I learned how to use one in the world I sojourned in for a while before I came here. There was a man named Tino, who called himself Finland at times -- which is apparently the name of a country of Earth. He was a sharpshooter who needed a gun. So, I had him make some drawings for me, and then I fired up the forge and crafted him a rifle and a revolver. And then I made a few for myself. I already had a stock of gunpowder from another project, so we made ammunition as well. And then we practiced. I started to hunt with the firearms as well as with my bow. So yes, I have experience.
