SPN Drabble: Weapon Maintenance Mantra
Title: Weapon Maintenance Mantra
Characters: John (sort of), Dean
Rating: PG (GEN)
Summary: Lessons instilled in childhood last a lifetime.
Notes: Written for supernatural100 Challenge #66 - Routine Maintenance. Further notes under cut.
A/N: Liberties taken with the timeline in that the Winchesters didn't start using salt shells until Sam was away at college, but I wanted to reference them. Also, I know next to nothing about guns, so do not actually follow these directions if you own one.
Weapon Maintenance Mantra
He remembers his father's voice, hands...
Bullets out first, Dean. Unload salt shells the second you're clear. If I find salt-loaded guns in the trunk, I will tan your hide.
Take it apart. Remember exactly where everything goes. Check the bore for obstructions. Run a patch down the bore, or a solvent brush when necessary. You'll know when. Dry patch next, then a gun oil patch.
Clean the action, the hammer, the slide. Clean and oil the metal parts. Reassemble.
Don't rush unless you need to. Never, ever need to.
This is our lives, Dean. Never forget that.
Dean remembers. Every single time.
