"It's rare that I specifically picked a slightly lower terrain. Why is the fluctuation range still so large..."
Staring at the gravitational fluctuation value that was always beating between 0.0007 and 0.3, Chen Mo muttered and complained.
Around him, there are many buildings with a height of tens of meters, but he chose the roof of a coffee house with a height of about ten meters. He was afraid that the sniper point chosen was too high, which might affect the final shooting. precision.
In fact, not only the [Third generation optical quantum sniper rifle] that uses gravity waves as ammunition, but even ordinary live ammunition firearms, the selection of ambush positions during sniping often follows the principle of avoiding high and low.
This may be different from the imagination of the general public. Ordinary people will think that shooting from a high place is the most suitable position. After all, standing high and seeing far, vision is indeed a very important factor for snipers. In many films, animations, and various literary works, when it comes to snipers, everyone has the impression of lying on a tall building or a mountain top, holding a domineering sniper rifle in his hand, and blasting the opponent by himself. A squadron of enemies...but that would be wrong.
Leaving aside the exaggerated plot of artistic rendering, just discussing the selection of shooting positions, almost no snipers will choose to snipe at an excessively high position.
The higher you stand, the farther you can see, the wider the field of vision, and the easier it is for the enemy to hit you as a target when the position is exposed. This is the first reason.
And although a high place can indeed make the field of view wider, if the shooting position is too high, it will make the shooting itself more difficult. To put it bluntly, when shooting from top to bottom, the trajectory of the bullet itself will be additionally increased by gravity. An oblique downward momentum, which increases with the height of the shot, will have a greater impact on the trajectory than a normal horizontal shot.
Especially in the case of long-distance sniping, at the beginning it was only a slight error, but in the end it would result in a difference of tens or hundreds of meters from the target impact point. This is what the so-called error is worth a thousand miles. up.
So if you want to hit in one hit, then the sniper should avoid shooting down from too high a position as much as possible.
And even if the reality is completely abandoned—a sniper, he’s handsome and he’s done. A fearless goshawk soaring high in the smoke of the battlefield, with a shot from thousands of miles away, how romantic and temperamental——
But please don't forget that if you shoot down from a high place, if you want to hit the target enemy, the muzzle of the gun must also face down, and the general sniper rifle uses the front bracket as the fulcrum, and it is a gun when no one is operating it. The angle of the mouth is upward, and the normal use of the shoulder can maintain the level, but if you want to shoot downward, you must lift the butt of the gun.
So let’s imagine that on the top of a building tens of meters high, a handsome black-clothed agent sets up a sniper rifle. In order to hit the enemy on the ground, he has to raise his hands high to adjust the muzzle. angle……
How about it, is it ironic?
Or to change the way of thinking, the handsome black-clothed agent seemed to feel that doing so would be too detrimental to his image, so he decided to squat and shoot... But on the roof of a building tens of meters high, a man squatted there holding a sniper rifle ...
Is this treating everyone as blind?
Or is it that all kinds of movies, animations, and literary works have become so powerful that when a bullet is fired flat from the muzzle, it will turn in mid-air and draw an exaggerated arc that violates the principle of parabola, and then accurately headshot the opponent?
Anyway, based on Chen Mo's personal experience, he really hasn't seen many people who like to mount guns at too high a place.
In the words of Ryoko Kusakabe, the captain of AST, people who like to play flashy tricks in battle generally end badly. The real battlefield is always rough, direct and full of blood. In the blink of an eye, how could there be so many gaudy scenes...
While endlessly recalling the pictures of the battlefield that Ryoko Kusakabe used as explanation materials, Chen Mo adjusted the ballistic trajectory according to the various parameters that emerged in the field of view of the scope. When the data values generally stabilized, he Slowly and softly exhaled, a random field within two meters was released from the whole body, countless black light spots flickering like stars continued to gather from the circular edge of the random field, and finally in [Third generation optical quantum sniper rifle] The front end of the metal cube shape condenses into a deep black ball of light that seems to be able to swallow light.
The next moment, he lightly squeezed the trigger.
"——————!!!"
The silent, pitch-black light traversed the entire field of vision in an instant. Although there was no sound, a strong tearing feeling came back along the air.
After a few seconds, there was a mess of noise from the teammate channel of the headset.
"... Crooked? Why did you shoot crooked?"
"Chen Mo Sancao, what are you doing?!"
"Wow ah ah ah ah ah ah - so dangerous, almost got wiped!"
"San Cao, are you kidding us?"
"..."
Listening to the noisy and angry voices of the girls in the team channel, Chen Mo said without sincerity: "I'm sorry, I don't know how to use a gun very much, so I accidentally shot it sideways... sorry?"
"Really careless?"
"Of course!"
Just kidding, of course he shot sideways on purpose.
Chapter 26 Playing games?The one who loses should be called big brother
[The Hermit] Finally ran away.
Originally, the situation of the battle was somewhat on her side, but Chen Mo accidentally shot a sideways shot, and the elf girl fled the battlefield without hesitation like a frightened rabbit.
When the five members of the team engaged in the frontal blocking battle gathered together on the street that was still shrouded in the bitter cold, although the other four did not say anything, Chen Mo could clearly feel the frustration and annoyance in their eyes, especially the feeling of frustration around them. Origami Tobiichi, the captain.
She maintained her usual calm and indifferent expression, but for some reason, there was an indescribable displeasure in that expression, obviously unable to let go of the [Hermit] escaping from her hands for a long time.
Although AST's original intention of establishing the elf special operations force was to expel the elves, Tobiichi Origami was not satisfied with this. What she longed for was to completely wipe out all the elves in the world.
And even by AST troop standards, their mission was far from a success.
Because [The Hermit] didn't run back to the critical point, but ran away from the chasing girls at a high speed, and ran to a place where no one could find him.
In other words, she is still staying in the real world at the moment, and has not been deported back to the borderline.
So the task has to continue.
"Let's look separately... Bo Duo Ercao, Heize Sancao, Sanshang Sanchao, and Chen Mo Sanchao, as soon as you find the [Hermit], report it to me through the communicator immediately."
After arranging the division of labor among the team members, Tobiichi Origami hesitated for a while, and then said: "I will apply to the head of the team for more manpower... Next time, I will never let her run away again!"
"Yes!"
The four of them saluted Tobiichi Origami at the same time with a standard military salute, and then they split up and looked for it from one direction.
This time, Chen Mo was more active. He was the first to set off, choosing the direction south of the street first, and then the other three searched along the remaining directions.
As for why he chose the south side, it was purely based on feeling.
I feel that if we look for the past from this direction, there may be unexpected gains, maybe...
