Gao Qi was a smart man. When he saw Huang Fei's expression, he knew that he could not afford the gun.
"Fei Ge, this gun is too heavy. You can't carry it all day."
Gao Qi put down the Barrett and picked up the McMillan TAC-50. He shook his head again and said, "No, no, it's too heavy. I can't use it at all."
Huang Fei let out a sigh of relief. John smiled and said, "We have a lightweight large-caliber rifle, but I think that the recoil and weight of a 12.7mm rifle won't be good for you, Mr. Gao. But if you're looking for power and range, well, I think a rifle that fires .338 Lap-Magnum bullets would be more suitable. Sorry, the 8.6x70mm Lap-Magnum rifle."
John glanced at the gun rack. Then, with a look of certainty, he said, "Let me think about a lightweight military rifle that has both power and range. It's also much lighter. I think an AWM is not bad. It's very accurate. Or the TAC-338, or Brassard's R93LRS2 tactical sniper rifle."
As he spoke, John took a rifle from the gun rack and placed it on the counter. He smiled and said, "You can only know if the gun is suitable for you after you try it out. But you can try the weight first. This is an R93 tactical sniper rifle produced by Brassard. You can change the caliber by changing the barrel. This one is .338 caliber and weighs 5.4 kilograms. You should be able to bear it easily."
Gao Qi picked up the gun and immediately said, "It's still a little heavy. How much is this?"
"I have to say that this gun was produced before the Cataclysm. It's almost never used. But it's a second-hand gun, so it's much cheaper. It only costs three kilograms of gold."
Three kilograms of gold. Gao Qi saw that Huang Fei's forehead seemed to be sweating slightly.
Gao Qi picked up the gun and aimed at it. He carried it on his back and tried it out. Then, he shook his head at Huang Fei and said, "Fei Ge, it's still too heavy."
Huang Fei looked at John. While he was organizing his words, John smiled and said, "Ah, I understand. You have high requirements for lightweight weapons. Then, do you have a high firing rate when using a rifle? Or do you need to keep firing during a long battle? "
"Battles are usually very short, which means that a few shots are enough to end the battle. I often hunt, and I need to carry a gun every day. That means that the gun never leaves my body, so it has to be light, the lighter the better."
In the wilderness, no one would let their gun leave their reach. Gao Qi was no exception. Since he used a rifle most of the time in the wilderness, his requirements for a sniper rifle had to be as light as possible.
John smiled and said, "I suggest you use a civilian hunting rifle. First of all, hunting rifles are very light. Most of them can be kept under four kilograms. They're easy to use, easy to maintain, and have high accuracy. Besides, they're also much cheaper."
Huang Fei frowned and said, "How can a civilian rifle do that? It has to be a military rifle."
John smiled and said, "No, no, no, Mr. Huang. It's a big mistake to say that a military rifle is better than a civilian rifle. In fact, the price range of a civilian rifle is wider. There are both expensive and cheap ones, but the most expensive ones are definitely the civilian rifles. Don't forget that the weapons issued to soldiers are often provided by the company that offers the lowest price. So, the most high-end, most expensive, and also the one that pursues the most extreme performance must be the civilian rifle."
After he finished speaking, John pointed at the R93 sniper rifle and said, "This gun is a typical example. Brassel is a company that produces hunting rifles for civilian use, but after they transformed the R93 hunting rifle into a military sniper rifle, it turned out to be the best bolt action sniper rifle in Europe. Its accuracy is very good, so this gun is known as the European Sniper King. Coincidentally, we have the R8, the replacement of the R93 hunting rifle. In terms of performance, the accuracy, power, and range of these two hunting rifles are absolutely not worse than any military sniper rifle. The shortcoming of the civilian hunting rifle is that it heats up faster if it continues to fire."
John picked up another rifle and said with a smile, "This is the Brassard R8 hunting rifle. In order to pursue a lightweight carbon fiber stock, it comes with a mechanical sight. It's a .338 caliber rifle with five rounds of ammunition. This is a product from before The Cataclysm. It's brand new and guaranteed to be brand new. It's only sold for 2,000 grams of gold."
Gao Qi picked up the R8 and took a look at it. He liked the feel of this rifle immediately.
John said in a serious tone, "The R8 is a high-end product among hunting rifles. It's the Ferrari of firearms, so this is a very fair price."
Gao Qi shook his head and said, "The price is okay, but I don't really like it."
Putting down the hunting rifle, Gao Qi said, "Fei Ge, do we still have something else to do?"
Huang Fei exhaled and said, "There's no hurry. Well, I don't like the rifle. Take a look at the pistol. Didn't your pistol jam? Change it out."
John smiled and said, "Which model do you like? I'll take it out for you, or I can recommend it to you."
"Uh … I'll leave it to you."
