They also need to be easy to carry and conceal, and engagements are usually at close range and indoors, rarely occurring at distances of more than fifty meters on the battlefield. Therefore, the standard equipment for cops is mostly a pistol.

The second weapon was specially made for the tiger cub: a submachine gun. This type of weapon is often found in police combat equipment. It excels at close-range fire suppression, and its relatively short barrel makes it effective in narrow and extremely close-range situations, preventing the cub from being disarmed at close range.

Even on the battlefield, the best way to deal with a close-quarters battle (CQB) situation in a confined space is to throw away your rifle and pull out a pistol or shotgun, rather than trying to shoot a target who is already close by with a rifle.

Finally, there were semi-automatic rifles prepared for the Yeti team, which were standard long guns, since they weren't cops.

Although nominally security guards, they are essentially still guerrillas or elite reconnaissance units.

The reason for using a semi-automatic rifle instead of a fully automatic rifle is simple—ammunition is expensive, or more accurately, the production of the turret-type firing tube, which serves as the ignition source, is limited.

“This was specially made for you, a miniature submachine gun…” Old Xia opened the box, revealing a pair of black and white weapons that were slightly larger than pistols. “25 needle-core bullets, each firing tube can support two magazines, and the rate of fire can reach more than 800 rounds per minute. However, the corresponding power is also lower.”

After all, the total energy provided by a single firing tube is limited. The more shots fired after a single replacement, the lower the power of each shot. Among these three weapons, in terms of power alone, this submachine gun has the lowest power.

"However, its recoil is more stable and it is more suitable for beginners, since you usually don't need to consider accuracy when using it. But I have also set up single-shot and fully automatic shooting modes for you."

Low power is not a problem for the police at all. In fact, if the power is too high, it will be inconvenient for them. They may not have the courage to fire, and they could easily kill a passing civilian with a stray bullet. This is not a battlefield.

So don't spout nonsense about why not use rifles; you're not fighting insurgents in Afghanistan.

"By the way, I sourced all these parts from Titan Industries, including the crucial firing tube and barrel materials."

These are all verifiable details about the imported goods, so in a sense, Lao Xia wasn't lying. "So, if you want to replenish these ignition tubes, it should be quite easy..."

"So what are the flaws?" The little tiger quite liked the black and white guns. After all, a sophisticated industrial product is often aesthetically pleasing, possessing a refined, accurate, and sharp beauty.

“There are no flaws in you…” Old Xia nodded and said.

"Ah, when did you become so eloquent?" The little tiger's face flushed slightly.

"I mean it." Indeed, there were no flaws for her, because the only flaw of this thing was that it cost a lot of money. This was not a flaw of the weapon, but a flaw of the user, and Little Tiger, as one of the four richest women in Terra, naturally did not have this problem.

Just like one of the drawbacks of using etched bullets in firearms is that they are expensive, but for Jessica the cat-head, there is no drawback, as she can buy a whole box of etched bullets with her snack money.

However, firearms have a drawback: they require users to have received specialized training and possess sufficient Originium Arts talent.

The weapons Old Xia manufactured didn't have this problem, leaving only one issue: "To be honest, considering the cost of its ammunition, I don't recommend equipping the Guard Bureau with them. Of course, it's fine for you to purchase some personally..."

"Can it be mass-produced?" the little tiger asked happily.

"No, I assembled this by hand. But you can contact Titan Industries and place an order to have it custom-made. Do you really need the money?"

"That makes sense!" Little Tiger nodded. Anyway, Old Wei didn't say he couldn't pay for the Guard Bureau to equip it with new gear, so it was definitely possible. Large-scale equipment involved various aspects and was not very convenient.

However, it seems there shouldn't be any problem equipping the Guard Bureau with some new, high-quality firearms.

In the subsequent shooting practice, Lao Xia had to teach her several times before she could barely master the correct shooting posture. Whether it was because she was too stupid or for some other reason is hard to say.

After mastering the basics of using pistols and submachine guns, Little Tiger did not attempt to use rifles.

Because the Yeti on one side was already very skilled at firing and calibrating the 2x optical sight.

To reduce recoil, this semi-automatic rifle uses a heavy barrel and a long barrel design. It is a bit too long to be used by the police and belongs to the standard long rifle category. However, its advantage is that its accuracy allows it to be used as a marksman rifle or even a sniper rifle.

Moreover, the luxurious configuration of 10 rounds of ammunition per magazine and one firing tube makes the power of a single shot far exceed or even surpass the needs of the Guard Bureau. It is unknown whether criminals can be killed with this weapon, but it can certainly penetrate the cover and kill the civilians behind it.

The Long Spear White Rabbit has already been named. Hopefully, in the future, Ursus prisoners will not ask them who defeated them and what weapon they used. This kind of question is very common in Terra, where people still have the habit of fighting with cold weapons. It's as if the opponent used some famous sword or blade, so their defeat is justified.

