Plunkett's eyes widened as he looked at the rifle and then at Arthur before skeptically picking up the gun.
He first checked if the gun was loaded with powder, then raised the barrel and peered into the muzzle, "Rifled gun? Just like the Baker Rifle I used before. The advantage of this kind of gun is its high accuracy, but the downside is that it takes longer to load than a standard smoothbore gun, and it's also trouble to clean. If it's not cleaned regularly, the grooves in the barrel can get clogged with dirt, and the bullets won't sit right, which can easily lead to a burst barrel."
Arthur, with his wine glass in hand, leaned against the corner of his desk and asked, "Then if it were up to you, would you prefer a rifled gun or a smoothbore gun?"
