Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 636 Pre-match gun inspection

After a while, the opening ceremony of the competition began.

Cai Yuanqi stepped onto the stage with a smile on his face, picked up the microphone and said: "Dear guests..."

When Watson saw Cai Yuanqi go on stage, his pupils constricted. He was now even more certain that Cai Yuanqi was definitely involved in this matter.

He didn't listen to Cai Yuanqi, but looked around and soon found a few familiar faces.

From these faces, Watson knew that these people were not simple.

At this moment, there were exclamations from all around, and Watson looked at Cai Yuanqi on the stage.

"...This competition is divided into two stages. In the first stage, each contestant will compete in a time trial one by one, and will be scored based on the accuracy and time of shooting the target."

"In the second stage, we will separate the top ten and conduct a 1v1 simulation bomb competition to determine the final champion."

After listening to this, Watson frowned. In general, IPSC (practical shooting) competitions, there is only the first stage, which is the individual time trial, and there are no opponents involved.

Now Cai Yuanqi suddenly announced that there will be a second stage. This is not simple. Even the opponent’s conspiracies and tricks will be used in the second stage.

Unlike Watson who had a frown on his face, Guan Youbo, Peng Yixing and others were looking at Cai Yuanqi on the stage with great surprise.

They didn't expect that there would suddenly be a second stage, which was a 1V1 simulated bullet competition, which could perfectly demonstrate the strength of a shooter.

Instead of just shooting targets!

Next, each contestant will collect his or her own number and then conduct an individual time trial based on the number.

Watson also learned in advance that this individual time trial is simply a race in a complex terrain. When the timing starts, the contestants start moving quickly and then shoot at targets that suddenly appear in the process.

In IPSC competitions, the target paper used is an octagonal paper target divided into three scoring areas: A (Alpha), C (Charlie) and D (Delta).

When shooting at paper targets, it is necessary to ensure that there are two bullet holes on each paper target, and the shooter can also make additional shots according to the situation.

When checking the target, the best score of the two shots will be taken. If there is only one bullet hole on the paper target, the other shot will be judged as a MISS (missed the target), which is a procedural violation and will be deducted 10 points (the maximum deduction for paper targets is 20 points).

The results of IPSC competitions are calculated based on the shooter's target score and speed.

Specifically, the target score is divided by the time taken to get a coefficient (shooting coefficient), which is the shooter's score in that scene.

The higher the coefficient, the better the shooter's performance.

To put it simply, the goal is to hit as many targets in area A as possible in the shortest time without committing fouls, hitting the wrong targets, or making technical errors, then the probability of winning will be higher.

Being able to fire two shots in the shortest time and hit the same point is called a combo, and it is a skill that only masters can perform.

And the first stage of the individual time trial does not have only one scenario. Instead, each person needs to complete six scenarios, three each day for today and tomorrow.

Watson was walking towards the place where he received his number. Suddenly, a man came over from the side. He stared at Watson and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Watson, my name is Peng Yixing. I heard that you are the most famous sharpshooter in the police force. This time, I want to see you for myself."

After he finished speaking, he stared at Watson with burning eyes, his eyes full of desire to win.

Watson looked at the face that looked a bit like his brother and immediately knew his origin. The sharpshooter in "The King of Guns"...

"Okay, when you get to the final 1v1 battle, you'll know how good my marksmanship is."

"I will go to the end!" After saying that, Peng Yixing turned and left.

Looking at the other person's back, Hua Sheng's mouth twitched. Chen Yongren walked over and said with a smile: "Hua Sir, what's the matter? Did you encounter someone provoking you?"

Ling Jing also said in a deep voice: "Hua Sir, don't worry, I will get rid of him in the game."

Looking at the two generals under his command, Watson was speechless and walked quickly towards the place where he could collect the numbers.

Guan Youbo, from a distance, also noticed what was happening on Watson's side.

It can be said that among all the people at the scene, Watson is the most famous. Through various major cases, he has become a well-known figure in Hong Kong Island.

Now, in the whole Hong Kong Island, who doesn’t know the name of Watson, the super policeman!

This was achieved with one big case after another.

On the way, Watson saw Ma Jun, He Wenzhan, Zhou Xingxing, Chen Guorong and others who also came to participate in the competition.

They also saw Watson and came over immediately.

After approaching, without waiting for them to speak, Watson whispered: "Be careful in this competition. Be sure to check your guns. Don't ask me why. Just do what I say."

He Wenzhan and the other three were immediately shocked, but they also understood the importance of the matter, so they nodded and agreed.

When Watson received his number, he frowned as he looked at it. The police officer next to him immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Hua, with your ability, you are more than qualified to be number one!"

Yes, Watson's number is one. If it was a normal game, Watson would be very happy, but now it is a game where he doesn't know where the enemy will make a move, which makes him very uncomfortable.

But since the other party has said so, how can Watson refuse? And even if Watson refuses, the other party obviously will not give a new number.

"Mr. Hua, you need to go to the gun collection office to register your gun."

Seeing Watson still standing there, the staff member kindly reminded him.

Watson smiled faintly, turned around and went to the gun collection area. After registering, the other party gave Watson a special gun for the competition.

Watson immediately disassembled the gun and carefully examined every part.

The people nearby were all stunned when they saw this scene. Although they also checked, they did not open them up for inspection so they were not so thorough.

After seeing this, Guan Youbo and Peng Yixing paused for a moment and followed Watson to disassemble the guns and inspect them.

Including He Wenzhan, Chen Yongren and others, all of them disassembled their guns for inspection.

During the inspection, Watson immediately discovered something wrong. Although a part inside the gun was still usable, it had been severely worn out. During the next game, errors could occur at any time.

After discovering this, Watson took the part directly to the gun delivery office and asked for a replacement.

This scene dumbfounded those who had not originally planned to disassemble the gun for inspection. Is there really a problem?

They were so scared that they planned to disassemble the gun for inspection, but not everyone has the skills to disassemble and assemble the gun.
