Joja's dominance in shooting completely stunned Erica.

This guy, who looks like the fat guy in the movie "The Hangover," took out a simple anemometer and rangefinder to test, then recorded Joja's entire shooting process with pen and paper, finally circling the number 12.43.

After finishing, Erica excitedly looked at Joja and struggled to swallow her saliva, saying, "Can, can I see your gun?"

Joja furrowed his brows and handed Erica the SVD with the magazine removed.

Looking at this fat guy drooling and carefully examining his gun, Erica muttered to herself, "It's not like the SVD, it has a Picatinny rail installed, but the weight is off. The barrel is extended by 1.5 inches and the barrel wall thickness has increased."

After saying that, Erica handed the gun back to Joja and looked at him with extreme fanaticism, saying, "Even with specialized ammunition, the SVD can't guarantee accuracy at 800 meters, but you almost hit the same spot on the target with every shot.

This gun isn't a mass-produced one, where did you get it customized?

Tell me, tell me..."

At this moment, Joja believed that Erica had some skills. After taking the gun back and putting it away, he said, "I made it myself, including the WA2000.

The comparison between us is not about marksmanship, but about the quality of the guns. You can rest assured and try it. If my gun isn't good enough, I'll destroy it immediately."

For some people, it is more effective to overpower them in their field of expertise than to talk to them for a hundred sentences.

Erica followed Antar relentlessly, intending to disrupt her interview.

Because he knew Antar couldn't survive in a fierce battlefield, he didn't want her to work in the SD place.

Sarcasm is Erica's nature, but that doesn't mean he's a fool. This guy has a strong influence in certain areas, so he's not afraid of someone like Joja.

Otherwise, he would be stupid to argue with someone who makes a living with guns in Africa.

But now, facing Joja's miraculous shooting performance, Erica, who is passionate about shooting, changed his previous arrogant attitude and nodded solemnly before starting to install a scope on the WA2000.

Meanwhile, Nis and Antar were not idle either. The two women sat together, talking quietly and discussing while adjusting their sniper rifles.

Nis chose the G29 first, and Antar, of course, chose the AWM.

As one of the owners, Nis took on the role of observer first, holding a telescope to help Antar adjust the trajectory of the AWM.

Although Antar no longer had a thumb, her movements were still fast. She put down the bipod and then lay on the ground, firmly supporting the butt of the gun with her shoulder.

Then she placed her right palm against the grip, and her left hand held the tiger's mouth position of her right hand. The two elbows formed a tripod, supporting the grip of the sniper rifle. Although the posture was awkward, it firmly held the grip.

When Nis saw that Antar was ready, she picked up the telescope and pointed at a target specially used for zeroing at 200 meters away, saying, "203 meters, hit the chest grid, second row, second grid."

As soon as Nis finished speaking, Antar pulled the trigger.

With a "bang," a crisp sound rang out from the completely fixed target.

Nis, who had been staring at the target, said, "The bullet deviated about 30 centimeters to the upper right."

Joja saw that Antar's body shook not only because of the recoil, but also because she couldn't grip the handle tightly, causing both bipods to shift several centimeters to the side.

To hit the target with the first shot, even though it was only a 200-meter target, already indicated a lot.

Beside them, Erica held the WA2000, which had a market price of over 80,000 US dollars. When he fired the first shot, not even Nis could find the position of the bullet.

The grassland shooting range was not friendly in this aspect. If the shot missed, it was impossible to find where the bullet went.

Of course, this was a problem with the sight not being adjusted properly. However, experienced shooters like Antar could make preliminary adjustments from the beginning, so that the first shot wouldn't deviate too much.

When Erica started adjusting the sight, Antar fired the second shot, and the bullet missed the spot where her first shot hit by a small margin.

After the bullet was fired, Antar furrowed her brows and touched the barrel, then turned to Nis and said, "It really is a good gun!"

Nis nodded and said, "I've tried this gun. You don't have to worry about the issue of a hot barrel. It doesn't need to 'warm up' at all."

Joja had read many books about snipers recently, so he knew what Antar was doing.

The first few shots fired by snipers are called cold barrel shots because the barrel hasn't expanded due to heat and there are no residues of gunpowder inside, so it has a certain impact on the trajectory.

This doesn't mean that a dirty barrel is good, but as long as a barrel is in use, it will inevitably become dirty and hot, and that's its normal trajectory.Therefore, many experienced snipers would fire about ten rounds before setting off, allowing the gun barrel to enter its working state.

Of course, this is the ideal state. The top snipers are even familiar with the trajectory of their own cold gun barrels.

That's why the top snipers emphasize the concept of 'first shot hit'. In many cases, this refers to shooting with a cold gun barrel, which is the most challenging part.

Those seemingly impressive snipers in movies often fail to kill the villains with their first shot. Apart from the director's intentional arrangement, this is also the case for average snipers under normal circumstances.

Antar's two cold barrel shots hit almost the same spot, proving that the AWM in her hands is of extremely high quality.

Of course, her shooting skills are also very good.

Compared to Antar, Erica is not up to par. He fired four rounds before Nis could vaguely find the trajectory. After reporting the deviation, the fifth shot finally hit the target.

Once the reference point is found, it's much easier to adjust the trajectory.

Antar stopped after firing a magazine of five rounds, completing the zeroing of the sniper rifle.

Erica used ten rounds to complete the zeroing.

What comes next is interesting. Antar skipped the targets before 800 meters and directly chose the 1300-meter target.

Nis acted as the spotter, reporting data for her. After she adjusted herself, she pulled the trigger.

"Bang"

"Ding~"

The first shot after zeroing hit the 1300-meter target!

At this point, Joja had completely stopped paying attention to Erica. That guy was indeed a professional 'water' level, professional in words, but his shooting skills were poor.

The top-notch rifle like WA2000, in his hands, was no different from an ordinary hunting gun.

He had to guess when shooting at an 800-meter target. Obviously, a 15x scope was a bit rudimentary for him. He needed a 25x scope, and it would be best to have a bench vise to hold the gun body steady, otherwise, the bullet would always bypass the target.

After firing a few shots, this fat guy wisely shortened the shooting distance. After switching to a 600-meter target, things got a little better.

When the distance was reduced to a range that Erica could control, he realized how terrifying the extreme accuracy of Joja's WA2000 was. As long as his hand was steady, the bullet would go where he wanted it to go.

Erica, who was enjoying the shooting, fired more than fifty rounds in a row, stopping only when his shoulder started to hurt.

Just as he was about to praise the excellent rifle in his hands, he suddenly remembered his bet with Joja. Thinking about his treasured WA2000 about to leave him, he felt a wave of sadness.

However, he was quickly distracted by Antar's shooting.
