When he started shooting, Jiang Yan Hai put everything else out of his mind and focused all his attention.
Sure enough, the Coffin Board Skill was still effective, and it worked much faster than when Jiang Yan Hai had first used it. Unlike using a sniper scope, at a distance of 100 meters, outside factors had very little effect on the bullets, but that did not mean the skill was useless.
It was still useful, because after using it often enough, it became more like Jiang Yan Hai's instinct and could combine with his formidable physical abilities. When his body could instinctively cooperate with the skill, he might truly reach the point where he could hit whatever he pointed at without even aiming.
"Bang." "Bang." At first, Jiang Yan Hai fired only single shots. The bullets did not strike the center of the circular target, but began tracing circles around its outer edge.
After all, he could not exactly replace the target, so he might as well make full use of one target multiple times.
The crisp gunshots rang out without pause as the bullets continued along the outermost ring of the target.
With the skill's assistance, the bullet holes left by Jiang Yan Hai's shots almost never strayed from that line, neatly tracing out a circle.
Old Hei, watching through binoculars, could not help the corners of his mouth twitching. Did shooting skills like that still need practice?
Of course, Jiang Yan Hai had simply given him too great a shock. The shooting techniques Jiang Yan Hai had displayed today were truly a little too monstrous.
Old Hei did not interrupt Jiang Yan Hai's shooting. Gong Jian in the distance was also watching through binoculars, and upon seeing this, he could not help sighing. This... was this really the difference between geniuses and ordinary people?
The gap was a little too wide. Jiang Yan Hai seemed not to have practiced for very long in total. Once he was fed enough bullets, what level would his shooting skills reach?
But Gong Jian soon saw that there was no need to wait until later. After firing two magazines in single shots, Jiang Yan Hai began showing off some tricks.
After tracing several outer rings of the circular target with bullet holes, Jiang Yan Hai began continuously aiming at the center. After changing magazines again, he directly started firing automatically.
More importantly, when he began automatic fire, he pulled the shots into a straight line, extending downward from the top of the target. After passing over the target, his bullets continuously began striking the upright wooden stake beneath it.
Fortunately, the target was secured firmly enough. Yet through the binoculars, Gong Jian could still see that under the constant barrage of bullets, the wooden stake beneath the target had been shot clean through, and its height was steadily being shaved down by the bullets.
This was... real-life recoil control!
Even Gong Jian was inwardly amazed, because this required tremendous control over the firearm as well as powerful physical conditioning. A gun's recoil was no joke.
"Jiang Yan Hai."
After Jiang Yan Hai finished firing a magazine, Gong Jian called out loudly.
"Here!" Jiang Yan Hai immediately stood up straight and answered.
"Come over here and shoot at the target on the bulletproof wall." Gong Jian waved him over.
Jiang Yan Hai had no objections and simply walked over. Behind the targets at a shooting range, there would always be bulletproof walls. After all, bullets that penetrated targets could fly a long way, and no one knew whether an accident might happen.
The range they were at was for Assault Rifle shooting training, with targets at 50 meters, 100 meters, and 200 meters. The farthest was 200 meters, while the bulletproof wall was about 300 meters away.
Although the Type 95 rifle had an effective range of 400 meters, daily target practice rarely trained soldiers to shoot 400-meter targets with the Type 95 rifle. At the limit of its effective range, even hitting the target was very difficult for many ordinary soldiers.
Especially when they had only iron sights and no optical sights. Anyone with common sense knew that at a distance of 400 meters, a person was not much bigger than a thumb. Being able to hit the target at that range without optical sights already counted as excellent shooting.
Giving Jiang Yan Hai a shooting distance of 300 meters now was enough, because any farther and it would be outside the normal range of an Assault Rifle. Of course, nothing was absolute. If one was skilled enough, one could use an Assault Rifle to shoot at 800 meters as well.
When he reached the spot Gong Jian had indicated, Jiang Yan Hai simply aimed at the target on the distant bulletproof wall. The roughly painted circular target on the wall was relatively large, mainly because it had many rings, though the red dot at the center was still very small.
At this distance, he did not bother with anything else. He aimed directly at the center and pulled the trigger. Not far from Jiang Yan Hai, Gong Jian raised his binoculars.
At the first "bang," Gong Jian saw the bullet strike the center of the distant target. Since this was an outdoor range, the bulletproof wall was rather simple, made of gravel and concrete, and bullets could shoot directly into the dirt.
Then, in Gong Jian's field of vision, the second bullet likewise flew directly toward that center point.
Jiang Yan Hai was not paying attention to anything else at the moment, because he discovered that the skill seemed capable of enhancing his vision. Without activating it, his vision at 300 meters was no different from an ordinary person's, but after activating it, he could see much more clearly than normal at that distance!
One bullet after another accurately entered through the red center of the target. Not a single shot in the magazine missed. Against a stationary target like this, with the Coffin Board Skill's assistance, it was almost no challenge to him anymore.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yan Hai looked to the side. Next to them was the long-range range for sniper training, where there were targets at 600 meters.
After thinking it over, Jiang Yan Hai wanted to try the 600-meter target. Theoretically speaking, using the naked eye to shoot a target at 600 meters was almost impossibly difficult for an ordinary person, especially when using not a high-precision Sniper Rifle, but an Assault Rifle.
But the Coffin Board Skill had just given Jiang Yan Hai an impression that perhaps there were still some functions of the skill he had yet to discover?
"Reporting," Jiang Yan Hai said.
"Speak." Gong Jian lowered his binoculars and looked at Jiang Yan Hai.
"Instructor, can I shoot at that 600-meter target?" Jiang Yan Hai pointed toward the sniper range beside them and asked.
Gong Jian: "..."
Gong Jian really wanted to say no. Or rather, he wanted to ask whether Jiang Yan Hai could stop being so arrogant and practice something more practical.
But in the end, he did not say it. Mainly because the abilities Jiang Yan Hai had displayed earlier were too incredible.
"Go ahead. What are you being shy about? If you want to do it, then do it." Since there was no one over there anyway, Gong Jian simply agreed.
"Yes, thank you, Instructor." Jiang Yan Hai immediately chuckled twice and turned to aim at the 600-meter target over there.
