1855 United States Tycoon

Shooting at a distance of 600 meters is quite difficult even for a modern sniper. Of course, those who used heaven-defying assault snipers during the Anti-Japanese War can explode the Devil Soldier’s head with a single shot from the Fantasy Class at a distance of 800 kilometers. The sniper is an exception. Mason took a serious look, then knelt down and carefully opened a long suitcase.

The suitcase contained a rifle with a scope. This is a special rifle. From the appearance, apart from the addition of a scope, this gun is not much different from the general Macdonald 1857, but Mason knows that this gun is absolutely different from the general Macdonald 1857. It's not the same, just a completely different new gun.

First of all, the caliber of this gun is completely different from that of McDonald's 1857. This is a rare small-caliber rifle (according to the standard at the time). The barrel caliber is only 0.3 inches (7.62 mm), compared to the common ones in this era. 0.63 inch caliber rifle, this caliber is really too small. When I saw this gun for the first time, Mason even wondered how to guarantee the power of such a small caliber?

But after the test shot, Mason was shocked by the accuracy and power of the gun.

First, they tested the power. At that time, the guy from the McDonald’s Infantry Weapons Company’s testing department placed a thick pine wood at a distance of 500 meters, and then asked Mason to shoot at the board, and then the woodworker We saw the piece of wood along the direction of the bullet hole in the wood, and measured it with a ruler. Good guy, this 0.3-inch bullet penetrated 400 millimeters of pine.

This result made Mason almost couldn't believe his own eyes, even those 0.63-inch caliber bullets could not have such penetrating power. The next test of accuracy amazed Mason. When testing on a fixed gun stand, under windless conditions, even at a distance of 1000 meters, the bullet can effectively hit the head target. Of course, changing to a shooter to shoot will definitely not be able to achieve such results, but at a distance of 600 meters, it can still shoot hostile targets effectively.

In order to improve the accuracy of shooting, this rifle does almost everything it can do. Although its caliber is small, its weight is not lighter than the McDonald 1857 rifle, which uses 11mm caliber bullets. It is even heavier. Because heavier weight helps improve accuracy. The impact of the force exerted on the bolt on the muzzle, the stroke of the bolt was greatly lengthened, so that the gun actually required the shooter to pull the bolt twice to fire a bullet.

It’s just that the price of this gun is surprisingly high. The McDonald’s Infantry Weapon Company actually offered it a sky-high price of US$1,500. This made Mason, who was originally fond of this gun and prepared to buy one by himself, immediately dismissed it. Got this idea. What’s worse, this gun is not only surprisingly expensive, but the bullets it uses are also not cheap—for every bullet, McDonald’s Infantry Weapons Company thinks that it pays a high price of one dollar. You know, the price of other rifle bullets is enough to buy 40 or 50 rounds. For the average person, this gun can neither be bought nor used.

Such an expensive gun has attracted a lot of attention once it was launched, but although there are many people paying attention, there are very few people who are really willing to buy it. In fact, there are guns with similar prices to this gun, but those carved with gold and silver and inlaid with various gems are not so much guns as firearms.

Of course, Scrooge now came up with such a thing, and did not expect to make money from it. For Scrooge, the purpose of this thing was mainly to raise the grade of its own products. In fact, in the 21st century, many so-called high-end goods are actually high prices to a large extent. For example, Pagani's sports car is really better than Porsche? It's just that the price is high and it is easy to install B. In contrast, Scrooge was kind, at least, the performance of this gun was truly unparalleled in the world at the time.

This gun was lent to the "Blackwater" company as an experiment, and there was only one in the escort team. Of course, this gun will be used by Mason, who has the best shooting technology.

Mason carefully took the gun out of the box, opened the barrel, and loaded it with a special bullet-this bullet was nicknamed "Golden Coin Egg" by the guards because of its high price. He carefully loaded the bullet into the barrel, ready to shoot, and then carefully extended the gun from behind the baffle.

