Alright, time to listen up, people. Most of you assholes managed to not mess up during that last battle. We'll credit that to your special powers, especially our good pal with the red underwear. Lucky us most of you knew how to fight and that the chumps we were up against got their weapons from a metal scrap heap. So good job to everyone who

I'm pretty handy with most firearms, and I'm used to teaching people how to use them.

[moonlightoutlaw]

That could come in handy. Might need a substitute for bullets. Ammo ain't exactly common around here. But it is out there on the battlefield.

[captain_in_you]

Hmm... maybe we can get our hands on some just for practice. I can teach the care of a gun without ammo, but they need to be able to fire it for target practice.

I'm also decent with knife-throwing too, if that's of interest. Guns are my strong point, though.

[moonlightoutlaw]

You figure something out and I'll send 'em on over to you. Harkness, right?

[captain_in_you]

That's right. I appreciate it, gives me something to do.

I've been trying to figure out the same thing; I'm getting a little rusty with the shooting and need to practice.

Only two solutions I could figure was to try and see if the Malnosso would give us rubber bullets to use, or trying to carve some out of teak wood. Had a guy on my team that had the teak ones special made for his shot gun. I think I've got a few floating around my place if you want to take a look at 'em.

Hell, if we could get them to cough up a bullet press, we could get the guys at the smithy to smelt the metal parts for us. Still need gunpowder, though.

[captain_in_you]

If we can find a way to get the bullets made, I'm sure we can figure out some gunpowder.

Or maybe we can just ask 'em for more bullets. If they're gonna be drafting us like this, they're gonna want us in fighting condition, right? And it doesn't seem like our weapons do much good against them, anyway.

[derek_bliss]

That would make sense, but these guys don't always make sense. And I know that one guy tends to tut around about us not killing each other, so their logic would probably be along the lines of 'we give them more bullets, they'll kill each other more often'.

...Which is why I'm thinking the rubber bullets. Cops use 'em, but you can't kill someone with them, unless you have spectacular aim and even more spectacular luck.

[There's a pause and a snort.]

...or we could always ask them for a few paintball sets with the high end guns. The better quality ones are weighted like the real thing.
