New Hope Militia Base
Jonathan, John, and Flynn all open fire at the same time, each destroying 3 bottles with ease, while
Frank attempts to get the hang of the rifle. He fires one shot, destroying a bottle, but the recoil knocks him off balance, and he misses the other two.
Meanwhile,
Nando opens fire on the target nearest to him, completely destroying it, before throwing his knife at the pile of scraps that remains.
Connroy, meanwhile, centers two of the three shots in the target, before his shaky hands cause the third shot to miss off to the right.
The sergeant looks at the recruits, as they all turn and face him, and stares at Frank for a moment, before speaking.
"Right, at least some of you can shoot straight. You'll have an hour to wrap up whatever loose ends you have here, before we head out."
