Certainly, they were not made with Burmecians in mind. [ Fratley smiles wryly, propping the spear back against the wall. ]

Have you treated many people injured by firearms, Doctor Daedalus? I have been frequently cautioned about how dangerous they are, but I have little idea of the kind of damage they can cause. [ Shooting at paper targets doesn't really give him a clear idea of that. ]

[It seems a crude way to engage in hostilities, but...he's not about to say so, just...gives the spear a long curious look before looking back at Fratley with a somber not.]

Yes, I have. A bullet wound is a serious injury, with a very high rate of fatality if it hits anywhere near the chest cavity, head. Blood loss from a gun wound is always serious.

Officers of the Law typically carry non-lethal caliber shells- that is, not meant to penetrate.

[ What Edgeworth said was true enough, then. Fratley's ears splay back, delicately, and his tail stills briefly before it moves again, curling around his leg. There's a small leather band of sorts tied around it, the leather stiff from exposure to the elements and months-- perhaps years-- of wear. ]

So I have been told. Though the use of firearms remains a method of last resort, regardless.

Yes... [A wary nod. Such a last resort that with the Proxy, he'd only armed Re-l with a grand total two FP shells.

Just in case she missed. Re-l Mayer generally didn't.]

I'm sure they've covered that, in your training?

[ He nods. ]

I am not a very good shot, I'm afraid.

For patrolling in the Darkness, we are advised to bring lethal ammunition. [ He frowns. ]

Most things that lurk the darkness- you'd want to be able to dispatch them quickly. Most people that carry out their business by night...are generally presumed to be of questionable nature, too.

However- there's something far more effective than lethal ammunition, for the monsters.

[by-your-leave.livejournal.com]

Is that so? [ Fratley tilts his head, questioningly. ] And what is that?

[gaveherwings.livejournal.com]

Concentrated rounds of artificial sunlight. Harmless to humans- but it banishes the creatures of darkness, as if it were day.

...It will probably be some time before ammunition like that is readily accessible to the police force.