"The M1911. This one is definitely a work of art because it's our handmade custom-made version. There are also Glock 17, Glock 19, or military M18 pistols from before The Cataclysm. There are too many models, but I personally don't like the feel of a double-action pistol's trigger. So, my favorite is still this M1911 custom-made version. It comes with a red dot scope, so it's convenient to shoot quickly. I guarantee you'll fall in love with it too."
John picked up an M1911 with a red dot scope. Gao Qi picked it up and took a look at it. Then, he switched to a Glock 17. He immediately found that the M1911's handle was thinner and more comfortable to hold.
"How much is it?"
John smiled kindly and said, "With the red dot scope, 1,500 grams of gold. Without the scope, 500 grams of gold. The rest of the pistols are all 400 grams of gold. In fact, all the pistols here are basically priced this way. Our starting price is 400 grams of gold."
Huang Fei couldn't take it anymore. He finally said, "Isn't that a little too expensive?"
John shrugged and said, "Actually, it's not that expensive. You should know that it's very easy to make a gun these days, but it's very difficult to make a scope. The Cataclysm has destroyed almost all the production capacity for high-end optical scopes. So, scopes are very expensive."
Huang Fei said angrily, "I'm talking about the gun. Since it's so easy to make a gun, why are you still selling it at such an expensive price?"
John smiled and said, "The shipping costs are very high. The shipping costs account for a large portion of the price of a pistol. Besides, Mr. Huang, we guarantee that our guns are the best."
It was obvious that Huang Fei couldn't afford it.
Gao Qi put down the pistol and said, "Fei Ge, it's not that interesting. Let's not buy it. What's the use of this gun now? We don't need it when we're on a mission anyway."
John continued to smile and said, "A gun is a symbol of status, and it's also a reflection of taste."
Huang Fei touched his face and said, "Hmm, let me think about it. This pistol … why, do you only want gold?"
John said apologetically, "Yes, there are no cities' currencies that can be used globally. Only gold can still be used as a currency, so I'm sorry, but we only accept gold."
Gao Qi hurriedly said, "Fei Ge, Boss Han is waiting for us for a meeting right now. Let's hurry back and get the gold before we come back."
"Yeah, let's go to the meeting first. We'll come back later."
It was just a purchase. If they couldn't afford it, they wouldn't buy it. However, they still had to take care of their dignity. Huang Fei and Gao Qi both turned around to leave. But at this moment, John suddenly said, "Please wait a moment."
Huang Fei turned around and said, "What's the matter?"
John said politely, "Actually, I can give you a discount. Mr. Huang, can I invite you to sit down and have a cup of coffee so we can have a good talk?"
Huang Fei frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. We're in a hurry to go back to the meeting."
John smiled and said, "Please be sure to have a private talk with me. I have some personal matters to discuss with you. How about this? I'll prepare some bullets and let our staff accompany Mr. Gao to test the gun. During this time, the two of us can have a simple chat. Is that okay?"
"Is that so …"
Huang Fei looked at Gao Qi. Gao Qi immediately said, "I'll wait for you outside."
"Alright then. A Screwdriver, you can choose a few more models and try them all. Shoot a few more bullets. After you're done, we'll buy them later. You must shoot a few more bullets. Otherwise, you won't be able to test it."
John immediately said loudly, "Owen, come up here for a moment."
After the strong man guarding the ladder came up, John said to Huang Fei, "Owen will accompany Mr. Gao to test the gun. Please come with me."
"Wait a moment. I have something to tell him."
Huang Fei pulled Gao Qi to the side and said in a very low voice, "This foreigner has something to ask of me. You go test the gun. You'd be a bastard if you don't take advantage of this opportunity. When you're done shooting, come up to me. Don't be stupid and stop shooting after a few shots. This is a rare opportunity."
"I know. Don't worry."
Huang Fei patted Gao Qi's shoulder and said with a serious face, "If Boss Han asks, just answer him like this. Alright, go and have fun."
The strong man named Owen said to Gao Qi with a serious face, "Mr. Gao, which gun do you want to test?"
Although he was a little embarrassed, Gao Qi did not hesitate to say, "I'll take these guns. I want to try them all." Translator's Note: This chapter is sponsored by Patreon
"Okay, ten shots for each gun?"
"Ten shots … Do I need to pay?"
"Of course not. You're so funny."
"Just 100 shots for each gun."
Owen immediately looked embarrassed. Then he said embarrassedly, "You're not allowed to test a brand new gun unless you're sure you want to buy it. But how about this? If it's brand new and you don't have a test gun, you can test it with ten bullets. We have test guns. You can shoot as many as you want. Is that okay?"
"Okay, thank you. Can I choose a few more guns? Give me one of each caliber. If you choose a test gun, I won't try your new guns. But I have to test this R8. "
Owen shrugged and said, "Okay, someone will send the guns down. We'll go test it directly. Please."
The benefits of riding on the right coattails had been revealed. Now Gao Qi was very satisfied and happy.