The rifle was officially named "Snow Rabbit" because there are two small cylindrical protrusions behind the bolt for electrothermal reaction. In addition, the handguard, stock and receiver are all made of milky white polymer material. When it is not painted with camouflage and is disassembled, it does look like a big white rabbit.

Compared to the Pink Bunny Rifle, enemies killed by the Snow Rabbit Rifle suffer slightly less magical damage and psychological humiliation. "Do you have any complaints about the name I chose?"

"No, I just feel that in the future, the enemies might die with their eyes wide open in disbelief."

"After we die, when we meet down there, one says I was killed by Patriot's power halberd, and the other says I was killed by Snow Hare. Wouldn't they be so angry they'd come back to life on the spot?" The Yeti Comedy Troupe started their traditional act again.

"They could also say they were killed by a Yeti, without mentioning the name of the weapon."

"But what if someone asks what weapons the Yeti used to kill you? Should I say they killed me with white rabbits?"

"That means...you guys chat, I'm going to reincarnate first!"

"Are they always like this?" Little Tiger nudged Old Xia with his elbow. "I mean, are they usually this humorous and funny?"

"It's the same on the battlefield. I suspect that the psychological damage they inflict on others on the battlefield may be greater than the physical damage."

No one can tolerate their opponents being a bunch of clowns and clowns on a life-or-death battlefield, especially when they're running you over in their exoskeletons.

The exoskeletons and power armor made the Yetis's chatter even worse. After all, driving such equipment requires very little physical exertion from the soldiers. They have enough leeway and energy to chatter on the battlefield, which can also help them relax and prevent them from developing PTSD.

It easily causes PTSD symptoms in the enemy, quickly transmitting mental pressure to the other side through nagging and banter. This can probably be considered a unique form of magical damage.

"You can name these two guns; they're made for you anyway."

"Woo—" The little tiger thought for a moment, "If it's a pistol, let's call it Claws..."

"Ah, it shares the same name as my gun."

"Isn't that perfect? ​​By the way, wasn't this the kind of gun you were using before?"

"No, that one is more powerful and not suitable for police use." He was telling the truth. The military-grade standard Claw Gauss pistol was indeed far more powerful than this Terra-made, locally-developed, electrothermal pistol.

"Hmm, if they are different, but have the same name, then the mediator?"

"A good name..."

"Hmm, let's call him Mediator..." Having a large-caliber thermal-powered gun pointed at his head can indeed effectively mediate most conflicts and disputes.

Moreover, considering the daily work of the Guard Bureau as cops, it seems quite appropriate and fitting to call them armed mediators.

“As for these two…” Swire looked at the two submachine guns that were perfect to her, “They are usually used when there are many enemies, and when the accuracy is poor, that is when there are no civilians on the scene… Hmm, let’s call them Suppressors.”

The absence of civilians and the presence of only enemies meant the outbreak of riots. Using such high-rate-of-fire guns to suppress enemy fire and resistance made calling them "suppressors" entirely appropriate.

"Can I ask how much this ignition tube costs?"

"No less than 3 Lungmen Dollars..."

"One box?"

Of the "one root", the travel expenses were 20,000, the pagoda was divided into 8000, and the cost was 2,000.

“It’s a little cheaper than etching rounds, but only a little cheaper,” Swire nodded. “It’s certainly not suitable for large-scale deployment to patrol teams. However, it’s perfectly fine to keep some in the department for necessary emergency response.”

Police equipment is often more expensive and performs better than military equipment, which is why police don't use it every day, so the logistical burden is much less.

A box of etching bullets costs approximately 5 LMD, and the number of bullets in a box is roughly equivalent to the number of shots fired from a single firing tube, although the latter also incurs the cost of the needle core bullets.

Fortunately, the jacketed needle core bullet itself is very cheap, costing only a few cents. It is essentially a short metal needle wrapped in a thin layer of conformal polymer. When fired from a pistol, it will quickly ablate into a bunch of fine iron fragments due to air friction after 70 meters. Beyond that, it has no lethality at all.

However, if it's the 7.9mm caliber of the Snow Rabbit rifle, then it's not a needle bullet, but a nail bullet. Its semi-power-depleted range is 350 to 400 meters. At close range, it can penetrate heavy ceramic steel plate armor, blow a big hole in the back of the body, and kill instantly without any chance of rescue.

By replacing ordinary iron bullets with steel bullets or tungsten steel armor-piercing bullets, it is even possible to easily penetrate the protection of a normal military armored vehicle and kill the crew inside while they are seated.

However, the energy consumed by the firing tubes is quite high, which means that if they were made into automatic rifles and machine guns, Lao Xia's production capacity simply could not supply so many tower firing tubes. However, it is not a big problem to install them on vehicles and directly power them with the dragon-type box-type wet component host.

