Ammo Testing

By Vonnacht
Gunshots echoed across the plains. creating a staccato beat as round after round slammed home. The wooden target splintered and cracked as round after round slammed into it. His magazine empty, Von strode forward and inspected his aim.
The slugs had buried themselves quite deeply into the ruin behind the target. The khorium jacketed rounds were Consortium engineered, and Von hoped to bring them back to Azeroth, but first a field test was in order...
Von laid his rifle against the wall and unslung the massive axe from across his shoulders. The heavy blade swung round and round as the Elf practiced. Hacking, parrying, chopping, Von worked.

Von acted faster, managing to throw his dagger before the trigger was pulled. The blade buried itself in the murkblood's throat. Von burst out of the water as the surviving broken picked up the rifle. Von knocked the barrel upwards, the Murkblood's shot travelling harmlessly upwards. Von wrenched the gun away as he kicked out at the survivors ribs.
