-Oh hey it's a gun range! Or at least a reasonable holographic facsimile thereof. Maya has set up the ECHO's camera on a shelf behind her and moves to stand behind a table with five guns on it.-

So, everyone else I met during that thing with the space bikers... yeah, that thing... anyways, everyone I met seemed kind of amazed by the gear me and the other Vault Hunters were carrying around, so I thought I'd give a demonstration of some of my inventory. I'm not opposed to loaning them out if it's really needed, but I think we should probably know what everyone is capable of, in general.

-She picks up the first gun, a pistol.-

This is the Dahl Corporation's "Dahlminator". It was never mass produced as the only ones ever made were left behind in the Caustic Caverns when Dahl left Pandora. This is one of a few in existence, never to be replicated, largely because the caustic elemental charges it uses... -She opens up the chamber to demonstrate the glowing green core.- ...were manufactured from the acid lakes in the caverns themselves. You could make another gun like it, but it will never be exactly the same, or as effective.

Now, this gun is what we call a "dart" E-tech gun, meaning instead of physical bullets, it fires energy darts. But the Dahlminator's are special. Watch.

-Maya points the gun right at the camera, firing a short burst... Three slow moving swirling blips of energy move out from the barrel, sure, but their velocity is considerably drawn back, and to top it off, they move AROUND Maya to hit the mounted target behind her.-

Homing bullets. -The target proceeds to melt in a cloud of acid produced by the bullets then exploding.- With a timed discharge.


I've got four more guns here. -She gestures to each gun with a sweep of her hand.- Pick one, and I'll show it off. I have more, too.

[Only because Maya showed him how the work the video function does this even work. Krieg is always excited to shoot things.

He picks up his own special gun and takes aim at a target.]

You forgot THE BEST GUN!! IT SHOOTS SWORDS.

[No. Really. It shoots swords. Krieg unloads a clip and out of the barrel comes swords. That explode. And break into other swords.]

[This really is the best gun ever.]

You never start off with the biggest firework, Krieg. -But she can't help but laugh at his enthusiasm.-

Why mess with the rest WHEN YOU HAVE THE BEST?!

[As much as I hate slag, show off the caster.]

FINE, FINE, THIS ONE SMELLS LIKE HOME.

[Krieg pulls out...well, as much as "digistructing from seemingly thin air" counts as pulling out, a plasma caster. The bullets aren't really bullets, either -- they were energy orbs. A blackish purple haze wafted off of the target now.]

[Let her explain slag.]

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!

Re: video;

[blight_phoenix]

That, ladies and gentlemen, is Slag. On our world, it's basically run off from refined Eiridium. Getting coated in the stuff weakens the physical constitution. You basically become like glass for a bit.

Krieg, pop that target to show them what I mean.

[She didn't even need to ask. He pulled out a basic Vladof TMP and shot at the target. The poor target didn't stand a chance.]

HAHAHAHA, TAKE THAT, INANIMATE OBJECT!!

I feel like we should be getting paid for this...

I'LL SHOOT THINGS FOR FREE!! GETTING PAID JUST MAKES ME SHOOT MORE THINGS!

Be right there.

Re: [video]

[blight_phoenix]

Don't trip on the way in.

[action]

[abtakha]

[Cassie does not trip. She has catlike reflexes. She also does not hear that message as she literally dashed out her door. She is carrying a backpack bulging with weaponry. No doubt this alarmed passersby, which was fine with her as it got them out of her way. She ran all the way there.]

Re: [action]

[blight_phoenix]

-A few security checks later... the gate to the holorange opened, and Maya was on the other side, still holding the Dahlminator.-

What took you so long?

[abtakha]

Not all of us got that foxtrot lostech storage system. [She says with a frown and begins shrugging out of her bulging pack'o'guns.]

[blight_phoenix]

-Oooh, loot.- Well well, what do we have here?

[Hi, hello, never mind how enthused Chloe looks by all of this.]

Don't suppose you're lending out any spares.

Re: video;

[blight_phoenix]

All in all, I have roughly 30 armaments from home and my Ready Equip can only hold four guns at once. That being said, these also are the sort of weapons you need to practice with before going into a combat situation.

[totallytrustworthy]

Practice as in 'remember your gun safety, kids' or 'if you hold it wrong it'll take your head clean off'?

[blight_phoenix]

Both, actually. Mostly the latter, though.

[totallytrustworthy]

Point taken. Well if you're keen on passing out instructions along with those demonstrations, I'm game for signing up.

Can never be too careful when you're floating about in space. [The word 'space' doesn't come out with much love, despite the easy grin she's wearing. ]

[blight_phoenix]

Now that you mention it... I'm uncertain if any of these will even work in a vacuum.

[fuckaccuracy]

You know what? Knowing that these guns are out there kind of makes it all worthwhile.

[God bless.]

Also? The Swordsplosion is awesome and anyone who says otherwise is a douche.

[blight_phoenix]

Both of you two, focusing on that gun. -She can't help laughing.-

[fuckaccuracy]

If you ask me? It should way more than just us two. [I mean, come on.]

[blight_phoenix]

I had a feeling you'd say that. Regardless, there's more to life than exploding swords.

... I mean, that doesn't make exploding swords incredibly awesome, but we've got to look at the bigger picture, arsenal wise.

[fuckaccuracy]

You're right, Maya. It's not all about the exploding swords.

[Though it should be.]

Lets not forget that elemental transfusion and singularity grenades are also fucking sexy. Especially if they're the homing type.

Good luck running away from that, you bastards.

[blight_phoenix]

See, there you go. Diversifying.
