Club Firearms Shooting Club.

Today, Raymond had a day off, and Luke had arranged to practice shooting with him.

After meeting up, Raymond suggested they continue practicing with moving targets.

Only after Luke could hit all the targets would they move on to the next training exercise.

Luke used a Pistol Card [which enables rapid learning of pistol-related knowledge, including but not limited to theory and practical application.

The efficiency of learning depends on the coach's level, the learner's attitude, and aptitude.

Effective for 5 hours.]

Both men shot a round each to find their rhythm.

Raymond 17 shots, 17 hits.

Luke 17 shots, 14 hits.

During the last training session, Luke's best record was 17 shots with 15 hits. He hadn't practiced for a while and was getting rusty.

Afterward, they took turns teaching and learning.

Luke's progress was rapid.

By almost noon, he had achieved 17 shots, 17 hits, matching Raymond's score.

Of course, there was still a gap between their skills.

For Luke, he had finally reached the standard of 17 shots, 17 hits.

As for Raymond, it was because the standard was only that high.

At noon, the two had a meal at the club's buffet restaurant.

Steak and lamb chops were available in unlimited quantities.

Luke had once had a buffet in his home country that cost around 200 RMB at most.

The steak was unlimited, but you needed to take a number for a seat.

However, it was rare for restaurants to offer unlimited lamb, and if they did, it was usually just a small amount of kebabs, which required a long wait, and the taste was just so-so.

Logically, since the price of beef and lamb is similar, there's no need to treat them differently.

The variety of dishes at this club's restaurant wasn't extensive, but with enough beef and lamb to go around, it was considered a good deal.

After taking a sip of coffee, Raymond said, "Luke, your progress is astonishing. You're simply born to shoot."

Luke took a sip of orange juice, "How do you think I would do in the next Olympics?"

"No, no, your talent should be used in real combat, not just shooting stationary targets, which is like child's play. In Los Angeles, pretty much anyone can do that.

This afternoon, we need a new training program, something for practical application."

"I'm looking forward to it."

"Also, I've noticed you've been using a Glock. Have you tried other pistols?"

Luke countered, "Is there something wrong with this gun?"

"It's a good gun, many policemen like using it, but if you want to become a firearms expert, you need to understand and be familiar with more guns. Different guns have different features, and only by using a variety will you know which one suits you best.

So, our training today might take longer. Be prepared."

Raymond was willing to teach, and Luke had no reason not to learn, "I have no issue, I will learn well."

After eating, Raymond and Luke went to select firearms. The club's gun storage had a quantity surpassing that of gun stores, and one could nearly see most guns available on the market here.

Upon entering, Luke immediately noticed a Desert Eagle, a pistol he was very familiar with from playing CrossFire, which was his favorite.

He had seen this gun at a gun store before, priced at only around $400. However, his previous two visits to the store had been mission-related, with no time for a close look.

Raymond commented, "Seven rounds, powerful, strong recoil, large size, affecting shooting speed. It's fun for play, but I don't recommend it for work."

"Indeed it's not practical, but I want to try it; this behemoth is too appealing." Luke picked up a wine-red Desert Eagle, finding it really beautiful.

Luke spent time at the moving target range, firing two magazines' worth of 14 bullets.

Afterward, his hand was numb; the gun's recoil was indeed significant. Using it for the first time was an unpleasant experience; Luke hit only 9 out of 14 shots, and his shooting speed was much slower compared to the Glock.

Next, Luke tried a revolver.

Any gun can jam, and clearing a jam or dealing with a misfire can be cumbersome with a magazine-loaded pistol.

The revolver simply had one less round.

Luke quite liked the revolver; it was stylish, but its main drawback was only having six rounds, nearly three times fewer than the 17-round capacity Glock.

While Luke was testing various guns, Raymond gave introductions to the pistols, sharing practical knowledge about them.

"Luke, how many guns do you own?"

"Just one."

"That's not enough. If you ever find yourself in real danger, a single pistol won't suffice. Policemen might encounter all sorts of problems during enforcement, such as attempts to snatch the gun, jams, or running out of bullets; all these need to be considered.

The best course of action is to choose a backup pistol and keep its existence secret from everyone except those you're especially close to.

It might save your life at a crucial moment.

This is also the reason I brought you to try out guns."

"I understand." Luke had first tried the Desert Eagle and then the revolver, but the issue with both was the limited number of bullets.

In the past, many Los Angeles policemen used revolvers, which have now been mostly replaced by semi-automatic pistols. If only one gun was available, one would still have to consider the possibility of a jam, but with a backup gun, there's no need to worry.

Glock pistols have a very low jam rate; it's almost impossible for both guns to jam at the same time.

What Luke needed to do now was to select a backup gun.

One with an overall performance not inferior to the Glock, and small enough for easy carrying.

After trying and choosing for a while, Luke finally settled on a Beretta NANO pistol. Many agents prefer this gun, and it's also commonly seen on TV.

Sleek, small, and easy to carry, with a length of 143mm, a width of 23mm, a height of 106mm, and an unloaded weight of 0.57kg.

This gun comes with a standard 6-round magazine.

There is also an 8-round magazine available, with a wide base for easier grip, beneficial for those with larger hands.
