Marksmanship.

I practice marksmanship for a hobby, none of that elven bow crap. Good old fashioned HUMAN designed firearms. Its relaxing, affordable and keeps me ready in case my neighborhood ever goes orc.

The man who figures out how to make an incendiary bimetal silver/cold iron core jhp that feeds well will have at least one lifelong customer.

Bows are crap, unless you feel like blowing a pile of gold the size of a sedan, and even then you need 2 hands. Besides, some of us spent good money on periapts of anti magic to deal with jobless bookworms with nothing better to do with their time then go ethereal and hassle decent, working folk.
Somebody please tell me he is evil so i can cast something on him...

Well hey, according to this, enchanted weapons are permitted in they're ancestral weapons.

I better call my grandma to see if the Sato family happened to have a sword at any point.

I practice marksmanship both as a hobby and as being prepared - you can only really be truly good at something if you do it enough to imprint that into your brain and your muscle memory. Fun stuff, especially when you get to shoot something totally ridiculously high-caliber for shits and giggles. Or when there's tannerite involved. Tannerite makes any range-trip better by default.

Seriously. Get a shotgun. If it fits into the shell it fires. If the shell fits into the gun it feeds. That's the wonder if a pump-action smoothbore.

Running into that war golem on the job has me spooked though. Wondering if I should spring for
something more high powered.


Couldn't hurt. I mean, the worst that happens if that you come to a job and never use it, right?

This is how Julia and I get by. Julia's belt and the associated sword are family heirlooms, and my dad's got several enchanted weapons that predate the weapon laws and therefore count as heirlooms. It's kind of nice having a dad who's nearly 150 years old.

As a man that has killed people with a bow, I can safely say you have no clue what you're talking about.

I'd take a gun over a bow anyday, but a bow will still murder things dead.

SWEET!
Okay, so apparently my family does have an ancestral sword, but we're not "The Main Sato Line" so my side of my dad's family didn't get it.

But what I did find was my Papa's (grandfather on my mom's side) Custom Bowie Knife from World War II.

He called it "Cloak and Dagger" and with good reason. See he fought in the Pacific campaign and is one of the survivors of Guadalcanal, and one of his tricks to survival was that he would tell my mom and her sisters (and later me) "guns are too loud".

So he had this custom knife made that let him slit throats with impunity. It has a Greater Invisibility Enchantment and a Self-Silencing Charm.

It also can carve a mean steak according to my mom.

Actually, my papa also owned a custom .357 not unlike what Quinn's described. Sadly, it went to my cousin when my papa passed away.

But according to my mom, on 'full power' the thing put holes in tanks. BIG holes.

Heh, silly peoples with their silly guns. If you want to get rid of someone up close, look at the way they're walking, then use geomancy to dig a hole with a thin layer of earth on top. When they fall in you close it up. Dead, buried and little traces of what happened. Might be a bit noisy at first, but no plan is perfect.
