<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333;background:white">Weapons certification training was one of the tasks that the Chief of Security had responsibility for. Keung Lee was going to delivered that training to one of
the cadets </span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> - Jane Walker. He decided it was going to be a one to one as he sensed it would to building up confidence in the individual and he wanted to avoid any sense of competitive pressure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333;background:white"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333;background:white">Jane entered the firing range eager to test the two non energy hand pistols that the Chief had selected for her. The first was the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Walther
P99</span></em>. She had only see this weapon used before and that was in a classical film used by a fictional character called James . Tig liked the feeling of this gun in her hand, it carried 9x19mm shells and what she had read about the weapon it appeared
the pronunciation of the weapon had under gone several nuances. ('Walther' is properly pronounced 'Valter' but, due to years of Anglicisation, notably in the James Bond films, 'Wolta' and 'Woltha' are regularly heard.)</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">"Hello Chief " said Jane who was carrying a Walter P99 in one hand and the other a Micro- Uzi,</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">“Greetings. Cadet. Perhap you'd like to place your weapons on the table there.” He said pointing.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">Jane placed the two weapons on the table. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>
<span style="background:white">“You realise that using such weapons is completely different from firing phasers.”</span><br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">Jane<span style="background:white"> was somewhat surprised, but knew the Chief did know more about these weapons than she did.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">“Right. Let’s begin, shall we” said Keung. He picked up a box which contains a magazine for the Walter P99. “The Walther P99 is a powerful and formidable weapon, but it’s quite light and compact enough to be adequately concealed.
It carries 16 rounds of 9mm ammunition. Quite popular in its day and lethal, if used properly.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333;background:white">Keung picked up a magazine. “This is a container which contains the projectiles – bullets.” He then showed Tig how the magazine was inserted into the gun. “</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">She was intently as he inserted the magazine. She was anxious to try the new non-energy weapon.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">Keung turned to a pair of ear protectors. Put one on himself and handed the other one to a puzzled Jane.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">She looked at the ear protectors and wondered why they were needed, considering during a confrontation or battle you wouldn't be wearing them.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">“Put them on. In a confined space like this, it can get noisy” smiled Lee.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">She did as instructed and was ready.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">“Now I want you to stand facing the target…stand straight. Hold the gun in both hands..and aim straight at the target..but don’t shoot!” instructed Keung pointing to a circular target in the shooting range.”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">The cadet faced the target and planted her feet comfortably, she liked the way the weapon felt in her hands.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">“Take your time..there’s the trigger..with your finger, pull back the trigger.” Said Lee, knowing what to come next. It was a shock for first time users of such weapons especially when they’re only familiar with energy weapons.
First comes the sound of the explosive shot followed by the recoil.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">Jane slowly squeezed the trigger and the noise and recoil both jarred her body and surprised her by its repercussion of the sound.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">“Good. Try again.” Said Keung.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">Jane fired a few rounds and began to feel more comfortable with the P99 and felt inner pride that she was hitting the target with more accuracy.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">After five minutes of firing, Keung saw that Jane had hit the target. “Well, how do you feel! Ready to try the Micro-Uzi?</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">"That was great! I think I settled in quite nicely." Jane said, feeling much better about the whole non-energy weapon debate.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">“The Micro-Uzi was a popular weapon mostly used as a Personal Defense Weapon for the military and for close protection work! You also add a telescopic Relfex Suppressor. It’s a powerful weapon and a lot different from the Walter
P99! It fires multiple shots as opposed to a single shot at a time.”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">"I'm ready." She knew the kick from this weapon was greater than the P99, but felt she could handle the Micro-Uzi.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">“Now hold it at wrist level with your right hand holding the trigger and the other hand holding the barrel…good!” observed Keung.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">Jane moved her left hand around the barrel until she had a comfortable grip. "All right."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">“Fire!” He ordered.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">Jane pressed down on the trigger and multiple shots fired in succession. ~Wow! Now this is a weapon!~ She thought.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">For ten minutes, Tig fired off the Micro-Uzi before Keung felt this cadet was ready for more.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
