GunRiot, Page 57
The following is an excerpt from the book, City of Ruin, by Naria Heft. [Originally published five years ago.]
Most older firearms—ones that were in Kurtow prior to the earthquake—are likely at the point of failing, due to lack of maintenance and overall wear. Functional firearms would be scarce and valuable commodities in the ruins, while a general shortage of ammunition is another consideration. More importantly, only non-BID chipped firearms would still be usable; all smart gun technology within Kurtow had been remote-locked days after the initial earthquake in what city officials claimed was “an effort to preserve order.”

Jeez. I don’t even know who’s the bigger dummy here, Kyrie, for not reloading her gun earlier, or one of Gnash’s goons for using a messed up, defective weapon? 🤔
To be fair, that might be the only weapon available to him. Broken something is better than nothing. Just don’t count on it working all the time.
She still has her sword she can go Terminator on them with it.
Re-reading this yet again because I really enjoy this comic (pictures and writing 🙂).
I was curious how she miscounted by THREE bullets. Granted she’s very much a seat-of-her-pants person, but counting bullets has to be an automatic skill growing up here (as noted by a commenter in the next page).
The only thing I could think of was she found the clip with bullets in them and assumed it was a FULL clip instead of 3 bullets short. Still pretty dumb, but I could see that happening with our gal. 🙂
