking about is that kind of outdoor large shooting range. We're just an indoor shooting club in the middle of the city, and it's completely different from that.
And the kind of large outdoor shooting ranges you mentioned are generally not formal shooting clubs, but some licensed private collectors.
There are quite a number of private weapons and equipment collectors in the United States, some of whom specialize in collecting firearms, some of whom specialize in collecting artillery, some of whom like to collect tanks and armored vehicles, and some of whom are even keen on collecting fighter jets and ships.
These people have different collections, so they gather in different circles, and if you're not the same collector, it's hard to fit in.
Of course, it's not completely out of the question. If you want to go, you can go to a special forum to find out about their activities or exhibitions. Just by going to the exhibition, you can get up close and personal with these collections and their collectors.
If you're lucky and they're happy, they'll invite you to board a tank or plane and experience it for yourself.
Of course, there's another situation where you can also come into contact with these things.
Many collectors don't really have a lot of money, and they just collect these weapons and equipment as a hobby. But for real economic reasons, it is not possible to meet their needs.
So they'll start their own shooting ranges or experience shops to let you experience the equipment exclusively. Of course, they will also charge some fees. ”
Han Li nodded when he heard this, and his face showed a look of regret. There is no way, tomorrow he will return home. The crew has already started filming in the desert, and Han Li has to rush back.
Although director Tong Yongjun is there, after all, it is the first outdoor shooting, and he, the screenwriter and producer, still has to be present. What's more, in fact, Han Li's work content is far more than these, many of the shooting content is actually completed by him and Tong Yongjun, and even Tong Yongjun shoots more often according to his intentions.
Seeing Han Li's regretful expression, Ah Yong smiled and comforted: "Han, you don't have to be depressed, there are so many such private weapons and equipment collectors in Los Angeles.
I can connect you with one of them if you need it. He is also a weapons collector and currently runs an outdoor shooting range in the suburbs of Los Angeles. In addition to all kinds of automatic rifles and machine guns, there are some other interesting experiences that I think you will enjoy. ”
Han Li shook his head after hearing Ah Yong's words and said, "Unfortunately, my schedule is relatively tight, and I will return to China tomorrow." ”
"Oh, that's a shame." Ah Yong nodded, and then comforted: "But it doesn't matter, I can give you a business card, you can contact me next time you come to Los Angeles, and I will help you arrange it then." ”
"Thank you!" Han Li said with a smile.
"You're welcome!" Ah Yong and Han Li high-fived and laughed.
