Americans play wildly, especially when it comes to weapons, and they have unique conditions for playing.
He can't handle guns, let alone cold weapons and ancient weapons, so the person Sean is looking for is really a master in both cold weapons and firearms. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a weapons master.
"This is Professor Gordon Fellman. Professor Fellman holds a teaching position in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology. After retiring, he created an interesting cold weapon website and has in-depth research on ancient weapons. At the same time, Fellman
Professor Mann is also very good at shooting, and he won the state shooting competition championship twice in 1998 and 2004."
Sean was introducing Gao Yi, and Gao Yi looked at the old man with the white beard in front of him in awe.
In fact, Gao Yi felt that Sean's introduction was a bit reserved. What is a weapons master? The seventy-something old man in front of him should clearly be called...what should he call him?
I'm running out of words, I don't know how to describe it.
Gao Yi stretched out his hands, held Gordon's hand, and said sincerely: "Hello, it's such an honor to meet you."
Gordon shook hands with Gao Yi, and then he smiled and said: "Hello, are you ready? I can't wait. Let's go test it quickly."
Gao Yi was a little confused because Sean didn't tell him what he did, so he didn't know what twists and turns there were.
Sean smiled and said: "Help me take the war hammer down. The test dummy is ready."
Gordon laughed on the sidelines and said: "When you proposed to test the damage done by Eastern Warhammer to modern body armor, I became interested. I thought it would be an interesting experiment."
Sean and Gordon loaded the boxes while chatting and laughing. Gao Yi loaded up the largest box and followed them around a barn-like building to a shooting range.
Gordon's home is in the outer suburbs of Los Angeles. It can be considered a wilderness. Behind the house is a hilly area with many iron targets. But now there are six dummies on the shooting range, four of which are wearing body armor and helmets.
.
It's the kind of scientific research-grade dummy specially designed to test the degree of injury. It has bones, internal organs, blood, and transparent skin and muscles. It looks a bit scary.
This kind of dummy often appears in MythBusters and knife-forging competitions.
And this kind of dummy is very expensive.
Sean wanted to give Gao Yi a surprise, but he couldn't keep it a secret at this time.
"I discussed with Professor Fellman online for a long time, and then I bought a dummy, a body armor, and made a hammer to test which hammer can cause the most damage to the human body protected by the body armor."
Sean spoke very calmly, but Gao Yi sighed secretly and said to Sean: "You are serious."
Gordon Fairman was more eager than Gao Yi and Sean. He put down the hammer and said: "Let's get started. Let's start with the unprotected dummy."
"No, there's no need. Just deal with the ones with body armor."
There was nothing to say, so Gao Yi picked up the smallest handmade iron bone flower, went up and banged it against the dummy's helmet.
The helmet was not broken, and there was no obvious damage to the dummy's skull, but there was bleeding on the dummy's brain.
Gordon said: "The helmet has a very good protective effect. This will cause a concussion, but it is not a fatal injury."
Gao Yi put down the fancy hand hammer. It was indeed too light and not powerful enough for targets with a buffer layer inside the helmet.
Pick up the smallest tactical hammer and hit it immediately. The symptoms of head bleeding on the same dummy that were hit are more obvious. It should lose the ability to move, but there is no guarantee that it will lose the ability to move.
This is a 2.2kg tactical hammer. The total weight is much larger than a manual hammer, but the all-steel handle accounts for a lot of the weight. The real lethality is not necessarily much greater than a manual hammer with a wooden handle.
Gao Yi switched to No. 2 hammer, which weighed 2.7 kilograms, which is five kilograms and four taels.
Although the total weight only increased by one kilogram, the handle is the same and the weight is added to the hammer head.
After this hammer blow, the helmet worn by the dummy was not damaged and the skull was intact, but the brain immediately turned into chaos. In other words, even if it was wearing a helmet, the dummy would be killed immediately after this hammer blow.
A hit on the head was definitely enough. Gao Yi picked up the hammer and hit the dummy's body armor hard.
The body armor without the bulletproof inserts was slightly dented, but the dummy's chest and internal organs were completely smashed. Even with this blow, a real person wearing a body armor would be dead.
"Wow, what an amazing blow, the impact of the war hammer is really powerful."
Gordon Fairman kept exclaiming, as if he was very ignorant. Gao Yi carried the hammer to the next dummy. He did not hit the head because the helmets were all the same, but the body armor worn by this dummy had a piece of
Bullet-proof insert board.
Bulletproof inserts are made of different materials, including ceramic and steel. Sean bought the common boron carbide bulletproof insert.
With this hammer blow, the boron carbide bulletproof insert plate was slightly damaged, but the dummy suffered almost no damage.
