Girls with Guns [Wednesday after classes]

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Today Triela only had one, admittedly large, gun case out for today's demonstration.

"You're not going to get to use this one today because there's not really enough space, but I do want to give you a chance to see a sniper rifle. This is a Heckler and Koch PSG1. It's a sniper rifle designed primarily for medium range work. If you remember the battle rifle from last week, this one uses the same ammunition. The longer barrel and greater mass of the weapon give it greater accuracy."

"It's also semi-automatic, which means it's relatively rapid-firing. Semi-automatics aren't as accurate for a number or reasons, but they're perfectly good for medium range work. If anyone wants to take a look at it I'd be glad to let you get a feel for the weapon, but the range here is too short for a real demonstration."

"And that's it! You're welcome to work with any of the stuff we've talked about. Now get to it."

Algren eyed her for a long, long moment at that question.

"No malls," he replied. Firmly.

Very firmly.

"Agreed," she nodded immediately. "It just needs to be somewhere with plenty of open space."

"I'm afraid I don't know my way around the mainland," Algren noted, frowning thoughtfully. "At least, not the mainland in this day and age."

Re: The Advisor

"Me neither. Not around here, at least." She frowned. "Do you know anyone who does?"

Re: The Advisor

[shiroi_tiger]

"Offhand? Anyone who could find a place where a group of unlicensed teens with sniper rifles can fire live ammunition without the authorities noticing?"

...

"No, actually. Do you?"

"America has all that open space. I'm sure there's some space out in the middle of nowhere we could use."

Right?

Re: The Advisor

[shiroi_tiger]

Sigh.

"No, Triela."

Because not only was that very, very high on Algren's list of 'very bad ideas,' it was also...

No, that was about it. It was a Very Bad Idea. And he had to at least pretend to be responsible about these things.

Triela frowned slightly. "Wait... you don't like the idea." Oh, look, Triela was totally a genius at reading people.

"I think that me allowing this particular bunch to stand in an open field with live ammunition on the mainland would display a level of gross irresponsibility that I'm pretty certain would cost me my job and land me in prison."

He was brutally honest, sometimes. Yes.

"Especially considering I lack proper identification in this day and age, as, I imagine, most of these students do."

Re: The Advisor

"I should be able to obtain false credentials."

Not helping, Triela.

Re: The Advisor

[shiroi_tiger]

"Triela." This was Algren's 'please, stop now' look. "No."

Re: The Advisor

Oh. She knew that voice.

"Sorry."
