21 Chapter 21: Shooting Range (1/2)
When Razlov and the group arrive at the area of the shooting range they seem to be confused at why did Razlov bring them here. They can only see a vast expanse of land and houses with no roof numbering a few tens. They keep looking around trying to see what's important about this place but nothing seems to special about this place.
Razlov could see the confusion in their face so he explains. ”I know you are confused at why did I bring you here. But do you remember what I said before the tour started? Yes, it is about the weapon called 'gun'. Using guns was supposed to be included in your training but I drop that idea since you know nothing about it. So I can only show it to you right now.”
”Inside this cases are 3 types of guns.” He keeps tapping the gun case as he said it. Earlier when they went to the armory, Razlov went inside to retrieve a Dragunov and a Beretta M9, regarding AK-47 since he has his own AK-47 he just needs to take it out of his inventory window then put it in a gun case.
Razlov look at the group then explains ”Guns are range weapons that launch projectiles just like the bow and arrow. There are many types of guns from small ones to big ones. What we have here right now are the small ones.”
As he finished explaining, someone in the group raises a hand then ask: ”Commander' if it's just like the bow and arrow why do we still need to use the gun since they are the same?”
”No, they are not exactly the same” he shook his head then continue ” There is a big difference between the two and that is its firing speed.”
He opens the smallest case and retrieves the gun.”Let me ask you a question, how many seconds would it take for an archer to release the arrow from the bow and hits its target?”
The group started to picture of how many seconds would it take. Then someone in the group answers.
”At least 2-3 seconds, since the archer would still need to aim after pulling the string”
”That's right, now I'll show the difference between the two.” He then instructed: ”Bring out the apples that I ordered to be brought here and put 5 apples on top of each bar.”
The people who were ordered started putting the apples on top of each bar. As Razlov was waiting for their work to be done, he started to load the magazine into the handgun then pull the slide. After their work was done, those people return back.
”Now watch and cover your ears” Razlov quickly took aim and started firing. Then a series of small explosions resounded in the area.
At first, the group was dubious about the gun, they just followed what did their commander told them which is to watch and cover their ears. Then an unbelievable sight happened, a small explosion was heard and then one of the apple burst, it all happened in just a blink of an eye. Then quickly after, a series of small explosions were heard again and the four other apples also bursts.
The group just stood there frozen in place, slack-jawed, and wide-eyed as they look at the unbelievable thing that happened. After a while, they burst into a commotion.
”What the f*ck was that!!?”
”Holy sh*t! What happened just now!!?”
”Unbelievable!”
As the group was making a commotion, Razlov slowly looks at the group. When they saw that Razlov turn to look at them they quieted down, as they are waiting for his explanation.
