"Perhaps, this kind of result is actually quite normal."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Because unlike a sniper rifle, which is designed for precision with its long barrel, this gun has a barrel almost the same length as my handgun, just slightly longer. So, its accuracy is definitely not as good as a typical sniper rifle. Moreover, using Wind Jujutsu Paper to forcibly increase its range makes the bullet trajectory particularly unstable. Additionally, due to the extended range, natural wind and other factors have a much greater impact on the bullet during flight than with a standard sniper rifle. And with the use of Wind Jujutsu Paper, the recoil during firing is also significant, further affecting accuracy."

This analysis was spot on; an excessive range indeed affects accuracy. Is this the result of blindly pursuing range while neglecting precision?

At this point, Crepes·Clair added,

"Although its actual range is only 1KM, theoretically, it can reach up to 4KM."

"How was that 4KM range calculated? It's not just a made-up number, right? Wasn't it said that it couldn't be measured accurately?"

"Well, that was actually calculated by a computer."

"A computer?"

"Yes, by simulating all possible data as accurately as possible without any errors, a person can precisely target objects up to around 4KM with this gun. Of course, this requires exceptional skill in using Jujutsu Paper, but such a person..."

"...!"

Ah, so it was calculated by a computer after all. The result is achieved under nearly ideal conditions, but in reality, humans are not machines and are prone to tremors during usage. In practical scenarios, natural winds are present, and on top of that, achieving such precision with Jujutsu Paper would require skill four times greater than that of a professional. This transcends human capabilities.

Contemplating this, Ryuto couldn't help but exclaim,

"By the way, for such long distances, how does one aim to ensure hits? Regular sights wouldn't suffice, considering the maximum range is supposedly 4KM..."

Well, that 4KM range is quite far-fetched.

"That's not a problem, as the sight component has already been designed. After all, the key aspect of a sniper rifle is hitting the target. While custom-making sights is challenging, it's much easier compared to making the gun itself."

"So, does that specialized sight enable visibility beyond 4KM?"

"Yes, in fact, it allows visibility up to 10KM, even crystal clear at night."

...!

The gun may be subpar, but the sight is remarkably well-crafted. Duke Crepes, perhaps you should consider switching careers to telescope-making.

With this in mind, Ryuto couldn't help but sigh,

"Doesn't this gun become a failed creation then? Having long range alone is useless, and even with such a sight, it's pointless because... even with visibility, hitting the target is near impossible."

"Ah, I share the same sentiment, but my father disagrees."

"Oh? Does Duke Crepes have a solution in mind?"

To this, Crepes·Clair closed his eyes and shook his head.

"Not quite. My father simply believes that not just anyone can wield this gun. Therefore, standard testing is pointless. But in the hands of a specific individual, it will undoubtedly achieve the intended effects."

"A specific individual?"

Hearing this, Ryuto seemed to have found the answer.

And Crepes·Clair's following words confirmed Ryuto's suspicions.

"Yes, that cloaked figure."
