Survival Skills [Wednesday, Period Four]
Today the Danger Shop was set up to look like a shooting range, and the students were directed to collect the appropriate safety gear as they entered. Once all the students had gathered, Bond began.
"Afternoon, class. This week, we will be continuing on from last week's discussion of unarmed combat by looking at armed combat. Now, since we would be here until graduation if I attempted to discuss every single weapon ever used in combat, not least because any random object can be turned into a weapon if one is motivated enough, which I would strongly suggest you all remember for future reference, we will be looking at one particular subset of weapons, namely guns, and you'll have a chance to practice with two different kinds."
Bond then launched into a brief lecture on the history and basic principles behind firearms, before pressing a control and causing a pair of weapons to appear by him. He picked up the first, moving slowly so the students could see what he was doing as he stripped the gun and put it back together. "This here is a Walther PP9. Semi-automatic pistol, German design, as far as sidearms go, I've always found it a good all-rounder. Ear-muffs on." As soon as the last student had their hearing protection on, Bond turned and fired, double-tapping the target.
"This, however, is a Heckler & Koch UMP," Bond said, putting down the PP9 and picking up the second weapon. "Submachine gun, more stopping power than most, but a comparatively low rate of fire, still it's quite useful once you get used to it." He fired again, turning the two neat holes in the paper target's chest into one larger, somewhat more ragged, hole.
Bond pressed another control, causing more guns to appear. "Now, I would like you all to try out both the PP9 and the UMG, so as to get an idea of the differences. However, despite this being a simulation, do remember to treat these as if they were real, with live ammunition."

She kept practicing.

...She looked at it with the sort of skepticism one might give a dog that looked like it was going to pee on your leg. This...would be interesting.

After he'd acquainted himself with how the gun work and started target practice. It took him a bit to get the sights settled but, once he did, he was a good shot.
