Chapter 98 (2/2)

It is just a story of what would we do if we demonstrate with the present semi-auto and full-auto weapons.

Her Highness Princess, the Earl and the others, and also the spectators were about three meters away from my right side. Sabine-chan and Colette-chan are on my rear diagonally at about one meter away.

I placed the gun barrel on the wooden table, and then put my right hand on the bolt and pulled it. Even though it's a bolt, it doesn't mean that I need to pull it every time like the bolt-action infantry rifle, Arisaka Type 38. It's a small but important process to pull the gun's bolt, and if I pull it too many times, my palm will turn red and hurt as I need some power to pull it.

And if I use a blank gun ammo or the like, the gas pressure will be insufficient and I cannot reload the empty cartridge, hence I need to pull it with my hand each time and die. It's nothing but an impossible thing to do with my own strength. Well, I don't have to worry about shooting a real bullet, though.

(TL Note: Tenno Heika Banzai!! Type 38) When the bolt is pulled, the breechblock portion retracts and the chamber is locked in an open state. Normally, you will insert an ammunition clip with a set of 8 7.62mm NATO bullets from the top, but this time, as an irregular way, one bullet was taken out from my pocket, inserted it into the chamber with my hand, and then pulled the bolt slightly while pushing the magazine follower with my thumb. The lock will be released, so I'm careful not to crush my own thumb and close the breechblock. This completes the ammunition loading for a breech loading single shot rifle.

(TL Note: by Asther. Fun fact: It is indeed very hurt.) And, even if I'm going to shoot immediately, as what the captain has taught, the gun was temporarily on safety.

Set my footing to get the position to shoot, set my posture and aim. With this, I released the safety device.

The rear sight adjustment had already been done at the mercenary base.

Set the horizontal wheel to the zero position, and once the vertical wheel has been lowered to the bottom, raise it to 12 clicks, and from there on it will be fixed according to the three-point regulation. The shooting won't be precise and the trajectory will shift slightly as the actual shooting starts with a cold gun-barrel, but it's going to be fine if I could get a shot on the armor at a 50-yard demonstration, hence there's no problem!

Slowly breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out….

I stopped my breathing immediately after changing it into another inhale. It is not in a state of exhaling all of the air, nor in a state of inhaling it a lot.

Gently, I put some force on my finger and unconsciously pull the trigger, gently and softly, I don't even know when will it be fired, gently, like a fallen snow in a dark night……

*Paaann!*

A narrow 7.62 mm bullet had came out of the muzzle just before the barrel was affected with the recoil and bounced back.

The *Dokyuuuuuun…..* sound echoed inside the shooting range. Though, It can also be heard as a light pop sound from outside as the gun sound was that loud.

Because there's no bullet left, the breechblock is retracted and locked, and the chamber remains open. I insert the second bullet from my pocket, do the ammo loading in the same way as before, and then fire it without overly careful aiming.

This is in order to show that the first shot absolutely hit the key part and doesn't take so much time for the next shot. I shot with the intention of 『I could aim anywhere, so it's already good if I hit a part of the armor』.
