Chapter 198 - Are You Nuts (2/2)
Xiao Luo shook his head and answered, “Sir. I don’t know!”
He really didn’t know. The King of Mercenaries Const.i.tution only gave him knowledge of famous foreign firearms. The native guns of Hua Nation were nameless in his eyes. They were all the same to him anyway.
“Heh, ignorant, and incompetent.”
Yan w.a.n.g scolded Xiao Luo, venting out his disappointment. He then looked at Gu Qianxue, said, “Gu Qianxue, what about you?”
Gu Qianxue’s keen eyes shot a glance at the gun, and with an indifferent tone, she said, “Type 77 pistol. It utilizes a striker-fired single action firing mechanism. The user can single-handedly chamber a cartridge by pulling the trigger guard back or use the traditional manual safety that exists above the left grip panel on the frame. It uses a single stacked nine-round magazine, and the effective firing range is 50 meters.”
Everyone was astounded by Gu Qianxue’s answer and gasped in admiration. Not only did she know the type of each handgun, but she could also describe their functions and features. She was like a walking encyclopedia.
“Did you hear her clearly? She’s right. This is a Type 77 pistol. Same as the QSZ-92, it’s in widespread use across the country by our police force.”
Yan w.a.n.g put down the handgun and walked to a line of rifles, said, “We have gone through these two kinds of the pistol. Now let’s talk about this Type 79 submachine gun. It was designed in 1979 and went into production in 1983. The rate of fire is 1,000 rounds/minute. What does that mean? It means it can shoot a thousand bullets in a minute.”
“Wouldn’t a person be smashed by the bullets?”
“Yes. A thousand rounds per minute. How frightening.”
“The power of destruction is unimaginable.”
The trainees kept taking in large breathes of air every time a new weapon was introduced. It was hard to believe that this was the first time they saw these weapons up close, where before, they could only see them on TV.
Yan w.a.n.g was satisfied that he could intimidate the trainees. He looked at Xiao Luo and asked him sternly, “Xiao Luo, you tell us the other specifications of this submachine gun.”
“Sir, I don’t know.” Xiao Luo answered.
“Heh, illiterate, and uneducated. Can you show at least a little bit of promise?” Yan w.a.n.g admonished him like a school teacher in ancient times.
Xiao Luo was speechless. He was sure that Yan w.a.n.g was bearing grudges against him because he scared Yan w.a.n.g with a punch in the gym the day before. Otherwise, Yan w.a.n.g had no reason to embarra.s.s him in front of others.
Liu Tieguo showed some sympathy, however.
“Gu Qianxue, you tell us!” Yan w.a.n.g’s eyes glanced at Gu Qianxue.
“Type 79 submachine gun. The caliber is 7.62mm. The gun with an empty cartridge weighs 1.75 kg. It has a 20-round box magazine and an effective firing range of 200m.” Gu Qianxue replied clearly with everything she knew.
“Look, Look. You’re worse than a girl. Xiao Luo, you truly disappoint me.” Yan w.a.n.g wouldn’t let Xiao Luo off so quickly.
Xiao Luo remained silent. It was just words. Words couldn’t hurt, he kept telling himself.
…
…
After introducing the firearms, Yan w.a.n.g threw another question, “What should you do if the enemy is pointing a gun at close-range?”
Liu Tieguo immediately raised his hand in excitement and said, “I know, I know. If the bad guy is pointing a gun at us, we should quickly block the muzzle with our fingers. In this way, the bullets can’t get out and will explode inside the barrel and hurt the bad guy instead.”
Everyone laughed out loud upon hearing his answer. If that would work, maybe pigs could fly too.
Feng Zixiao was also amused. He failed to maintain his somber look and uttered a chuckle.
Yan w.a.n.g’s face was impa.s.sive. He bawled out, “Motherf*cker, Liu Tieguo, are you f*cking nuts? Blocking the muzzle with your fingers? Is your head full of sh*t?”
