"Didn't expect it to work. Most of the shit out dere don't work, but with enough parts you can fix anyting." Dusty built and scavenged and made due with what the world threw away. He always had, even before. He wasn't the type to spend extra cash on new things when he could find them and modify what he already had. That held more purpose, at least to him, and never-ending projects. Keeping his mind busy was half the battle, especially now. It was easy to settle into a lonely, downward drinking spiral, but occasionally he did pull himself out of it to be productive.<br/><br/>Dusty snorted at the young man's response.<br/><br/>"Violence.. You see dat gun back dere jump up and do anyting violent yet?" He raised a brow. "You do let me know if it does."<br/><br/>"The way I see it, dats a peacekeepa. Nobody wanna have to shoot anyone. Point is, I know how to use it and it's dere if I need it. Ninetynine percent of my shootin been putting supper on da table." Not that the revolver was much of a hunting weapon, but they had a ways to go before the young man probably picked up his first rifle.<br/><br/>"Bow and arrow just as dangerous pointed at someone's head, but don't conceal so easy. Hunting, maybe, if you could even shoot a fish in a barrel," he teased. He didn't know what they taught people when they were 'enrolled' wherever the young man had been. He had no formal education to speak of.<br/><br/>"My lessons were my Daddy beatin' my ass when I wasted ammo by missin' my target," he joked, but they had been hard lessons. Luckily for the stranger, Dusty wasn't as strict of a teacher. The rolled into the familiar junkyard and Dusty parked, holding his hand for the revolver.<br/><br/>"Few rules. Don't point it at nobody you don't want to shoot.  Finga off da trigga until you ready to shoot. Treat it like it's loaded." He knew that it wasn't, but still, he was careful to point the barrel away from the young man, and he opened the cylinder to show him. "Mechanics are simple. Real easy to sort out." He closed the cylinder, then pointed the gun through his windshield, imagining a target ahead of them. "To fire, you can pull the hammer back," Dusty demonstrated, squeezed the trigger, and the gun clicked, "and it makes the trigger pull a little easier. Or, you can fire without the hammer pulled back, with a longer trigger pull." He demonstrated that as well, then handed the gun back over for him to dry fire to feel the difference.
