Gun-ota ga Mahou Sekai ni Tensei Shitara

Chapter 137: Shooting Training



The 7th week of the training period.

From today onwards, it’s time to start shooting. A space for shooting training was made on the ground for this day. It was made by the magician group of Snow, Shia, and Liz using earth magic.

It looked like an archery dojo.

The earthen wall behind the target is raised to prevent bullets from jumping out due to accidental shooting.

The recruit girls were lined up in 3 rows of 10 people. They were waiting with an “attention” attitude. The feet were lightly opened with the heels attached, and your hands lightly gripped.

The shooting training instructors, Snow and I stood in front of the girls.

“At ease!”

They were not distracted, “at ease”-They opened their legs at the same time as I said. It is a posture where you turn your hands backward and distribute your body load applying weight to both legs to make it easier.

“You’re going to start shooting training from today. She will be your advisor.”

“I’m Snow Gunsmith. I will do my best as your shooting training instructor.”

Snow tried to be scary as much as she can, but because of her personality and appearance, she looked cute rather than scary.

In fact, it’s only because she’s cute!

I asked everyone to sit down.

Everyone was sitting in the gym; Snow and I were standing visible to everyone. Snow and I turned around and looked at the Trunk where the AK47 used for the shooting training and the box on which the magazines were placed.

There were only 10 AK47s for 30 girls. Meiya did her best, but it was difficult to prepare for everyone. Therefore, the girls will use them alternately.

“This is the AK47, a magic tool that will be used by the New Chrysanthemum order, a Peacemaker’s subordinate organization. Mercer, give me the specs.”

“Sir, caliber 7.62mm, total length 898mm, barrel length 436mm, weight 3.29kg, 30 rounds, firing rate 600 rounds/minute. Sir!”

Mercer with drooping ears, like a loop-ear sitting in the front row, answered steadily. The specifications, names, strengths, and weaknesses were taught in advance through training drills. Therefore, it was possible to give the specifications smoothly as before.

Snow seems to be impressed, but it’s not that she doesn’t know the specs of the AK47 she’s using, right?

I reconsider and continue talking.

“I taught you how to do it in the training drill, but this time you are actually going to operate the AK47. As you can see, there are only 10, so you will shoot in a 10-people turn.”

“Sir yes Sir!”

“Then, the first 10 people, go ahead.”

The ten people in the front row get up and receive AK47 and magazine from me and Snow.

The first explanation was from me, and it was about how to insert the magazine.

“When mounting the magazine, insert the entire magazine backward pushing the front end deep into the gun mounting hole. This will ensure quick and reliable mounting.”

I attached a magazine to my AK47 as a model. Next, I let the 10 girls insert a magazine. All were able to put in the magazine firmly.

“Once you’ve loaded the magazine, pull the cocking handle all the way back and let go. This will load the ammunition into the chamber. When you pull the cocking handle, use force, so put your spirits into it!!”

“Sir yes Sir!”

The girls, as instructed put their spirits on, released the safety device, and pulled the cocking handle vigorously and let go.

The girl of a small race in the front row took some time, but there was no problem. Now they’re ready to shoot. Once again, turn on the safety device.

“Next, I’ll have you shoot at a target about 100 meters ahead. Did you understand, sow!”

“Sir, yes Sir!”

Originally, I aimed for the target to be 250 m ahead, but it was impossible in this space. Therefore, I made the target about 100m ahead.

“Then, next, Snow, please.”

“Yes, sir. Then I’ll teach you from here.”

With a smile, Snow began to explain how to shoot using his own pure white AK47.

“The first 10 girls to shoot come here.”

With AK47 in hand, 10 girls move to the position designated by Snow.

“Well, today is the first day, so you’re going to learn the basic way of shooting ‘ standing posture’.”

[Standing posture] is the posture to stand and shoot. This is the basic shooting position of an assault rifle.

“First, hold the AK47 stock firmly on your shoulders, grip with your right hand, and the area around your handguard with your left hand.”

According to Snow’s explanation, she takes a standing position. The girls also follow Snow. I look at the remaining 20 girls who are looking at me with interest. Snow’s explanation goes on.

“Tighten your left arm and let your right elbow relax and let it go naturally. If you put too much effort into your right arm to absorb the recoil, you will not be able to shoot accurately, so, be careful.”

“Okay, then you’ll shoot right away. Snow come over here, the instruction is good. You keep your posture and release the safety device! Semi-automatic!”

Ten girls unlock the AK47 safety lock.

They move the selector lever that was on top of the safety lock to the bottom semi-automatic (single shot).

They aim to the point where there is a [●] in the center made of hard soil.

“Fire!”

Bang!

Ten firing sounds echo to my order. It is the first time for all of them, but they seem to be able to fire safely.

AK47 has many advantages. It is strong against dirt, it is sturdy, reliable in operation, and easy to handle even by an amateur.

However, there are some disadvantages. One of them is the strong recoil. A girl with a small body should be biting her back teeth with pain from the current shooting.

Two more shots are then fired semi-automatically. Then, we stop the first 10 people from shooting and then put the safety lock again.

Then, they hand over the AK47 without the magazine to the next 10 people.

As before, the next 10 people are allowed to fire only three shots by making a “standing position”. Today is just for getting people to experience the sense of shoot.

I’m not going to force them from the first day.

The next 10 came forward, Layara was among them.

“Wait a minute! Layara come off!”

“Sir, yes sir!”

She dropped her shoulders and fell out of line. The other girls did not have any questions or doubts, and they looked at me with consent.

As expected, I don’t want that Layara to have an AK47. If it’s not fired, it’s still good. It would be bad if it exploded or the bullets flew to other girls. I’m sorry for Layara, but it’s a measure that can’t be helped.

In addition, I order other shooting methods such as knee shooting and sitting shooting positions.

First, the girls (except one) focused on getting used to firing, recoil, the feel, sense of hitting the target, the type of shooting posture, etc. of the assault rifle.
