Realgar Muscari's lecture, "Introduction to the Weaponry Course," class III, was attended by Toutar, Moriner, Xenomia, Bert, Eli, Shogo, Anelotta, and Ifeon – quite a few students.
The students had already met the instructor before, so he skipped the introductions and got straight to the point.
“In this course, you will learn how to properly handle weapons suitable for use by infantry during military operations, excluding close combat weapons. These include: pistols, rifles, submachine guns, anti-tank rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, grenades, and mines. Today, we will start with the simplest and most common weapon, as it is the most convenient for performing basic infantry tasks.”
M&O-830
Accuracy: 60%-35%
Range: 7-12
Damage: 30
Number of shots: 5
Suppressive fire: 2
Weight: 0.5
Size: 1x2
“This is the M&O-830, a pistol that is part of the standard equipment of a Reimy army soldier. It is easy to handle, lightweight, and comfortable to carry. However, as a primary weapon, this pistol, like its entire class, is not suitable. Real combat conditions dictate that other weapons perform similar tasks better, so they are either carried as secondary weapons or used by medics, engineers, and other specialists whose primary role is not to fight the enemy but to provide support to the main forces.”
Z23
Accuracy: 65%-45%
Range: 8-16
Damage: 30
Number of shots: 5
Suppressive fire: 2
Weight: 2.5
Size: 1x5
“As you can see,” the instructor continued, explaining the characteristics of the second weapon, “this rifle has similar functions but outperforms the M&O-830 in all parameters. It can be used for both offensive and defensive purposes.”
Macerate
Accuracy: 40%-15%
Range: 5-10
Damage: 45-25
Number of shots: 20
Suppressive fire: 5
Weight: 4.0
Size: 2x4
“This is a submachine gun. You run into the enemy's trench or camp and just ‘rat-tat-tat’ everyone down…” Holding the weapon, Realgar made corresponding hand movements as if he were shooting at an enemy. “Seriously, this is an excellent weapon for close-quarters combat. Few can survive a full magazine from the Macerate. However, in situations where the battle takes place in open areas, the opposite happens – soldiers become vulnerable to enemy suppressive fire, as they will have to expose themselves to take a position for firing.”
“If you have any questions about the theoretical material, now is the time to ask them, because we are going to the shooting range.
