Snippet #2604044

Star watched from a distance her rifle steady. Sites aimed at an american's head. It didn't matter it they were from the same country, her paycheck said otherwise. She softly squeezed the trigger. That releases the hammer which in turn hits the cap. That ignites the fire. A small explosion. The bullet comes out of the barrel at the speed of 1,700 mph. There was no boom. Only a click. The soldier's head exploded like a melon. She knew it was the target. And she had the proof to say it was. The gun was ready for another shot.
