"That's enough for today." I told her after watching her fire the last bullet. Elsa let out a breath and rolled her shoulders from constantly tensing her body. She would definitely be sore after today.

I watched her as she made sure there were no more bullets in the gun and the magazine before putting the safety back. I was impressed by her. She was a fast learner and fast with her hands. I had no doubt she would be great in no time as long as we kept practicing.

"You did well." I smiled, taking the gun from her as we made our way back to the table.

"You think so?" She asked excitedly and I gave her a nod.

"Better than Arianna when I was teaching her." She let out a small gasp and smiled big.

"I will show you." I picked up the rifle, loaded a few bullets, and went back to the shooting range.

This one was much heavier and louder than she was used to. positioned the rifle, supporting it against my shoulder, aiming before firing. My shoulder got pushed back from the force, and if she were to try it, it would have her flying on her ass since her stance still needs to be improved.

I shot a few times, showing her it was not a piece of toy she could play with. I went back, seeing her mouth slightly open as she gave an impressive nod.

"I see what you mean. That's a powerful one." She said in awe.

"It is. This is a Springfield M14. It's a reliable, accurate, and powerful rifle but having a length of forty-four inches and a weight of close to eleven pounds loaded, gives it a great disadvantage in combat." I informed, placing the rifle back on the table as I heard her let out a whistle.
