One spear strike, just one spear strike, but Gao Qi felt as if his internal organs had shifted positions.
The pursuit of justice and truth came with a price. Apart from the weight, there was also the recoil. Therefore, Gao Qi decisively gave up on testing the Barrett.
After firing ten rounds with the R93, Gao Qi felt that the 8.6mm .338 La Pu Magnum round was very good. Although the recoil was strong, he could completely control it. Moreover, it was said that its power and range were very close to that of a 12.7mm round, which satisfied his pursuit of justice and truth.
Next, Gao Qi excitedly tested the R8. After firing ten rounds, he had a more specific goal. If he could afford it, he would definitely choose a shotgun that had a long range, great power, and most importantly, was very light.
Next, he tested the 7.62mm round. If it weren't for the bullets that Owen brought, Gao Qi really wouldn't know how big of a difference there would be between the 7.62mm rounds.
Gao Qi was most familiar with the 7.62x39mm M43 intermediate round, which was used for .56 semi-automatic weapons. However, there were also 7.62x35mm BLK rounds, 7.62x51mm NATO rounds, 7.62x54mm R rounds, 7.62x63mm .30-06 rounds, and 7.62x67mm Winchester Magnum rounds that were all 7.62x67mm calibers.
Owen had brought out six different types of bullets and six guns for the 7.62mm round, and this was far from all of them.
Gao Qi regretted that he had not read more military-related information before, so much so that he had said something like, "I'll look at every type of weapon." After all, it was embarrassing to reveal that he did not have enough knowledge.
Owen actually brought out all the guns for testing these bullets. Therefore, Gao Qi tested several 7.62mm rifles and had a more intuitive feeling of the differences between the bullets.
After testing six 7.62mm rifles, Gao Qi tried the 5.56mm NATO round. However, he only tried one gun before giving up.
That was because Gao Qi saw a lot of different types of shotguns.
He had used nine bullets, single-headed bullets, and ceramic single-headed bullets. These were the only three types of shotguns in Morning Light City. However, Owen had brought dozens of different types of shotguns. There were even more than a dozen types of single-headed bullets.
Especially after using a bullet called Dragon Breath, which was actually a fire-breathing bullet. Gao Qi had to admit that in terms of the variety of bullets, the difference between Morning Light City and the City of Angels was a little too big.
After shooting the shotguns, he started to test the pistols. First, he shot the 9mm Parabellum round, then the 11.43mm .45acp round. After testing all the pistols one by one, Gao Qi began to doubt his life.
Why were all these guns so expensive?
Why did they all look the same, but why were there so many differences between these guns?
Why was there a multiple-choice question?
Why couldn't he buy them all?
When a Libra started to think about which one was better, and in the end, he realized that he could not afford any of the guns. Moreover, the person he was depending on couldn't afford them either. That was a heartbreaking moment.
Gao Qi put down the gun he was holding, but he couldn't bear to put it in his hand. Holding the gun, he silently looked at the target indicator next to him.
Owen let out a long sigh and said, "You're the best shooter I've ever seen. Seventy points. Seventy points with seven bullets."
Gao Qi didn't say anything. He just looked at the gun in his hand. As expected, the best was still the 1911. In other words, the most suitable for him was still the 1911.
Owen spread his hands and said, "Your average score with the Glock 19 is 8.8 points. With the M18, it's 9 points. With the CZ75, it's 9.2 points. Twenty-five meters isn't a difficult distance, but it's very good to be able to hit it this far. However, you hit the tenth point with the M191. Is this really your first time using it?"
Gao Qi nodded and said calmly, "First time. It's the first time I used all the guns."
Owen smiled and said, "As an ordinary person, you're really very talented. In addition, I suggest that if you want to choose a pistol, the 1911 is your best choice. It has a large caliber and a strong stopping power. Although the loading capacity is indeed a lot less, in my opinion, it's much better to knock down the target with one shot than to knock down the target with several bullets."
Gao Qi noticed that Owen had said the word "ordinary person". Perhaps Owen had just said it casually, but Gao Qi's intuition told him that Owen had a deeper reason for saying that.
After hesitating for a moment, Gao Qi asked Owen, "Are you a genetic warrior?"
Owen looked at Gao Qi in surprise. Gao Qi whispered, "I'm just curious because I think you look like a genetic warrior."
Owen smiled and didn't say anything. He had tacitly agreed.
Gao Qi immediately said, "Then, are genetic warriors more accurate? Can you fire a few shots for me to see? We don't have any genetic warriors here yet. I'd really like to broaden my horizons. But if it's inconvenient for you, then forget it. "
Owen thought for a moment and didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up the Barrett that Gao Qi had only fired one bullet. Then he stood up and clipped the large-caliber rifle to his waist before firing nine shots at the target 25 meters away.
Nine shots, and every single one of them hit the bullseye until there was a big hole in the target.
Gao Qi felt a chill run down his spine. The marksmanship that he was so proud of, or rather, one of the things he relied on to survive, seemed to be worthless in the face of a genetic warrior.
Owen put down the large-caliber rifle and picked up a pistol in each hand. Then he fired with both hands at the same time. There was almost no error in the landing point of the bullets, and the two guns respectively made a hole in the two corners of the target.
