[Dan makes an appreciative whistling noise for both of them. They're fast learners.]

Mostly cover. I usually don't carry armor, anything bulletproof is going to be too heavy for my preference. And you got to rely on a bit that most opponents that you're firing at - unless they got some kind of armor or enchantment - you hit them, even in a non-vital area, the bullet's going to hurt so much that they fall back and can't retaliate for a second. So one perfect shot ain't everything. You can usually expect to have a chance to take a second, and hopefully not even need it.

[It's different with animals. When you're hunting deer, you have to expect that anything short of a crippling shot is going to spur your prey to run away from you. But Dan's fundamentally opposed to shooting at any sentient thing that isn't charging him or someone else.]

I'm impressed. When I first started shooting, it took me a few months to hit the target. [He was three, but, you know, he leaves that out.

He raises an eyebrow at Guts.] There a reason you're aiming for headshots?
