Hey anyone know anything about guns? Like, safety, handling, shooting them?

Not- shooting anyone at the school. I just- I don't have magic so I figured it might be good next time something crazy happens.

*She'll just- sigh as she considers the words she just said.*

Which could be tomorrow given the way the school usually goes. Hey, are there magic guns, like, ones that do spells instead of just firing bullets? But I guess that's getting ahead of myself. I don't really know if I can feel comfortable handling a gun...

I know a guy who would be insulted if I asked someone other than him to build me a gun anyway.

But I figured I'd ask for more people if anyone less busy would help me learn how to shoot and not hurt myself.

I'm thinking... something in a large handgun, just to start. Until I figure out what I'm really okay with? Those are easier than anything else right?

Often times, yeah. If you've never fired a gun before, I'd stay away from the larger caliber handguns at first. Until you know what you're getting into. Firing a .44 Magnum is going to have way more kick than a lot of people expect. And don't even think of picking up a Desert Eagle like they love in movies and video games. That thing can dislocate your arm if you're not properly handling it.

I'd recommend your first time shooting be something with less recoil and power. .22 or a 9mm cartridge would be a good first one to try, and then moving to a heavier handgun caliber once you get at least a bit of a feel for it. It shouldn't take long, though.

[...And Gunvolt isn't even from America. ...QUILL is a strange place.]

You said a bunch of numbers that I'm sure mean something if I knew more about guns than I do. But I'll take this to mean don't start with a rocket launcher.

*She's not American either. She thought a gun with a bang flag in it was a BB gun once.*

[shockingblue]

[Gunvolt laughs a bit in return to that.]

Yeah, that's not a great idea. Definitely want to go with something a little less dangerous than a rocket launcher. They're pretty fun, though.

And don't worry, if you want me to teach you, the numbers will start making more sense with a little hands on experience.

So I'll learn like how I eventually learned to read sheet music.

Eventually after a lot of other more practical things.
