Easy on the reins (Charles Smith X Reader)

Chapter 7:

Charles and Cassidy walked towards the gun locker, Cassidy looking around at the weapons getting used to the size of the guns and the amount of rounds they could fire per minute.
She knew she was gonna need something with quick rounds.

She can see other gang members carrying more weapons, presumably getting them ready for the mission.

Charles looks over at Cassidy, smiling.
"Excited?" Charles asked.

"Very much so." Cassidy replied with a smile.

He continues to walk, speaking with Cassidy as she works her way around the gun locker.

"We're going to be robbing a train in two days, Cass. I've been looking forward to this for a while. You and I both know our roles in this, and we both know how important this mission is to the gang and to Dutch. It'll be a success, I can promise you that. We just need to train and get ready." Charles said.
He seems very genuine as he speaks. There's no faking this excitement and commitment to the mission.

"Then let's get to work." Cassidy said.

I'm happy you're here, Cass. I'm sure that you're going to be a fantastic asset to the gang. I know Dutch and the others agree with me on that." Charles added as Cassidy smiled.

"Do you have any idea which guns you'd like to try out? Any in particular?" Charles asked.

"Which types of guns do you usually use in combat?" Cassidy asked.

"I use a Lancaster Repeater mostly. It's medium to long range and is great for hunting or close-range encounters."
He pauses, thinking again about which guns to give you for practice.
"I think you'd also do well with a Schofield revolver. That's the main revolver I and the others use. You'll want to get used to it, it's powerful, compact, and easy to handle." Charles replied.

"Sure, that sounds like something good to use for a train robbery." Cassidy said as Charles nodded with a grin.

"Sounds good." Charles said.
He takes a Lancaster Repeater rifle, a Schofield revolver, and a few boxes of ammo. He offers them to Cassidy.

"This is what I use personally, so I think it will be perfect for you to use as well. You'll get used to it very quickly. Let's find a place to practice."
He looks around, trying to find an appropriate place to train.
"How about that area over there? It looks like it's far enough away from the camp, and close enough to some trees that we can practice shooting." Charles added.

"That looks like a great spot." Cassidy replied back a soft smile on her face.

"Then let's get to it." Charles said handing the guns and ammo to Cassidy and the two of you start to ask towards the area.

"The key to using the repeater is to make sure to not waste any ammo. It's powerful, yes, but it cannot be used to spray and pray. It's important to time your shots to ensure that you're getting the most use out of every bullet. You don't want to go in with half the amount of bullets you need to stop the train, do you?" Charles asked.

"No, you don't." Cassidy replied.

"Good. So, I'm going to show you how to work with this repeater, ok?" Charles asked as Cassidy nodded.

You both arrive at the area, and Charles sets up some cans, branches, bottles, and other pieces of wood nearby.

"I want you to try hitting these targets as much as possible with this rifle." Charles requested.
He hands Cassidy the repeater, which is loaded with 12 bullets.

she accepts the repeater making sure the bullets were loaded properly then firing 5 fast rounds knocking down 3 bottle cans that shattered the moment the bullet struck the cans.
