Spy Wars: I have space, but I choose to work alone

Ma Liang heard from the instructor who taught him sniping that the instructor was an old sniper who participated in the last foreign self-defense counterattack.

Is it a real sniper who has actually shot people with a sniper rifle, or has a record of over double digits and won personal honorary titles?

When they first captured the enemy's SVD sniper rifle, they did not have dedicated sniper bullets for a long time.

Unfortunately, they have only been able to use Type 53 machine gun bullets, which are domestically produced large-charge 7.62x54mmR bullets.

Since it is not a special sniper bullet, the accuracy is acceptable within a range of 300 meters.

However, once the range exceeds 3 meters, the accuracy drops sharply, which is fatal for a sniper rifle.

In the end, there was no other choice but to rely on the old methods and adopt some local methods to solve this problem.

Ma Liang's sniper instructor passed on these experiences to Ma Liang, but Ma Liang just listened to them as interesting stories at that time.

After all, which country's snipers are so poor as to use machine gun bullets as sniper bullets? But no one could have imagined that they would come in handy today.

Thinking of the useful long-range precision weapons, Ma Liang excitedly opened the package of 100 special sniper bullets.

Looking at the clear 7.62x54mmR on it, Ma Liang was almost crying with excitement.

It was not until then that Ma Liang realized that this was most likely a modified version of the Type 85 that was made by domestic arsenals to carry out modern tactical modifications on a large number of idle Type 85s in the country in order to export them and earn foreign exchange.

Sure enough, after getting the guy who satisfied him, Ma Liangxin finally had some free time.

I saw the manual for this gun on the built-in manual:

Low light level image intensifier (tandem installation)

These are two complete sniper systems, including a high-power sniper scope with ballistic calculation function for daily use and a larger night vision scope for night combat, a silencer, and some small accessories for maintenance and replacement.

Ma Liang always felt something was wrong, so he decided to open all the boxes of weapons to have a look.

Finally, Ma Liang found two PKM general-purpose machine guns in the box that use 7.62x54mm R-type bullets and can be equipped with silencers. PKM Tactical Improved Version "Now there are bullets!"

Ma Liangle searched everywhere, but unfortunately he didn't find any machine gun bullets, only the PKM's ammunition box and accessories such as ammunition belts.

Otherwise, with the high firing rate of the machine gun, at least several thousand rounds of bullets would be needed. Ma Liang could just shoot as much as he wanted and use the LR19 sniper rifle as a rifle.

I think it’s because the machine gun has a large number of bullets, which are packed individually in boxes. Unlike the LR19, it doesn’t come with 100 rounds of dedicated sniper bullets.

Seeing this, Ma Liang seemed to have thought of something, and hurried to look at the M4A1 rifle that he had given up on after taking a look at it first. As expected, Ma Liang saw its real name in the manual:

CQ5.56mmA type carbine

"Fuck, how can they be so generous to equip foreign intelligence personnel, a second-line combat unit, with high-end American weapons? It turns out that except for the two PKMs, the rest of the rifles are all made in China!"

Ma Liang also realized at this moment why this happened.

Emotionally, they recycled the weapons that could not be sold abroad and were of very good quality, but they could not use them themselves and gave them to overseas personnel.

Take the CQ rifle, for example, its real name is M4A1. The CQ rifle in the material transfer station, a product aimed at the Western civilian gun market, was born at the wrong time. When it was first launched, it was subject to import restrictions by the US government.

It still cannot be sold in the United States, the world's largest gun market.

A batch of them could only be given away and sold to Southeast Asian countries as military aid, and another batch was sold through other channels. It is a slow-selling and unpopular product.

As for LR19, its experience is similar, it is cheaper.

Aren’t the Type 85 and even the various improved models of imitation SVD produced by many countries around the world good?

Those who pursue accuracy and are wealthy look down on the semi-automatic LR19, which is much less accurate than a bolt-action sniper rifle.

In this case, it is estimated that the first batch of these two types of guns have not been fully digested yet.

It just so happens that the latest battlefield tests of special military operations in Europe have shown that small-caliber sniper rifles and machine guns have limited effects on the battlefield, especially in modern urban warfare.

If not for this, Ma Liang would guarantee that he would just pick two CQ rifles, install two long barrels on them, and attach a high-power scope to them to use as sniper rifles.

As for why there is PKM, it is probably because of the consideration of common ammunition with LR19, plus it is cheap and abundant, so there are a large number of them in Southeast Asia.

However, it cannot be said that the higher-ups treat overseas agents harshly. After all, Southeast Asian countries use more American-made weapons, and using CQ rifles can better hide their identities.

Just like in "Operation Red Sea", why did the Marine Corps Jiaolong give up the domestic weapons that they were familiar with and good at and replace them with NATO standard weapons? It was for the convenience of ammunition supply.

The same reason applies to the U.S. military's behind-enemy-lines infiltration operations during the Vietnam War and the Gulf War, where special forces needed to remain behind enemy lines for a long period of time.

In addition, to be honest, the quality of these foreign trade firearms can still be guaranteed. The quality of domestically produced weapons is probably about the same.

Ahem, of course, we can also clear out the inventory at the same time. After all, genuine products are so expensive!

We are all formal staff members of the country, so we should consider the country more!
