Firearms!
The government had prohibited the production of this popular weapon.
The reason behind this prohibition was due to the fact that, ever since the eruption of the origin ability era, the strength of the berserk beasts increasingly grew stronger. As such, merely a firearm would no longer cause any harm to the berserker beasts.
Even a powerful rocket launcher was useless against a powerful berserk beast!
Handguns, grenades and other weapons weren’t even worth a mention. Instead, once a human’s origin ability had gone through a certain level of development, then some harm against the berserk beasts can be caused. Firearms were unable to pierce or harm the berserk beasts. As for facing origin ability talents, naturally, they were powerless against.
In fact, after the eruption of the origin ability era and its reconstruction, many weapon production factories were destroyed, and now, barely a few weapon production factories remained. In order to reconstruct these factories, an enormous fee must be paid. Making an enormous expenditure just to reconstruct something which is ineffective in combat? Naturally, this wasn’t permissible.
Eventually, firearms were banned.
However, following the development of origin ability, humans discovered a horrific matter, that is…. Even though firearms were ineffective against berserk beasts, but to humans, firearms were lethal against them. These firearms which were useless against the berserk beasts, were frighteningly useful against humans. It was as if firearms were humans ideal equipment to annihilate each other!
The reason was simple, the berserk beasts’ fur will always be on them.
No matter when the shot was made, the fur of the berserker beasts would effectively block any incoming bullets. But for humans? Although humans’ origin ability talents were great, they weren’t able to be constantly alert for 24 hours a day or to eternally use the origin ability defenses. Therefore, one moment of carelessness or negligence, a shot from a kilometer distance would be fatal.
After the Origin Ability Association discovered this, they were immediately enraged.
As you face such an incredible enemy like the berserk beasts, humans would still kill one another? Therefore, the Origin Ability Association immediately issued a ban!
The ban prohibited any business corporation in any condition, in any size, to produce firearms! If such production was found, any person was allowed to kill them on the spot. And this person would be able to claim a lucrative reward from the Origin Ability Association. Reporting any leads which were then subsequently confirmed would also be entitled them to a lucrative reward.
It was an order to stop killing each other.
This caused the few remaining firearm production factories to be completely destroyed. However, a few would still slip through the net and quietly produce such weapons and would secretly and illegally sell firearms.
In addition, after many years of advancement.
The integration of firearms and origin ability liquid produced an even more powerful effect!
This weapon would be very effective against low-level berserk beasts. However, the number of these low-level berserk beasts were so numerous that they weren’t able to be completely annihilated. And humans’ biggest enemy was those ferocious berserk beasts. The so-called college entrance examination system was produced to cultivate strong espers! Only truly strong espers would be really effective against these berserk beasts.
Therefore, the government was willing to pay any cost!
As firearms weren’t able to see the light of day, among them, the unavoidable sniper rifle, was called by others as traitor guns. Because only when they faced humans, they were able to unleash their most powerful might.
Su Hao saw these firearms twice.
The first time, which was like this gun earlier. As for the other time, it was the gun when he faced the Piao Ling Organization. Both times were abnormally dangerous.
Indeed, what the wise old saying was true, humans greatest enemy would always be themselves!
With his thoughts as quick as lightning, which in reality it wasn’t even a second, Su Hao quickly analyzed the earlier gunshot. As a victor need to know the enemy as well as himself, as long as he knew any information about the enemy, he would be victorious.
For him, that earlier shot revealed a lot of information.
Shooting position!
From the line of fire attacking him from his back, reaching the tree, it was a 30-degree angle. Su Hao easily deduced the enemy’s estimated position.
The size of the muzzle!
The bullet easily shot through the huge tree and left a tiny bullet hole. As Su Hao left earlier, he made a glancing sweep. Based on the size of the bullet, he was able to determine the size of the muzzle, and from thereon he was able to determine the model of this sniper rifle. There was only one type of sniper rifle that would use such a small but high-speed bullet, and that was the latest fk7-111 sniper rifle model.
Friction force delay!
In theory, the bullet’s speed would be faster than sound, therefore, it was certain that the bullet would arrive, followed by the sound.
But, after air friction factor was considered, once exceeding 1000 meters, although the speed of the bullet would be reduced, the sound wouldn’t be reduced. Therefore, in an ordinary scenario, once beyond 1000 meters, it was possible that the sound would arrive earlier than the bullet.
