Chapter 292 291. Accept Inspection (2)
Using a crossbow is simpler than using a firearm. Relatively speaking, the recoil of a crossbow is smaller and the trajectory is easier to control.
Li Du aimed at the target and pulled the trigger. With the vibration of the crossbow piece, a sharp arrow flew out with a 'swoosh'.
He blinked his eyes, and the sharp arrow had already been inserted into the target twenty meters away!
"Papa papa." The shopping guide applauded vigorously.
This crossbow is equipped with a quiver, which can hold eight sharp arrows, but it cannot be fired continuously, and the automatic loading speed is relatively slow, and it takes five or six seconds to load successfully.
Li Du shot all eight crossbow arrows on the target, and said, "Except for the slower loading speed, everything else is fine, buddy, it's a good thing."
The shopping guide said: "If you want it to have a faster rate of fire, then you can replace it with marbles, which can increase the rate of fire several times, and its loading speed is very fast."
Compared with the quiver, the magazine is smaller, but has a larger ammunition capacity. A box can hold 80 rounds of marbles.
The loading speed has also been accelerated, it only takes one second, and the automatic loading can be completed with a 'click'.
However, the shooting distance of the marbles is much shorter, 40 meters is the limit, and the ballistic trajectory is not easy to control, and it is very difficult to hit the target beyond 30 meters.
Li Du felt that this was enough. His target was pheasants and hares, but he didn't want to hunt wild wolves or wild boars, so this thing was more useful to him than a gun.
After trying it, he decided to buy one. This one does not require a green card, as long as you have a hunting license, you can buy it.
The price of the crossbow is not cheap. The crossbow itself costs 600 yuan, plus accessories such as infrared mirrors, sights, and lasers, it is close to 800 yuan.
Even more expensive are the arrows, which cost 24 yuan for a dozen, which means that each arrow shot costs two dollars, not including the wear and tear of the crossbow itself.
Hans bought a Remington 700-B, which is a sniper rifle with a scope and has a huge reputation among American folks.
In addition, the Remington 700-B can be upgraded to become the Remington 700-PP, which is the standard sniper rifle used by the Arizona State Police.
Li Du used to hear that buying a gun in the United States is as easy as buying vegetables, but after this personal experience, he found that it is not easy, and it is actually quite troublesome.
He didn't buy a gun, so the process is simple, all he has to do is show his license and fill out a form called form4474.
This form is a paper material for background checks, and the serial number of the weapon will also be recorded, so that if something goes wrong, the responsible person can be traced in time.
It was troublesome for Hans. He had to show his driver's license, his gun certificate from the local police station, and fill out several documents, including those from the FBI, the police station, and the National Guard.
The completed materials will be organized into a file, which will then be reviewed by several departments.
After all goes well, the buyer can get the gun. Among them, a concealable weapon such as a pistol will take a long time to review.
However, Veteran's World is an old-fashioned gun store, and the materials submitted have priority review rights.
In this way, the two stayed in Phoenix for one night, went through the formalities of buying a car and got the car, and got the gun from Veterans World in the afternoon.
The price of the Hellcat is 105,000 yuan, which belongs to the ranks of high-priced luxury cars in the United States. Driving it on the road, the rate of return you can enjoy is not comparable to that of ordinary luxury cars.
Hans was sitting in the co-pilot, carrying a gun, wearing sunglasses, and smoking a cigar. His shirt buttons were unbuttoned deliberately, showing the attitude of a gangster.
A police motorcycle drove up from behind, and he was so frightened that he quickly threw the gun into the back seat and fastened the buttons, but the police ignored them and continued to whistle and leave...
After returning to Flagstaff City, Hannah was very envious when she saw the Hellcat, and said, "Wow, this guy is so powerful, he is really a bad beast."
Li Du touched the front of the car and said with a smile: "If you drive it, you will know it, it will feel better."
For the rest of the afternoon, Hannah and Hans drove around on the road.
Then, by the time they got back, the hundred-dollar gas burnt out...
During the weekend at the end of July, Li Du, Hans and Godzilla set off fully armed, with the goal of the Grand Canyon National Forest Park.
"There will be a lot of people participating in the hunting event today, and there will be some idiots among them, remember to ignore them, because we all have guns." Hans warned.
Li Du said: "Don't worry, I'm a good man and I will never conflict with anyone."
Entering one of the entrances to the Grand Canyon forest, a helicopter flew over their heads.
Li Du looked up and said, "What kind of plane is this? It belongs to the Forestry Bureau or the Environmental Bureau?"
Hans said: "Neither, this is obviously a private helicopter, they are here for helicopter hunting."
Helicopter hunting is an activity of contemporary aristocrats, and only the top rich can afford it. It’s not that helicopters are expensive. In fact, many Americans buy airplanes.
However, helicopter hunting requires a special license, because in this mode, the field of view is good, the transfer speed is fast, and air-to-ground strikes are inherently advantageous. Once the beast is targeted, there is no way to run away.
In order to protect the animals, special certificates are required to use helicopters for hunting, and the purchase price is very expensive, at least thousands of dollars.
Some people may be willing to spend 100,000 yuan to buy a private helicopter, but few people are willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy a hunting license to hunt.
The Hellcat drove into the parking lot of Forest Park. Li Du got out of the car and started to make preparations. At this time, a voice sounded from behind: "Hi, Li, are you here?"
Li Du turned his head in astonishment, and then saw a familiar face, Sophie's father, James Martin.
The little old man was smoking a pipe, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons as usual, and he was holding an old-fashioned shotgun in his hand. There were several little old men around his age.
Li Du quickly raised his head and chest out his spirits: "Oh, Mr. Martin, hello, it's a pleasure to see you here. That's right, my friend and I want to come and relax. It's great to meet you."
Mr. Martin smiled even more happily. He nodded his fingers and said, "Yes, hunting is a good and relaxing activity. It's fun, and I wish you a lot of harvest."
After finishing speaking, he smiled at his old friend: "This is Li, an excellent Chinese boy, a good friend of Sophie, he is very good at cooking, and Sophie likes to eat the dishes he cooks."
The gazes of several little old men shifted, and Mr. Li raised his head and chest even harder, holding the crossbow arrow tightly on his chest with both hands.
Hans leaned on the front of the car and smiled, "Hey, brother, are you participating in a military parade?"
Hearing this, the little old men laughed, but seeing Hans, one of them stopped laughing and said, "Are you that little bastard from the Fox family?"
Hans shook his head and said, "No, no, you are mistaken."
The little old man widened his eyes and said: "Admit it? I'm not old-fashioned yet! You are the Fox family boy!"
Hans said: "My surname is Fox, but I'm not a little bastard."
Li Dula drove the door and stuffed him in, brother, you should say a few words less!
