The three of them conducted a long session of test firing, primarily to verify the stability of the guns and bullets. Gao Yang's gun was an old piece, and the bullets were also aged. After many decades had passed, it was uncertain if the bullets were still as stable as when they were newly manufactured.
Eventually, Gao Yang took the K98 that Fedor left him, and also selected a Springfield M1903, while Cui Bo and Phoenix each picked up the same model of M1903.
During World War II, there wasn't much choice in sniper rifles, so if one wanted to improve accuracy and stability, the only area for further work was the bullets.
After Gao Yang and the others did some preliminary testing of the guns, the next step was to take the spent shells and drive to Portland to find Jack.
