The Gun Club



Mission – You can’t protect peace if you are unarmed. Get armed, get ready.

The Guns’ Club is more like an umbrella organization with several smaller clicks and teams with in it. Although the firing range is open to anyone with basic gun training, the Club thinks of it as their territory. Outsiders are looked at with some suspicion. The Club’s actual rooms are located on the main floor of the student hall building. Located next to the gun range is an outdoor practice village; there is also a section of the school’s nature park fenced off for use by the Club.

 Students are NOT normally allowed to carry weapons. Safety laws are enforced.

( Permits to carry live weapons are issued on a case by case basis, a student must prove they are qualified, responsible and have need to keep a gun on hand. )

Aside from target shooting with real guns, the club spends a lot of time doing “paint ball games”. These are conducted with realistic guns firing low velocity paint bullets, not the soft round balls of paint. Serious players end up joining Red of Blue teams, who play in the inter-school matches. Casual players join Gold or Green teams.  

During festival time there is an exhibition game between teams; Pink-girls and Black-boys.

Each semester there is a Club competition for best shot, in various categories; hand gun, SMG, rifle and full auto fire. Accuracy is measured against a stationary target and a moving one. Unofficially there is the long shot sniping contest. This is held in the ruins, because it requires a target to be 1.5 km distant and the school has no gun range that long.  
 
  
 Kohta Hirano - Club President, not just a wimpy overweight guy with glasses, he built up a huge theoretical knowledge on guns in middle school, but never used one, until his school was attacked by terrorists. He surprised everyone by fighting back.

Kohta has no super abilities, but he does have a passion for military matters. His skills in the field are high-average and cover a wide range from weapons armoury to large unit tactics. His aim is to become an officer in the JDF.

Clera Higurashi – VP of the club. She does all the paper work and clean up. She sometimes holds weapons like they were babies, but she never fires them. She always tells people “please be careful out there”.

She is a high quality cyborg from Italy, who was retired from special operations (her death was faked) and adopted by a friend of her handler (smuggled to Japan). Her skills and abilities are frightening but she has lost the will to fight. She is at the academy to build some sort of normal life. Of course she tends to hang out with the sort of people she is familiar with, those in the gun club.
