Fear and bullets. Nope, too small. Blessed be the pessimist for he carries extra ammo. Blow your mind - smoke gunpowder. Buckshot leaves a mean and oozy corpse.
Bullets are cheap, but a rope is reusable.
Bullets speak louder than reason. Check again to make sure it's loaded. Every round downrange, a planned and wanted round downrange. Firepower is a frame of mind, and a full magazine. Follow thy loading instructions lest thy breach rise up and smite thee.
