Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 259 Reverse Marketing
"not bad."

Song Heping removed the magazine and checked the gun. He touched the silencer and felt that the temperature was not too high.

This shows that there is no problem with the workmanship and design of the silencer.

In fact, silencers are not high-tech products. The only difference is the material and design.

It is not difficult to do it, but it is difficult to be the best.

There are three main sources of noise when firing a gun.

The first is the explosion caused by a large amount of gunpowder gas suddenly rushing out and expanding when the bullet flies out of the muzzle; the second is the sonic boom caused by the bullet flying at supersonic speed; and the third is the mechanical impact sound of the automatic weapon bolt.

Among them, the noise source produced by the explosion is the loudest, and the silencer mainly suppresses it. It is difficult to eliminate the other two noises.

Therefore, the basic working principle of most common silencers is to make the gunpowder gas not erupt and expand suddenly, but expand step by step and consume gradually, reducing the pressure of the gas at the end, thereby reducing the sound of the gunshot.

To eliminate sonic booms, special subsonic bullets are usually used to control shooting noise. As for the third type of mechanical impact sound of weapons, it requires hard work in gun design and manufacturing, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

The muffler of the Scimitar adopts the common baffle design. By welding metal baffles inside the silencer tube, a hole is left in the middle for the bullet to pass through. Through this design, the high-pressure gas ejected from the muzzle is consumed and expanded step by step, forming a vortex to slow down the impact speed. When it is discharged from the front end of the silencer, the pressure is greatly reduced and the noise is also reduced.

Basically, the function of the machete's homemade silencer is to suppress the first type of noise, which is considered acceptable.

If the top-notch muffler is rated at 100 points, this homemade muffler can get 60 points, which is more than enough.

As for material and durability, these are not things Song Heping needs to consider.

What he wanted was not to expose the target too early in the first few minutes of the rescue raid. As long as this goal was achieved, it didn't matter if he didn't have the silencer afterwards.

Because even if this silencer can only be used for 500 rounds, it is enough.

"Every M4A1 assault rifle we ask for has a silencer."

Seeing Song Heping being so generous, Wandao smiled and said, "No problem, no problem! Actually, $500 is a really good deal. I don't sell a lot of this stuff, and these American weapons are expensive. Don't think they are too expensive. They are very expensive when they are shipped."

"Is it expensive?"

Song Heping asked, "How much is one?"

"Of course, those old World War II products and weapons from the Vietnam War era of the 500s are cheap. For example, I only charge $4 for a Garand rifle. But this M1A8000 assault rifle in your hand is different. The blank frame alone costs $!"

"A used one for 8000, or US dollars?!"

Hearing what Wandao said, the chef beside him became upset.

"Your business is more profitable than robbing a bank! You can buy a brand new AR-15 in the US for over two thousand dollars!"

"This is the military version of the M4A1 assault rifle," Machete said disdainfully. "Don't compare mine with those random, off-brand AR-15s of yours! Are they even close? Do you know where I source them?"

Seeing that the chef still looked unconvinced, Machete, wanting to show off his abilities, simply revealed his secrets: "These M4A1 assault rifles were all purchased from the Colombian military. They're absolutely authentic military-issued rifles, the same ones used by US special forces. Many of them have only been used for a year. Look at the condition, the rifling, just look at it!"

The more Wandao spoke, the more excited he became, and his saliva almost flew onto the cook's face.

"I have to get through to the Colombian military and get them shipped over there. Do you think it's easy for me?! If it weren't for the occasional high-end customer asking for this type of gun, I wouldn't buy it! Selling the older M16s and M14s here, and some AKs and AKMs, is more profitable than selling M4A1s, right?"

The cook was speechless after hearing what he said.

This seems to be the case.

There is no doubt that the military version of the M4A1 is completely different from the general civilian version of the AR-15.

"Never mind, you get what you pay for."

Song Heping was also helpless.

This is really...

He increasingly felt that he was still a rookie in the arms dealer business and had a long way to go.

Take a look!

After all, I am an arms dealer, but not only do I have to buy expensive guns from others, but I also get ripped off.

The most annoying thing is that I have to buy it.

There's no such thing as a missed opportunity. Ferrari also said that in Ecuador, if you don't have the weapon in your hands, don't even think about it elsewhere.

Besides, Song Heping had also seen it, and the scimitar was not an exaggeration.

His goods are good.

However, he only had three sets of night vision sights for M4A1 assault rifles. There were seven people this time. According to the usual division of labor, the Queen and the Hunter were snipers, the Disaster Star, the Cook, and the White Bear were machine gunners, and he and the Gray Wolf were assaulters.