If you hit the helmet, you will die, if you hit the arm, you will break, if you hit the legs, it will be broken, but if you hit the torso protected by the bulletproof plate, it will be useless.
Gao Yi switched to the largest short-armed hammer, but the result was the same, unable to break through the defense at all.
Even if you replace the hammer with a soft handle, it will still be the same. No matter how big the hammer head is or how hard you use it, as long as there is a bulletproof insert plate, the dummy will be shaken at most, but the internal organs will not be fatally injured.
Without fatal injuries, you will not lose the ability to move instantly. Having the ability to move means danger.
It doesn't matter whether it's a level three insert or a level four. As for the heavy-duty body armor that covers almost the entire torso, it will be fine.
However, as long as a long-handled hammer is replaced, even a 50-centimeter hammer with the shortest handle, even though it cannot break the bullet-proof insert plate, it can severely shock the dummy's internal organs.
A hammer is enough to cause fatal damage.
However, the weight of the hammer heads is almost the same, and there is only a difference of twenty centimeters in length, which is a very big change.
Gordon Fairman has a very professional and detailed explanation, because things like force arm moment are originally very simple, but Gordon did the experiment from the perspective of verifying the lethality of ancient weapons, but Gao Yi really did it for
Finding a suitable weapon naturally makes a huge difference.
The long-handled hammer is very powerful, but it is difficult to carry.
Gao Yi decided that from now on, the No. 2 short hammer will be the main use. As for the soft-handled hammers and long-handled hammers, they can all be left idle.
After Sean and Gordon smashed a few more hammers with their own hands, and the experiment was almost complete, Gao Yi finally found an opportunity and said to Gordon Fairman: "Professor, I have a question.
you."
Gordon was in a good mood. He smiled at Gao Yi and said, "What's the problem?"
"I am very obsessed with shooting and have been practicing for a long time, but my shooting talent is limited. Although I practice very hard, I still can't see the hope of breakthrough, so I want to know if there is any way to make up for it with equipment.
What about the technical shortcomings?”
Gao Yi's question stunned Gordon.
After thinking for a moment, Gordon frowned and said: "The shooting sport must have a lot to do with the quality of the firearm, but the upper limit of a shooter still depends on the person rather than the gun. The simplest example, in terms of horizontal comparison,
The same gun behaves completely differently in the hands of two people."
Gao Yi was a little helpless. Even Gordon said so. It seemed that there was really no hope of achieving the achievement of a sharpshooter by changing guns.
But Gordon changed the topic and said: "But in terms of vertical comparison, if you use a customized modified 1911 to shoot, the results will definitely be much better than using an original 1911."
Gao Yi gained some confidence again and said: "Then a good gun will definitely be useful?"
"Of course, but it depends on how big a breakthrough you want."
"Is it possible to upgrade from an ordinary gunner to a good gunner?"
Gordon said without hesitation: "I don't know your shooting level, your training intensity, or your training methods, so I can't draw a conclusion."
Okay, I still can't draw a conclusion.
At this time, Sean smiled and said: "He has only been exposed to shooting sports for a short time. Maybe he will improve in the future, so he urgently needs to find a gun that suits him and can accompany him throughout his life."
Gordon nodded, and then he suddenly said to Gao Yi: "Are you Chinese?"
"Yes."
Gordon looked like he was reminiscing and said: "I have a student, he is a Chinese student studying abroad. He designed a new type of muzzle brake that impressed me deeply. It is very novel and beautiful.
On the basis of having good flame suppression effect, it can also effectively reduce the recoil of the muzzle brake, and it is used on small rifles.”
Gao Yi didn't understand why Gordon suddenly mentioned his students. He asked curiously: "Then what?"
Gordon smiled and said: "He once asked the same question as you. He was concerned about whether an ordinary person could become a sniper, and he was very talented in firearms design. After graduation, he went to Texas to build a sniper with his friends.
I have a studio that designs and processes firearms, and it seems to be doing pretty well. I think since you have the same needs and doubts, maybe you can ask him."
Gao Yi was excited, and he immediately said: "Great, do you have his contact information?"
Gordon shrugged and said, "His name is Li Jie. I can give you his email address, and then you can ask him your questions. Maybe he can give you a satisfactory answer."
Gao Yi immediately looked at Sean.
This Li Jie is in Texas, which is a bit far away. If he goes to see this Li Jie, he will have to delay his trip to Europe, so Sean seems a little worried.
Gao Yi's heart softened and he said: "Just ask first, just ask. If you really want to do something, let's wait until I come back from Europe."
Sean was relieved, and he immediately said: "Okay, contact us immediately. We will contact him after we get back. In fact, you can also go to Texas to meet him. We are not short of a day or two."
