98 Demonstration With this, my position in this negotiation has now changed.
The target is at the end of the courtyard so there's no fear of accident due to the sh.e.l.ls, penetration nor bullets as everyone has taken a sufficient distance from the shooting site and piled up in the back.
The distance to the target is approximately 50 yards. It's too close for shooting a rifle, but I won't be stubborn about it.
And there's also a wooden table at the shooting stand which I will use it for firing the gun while resting it on top.
My body is small and in proportion to that, my palm is also small too. I also have no stamina and physical strength. In addition, this time, I will be using an old-type gun made in US, hence it's too big and too heavy for me.
No, it's not as if the gun will be bad. Well, there are various drawbacks if we compare it with present time, but at the time when the gun system was adopted, it was a quite excellent gun. It's just me who doesn't suit with it.
It's a bit difficult for me to hold it in my arms normally, so the gun accuracy will likely drop. Therefore, I chose 『firing the gun while resting it on top of something』 as a way to increase the successful hit rate.
Well, I wouldn't say that it's an impressive thing. It's just that I will be shaking when aiming it while holding it in my hand, thus I need to have a support for the gun. If it's like this, it will be very easy to get a good hit. ……It's a basic fact, though.
And while I was drawing everyone's attention, I took out the gun from the case that I had put it down before.
M1 Garand.
(TL Note: Here you go go) Yes, it is a semi-auto rifle that the US proud of, which was active in World War II.
M1 Garand has several features. Both advantages and disadvantages.
The biggest advantage is that it was a semi-automatic rifle with a high degree of perfection at that time. The biggest drawback is that the difficulty of loading the ammunition clip halfway through and cannot reload if the remaining bullets were not used as it will remain inside unless it is shot wastefully.
Well, that kind of shortcoming was probably not a big problem in the US military as they could transport the ammunition as many as they like.
And the reason of why I choose this gun for this demonstration is because the gun is made from wood and iron, it's ma.s.sive, dignified, beautiful, reliable, and can shoot bullets one at a time. It can be used just like a 『breech loading single shot rifle』.
