Chapter 65 CQB in Weightless Space
After a day, the training base of the Space Marine Corps.

This base was originally a space factory, and the product was the lead shielding shell of the fission reactor.

However, as the fission reactor was completely withdrawn from active service, the factory was also abandoned, and then the Space Force, based on the principle of not being wasted, took over and changed it to a space combat simulation battlefield.

Today, the two hundred astronauts of the supplementary team surrounded the entire training ground, and started the space infantry combat simulation as planned.

The simulated battle starts three 10 minutes.

Wang Pingan pulled out the magazine of the rifle and checked the number of bullets inside.

Angeli asked puzzledly: "Why not use a transparent magazine or a magazine where the bullets in the magazine can be seen next to it?"

Wang Ping'an: "Because I think it is a ritual to confirm the status of the magazine in this way."

"In space, rely on the quality to confirm that the residual ammunition is inaccurate?"

"When your transparent magazines or magazines with fragile transparent parts are deformed due to bumps or stray bullets, you will know the benefits of using all-steel magazines."

As he said that, Wang Ping'an leaned out and opened fire on the "enemy" at the other end of the passage.

When the rifle is fired, the small engine on the gun ejects backwards with the rhythm of the shot to balance the recoil of the rifle shot.

The recoil force of shooting in a weightless environment is unbalanced, and the person holding the gun will start to turn in circles.

Combat in a weightless environment is a complicated subject, because in many cases, people have no fulcrum to exert force at all.

If you grab something to fix yourself before firing every time, you will miss a lot of tactical opportunities.

Therefore, although the astronauts' combat equipment has electromagnets used to absorb the bulkhead to fix themselves, it is still a skill that space fighters must master to exert firepower in a floating state.

When shooting without a point of application, a big learning is how to aim the gun at the enemy.

In the state of weightless floating, moving the muzzle of the gun will often cause the body to be driven. Only those who are proficient in the "mass autonomous movement method" can offset the movement of the gun with the movements of other parts of the body.

Of course, if it is just fine-tuning, it can be done with the fine-tuning nozzle on the rifle.

Yes, the Type 56 Space Rifle itself is a small drone. It not only has an engine, but also an attitude control nozzle. You can even just throw the gun out, and then control the gun to aim and shoot like a drone.

As for those like Wang Pingan who hold the Type 56 and operate it like a traditional rifle, that is pure showmanship: look, I can use a rifle in space like I can on the ground.

Of course, this kind of showmanship is not completely meaningless. In an emergency, it may also be necessary to pick up the enemy's traditional rifle to shoot.

These rifles were simply ammunition modified with an oxidizer added to the propellant so that it could be fired in the absence of air and oxygen.Other than that, they are conventional rifles.

While Wang Ping suppressed the enemy, Angeli pushed forward.

Suddenly, Wang Ping'an's shooting stopped abruptly.

"I'm stuck, cover me!"

Angorie immediately started shooting.

Wang Pingan pulled the trigger and slammed the side of the rifle.

If it is in an environment with gravity, generally you only need to shake the gun upside down to complete the initial troubleshooting, but this is a non-gravity environment, and you can only rely on quick shots to shake out the stuck bullets.

The first step failed to solve the fault, so Wang Pingan immediately went to the second step, and began to pull the bolt repeatedly, trying to get the grapple to pull out the stuck shell case.

When it was pulled for the third time, the shell case was finally thrown out and a new bullet was loaded.

Wang Pingan: "I'm ready, let's start pushing."

In order to save the propellant of the rifle, Wang Pingan operated the small engine on the back of his spacesuit to push forward along the passage.

At this moment, the enemy defending the passage opened fire.

Because Angeli was suppressing the firepower, the bullet was fired from behind the corner, and instead of going straight to Wang Pingan, it bounced off the bulkhead.

The first few shots were missed, and the fourth shot hit Wang Ping'an's space suit firmly.

The front of the combat spacesuit is covered with carbon nanofiber armor plates, and it doesn't hurt at all to get hit.

To damage a combat space suit, an attack from behind is generally recommended to hit unprotected equipment.

Or hit the helmet with a high-powered round.

Wang Pingan marched forward against the rain of bullets that the enemy ricocheted through the wall.

He surpassed Angori's position, and drifted forward for a while. Just as Angeli was about to reload, he stopped maneuvering and attracted the electromagnet of the spacesuit to the bulkhead.

This allows him to aim faster than aiming with the rifle's stance nozzle.

Then Wang Pingan began to suppress the enemy.

Angorie reloaded the bombs familiarly, and then began to push forward.

Standard two-player alternate screen tactics.

When Angeli was in place, Wang Pingan started to advance again.

He advanced slowly amidst Angeli's gunshots, and suddenly noticed the reflection of a blurred figure on the pipeline on the side of the intersection.

——I really didn't expect that the enemy's position could be determined in this way.

Thanks to maintenance robots for polishing the lines.

Wang Pingan opened fire, and the bullet hit the pipe, tearing a gap, and the gas in the pipe gushed out.

One of the enemies ambushing at the intersection was directly blown away.

At another moment when the enemy was distracted by a sudden change, Wang Pingan activated all the thrusters on his body that could be ejected backwards, rushing towards the intersection like a rocket.

The moment before rushing out, Wang Ping'an fired the grapple, and the tip of the hook pierced another pipeline, hooking it firmly.

The high-temperature steam from the pipeline swept over Wang Ping'an's body.

However, spacesuits are not vegetarian!The real hunk dares to resist the steam with his body (with a space suit)!

Moreover, the steam also changed Wang Ping'an's position, allowing him to avoid the enemy's hasty blocking shots.

The rope behind the grapple was tightened, and Wang Pingan swung it directly behind the enemy like a pendulum.

The opponent immediately uses the mass to move and turn autonomously, but it is too late.

Wang Ping'an's shot hit the equipment on the back of his spacesuit. The simulated combat system judged that the enemy was "dead", a small white flag popped up above his head, and the position indicator light on his shoulder also flickered.

But there was one more enemy, Wang Pingan cut off the grapple and turned around.

The bullet hit over, crackling and hitting the spacesuit.

Angorie appeared at the corner of the intersection in time, sucked herself against the bulkhead, aimed precisely and opened fire——

The first shot hit the enemy's Type 56 rifle.

Yes, the rifle itself is a more vulnerable target than a spacesuit with no external equipment on the front and a lot of carbon nano armor plates inserted.

Angeli shot off the working medium supply pipe of the rifle engine, and the working medium in the bottle began to spray randomly, causing the enemy to roll in the weightless space.

Wang Pingan immediately shot with Angeli, "splashing water" on the rolling enemy.

As long as enough bullets are sprinkled, there will always be key equipment hit.

Finally, the whistle sounded for the end of the battle.

"Wang Ping'an and Angele de Leon's team won." The voice of the resident referee at the training ground sounded from the earphones.
