"I know you're all familiar with them by this point, but I'm still going to talk about pistols today." She drew the one from her shoulder holster. "Pistols are small, portable, and quite deadly. They don't have the range of a rifle, or even an SMG, but it turns out that most firefights take place at ranges so short that a pistol is plenty effective. The low weight, quick handling, and ease of concealment mean that no matter what else you're carrying, you might as well carry a pistol too."

"Yep. That's pretty much it. I won't bore you with all the reasons some people prefer them as primary weapons. Suffice to say that for quite a few situations a pistol is the best choice."

Triela grinned. "So it's a good thing you're learning to use them, huh?"

"I suppose on an island like this, it's only a matter of time before something else happens that will require people to take arms again," he noted. "It's entirely possible that we'll get that opportunity."

He was going to leave out the fact that at this point, he was more likely to take up his sword, as opposed to trying to scrounge up a pistol and a horse.
