Chapter VII High-precision rifles
Entertaining Lu Jun's boss to have a good time at his private shooting range, Qiao Jia finally stayed behind to clean up the scene, and then drove the car into the desert.
After nearly half an hour of galloping across the wilderness with no edge in sight, Joga found a relatively flat place.
Eight hundred meters away from him were a few dead trees, as well as a boulder that had been eroded by wind and sand for an unknown number of years.
Joga put up the simple awning he had brought from the shooting range again, and then drove in front of the boulder and sprayed several targets on the boulder with red spray paint.
Finally, a dozen humanoid iron targets were hung on the tree with wires, and Qiao Jia drove back to the awning, took out his modified or modified SVD, and lay on a rainproof cloth.
First, I took out a rangefinder and measured the distance, 753 meters.
Joga then aimed his 15x at a target on the boulder and pulled the trigger after a few seconds of deliberation.
After a "bang" gunshot, Joga immediately picked up the binoculars and looked for the impact point.
At a distance of nearly 800 meters, it is very common for the shooter not to know where the bullet flies after shooting, and the field of view in the sight is too small to see very clearly, so there is generally an observer around the sniper, so that the sniper can be reminded of the location of the shot.
It's a pity that Joga doesn't have an observation hand, and he has to do all his own things.
Looking through the telescope, Joga found that the bullet he had fired was 40 centimeters to the left of 1 meter above the target.
This is different from what he expected, because the SVD in his hand has been adjusted by him, and the zero distance of the shot is 200 meters, and Joga did not choose to adjust the sight, but according to the Internet, he deliberately raised it a little higher when aiming.
Then he found that the trajectory of the bullet was completely different from what he expected, at least at a distance of 753 meters, and the bullet showed no signs of falling at all.
Theoretically this scenario is impossible, and Joga is confident in the electromagnetic barrel he has made, but not enough to think that this gun can break the laws of physics.
But the reality made Qiao Jia feel very excited, referring to the sniper special ammunition made by the former Soviet Union standard, with the electromagnetic barrel lengthened by 5 cm, the SVD in his hand can maintain a straight trajectory at a distance of about 800 meters.
After trying a few shots again, Qiao Jia was pleasantly surprised to find that the bullets fired by this gun would fall after 850 meters due to storage velocity, air resistance and other reasons, while the effective killing distance could continue to about 1200~1400 meters.
The maximum range is not known, and Joga doesn't think he can use it, and he has the idea of killing the enemy from 2000 meters away, so he should build a Barrett instead of an SVD.
This is an incredible statistic for an old gun like SVD!
Even compared to the top-of-the-line rotary pull-back sniper rifles, it's not a dimensional thing, because even a novice can hit the target at 800 meters as long as he doesn't have a shaky hand.
At the distance of 200 meters ~ 400 meters, which Joga is best at, the accuracy of this gun is unparalleled, reaching the level of 0.1 arc minutes, and there is almost no error.
Then, as the distance extends to 800 meters, Joga will have deviations due to shooting habits and lack of practice, but this deviation is generally within the size of a volleyball.
And beyond this distance, when it comes to calculating ballistics and wind deviations, Joga's performance is a bit unsatisfactory.
It's not a question of guns, it's a problem of people.
Because Joga is not so familiar with shooting with high-powered sights, searching and aiming through a narrow field of vision makes Joga very uncomfortable.
However, these problems can be overcome, and the bigger problem is the unfamiliarity with the gun and the ballistics of the bullet.
It takes a lot of practice and getting used to, but it's clear that at 800 meters, Joga can pick up quickly.
Many people may think that long-distance shooting is very simple, just like playing a game, opening the scope, aiming, shooting......
But the reality is that when your muzzle is more than a certain distance from the target, the slightest shortness of breath, or even the rapid heartbeat before pulling the trigger, will make the bullet not know where to go.
If the muzzle of your gun deviates by half a millimeter, the point of impact may deviate by a meter or even tens of meters.
It's not enough to simply pursue hand stability like an assaulter, you can't find a personal rhythm of shooting, and you can never become a good sniper or accurate shooter.
Joga had opted for the most stable horizontal shot, but the reality was still not up to his expectations, which made him a little frustrated.
A gun must be a good gun, then it can only be a human problem.
This is the disadvantage of not being born in a professional class, on the Internet, the novel is full of the kind of genius shooter who wears through Yang in a hundred steps, as if he is not a qualified sniper without a headshot from two kilometers away.
Joga didn't realize how amazing his shooting performance was, the first time he hit a long-distance target, every subsequent shot was on target except for the first one, and the deviation was less than the size of a football ball.
This means that as long as he aims at the torso of the enemy, he can maintain an extremely high hit rate at a distance of 800 meters.
Combined with his habitual rapid-fire habits, this guy is theoretically an extremely good and lethal precision shooter as long as he takes that SVD.
It's a pity that Joga doesn't know, and fortunately he doesn't, otherwise his inner motivation might be reduced a lot.
He practiced his marksmanship desperately in order to protect himself in case of possible problems.
He trained his pistols and assault rifles at close range, all for his own safety.
And the more lethal long distances are more out of personal preference.
At a time when no matter how much he practiced with his pistol and assault rifle, Joga needed a new ability 'growth point'.
This allows him to maintain mental stability in a relatively dangerous environment, and each more progress or skill he acquires will increase his sense of security.
This is very important for Joga's profession, and if he is insecure for a long time, he may not need to be attacked by others, and the pressure of pervasiveness can crush a person.
Of course, heartless people, ignorant people, self-deprecating people don't care about this, and may even find it quite exciting.
And Joga was alone, spending three years in this high-pressure environment, and it was this high-pressure environment that prompted him to grow rapidly for three years.
Three hours every night, three years, four months, twenty-three days......
Unbeknownst to Joga himself, he has trained himself to be a very tough killer who is becoming more and more deadly.
Joga didn't have a clear idea of his condition, but that didn't stop him from quickly finding pleasure in shooting from long distances.
He took the crosshair, which fluctuated with his breath and heartbeat, as a fun challenge.
Five days, and in just five days, Joga felt like he had found a little rhythm.
Although at a distance of 800 meters, the question of the trajectory of the bullet has yet to be resolved, but Joga's 'working time' has arrived.
