Chapter 57 Equipment upgrade!
After confirming that you want to take on the task, the next step is to prepare for the task.
With operating costs of 350,000 yuan in hand, Dongfeng Corps will definitely spend it.
And the first thing they used this money was to repair their only vehicle.
The Warrior off-road vehicle is equipped with a 3.2T supercharged intercooled diesel engine with a maximum torque of 330 Nm and a load capacity of 1.5 tons. Actual measurements show that even with a load of 2 tons, the performance degradation of the vehicle does not exceed 30%.
This is a true "warrior" among domestic military off-road vehicles, and it also carries the military memories of an entire generation.
Chen Chen has a lot of affection for this car. Although his main car later became the Warrior, this little pickup truck still made him dream of returning to Glacier countless nights after he retired.
Therefore, when there was no better vehicle to replace, Chen Chen chose to upgrade the Warriors without hesitation.
First, the third row of seats was removed, the frame was re-welded, and a Type 85 heavy machine gun with a rotating gun mount was installed. The horizontal firing range reached 360 degrees, and the elevation firing range was plus 75 degrees and minus 30 degrees.
But the problem is that the space in the third row of the Warrior is too small - in fact, it is the level of a trunk, so it is extremely inconvenient for the machine gunner to adjust the shooting angle in a wide range.
But Chen Chen didn't have any good ideas for this. He couldn't get a ring gun mount like the Hummer, so he had to make do with it.
In terms of protection, machine gun shields must be installed. The entire vehicle also has bulletproof steel plates welded to the doors, and armor is installed at the front of the vehicle - mainly to balance the weight of the front and rear of the vehicle, because a set of Type 85 is too bulky. It's heavy.
After such a complete set, the Warrior's load capacity has been completely reached, reaching the performance limit of 1.5 tons.
But fortunately, except for a bit of roar when starting, it is still very smooth to drive.
In addition, Chen Chen also replaced the car with four run-proof tires - these were removed from the bulletproof cars of some local bosses. After some adaptation and adjustment, they were actually usable.
The entire renovation cost a small 10,000 dollars, and the materials were not too expensive, but there were not many repair shops that could do this job, and the labor costs were really sky-high.
However, if it can be corrected, it will still be good.
Bao Qi couldn't put it down - so this illustrates a problem. Men love to play nurturing games.
They prefer to cultivate beauties with big breasts and big butts from a young age rather than beauties with big breasts and big butts who have perfect conditions from the beginning.
"Brother Chen, can I be a machine gunner?"
"You can only be the machine gunner, and Li will help drive from now on. We are still short of manpower, but there is nothing we can do now."
Chen Chen scratched his head. He had the idea of recruiting someone else, but it was useless. He couldn't sit down - there was still a Jiya in the car.
Fortunately, we can still arrange it now, but after this mission is over, we will really need to recruit people.
It took several days to process the car, and Chen Chen was not idle during these days.
He negotiated with Jackal about the equipment to be purchased, and once again upgraded his own firepower and that of the Dongfeng Corps.
"The Vortex Razor side sight mount is perfect for use with your red dot."
"Trijicon ACOG TA31F 4x32, small conch, equipped with red fiber optic reticle, automatic illumination, active equipment of the US, magnification 4."
"Now, your equipment fully meets the standards of a precision shooter."
"But I'm curious, do you really need to use side sights? This thing is used more in competitions. In actual combat, I don't know how to evaluate it. Anyway, we don't use it."
Hearing Jackal's words, Chen Chen nodded slightly and did not answer immediately.
In fact, the existence of such a thing as side sighting has always been very controversial.
A considerable number of combatants believe that this thing is only suitable for competitions. In actual combat, it is either unnecessary or the effect is unsatisfactory.
After all, they are all warriors who really want to kill people with their guns, not athletes who shoot at a few fixed targets and only have ten red rings in their eyes.
In this case, the role of side aiming is indeed quite useless.
If the combat distance is very close, especially within 10 meters or less, the gunner can simply not use any sights, or just point with his thumb. When fighting CQB, there is actually no need for side sights.
Chen Chen himself is extremely proficient in CQB, and the TOB grip is written into the instinct of his brain. If we must say that in close combat, side aiming will only improve him to a limited extent.
But the problem is that this is northern Myanmar.
There is a very obvious feature in the large and small battles in northern Myanmar, and that is:
They are neither like Africa where a group of people shoot wildly across a street, nor are they like the US military in the Middle East who will extend the distance to five to six hundred meters or even thousands of meters.
The most common engagement range is between 100 and 200 meters.
And this distance happens to be the most lethal range of the red dot sight.
Therefore, the side sight, which does not require repeated adjustment of the magnification, can provide Chen Chen with effective aiming assistance, and the high magnification of the small conch allows him to quickly lock on the target when he needs to shoot accurately from a long distance.
The effect produced by the combination of the two is really irreplaceable.
——
It should be said that it is difficult to be replaced on the battlefield in northern Myanmar.
In addition, I haven't regained my "feeling" for shooting yet, so having such a set of sights can be considered a supplement.
So, he opened his mouth and said:
"Equipment changes must also take into account the battlefield environment. You are still in peace for a long time. In short, this is the best way I can find at this stage to increase the upper limit of my ability."
"It's not expensive anyway - how much did you just say?"
"The side sight frame is 400 US dollars. The original price of the small conch is more than 2,000 US dollars. I charge you 9,000. This is the lowest price. The settlement price when we get the goods from the headquarters is 7,500 US dollars. The freight and maintenance costs add up. I will give you a cent." I didn’t earn any money from you.”
"I understand, then I won't bargain."
Chen Chen said calmly.
He knew that this price was definitely the lowest price. When Jackal sold him a red dot, he charged 5,000 knives, but now he only paid 9,000 for a small conch. This shows how valuable "favor" is.
"If you keep bargaining, I really have no choice but to stop doing this business. Let's look at other equipment."
"GPS, 2,000 U.S. dollars, the market price of Mengka is the same wherever you go to buy it."
"Suppressor, I assigned you a set, SOCOM 556, paired with an SF4P muzzle flash suppressor. The silencer effect is average. As you know, any suppressor installed on the HK416 will be the same."
"However, the effect of reducing the muzzle shock wave is still very obvious. At least I think it is suitable when I use it myself."
"The total price is $2,200 for you, how about it?"
"That's acceptable. Where are the bullets?"
"Mk262 Mod 0/1 precision shooter special ammunition, 1200 rounds, 5 US dollars per round, 6000 US dollars here, and then I will allocate 600 rounds of training ammunition quota to you, but you can only shoot in our shooting range, do not take it out .”
"good."
Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then asked:
"Can't take it out, does it mean that it can't be taken out in front of you?"
"Shut up, pay your money, and get out!"
Chen Chen pursed his lips, took out the money he had prepared long ago from his pocket, and counted them to Jackal one by one.
"19,600, I'll give you 20,000, is that generous enough?"
"Dafang, tell me, what are these 400 for?"
"Give us 4 more pairs of shoes. Each person only has one pair, not enough to change."
