Chapter 8 Shooting Test
At the police academy shooting range, the trainee police officers stood in line, waiting to take the shooting test.
Perhaps because of the need to fire live ammunition, the atmosphere at the shooting range seemed very serious. There seemed to be a smell of gunpowder in the air, and even the wind blowing in the distance had a somewhat chilling atmosphere.
The firearms used in the shooting test have been placed on the table at the shooting point. They are all .38 pistols.
The full name of the .38 pistol is the Smith & Wesson M10 revolver. It is also the most common gun for the Hong Kong police. The caliber of this gun is 0.38 inches, so it is also called ".38".
Several instructors appeared at the shooting range. The leader was named Qu Mingchang, a shooting instructor at the police academy. He used to be a sniper of the Flying Tigers. Later, he was injured and could not continue the high-intensity work of the Flying Tigers, so he came to the police.
Become an instructor in school.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit tense, Qu Mingchang said, "I won't repeat the importance of this live-fire shooting test. I think everyone will attach great importance to this test.
In addition, I will add a little more excitement to this test. Next month, the police force will have a shooting competition in our school. The top three police officers with today’s test scores will be in the audience!”
"What's the viewing position?" someone immediately asked.
"He is the timekeeper at the scene and the person closest to the contestants. All participants in the competition are sharpshooters from the police force. The timekeeper can observe how the sharpshooters shoot at close range. This is a rare opportunity."
After Qu Mingchang finished speaking, he took out a form and said, "Each group of eight people will be tested. Those whose names are called will step forward for the test! Qiu Junxuan..."
Squad leader Qiu Junxuan was the first to be called. He immediately took a step forward, and then others whose names were called also stepped forward. However, neither He Jiahui nor Yu Xueli were among the first to be called.
The first batch of eight police officers came to stand at attention in front of the gun platform. According to Sir Qu's instructions, they first put on earmuffs, then checked the firearms, loaded bullets, and finally put the guns into the holsters on their waists.
These standard actions are also part of the assessment.
"Get ready..." Qu Mingchang deliberately made a long note: "Start!"
The eight people immediately started taking action, opening their holsters, taking out their guns, getting ready to shoot, aiming at the gun target ten meters away, then triggering the flight, and then aiming again to shoot the next bullet.
After firing six bullets, remove the bullet casing and return the gun to its original position.
The first round of testing for eight people was over, and everyone looked at the gun target in the distance.
"Qiu Junxuan's six shots were really good. Five of them hit area A!" Someone sighed.
"Qiu Junxuan also ranked first in the previous few tests, but at most he only had a four-gun A area. This time there is a five-gun A area. It seems that he still ranks first!" Another person said.
The gun target used in police shooting training is not a ring gun target, but a human-shaped gun target. There are no ring numbers on the gun target, but it is divided into four areas.
The first area is naturally the area outside the humanoid target, which is equivalent to the miss area.
The area within the humanoid, including the arms, lower abdomen, legs, etc., is called area C. Hitting these areas will basically not cause fatal injuries.
The humanoid target is circled from the chest to the abdomen with an oval, and the area inside is area b.
This area basically contains the main internal organs of the human body. Hitting these areas will cause relatively large damage, but it can still be rescued.
Between the chest and the abdomen, roughly where the heart and liver are, is surrounded by a small white box, which is larger than a palm. This is area a.
If it hits this area, it will damage important organs and possibly cause direct death.
It is worth mentioning that the humanoid target head is placed in area c, not area a, which has the highest score.
The main goal of police shooting training is to make the opponent lose the ability to resist, and does not encourage one-shot shooting in the head. Therefore, the training of police officers is to hit the body.
The core of the shooting test is to test the shooting accuracy, so the score for hitting zone A is the highest.
He Jiahui also looked at the gun target in the distance. He also felt that Qiu Junxuan's gun shot very accurately. Although this test was not a rapid fire test, the six bullets at 1.38 hit five A-zones, which was definitely a top result.
.
The training time for the Xiangjiang police is only twenty-seven weeks, unlike in mainland China, which requires several years of police training. During the twenty-seven weeks of training, a total of more than 280 rounds of ammunition will be fired.
