Chapter 179 - 136: Document Assessment_2
If it were the second event, Allen Zhang might score pretty high, but he’d struggle just getting past the first stage, with poor marksmanship, anything else is basically moot.
There are security personnel all over the base, but they are there mostly for show, and no one would stir up trouble here. Not far away, there’s a shooting range, where many nervous folks are firing away, trying to warm up their trigger fingers.
Allen Zhang was quite interested and went over to ask about the price.
The staff replied: "This shooting activity is specially set up for assessment participants and accompanying family members, with a $50 entry fee per person, including any firearm of choice and unlimited ammo."
That cheap?
Allen Zhang immediately took out fifty US dollars to register and pay, got his hand strap, and entered the shooting range under the guidance of the staff.
The sound of gunshots from those firing nearby was nonstop. Bullets were abundantly placed in boxes, and the weapon racks were filled with all kinds of handguns, rifles, sniper rifles, and submachine guns.
The reason why the bullets were relatively cheap was that most of the stock here was nearing its expiration date and had to be dealt with quickly. The procurement was low-cost, and you could find any caliber, with the production cost for a brass bullet only being several cents. Steel ones were even cheaper, only more expensive at stores and convenience shops.
A box of bullets commonly sells for between ten and several dozen US dollars at supermarkets. Like when Sieg sources from his friends, he could even make a profit at five dollars a box.
The staff, upon seeing Allen Zhang as an Asian who found everything novel, assumed he didn’t shoot much and probably wasn’t familiar with the rules here. They also gave him a detailed introduction to the activities and safety regulations, such as not to point the gun at people, and to check the safety when firing and loading bullets, etc.