The target 600 meters away, even in this so-called MacDonald 1857 precision shooting type 8x scope, is not much. Mason first took a few deep breaths to slow down the speed of his heartbeat-even the vibrations caused by the pulse would affect the accuracy of shooting, then he held his breath and put the cross in the scope firmly. On the Indian chief whose head was full of turkey feathers.

Mason pulled the trigger slightly, and now the rifle has entered a real ready-to-fire state. At this moment, an Indian riding a horse suddenly broke into Mason's scope and blocked Mason's shot.

Mason did not drop the gun and spit out a lot of words starting with F as in some movies. The precise shooter must ensure emotional stability. The fierce emotions will only make the shot bullets do not know where to fly. Went.

The man shook a bit to make room for a little bit, just to expose the Indian chief half, but in a blink of an eye, he closed the gap again.

Mason didn't catch the gap and shoot. The muzzle velocity of the McDonald 1857 precision shooting bullet is as high as 820 meters per second, and it only takes less than one second to fly to the target. However, the existence of this gap may not last for less than one second. In fact , The man immediately blocked the chief firmly again, if he shot just now, it must have been this guy.

A flaming gun flew past Mason's head. Mason remained unmoved and continued to aim. This kind of composure greatly admires the immigrants on the sidelines. However, they didn’t know that the reason Mason was so calm was because he didn’t even know that there was a shotgun so close to his head—one of his eyes was fixed on the scope and the other was closed. All the attention is on the target, it is impossible to notice a shot of a gun flying by him.

At this time, maybe the chief just said something to the man next to him. The man ran to the other side with his legs and the belly of the horse, so the chief was completely exposed to Mason's vision. NS.

"Good opportunity!" Mason thought. In fact, he was aiming very accurately, so he held his breath and pulled the trigger gently—"Boom!"

Then Mason looked through the scope and saw the Indian chief's body shook fiercely, then tilted to the right, and fell down from the horse's back. A group of Indians immediately surrounded...

Mason squatted down immediately. It was obvious that he had successfully hit the target. As for whether he was killed or the distance was too far, she did not see too clearly. However, considering the power of the gold coin bullet and the Indians' backward medical treatment, he felt that the chance of the Indian chief surviving was not high. If there is a chance to be able to make up another shot, or if several shooters use this rifle to shoot the target at the same time, it will be safer, but now, Mason can only do so much.

The Bull Chief was suddenly hit by a bullet, causing the Indians to fall into chaos. Many cavalry who were spinning around the car formation involuntarily slowed down, and at the same time retreated to the outside. All the Indians turned around and looked at the place where the Chief was originally.

"If you still have a team of cavalry in your hand, you can rush out now, and with a single blow, you can completely collapse these Indians!" Robson couldn't help but think like this when he looked at the situation in front of him. But he immediately realized, what do you think about these useless things? So he issued the order:

"Let's call the chief dead!"

The guards did not speak the language of the Sioux, but before they set off, they memorized a few sentences, one of which was "The chief is dead! Run!"

Before the war, the guards also taught this sentence to the immigrants, so everyone shouted together in a variety of non-standard accents, and this added to the panic of the Indians. Taking advantage of this time, the guards who used the McDonald’s 1857 rifle began to break through the restriction of not shooting targets at a distance of 400 meters, and began to initiate against the Indians who seemed to be still within range, who looked like small bosses. attack. The Indians felt that they had run out of a safe distance and were strangling their horses to look towards the chief. Suddenly they were shot this round and several more were hit.

At this time, an Indian cavalry in the distance ran over and shouted while running. Then the Indians immediately made a mess. They dropped some of the dead bodies, mounted their horses and galloped away.

If he was still in command of his own cavalry company, Robson would definitely be chasing after him. He just ordered the continued vigilance, and at the same time began to count the losses from the battle.

In a woods about a kilometer away, a gangster was quietly lying in ambush here. The gang leader himself climbed onto the tree and watched the entire battle with a telescope. When the Indians retreated, he jumped from under the tree.

"Boss, are we going to do it?" Some gangsters who were boring and sharpening knives on the rocks quickly stood up and asked.

"Pack things and go back!" the boss said, "The idea is very difficult, the Indians have suffered a big loss, and we can't ask for it.
