He's moving.
Got him!
Even the AK-74, -
that masterpiece of close-quarter weaponry with its low-recoil automatic fire, -
is no match for the firing range of your custom rifles, Professor.
They may have cost quite a lot of money, but warfare is life-and-death.
Even those seasoned soldiers are more cautious after that shot just now.
Their strategy is to halt our men using German G36s, the evolution of the famous G3 rifle, -
and with English-made FALs, -
then finish them with M16s, which are powerful in close-quarter fights, eh?
The elder Sabine has completely mastered the multi-scope you developed, hasn't he Professor?
When fired, bullets encounter air resistance, falling as they travel.
In other words, travel distance will vary depending on the firing angle.
Measuring the enemy's distance via the high-performance laser rangefinder
and placing them in the digital viewfinder makes even difficult, long-distance shots possible.
On top of that, there's the digital compass.
It even includes a thermal imaging device for day- and night-time use.
I've gotta hand it to you for developing a super sight like this, Professor!
To be expected from the Sabine Brothers, France's top mercenaries.
Using the guns that I've put my heart and soul into retrofitting, -
the XM29...
and the F2000...
you've made short work of the world's four great assault rifles.
You will spread my modifed rifles throughout the world.
As for the obsolete M16...
It will be buried, along with Golgo.
Then WE will become the world's best snipers!
If Golgo takes the bait, this will all be concluded in 10 days...
I continued to wait, secretly holding my breath
While simply clawing at my heart
One minute and one second had never felt this long
I look up at the sky and ask of the wind
Oh, can I run free now?
That weak me of the past isn't here anymore
I've decided only to believe
Take the wave
With these hands I grasp now the dream I've pictured
Toward you
Take the chance
With my back to these emotions I'd felt broken
Toward you
Blown by the wind
Oh, blown
The Masterpiece Assault Rifle
The two guns they're shooting now are the modified rifles that Kaiser sent.
But for the Future Force Warrior Project, -
our proposed next-generation, integrated infantry combat system, -
are they the right assault rifles?
There's very little recoil, and the hit ratio is extremely high.
That's not an answer, Colonel.
Sure enough, they're both splendid weapons, fine rifles.
But...
But what?
A gun's true capabilities can only be proven in actual battle conditions.
As Kaiser has said, if we finish Golgo 13 with these guns, -
people worldwide will recognize how advanced Kaiser's weapons are.
French-made cars suit Paris's streets...
But now? The number of Japanese cars continues to increase, like a plague.
The proliferation of Japanese cars contaminates European tradition!
Move slowly.
Okay...
In 10 days, a world-famous rally race will be held...
and the car the Japanese are using tops the list as the likely winner.
If that happens, our domestic auto industry will completely collapse!
The course will be the same as in previous years.
It is at this point here, in Niger's Ténéré desert area, that I'd like you to shoot the Japanese car.
This curve is a high-speed corner taken at more than 200 KPH.
If you hit it here, you can inflict crippling damage.
You want me to aim for the tires and blow them out during a high-speed corner?
Exactly. The car will flip and be unable to recover.
However, there can't be any evidence left behind.
Shooting out the tire of a high-speed car that kicks up desert sand and not leaving a trace
is something that only you could do!
Please, Mr. Togo! Please say you'll take the job!
It's been a while. I'm glad to be able to work with you again, Mr. Togo.
Do it in four days.
That's a bit of time for your work.
Another specialist probably couldn't do it even in a year.
Do you know about Kaiser's customized assault rifles?
Yeah.
European arms dealers call him a genius of rifle modification.
I was invited out to his factory, you know...
The roots of what we know as the assault rifle lie in the MP43, -
a weapon developed by the German army toward the end of the Second World War.
From this, the Soviet AK47, the German G3, the British FAL and the American M16 all evolved.
Later, the 1970s saw the arrival of the bullpup assault rifle.
The big difference between this and the M16 and so on
was that the action was mounted far back in the stock.
This resulted in shortened weapon length and excellent mobility, -
giving it the advantage in close-range combat.
Starting with the Vietnam War, the M16 was used extensively in battle and continually modified, -
coming to be renowned as a masterpiece worldwide.
However...
However!
The modified weapons I present today far surpass the M16; true masterpiece assault rifles.
