Chapter 22 The Wisdom of Gun Fans
Get up early in the morning and take Liu Chao and Zhao Nan to the airport, while Ju An goes to the gun shop to practice guns.There are not many bullets in stock, and I am preparing to stock up on the pistol.

As soon as he entered the door, Tommy, the young man who sold Ju An gun for the first time, greeted him with a big smile: "Hey! Ann, good morning."

"Good morning, Mike" Ju An shook the ups45 in the holster: "Prepare me two hundred rounds of ammunition, I'll go play in the back for a while, and prepare another two hundred rounds for me to take away."

Tommy nodded and said, "No problem."

While Tommy was going to prepare bullets, Ju An casually looked at it. A shiny revolver on the counter caught Ju An's attention. The barrel was much thicker and longer than normal revolvers. Little, he looked very mighty, stared at it for a while, and at this time Tommy would come with four small boxes in his hand.

Looking at Ju An staring at the gun in the counter, he said, "Ann, if I hadn't tried Colt's King Eye Snake, it looked very good. The key is that the revolver won't get stuck."

Ju An nodded, and Tommy took the gun out of the counter and tried it in his hand. It felt good, so he turned around and said to Tommy, "Get me a hundred shots and I'll try this. guy".

After finishing speaking, when I looked up and saw the M4 carbine hanging on the wall, I couldn't help but think of the time I used to play CS all night in college before, and said to Tommy, "Bring me two magazines, this guy."

After entering the shooting range, Tommy put the small basket with bullets on the countertop of the compartment. It was the small boxy plastic basket that Ju An ate when he was in China and let you choose dishes. Then he went out.Leaving Ju An alone to target.

Played with my gun and revolver, today's result is still good, Ju An is very satisfied, I changed the target paper twice in the middle, basically no misses at a distance of 20 meters.

Newly put on the target paper, picked up the M4, loaded the clip, aimed at the target, pulled the trigger, and a gunshot sounded. , the whole with handjob, a feeling.After playing with a clip, Ju An became less interested. '

why?But it's not addicting, Ju An still thinks that she has to hug her for a while, and it really makes Ju An feel a little bit painful.

At this time, Tommy came over, and Ju An looked at the M4 in his hand depressedly and asked, "What's wrong? Ann, is there something wrong with the gun?"

Ju An asked, "Why can't I fire in bursts?"

Tommy explained with a smile: "Federal law stipulates that fully automatic weapons produced after 1986 cannot be purchased by the private sector, and guns manufactured before 1986 and have a legal automatic weapons license can be freely transferred. Generally, it is not so easy to buy in the market. Automatic weapons with special licenses are very expensive, even if they have a price. Automatic weapons as defined by law are: any weapon, whether it is the original design or modified, as long as the trigger is pulled once to achieve a burst effect without manual intervention, then It's an automatic weapon."

Then Tommy smiled and said: "Although the law is so stipulated, but the law is made by people, there will naturally be loopholes. Many gun fans have taken advantage of the loopholes in the law, and let me demonstrate it to you."

After he finished speaking, he saw Tommy taking the M4 from Ju An, holding the front of the gun with his left hand, gently pressing the trigger with a finger of his right hand, without moving his right hand, pushing forward with his left hand to pull the trigger, then maintaining this position, The recoil of the gun, and then remembered with a continuous click.

Damn, Ju An scolded secretly in her heart, it's too good.

"Isn't this illegal?" Ju An asked.

Tommy smiled and said: "Pay attention to the definition of automatic weapons in the law, that is, pull the trigger once and then pass without human hands. Here your left hand is moving, so you have not violated the legal definition at all, it is legal."

Tommy showed it to Ju An, and Ju An also tried to hug him for a while, feeling much slower than Tommy.It sounds easy, but it's actually harder to do.

Tommy went on to say, "Wait a minute, I'll get you a gun butt and you can shoot."

Ju An stood and waited for less than a minute, and Tommy came back, put a special stock on the gun, and handed it to Ju An: "This is a single shot, this is a burst, try it."

Ju An took the gun. The original stock was like a spring, which could be stretched and retracted. Ju An pulled the trigger, da da da, and a shuttle of bullets went out instantly.

"Is it legal to play like this?" Ju An looked at Tommy in surprise and said.

Tommy shrugged: "It's totally legal, I'm not going to explain the law to you."

This is exactly the heifer taking the big tripod, the cow is soaring to the sky, "So how much does it cost to add this gun stock?" Ju An asked.

"$260 for a gun stock," Tommy said.

"Give me two clips," Ju An said.

Tommy looked at Ju An and said, "Let's get you a 260-round drum drum, so you can enjoy it more."

"Okay then" Ju An nodded.

After sweeping a big drum with great interest, the handle was all smashed. This time, the accuracy was much worse, and there was no way to make it more enjoyable.

