Now that Daniel was out of basic and shipped to England, he also acquired some new toys. Upon completing his Demolitions coarse Daniel went to the range to test his new TNT. Besides the TNT he got, he was issued an M1 Garand rifle, a true masterpiece.
Daniel walked up to a captured German truck in the middle of the field and set his explosives, pulled back the wire to a safe distance, and hooked up the detonator. *Click*, and a tremendous explosion rocked the earth as the TNT ignited. He smiled and went to the shooting range to test his new rifle.
He picked up some .30-.06 ammunition from the range master's ammo pile, and a few M1 clips. He sat down heavily at booth number 6 ans began loading up the clips. He was surprised at the weight of the rifle, but he knew that it was sturdy. the world seemed to disappear as he loaded the M1, looked down range at some barrels full of water, and he fired. It didn't take long before the *Ping* told him he was out. he knew that he loved his M1.

Feury walked through the Shoting range, walking behind the troops, and watching the new recruits fire their Guns. Some have Enfields, some ahd M1 Grands, and some had other guns, suhc as the springfield. He stepped down the concrete hallway, passing booths 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. He watched the person at Booth 6 fire his gun, obviously a new Recruit, and smiled. He took off his helmat, and continued to watch the Technician fire his gun.
Watching the soldier fire his weapon brought him back to the days of war in North Africa, and even before the war started, when he was in the Army. "You've got a great aim, kid." He said to Daniel.

Daniel looked up to see a 1st Sergeant, and heard him commend his aim. He replied "well I guess this doesn't mean nothin when you're under fire and trying to place explosives in a barrier or something." Then Daniel wanted to see a Veteran handle a rifle. So he said "say, I got two more clips, why don't you give it a few shots, just to show the new guy like me how to really shoot?"

Furey looked down at him, and smiled, saying "Sure, ill give it a try. It's been awhile since i've fired one of these beauties, im used to this Thompson here.". He took the thompson off of his back, and set it down next to Daniel, saying "Give it a try in a few minutes, you'll love it.". He took the M1 Garand that Daniel Handed him, and reloaded it, he instantly remembered the feeling of this rifle. He had been using it for atleast three years before he got his Thompson, and loved that rifle. He took aim with it towards another barrel filled with water, a little target design crudley painted on it. He aimed carefully, looking through the Iron crosshairs, and quickly began to fire. He looked down at his gun as he head the ping, and let the clip fall to the ground before looking up at the barrel. He watched a steady stream of water flow from around the bullseye area, and about three more around the outer edges. He'd forgotten how to fire that gun as well as he used to fire it. He picked up his Thompson, and handed it to Daniel, saying "Try it out over there.". He pointed the kid over to a training bunker used for automatic firing weapons testing, such as the BAR and the Thompson.