These customized XM29 and F2000 assault rifles boast increased accuracy, -
and are fitted with a "super sight" developed by me.
I believe it won't be long before we can show you all just how excellent these weapons are...
Those customized XM29 and F2000 assault rifles were pretty incredible.
Golgo 13...
The M16 you are attempting to make is also a masterpiece of an assault rifle.
I'm tellin' ya, I'm all right!
A gun's accuracy depends upon the precision with which the chamber area is bored out.
Unless the center line for the bullet tip, casing and muzzle all match up perfectly
and unless the barrel is completely straight, the bullet won't travel.
That is the point of this additional metalwork.
The upcoming work on the chamber is all important!
I will use no equipment, just many years' worth of skill and experience.
I must make my five senses give their all, and do this by hand...
What an outrageous request he's made!
I fell asleep without realizing it.
Trade that out with the barrel on this gun.
No doubt that gave even the great Golgo a shock.
Being sniped at from a distance farther from his own...
We've cut off his means of escape. Even he can't hold out for long.
Naïve judgments give rise to faults that can be exploited.
Golgo is able to draw out the maximum capabilities of the M16.
But the M16 doesn't hold a candle to your super sight!
Can you hear me?
Golgo 13's next tactic could be a close-quarter fight.
You should know how good we are at close-quarter warfare...
Do you think you're just facing any old enemy? That's Golgo 13!
Don't worry yourself, Brother.
He'll make his move soon enough.
Yeah. He should know he's at a disadvantage in a drawn-out fight.
The sun'll be going down soon.
Come dusk, the odds will be even more in our favor.
His weapon's scope shouldn't have night vision.
Now then... What kind of move will you make, Golgo 13?
What is he thinking? Why won't Golgo 13 make his move?
Simply because he CAN'T make a move, Professor.
He's in motion!
Bastard!
Don't screw with us!
Sure enough, he can't do anything at all.
Wh-what a frightening man he is!
He just collected four pieces of information with that move of his.
One, how many enemies. Two, their position. Three, ammo capabilities.
Ammo capabilities?!
From time to impact.
350 meters in 0.4 seconds, meaning 5.56 mm high-velocity rounds, which he should know.
And the fourth thing?
The fourth is... From the automatic fire just now, -
he should know that both weapons are bullpups, an XM29 and an F2000.
It can't be!
All we can do now is count on the Sabine Brothers' combat skills.
With this super sight, I can see everything.
This time, I'll be the one to try making a move.
Understood, Brother.
Why? Why does Golgo 13 move?
Looks as if he finally feels up to the challenge.
You going to pick him off, Brother?
Yeah.
At this distance, he's within range of my assault rifle but his M16 won't have enough reach.
Let me at least take the first shot.
Fine. But don't finish him off.
Understood. I'll let you have the honor of killing Golgo 13.
Get down!
Golgo changed position to put the rally course behind him!
You son of a bitch!
What happened?
Why did my bullets miss... and yours travelled this far?
Why?! Why did he miss, even with the super sight?
The slope.
Slope?
Sighting works differently on a slope than on flat ground.
He exploited the sight's weakness: its calibration to the horizontal standard.
He used the car's headlights to kill the younger brother and the slope to kill the older.
Golgo 13 is a truly terrifying man.
Just tell me one thing...
How could you hit the elder Sabine from that range?
With an M16A2, even if a bullet could travel that far, it should have missed.
This is custom. It uses a SUPER barrel.
Someone could actually make a barrel like that?
A custom M16A2... A masterpiece of an assault rifle, eh?
The sight of you giving your all to such small things
Days in which you've become brave
You can't move if you stay as you are, indecisive
Like standing on a glass highway
Though it's filled with dreams and danger
Little by little, let's walk this long road
And just like that time before
You're laughing
In the breeze of the salt air, there was a whisper
That sparkling, faraway day was an illusion
It's far too soon to be defeated by such trivial things
Till the end of time...
Golgo assassinates Marty, a mafia boss...
giving Marty's mistress, Linda, her freedom.
Her wishes, her dreams are fulfilled.
But in the next instant, her gun is leveled toward Golgo...
Next time on Golgo 13, "Pretty Woman"
Pretty Woman Next time on Golgo 13, "Pretty Woman"
Pretty Woman
Do not stand behind him if you value your life!
