Spy-x-War Showdown

Paul quickly got ready to shoot and then fired.

Just after the first shot, Paul immediately exclaimed in great surprise, "The recoil is too small; this hardly feels like a .338 caliber rifle."

After speaking, Paul fired continuously and rapidly, maintaining a high rate of fire at about one round per second, each shot targeting the 400-meter mark.

He fired ten rounds in one breath and then stopped shooting.

"You can fire this gun very fast, and this is far from its limit. I want to test its accuracy."

After making his initial comments, Paul continued shooting. With nine bullets left in the gun, he shot at targets further away, one after another until he ran out of ammunition.

Paul ceased firing and then turned to Pasanin, saying, "This is a strangely positioned gun. It fires .338 Lapua Magnum rounds, but the accuracy isn’t exceptional. Yet the rate of fire far exceeds any other rifle of the same caliber that I know of. In other words, the gun’s power is more than a sharpshooter needs, but the precision isn’t enough for a sniper. So, what exactly is this gun supposed to be?"

"The precision of a sniper rifle, the rate of fire of a sharpshooting rifle, close to the power of a large-caliber rifle, the magazine capacity of a small or medium-caliber rifle—the placement is that of a super rifle, a super rifle for use by super shooters. As for the accuracy not being ideal, that’s very simple: this is just a first-generation prototype that still needs to be improved."

Frowning, Paul retorted, "Super rifle, for whom? I don’t think anyone can utilize the full performance of this rifle, so what’s the point of making it."

Pasanin smiled and said, "This gun was designed and made by our boss, so it’s tailored for our boss."

Paul’s brow furrowed further, interpreting Pasanin’s implication that their boss could exploit the performance of this rifle, whereas he couldn’t.
