Usually they aren't much use after they're out of shots.

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

Huh. Never heard of a limited-use gun.

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

Can't ask burdens on Earth.

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

Yeah, but if you machines, can't you just melt metal down for the bullets?

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

Getting metal is easy. Then what?

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

You said you can make explosive stuff, right? Melt the metal down into the shape of the ammo, put that inside.

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

Ever try doing that yourself?

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

Not yet, but you never know. Wouldn't mind trying.

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

[Huffs a laugh.]

Good luck with it.

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

Anyway, the point is, we've got plenty of ammo for a few test shots. So find a target.

[despitethenora]

[She rolls a shoulder, then points toward a rock.]

How about that?

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

Good choice. Go go go! It's gonna have some kickback, so hold your ground.

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

It can't be that bad, can it?

[She's lugged around a tank's gun, recoil happens. She plants her feet and takes a little time to aim before firing off a round.]

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

[ with a grin, ]

Don't toss it!

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

[Just for that. Lifts it like she's about to lob it.]

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

Gonna shoot your own eye out if that goes off.

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

Wouldn’t want that.

[She lowers the gun.]

Any other tips?

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

For clickers, double-tap. Hit 'em twice. Gotta get through the plating or whatever on their head first.

Aaaand....don't hesitate if you hear them crying, I guess. Kinda fucked up.

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

[Nods. But also.]

Never noticed them doing that before. It - would get unsettling.

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

It's runners, usually. The ones that can still - kinda talk and fight it. Or try. Not as far gone as a clicker.

[ clearing her throat. ]

Anyway, good job. We'll test some banana beer and then head out, but if you need to take a shot, you should be fine.

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

Glad to get full marks.

[She'll try tucking the gun away.]

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

[ someone who isn't Ellie should probably warn her not to shoot her ass off

oh well ]

I don't know how everyone's just living with them in the hospital like that.

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

Mostly by not going in the hospital.

. . .Getting ways to treat injuries without needing to find medicinal supplies was important.

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

You guys are lucky. If they get out and bite enough people, this place is fucked. Hell, even one person.

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

[Thinks about the sporestorm.]

Probably, yeah.
