...or how not to get caught, Period 2, 23 Jul '08

Mohinder stood by the classroom door, handing out earmuffs as the students walked in. "You'll need these. But not until after the lecture."

The Dangershop resembled an open field. Mohinder leaned back against a table with an assorted range of projectiles - and a pyramid of limes - while a range of targets littered the near and middle distance. "How many of you have fired a gun?" he asked, looking around for a show of hands before continuing. "Ballistics is where we study projectiles. This usually means identify the gun or bullets by impact pattern, bullet path or striation of the cartridge or casing. The bullet's shape, composition, calibre and casings can all help find not only the type of gun, but the weapon itself." Mohinder carried on in more detail.

"There are targets," Mohinder pointed them out - round and humanoid, "And weapons." An array of handguns, crossbows and slingshots as well as things totally moddable that were more sports-related - javelin, discus, hammer and a tennis pitching machine. "Take a look at the damage, the identify marks that they leave behind. And I hope I don't need to say this, but be careful with these."

OCD is up!
