He's moving.
We got him!
The ultimate low-recoil automatic weapon for close-range combat, the AK-74,
is helpless at the firing range of the gun the professor developed.
Even if the guns are loaded with blanks,
they're risking their lives in this battle.
This attack has caused the experienced mercenaries to become more cautious.
They're trying to slow him down with the next generation of the famous G-3,
the German G-36, and the English version of the FAL,
and then finish them off with the M-16, which excels in close quarters combat.
The Savines have mastered the multi-scope the professor developed.
The bullet encounters air resistance as it travels, and descends as it goes forward.
In other words, the travel distance depends upon the angle of fire.
By calculating the position of the target with a laser sight and digitally displaying it,
even difficult long-range shots become possible.
Add a digital compass to that,
and then an infrared scope to allow the rifle to be used during both night and day.
The professor was a genius in developing that super-sight.
Impressive, you are truly the best mercenaries in France, the Savine Brothers.
You've done very well in using the assault rifles I put my blood and sweat into developing,
the XM-29 and F-2000, to defeat the world's four great assault rifles.
You will introduce my modified guns to the world.
And bury the obsolete M-16...
Along with Golgo.
And we'll be the strongest snipers in the world.
If Golgo takes the bait, we'll know in ten days.
The two guns being fired now are modified guns sent by Kaizer.
Are these truly the most suitable weapons for the Future Force Warrior plan,
the next generation integrated infantry combat system?
The recoil is minimal, and the accuracy percentage is extremely high.
That's not an answer, Colonel.
It's certain that these two guns are impressive.
They're wonderful guns.
But...
But... what?
The true potential of these guns can only be proved with actual combat.
If, as Kaizer says,
they were able to defeat Golgo 13 with these guns,
the entire world would recognize their potential.
French cars fit the city of Paris well.
But look at that!
Japanese cars are taking over like a virus!
The spread of Japanese cars is polluting the traditions of Europe!
Slowly.
Yes.
In a world-famous rally to be held ten days from now,
Japanese cars are projected to win.
If that happens, my country's domestic automobile industry will be finished!
The course is the same every year,
so I'd like you to wait at this point,
here in the Tenere desert in Niger, and snipe the Japanese cars.
This curve is a high-speed corner that's taken at over 200 kilometers per hour.
If you aim here, you can deal a fatal blow to the car.
You want me to burst a tire on the high-speed corner?
That's right.
The car will roll over and won't be able to get back in the race.
But we can't have any proof left.
You're the only one who can snipe the tires
of a high-speed car that's throwing up dust without leaving any bullet fragments.
Please, Mr. Tougou.
Please tell me you'll do it.
It's been a while.
I'm happy to be able to work with you again, Mr. Tougou.
Do it in four days.
That's a lot of time for one of your jobs.
Another engineer wouldn't be able to do it in a year.
Have you heard about the custom assault rifles developed by Kaizer?
Yes.
He's a European arms merchant,
known as a genius at developing custom weaponry.
I was invited to his factory.
The history of the assault rifle stretches back to the MP-43,
a rifle developed by the German army at the end of WWII.
From there, it developed into the Soviet AK-47, the German G3,
the English FAL, and the American M-16.
Then, the 1970s saw the development of the "Bullpup" assault rifle.
The biggest difference between a bullpup assault rifle and, say,
the M-16, is the integration of the mechanical firing mechanism into the gunstock.
The advantage of this
is that the shorter gun allows for greater mobility, making it more suited to close quarters combat.
But the M-16 has been through many actual battles, beginning with Vietnam,
and has been continually modified to the point where it is known as the "World's Masterpiece Gun."
However...
However!
The weapon I am going to announce today surpasses even the M-16,
a masterpiece assault rifle!
I've customized the XM-29 and F-2000
and increased their abilities as assault rifles, and in addition, added a super-scope of my own design.
I'm sure I will soon be able prove to you just how capable these assault rifles are.
The assault rifles were customized XM-29 and F-2000s, they were pretty impressive.
Golgo 13, the M-16 you're trying to create is also a masterpiece assault rifle, but...
I'm fine, seriously!
The accuracy of a gun is dependent upon the fine crafting of its chamber.
The cylinders for the body, the chamber,
and the muzzle must match and have their center at exactly the same point,
and the barrel must be a perfectly straight line, or the bullet will not fly straight.
It all comes down to the chambering that I'm about to begin.
Machines can't do it.
I must put all of my senses, my many years of experience,
and talent to work, and do it by human hand.
What a crazy request.
I'm afraid I fell asleep.
Switch it with the barrel of this gun.
I'm sure even Golgo 13 is shocked;
he was sniped at from even farther away than his own shot.
We've cut off his escape routes,
even he can't possibly survive a protracted battle.
Optimistic decisions create openings in our plan.
Golgo has the power to bring the abilities of the M-16 to its limits.
The M-16 is no match for your super-sight, professor.
Can you hear me?
Golgo 13 will most likely try to bring the battle to a closer range.
You know how strong we are in those fights.
You think he's like those punks you've fought before?
He's Golgo 13!
Don't rush, my brother.
He will make his move soon.
Indeed; he knows he's at a disadvantage in a long fight, too.
The sun will set soon.
When that happens, we'll be at even more of an advantage.
His sight isn't intended for night use.
Now then, what will you do, Golgo 13?
What is he thinking?
Why don't you move, Golgo 13?
He just can't, professor.
He moved!
The fool...
Don't underestimate it!
He can't do anything.
W-What a terrifying man...
He learned four pieces of information in that confrontation.
The first is the number of enemies, the second, their location, the third, the capabilities of their rounds...
T-Their rounds?
The time it took for the bullet to reach its target.
He knows that the bullets traveled 350 meters in 0.4 seconds; in other words, it's a 5.56 high speed round.
And the last piece of information?
From that automatic fire and sniping, the guns are bullpups; and an XM-29 and F-2000.
Impossible...
We'll have to rely on the Savine brothers' combat abilities.
He's in plain view with the super sight.
Now I'll test you.
Roger, brother.
Why?
Why are you moving, Golgo 13?
He's finally going to start to fight.
You're taking him out, brother?
Yeah.
This distance is within my rifle's firing range, but outside that of his M-16.
Let me take the first shot.
Okay.
But don't kill him.
I'll give you the honor of killing Golgo 13, brother.
Get down!
Golgo moved so that the rally course would be at his back?
You bastard!
What's going on?
Why did my bullets miss, and yours hit this far, Golgo...
Why?
Why did their bullets miss even with the super sight?
It was the gradient...
The gradient?
He took advantage of the sight's calibration memory's weak spot.
That is, that shooting on a gradient is different than shooting on a flat surface.
He defeated the younger brother via the car's headlights,
and the older by taking advantage of the gradient.
What a terrifying man, Golgo 13.
Tell me one thing...
How were you able to defeat the Savines from that range?
The M16A2 shouldn't be accurate at that distance!
I customized it...
with a super-barrel.
I never thought that a man who could create such a barrel existed.
An M16A2 custom...
That's the masterpiece assault rifle, huh?
Golgo shot the Mafia boss "Marty."
Marty's lover, Linda, won her freedom.
Her dreams and wishes came true,
but the next moment,
her gun is pointed at Golgo.
Next time on Golgo 13:
Pretty Woman.
Don't stand behind him, if you value your life.
