"Have you never seen one?"

Caitlyn is somewhat surprised by that, and she's fairly quick to step back from the edge. She pulls open her jacket and shows him a small pistol she'd gotten from the Meridian armories.

"They're like a bow and arrow, but different. Similar function, but a rifle is a metal tube that fires a small metal ball at high speeds. More efficient and easier to use than a bow, but not quite as easy to aim. This is actually a smaller version called a pistol, while a true rifle is longer, with a better range."
