"Hehehe! Don't worry, I was doin' that my first time around too! Come on, let's get'ya there."
Patting Orion on the shoulder and giving him the rifle back, Ironhide led the way to the shooting range. There weren't many people there, but they probably wouldn't mind anyway.
+
"This whole time there was a shooting range and ive been sneaking out to a scrap yard to do target practice..."
Well now he felt stupid for not looking around or even asking about these type of things
"...could you lead the way"
Maybe it's a good club too. Anyway!
"Have you been to the shooting range? Would be a nice start. I won't let you shoot with one of mine, but let's get started, eh?"
"Oh I CAN help with that, or do my best at least... Wait, what's..."
Ironhide held the weapon carefully, observing every detail of it.
"Now this is one beauti– Wheeljack? Of course he did! And he doesn't need no excuse to make it, just... does."
For a moment he thought: +
"Well I could use some help in firing a gun first, so far ive hit scrap metal but never the exact spot im trying to aim for"
Orion pulls out a lazer riffle, its the first of its kind
"A bot by the name wheeljack made it, but never explained why he did?"
"Alpha Trion? If it's the same bot I met, damn I'm sorry for ya', kid..."
He had some pretty bad experiences with the bearded bot, but maybe Orion was luckier.
"Mimicking? I see... Okay, what do ya' wanna learn first? Let's see what I can teach'ya."
"Well the truth is I wasn't at a police academy, I used to work in cargo loading energon then became a data clerk working under alpha trion"
He blinked
"I...did mimic some moves I used to in the archives before they were destroyed.."
"Ya' don't know?! What've they been teachin' ya on the police academy, kid?"
He turned to Orion, almost in disbelief. Ironhide brought the digits to his optics and took a deep breath.
"Well, tell me what ya' know! Won't wanna waste time."
"Im not much of a fighter but id like to ask if you could train me"
He knows a few basics but doesn't really know to use the weapons or to actually fight properly
Ironhide is lining up the ammunition for his weapons. They are placed in order of caliber and size.
It's almost strange to see a bot like him being so careful!