Sharpshooters are all fed by bullets. With only 280 rounds of bullets, in addition to learning to aim and shoot without shaking hands, that is the level of being able to hit the target.
To say that you can shoot very accurately just by practicing with 280 rounds of bullets. Unless you have extremely high talent, it is simply impossible.
"Qiu Junxuan is very talented in shooting, and he can shoot so accurately!" He Jiahui sighed.
"I remember telling you before that Qiu Junxuan comes from a police family. His father, brother and sister are all police officers. His father Qiu Sir died in the line of duty many years ago, and his brother Qiu Junsheng is a senior inspector of Ji Ji."
Ali introduced.
"No wonder, it turns out there is a family connection." He Jiahui nodded.
Ah Li continued: "Qiu Junxuan is a master in many subjects, so his grades have always been very good. Except for physical fitness, he has ranked first in other subjects.
I originally thought that Qiu Junxuan had already decided to win the Silver Flute Award this year, but I didn’t expect that you suddenly showed up and solved a major case. I guess Qiu Junxuan’s Silver Flute Award is in doubt!"
"My test scores are far worse than Qiu Junxuan's." He Jiahui said deliberately modestly.
"The first few tests can only be used as a reference, and the later tests are more important. Good results in the past can only show that you are excellent, but good results in the following can allow your superiors to see your progress. This is also very important.
Extra points." Ali said.
At this time, the first group of eight people had left the shooting point and returned to the team. Qiu Junxuan even subconsciously looked at He Jiahui, obviously regarding He Jiahui as his biggest competitor for the Silver Flute Award.
Qu Mingchang started to take roll call again, and this time Ah Li was called by the instructor to take the test.
In the end, Ali also achieved four good results in zone A, but the aiming time was a bit long. Six bullets were fired for a full three minutes, which meant that each shot had to be aimed for thirty seconds.
"A Li, this kid, usually looks like a reckless man, but his marksmanship is pretty good. Although he takes a long time to aim, he still has great shooting talent." He Jiahui thought to himself.
After the second group was completed, Qu Mingchang began to call names again, and this time He Jiahui's name was finally called.
Qiu Junxuan's eyes fell on He Jiahui involuntarily, with a trace of nervousness in his eyes.
A friend of Qiu Junxuan comforted him: "Junxuan, don't worry, He Jiahui just solved a case and showed his face in front of Brother No. 1. In terms of performance, he is far behind you! As long as you keep doing well now."
The results and the Silver Flute Award are definitely good."
At this time, He Jiahui had already walked to the shooting point. According to the instructor's order, he put on earmuffs and began to inspect the firearm.
"This gun is quite light." He Jiahui weighed the .38 in his hand with one hand.
As a revolver, the .38 naturally has many shortcomings, such as short shooting range, weak penetration, average shooting accuracy, low rate of fire, slow bullet change, etc.
But this pistol also has many advantages, such as high stability, not easy to jam bullets, and not easy to misfire. Lightness is also one of the advantages of the .38 pistol.
The gun handle of the .38 can be replaced with rubber or plastic material, which greatly reduces the weight of the .38, and even women can use it easily.
If it is not a revolver, the gun handle is usually equipped with a magazine, so the gun handle cannot be replaced with other materials, and naturally the weight of the entire gun cannot be reduced.
He Jiahui checked the .38 in his hand, loaded six bullets, then put the gun into the holster on his waist and waited for the instructor's command.
"Get ready, start!" Qu Mingchang gave the order, and He Jiahui immediately started taking action.
Raise the gun, aim, and trigger the flight.
"Pah, pah, pah, pah!" Six gunshots were fired in succession.
It only took He Jiahui six seconds to shoot all six bullets. At this time, others were still taking aim and had not fired the first shot.
Both the instructor and the student policeman looked at He Jiahui in surprise. Even the other student policemen who were taking aim couldn't help but look at He Jiahui.
Ali suddenly looked anxious and muttered: "It's so fast, you should have taken aim before hitting!"
Qiu Junxuan breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he must be the first again.
Chapter completed!
