Alien: Human David, what is this room we are in and what is all of this equipment?

Human: Ah ok, so since you seem to not know much about firearms, I figured I'd give you a quick rundown on our weapons of war and defense. Plus it's really fun!

Alien: Are you sure, human? These 'firearms' are quite dangerous are they not?

Human: Yes, just be careful and I'll explain some of it, although not all of it. *picks up a pistol* Ok, so this is a smaller weapon we call a pistol, it is often referred to as a sidearm, it isn't as powerful as bigger guns but it is extremely portable.

Alien: How does this work?

Human: Ok, see this? *Picks up bullet* This is a bullet, it has combustible power inside and contains the explosion behind the projectile, which we send out the barrel at the desired target. Often this type of gun is for self-defense, but it can also be used to hurt animals for sustenance.

Alien: Ah yes, I remember humans are omnivores... wait wait, contained explosions to fire your projectiles?!

Human: Yeees...

Alien: Isn't that, you know... DANGEROUS?!

Human: It can be if the equipment is bad, but the metal should contain it. I mean it is close to your hands and face so gotta be safe right?

Alien: You are a clever species human, I assume this equipment was designed initially with hunting in mind?

Human: Well...

Alien: ...

Human: We have a bit of history regarding warfare remember?

Alien: ...Bar-

Humans: Barbarians yadda yadda yadda, I bet you guys have skeletons in your own closets. You should be very glad we like you.

Alien: ...A fair point, and us with you.

Human: But yeah, we made these to destroy other things.

Alien: I'm guessing they are all around these sizes?

Human: Hahahhaha, no no, let me tell you about the lowa class battleship, this is only 9 millimeters, and some rounds get up to this, *Pulls out 50 cal.* but those ships fired 16 inch shells.  We have designed bigger, and we are creative with our designs.

Alien: *Internally sweating* T-that is quite powerful human...

Human: Now imagine if we could get our hands on something better, like plasma...

Alien: *Internally screeching* *Whispers into his communicator* Remind me to never introduce them to the "Galactic Fleet."
