545: Chapter 541: Three of Each for Me 545: Chapter 541: Three of Each for Me Jack had cleared out their indoor shooting range for the entire afternoon.
It wasn’t open to the public; of course, this arrangement came at a cost.
Gao Yang and his group had to pay not only for the ammunition but also for the use of the facility.
Everyone was firing their favorite guns.
For Gao Yang and Cui Bo, however, the guns chosen by Li Jinfang held the greatest allure.
Gao Yang truly loved guns.
He wouldn’t have traveled to Africa otherwise.
Cui Bo also had a deep affection for firearms, or else he wouldn’t have stayed in Libya.
Neither had ever used guns from Huaxia, so several models from Huaxia held enormous appeal to both of them.
Gao Yang held a Type 95 and after emptying a magazine, he took a long breath and smiled, “Finally, I’ve finally shot a Type 95, though still in America, but I’ve done it at last.”
Li Jinfang smiled and asked, “Do you like it?”
Gao Yang shook his head, “Not really, I’m not used to bullpup rifles.”
At that moment, Cui Bo finished a magazine with an Type 03 rifle and he too took a long breath and said, “I’ve finally shot a domestically made gun, finally shot 5.8 mm cartridges, this feeling is so refreshing.”
After exchanging glances with Gao Yang, the two exchanged their guns in a smooth agreement, loaded new magazines, and then emptied another magazine of bullets each.
Comparatively speaking, Gao Yang preferred the Type 03, enjoying both the ergonomics and the shooting experience more, though he felt the precision of the Type 03 might not be as high as the Type 95’s seemed to be.
After Cui Bo finished shooting, they exchanged views and found Cui Bo felt the same.
After firing the two 5.8 mm caliber rifles they wanted the most, Gao Yang picked up a Type 81 and contentedly fired several bursts.
After Cui Bo had his turn, they finally handed the gun to Li Jinfang.
Li Jinfang had actually never fired a Type 03 before either.
After he finished with the Type 03 and picked up the Type 81, he took a deep breath and then smilingly said to Gao Yang and Cui Bo, “You know, I started with this one when I first joined the army.
Even though I switched to a Type 95 later, the feel of this gun is different.
A Type 95 is just a gun to me, but the old Type 81 feels like an extension of my body, always comfortable no matter how I shoot.”
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “Go on, get that quick magazine change feeling.”
After taking a deep breath, Li Jinfang raised his gun and fired, short bursts, long bursts, full auto, and just as the magazine was about to empty, he deftly swapped it with one in his left hand without stopping the firing, completing the magazine change seamlessly.
As the full-auto firing continued, Li Jinfang’s gunshots never ceased, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.
The audience was full of experts, but once their attention was caught, they couldn’t look away.
Seeing Li Jinfang swap to the third magazine, several people involuntarily walked over.
After the third magazine emptied and the barrel had turned red, unable to fire any longer, Li Jinfang put down the rifle and exclaimed loudly, “That was exhilarating, damn exhilarating.”
Upon seeing Li Jinfang finish firing, Bruce whistled loudly and said, “Toad, no need to try any more.
With other guns, I’ve never seen you shoot as smoothly.”
Jack also applauded repeatedly saying, “Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.”
Li Jinfang raised the rifle in his hand, smiled, and said, “I’d also like to use it, but the ammo isn’t compatible.
Our main ammunition is 5.56, not 7.62.
Jack, can you do something about that?”
Jack nodded and said, “Given your numbers, keeping the same weapons isn’t very significant, but maintaining ammunition compatibility is meaningful.
If you want to use the 5.56 caliber Type 81 rifle, I have a way.”
Gao Yang laughed and said, “You really do have a way, I knew I couldn’t stump you.”
After a brief moment of thought, Jack said, “It’s not difficult.
It just requires changing the barrel.
Of course, the main structure remains unchanged, but the ejector hook and the feeding mechanism need minor modifications.
With a CNC machine, I can build you a gun from scratch.
The only question is, do you want the original, or one that’s been heavily modified?”
Gao Yang asked curiously, “How would you modify it?”
Jack shrugged and replied, “This is an old gun; it lacks a Picatinny rail, so you can’t attach scopes or flashlights, but I can add everything you need.”
Li Jinfang hesitated, “That would be great, but after the modifications, will it still have the human-machine efficiency I’m familiar with?”
Jack smiled and responded, “If it’s a redesign, it will take longer, but luckily, I have existing templates that could be used.
Come take a look—Huaxia Army’s major modification version, Huaxia’s modification plans, definitely most suitable for Huaxia people’s habits, and of course, for you too.”
Li Jinfang nodded repeatedly, “Good, good.”
Jack waved at Li Jinfang and walked into the room outside the indoor shooting range, where almost no gunfire could be heard and there were chairs for registration and resting.
Jack pulled out his tablet and, after searching for a while, showed it to Li Jinfang, “Look at this.”
Although it was Li Jinfang choosing the rifle, Gao Yang and Cui Bo also came out because they were interested in the modified version of the 81 rifle.
Looking at the images on the computer, the three of them gaped, then Li Jinfang asked in a daze, “Is this still the 81?
It doesn’t look like it, does it?”
The rifle in the picture looked high-end, classy, with a red dot sight, a flashlight, and Picatinny rails on all sides, nothing like the old 81 they remembered.
Jack laughed and said, “This is Southern Industry’s so-called ultimate modified version of the 81 rifle.
The direct magazine version here is 7.62mm caliber, but it’s not the M43 intermediate round; it’s a NATO round.
There’s also a 5.56mm caliber version.
Of course, keeping the original 7.62mm intermediate round is also no problem, and it’s the simplest.”
Li Jinfang swallowed and asked, “Are these easy to make?”
Jack laughed and answered, “If you don’t consider intellectual property issues and only make one model for you, there’s no difficulty at all, and I can also use the best materials for you.”
Li Jinfang nodded and said, “Okay, I want all three versions you mentioned.
F**k, from now on I can use whatever I want, whatever bullets I want.
I finally have my own fucking gun!”
Jack shrugged, “Alright, you want every caliber, but have you thought about a backup gun?
If it’s lost or breaks, do you really want to come back to me to make one on the spot?”
Li Jinfang blushed and eagerly said, “Backup gun?
Of course!
Give me two of each, no, three, I want three of each model!”
