The serial killer had, understandably, no experience with women like Elisabeth, so when the gun jammed (something he'd been assured was impossible), and the mighty mage woman had let her power erupt full-force, he panicked, badly, trying to move the gun slide so that he could clear it and try and take shots at her before making his escape.  Unfortunately, that oh-so-expensive Smartlink he had purchased backfired - the savvy Technomancer backing up Elisabeth had used it to hijack the killer's weapon.  As a result, the lightning bolt hit the killer full force.<br/><br/>A note to you, the reader.  This particular handgun - the Colt Government 2066 - used an electric firing system, along with caseless ammunition.  To fire a shot, the trigger was pulled, and a small electrical spark contacted the caseless propellant, causing the bullet to fly.  When Musubi had jammed the caseless round into the breach of the weapon, she had basically turned it from a gun into a very expensive<em>grenade</em>...<br/><br/>...that was detonated by<em>electricity</em>.<br/><br/>Understandably, when Elisabeth's lightning bolt hit, it ignited the propellant, and caused the gun to<em>explode</em>in the man's hand, hurting him badly.  And though he would have managed to survive that, he would not -<em>could not</em>- survive the following electricity.  He screamed as his body smoked, and then crumpled down onto the alley, dead.<br/><br/>No sooner had that happened than Musubi emerged from her hiding place, in her hands a familiar weapon.  The Defiance T-250,<em>the</em>most common shotgun on the street.  It was common, it was nasty, it had a five round magazine...<br/><br/>...and Musubi unloaded every shot into the dead man's head.  "Identify<em>that</em>, you arrogant sons-of-bitches."
