After finishing his meal, Fernando washes his dish, glass and silverware; putting them away where they belong on the dish rack. He takes a time out and go through the channels of the satellite TV, finding nothing on the 9999 channels. The local and national news were still going through their daily commentary, which Fernando knew was government printed material since the government controls over 95% of the news media.
Bink and Tammy come down stairs and sit on the livingroom chairs. Bink had her viola case, with her
FN-P90 inside. She pulls out the machine gun and starts to disassemble it and cleans each part with such expertise that it belies that she is just a child and not a preprogrammed child cyborg assassin proficant in using many weapon and being able to kill with what every was put into her hand, even if that thing put into her hands was a bible. all Tammy was able to do was to stare at her sister as she worked.
Fernando: What's wrong Tammy, not used to having your sister do that?
Tammy: No.
Fernando: Just observe. See how she throws all her concentration on completing the task. How deliberate her actions are, in not making a mistake.
Tammy does not answer, being fixated on her sister's actions. Fernando rests back against the sofa. Within a 1/2 hour's time, Bink has her P90 cleaned, oiled and reassembled. She goes through the motions to make sure that every componant moves freely and without binking or sticking. She then takes out her
SIG Sauer P239 and dismantles it to be cleaned. She makes easy work of the handgun, taking less than 1/2 the time to take it apart, clean it and put it back together. Tammy takes her
SIG Sauer P239 and places on the table in front of Bink. Bink looks at it and then at Tammy. Tammy just nods at her, moving closer to see how its done. Bink unarms the weapon and places the single bullet in the chamber back into the magazine, and the magazine at the far end of the table. Bink goes slower in dismantling Tammy's hand gun, pointing out how she lays out each part on the table and how she cleans each piece. As the gun is reassembled, each piece is pointed out and oiled. After a few tests, Bink rearms the gun and hands it back to Tammy. Tammy looks at it.
Fernando: Its not for cracking acorns, you know.
Tammy looks at him with a mean look. Fernando pulls out his American Arms .45 Model 1984 and places it on the table. The AA.45 is about 3 times larger than the SIG Sauers.
Fernando: Now, thats for cracking acorns... and Brazil nuts.
Tammy looks at the gun, and has a difficult time in lifting it up. Bink reaches for it, and lifts it out of Tammy's hand as if it weighed nothing.
Tammy: How...
Fernando: She's not 100% Squirrelly you know. You forget that she is, from what I can figure, 30% cybernetic mechanized artifical body.
Bink slides the mechanism, finding it being able to move with little effort and as smooth as glass on glass. A bullet round pops out and lands on the table. She stops herself from dismantleing it. Fernando picks up the bullet and slowly takes the gun from Bink, placing it on his lap. He then takes Tammy's gun and ejects a round from it, and then places the two rounds side by side.
Fernando: Lesson 1- the size of the bullet does not matter, but it does help. The type of bullets is another factor to deal with, but lets say that in all cases, we are dealing with cheap rounds. Only way to effectively stop anyone is to put 2 rounds to the middle of the body or one to the head. Dont let the adrenaline keep you from holding the trigger down and wasting all your bullets. Dont waste time using your sites to aim. By the time you have got them aimed, they would have shot you. Its best to point your arm and hold your gun straight in the general direction at close range and that should be enough to hit your target. Finally, you have to remain calm while in a gun battle. The calmer you are, the easier it will be to win. One panicked thought enters your hand and you'll so something crazy or stupid and those shooting at you will take you out. Do I make myself clear?
Tammy: Yes sir...
Fernando: Understanding theory is one thing, Tammy. Applying theory into practice, is somthing totally different.
