-Artorias nods, reciting the important parts as he tries to aim down the sights. It's quite like a handheld crossbow, just with a bigger recoil. It takes about an hour, but he's gotten to making consistent placed shots by the end. By the second hour, he's reloading and firing like a pro.-
-@Six- Well, I think all I need is a means to carry this and I'm good to go. We can't keep everyone waiting on me, can we?

'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.Six: Yeah. Retention holster should be cheap compared to that thing.
Just remember. Don't go brandishing that about the station unless you want a firearms license. And even then... you keep it in a case.
One of our own is spoofing the cops in the event we forget this. It'd be wise to not piss her off.

-Don't go waving the powerful...'gun' (still feels weird to say that) unless we want unnecessary trouble. Keep in a holster, and aim if I intend to shoot. Got it.-
—One holster purchase later, Artorias unites with the group with his sword, shield, and his new firearm in holster.—
—@Six: Thank you for the lesson Six. And I'll make sure not to go waving my new gun around.—
'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.-Artorias spends a few more hours practicing his control with the gun, until finally he feels comfortable with it and using it in conjunction with his sword and shield. He holsters the gun (unloaded) and sheathes his sword and shield-
-@Himself- Okay Artorias. Don't forget: stay calm. Be careful. And don't forget yourself.—
—After a few calming breaths, Artorias heads to the station where everyone else is gathering for the job.—

Six: Pull the trigger to fire.
It's worth noting that you should always treat the firearm as though it were loaded at all times, even if you know - or think - it's not loaded. These things are very easy to misuse, and killing someone is just a curl of your index finger away.
So never point it anything you don't intend to shoot, and finger off the trigger until you want to fire.
As for the reload, there's a magazine release button near your thumb. Hit that, grab a new magazine and load it, then either rack the slide back or hit the slide release. Whichever works best for you.
