“Fancy gun Knuckles,”
“Yeah, just came down from Section 11.”
“Tested it yet? How does it fire?”
“It’s the strangest thing. Almost silent. No muzzle flash. No ammo, no cartridges.”
“No ammo?”
“It charges between shots.”
“What’s it do?”
“Ever seen something #atomize before?”
“Don’t think so.”
Knuckles looked at the wide, squat gun in his hands a moment & then handed it over. “Let’s just say: stand up wind, & keep your mouth closed.”
