Chapter 8 Shooting Test
At the police academy shooting range, the cadets stood in line and waited to take the shooting test.
Perhaps because of the live ammunition, the atmosphere at the shooting range was very serious, and the air seemed to smell of gunpowder, and even the wind blowing in the distance carried a bit of solemnity.
The firearms used in the shooting test have been placed on the table at the shooting point, and they are all three-eight pistols.
The full name of the point 38 pistol is the Smith & Wesson M10 revolver, and it is also the most conventional kind of gun for the Xiangjiang police, the caliber of this gun is 0.38 inches, so it is also called "point 38".
Several instructors appeared at the shooting range, and the person headed by him was named Qu Mingchang, a shooting instructor at the police academy. He used to be a sniper for the Flying Tigers, but because he was injured and could not continue the high-intensity work of the Flying Tigers, he came to the police academy as an instructor.
Qu Mingchang saw that the atmosphere at the scene was a little tense, so he spoke; "I won't repeat the importance of this live-fire test, I think everyone will take it very seriously.
Also, I'll add a little bit of color to this quiz. Next month, there will be a shooting competition in our school, and the top three police officers in today's test will get VIP seats to watch the competition! ”
"Report sir, what's the VIP viewing space?" Someone immediately asked.
"It's the timekeeper on the spot, and the person closest to the contestants. The competition was attended by sharpshooters from the Force, and the timekeeper was able to observe how the sharpshooters shot up close, which was a rare opportunity. ”
After Qu Mingchang finished speaking, he took out a form and spoke; "Eight people in each group will be tested, and those who will be named will come forward to test! Qiu Junxuan......"
The squad leader Qiu Junxuan was the first to be called, he immediately stepped forward, and then the others who were named also moved forward, and He Jiahui and Yu Xueli were not named in the first batch.
The first group of eight cadet police officers came to the gun stand upright, and according to Qu Sir's instructions, they first put on earmuffs, then checked the firearms, loaded the bullets, and finally put the guns into the holster on their waists.
These standard actions are also part of the assessment.
"Prepare to ......" Qu Mingchang deliberately pulled a long tone: "Start!" ”
The eight people immediately started the action, opened the holsters, pulled out the guns, prepared to shoot, aimed at the target ten meters away, then pulled the plane, and then aimed again, shooting the next bullet.
After the six rounds are fired, the cartridge casing is unloaded and the gun is put back in its original position.
The first round of testing of eight people was over, and everyone looked at the target in the distance.
"Qiu Junxuan's six shots are really good, five of them hit Area A!" Someone sighed.
"In the first few tests, Qiu Junxuan was also the first place, but at most it was a four-shot A area, and this time there was a five-shot A area, it seems that the first place is still him!" The other spoke.
The gun target used in the shooting training of the Cadet Police is not a ring target, but a human-shaped gun target, and there is no ring number on the gun target, but it is divided into four areas.
The first area is naturally the area outside the humanoid target, which is equivalent to the off-target area.
The area within the humanoid form, including the arms, lower abdomen, legs, etc., is called the C zone. Hitting these areas will largely not cause fatal damage.
The position of the humanoid target from the chest to the abdomen is circled with an oval, and the position inside is the B area.
This area basically contains the main internal organs of the human body. Hitting these areas will cause a lot of damage, but it can still be saved.
And between the chest and the abdomen, about the location of the heart and liver, it is circled by a small white box, which is larger than the palm, and this is the A area.
If you hit this area, you will injure vital organs, and there is a chance of direct death.
It is worth mentioning that the head of the humanoid target is placed in the C area, not the A area with the highest score.
The main goal of the police's shooting training is to make the opponent lose the ability to resist, and a headshot is not encouraged. Therefore, the training of the police is all about hitting the body.
At the heart of the shooting test is a test of shooting accuracy, so hitting Zone A is the highest score.
He Jiahui also looked at the gun target in the distance, and he also felt that Qiu Junxuan's gun was very accurate. Although this test is not a rapid-fire test, the six bullets of 1.38 hit five A zones, which is definitely a top score.
The training time of the police officers in Hong Kong is only 27 weeks, unlike the police academy that takes several years as in the mainland. In 27 weeks of training, more than 280 rounds were fired.
