Chapter 290 Armed (2/2)

Hans took out a pistol from the counter and threw it at him. ”This is for you. Get this, it suits you.”

”What gun is this?” Li Du held it in his hand, and turned it around repeatedly, inspecting it.

The exterior of this pistol was silvery-white, and looked very beautiful. It was rather light—Li Du estimated it to weigh about two pounds; it was very comfortable to hold.

Hans introduced it: ”The civilian version of the Beretta 92F. It’s not very powerful but its safety, comfort, and reliability levels are high. It’s suitable for rookies like you.”

Li Du held it properly to get a feel for the gun. ”Then this is it. I don’t need any others, just this one will do.”

Hans was stunned. ”Don’t need any others? You’re relying on this to hunt? This toy is for your self-defense!”

Li Du said, ”I don’t need any others because I haven’t played with this before—my shooting skills will be crap.”

”Then you can choose a shotgun,” Hans said, ”or an old-style hunting gun. That toy’s easier to use.”

Li Du smiled and shook his head. ”No, I have my weapon already. I don’t need them.”

As Li Du spoke, he walked toward the wall and retrieved a crossbow from it.

This crossbow had a streamlined design, and was all black, with a silver edge. It was about 80 cm long, and 50 cm wide; made using synthetic materials, it felt heavy in his hands.

”The Black Mamba-C1 is a killer,” the employee at the side introduced. ”It is made using of the latest straight rail eccentric wheel technology. When fired, the speed of the arrow is so fast that you won’t be able to see it once it is released.”

”What’s the material?” Li Du asked.

The guide patted the crossbow and said, ”The arrow’s body is made of high-carbon polyester fiber. Very sturdy—it wouldn’t dent even under the weight of five tons.

”The bow is made of a variety of compound metals imported from Germany. In terms of both its hardiness and overall compression, it has far exceeded other crossbows on the market around the world.”

Li Du nodded, then quickly put it down, and swiftly lifted it back up. It felt amazing; he then said, ”Can I give it a try?”

”Of course, no problem,” the guide said in delight.

Hans stopped him. ”You don’t have a crossbow? Did I not give you one? Pterosaur Rage!”

Li Du said helplessly, ”Pterosaur Rage is too small—it’s a hand crossbow. It’s fine for defense, but can’t really be used for hunting.”

”Oh, right.”

As they were leaving the firearms shop, they bumped into Maurice.

Maurice saw the crossbow he was holding in his hand, nodded, and said, ”The Black Mamba-C1 is a vicious killer. The bow is made of an eight-wheel pulley block mechanism, and its range is very far. The use of the trigger-point system can make the crossbow feel light when firing, thus increasing the accuracy of the shot, as well as greatly increasing the life-span of the bowstring.”

Hans said, ”These are toys for p*ssies.”

Maurice laughed out loud and said, ”If you underestimate it, then you’re at a disadvantage. It’s a genuine Black Mamba, partner—the invisible killer, the black mamba!”

Black mambas might have been the most lethal snakes in the world, but they were most famous for their speed. Their attacking speed and movements ranked number one for their species!

At the range, the employee found them a target, then assembled the crossbow before saying, ”Mr. Killer, begin your hunting journey!”

This crossbow had other accessories: military optical sight, laser sight, ballistic corrector, and many more; its assembly was more troublesome than assembling actual firearms.

However, these accessories were indeed functional: optical sight made use of the cross-zooming principle, and could make targets in the far distance appear clearer and more visible.

For hunting at night, it could be changed to an infrared scope. This was a set of accessories that could easily be swapped.
