ACME Nace's Arrival

[Tex "Ace" Holdum]

Tex had sauntered over to the launcher, and now stood by it as he watched the newcomer talk with the rest of the group. Chuckling softly to himself, he sat down on a bench beside it and kept chewing on the toothpick, slowly relaxing as it looked like he wouldn't have to shoot. He could pick up snippets of their talk of what type of guns they had and which ones to use, the various merits of each, and he thought back to the days when he would have been in the thick of it, expressing his admiration of the craftsmanship and debating their worth and weaknesses. Now, though, he was completely content being the man working the launcher.

Rather than wait for a long while for them to keep chatting, though, Tex waited until he saw one of them move in a way that, in a pinch, could be considered a signal. He smirked and said "pull," causing the launcher to fire up a clay pigeon with its trademark THUNK.

 

[Jason West]

Jason quickly drew his pistol and fired two shots at the clay pigeon as it flew from the launcher. He watched as his bullets collided with the pigeon and turned it into bright orange powder. After seeing the pigeon dust disappear, he stepped to the back of the group and began swapping the scopes on his GAP-10.

"Whose next?" Jason asked. He was hoping that the Israeli would be next.

 

[Mikal]

"Nice one, yeah?"

Mikal waited for @Tex "Ace" Holdum to launch the second clay pigeon. When he heard the whirling disc split the air, the Isreali raised his shotgun, then pulled the trigger.

A small spray of buckshot pellets scattered and clipped the pigeon. The object looked like it split before being obliterated into orange gravel. It was much more fun than he had expected.

"Hey, Russian (@Evgeni). Beat that."
