Chapter 176: Vacation III
Joey's communication with Hasso Mandolfil is not a verbal exchange on paper, but a specific detail of holding a gun, holding a gun and shooting, and Joey needs to explain why this posture is good and why this posture is bad.
For example, Hasso asks Joey why his arms are bent when holding a gun and straight when he shoots.
No kind of rhetoric outweighs the actual demonstration, and Joey grabs Ernst, or even Joachim, and asks them to try to seize the pistol in his own hand in C.A.R. position.
The biggest advantage of C.A.R. holding the gun posture to deal with the person who pounces on the gun is that he can make full use of the movement of his feet, the twisting of the waist and the swing of the elbow, to repel or get rid of the entanglement of the opponent's hands, and at the same time as the elbow swing, he can make full use of the flexibility of the wrist to shoot the opponent at close range.
Ernst, who participated in the demonstration, was often knocked away by Joey's elbow swing, and even if Joey pounced on him with his height and arm length, Joey could also use the strength of his elbow and waist to push Joachim away at the same time, pull the trigger of the pistol in his hand, and hit Joachim.
Of course, the M1877 in Joey's hand is empty, just the empty sound of a hammer crackling.
Watching Joey nimble with the axis of his body, consisting of legs, waist and elbows, constantly dodging his opponent's entanglement attacks while still keeping the weapon in his hand to return fire, Hasso Mandolfer finally understood the literal meaning of C.A.R. (central axis lock).
After Ernst and Joachim frustratedly gave up on the challenge of the C.A.R. gun position, Joey went on to demonstrate the full content of the 21st famous gun holding system, including three shooting positions, the Z-word search method, and the content of the six R's (Changing Hands, Weapon Protection and Blocking, Reloading and Descoring, and Corresponding Training).
After showing the great advantages of C.A.R., Joy does not shy away from the problems of C.A.R.
Compared to the isosceles shooting method and the straight-arm Weaver shooting method, Joy bluntly said that the C.A.R shooting method is more suitable for close or extreme distance emergencies, especially in tight areas, such as indoor or hallways.
The C.A.R shooting method allows the shooter to still focus on the crosshair under extreme pressure, ensuring that the eye, the crosshair and the target reach a three-point line, and complete the shooting in the shortest possible time, solving the problem of close-range directional shooting.
There are pros and cons to everything, just like the heads and tails of the same coin.
After all, the high-position gun holding method of C.A.R. makes the gun close to the shooter's eyes, and the shock wave and high-temperature gas generated when the bullet is fired, as well as the reciprocating motion of the moving parts of the gun, will pose a challenge to the shooter's own safety.
As for the isosceles shooting and Weaver shooting method used by Joey in the shooting competition with Joachim in the back, Joey was quite outspoken, if he used the C.A.R. shooting method, his bent arm during the shooting process still could not withstand the impact of the M1877's .38 Colt long bullet, and using the isosceles or Weaver shooting method, through the straight arm, the recoil of the gun could be transmitted to the body, relying on the center of gravity of the body to offset the recoil of the gun.
In addition, the aiming baseline is extended by the straightening of the arm, and the accuracy of shooting can be guaranteed when shooting at targets within 15 meters.
When to shoot with a straight arm or when to shoot with a bent arm should be flexibly decided according to the actual situation, and there is no immutable method.
Maybe there are natural sharpshooters in this world, but both Joy and Hassog firmly believe that real-life sharpshooters are cultivated by systematic training and a large number of bullets, and Joey built this actual shooting range for the purpose of this.
Rigor is the personality of the Prussians, a Prussian soldier always likes everything to be organized, and has a natural liking for any theory that summarizes experience, so Hasso Mandolfil likes this set of C.A.R. theory and practical skills described by Joy from the bottom of his heart.
After talking about the theory and techniques of the pistol, Joey even planned to continue to discuss the shooting techniques of the rifle, such as when the rifle is shot against the shoulder, where is the specific position of the shoulder is more appropriate, whether it is better to open the arm when shooting, or clamp the arm.
But the timing of an aristocrat, especially a German aristocracy, is never left to his own whims, but everything is according to plan.
As soon as Joey felt that the pleasant conversation began, an attendant hinted at him that the new course of the two Highnesses was about to begin, and that your royal highness, Prince Waldemar, your clothes did not conform to etiquette, and you had to leave time to tidy up your appearance.
Before parting, Joey couldn't help but invite Hasso, hoping that the Mantofell brothers would often come to Charlottenburg Palace to find themselves during the holidays.
During the summer vacation, not only Joey was on vacation, but also the governess of the Imperial Palace, his friend Dreyer's family went to Norway for a vacation, and Stallin also took advantage of the vacation to return to his parents.
However, the etiquette teachers in the German court are open all year round, and the crown prince and the crown princess who return to the center of power in Berlin are very busy, so throughout the summer, the underage Prince Joachim, plus Joey's two younger sisters, have to study a full set of royal etiquette courses in the Charlottenburg Palace.
In short, Joey and his sisters, in this summer vacation, except for being able to return to the palace on weekends, were completely dumped by Crown Prince Frederick and his wife to Joey's grandmother, Empress Augusta.
As for Ernst Mandolfel, Joy felt that his best friend would definitely find an opportunity to visit him, but Hasso Mandolfil was an officer with a lot of barracks affairs to attend to, and Joy did not dare to expect a busy officer to visit him at the palace often.
But it was just such a sentence that Joey did not dare to hope for, but it became a prophecy. A few days later, the Mandolfil brothers came to Charlottenburg Palace again, still accompanying the old Marshal Mandolfel, and since then, they have visited more frequently.
The Mandolfil brothers accompanied his father's frequent visits, and Joey was of course very happy, especially in the fields related to strength and skill such as horse riding, fencing, gymnastics, swimming, etc., when he was fully suppressed by Joachim, with Haso's visit, Joey could pull everyone openly, and have another actual shooting competition, so as to save the bottom well.
Speaking of this actual combat site, Joey finally successfully retained, after all, he was Joey who could raise a few crocodiles in the Charlottenburg Palace, and Emperor Wilhelm turned a blind eye to Joey's practice of turning his shooting range into a four-way approach, so he naturally turned a blind eye and went with Joey.
Crown Princess Victoria has long been accustomed to the old emperor, and has always been so protective of Joey, but Joey's advocacy cannot but criticize education, plus the complaint of the two baby daughters cannot be ignored, in the end, only to arrest Joey, and explain to Joey that he can neither use the favor of the old emperor to do anything wrong, nor make his sisters unhappy, and take care of his sisters, otherwise the punishment of grounding awaits Joey.
Joey honestly agreed, but the two little princesses were still very dissatisfied, and her mother finally did not order Joey to not allow Joey to write the boy who knew magic in an embarrassing way, so she started a cold war with Joey and no longer followed Joey like a little tail.
Therefore, the heroic image of Joey killing all sides in the actual shooting range cannot be described to her in the distance through the pen tips of the two princesses.
After all, a person praising himself is an unfashionable thing after all.
It seems that I have to find a way to please my sisters.
With the Mandolfil brothers' many visits, in the casual chatting after shooting, Joey realized that the reason why Kaiser Wilhelm frequently summoned the old Mandolfil was still inextricably linked with himself.
This connection stems from the Chilean plan I gave to my father and the old prime minister on the night of late spring.