The game is almost finished, I bring the gun to the counter and ask Tom to calculate the price. Ju An is going to buy these two guns. In addition, he is equipping the M4 with two drum cartridges, so he can find a place in the ranch to do it later. It's a small shooting range, and it's more convenient to hold it by yourself.

More than 3000 U.S. dollars were exchanged for several large and small boxes, and with Tommy's help, they were all thrown into the car.

By the time they got back to the ranch, it was already noon, and Thomas and the others had already finished their meals and went back to work.

I took a few guys out of the car, and put the M4 into the tin cabinet that entered the door, which is the tin cabinet I lived in in the space, and the Remington rifle I bought for the first time in the cabinet.

Then go upstairs, put the revolver and bullets in his bedside table, and the other bedside table with his ups45.

I just made some scrambled eggs with tomatoes and made lunch with bread.

After a long search in the warehouse, I found a metal sheet half a person high, and then found a few thick wooden slivers. While ordering the wooden slats on the iron sheet, Thomas walked in.

Looking at Ju An ordering wooden sticks on the iron sheet, he said, "An, what are you doing?".

Ju An said: "I'm nailing a simple target. I'm going to find a place in the ranch to make a shooting range. In the future, I don't have to go to the town's shooting range to practice, and I can just play at home. How good."

"Oh, that's not bad, it just so happens that we are going to play two games in our free time." Thomas came over and helped Ju An to stabilize the wooden stick.

"I didn't see you carrying a gun," Ju An said, looking at Thomas.

Thomas smiled and said: "I brought two guns, a shotgun, and a revolver. You didn't pay attention, they were all in my house. Wynn also brought a revolver. As for Nancy, it seems that he brought a pistol. , the last time I went to see my boyfriend, I saw her put in the car."

Ju An nodded, no wonder the number of shootings in the old beauty is high. There are only four people in this ranch, but there are seven guns.

With the help of Thomas, the simple target was completed soon. Old Thomas also painted a few circles with spray paint on it. Although it was not very round, it was meaningful.

Thomas said: "I do know that there is a good place at the foot of the mountain over there. It's not far from where we live and it takes 5 minutes to ride a horse. Go over and have a look. If you want to agree, you can put it there."

"Okay, let's go and see." Ju An agreed.

Thomas followed up: "Then let's prepare the horse first, and then get the gun."

The two prepared their horses and each took their guns, and let Xuehua carry the big brand. Ju An took the revolver and his own rifle, and Old Thomas only brought his own shotgun.

In a short time, the two of them arrived at the place Thomas said. The hilly area at the foot of the giant house has two small slopes on both sides, the front is the foot of the mountain, and there is a small valley in the middle, and the grass around it is very low. The line of sight is also good. Not far from the front is a huge maple forest, and each tree needs to be embraced by two people.

Ju An was very satisfied with this place, put the target at the foot of the mountain, took out the shovel he was carrying, dug a hole, inserted the target into it and filled it with soil, and the simple shooting range was completed.

Ju An signaled Thomas to come first, but Thomas did not refuse. He took the shotgun from Jefferson's back, loaded the bullet skillfully, took aim, then pulled the trigger, then retracted, loaded, aimed, and shot down and fired in a series. After a dozen or so rounds, they were all near the black spot in the painting.

Thomas then signaled for a hit.

Ju An took aim, bang, retracted, aiming, bang, and shot about ten rounds, but his results were not as good as Thomas's. Only three methods were hit in the first circle, and the rest were in the second to the first round. between three circles.

Thomas asked: "Don't you like to shoot targets very much, but it's not good to be accurate."

Ju An replied: "I just came here to go to the shooting range to shoot once. I used to shoot five bullets during military training in the university."

"Is there no shooting range in China?" Thomas asked curiously.

"I haven't been there, and I don't know if there is a shooting range." Ju An waved his hand.

"I know China is banning guns, I just wonder how Chinese people protect themselves when they are in danger," Thomas said.

"I heard that some lawmakers have proposed banning guns, but big arms dealers don't agree, right?" Ju An was reluctant to discuss this topic.

Thomas looked at Ju An with a surprised look: "It was some congressmen who proposed banning guns, not because the big arms dealers disagreed, but because American citizens disagreed. Only people can kill people. How can guns kill people? It is a citizen's right to keep guns. The right to supervise the government and prevent the government from acting recklessly is the real thing. Washington DC once strictly banned it for a period of time, but the crime rate has actually increased. Banning guns only makes the good people lose their right to protect themselves, because the bad people will always get it from other channels. Guns, it's not fair to good people."

Ju An listened to Datong, and when she thought about it, it really made sense.

Then the two of them continued to play for a while, consuming [-] bullets before going back.
