North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 104 Test

"The long-awaited new world record." the host shouted.

The scene was filled with cheers. This kind of record-setting competition is rare. As far as records are concerned, there may not be a breakthrough for many years.

After Jimmy saw the new world record, he no longer cared about the final championship. He probably understood the operations of these people.

The body leans backward and the right leg bends forward to make it easier to pull the revolver out of the holster and shoot. When shooting, push the crotch forward, along with the whole upper body, straighten the legs forward, and pull out the revolver with the right hand backward.

At the same time, raise the muzzle of the gun a little with your wrist, shoot when the muzzle leaves the holster, and hit the target.

Moreover, the shooter's revolver has cocked the hammer in advance, that is, the trigger stroke is only at the last stage.

With more practice in this set of movements, they should be able to become as proficient as they are, but the real test is the reaction time after seeing the light on the target.

This shooting method is not suitable for Jimmy, because he mainly performs tasks and usually draws his gun normally. This method, which requires a specific posture to draw the gun and fire quickly, is obviously only suitable for competitions.

There is another key point. Jimmy's revolver hammer is usually not in the cocked state. This is too dangerous. The reason why double-action revolvers do not have a separate safety is because when double-action pulls the trigger, a relatively large force is required. In this way

Just make sure the gun doesn't go off.

What he needs to practice is actually his reaction speed and the speed at which he draws his gun and shoots in a normal posture. There is another key point here, which is to hit the target. No matter how fast he is, it is useless if he cannot hit the target.

This kind of action of shooting directly from the crotch is usually not very accurate unless you are extremely proficient.

Jimmy watched them finish the game quietly, then took two steps forward to discuss with the host whether he could use their equipment to test his reaction speed.

This request was a bit excessive, and of course, it was rejected without any suspense.

This was not a big problem. Jimmy called Thorsten directly and asked him to ask if there was such testing equipment at the DEA shooting range.

Not bad. After a while, Thorsten called back and confirmed that there was a shooting range, but no one was using it and it was in a state of dust.

In fact, it is normal. For DEA people, the agents just practice precision. The special agents will have additional tactical training and other content. For this kind of device that purely calculates rapid fire time, they basically have nothing.

Required. The timing that agents need is usually the unified time to perform CQB or other actions, or the time to break down the steps.

I don’t know what the purpose of the shooting range was to build this equipment in the first place. Anyway, it’s now cheaper for Jimmy.

Jimmy didn't rent a car and took a taxi directly back to the hotel next to the DEA to rest. He just communicated with Thorsten that he needed to arrange for someone to receive him at the shooting range. Once the arrangements were made, Jimmy could go there by himself.

Jimmy could also understand that Thorsten couldn't take him for three days, so it would be nice if he could pick him up and arrange accommodation. This time he had to go to the shooting range by himself, and he didn't know if the people assigned by Thorsten could handle it.

Since he had to test later, Jimmy rested honestly in the hotel that day without causing any trouble. After waking up in the morning, Jimmy went out to make some breakfast, and then set off to the DEA shooting range.

Thorsten was indeed very reliable. Jimmy thought he would contact a training staff, but it turned out to be a range manager. The ranger took Jimmy to an indoor shooting range with two types of targets: 10 meters and 15 meters.

Jimmy only carried 12 rounds of ammunition, 6 rounds in the magazine, and 6 rounds in his belt. He did not bring a loader. In order to ensure that he could still use it after going out, he had to ask the administrator to provide bullets.

Jimmy first practiced aim shooting and waist shooting to familiarize himself with the feel, and then went for the test. The test equipment was the same as the target for the rapid-fire competition. There was a terminal placed on the shooting platform, and you could directly see the process from the light to the bullet impact.

Time to hit the target.

The first thing Jimmy tested was his aiming and shooting reaction speed. He raised the revolver, aimed at the target, waited for the light in the middle of the target to light up, and then fired.

Then the test was the speed of drawing the gun from the holster and shooting, and finally the speed of shooting from the waist.

"Bah bang bang!" Jimmy finished three rounds of testing, and the administrator clapped and applauded next to him.

"My results?" "Very good, come and take a look." The administrator handed over a folder with a piece of white paper sandwiched on it, and the results of Jimmy's three tests were recorded on it.

Jimmy shot three times for each test. The results of the 9 shots are recorded here, and the average value is also written below.

Aim and shoot for 0.2 seconds, draw the gun and aim for 0.6 seconds, and shoot from the waist for 0.5 seconds.

Compared with those players yesterday, Jimmy is basically ready to participate in the rapid fire trials.

This should be the result of the extra talent of the revolver. Those rapid-fire players only have the speed that they have practiced for many years. As for Jimmy, just a few adaptive exercises beforehand can reach the speed of basically participating in the competition.

This body must have undergone a very long period of training before, and the memory that goes deep into the bone marrow, pores and muscles allows Jimmy, a layman at the beginning, to have such accuracy and speed.

"Have you had any special practice before?"

"No, we usually practice shooting at the shooting range in a normal way. I am a policeman, and this shooting method is not used in our daily work."

"Then you are really talented. If you practice more, you should be able to participate in competitions in the future. If you win the championship, those girls will be crazy for you."

"Hahaha, I don't want to think about the competition anymore. I only wanted to test it after watching the rapid fire competition yesterday. This is my main gun. It's always good to learn more. Please help me time it again."

Jimmy directly loaded bullets and a loader, walked to the side track, and opposite was a normal 10-meter target. Jimmy heard a beep and started shooting, then changed the ammunition and continued. After firing all 12 rounds, he ejected the cartridge cases.

, came to the administrator.

"Very good, 5.2 seconds. The time for one round of shooting should be less than 2 seconds. It's very good. It's very close to the record."

"Oh, what's your record?"

"Not many people in our camp use revolvers. I remember that the latest world record was last year. Jerry Mikulek hit the target in 2.99 seconds with 12 rounds in 2 rounds, 6+2, and 1.06 seconds with 8 rounds."

Jimmy was speechless. The gap was so huge. Although it may seem that the gap between 5.2 seconds and 2.99 seconds is not that big, most people are basically stuck in this gap of less than 3 seconds.

"Do you know him? Can you contact him? I want to ask him for advice."

"How do I know you? I'm just a range manager."

"Oh, thank you anyway, I didn't know about these records before."

Jimmy collected the shell casings and bullets with the administrator, and then left the DEA training ground.
