"That depends on the situation you intend on using it in," she replied. "Handguns are quick to use and concealable, using only one hand to fire, whereas rifles have better range and stopping power, but they have a slower rate of fire, need two hands and are far from concealable. Also, the higher the caliber, the more 'kick' it has, meaning recoil."

Oh, she could talk forever about guns if given the chance. She'd rather be shooting them, but that was neither here nor there.
