WHAT || Weapons training
WHERE || Knights HQ, Training Room / Armory / Firing Range / Gym, Dragnon's Hide wing, 2nd floor
WHEN || Thursday, Feb. 16th, from 10am onwards
HOW || Actionspam

Just like Fred said, at the top of the main staircase is the entrance to an incredibly spacious room, that has gym and weight training equipment on the wall near the door, and then lots of old school training dummies and more at the far end. A glass door enters into a firing range, and another pair of large doors on the farthest wall lead to the armory.

The room's full of the clanging of metal, as Dovan and Luthir fight, sword to axe, across the room, and Fred gathers everyone up on the gym side to explain things.

Not unlike a crossbow. Generally you don't want to point it at something unless you intend to be putting a bolt in it.

Exactly. Same concept.

Ok, so, holding the thing. Your dominant hand is your gun hand and you need to keep it gripped high on the back of the gun like this. It'll give you way more leverage when the thing jerks.

[Andrea mimics the grip, just to be sure she has it right]

How much of a kick are we talking?

[shootfirst]

On the Knight issued guns? It's really not so bad. But if you don't have a solid grip, well... bad things could happen.

[piratitude]

I bet. Why don't you give me a demonstration?

Gladly! [ And she merrily moves to the line, popping a pair of big headphones over her ears and taking aim. Her tongue pokes out of the corner of her mouth as she pulls the trigger... and lands remarkably close to the bullseye. ] See? Easy!
