Within the week, Yuki had rallied the citizens of Elysium behind Dean's cause. She began to speak as the Oracle, and her decrees were followed to the letter. The day that followed saw all of the available population gathered for two hours of basic firearms training.
Since Dean was occupied training the Peltasts, Daniel took charge, and the Hoplites assisted him.
They handed out rifles, without ammunition, first walking the boys and men of Elysium through basic functions.
How to zero their sights, how to insert a magazine and load a cartridge, how to operate the safety, and eject the spent magazine.
Most of what was taught was basic firearms manipulation and safety. Drilling it through their brains with dry fire exercises rather than live ammunition.
Rifles, pistols, and shotguns were the general weapons given out. And most of them had been scavenged from the corpses of Lorenzo's war band.
