oom: Rifle lessons
Nov. 24th, 2015 02:41 pmFinding rifles for everyone was trickier even for milliways. She couldn't smuggle them from the armory without being noticed, but if she was going to have warriors aid them in their fight, she owed it to them to atleast get them familiar with modern weapons. In the end, she actually signed an agreement with Bar: she would be permitted weapons, but only if they would be used outside, and only with blank rounds.
That was how she and the other found themselves outside, each person with their own rifle and lined up in front of targets. Emergency or not, she had no intentions of anyone shooting themselves or someone else in the foot over this: soon as they were instructed on how to load and reload their rifles, it was on to safety.
"First rule of handling any firearm," Having given them all ear plugs to muffle the sounds of rifle fire, Sonya spoke loud to be understood. "Always assume your rifle or gun is loaded, even when not. Don't ever point the muzzle at anything you don't want destroyed, and don't put your finger on the trigger unless you're getting ready to shoot something. And finally, always be sure of your target and what's beyond it. You'll be shooting at moving targets,miss the target or hit a non fatal area, there's the risk of a round passing through and hitting one of us instead of the enemy."
This was why they were having target practice in the first place. Better now than learning on the fly.
Sonya lined herself up with the rest of her 'students'. "Line the butt and stock of the rifle just infront of your dominant shoulder, line the muzzle right at your target, finger on the trigger. On count of three, take a deep breath, and pull the trigger..one, two, three."
ooc; threat as a party thread and feel free to thread with others learning.
