Spy-x-War Showdown

Yang Yi simply couldn’t stand Anton’s act of ostentation that seemed effortless and omnipresent.

Actually, Yang Yi had been able to accept Anton showing off in front of him before, but for some reason, his tolerance for Anton’s arrogance had suddenly decreased, and decreased by a lot at that.

Anton was just proud, right? But who can’t show off?

"There’s no need for that, but I need to ask you, do you have a gun? I have my own sniper rifle, but it seems you don’t, so I can find you a good rifle. My rifle is a .338 Lapua Magnum calibre, you can use any calibre you want, 12.7mm is fine too, since you don’t have your own preferred sniper rifle, you could use a large calibre, I don’t mind."

Yang Yi said with a smile on his face, that pompous attitude was so evident even a blind man could see it.

For a sniper, getting familiar with the terrain in advance is too important; if one sniper knows the environment and the other doesn’t, then the one familiar with the environment holds a significant advantage.

But how could the advantage of knowing the environment compare to the advantage of calibre?

Let’s put it this way, a 7.62mm calibre rifle has an optimal shooting distance within 600 metres and a maximum range of about 800 metres; beyond that, it’s not that the bullet has no power, but the spread becomes so large that hitting the target relies on luck.

The .338 Lapua Magnum bullet, in metric terms, is 8.6mm, with a maximum range of about 1,200 metres, while a 12.7mm calibre sniper rifle has a maximum range of 1,500 metres, which means that hitting a target at this distance depends on skill, and beyond this distance, it relies on character; it’s not that one can’t hit, but one certainly can’t guarantee a hit.

When Yang Yi suggested Anton use a 12.7mm calibre rifle, what he meant was, "Let me give you a head start of three hundred metres."

You’re proud? I’m prouder than you, no matter if I have the right to be proud or not, I just won’t let you show off.
