From arms dealer to king of war

After entertaining Big Boss Lu Jun to have a good time at his private shooting range, Qiao Jia stayed behind to clean up the scene and then drove the car into the desert.

After nearly half an hour of running through the endless wilderness, Qiao Jia found a relatively flat place.

There were several dead trees 800 meters away from him, and a huge boulder that had been eroded by wind and sand for who knows how many years.

Qiao Jia put up the simple awning he brought from the shooting range again, and then sprayed several targets on the boulder with red spray paint in front of the boulder he drove over.

Finally, he hung a dozen human-shaped iron targets on the tree with wires. Qiao Jia drove back under the awning, took out the SVD that he had modified or transformed, and lay down on a rainproof cloth.

First, I took out a rangefinder and measured the distance, 753 meters.

Then Qiao Jia aimed at a target on the boulder through the 15x scope, pondered for a few seconds and then pulled the trigger.

After the "bang" gunshot, Qiao Jia immediately picked up the binoculars and looked for the impact point.

At a distance of nearly 800 meters, it is very common for shooters to not know where the bullets will go after shooting. The field of view in the sight is too small and the view is not very clear, so generally snipers have an observer beside them, so that Can remind snipers where to shoot.

It's a pity that Qiao Jia has no observer, so he can only do everything by himself.

Through the clearer telescope, Qiao Jia found that the bullet he shot was 1 meter above the target and 40 centimeters to the left.

This was different from what he expected, because the SVD in his hand had been adjusted by him, and the zeroing distance for shooting was 200 meters. Qiao Jia did not choose to adjust the sight, but according to what was said on the Internet, he deliberately raised it when aiming. A little higher.

Then he discovered that the trajectory of the bullet was completely different from what he expected. At least at a distance of 753 meters, the bullet showed no sign of falling at all.

Theoretically, this situation is impossible. Qiao Jia is very confident in the electromagnetic gun barrel he made, but not enough to think that this gun can break the laws of physics.

But the reality made Qiao Jia very excited. Using special sniper ammunition manufactured according to the standards of the former Soviet Union, and with a 5-centimeter lengthened electromagnetic barrel, the SVD in his hand was actually able to maintain a straight trajectory at a distance of about 800 meters. .

After trying a few more shots, Qiao Jia was surprised to find that the bullet fired by this gun would not fall due to speed, air resistance and other reasons until it reached 850 meters, but the effective killing distance could extend to about 1,200 to 1,400 meters.

I don’t know the maximum range, and Qiao Jia doesn’t think he can use it. If he wants to kill enemies from 2,000 meters away, he should build a Barrett instead of an SVD.

This is an incredible statistic for an old gun like SVD!

Even compared with the top rotating pull-back sniper rifles, it is impeccable. This is not a thing of the same dimension, because even if a novice picks up this gun, as long as he does not have trembling hands, he will Can hit the target within 800 meters.

At Qiao Jia's best distance of 200 meters to 400 meters, the accuracy of this gun was unparalleled, reaching 0.1 arc minutes, with almost no error.

Then as the distance extends to 800 meters, Qiao Jia will have deviations due to shooting habits and insufficient practice, but this deviation is generally within the size of a volleyball.

Beyond this distance, when it comes to calculating trajectory and windage, Qiao Jia's performance is a bit unsatisfactory.

This is not a gun problem, this is a people problem.

Because Qiao Jia was not that familiar with shooting with high-power sights, searching and aiming through a narrow field of view made Qiao Jia very uncomfortable.

However, these problems can be overcome, but the bigger problem is the unfamiliarity with the gun and bullet ballistics.

This thing requires a lot of practice and adaptation, but it is obvious that at a distance of 800 meters, Qiao Jia can get started quickly.

Many people may think that long-distance shooting is very simple, just like playing a game, open the scope, aim, shoot...

But the reality is that when the muzzle of your gun is farther than a certain distance from the target, your shortness of breath or even your heartbeat before pulling the trigger will cause the bullet to fly to nowhere.

If your muzzle deviates by half a millimeter, the bullet impact point may deviate by one meter or even dozens of meters.

Simply pursuing a steady hand like an assaulter is not enough. If you cannot find your personal shooting rhythm, you will never be able to become an excellent sniper or precision shooter.

Qiao Jia had chosen the most stable horizontal shooting, but the actual results still did not meet his expectations, which made him slightly frustrated.

The gun must be a good gun, so it can only be a human problem.

This is the disadvantage of not having a bachelor's degree. On the Internet, novels are full of talented shooters, as if they are not qualified snipers without the ability to shoot headshots from two kilometers away.

Qiao Jia had no idea how amazing his shooting performance was. It was his first time shooting a long-distance target. Except for the first shot, every subsequent shot hit the target, and the deviation was less than the size of a football.

This means that as long as he aims at the enemy's torso, he can maintain a very high hit rate at a distance of 800 meters.

Combined with his habitual rapid shooting, in theory, this guy is already an extremely good and deadly precision shooter as long as he holds the SVD.

It's a pity that Qiao Jia doesn't know, and it's fortunate that he doesn't know, otherwise his inner motivation may be reduced a lot.

He practiced his marksmanship desperately in order to protect himself when problems might arise.

He practiced handguns and assault rifles at close range to perfection, all to protect his own safety.

The more deadly long distance is more a matter of personal preference.

When there was no progress in practicing pistols and assault rifles, Qiao Jia needed a new ability 'growth point'.

This allows him to maintain psychological stability in a relatively dangerous environment. Every time he makes more progress or masters more skills, he will feel more secure.

This is very important for Qiao Jia's profession. If you are in a state of lack of security for a long time, you may not need attacks from others. The ubiquitous pressure will crush a person.

Of course, heartless people, ignorant people, and self-defeating people don't care about this, and may even find it exciting.

Qiao Jia spent three years alone in this high-pressure environment, and it was this high-pressure environment that prompted him to grow rapidly for three years.

Three hours every night, three years, four months and twenty-three days...

Without even knowing it, Qiao Jia had trained himself into a very powerful killer who was becoming more and more deadly.

Qiao Jia did not have a clear understanding of his situation, but it did not prevent him from quickly finding pleasure in long-distance shooting.

He regarded the crosshairs that fluctuated with his breathing and heartbeat as an interesting challenge.

In just five days, Qiao Jia felt that he had found a rhythm.

Although the problem of bullet trajectories at a distance of 800 meters has yet to be solved, Qiao Jia's 'working time' has arrived.
