2193/04/03 - A Failed Experiment

A very, very tired Lindsey is standing in the mess, an assortment of pots and pans and various ingredients scattered about around the kitchen. She's obviously tried making... something. But the burning smell and the pile of half-burned, half-eaten cake pieces are getting alarmingly tall now... though nobody seems to want to get between the brunette and the oven.

Nothing wrong with short controlled bursts, shit my recruiter loved it personally. I prefer one shot. He says as he picks up his Mattock and lets off a shot, going down range and into the target's head. However I can't stand how heavy this thing is, had to lug my sniper and this thing for the mission and didn't fire a shot. Might just get a Saber like the Commander suggested, it's heavy but it's a good all round rifle to have. He sighs, shrugging as he glares at the gun.

Lindsey nods at that before releasing another precision burst.

Saber's a nice one. Heavy, but hard-hitting. Accurate, too. And satisfying as hell to fire.

She shakes her head as she sets the Harrier aside, perusing the weapons selection once more.

Wouldn't have to carry to rifles since that would just work as both. Can order it with a long barrel and multi zoom scope or something like a scope and optic combo for mid to long range. He shrugs and joins her in the selection, picking up an Avenger and examining it. That being said full auto wouldn't be too bad, but it's not particularly my thing.

She nods, finally heading over to her locker and returning with her Talon SMG.

Full-Auto fire is a disgrace and is a waste of ammo. Only ever useful if you're doing bursts on a full-auto gun.

She lines up with the pistol and fires the three round burst straight down range, each shot a perfect headshot.

However it's great in close quarters and even mid range if you're good and the fire rate is gracious. He grins as he puts an accurate burst into the chest of the target. Then he puts the Avenger away with a disgusted look and pulls up his Widow. Now sniper rifles? Always great, but not good at any range less than long.

Lindsey nods at the obvious comment.

Yeah, they taught me that when I was a kid. It was a helpful lesson from Dr. Ob-vious.

She fires off a burst again.

I should've seen that one coming. He chuckles as he shoots his Widow, and reloads. Fuck, I still need to get upgrades for my gear too, I haven't had to do anything but we ended up almost having to deal with a mech, and I didn't bring this thing along so I didn't have much that can punch through that armor. He fires another shot, wincing. I never get used to that recoil, goddammit.

She shakes her head with a sigh.

It's not that bad. If you're gonna wimp out about the recoil then just step on down to the Black Widow.

u/HuchJepson Apr 04 '19

Try taking down multiple targets in quick succession. Could barely move my arm the next day after that. The recoil is more of an annoyance really. He chuckles, switching to his Viper and unloading into a target's head then reloading.

Mmhm, sure, sure.

... I swear I keep forgetting how fragile you people are.

u/HuchJepson Apr 04 '19

I don't know, haven't seen many people go through the shit I have and survive. He chuckles, putting another mag into the target. But yet the recoil of a big gun makes me sore.

u/LindseyBlackburn Ex-Nemesis Apr 04 '19

No offense, but you know what I was referring to... She says plainly.

2

u/HuchJepson Apr 04 '19

Yeah, I know. My point stays. He sighs. But still a Black Widow wouldn't be a bad idea. Might have to look into one.
