NOVEL NEXT Chapter 123: Silencer
Shea and I returned to the room assigned to us, and briefly explained the current situation to Snow and the others waiting in the room.
“-That’s why tonight’s fun party will be later. We’re going to start the hostage rescue operation. Get ready right away.”
They responded to my instructions immediately. Shia quickly changed from maid clothes to field clothes. She really changed her clothes in an instant, but how did she do it? I could probably do that. If I worried about, I could be a looser…
I changed my thoughts and give instructions to Liz.
“Instead of the ‘MP5K’, please give me the ‘MP5SD’, the one with a barrel-like thick tube.”
“Is this?”
“That’s right. Snow and Shia, please take them.”
The two received the “MP5SD” from Liz as instructed. After a minimum preparation, we went outside for a wagon that was waiting outside. The members of the Chrysanthemum knights were just getting on horse-drawn carriages. We got on one of them and went to the site.
Inside the carriage, except for the coachman who drove the horned horses, there were only Peacemaker members.
We receive magazines from Liz. I asked Meiya to put the spare magazines in the magazine pouch. I brought Meiya because of the danger. If I left her alone in the Headquarters, she could be attacked by the armored dude.
“Lute sama, May I ask you a question?”
“Okay. we still have time to get to the job site.”
“Thank you very much. So, I was curious, why use MP5SD instead of the MP5K?”
“That, too, I was curious about. Both are submachine guns, why bother to use them?”
Snow reacted to Meiya’s question. Chris and Liz also nodded silently. I answered everyone’s questions while quietly proceeding with preparations.
“Surely both are Submachine guns but why did I choose “MP5SD” instead of “MP5K” this time? ”
The difference between “MP5K” and “MP5SD” is whether the gun has a “sound suppressor” or “silencer” or not attached. So, what exactly is a “sound suppressor” or “silencer”? To put it simply, it is an instrument or device that “reduces” the sound of a gunshot.
Some experts point out that it should be called a “sound suppressor” rather than a “silencer” because it is not possible to completely mute the sound.
In the future, it may be unified with the “sound suppressor”, but I want you to think that it is the same as the silencer.
Continue talking.
…… This time, there is a high probability that we will rush into the room and fire. In that case, if it is not a firearm with the “sound suppressor” a lot of problems could occur.
- If you fire a gun without a “sound suppressor” indoors, it will hurt and paralyze your ears. If this happens, it will be difficult to capture surrounding sounds.
- If chemicals or fuel are stored, there is a risk of ignition from the muzzle.
- When firing in the dark, the criminal could know your whereabouts with the flame from the muzzle.
That’s it.
Some people think that it is unnecessary to have a “sound suppressor” because they are accustomed to or developed resistance to gunshots by training.
However, the louder the sound is the “hair cell in the cochlea” in the ear could be damaged. (cochlea = an organ shaped like a snail shell. The reason for the snail-like shape is simply said to recognize the sound by shaking the hair cells in the place. To put it simply, the thicker part has a higher sound, that is, a higher sound of Hz. The narrower one corresponds to the lower sound of Hz, that is, the lower Hz. The high sound decays quickly and only the thick snail hair cells vibrate).
Since hair cells do not regenerate, the damage that has been given once accumulates and is more likely to become deaf after a certain period (the period varies by individual).
If your ears continue to be exposed to over 80 decibels, your hearing will worsen over the years. Furthermore, if exposed to 100 dB or more, more specifically 110 dB or more, there is a high possibility of hearing-loss in a shorter period.).
I think that you will often hear images by decibels, such as about 100 decibels under the guard when the train passes, and about 120 decibels near the airplane engine (however, the decibel changes depending on the distance). This is the numerical value that came out when the Ministry of Health and Welfare made it known to the public by making laws on noise, etc., so that it would be communicated to the general public and cheap on various media. I think they put a lot of importance on the image.
It is said that the firing sound of the gun exceeds 120 decibels, which is the noise of the engine, and if it is a bullet with many explosives, it will be 160 decibels or more.
By the way, the number of decibels is a logarithmic value, so the difference in sound pressure is 6 times the difference, the sound pressure is doubled by 12 decibels, the difference by 12 decibels is 4 times, the difference by 18 decibels is 8 times, the difference by 20 decibels is 10 times, and the difference is 40 dB. The sound pressure is 100 times. Even at 6dB, it will damage your ear with double the sound pressure.
Even 120 dB is roaring, but at 160 dB, the sound pressure is 100 times that of 120 dB. Furthermore, since the energy of the sound is the square of the sound pressure, 160 dB is 10,000 times that of 120 dB-no matter how much the shooter claims to have become accustomed to the gunshot, this results in damage to the ears, Symptoms progress to hearing loss after a certain amount of time.
Such a condition is called “acoustic trauma”.
However, using the “Sound Suppressor” can reduce by about 20 to 40 decibels. This means that if the sound is 30 decibels, the sound pressure is reduced to 31.6 times, and the sound energy is reduced to 1/1000, so there is no need to worry about damage to the ear.
So, I created two types, the MP5K, which is used to carry weapons without being suspicious, and MP5SD with a sound suppressor for assaulting and firing indoors.
I’ll leave out the words that Snow and the others wouldn’t understand, and finish explaining to them. Then the carriage arrived at the site where the incident was happening.
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
The site is a corner of a quiet residential area. It’s a one-story building with a garden that houses the upper-middle-class – between the luxury and the lower tiers.
“Bring the armored bastard to me soon. If you don’t do this, I’ll kill the hostages!”
A man whose eyes are cloudy is screaming towards the horned horses from a large window. A well-polished sword and a hostage woman. The woman is tied with a string to prevent escape, and a gag is stuck in her mouth.
A large window, originally for taking in the maximum amount of sunlight, is the stage tonight for the criminal to communicate the request to the surroundings.
While looking at the situation and surroundings from a distance, I saw at the Chrysanthemum knights coming down from the carriage in full armament. I asked Garma, who accompanied me, about the number of members currently in existence.
“How many people are there in total?”
“There are 24 people here.”
24 people … I wanted a little more if possible, but could I say it was a luxury? It wouldn’t be possible to empty the Chrysanthemum knights’ headquarters.
I glance around the members in front of me.
“”To give priority to the rescue of hostages, the representative of Peacemaker, Lute gunsmith, will lead this time. If you have any questions, raise your hand.”
“…………”
The girls were told by Garma while they were on the carriage, or they did not speak out against it. he’s so fast and helpful.
I looked around the members again. Because the girls are at the scene where the incident is happening, everyone’s faces are equally stern.
“The situation needs a quick solution, there is a blade in the hand of a sneaky fellow that is threatening the life of the hostages. They are waiting for the help of the Chrysanthemum knights who protect the city… You’ll be filled with tension and anxiety but do the best you can and save the hostages without harm.”
At my words, the faces of the girls who had been stern earlier were tightened. I looked at their expressions and told them with a happy smile.
“Now, Chrysanthemum Knights, game on.”
