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...

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.

[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.