Just like many modern weapons that could have been made semi-automatic or fully automatic, but ultimately remained bolt-action, it wasn't due to limitations in firearms technology or the battlefield, but simply because—

The bullets couldn't keep up with the consumption. When a new recruit pulled the trigger, a magazine would be emptied in as little as 4 seconds. At that time, the bullet supply simply couldn't keep up with this rate of consumption.

However, Terra doesn't have a need for automatic rifles. With two-thirds of the troops using melee weapons and less than one-tenth of the remaining one-third equipped with firearms with a range of over 400 meters, semi-automatic rifles are sufficient to provide adequate firepower suppression.

For Terra Battlegrounds, adding a bayonet mount would be more useful than changing it to full automatic mode.

Moreover, the Yetis are all Ursus people. Terrans are naturally strong, and Ursus people are among the strongest men in the Terran population. The added weight is not a problem at all, especially since they are wearing exoskeletons.

So, half a month later, Titan Industries assembled a batch of equipment using Xia's design drawings and gave it to Swire. Xia hadn't lied about this, but he had kept some of the truth to himself. This weapon was indeed assembled using parts from Titan Industries and the snowfields; it was like assembling a shelf-sold item.

Master Ke didn't even bother to do it himself. He just sent out the packaging drawings, and the infected workers on the snowfield quickly assembled a batch. The only problem was that they didn't have time to paint them, so they were all sent over in their original colors.

This was no problem for the wealthy woman at all. She quickly found an expensive designer to design the gun markings and paint scheme, and then hired a painting studio to finish the production of the weapons.

They all had a beautiful dark blue background with bright silver Guards Bureau grip markings. To prevent the logistics department's bastards from smuggling these things, Swire assigned a serial number to each gun, and Old Xia also helped her add a laser code that couldn't be removed by regular polishing.

A short time later, the Imperial Guard Bureau;

"Bang!" A cryogenic storage box was slammed onto the conference table by Little Tiger. "200 boxes of ignition tubes, two boxes for each person, and one extra box as a spare, while they're hot!"

"Sir Swire, you're so generous!" She usually keeps these expensive lighters herself, and the storage room key is in her possession; no one can take them.

“I learned through some channels that a large pharmaceutical group is preparing to continue human smuggling. A laboratory they previously collaborated with was attacked, and they plan to restart the project.” Swire took two boxes of igniters out of the box and put them into a small pouch on her belt.

"So how many targets do we have?"

"one……"

"One? Then they'll just come back again."

"Snap!" Little Tiger closed the box after seeing everyone had taken their ammunition. "Of course, do you really think Old Wei is reliable?"

"Isn't there also S.C. Chen?"

"Let me tell you this clearly, Pink Intestine Dragon is Old Wei's niece. Do you really think she can do whatever she wants?"

"Old Wei is unreliable, and Inspector Chen is no good either, so what can we do? Who can we rely on? Those shadow guards? A bunch of Imperial Guards sent by the Great Yan?"

"What decent person could stand these guys? Can you stand them?"

"I don't like them..."

"I don't like it either."

"Can people who hang out with these guys be considered decent people?"

"Disgusting!"

"Hahaha—" A burst of laughter erupted in the conference room.

“Alright, enough joking. I’ve already managed to get the search warrant, don’t worry about how I got it. Next, we’re going to raid the Rhine Lab’s secret outposts in the temporary resettlement area and the construction site in the lower city. They’ll never admit to this, so we have to act quickly, without letting a single word slip by, and we absolutely cannot give them a chance to destroy the evidence,” Little Tiger said.

"Speaking of which, Sir Swire, what's that thing on your ear? It looks like it's sparkling."

"Oh, it's a gift from Lao Xia. Is there a problem?" Something resembling a black headband, similar to that of a white rabbit, was wrapped around the tiger's ears, looking like some kind of fashionable modern accessory.

"Oh... that's nothing." It was just a pair of earrings or other decorative items given by her fiancé. Everyone lowered their heads to check their equipment and the documents they had been given.

Meanwhile, outside the Royal Guard Bureau, at the half-finished construction site, the sign read: "Monitoring position number one, nothing found! Over!"

"No anomalies detected at monitoring station number two, over." "We spotted a fellow patrolman here at station number three, but he didn't notice us." The Yeti scout, wearing a night camouflage hood, crouched between the bare building frames, hidden in the shadow of the tower crane.

"Take care of him!" White Rabbit, standing in the temporary command post on the rooftop overlooking the entire old city, said into the communicator, and soon a low, muffled sound came through.

The silencer cannot completely eliminate the sound, but in the old town where construction is going on everywhere, the sound is quickly hidden among the noisy industrial machinery.

"Target down! I see the cleanup team, they've already dragged the body away, clean!" A 7.9mm semi-thermal nail bullet entered the temple, no one can expect to survive.

"Swire, you guessed right. Your Guard Bureau has been placed under surveillance. I don't know which faction did it, and as for whether there's a mole, I don't know."
