Contract killing
Contract killing, sometimes known as murder-for-hire, is a form of murder or assassination in which one party employs another party to extrajudicially kill a targeted person or people via an illegal agreement that involves some form of compensation, monetary or otherwise. An act of contract killing is also known colloquially as a hit, and the person performing the killing (i.e. the contract killer or "contractor") is known as the hitman or (as borrowed from Spanish) sicario.

Organized crime gangs and syndicates sometimes employ dedicated members or associates as contractors (each known as an enforcer) to perform targeted assassination, lynching, maiming or other acts of violence, typically for purposes such as turf war, feud, extortion or as a form of political violence to terrorize dissidents or to demoralize other groups.
Ruger No. 1
The Ruger No. 1 is a single-shot rifle introduced and manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. since 1967. it is designed with a Farquharson-style hammerless falling-block action, where an underlever lowers the breechblock to expose the chamber and allow cartridge loading, and closing the lever sets the rifle in battery and also cocks the hammer. A shotgun-style tang safety secures the hammer and sear.

The Ruger No. 1 is available with an Alexander Henry, Beavertail or Mannlicher-style forearm. The rifles came in several sub-models: 1A, 1AB, 1B, 1H, 1S, 1V and RSI(K designation refers to Stainless with laminated stocks). The No. 1 also comes with barrel lengths ranging from 20 to 28 in (510 to 710 mm) and in a multitude of calibers. Lenard Brownell, commenting on his work at Ruger, said of the No. 1: "There was never any question about the strength of the action. I remember, in testing it, how much trouble I had trying to tear it up.  In fact, I never did manage to blow one apart."

Oral administration
Oral administration is a route of administration whereby a substance is taken through the mouth, swallowed, and then processed via the digestive system. This is a common route of administration for many medications.

Oral administration can be easier and less painful than other routes of administration, such as injection.  However, the onset of action is relatively low, and the effectiveness is reduced if it is not absorbed properly in the digestive system, or if it is broken down by digestive enzymes before it can reach the bloodstream. Some medications may cause gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea or vomiting, when taken orally. Oral administration can also only be applied to conscious patients, and patients able to swallow.
