A New Life for the Broken Bird

[Doc Holliday]

"You see?" Doc asked with a smile, "it is not that difficult. It is an easy rifle to learn, to fire and handle once you get familiar with it."
He then took his own from the saddle holster on George and began rapidly firing it into the tree. Ten shots in about 10 seconds later, all were in a tight group in the tree.
"Just remember, you have a straight pipe of thirty shots. It is nice to have but it takes a few minutes to load. Still, it is enough shots to last you awhile."
He then re-holstered the rifle.

He then took an old can that he had picked up and tossed it a ways from them. He opened his coat, drew his pistols and began rapidly firing into the can. He never truly aimed. Of the twelve shots he fired at the can, ten hit. Again, he smiled and started reloading his old revolvers.
"In close quarters, more firepower and easier to wield but useless at long range," he stated.
He walked over to Sonja. "It has more kick than a rifle, especially if your wrists are not that strong."
He placed the handle in her hand after he reloaded it. "Now, pull back the hammer. Now same thing, let it surprise you when you fire. Nice and easy on the squeeze."
