Scottfield Model 3
SCOTTFIELD MODEL 3 (See also REVOLVERS, UNIQUE WEAPONS) A break-action handgun originally patented in Europe around 1858. This gun relies on a hinge pin that joins the receiver and barrel together which can allow the two pieces to be separated for storage and travel. Unhinging the revolver exposes the breech and allows individual bullets to be added to the barrel. An owner who manages their ammo and times their shots can use the Scottfield Model 3 to pin down an opponent with continuous gunfire in a fight.

Yes sir, it was me. Not much use hiding it now since she can still speak. Though I will admit it took you all much longer to catch me. Just what was all my tax money going to?

Constable, have you ever felt a bullet wound? Now I'm not talking about the feeling of getting shot. I'm asking if you've ever let yourself touch one. Let yourself sink your finger into the hole a slug makes and dig around inside. Feel how hot the muscle and fat get to the touch and maybe even feel the prick of broken bone on your fingertip.
It even feels different depending on the person. An athletic young man s muscles tighten around your fingers more than, say, an old woman who needs to use a cane. If you work hard enough you can work your hand right through the arm of a small child, they're easier to make bigger holes into with just your bare hands. And the screams? Well of course a woman makes a lovelier sound, but everyone has a beautiful voice when they're begging for mercy.
You can't really find people willing to let you...experiment the way I want to, and I've been wanting to for a long time. I knew the police would come knocking if I started so I decided to have my fun, the state of Louisiana being what it is. The title and the fascination of the papers was a nice bonus.

You can call it sick all you want, sir. I just know what I like.
