Chapter 52: Dissembling Guns to Understand Guns!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Ye Jian finally knew what was trying to break free of her body. It was her desire! She wanted to be more powerful and perfect!

“Ha-ha, aren’t you afraid, girl?” Grandpa Gen laughed because he saw Ye Jian’s face brightening as she laid eyes on the guns. He couldn’t hide his smile on his wrinkled and tough face. “These are real guns. Unlike those toys that you have seen before, they are lethal once they are loaded.”

Ye Jian shook her head and smiled, “I’m not afraid. As Principal Chen has taught me, we can truly use a gun only when we have bonded with it. Only by then can it assist us in rescuing our comrades from danger!”

“He’s right! In order to bond with a gun, you have to understand it first!” said Grandpa Gen. He was glad to see the excitement in Ye Jian’s eyes, where no trace of fear was visible.

He walked forward and picked up an assault rifle. While dissembling it speedily, he said in a mighty voice, “N70AB2, an assault rifle of the Russia Kalashnikov AK-101 series, using the NATO 5.6mm bullets, it is designed by the famous gunsmith Kalashnikov from the former Soviet Union, and is commonly known as the submachine gun.”

He was dissembling the gun really fast, using special tools at the same time. Within five minutes, an assault rifle was dismantled into pieces!

“How many parts have I disassembled?” Grandpa Gen asked abruptly, pointing at the pieces of the gun all over the desk, “Give me a number.”

From the moment he picked up the gun, Ye Jian’s training session had begun.

Pointing at the parts on the desk, Ye Jian said slowly with gentle smiles in her bright eyes, “This is the last piece you put down; this is the 47th part that you disassembled; this is the 74th piece which you took apart. Grandpa, you have taken down 80 pieces in total. Am I right?”

Was she correct? She was precise!

After training for half a month, Ye Jian was prepared to concentrate at any moment, because Principal Chen and Grandpa Gen enjoyed asking her questions unexpectedly.

Grandpa Gen burst into laughter again. He complimented Ye Jian repeatedly, “Not bad, not bad. While you can make detailed observations, you should also know what these components are for!”

“The 47th part is the reset spring lock. When a bullet is fired, the bolt of the lock jams a narrow path inside the gun, so that the gun will not be reset, thus bullets can be fired continuously. The 74th part is called the gun buckle, which is used to…” As Grandpa Gen picked up the pieces to illustrate their usage, Ye Jian, who knew zero about guns previously, started to understand the structures of them slowly.

For the whole day, Grandpa Gen disassembled guns constantly, while Ye Jian recited the number of components of each kind of gun and their specific usage.

Not only had she touched different sorts of guns, including assault rifles, shotguns, semi-automatic pistols, bolt-action rifles, revolvers, etc., but she had dismantled them personally to gain a deeper understanding of them.

“The revolver, the ejector rod, the cylinder… the rebound slide spring, the rear view object…” Ye Jian repeated what she had learned both yesterday and this morning, holding her textbooks in her arms and walking to her classroom.

A new week had started, and she had returned to her school. However, she was still immersed in the sea of knowledge of guns.
