5: New weapon testing, the trajectory is too far off?

Outside the Research Institute.

At the firing range.

The steel plates produced by Guo Li Steel Factory were placed on a stand and secured.

Three hundred meters away.

A soldier was lying prone on the ground.

He held a black, large-caliber sniper rifle, aiming at the steel plate in the distance.

The gun in the soldier's hand was the subject of this experiment.

It was the latest large-caliber sniper rifle developed by the Research Institute.

This gun was different from other ordinary sniper rifles.

The materials used for this large-caliber sniper rifle had undergone special treatment.

Both the bullet material and the gunpowder filling quality were greatly improved.

Theoretically speaking.

Its power.

Was enough to rival the Barrett developed by Eagle Sauce.

In fact, the power of this gun was even greater than the Barrett sniper rifle.

The main purpose of designing this gun.

Was to deal with special vehicles with armor, such as armored vehicles and tanks.

"Are you ready?"

Beside the soldier lying on the ground holding the gun.

Stood a man in a military green short-sleeved shirt, with dark skin and binoculars hanging around his neck.

He was the supervisor of this experiment, named Wang Hu.

Because of his outstanding scientific research achievements in recent years, he was already a major at a young age, holding a high position.

His participation was crucial for the successful development of this large-caliber sniper rifle.

And he was even a core research member.

It could be said.

This gun was his proud creation!

"Report! Always ready!"

The soldier on the ground spoke with a loud voice, his masculinity fully displayed.

"Fire!"

With an order.

The soldier lying on the ground, aiming at the steel plate, pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Bang!

A huge sound erupted, like a clap of thunder.

The soldier lying on the ground, holding the sniper rifle, was directly pushed back a long way by the huge recoil generated by the sniper rifle.

In front of the sniper rifle's muzzle, a large amount of dust was carried up by the shockwave, filling the air.

With ordinary sniper rifles.

Once a soldier was prone, the recoil was very unlikely to push him.

Not to mention that the shooter was a well-trained elite soldier.

With strong physical qualities.

However.

Even such a soldier was still unable to resist the recoil of the firearm.

The power of this newly developed sniper rifle was evident!

As the dust cleared.

Wang Hu used his binoculars to check the condition of the steel plate.

The next second.

His rough voice rang out.

"What are you doing? You missed at such a close range?"

The soldier who fired was a bit confused.

Missed?

However, the soldier did not doubt his marksmanship.

"Captain, is that possible? Although my marksmanship is not as good as the top experts, it's not bad. How could I miss at such a close range?"

"See for yourself!"

Wang Hu handed over the binoculars impatiently.

The soldier then put down the sniper rifle, stood up, took the binoculars, and looked into the distance.

The scene three hundred meters away was fully visible.

On the wall of several overlapping steel plates.

There was nothing but a few scratches, not a single bullet hole appeared.

Seeing this.

The soldier was stunned.

Did he really miss?

He couldn't help but wonder.

But soon, he dismissed this doubt.

His marksmanship, while not top-tier, was still accurate.

At a distance of three hundred meters.

And with a scope, it was even more impossible to miss.

He quickly came to a conclusion.

"Captain, at such a close range, it's impossible for me to miss. Could there be a problem with the trajectory?"

"How is that possible?"

Wang Hu shook his head and denied it without even thinking.

This sniper rifle had undergone multiple calibrations.

There could be no problem with trajectory deviation.

Even if it did occur.

It wouldn't deviate that much, would it?

It was only three hundred meters.

Such a large steel plate, even if the aiming point had a deviation, it shouldn't deviate this much.

At most, it would deviate to the edge of the steel plate.

Even so, there should still be a bullet hole at the edge of the steel plate, right?

However.

The current situation was.

Aside from a little white mark from friction and discoloration, the steel plate was completely intact.

It couldn't be.

That this little white mark was made by a bullet, could it?

Wang Hu smiled to himself, this guess was even more impossible.

He personally went to get the steel plates.

And the location was still the same Steel Factory as before.

He had pulled steel plates from that Steel Factory more than once.

Almost everyone in the entire Research Institute knew.

That the steel plates from Guo Li Steel Factory were the weakest and not sturdy at all.

In the past, when testing some conventional weapons, several steel plates had to be stacked together to prevent them from being directly penetrated.

And today, testing the newly developed large-caliber sniper rifle.

He even stacked ten steel plates together.

He believed.

That with the power of the new sniper rifle, penetrating these steel plates would be effortless.

In fact.

He even felt that stacking ten steel plates was too few.

It was disrespectful to this sniper rifle.

But after all, it was a new weapon test, so they had to add them one by one.

This way, the power of the weapon could be highlighted, and it would be easier to record various data for the weapon.

"Let's try again. If you miss this shot, you'll be running five kilometers tonight!"

Wang Hu couldn't be sure, so he could only ask the soldier to fire another shot to see the situation.

Saying that.

He took out another live round from the box on the ground.

The golden-yellow bullet was a full palm's length.

This was a special bullet specifically for armor-piercing, naturally different from conventional bullets.

The bullet was chambered.

The soldier again lay prone on the ground, his finger on the trigger, concentrating and holding his breath.

He once again aimed at the very center of the steel plate.

"Ready... Fire!"

As Wang Hu's order was given.

A deafening roar once again echoed in this space.

Even Zhao Zhenghua, sitting in his office at the Research Institute, heard the loud noise.

This time.

The soldier was prepared.

But the recoil of the firearm was still something he couldn't resist.

His prone body was once again pushed.

As the dust and smoke cleared.

Wang Hu picked up his binoculars and looked again.

The steel plate three hundred meters away was still, completely intact...

Could it really be that the sniper rifle's trajectory was severely off?

At this moment.

Even someone as firm as he was couldn't help but doubt in his heart.

The soldier was a bit dizzy from the recoil.

But with tenacious will.

He still adjusted his vision through the sniper rifle's scope and looked towards the steel plate.

The next second.

He froze.

The steel plate was actually completely intact!

"Captain, there's definitely something wrong with the trajectory of this sniper rifle."

The soldier turned his head and said decisively.

This time.

Wang Hu did not retort.

He also felt that there was indeed a problem with the trajectory of this gun.

He understood his soldiers; with the other party's marksmanship, it was impossible to miss at such a close range.

The only explanation was that the gun barrel's exit was skewed.

Otherwise, this situation would not occur.

"No, I'll try again."

Looking at the new sniper rifle on the ground, Wang Hu decided to try it himself.

This time.

He would move the firing point two hundred meters forward.

Only then.

Could he know in which direction the gun barrel was skewed.

...
