Chapter 45 Law Enforcement Equipment
“Ding ding ding…”
Old Theon had a bunch of keys hanging on his index finger and led Milo through the corridor and into the weapons warehouse, vomiting clouds along the way. Wu:
“There are actually not many types of law enforcement weapon systems in active service, but there is no explicit rule that law enforcement officers can only use active weapons. You know what I mean.”
Heavy arsenal After the door was pushed open, what came into view were all kinds of hot and cold weapons, hanging on the shelves and walls.
On the left side of the shelf are various old pistols, rifles and other hot weapons, while on the right side are a series of cold blades.
All weapons are engraved with the totem of the Judgment Scythe of the law enforcement system and the corresponding number.
According to the unified configuration standards for law enforcement officers, everyone can be equipped with one hot and cold weapon each.
“Normally, unless there is a major violent incident, no one will choose a bulky thing like a rifle as a side weapon. The original intention of the black windbreaker is to conceal the weapons on the law enforcement officers to the greatest extent. You are stupid to carry a rifle that is more than one meter long, right?"
Old Xion put out his cigarette at the door before entering the weapons warehouse.
"So conventional weapons are basically pistols with long blades, or daggers, which are light and do not affect movement."
He patted the weapon bags on both sides of his waist and pulled out a black-plated reflex weapon with his backhand. The machete was handed to Milo and introduced:
"My favorite, I forgot the specific model and name. I named it my ex-wife because it has the same terrifying abilities as my ex-wife. Destructive power."
Milo weighed the machete in his hand.
The weight is quite good and the grip is very comfortable. The integrated keel design greatly increases the strength of the knife. The black coating on the surface also blocks the reflective effect and increases the concealment.
Milo raised the blade and carefully touched the edge of the blade.
"Three-stack steel forging technique."
"Oh? It seems that I don't need to introduce too much, you can choose for yourself." Old Xion was slightly surprised, then waved his hand and signaled Milo can pick out weapons by himself.
After all, he is someone who can recognize the machete forging technique at a glance.
"No, I'm just complimenting your ex-wife." Milo handed the machete back to Old Xion and walked slowly in the cold weapons area.
More than 80% of the law enforcement officer's cold weapon system is in a hard-core minimalist style, with no decorative layers or engravings other than etched law enforcement images.
But there is still a small part that continues the style of classical weapons, that is, medieval rapiers and some exquisite short daggers.
“No one has chosen these fancy things in recent years. They are basically sitting here eating dust. They can be sent to museums in a few years.”
Old Xion sneered.
The practicality of this type of weapon is indeed lower than its ornamental value. Maybe it can be used in some important ceremonies, but the law enforcement system is not interested in rituals, and many scene-related things can be used. Save money and keep everything simple, so there is almost no chance for fancy weapons to appear.
"Choose one."
Old Theon seemed to be curious about what kind of portable cold weapon Milo would choose.
"That's it, but I want to correct the angle of the blade. This one is too narrow and will break easily."
Milo took down a bowie from the shelf knife.
The broad blade is etched with the totem of the Judgment Scythe as well as the bleeding slot, the tip of the drop blade, and the S-shaped guard. This type of knife has a nickname as domineering as its shape, called butcher's knife.
"Good taste." Old Xion nodded, and then asked: "Okay, as usual, you have to give this beautiful lady a friendly name first."
"Then' Ex-girlfriend." Milo chuckled and gave the bowie knife the same name as old Xion.
"Do you have an ex-girlfriend?" Old Theon sneered at Milo's behavior of stealing ideas.
“Well, that’s true.”
Milo joked hard.
The two walked around the shelves and into the hot weapons area.
The most eye-catching thing in the hot weapons area is a slender rifle placed on the long table.
The different treatment from other weapons shows that this thing must have its special features.
Milo glanced at the weapon nameplate - Whitworth.
The body of this Whitworth rifle is slender and graceful. The leftmost end of the side plate of the firing mechanism is engraved with wheat ear patterns from top to bottom. The butt is made of high-quality walnut. The butt is smooth, and there is a metal butt bottom plate at the end of the butt.
"0.451 caliber, 914mm front-loading rifle barrel, flash cap firing method."
Old Sheehan picked up the slender rifle, made an aiming movement, and introduced:
"It is not a weapon in active service and is not in mass production, but it is currently the only rifle with an accurate range of 1000m. You can think of it as a sniper rifle, but ordinary people cannot play with it. It is usually a shooting hobby of the aristocratic class. "
Milo looked at the factory gun oil that was still intact on the barrel and muttered: "So is it still a virgin?"
"Yes, one. The gun was not fired.”
Old Theon smiled and lowered his rifle.
"Let this old maid just display it for now. I guess she won't be able to put it to use anymore. With such high accuracy and range, someone has to be able to use it... Look at the short video here. Type weapons first.”
……
The shelves are full of short-barreled thermal weapons.
Mainly pistols.
