Gun Club: [1/28]

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Since Parker told me I could couldn't seem to get her act together, Marty opened up the gun range and did a once-over the weapons locker to make sure that everything was in order.

He then made sure that the safety rules were up:

SAFETY RULES:

· TREAT ALL GUNS AS IF THEY WERE LOADED

· KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL READY TO FIRE

· BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT’S BEYOND

· ALWAYS WEAR HEARING AND EYE PROTECTION

· NEVER USE ALCOHOL OR DRUGS BEFORE OR WHILE SHOOTING.

· CHECK IN ALL WEAPONS BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE RANGE.

Breaking any of these rules means an immediate visit with Mr. Smith, or the guy with the funny hat.

Come on in, sign in, and go 'splodey.

Taking a paper wrapped cartridge and a pistol ball from one of the pouches, Pippi was agast.

"Bunnynapped??? Gee-hosifat! That's horrible!"

She slid the cartridge into the barrel followed by the pistol ball.

"Yeah. But at least I got her back. And she's fine. Grr. Can your animals talk, by the way? I kept meaning to ask."

She watches Pippi prepare her gun with interest; new weapons are always a good reson to visit Gun Club. This one looks antique but serviceable.

Pippi pulls the ram rod from it's place on the gun (http://static.flickr.com/27/92189976_6b395e771b.jpg?v=0) and taps the ball into place. Then she takes the black powder horn (http://static.flickr.com/15/92211953_5b92efb9bd.jpg?v=0) and primes the pan. Then lowers the frizzen (http://flickr.com/photos/strongestgirl/92189976/) in place.

"That's good." she said, "'Cause if she wasn't, it would be clobberin' time." she sets up a target.

"Talk?" she asks cocking the dog. "Well, they don't talk English... Or even Swedish for that matter. But they make themselves understood well enough."

She takes aim with her left hand; while she's looking at the target, she's pointing the gun far wide to the left. She's practically pointing it at the wall.

"I know Professor Dream has spoken to Mr. Neilson. Old Man is more the strong silent type ya know?"

"Thanks. It's been handled. Well, at least as much as it can be."

Parker's lips quirked. "I'll take your word for it on the Old Man. And I find it's always good to check-- there are a couple of talking animals around here. Or ones that used to be students." She cocked her head. "If you don't mind my asking, where did you get that firearm?"

Pippi pulled the trigger resulting in much noise and a little acrid smelling smoke. Dispite the fact that she was still pointing at the wall, the target developed a hole right about where the trachea would be. ((ooc: I assume they're human silhouette targets here?))

"Heck heck heck!" said Pippi putting down the gun and dumping all the pistol balls out of the pouch onto the counter.

"Where'd I get it? Oh, my Papa and me, we used to travel pillaging and looting all over. We killed a bunch of pirates and picked this up off a corpse somewhere off the coast around Madagascar."

She pulled out a jar of some think looking ointment and started polishing each pistol ball with it.

Parker shudders when Pippi *actually* pulls the trigger when the gun is not pointed at the target, but before she can protest, there's a hole in the silhouette.

"What the hell?" Looking from the gun to the target, she asks, "How the hell is it working, when you're not aiming it at the target?"

"Well, I was trying to make a nose..." said Pippi crinkling her own nose, obviously disgusted with her aim.

She shrugged, continuing to polish her ammo with the ointment and a bit of leather, dropping each one back in the pouch when she was done with it.

"It's a flintlock. They're actually better for more up close and personal type stuff." she said, "Usually you need a lot of them and you don't shoot until you can get it here." She stuck her index and pointer finger into her gut, "Or here." this time the held them up under her chin.

"You shoot and drop it, grabbing another off your belt to shoot again, or you flip it around and club your assailant over the head with it, that's partly why you got this metal bit at the end of the grip here." Pippi picked up the gun, holding it by the barrel, just ahead of the Lock and mimed bashing somebody with the heavy wooden grip of the gun.

"If you shoot from range it's very inaccurate... Unless of course you've been using a particular piece for a very long time and you're used to its particular inaccuracies of course." she smiled.

"Wanna try?"

"I think... not," Parker said carefully. "Although thanks for the offer." That explained the wack-o aim and deadly results. "I think I'll stick to what I'm comfortable with. But thanks for showing it to me."

Re: Shoot

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Sure thing." she said and went back to shooting (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/572005.html?thread=27069029#t27069029).
