*Kade nodded.* "Sure!" *He then looked around the room and realized that he didn't know what a repeater rifle looked like...* "Um, which one is a repeater rifle?"

Linx headed over to the right wall and picked one of the few obviously crank-operated weapons off of it. The barrel appeared to be a bit longer than some others and had no foregrip underneath, which was explained by Linx's picking it up with the trigger handle in his right paw and the crank handle in his left. "It's not loaded right now," Linx stated while bracing the weapon against his shoulder, "but this is how you hold it."

*Kade nodded and made sure to remember that.* "Ok." *He said simply, it was a pretty big thing and looked very unwieldy but then again, it didn't look like it had to be...*

Linx sidestepped to the ammunition box he'd tripped over before and grabbed an uncharged magazine, which he fitted a loose bolt into with one paw. He then carefully inserted the magazine into its well, looking at Kade the entire time. "I only put in one bolt to demonstrate... Normally, you can load this magazine with up to ten bolts, no problem, but I only put in one right now."

*Kade nodded again.* "Ok..." *Now he was just waiting for Linx to get on with it. He figured Linx would be aiming at one of the many targets in the room.*

Linx cocked the repeater with two slow, strong cranks, and then took aim at the target, using the trigger paw to hold the weapon against him and the crank paw to actually aim. Once he'd lined up the three beads on top of the barrel, he pulled the trigger and felt an immense kick against his shoulder as the bolt was thrown out of the weapon, through the barrel and then right through the bullseye's very center. The projectile drilled deep into a wooden barrier in front of the far wall as Linx lowered his weapon. "Yeah, it's pretty powerful..."

*Kade just shook his head after Linx had fired the shot. It had been loud enough when he had actually fired it.* "Dang, that looks like one heck of a kickback... loud to."

"Well, the recoil is slightly, um, insane..." Linx slowly lowered the repeater, looking through the hole he'd punched in the target at the hole in the barricade. "But you could try it if you like."

*A grin spread across Kade's face.* "Oh heck yes. That'll be fun." *True to his word, he couldn't wait to get his hands on the rifle, even if the recoil did knock him over the first couple of times.*

"OK, just no bracing against the wall or you might break your ribs. Or it'll fly up into your face and break your jaw. Or... You get the idea, right? No bracing against the back wall," Linx repeated while removing the magazine and giving Kade the empty weapon before walking over to the ammunition box. From there, he had to start charging the magazine manually.

*Kade hefted the repeater rifle and let the feel of it sink in. It was definantly a heavy thing and he made sure to hold it the way Linx had shown him. He practiced lining up the target with beads. He figured thats what they were for, to aim, why else would they be there?* "Right, no bracing againsts the wall. Got it."

"And... Be sure to have the stock locked in against your shoulder, otherwise it'll, as I said, fly up into your face, and I don't want to have to pick up all your teeth off the floor." Linx watched Kade's stance closely, trying not to be critical in his mind. His footpaws are too close together, he's gonna fall over...

*Kade nodded and laughed a little.* "Yeah, that would not be fun. At all." *He now turned his head so he could see Linx.* "Um, are you gonna give me anything to shoot with?"

Upon finishing charging the magazine, Linx slapped it into the well for Kade. He didn't want to have to make the mouse relinquish his grip on the weapon to load it. "Give it two cranks, forwards, not backwards... Don't worry about it going flying if you stop pushing, it has an escape gear attached so you can't make it crank backwards."

*Kade nodded.* "M'kay" *He then proceeded to crank it two time. It wasn't too hard to crank it but not too easy either. He also made sure not to put his finger on the trigger yet, just so he would accidently shoot it. After he was done cranking it he looked over at Linx.* "So I just shoot it now? How many shots do I get with that crank?"
