Tactics and Teamwork, Wednesday - Second Period
The dangershop was almost exactly the same amount if boring as it had been last week. The only difference this time being a shooting range against one of the walls.
"Last week a number of you expressed some discomfort with the guns." Which, you know. Weird. "So today we'll be training on them."
A beat.
"After laps. Get moving."
Did you guys think you could skip cardio? Because you couldn't. Don't be that guy at the gym who only does weights. Cardio is your friend.
Only after laps were done and teams once again sorted out did the actual lesson begin. Hope you kids liked that armor still.
"When handling a gun, always assume it's loaded. Your finger does not touch the trigger until you are ready to fire, is that understood?" No friendly fire incidents here. Again. "When aiming, face your target directly, knees slightly bent and leaning forward just a little bit. Leaning back will put you off balance when the gun fires. Squeeze the trigger, don't jerk your finger or the only thing you'll hit is everything but your target. Unless the target is a particularly broad barn."
Which, oddly enough, were pretty rare in space.
"Sight down the barrel and make adjustments from there. And keep your breathing even." No big deal. Not like that was a lot to think about. "It takes time, so don't be discouraged if you don't get it right away."
Washington gave the class a look that was completely obscured by the helmet, but it was indeed there. So deal with it.
"Get with your team and work together on improving. I'll walk around and make any corrections necessary."