Sharpshooters are fed by bullets, only 280 bullets, in addition to learning to aim and shoot without shaking, that is, the level of being able to hit the target.
To say that with the practice of 280 rounds, you can hit very accurately, unless you have extremely high talent, it is simply impossible.
"Qiu Junxuan is very talented in shooting, he hits so accurately!" He Jiahui opened his mouth and sighed.
"I remember telling you before that Qiu Junxuan was from a family of policemen, and his father, brother and sister were all policemen. His father, Yau Sir, died in the line of duty many years ago, and his elder brother Yau Chun-sang was a senior inspector of O-Kee. Ali introduced.
"No wonder, it turns out that there is a family history." He Jiahui nodded.
Ali continued: "Qiu Junxuan is a master of mathematics, so his grades have always been very good, except for physical fitness, he has taken the first place in other subjects.
originally thought that Qiu Junxuan had already decided on this year's Silver Flute Award, but I didn't expect you to suddenly come out and solve a big case, it is estimated that Qiu Junxuan's Silver Flute Award is a little hanging! ”
"My test score is far worse than Qiu Junxuan's." He Jiahui said deliberately modestly.
"The first few quizzes can only be used as a reference, and the later the quizzes, the more important they are. A good grade in the front can only mean that you are very good, but a good grade in the back can let the commander see your progress. This is also a very important plus. Ali began.
At this time, the first group of eight people had already left the shooting point and returned to the team, Qiu Junxuan subconsciously looked at He Jiahui, obviously also regarded He Jiahui as the biggest competitor of the Silver Flute Award.
Qu Mingchang began to roll call again, and this time Ali was called by the instructor and went on the field to participate in the test.
In the end, Ali also scored four A-sections, but the aiming time was a bit long, and the six bullets were fired for a full three minutes, which means that each shot had to be aimed for 30 seconds.
"Ah Li, this kid, looks like a reckless man on weekdays, his marksmanship is good, although he has been aiming for a long time, he is still very talented in shooting." He Jiahui said secretly in his heart.
After the second group was completed, Qu Mingchang began to name him again, and this time he Jiahui's name was finally called.
Qiu Junxuan's gaze involuntarily fell on He Jiahui's body, and there was a trace of nervousness in his eyes.
A friend of Qiu Junxuan's opened his mouth to comfort; "Junxuan, don't worry, He Jiahui just broke the case and showed his face in front of the first brother, in terms of grades, he is far worse than you! As long as you maintain your current good results, the Silver Flute Award will definitely still be good. ”
At this time, He Jiahui had already walked to the firing point, and according to the instructor's order, put on earmuffs, and began to check the firearms.
"It's a light gun." He Jiahui swept the point 38 in his hand with one hand.
As a revolver, the point 38 naturally has many shortcomings, such as short shooting distance, weak penetration, average shooting accuracy, low rate of fire, slow replacement, and so on.
But this pistol also has many advantages, such as high stability, not easy to jam bullets, and not easy to misfire. Lightness is also one of the advantages of the point 38 pistol.
The handle of the gun can be replaced with rubber or plastic, which greatly reduces the weight of the point, and even women can easily use it.
If it is not a revolver, the handle of the gun is usually equipped with a magazine, so the handle cannot be replaced with other materials, and naturally the weight of the whole gun cannot be reduced.
He Jiahui checked the point 38 in his hand, loaded it with six rounds, and then put the gun into the holster on his waist and waited for the instructor's order.
"Ready, go!" Qu Mingchang gave an order, and He Jiahui immediately started to move.
Raise the gun, aim, pull the liner.
"Bang bang!" Six gunshots rang out in a row.
It took only six seconds for Ho Ka-fai to shoot six bullets, and at this time, the others were still aiming, and none of them fired the first shot.
Both the instructor and the student police looked at He Jiahui in surprise, and even several other student police officers who were aiming couldn't help but look at He Jiahui.
Ali suddenly looked anxious, and muttered, "So fast, you should aim and hit again!" ”
Qiu Junxuan breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that he must be the first again.
"With the recoil of point 38, it is impossible for He Jiahui to shoot so fast to maintain shooting accuracy, and it would be good to be able to hit the target!"
