[color=39b54a]"Well, don't really have a ton of room do we?... I mean, honestly, how big is this room end ta end- 30 feet? If that? Won't be much of a marksman's range that's fer sure. Stryker said there was steel plating down in cargo we could bolt to the walls, but dependin' on the ammo bein' used, no tellin' what could happen, could bounce right back off it, or blow right through it, and the wall behind it. No, think our bes' bet is to get ahold of a roll of insu-gel next time we hit port, ya ever seen that? Low-cost insulatin' material they use in prefab homes on th' colonies. Think they use it as a base fer the rubber rooms in asylums too. We put the steel plating up as backing, stick a couple layers of the insu-gel on, fasten it into place and then it's off to the races. Could even grab a stack of those paper targets, stick 'em right to the gel."[/color]

Benny nodded in agreement at the idea. Imagining how that would work as the physics of it pieced itself together in his head. [color=darkgoldenrod]"Aye, soun's good. Once saw that gel stop shrapnel launched by a frag when it was thick enough. No bullets goin' ta' be flyin' wild in here with that catchin' it. Migh' be a bit 'ard ta' track where energy weapon shots landed though,"[/color] He replied, wondering if he could sneak a few extra loads of the gel to perhaps convert the old containment chamber in the lab into an explosives-testing chamber by adding a layer of the insu-gel on the inside of it to keep the hardened glass from breaking. He'd made do with much simpler set-ups in the past anyway.

Personally, he had never been much of a marksman himself. But there were just some problems a computer virus or a good explosive couldn't solve and so he actually got fairly good at handling his BR7, at least in mid-range combat. He figured that it would be useful to brush up on those skills, and perhaps even improve on them for times when the situation gets rough. [color=darkgoldenrod]"Guess we betta' start settin' up the steel plates so we know where ta' stick the goo, aye?"[/color]
