In fact, his speculation was not wrong.
Bai Fa and her team, to ensure the power of these firearms, did not confine themselves to merely the benefits of the Power of Faith itself.
They also developed many new functions specifically for these firearms.
Most of the old inventory from Bai Yi’s stock was dug out to learn from and to research into becoming part of new weapon designs.
Had it been before, they wouldn’t have had the time and energy to go into such depth.
But times have changed, with Feyter around, relying on the protagonist’s halo greatly advanced the pace of research, this gave them the possibility to get creative.
This time, they utilized You’s Superpower Core to emulate her Extraordinary Ability and researched a type of corrosive bullet.
Not only did this enhance targeted attacks against ordinary Magic Power, but it was also in the nature of these bullets to absorb Magic Power and convert it into their own strength.
While maintaining the power comparable to a regular Energy Explosion Type, they also managed to avoid loud noises, achieving a silencer effect.
The only drawback, perhaps, is that the "special effects" caused by shooting are impossible to conceal and would be extremely conspicuous in the dark.
This issue had already been placed on the agenda, awaiting resolution.
However, the man soon spotted something amiss, not until his gaze shifted from the valley to the machine gunner in his team, did he realize what was odd.
The spacing between the bullet holes from the recent burst was far too wide.
Given the abilities of their machine gunner, such a thing should not have happened!
Not to mention three rounds from the machine gun landing precisely in the same spot, at least they shouldn’t deviate from the target.
And now these three bullet holes, if placed on a shooting range, would have been way off the mark.
But when he saw the machine gunner’s slightly strained expression, he realized what the problem was.
These firearms, powerful though they may be, had a weight and recoil far exceeding the guns they usually used.
Even he unconsciously put down the man-portable cannon he was holding.
The sniper from before, since he was propped on the ground with the earth as a buffer, hadn’t realized this.
But when it came to the machine gunner, the problem became apparent.
This made him realize once again just what caliber of beings these Kemonomimi were, who could keep the bullets in a straight line.
Thinking back to how effortlessly the Tentacle Girl shook the hand cannon in her grasp.
They were like humanoid dinosaurs!
No wonder they could serve under Fan Mao; indeed, they were not as easy to bully as they looked!
However, as a professional, although he failed to look cool handling the gun barehanded, he adjusted quickly, continuing the training with the aid of a tripod.
He even proposed several combat tactics tailored to the witches’ Innate Divine Strength that would be impossible for ordinary people but effortless for witches.
Such as using a machine gun to suppress multiple points by pivoting the barrel or how to lock down an opponent’s movements with a single firearm.
These tactics, seemingly only possible in games, were now achievable due to the witches’ physical prowess!
After a round of timed training with the witches, they still had time to test the weapons in their hands again.
They offered many constructive suggestions based on their own experience.
Of course, after this round of training, they fully recognized what kind of monster the witches really were in human form.
They only briefly mentioned issues such as weight; the main focus was on suggestions regarding firearms standardization and design.
Such as how to ensure battery compatibility for each type of firearm without affecting firing efficiency.
Or the necessity of a burst and three-round burst mode for machine guns and rapid-fire mode for sniper rifles.
After all was done, and time was almost up, the Reconnaissance witch had returned the signal from afar, hinting "the big fish is ready for the net."
"Then, as taught just now, find your optimal firing positions!"
The man commanded like he usually did with his own squad.
But the witches did not take offense to this attitude and executed the orders accurately.
Seeing the witches so cooperative, bolstered by the weapons in their hands, the man lost his fear even though they might soon face a 5th-tier squad, and he was brimming with confidence.
"Come on, I’ve never slaughtered a 5th-tier before!"
Dead I-Type Sniper Rifle (5th-tier/Gold): Attacks consume Power of Faith to launch an attack, with only one attack mode; consuming one-fifth of a standard I-Type Power of Faith battery per attack, inflicting 5000 points of Spell damage and 2000 points of Magic Power corrosive damage.
Special Ability, Magic Power Devouring: Makes a determination upon hitting a Magic Power target (Spell) if the Magic Power Value is below 500 points, it is directly devoured, if over 500 points, the target is immediately detonated after devouring, causing additional damage equal to the absorbed Magic Power Value *2 points of Spell damage.
[Note: Please make sure not to use it in an improper posture; otherwise, not only will parts of the enemy be scattered, but you’ll also end up black and blue.]
[Note to the note: Why didn’t you say so earlier!]
