Struggle in the Steam Age

The joint shooting range is an underground shooting range that is not too small in size. It may be because of the participation of dwarves like Uncle Rick in the construction. The ventilation system of the entire underground shooting range is very good. Although several people were shooting in the shooting range, Lawrence didn't smell much burning gunpowder in the air.

Just as the three of them walked into the shooting range, a door at the other end of the room opened, and a man who looked like the boss also brought the customers down to test guns.

"Thirty years ago, we were still testing guns on the ground shooting range, but then the city council asked us to put the shooting range in a place where it would not interfere with others, so we raised funds to build this underground shooting range. When it was built here, everyone thought about it. Find mages to do the mute processing, but the mages charge too much." Rick shouted to Lawrence and the others at the top of his voice.

"This is already very good." Lawrence also shouted loudly, and at the same time gave a thumbs up to express his praise.

Rick led Lawrence and the others to a waiter and said a few words before they were led to an empty lane.

"This is a target-adjustable target track. The user can freely adjust the distance between the target and you within 7 to 25 meters." Rick said and pointed to a handle on the table in front of him. "One circle clockwise is to keep the target one meter away from you, and counterclockwise is the opposite. You can try the gun now. This box of thirty bullets is a free gift from me."

"Thank you." Lawrence took the pistol and the bullets in the cardboard box and came to the table. He put down the box and pressed the fixing button on the side of the gun to swing the bullet to the left, then opened the cardboard box and took out the ammunition. The copper-colored shells were loaded with lead-gray bullets one by one.

After all the six vacancies were filled, he closed the magazine back with his left hand, and then followed Lawrence's previous shooting habit in memory, holding the gun handle with both hands and aiming at the target seven or eight meters away.

At this time, he felt that after acquiring the talent of the warrior's muscles and bones, his movements were much more accurate and agile than he remembered. Whether it was raising the gun or aiming, it seemed smoother. It seems that having a good body is indeed the basis for doing many things well.

In the next few minutes, Lawrence repeatedly practiced the movements of retracting and releasing the gun. He didn't put the gun on the table in front of him until he felt that his body had regained the feeling of shooting. He stood there with his arms down and began to rest.

When he felt that he was almost rested, he took a step forward and grabbed the pistol on the table, then made a shooting posture, aimed at the target and pulled the trigger.

After a muffled bang, a bare lead bullet flew out of the barrel along with the flames. A bullet hole with a circle of black scorched marks was left on the second ring of the humanoid target.

"Putting a double-action trigger requires a lot more force than pulling a single-action trigger." Lawrence thought for a while and understood what was going on: it was obvious that he hadn't expected the difference between the two firearms in this respect. , As a result, the momentary inadaptation leads to deformation of the movement.

It's much easier to correct after you figure out what happened to this shooting error. After a pause of a few seconds, Lawrence stabilized his arm and continued to shoot.

With the bang, bang, bang of the gun, he slowly retrieved the memory of the gun in his previous body. Even because of his enhanced physique, his shooting level has improved by a whole level compared to before.

As the last bullet hit the eighth ring of the target 20 meters away, the test was completely over. When he put down his gun and walked towards the two waiting men, Edward walked over in surprise and patted him on the shoulder.

"I didn't expect that your marksmanship has improved so much recently. Last time we went to the shooting range together, you could only achieve this accuracy on a 15-meter target."

"Maybe it's because I got hit on the head these two days." Lawrence laughed at himself. "Isn't it true in the cases we've read that after a severe head injury, people will change a lot from before."

"How about this gun, little guy?" Rick walked to the table and put the gun away, then turned to Lawrence and asked. "I can assure you it's the best pistol on the block."

"I want to buy two, one for myself and the other as a gift for my father." Lawrence said that he found that the gun was really good after shooting just now, and in all fairness, this gun is also the technology of this era The highest-level pistol, if it is better than this, only magic weapons are left.

"Two, I think I can give you a discount." After speaking, he took Lawrence and the others back to the shop.

"Because this is a new gun, the price will be slightly more expensive." After taking out another identical box from the cabinet, the dwarf uncle said, "Each one costs 28 yuan, and the gun will come with cleaning tools, gun oil and 60 rounds. Since you bought two at a time, I can give you an extra 60 rounds in the armpit holster and 10 inert practice rounds."

"Sounds good." Lawrence nodded, and then he remembered what Edward said in the car earlier. "By the way, do you sell enchanted ammunition here?"

"—of course." After seeing Edward nodded slightly, Rick stroked his beard and said proudly. "My place is the only three shops on this street that can legally sell enchanted bullets, but because you don't have a license, I can only sell you exorcism bullets."

Exorcism Bullet is a special type of ammunition against all kinds of evil creatures, and has extra damage to all evil creatures. However, if it hits a non-evil creature, it is no different from a normal bullet.

This kind of bullet is one of the standard equipment of every Orthodox church. Lawrence had seen his father process this kind of bullet and provide it to the townspeople facing the goblin tide. Also because of its characteristics, this kind of bullet is one of the few enchanted bullets that can be sold publicly.

"Then how much does the exorcism bullet for this gun cost?" Lawrence asked, after all, what his adoptive father made before was only the bullets of old-fashioned firearms, which is still somewhat different from this kind of integrated ammunition.

"Two for one yuan, buy five and get one free." Rick said after hearing Lawrence's inquiry, and at the same time he took out a small iron box from under the cabinet.

There are six bullets separated by corrugated paper in the iron box. These bullet casings are no different from ordinary ammunition, but their bullets are not the usual lead gray but silver white. If you keep staring at them, you can feel the silver bullets. It seems that there are water ripples shaking.

"Give me 12 rounds." Lawrence said to Rick after thinking for a while, because he felt that if there was an emergency, 12 rounds would be enough to solve the problem, and if 12 rounds could not solve the problem, then prepare more Bullets are useless.

"Okay, I'll pack these things for you." Rick said and began to pack these things, "It's 61 yuan in total, thank you for your patronage!"

Lawrence silently calculated and nodded, then took out the check just now. "Can this be used here?"
