Chapter 121 (1/2)
121. Demon Subjugation 3
After we defeated the goblins, we walk a bit further, and this time we encounter orcs.
Well, some horned rabbits came out, but the Two Wolf Fang Members ignored it. Even though it was delicious…
Right now, three orcs appeared in front of us.
”Shoot!” (Captain-san)
Three a.s.sault rifles made a light sound under captain-san's command. Of course, there's no way to fire with full auto on three enemies, they shot the orcs using semi-auto.
Unlike pistols, it is tricky to use a.s.sault rifles for short distance. They're professional mercenary though, they never missed a single shot. … But.
”d.a.m.n, 5.56mm doesn't works!” (Captain-san)
The 5.56mm round, which captain-san chose, seems to be less effective than the full-length 7.52mm rifle. If the opponent is human, it can compensate the lack of penetrating power by increasing the bullet speed by devising the shape of the bullet tip. But if you're against monster, you still need to have sufficient penetrating power…
I think…
”s.h.i.t, it's not effective shooting on their body!” (WF Members)
Ara, the two Members who uses 7.62mm also are also cursing.
Of course, that doesn't mean it doesn't work at all, unlike human that can be killed with 1-2 shots. As expected of monsters.
First of all, they're using FMJ bullet (Full Metal Jacket). The bullet tip is unlikely to break after impact, thus the damage dealt were not that severe. Also, orcs gas thick meat unlike humans. It seems that one or two shots weren't enough to penetrate the think and tough monster's flesh to cause fatal wounds.
At the time of the battle in the Royal Capital, the kept shooting continuously, either light or heavy guns, so they did not care much about the effect of 1 or 2 shots, but it seems that monsters like orcs can't be killed unless it hits their vital point.
”Aim for the head!” (Captain-san)
Un, if you can't get through the chest, you just have to aim for the place where there are no much flesh.
Indeed, it might be impossible to penetrate the skull.
