Shotgun was a beautiful gun. Less refined than the rifle and much less compact than that of the Sub-Machine gun but there's something about pumping the scattergun to discharge the spent shell to get the heart pumping. With a single cock and shell in place in a one smooth and swift motion. You never know the feeling until you fire it.
That was precisely what Irvine did, back when he was a teenager. Shotgun was a great teacher on how to respect the recoil. Just almost a decade later, he still felt a little goosebumps surging across his body as the butt slammed against his broad shoulder. the guttural sound sings throughout the long and winding firing range inside the Shin-Ra's Building, overwhelming the peashooters.
Irvine was still in his Private uniform, the plain navy blue attire and grey neck scarf with no loose ends hanging. Sweat ruffled his short black hair from wearing the helmet for the entire day. He wasted no time to pull the pump gauge of his gun and draw in fresh munition to fire.
Autumn liked peashooters. She learned a long time ago that a handgun would get the job done just as easily as anything else and her pistol was easy to conceal.
The Turk drew her gun, lined up the red dot on the scope, and pulled the trigger in what seemed like one swift motion. She fired several more times. Autumn removed the magazine and placed her gun on the shelf in front of her pointed down range.
She furrowed her brow as she clenched and unclenched her fist a couple of times. That last shot… the accuracy wasn’t quite what she’d hoped for.
The unmistakable boom click click of a shotgun rang out through the range and Autumn’s attention was immediately drawn to the trooper in the lane on her left. It wasn’t standard issue and therefore an uncommon weapon in Shin-ra HQ.
The slender copper-haired woman smiled at the trooper as she watched him work the pump. “Where’d you learn to do that?” She asked, raising her voice to accommodate the earmuffs.
He knew he had three shells remaining, so he finished them off with a swift successive shot, one after the other it flowed naturally. The recoil failed to break his stance, keeping the scattergun levelled as much as possible. Ever since he joined Shin-Ra, he made a promise. The promise was not much of a secret, and he would gladly reveal, as he would as the copper-head woman approached towards him and commented on his drilling. He removed his ear protection and gently placed the empty shotgun on the platform in front of him.
"Every day whenever I never fired the shotgun," He spoke with a casual and polite, far cry from his undignified typical origin of his, something that he was prided on, "I come here to shoot. So..."
His words were not entirely true, he had been planning on training how to use shotgun long before he joined, often trained with long stick, but to compare it with a real shotgun was night and day.

“That’s impressive.” Autumn grinned over at the trooper as he set the shotgun down. He had more motivation than a lot of the grunts she’d worked with. “My dad taught me how to shoot a rifle. I begged to go out on hunting trips with him and I guess he thought it’d be good for self-defense.”
A slight chuckle rattled her chest at the memories this train of thought had stirred up. The famed recoil on a shotgun was more than Autumn cared to deal with on a regular basis but she was curious how it would feel to fire one and honestly she was a little surprised to realize that she had never had the experience before.
“Would you mind if I try it out?” She asked as she pointed towards his weapon of choice. “I’ll let you try mine. Not the pistol. I’ve got something better in the case.”
