Log;

It was hard to miss the big blue house, set on the beach just behind the dunes. Jack hadn't exactly been subtle with that blue paint after all.

Since he was expecting Mickey, Jack had the doors open as he puttered about on the main level, carrying a mug of coffee from the kitchen to the sofa where he'd settled to read for a bit. At least until Mickey got there.

Oh great, they got to the gun part.

"So what kind of gun will I get?" Mickey asked eagerly.

Jack arched an eyebrow and moved to lean against one of the desks.

"Pretty interested in carrying. Why?"

[lovingmybamfgun.livejournal.com]

"Isn't that the best part of fighting the bad guys?" Mickey answered ecstatically. "Using gadgets not many other people use."

Mickey's gaze averted, it looked as if he were daydreaming.

"I'd prefer a blaster. A big one."

"The best part of fighting the bad guys is winning the day with as little life lost as possible," Jack said with a grin.

Yes, he'd taken his lessons and his lumps from the Doctor and was trying to do better.

"No blasters, I'm afraid. At the moment just projectile weapons with supped up ammo. Though I've heard about there being connections down in the Underworld. I might have to follow up on that. Might even be your first job, Mr. Smith."

"Hmm. Bullets are tacky compared to laser, though." Mickey tilted his head in thought. "But temporarily I could work with projectile weapons too."

He had to chuckle when he realised he was already being demanding on his first day at work.

"I've actually found they can be useful, especially against some energy fields that would otherwise turn back a laser," Jack said, waving Mickey over towards the Armory.

"I carry a Webley revolver, picked it up during the war. The team as a rule carry anything from a Glock to a Sig, semi-auto with the special ammo. Ianto also has a pair of taser gloves he likes to employ from time to time, when deadly force isn't necessary."

There was another set of codes to get into the Armory which still looked a bit sparse compared to the actual Hub back home but Jack was getting a decent collection, especially in the shotgun department.

"Really? I've actually only fought creatures of metal before. In that case bullets are rather useless."

Mickey was impressed by the many and various kinds of guns and got reminded of how little he actually knew of the guns he had never used. But he wasn't going to show that and just nodded as if he understood every word Jack said.

Picking up Ianto's back up Sig, Jack grabbed an extra clip and nodded towards a door in the back.

"Come on back to the firing range, let's see how your aim is doing."

Leading the way, Jack took Mickey to the small range. It was long and deep with target boards set up and tables with headphones and safety goggles.

Mickey was secretly looking forward to next month, when he would know his way through the Mini-Hub, wouldn't have to follow Jack around everywhere, wouldn't have to introduce himself to anyone and most importantly, wouldn't have to be tested anymore.

He took a pair of goggles and headphones and put them on.

"I've had five years experience, you know," he said while he impatiently held out his hand for Jack to give him the gun. "I know that's nothing compared to how long you've lived, but it's something."

"First rule of working with guns, it's never a pissing contest," Jack said as he slipped on his own goggles and headphones.

Sliding the clip into the weapon, he chambered one round and then held it out to Mickey with that jaunty smile of his.

"Second rule. I outshoot everybody."

Jack winked and waited to see how Mickey did with his aim.

[lovingmybamfgun.livejournal.com]

"Yeah right, we'll see 'bout that."

Mickey did a quick check to see for himself if the gun was correctly prepared. He aimed at the target, his grip steady and then fired the gun six times. All the bullets had all hit the target close to the middle of it.
