He slapped a blaster onto a table of other blasters.

"So, instead of starting off with the fighting moves I had planned, today, we're shooting things. Silently. Grab one, grab a friend, work on your reflexes."

He smashed his fist down on a red button and not entirely realistic-looking monsters suddenly spawned all over town. There.
