Chapter 914: Scope

The reason why Supreme Treasure asked Uncle Jian to prepare a sniper rifle for him was not that the target was not just to kill and injure the opponent's personnel, in fact, they could often play a tactical role that ordinary infantry could not achieve. For example, a sniper rifle can be incapacitated by shooting at tank members, fuel tanks, periscopes, and communication equipment, which of course did not exist in ancient times, but there is still damage to key defense systems in some places; It is possible to delay the combat operations of enemy bases by destroying critical equipment, etc. In addition, weak links such as ammunition depots, fuel depots, and command headquarters are also very easy to become high-value tactical targets for snipers.

A foreign soldier who was once the No. 1 soldier in World War II recorded 345 hunts. He once said that the measure of a sniper's success is not how many people he shoots, but how much impact he can have on the enemy's actions. Sniper rifles, if they can kill enemy officers, are often able to thwart enemy attacks.

In World War II, the Soviet army fully recognized the tactical value of snipers and promoted them. In the Battle of Stalingrad, Soviet snipers instilled great fear in the German troops and played an important role in demoralizing the German army. According to statistics, it took more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition to kill an average soldier during World War II. During the Vietnam War, it took an average of 200,000 rounds of ammunition to kill a soldier, but a sniper during the Soviet-Finnish War needed less than two rounds on average. Of course, an army doesn't need too many sniper gunners, after all, it still takes someone to charge forward to end the war. Snipers are only one of the key uses. Supreme Treasure originally intended to let Zheng Ze try this task, but he didn't expect that the last three soul-penetrating Xiaohu surprised him, and it seemed that the position of this sniper was going to be given to Xiaohu.

So Supreme Treasure assembled this sniper rifle and prepared to let Xiaohu try his hand first, saying that it was the first time he really held the sniper rifle in his hand, and it felt very good. After a while, a gun more than ten times larger than a pistol was successfully assembled, and this is the domestic Barrett known as the king of snipers! Speaking of Barrett, these ancient soldiers naturally have never seen it, even the Supreme Treasure has seen its power in a game called CrossFire when he was addicted to online games before, nicknamed Cannon, which can penetrate armored vehicles, which shows how powerful it is.

This is also the only sniper rifle in the firearms that Uncle Jian brought to the Supreme Treasure, according to him, the Barrett sniper rifle is a heavy special-purpose sniper rifle developed and produced by the Barrett company of the United States, this M82 model is used by almost all major Western countries' armies, including the special forces of the Mi Army. Uncle Jian also got one with great difficulty, so the Supreme Treasure must choose a reliable soldier to use it, he has his own ability, and these conventional weapons are no longer in his eyes.

Legendary, this sniper rifle was designed by Lonnie Barrett, a commercial photographer in Tennessee, USA, and a firearms enthusiast who had never received any training in firearms design. In January 1981, a chance encounter prompted Barrett to decide to design a large-caliber semi-automatic sniper rifle, at that time. Fifty calibers were used only on heavy machine guns. Twenty-six-year-old Barrett Pure Shatter is hoping to make a civilian, affordable and capable launcher. Fifty rounds of firearms, so, from design to manufacturing, he came up with a prototype in less than a year. Barrett then created his own company, and in 1982 began trial production, and the M82A1 large-caliber semi-automatic sniper rifle was officially "born".

The early M82 sniper rifle produced by Barrett did not use a Picatinny rail, and the muzzle used a two-section conical brake, which proved that this style of brake was not effective, so it was now changed to an inverted two-chamber muzzle brake, which is said to reduce the recoil by 69 percent. It can be seen that a weapon that can stand the test of time has also become a classic in continuous improvement.

Here's also an interesting fact, as early Barrett large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifles fired gunpowder gases that ejected from the brakes would roll up a lot of dust and loose particles near the shooter. This will allow the enemy to discover the sniper's location and eliminate the sniper with weapons such as RPGs. So the sniper who used Barrett got the title "cannon fodder sniper".

But now Barrett's sniping ability is too terrifying. It is said that in 2012, two snipers of the Special Commando Regiment shot an enemy commander with an M82A1 from a distance of nearly 3,000 meters, and also broke the previous 2,475-meter long-distance sniper record set by another sniper in November 09. Both snipers fired at the same time, but it was not known who had fired the bullet on target, and only one shot hit. Six seconds after the shot was fired, he was killed by the sniper target. The sniper does not hear the gunshot, as the sniper rifle is positioned very far away and the bullet flies faster than the sound speed. Two gunshots are not heard until about two seconds later, but the gunfire is very faint as the sniper is hiding almost three kilometers away. Such a powerful killing method is really a fantasy for these ancients who have never seen the world, and when the Supreme Treasure introduced Barrett, everyone was so frightened that their mouths couldn't close. Xiaohu said even more tremblingly: "Chairman...... You mean...... Give me this gun...... To use? ”

"That's right, it's for you. You have to have faith in yourself, you know that you are one of ten thousand? God gave you this seemingly bad presbyopia, but in fact it opened up another eye for you to see far enough. Come, look out of this tube and tell me what you see? Supreme Treasure handed the eight-fold mirror on the sniper rifle to Xiaohu and said.

Xiaohu took the eightfold mirror and looked through the tube according to what the Supreme Treasure said, "Ah! What is that! ”

"Quick, tell us, what do you see?"

"I saw Minister Xiao patrolling the gate of Jingzhou!" Xiaohu's face was full of incredulity.

The soldiers at the bottom exploded the pot, how is this possible? This is the outskirts of Jingzhou, surrounded by mountains, even if you stand on a high place and see the Jingzhou city gate, it is only a small point, let alone see the people in the city.
