"I understand you could use a weapon? Well, there are weapons out there that are very carefully crafted, taking many, many hours from the finest armorers, and coming from a long tradition spanning back thousands of years. They are the embodiment of the civilizations that made them, and all of their mastery and technique. To be used, the holder the holder must be trained for years, perhaps since foalhood. It requires the utmost skill. And when it is used, it delivers its blow with extreme efficiency and precision, cutting holes in its target with precision.
And sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, you just need something to
fucking die."
He lifts the veil and shows off a weapon. It looks to be a shotgun, with a square back, a long tube on the bottom, a hoofguard with lines of holes on the top, metal between, a sling, and metal bands to accept large bayonet beneath.
"The Auto-8. A bird hunting shotgun, modified by a military armorer to accept 3 more rounds of ammunition, a hoofguard, a longer tube, and fits a big, fuck-off sword beneath. It will accept 12 gauge and slugs only. Anything weaker and it won't cycle."
He hoofs it over to Mala, who examines it
"Th-thank you...?"
Mala goes about trying to replace the bayonet with the short sword Brie gave him.
