The most crucial time for determining the price of the gun had arrived: the testing of the gun.
Luckily, they were at the range. Maurice called out a greeting, and a staff member chose a firing line for them. Wooden targets were placed at the positions marking the one-hundred meters, two-hundred meters, five-hundred meters and one-thousand meters respectively.
Hans was the tester for the gun. He held his headset and said, ”Wow, wooden targets. Old man, this is costing you an arm and a leg.”
Maurice laughed heartily, ”I hope you can hit them all.”
The Type 92 machine gun was being carried up. Godzilla stuffed a round of thirty bullets into it and then pushed Li Du so he would leave with him.
Li Du asked, ”What is the matter?”
”It can explode and kill someone,” Godzilla said briefly.
It was highly dangerous to test such old guns. It could explode if one were not careful, causing the person testing the gun to get hurt or even die.
Hans put on the headset and fixed his eye on the optical gunsight, and pulled the bolt to release the click sound twice before slowly pulling the trigger.
A crisp clat sound was heard, and the feed plate started to move. A few golden bullet shells shot out, making a sharp sound as they hit the ground.
With the vibration of the machine gun, Hans’s arms shook violently. A hundred meters away, the wooden target had split into a few pieces after being hit!
On seeing this, he was instantly excited and moved to aim at the target two hundred meters away. As he pressed the trigger, he shouted, ”Oh oh, this feels so f*cking good!”
This machine gun’s function was truly superior, despite not having been used for some years now. Although it had suddenly been whipped out for a round of shooting, its accuracy was still very good.
The wooden target at the two hundred meter mark was split up too. The five hundred meter target, however, could be more challenging for Hans to hit.
Thirty bullets were not considered a small amount, but for a machine gun, they could be used up in a matter of seconds. Hans, a seasoned shooter, had fired the gun in bursts. If he had shot continuously, the bullets would have all been used up with one press of the trigger!
A feed belt had been used up, but the wooden target at the five hundred meter mark was intact. However, even further, at the one thousand meter mark, the stray bullets had made a big hole in the wooden target.
The firing of the machine gun had attracted the attention of the shooters nearby. They came over to have a look and started a discussion about this gun:
”What type of machine gun is this? It looks very ugly but it has pretty amazing power.”
”Pretty good shooting skills, buddy. Well done!”
”Let me try, there is a gunsight here. There should be no issue hitting the target five hundred meters away.”
Hans took off his headset and smiled smugly, ”How is it, old man? This explosive b*stard is not bad, huh?”
Maurice nodded. ”The trajectory is a little off, but it is understandable. It has probably not been used in many years. Fifty-five thousand dollars; come with me to get the money.”
Hans whooped for joy and high-fived Li Du. Both of them did not expect this gun to be able to fetch such a high price; this was indeed an astounding surprise.
After getting the money, and as they were leaving, Li Du said, ”The owner of the gun shop is such a nice guy. If he had not told us about this gun’s history, we would have sold it for even 40,000 dollars.”
