Mike could put on a full-body heavy bulletproof suit and act as a human shield for Gao Guang, but he wasn't limited to just being a shield. There was a big difference between the two.

Considering Mike's physique, he had multiple options, and his future development direction was set in this training camp.

The outdoor shooting range of the training camp was much larger than the shooting club. They had all kinds of guns here, and the staff had already set up the most common firearms, waiting for Gao Guang and Mike to shoot.

Gao Guang hadn't really shot a gun on the outdoor shooting range before, and neither had Mike.

So the shooting assessment on the outdoor shooting range was a bit embarrassing.

Gao Guang's pistol was guaranteed, but his rifle skills were not as impressive. However, within two hundred meters, his shooting accuracy was guaranteed. Beyond that range, it was beyond his ability. As for using a machine gun to shoot targets four hundred meters away, there was no need to consider the results.

As for Mike, he was decent with a pistol, hitting around forty to fifty rings out of ten shots. He was also decent with a rifle, hitting around forty to fifty rings out of ten shots. At a hundred meters away, he could hit the target with three or four bullets out of ten shots. But when it came to targets two hundred meters away, no matter what gun he used, it was all luck. But he could still hit a few shots.

"Mad Dog, Mike, try shooting with an AK without any support, shoot at the pistol targets."

After Gao Guang and Mike both finished shooting a round, Thompson finally gave instructions. So Mike picked up an AK47, held it with both hands, and started shooting randomly at the targets twenty to thirty meters away.

"Change the magazine, hold the AK while walking and shooting, don't worry about how many bullets you've shot, try to hit every target, start."

Mike walked and shot with the rifle. He was still fast, but he didn't need many bullets for each target.

Taking note of Mike's performance, Thompson smiled and said, "Now switch to an M4. Don't worry about the shooting distance. Use your fastest speed to shoot all the humanoid targets. Run and shoot, fast, fast! Fast!"

Suddenly, Thompson urged Mike loudly, so Mike hurriedly picked up an M4 and started running. While running, he started shooting at the humanoid targets in the shooting range. If he missed, he continued shooting until he hit.

Several targets were hit at close range, within a few meters. But in Mike's hands, the rifle seemed to have no recoil at all. The muzzle barely moved when firing in rapid succession, as Mike suppressed it completely.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

"Stop."

Thompson called for a stop. After thinking for a moment, he pointed to an M60 machine gun and said, "Now, use the machine gun. Load a two-hundred-round belt and shoot while moving in a charging state."

There were several types of prepared machine guns, M60, M249, and the Russian PKM. Now Thompson was pointing to an M60E4 assault machine gun.

The M60 assault machine gun weighed about ten kilograms, and the two-hundred-round belt weighed over six kilograms. But Mike effortlessly picked it up and started shooting while walking. He could even run after hitting the target. If it weren't for the lack of accuracy while running and shooting, he could continue shooting while sprinting.

Gao Guang felt that the recoil of the machine gun was too strong even when it was mounted on the ground. He could handle it when holding it, but it was impossible for him to walk and shoot. His slender arms and legs were not suitable for this kind of work.

"Yeah, I'm Rambo! I'm a bloodthirsty warrior! I'm a battlefield bulldozer, yeah!"

Mike shouted like a fool while holding the machine gun and shooting two hundred rounds. Finally, he came back with the machine gun, placed it on the table, and proudly said, "This is the gun for men. Yes, I like it."

"The machine gunner has the highest casualty rate on the battlefield." Thompson suddenly added, then continued, "Not everyone who can use a machine gun is a machine gunner. A machine gunner needs a calm mind and rich experience. You can use a machine gun, but you can't be a machine gunner."

After saying that, Thompson pointed to a submachine gun on the table and said, "Now, show me how you shoot with a submachine gun using one hand."

The submachine gun was an MP7, and it could indeed be used with one hand. Of course, the accuracy of one-handed shooting was not as good as shoulder shooting, but in Mike's hands, the already compact submachine gun seemed even smaller.

Mike fired forty rounds, and he controlled the MP7 very well. The recoil of consecutive shots was also acceptable, and the hit rate was very high.

"Alright, put the gun down."

Thompson seemed to have made a final decision. He looked at Gao Guang and said, "The most suitable position for Mike is a heavy assault trooper."

"A heavy assault trooper? It sounds powerful. What does it do?"

Mike was very excited because no matter what he did, adding the word "heavy" made it sound more powerful.

"It's just an assault trooper, but your body is so strong that you can bear the weight that others can't. So you can wear full-body armor, protect your teammates, and launch assaults on enemies. The role of a heavy assault trooper is particularly prominent in indoor and urban combat. Of course, it doesn't have much significance in field battles."

Thompson explained in detail, but Mike was stunned and said, "Isn't that the same as what I used to do?"