Old Xion casually pulled out a pistol: "If it's more retro, I'd choose this one. Although it's an old thing, many people like it, such as our law enforcement chief." "A flintlock musket?" Milo shook his head. Shaking his head, it was obvious that he didn't like this thing.
Rebecca carries this type of old-fashioned pistol with her, flint fired, single shot.
The most important thing is that the strength of this piece of shit is too low. Although the accuracy and destructive power are good, it is the type that requires two hours of charging and five minutes of talk time. In battle, it is almost equivalent to a disposable consumable. , after firing one shot, there is no time to reload and prepare for the second shot. (Similar embarrassing scenes refer to the battle in the abandoned asylum in the valley)
Perhaps Rebecca is that kind of retro player, which can also be seen from the detachable cold weapons she carries with her.
But Milo was different. He would definitely not choose an antique like a flintlock musket that had been in service for more than two hundred years.
The memories belonging to Karl that were preserved in his mind also strongly suggested that he make another choice.
“It has to be this one.”
Milo took out a brand new Remington revolver from a box.
This is a modern heavy-duty revolver. The total length of the gun body is 36 cm. The front section is an octagonal barrel with internal rifling. It is 20 cm long. There are 6 chambers on the revolver nest. For a fired bolt and separate ammunition, the flash cap, gunpowder, projectiles and gaskets must be loaded separately each time.
Compared with single-shot flintlock muskets, the 6 chambers of the Remington revolver provide 6 shooting tolerances, and the pistol is also designed with a folding depressing rod under the barrel, which is more accurate than the filling of the flintlock musket. It’s so easy to play.
The most important thing is that this thing is a masterpiece of high-power pistols currently on the market. The speed of lead bullets fired from large-caliber pistols using black powder can reach more than 300m per second. When shooting large targets such as horses, It can also kill with one hit.
This is the thermal weapon most suitable for law enforcement officers. It is violent, efficient and deadly.
……
“You can ask the people in the technical department about the use and maintenance techniques. If it doesn’t work, ask me again.”
Old Theon nodded.
He is still very satisfied with Milo's choice.
Although Old Sheon also wore a flintlock musket around his waist, that was because the revolver had not yet been invented when he joined the job. The flintlock musket had become a part of his career and he wanted to switch suddenly. Other weapon types are not as easy.
After Milo selected his weapons and equipment, he went to the management office to register under the leadership of Old Xion.
Colleagues from the management office checked Milo’s law enforcement certificate and recorded the weapon model number.
After leaving the arsenal, Old Xion lit up his cigarette again and stood by the window of the management office muttering: "The bowie knife needs to be re-edged. The angle should be increased. It doesn't matter if you sacrifice some sharpness. In addition, you need to configure a Wearable leather scabbard, gun too."
As he spoke, he threw a cigarette to the law enforcement officer inside the management office window.
The latter caught the cigarette and clamped it to his ear. After quickly recording all the contents, he tore off a pickup form and handed it out along with the heavy revolver.
"The gun can be taken away. The knife and other accessories will be picked up at noon tomorrow. In addition, take this pick-up list and go downstairs to pick up the uniform."
"Thank you."
...
After going up and down the law enforcement building several times, Milo finally completed all the preparations he needed to make on his first day on the job.
When he returned to the criminal investigation team's office with two sets of uniforms in his arms, Old Xion pointed to a few desks in the corner with countless documents piled up and said:
"Clear an office by yourself. You can choose any seat that no one is using... If you don't smoke, you can go to the window, everyone here smokes."
Milo spent a lot of effort to get rid of the mess. I cleared all the file boxes into the corner to make a clean desk for myself, and finally put the two sets of uniforms on the table.
The uniforms provided by law enforcement include various accessories, such as built-in white shirts, black vests, jackets, windbreakers, and even small accessories such as ties, sleeve loops, and belts.
With this complete set, even if it were worn on a pig, it would at least be a bloody black pig.
......
Old Theon rummaged through the cabinets and found an old gun bag and threw it to Milo. He will make do with it today.
Milo tied the hanging bag to the belt around his waist and put the revolver into the gun bag. It was just right.
"Remember, cold weapons can be carried with you, but hot weapons must be temporarily stored in the management office when not on duty. Don't take them home carelessly after get off work."
Old Xion stepped on his boots casually. At the corner of the table, he tied his shoelaces with a naughty gesture, and wiped the dust on the boots with the cuffs of his windbreaker. After tightening the boots under his feet, he casually grabbed the file and patted the dirty table. .
He turned to Milo:
“Don’t change the clothes underneath, just put on the windbreaker and try it.”
Milo obeyed the order and put on the law enforcement Official’s unique black trench coat: “Just right.”
Old Xion crossed his arms, nodded, and signaled:
"Put on the hat."
"Mask."
......
The leather tricorn hat covered Milo's chicken head. Against the background of the black windbreaker, the whole person's temperament instantly felt oppressive.
"Okay, that's what happened."
Old Xion stood up straight and straightened his collar:
"Now that we have everything we need, let's start working. , let’s go to the outskirts of the city to catch someone.”
…
“Eh? So fast?”
