Girls With Guns - Shooting Range [Wednesday afternoon]
"Sometimes, you don't have the best working conditions," Makita began. "Maybe you're out in the desert, and you get sand in your barrel. Maybe it's pouring. Or maybe you tripped and dropped your gun down a canyon and had to go fetch it. But it's important to know how to safely take your gun apart, clean it, and reassemble properly to prevent jams or other accidents."
Triela was nodding. "And even if you're somehow lucky enough to never run into bad weather or terrain, just firing your weapon is going to put wear on its parts. Knowing how to check to see which springs or pins might be close to wearing out is something you'll need even if you only ever shoot a gun out on the range."
"If this is something you already know how to do, we have blindfolds!" Makita held up a selection of bright silk scarves she'd purchased from Pixie Dust. Because they were pretty. "You might not always have electricity!"
"Makita's right. Or you might be outdoors at night. There are any number of reasons that you might not have enough light to properly see when working on a gun. But only take a blindfold if you actually know what you're doing." She and Makita might race later or something. "Even when you're taking one apart, a gun is not something you play around with." Triela looked around. "If you need to borrow a weapon to work with, talk to us. Tool kits are also available. We'll be watching your work, so if you're not sure what to do, just ask."