Gao Guang couldn't wait and asked, "Then what kind of gun is suitable for Mike? A rifle? Or a machine gun, or what?""The advantage of a heavy assault soldier lies in protection. Once you put on a 20-kilogram bulletproof suit, you won't be able to move. However, it has almost no effect on him. Also, the choice of weapon depends on your tactics and the problems you face. In my opinion, Mike's use of two weapons is the most outstanding."

Thompson looked at Mike with envy and said, "One is a shield paired with a submachine gun, which maximizes the advantage of protection. The other is a backpack machine gun, which exchanges protection for absolute firepower at close range. However, as a PMC, there are few situations that require storming, and in most cases, problems that can be solved with artillery will not be forced. So, what to use depends on the situation you face."

Whether to enhance firepower or protection as a heavy assault soldier depends on the need. Yes, this positioning suits Mike well.

Mike was very satisfied with his positioning and proudly said, "That's right, I am the absolute firepower advantage. I am your guardian angel. And you, boss, what do you do?"

Thompson looked at Gao Guang, lost in thought, while Gao Guang looked curious and asked, "What's wrong? Am I not an assault soldier?"

"No, you are unique. Let me think."

Thompson rarely couldn't help but smile. He frowned at Gao Guang, but his eyes were wandering. After thinking for a long time, he finally said helplessly, "I can't accurately define your position and tactics. You are really unique."

Mike hurriedly said, "The boss just charges forward with me. When the distance is close, he uses a pistol. Isn't he an assault soldier?"

Thompson rubbed his chin and said to Gao Guang, "You are not familiar with shooting, and you haven't had long and professional training in shooting, right?"

Gao Guang hesitated and said, "No, I have shot many times in the indoor shooting range of the gun store. I also..."

Seeing Thompson's mocking smile, Gao Guang hesitated for a moment but still said, "I have also shot a few times in the outdoor shooting range. Well, doesn't that count as professional training?"

"If shooting a few shots in the indoor shooting range of a gun store counts as training, then why do police officers and agents come to us for training? Remember, you are not an Olympic shooter competing in indoor matches, nor are you a precision shooter pursuing a score of a few tenths of a point. You are a combat shooter pursuing a one-shot kill in harsh environments and extreme conditions. This kind of shooter cannot be cultivated in an indoor shooting range, understand?"

"I understand."

Thompson nodded and then said seriously, "So, it's not that you have good marksmanship, but you have absolute gun sense. However, you lack training, so you can only show your absolute gun sense at close range."

Mike hurriedly asked, "What does absolute gun sense mean?"

Thompson sighed lightly and said, "It means talent, unparalleled talent. Every shooting champion is a person with absolute gun sense. People with absolute gun sense may not necessarily be shooting champions, but shooting champions must have absolute gun sense."

Gao Guang was very excited. He knew he must have talent, but when Thompson said it, it was particularly convincing.

"Am I particularly suitable for training with pistols?"

Gao Guang asked nervously and expectantly, but Thompson shook his head and said, "The farther the distance, the more difficult the shooting. Beyond visual range, shooting becomes a test of calculated technique. Therefore, your absolute gun sense cannot be demonstrated. However, many examples have proven that people with absolute gun sense are not limited to using any specific gun. They are accurate no matter what gun they use."

After finishing, Thompson sighed and said, "So, your positioning is difficult to define clearly. I don't think it should be limited to assault or sniper. It's really hard to determine where you should appear. Any top special forces team does not lack good shooters, or I should say that in a qualified special forces team, everyone is a good shooter. But... but..."

Looking at Thompson's troubled expression, Mike anxiously asked, "But what are you trying to say?"

Thompson spread his hands and said helplessly, "But I have never seen someone with such good gun sense, someone who can use a pistol as an assault soldier without any shooting training. To be honest, this is beyond my understanding."

Gao Guang didn't feel embarrassed by the praise this time. He looked at Thompson and hoped that Thompson would praise him even more, so he would be happier.

Thompson took a deep breath and said, "Now I have a suggestion. Maybe you should first develop your shooting talent well. Don't indulge in the confidence and sense of achievement that pistols give you. You need to expand your absolute gun sense to a longer range and more types of guns. I don't know if you can become a top sniper, but I know you can turn the visual range into an absolute hit zone."

Mike looked at Gao Guang and asked, "Visual range, absolute hit zone? It sounds very powerful. What does it mean?"

Gao Guang felt embarrassed to boast about himself, but Thompson would explain for him.

"Visual range means shooting range, and absolute hit zone means that if he sees you, you're dead."

After explaining what absolute hit zone means in the simplest terms, Thompson looked at Gao Guang and said, "Don't use the guns from the training camp anymore. Bring your own gun. You have to establish a connection with your own gun. Eat with your gun, sleep with your gun, bathe with your gun, go to the toilet with your gun. Let the rifle become a part of your body, and then the bullets will fly and hit the target according to your will."Gao Guang only felt excitement when he heard it, and did not think that carrying a gun was a burden. He said excitedly, "I have an HK416. I can bring it to the training camp today."

Thompson nodded and said, "Having a real gun will enhance your training. I'll give you a leave of absence to go get your gun. Go now."
