Firing Range, Wednesday after lunch

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip is leaning against a weapons locker in the firing range, looking bored and wishing he had two hands so that he could light a cigarette.

Angel and his unnamed friend should be by soon.


[[OOC: Pip's here for Angel and whoever Angel's friend is, but anyone can use the range for their shooting things needs.]]

Pip adjusted Angel's stance with his left hand. "Remember to squeeze, not pull. And don't count on your super-vampire strength to eliminate all recoil for you. When you can, always shoot with both hands," he said as he adjusted. "Only shoot with one hand if you absolutely have to or if you're trying to use two handguns at once. Otherwise, both hands on the gun." He stepped back. "Alright, try again."

"Least I don't have to worry about breathing," Angel said. He fired two handed. The aim was better but he didn't look happy. "I'm more comfortable with one. Too much of a righty."

Pip nodded. "Believe me, I know exactly what you mean. Consider youself lucky, though. I had a mean Scottish bastard who'd smack me everytime he caught me shooting with one hand without his permission. Keep it up and then we'll see about improving your one-handed firing."

"Had much luck with demons and guns?" Angel asked, curious.

Pip shrugged. "Haven't had a chance yet. I think. Though there was that one guy I shot in the head who got back up again, but I'm pretty sure I was hallucinating, 'cause the guy was wearing a priest's stole and you don't find a lot of priests in Uganda." He tilted his head to the side slightly. "Shouldn't blessed bullets hurt 'em, theoretically?"

Angel thought about it. "Depends on the priest. If he's already holy, a blessed thing probably isn't going to hurt anything."

Pip shrugged. "True. Like I said, I think I was hallucinating." He nodded towards the target. "Keep practicing with the two handed stance."

"Could've been a demon," Angel said. He tried the two handed stance again. As before, he did better than he did one handed.

"Don't think so," Pip said. "He seemed pretty devout. Kept screaming about heretics and blasphemeres while cutting soldiers apart with these huge bayonets. Weird stuff." He watched Angel. "How much experience have you had with other guns? And bend your right arm a bit."

"Can be a demon and be devout," Angel said. He bent his right arm. "Some. They're fun for torture, don't do much to kill. Not what I aim at."

Pip shrugged. "I still think it was a hallucination, anyway. Try shooting again."