After Owen put down the pistols, Gao Qi let out a long sigh.
Gao Qi didn't think there was any point in practicing marksmanship anymore. His confidence had been severely damaged.
"I'm only good at close-range shooting because I have extreme muscle stability and enough strength to control the recoil. But that's only for close-range shooting. Long-range shooting still requires talent and skill."
After calmly saying that, Owen smiled and said, "The field where genetic warriors and ordinary people have the smallest gap is shooting, so you don't have to be too disappointed. A good gunman can still pose a threat to genetic warriors."
Gao Qi exhaled and said, "How far is the distance?"
"It varies from person to person. I personally think that more than 200 meters is still the distance where skills can be utilized. Within 200 meters, uh, for genetic warriors, it doesn't matter whether they use guns or not."
Owen casually told Gao Qi a very important point.
There were no genetic warriors in Morning Light City because they didn't have the technology. However, Morning Light City had always been looking for genetic modification technology. In other words, Morning Light City would have genetic warriors sooner or later.
Gao Qi looked at Owen and said, "Then how do genetic warriors fight? Don't they use guns? "
Owen shrugged and said, "It varies from person to person. Guns are one of the most important weapons, but I prefer fists."
Gao Qi wanted to ask more questions, but at this moment, he heard Huang Fei say, "Are you done?"
Gao Qi looked at Huang Fei and saw that Huang Fei had already disembarked from the spaceship with John.
"I'm done."
Huang Fei's expression didn't look right. He was too serious. At a time like this, he should be very lively.
"If you're done, let's go. We'll come back later."
Huang Fei didn't say goodbye to John, nor did he mention anything about buying guns. He seemed to have a lot on his mind. He opened the car door absent-mindedly and silently drove away from the shooting range. Gao Qi wanted to ask what John had said to him, but in the end, he felt that it was better to keep quiet.
After being absent-minded for a long time, Huang Fei seemed to have woken up from a dream. He looked at Gao Qi and said, "Uh, we'll come back to buy guns later. Don't worry."
Gao Qi hurriedly said, "Fei Ge, let's not buy guns. There's no need at all. Any gun is the same. Why spend so much money on guns? Those shotguns are pretty good. Can we buy some shotguns?"
Huang Fei said with a sullen face, "Don't mention it. I just found out that Boss Han also wanted to buy shotguns from John. In the entire city, only our team uses shotguns. In the end, this John asked for at least ten thousand rounds, and it had to be one gram of gold per round. There was no room for negotiation. Boss Han was directly pushed back."
After saying that, Huang Fei said with an annoyed face, "One gram of gold in the city costs three hundred yuan. It's cheaper outside the city. One gram of gold is only four or five catties of grain. But now, those desolate people don't have any gold. It's already been cleaned out by the people in the city."
Zhaoxi City's currency was linked to grain. One dollar for one catty of wheat. This was the original standard that had been used until now. Now, the grain production in the city had increased, but the currency value had not changed. Grain was still very precious outside the city.
If the price of grain was compared to gold, it meant that gold in the city was very expensive, while gold outside the city was very cheap. The difference was huge, so it was inevitable that the city would use grain to clean out all the gold in the wasteland.
Then, if they used gold as currency to buy guns and ammunition, the price of the air gun shop was too high. It was so high that it was terrifying. It was no wonder that Huang Fei could not afford it at all.
Gao Qi instantly fell into despair and gave up on the idea of buying guns. Now, he was only wondering why the shotguns were sold for at least ten thousand.
"Why at least ten thousand rounds?"
Huang Fei said helplessly, "John said that after we buy them, we'll be able to copy them in a few days. In fact, that is indeed the case. At most, he can only sell us the bullets once. So, even if he only sells one round, it'll still cost him ten thousand grams of gold."
Gao Qi said indignantly, "This is daylight robbery. This air gun shop dares to be so arrogant in our territory? Speaking of which, how many guns can he sell at such an expensive price? And he's even using a spaceship to sell them all over the world. Isn't he afraid that the guns and spaceship will be robbed? "
Huang Fei said unhappily, "Of course he has the confidence. The gun shop has several genetic warriors. The key is … Forget it. You won't understand even if I explain."
Huang Fei seemed a little annoyed. He looked out of the window and said in a low voice, "I have to go look for Boss Han. No, forget it. I'm not going to look for him."
Huang Fei's uneasiness was very abnormal, but he did not take the initiative to talk about what he talked about with John. Gao Qi absolutely could not ask.
Moreover, Gao Qi felt that it was better for him to disappear on his own accord.
"Fei Ge, this place is not far from the library. I want to go there. Is it convenient for you to drop me off? I can walk back to the inner city later. It's not that far anyway. Uh, I have a certificate from the Danger Control Department. I should be able to enter the inner city by myself, right? "
Huang Fei looked at him and said, "Why are you going to the library at this time?"
"I want to see Professor Su. Didn't I stay in the inner city? I want to tell him this good news."
Huang Fei frowned and looked at Gao Qi. Then, he looked at the road ahead. After driving for a while, he suddenly said, "It's rare that you still miss your former teacher. Go and see him. I'm free now anyway, so I'll go with you."
