The Strongest Soldier: From Being Specially Recruited into the Army

Chapter 26 Sniper live ammunition target shooting! (Please read it later)
The next second, Su Chen's mind was filled with a large number of memories about the use of sniper rifles and shooting, including but not limited to the use of sniper rifles from various countries in the world, as well as the ability to calculate factors such as wind speed and air humidity that may interfere with ballistics during shooting.

But Su Chen also discovered his own shortcomings, that is, he could only shoot accurately, but he had no idea about sniper tactics.

In fact, Su Chen discovered this problem when he acquired the master-level proficiency skill in light weapons shooting.

The system does not reward tactical abilities. For example, how to use a rifle to assault or how to move tactically in combat scenarios under different environments. The system did not teach him, and he still needs to learn these gradually in the barracks.

Giving him cheating assistance but not wanting him to be overly dependent on the system? Interesting.

In any case, mastering the use of a master-level sniper rifle is a happy thing for Su Chen.

This is because there is no sniper rifle, otherwise Su Chen would really be eager to fire a few shots to see!
.........

After doing a thousand push-ups in one breath, Su Chen was almost carried back to the dormitory by his comrades. He was prepared for arm pain the next day, but the result was beyond his expectations. When Su Chen woke up the next day, except for a little soreness in his arms, there was no particular pain.

Three days later, at the outdoor shooting training ground of the Sharp Knife Eighth Company, the distant mountains were covered with snow, the ground was frozen hard, and the soldiers of the Eighth Company lined up in neat formations with anticipation on their faces.

Today's subject is sniper rifle shooting training.

The Eighth Company is known as the Special Operations Company, but before it was called the Special Operations Company, it had another name, called the Sharpshooter Company.

Every soldier in the company must master the use of sniper rifles, and soldiers who meet the sniper requirements will be selected from among the outstanding shooters for advanced training to become snipers in the squad.

Company commander Shang Yong stood in front of the soldiers and spoke:
"We have new comrades joining our company. I emphasize again that sniper shooting is different from ordinary shooting. When the bullet is fired from a certain distance, it will be affected by external interference factors such as wind speed, gravity, and air humidity density, which will affect the trajectory and make it impossible to accurately hit the target.

“Learning sniper tactics is to help you understand and overcome these external interference factors, make adjustments in the shortest possible time, and use the best angles and shooting nodes to accurately hit the target.

"The mission of snipers is special. The sniper training conducted by the Eighth Company is aimed at squad snipers. Once the war breaks out, you will be thrown into the battlefield and become the enemy's constant nightmare.

"Generally speaking, squad snipers are different from special strategic snipers in that they are mainly responsible for precision strikes, battlefield reconnaissance and surveillance, fire support, psychological deterrence, counter-sniping, and retreat cover or attack on the battlefield!"

"We are learning and using the QBU-88 sniper rifle, which is the first sniper rifle independently developed in my country and the first small-caliber sniper rifle in the world to be put into active service. It has the advantages of good reliability, low failure rate, and easy to carry. It is usually equipped for use by squad snipers! Our Eighth Company's training on this rifle mainly targets targets between 400 meters and 800 meters!
"Next, each platoon will conduct a live-fire test as a squad. In this test, we will re-select the squad snipers based on your shooting results... Everyone, get ready!"

Su Chen listened very carefully to what the company commander Shang Yong said.

The first squad of the first platoon first conducted live-fire sniper target practice. Su Chen and his comrades came to the shooting area. Each of them had a magazine with 10 bullets. They shot from 400 meters to 800 meters. Unlike the chest ring target for rifle shooting, this time they shot at a human-shaped target.

The soldiers had long heard that when Su Chen was in the recruit company, he scored a full ring score with 95-1 in bad weather. They were very much looking forward to whether Su Chen would perform well in the sniper rifle again!

"Turn on the safety! Shoot automatically!--" With Shang Yong's order, the live-fire target shooting test of the sniper rifle began!

Su Chen was crawling on the ground, holding a QBU-88 sniper rifle. It was strange that although it was his first time using it, the gun felt like an old friend, full of familiarity.

Aiming at the head of the 400-meter human-shaped target, Su Chen's index finger slowly slid to the trigger, and the tip of his index finger gently and forcefully pressed inward.

The bullet rotated out of the barrel at high speed on the rifling, cutting through the air, and suddenly a hole appeared in the head of the target.

Then the gunshot rang out, "Bang!——"

After completing the 400-meter target shooting, Su Chen felt calm. He slightly turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed at the head of the human-shaped target at 500 meters. He aimed, locked, held his breath, and shot, all in one go!
"boom!--"

Once again, he hit the target's head accurately!
Thanks to Su Chen's excellent performance in rifle shooting when he was in the recruit company, the company commander and the instructor paid close attention to him. At this time, they were looking at the target where Su Chen was with binoculars. They didn't feel anything at 400 meters and 500 meters, but when Su Chen accurately hit the dummy's head at a target of 600 meters, the two company commanders were stunned!
As we all know, the maximum effective range of the 88 sniper is 800 meters, but at 600 meters, the bullet will start to drift because of its small caliber, low initial velocity and semi-automatic nature.

There is no way around it. Strictly speaking, the 88 sniper is not a real sniper rifle. It is more appropriate to describe it as a marksman rifle. Although it uses 5.8mm machine gun bullets, its caliber is only 5.8mm after all. It is mainly distributed to excellent shooters in the team.

For an untrained shooter, it is possible that the shot will miss the target at 88 meters when using the Type 600 sniper rifle for the first time.

Therefore, Su Chen hit the target's head with one shot at 88 meters for the first time using the 600 sniper rifle, which was enough to secretly surprise the company commander and the instructor!
But at this moment, with Su Chen's "bang" shot, he accurately hit the dummy's head 700 meters away, and Shang Yong and Zhao Chuan stared for a moment.

"You can hit the target with one shot at 88 meters?!" Shang Yong was stunned. "Is this kid's first time using a sniper rifle?!"

Zhao Chuan magnified the telescope and looked at it carefully. "It seems that this is indeed the first time."

Shang Yong was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Every shot this kid fired was aimed at the head. Look at the target in front of him. The bullets all landed accurately on the dummy's forehead. But this shot was a bit off, hitting the upper part of the dummy's nose bone. This shows that this shot has deviated from the position he aimed at! I estimate that when he reaches the 800-meter target, the deviation will be even greater..." Zhao Chuan analyzed.

Shang Yong took a closer look and saw that it was true. He couldn't help but grin:
"Every shot is aimed at the head. It's obvious that this kid has played too many games...!"
