Sounds good, whats chief packing? still got the family heirloom 1907 as an in port gun and a FAL as a kill bad guys gun?

Yep. I'll describe what they have in their armory later.

Fixed. If I can't rack the slide on the CZ, a guy like van Zyl won't be able to either

I want to make my character's feel like they're real people. So I've decided to add scenes of them socializing after they've completed the first job and are waiting for another job to come along. There is one scene I've been planning on writing where the gang goes to bar which Greg describes as "part dive, part karaoke, but all in all it's a place to get fokken' sloshed.". I don't want this to be an all-out action story. I want this to look like a living people do.

A. Wear gloves, tac gloves make it easy, you probably were just using bare hands.

B. With a mec gar 19 round flush fit, you are carrying 20 rounds. You wont exactly be racking the slide much.
