"Just one," Linx answered. "You have to do that between every shot... You'll see why in a second. Go ahead and pull the trigger when you're ready." It looked like he was... Only Kade could answer that, though.

*Kade nodded again.* "Ok." *He lined up the middle of the target with the beads along the barrel of the rifle, waited a second just to make sure he had it right, and pulled the trigger. The recoil rocked him back on his bracing footpaw, which now he could see wasn't braced so well. He teetered on that footpaw for a second before gravity took over and he landed flat on his back. Amazingly enough, he was still holding the rifle at a right angle to his body so it was now pointing straight up at the ceiling and Kade had a goofy grin plastered on his face.* "Awesome!" *Was all he could say, he hadn't even seen where his shot had gone but it was still cool.*

The round had gone wild, ricocheted off the ceiling and buried itself in the upper-left corner of the wooden barrier. Linx glanced back at Kade, a bit surprised at his still clutching the repeater but nonetheless concerned. "Kade, are you all right? You look completely insane so I'm not sure if I should even be asking you, of course..."

*Kade kept the goofy grin on his face as he lifted his head up a little so he could see Linx better.* "Dude, that was awesome!" *Almost the exact same thing as before but it seemed to get the point across well enough.*

"Well, if you like getting knocked over, I'll just kick you in the face or something, but try getting up so you can take another shot..." Linx glanced up at the ceiling. The bolt had left a nasty mark in the aluminum ceiling paneling. "Your last one hit the ceiling."

*Kade had a hard time getting off the floor due to the fact that he wouldn't relenquish his hold on the repeater rifle with either paw. Eventually he struggled to his feet.* "Yeah, sorry 'bout that." *He said this in a cheerfull manner which showed that he wasn't sorry in the least bit, he was too excited to be sorry.*

"Yeah, sure you are, take another shot, and if it punches a hole in the ceiling, I'll stick your head through it, 'kay?" Linx gave Kade a menacing but playful grin and gestured to the target. "Don't fall over. Just absorb the recoil into your shoulder, roll back with it. Don't try to not budge, that's impossible."

*Kade nodded and glanced down at his footpaws.* "Might be good if I set up my footpaws better too..." *He followed his own advice and set himself up for another shot. He was about to pull the trigger when he realized that he had yet to crank it up. He laughed a little to himself at his own thoughtlessness and proceeded to do so.*

"Oh, no, pull the trigger now," Linx joked, "you won't get any recoil at all!" He promptly burst into laughter. It probably wasn't a very nice thing to say to Kade but that was the mouse who'd just dashed up his ceiling, after all.

*Kade grinned as he finished cranking up the rifle.* "Hey, at least I wouldn't end up on my back again, eh?" *He didn't plan on ending up on his back this time either. He lined up the beads with the center of the target and braced his legs so as not to fall over. He had pretty much forgoten what Linx sayed about rolling with the recoil instead of trying to not budge. So in saying, when he fired he didn't fall over; not at all, in fact, he barely moved as he shot even though the rifle kicked back into his shoulder pretty hard. The shot was actually a pretty good one; it was close-ish to the middle, just a bit to the right. Kade wasn't paying attention to that though, because of the fact that he hadn't rolled with the recoil, the kickback had caused a pretty good amount of pain. -That'll be sore in the morning... and right now...- He was biting his lip to keep from yelling.*

Linx looked to the target first, noting the accuracy, or the lack thereof, of the shot, then to Kade. Upon doing the latter, he almost recoiled himself. "Kade, what did you... You look like you're standing on a nail! Didn't you at all absorb the recoil?"

*Kade did the best he could to talk through his now gritted teeth.* "If by absorb... you mean... didn't move... when I shot... then yes..." *He couldn't get anything else out. He would have put the rifle down right then except for the fact that he really couldn't hardly move much at all...*

Linx took the rifle out of Kade's paws forcibly. He found it took much more energy to do that than he should have had to. "I mean move back with the recoil, not try and just stop it... You could kill yourself doing that! Are you all right?"

*Kade's arms were locked in place. They where all tight and he couldn't really move them at all. Due to this, he looked pretty pathetic having his arms in the position he had when he actually had the rifle in his paws. Now the rifle was gone but his arms were in the same position.* "I- I can't really... move my arms... ow..."

"Well, don't... Why can't you move your arms? That's the most random medical condition I've heard of in my life!" Linx observed Kade's rigidly held arms with a hint of a smirk on his face. This was too ridiculous to respond to in any other way. "Don't try to move them if they won't by themselves, of course, I don't want you to tear your arm off. Yet."