However, this mission does not require so many snipers or machine gunners.

So the hunter and the cook also became assaulters, while White Bear and Disaster Star still served as machine gunners.

As for snipers, the Queen is retained because he is good at the SVD sniper rifle, and this is the only sniper rifle available here.

This meant that the operation consisted of four assaulters, two machine gunners, and one sniper, which meant that one of the assaulters did not have a night vision scope.

White Bear and Disaster Star chose the M240 machine gun, while the Queen chose an SVD sniper rifle, which is her personal favorite.

Finally, Song Heping's eyes fell on an M72 rocket launcher in the pile of weapons. After discussing with the cook, he bought it.

Machete was certainly happy.

Today he did nearly $200,000 in business.

Moreover, all the goods being bought and sold are high-end goods, which are not easy to sell here. Only the elite of gangs or anti-government armed forces will buy these equipment. Most of them will choose the cheaper Soviet-made AKM or even AK47. After all, for large-scale armed organizations, price is king when it comes to equipping those minions and cannon fodder.

While waiting for Wandao's men to load their weapons into the car, Song Heping took the opportunity to chat with Wandao at the entrance of the cave.

"Machete, what's the price of AK47 and AKM assault rifles here?"

"These Soviet-made weapons are much cheaper." Scimitar didn't hide it: "I buy an AK47 for $700 and an AKM for $900. If you want them, I'll give you a discount and charge you $600 or $800 respectively. It's considered a reward."

so expensive?
Song Heping was secretly surprised.

Because I bought the goods from Yusuf, the AK47 was only $50, and the AKM made in Romania was only $100.

So he asked, "Machete, how much did you get back those AKs and AKMs?"

"how?"

A hint of vigilance flashed in Scimitar's eyes.

Song Heping quickly explained: "No, what I want to ask is, how are the sales of Soviet-style individual weapons here?"

Wandao's eyes were full of confusion as he looked at Song Heping in front of him, unable to guess what he was going to do.

Song Heping asked, "If I could get hold of genuine AK47s and Romanian-made AKM assault rifles, do you have any connections to sell them to me?"

Machete frowned and asked, "Do you really have a way?"

Of course he wouldn't believe it.

These people came to me to buy weapons and even dared to talk about arms business with me?

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Song Heping said, "How about this, let's exchange contact numbers. If you don't believe me, but you can go abroad, I welcome you to come to Yiligo, in Bakda. As soon as you get off the plane, I will arrange everything. I will take you to see the goods and pay for them. If you feel uneasy, I will handle the customs clearance for the goods and deliver them to the port of your choice."

Machete looked at Song Heping as if he were looking at a madman.

However, he also felt that this madman did not seem to be joking and seemed quite sincere.

"How much are those AKs? How much are the AKMs?"

Machete asked tentatively.

Because his purchase price of an AK7 was as high as US$400, and the AKM was directly over US$500.

Of course, he also knew that the goods he got were actually second-hand.

In South America, he is just a distributor in Ecuador.

"If you pay directly in Yiligo and have your own way to ship it back, I'll give you $150 for an AK and $200 for an AKM," Song Heping said. "If you want me to pay for your shipping and send it to a certain port, I'll only charge you the shipping fee, but I won't be responsible for its safety after it arrives at the port. That's your problem."

Machete said, "If you can get it to Ecuador, I have someone with connections here, so you don't have to worry about that."

Song Heping added, "The price I'm talking about is a starting price of at least 10,000 units. After all, we are a first-hand source of goods and don't sell them retail. If you can't reach that volume, I'm not interested in cooperating with you."

Scimitar was stunned again.

He felt that he had been misled by the young man in front of him.

Huh?
Didn’t I just sell him arms?
Why does it look like this young man is a door-to-door salesman now?

Song Heping saw that the time was almost right and that the weapons were all loaded.

So he stood up and said goodbye: "We still have things to do and hurry up, Machete, you should think about it yourself. We are still quite powerful in Irigo. You know there is a war going on there right now. The amount of arms we can get is definitely not a small amount, millions of guns, do you understand?"

Machete's eyes widened.

He felt as if he were in a dream.

Today I even sold a gun to a big arms dealer from Irigo.

"Okay..." His emotions were a little confused: "I'll think about it."

Song Heping smiled and waved: "Goodbye, Machete. I'll wait for your call."

After saying that, he raised his hand to his ear and made a phone call gesture, then turned around and got into the car, quickly disappearing at the end of the distant path.
