Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 9: Range practice

  The joint shooting range is an underground shooting range that is not too small in area. It may be due to the participation of dwarves like Uncle Rick. The ventilation system of the entire underground shooting range is very well constructed. Although several people in the shooting range are now shooting, Lawrence did not smell much burning gunpowder in the air.

   Just as the three of them walked into the shooting range, a door at the other end of the room opened, and a person who appeared to be the boss also brought the customers down to test the gun.

"Thirty years ago, we were still testing guns on the ground shooting range, but then the city council asked us to place the shooting range in a place where it would not hinder others, so everyone raised funds to build this underground shooting range. When it was built, everyone thought about it. I asked a wizard to do the mute treatment, but the wizards are asking too much." Rick shouted to Lawrence and the others.

   "This is already very good." Lawrence also shouted loudly, and at the same time gave a thumbs up to express his praise.

   Rick took Lawrence and they walked to a waiter and said a few words before they were taken to an empty target lane.

   "This is an adjustable target path. The user can freely adjust the distance between the target and you within 7 to 25 meters." Rick said, pointing to a crank on the table in front of him. "A clockwise circle is to keep the target one meter away from you, and counterclockwise will correct the opposite. You can try the gun now. I will give this box of 30 bullets for free."

"Thank you." Lawrence took the pistol and the bullets in the carton and came to the table. He first put down the box and pressed the fixed button on the side of the gun to place the bullet nest to the left, then opened the carton and pulled out the yellow. The copper-colored cartridge case was filled with one round of lead-grey bullets.

   After the six vacancies were all filled, he closed the bullet nest with his left hand, and then held the handle of the gun with both hands and aimed at the target seven or eight meters away in accordance with the habit of shooting Lawrence before.

  At this time, he felt that after acquiring the talent of samurai muscles and bones, his movements were much more accurate and agile than he remembered. Whether it was raising the gun or aiming, it seemed smoother. It seems that having a good body is indeed the basis for doing many things well.

   In the next few minutes, Lawrence repeatedly practiced the shooting and shooting movements. He didn't put the gun on the table in front of him until he felt that his body had recovered his previous shooting sensation. He stood there with his arms down and started to rest.

   When he felt that he was almost resting, he took a step forward and grabbed the pistol on the table, then made a shooting posture and aimed at the target and pulled the trigger.

   After a low bang, a bare lead bullet flew out of the barrel along with the flame. A bullet hole with a black scorch mark was left in the second ring of the humanoid target.

"The force required to pull the double-action trigger is much greater than that of the single-action trigger." Lawrence thought for a while and understood what was going on: obviously this was the difference between the two firearms that he didn't expect. , The result is a momentary inadaptability leading to movement deformation.

   It was much easier to correct it after understanding what the shooting error was. After a few seconds of pause, Lawrence held his arm and continued to shoot.

   In the sound of banging, banging, and banging guns, he slowly retrieved his previous body's memory of the gun. Even because of the enhancement of his physique, he has improved his shooting level by a whole level.

   With the last bullet hitting the eighth ring of the target 20 meters away, the test shot was completely over. When he put down his gun and walked towards the two waiting people, Edward walked over in surprise and patted him on the shoulder.

   "I didn't expect your recent marksmanship to improve so much. When we went to the shooting range last time, you could only achieve this accuracy on a 15-meter target."

   "Maybe it's because of my head hit in the past two days." Lawrence laughed at himself. "Isn't there in the cases we've read? After a severe head injury, people will be very different from before."

   "How about this gun, little one?" Rick walked to the table and put the gun away and asked Lawrence. "I can guarantee that this is the best pistol on this street."

"I want to buy two, one for my own use, and the other as a gift for my father." Lawrence said that during the shooting he found that this gun is indeed very good, and in all fairness, this gun is also a technology of this era. The highest level pistol, if you want to be better than this, only magic weapons are left.

   "Two, I think I can give you a discount." After that, he took Lawrence and they returned to the shop.

"Because this is a new gun, the price will be slightly more expensive." Uncle Dwarf said after taking out another identical box from the cabinet. "Each one costs 28 yuan, and the gun comes with cleaning tools, gun oil and 60 rounds of ammunition. Because you bought two at a time, I can also give you an extra 60 rounds of ammunition for your armpit holster and 10 rounds of inert practice ammunition."

   "Sounds great." Lawrence nodded, and then he remembered what Edward said when he was in the car. "By the way, do you sell enchanted ammunition here?"

   "——Sell it of course." After seeing Edward nodded slightly, Rick said proudly, stroking his beard. "I am the only three shops on this street that can legally sell enchanted bullets. UU Read www.uukanshu.com, but because you don't have a license, I can only sell you evil bullets."

  Evil Exorcising Bullet is a kind of ammunition specifically aimed at various evil creatures, and it has extra damage to all evil creatures. But if it hits a non-evil creature, it is no different from a normal bullet.

   This kind of bullet is one of the standard equipment of various Orthodox churches. Lawrence has seen his father process this bullet and provide it to the townspeople facing the goblin tide. Because of its characteristics, this bullet is rarely an enchanted bullet that can be sold publicly.

   "How much does the exorcism bullet for this gun cost?" Lawrence asked. After all, his adoptive father made only the warheads of old-fashioned firearms, which is still somewhat different from this integrated ammunition.

   "Two for a dollar, buy five and get one free." Rick said after hearing Lawrence's question, and he took out a small tin box from under the cabinet.

There are six bullets separated by corrugated paper in the iron box. These bullet shells are no different from ordinary ammunition, but their bullets are not common lead gray but silvery white. If you keep staring at it, you can feel the silver bullets. There seemed to be water ripples shaking.

"Give me 12." Lawrence said to Rick after a little thought, because he thought that if there is an emergency, 12 rounds would be enough to solve the problem. If 12 rounds can't solve the problem, then prepare more. Bullets are useless.

   "Okay, I will pack these things for you." Rick said and started packing these things, "A total of 61 yuan, thank you for your patronage!"

   Lawrence calculated his mind and nodded, then took out the check just now. "Can this be used here?"
