Three shots to reveal the truth

"So?" Mia asked after taking a moment to inspect the weapon in her hands. "How do I use it?"

It was truly a peculiar sight. A girl dressed in robes straight out of some kind of wuxia novel, with her aura so strong that it was nearly visible, was holding an ordinary Kalashnikov in her hands with a passionate expression on her face. 

'It feels as if I'm in a novel whose author lost the idea of what he is writing about,' I thought, shaking my head over how insane this situation felt. 

Yet, as insane as it felt, it was the reality before my eyes. 

"How about you try to figure it out yourself?" I suggested, hoping for Mia to take the concepts that she learned when using the handgun and apply them to this new gun. 

After all, all the guns that we have used so far relied on exactly the same principle. The only difference between a handgun and a machine gun relied on the fact that the latter was actually designed to shoot continuously!
