[Next, she picks up seven aluminum cases from the floor and slowly slides each one over. When unlatched, each contains a weapon that looks something like this, except that it also has the Knight's symbol of a dragon on the handle, and the words EXCALIBUR across the barrel.]
Those of you with no previous experience with... firearms may receive training before taking these to the field, but a standard briefing applies. This is your Excalibur - a weapon designed in our labs and modified from the Glock 17s that officers use in many countries. As far as pistols, it is... extremely safe to carry, because the action remains disengaged until the actual moment of firing. Which means it doesn't require other safety catches, making it very quick to operate, which is essential in the field.
[She opens a similar case, drawing out the accessories.] Each comes with a silencer, which will muffle the sound of blasts, but not dampen it entirely. Each magazine contains 17 shots.
[She seals the case again, locking it down tightly, before looking up at that] Owning a weapon like this is, of course, a tremendous responsibility, but the same responsibility as any other weapon in our care. A sword may take a life as readily as a gun, and so might a wayward spell. We give you the tools but we will also give you the training. You, however, must make the decision of when and where to pull the trigger.
