[ Steve will already be there when Mako arrives, having set up a crude target range - an impressively thick snow mound, more like a short wall, with a handful of smaller, raised sections that a few empty cans are perched on.
[Guns are officially heavier than they look, which is why Mako's got it strapped to his back over his winter cloak. But his shoes crunching in the snow stop when he sees the wall of snow.]
Wow. How long did it take you to set this up? [This could easily be a day's work, and there's only one waterbender he knows of. And Steve isn't it.]
[ He greets Mako with a nod and a small shrug. ] Not that long. Got a lot of practice on one of those team building exercises. [ ... something like that. It's time well spent, anyway, to avoid getting anyone else wandering out here shot. The snow and ice is packed deep enough to stop. He brushes some snow off his gloves and starts walking over to meet Mako. ] So - we're gonna actually want to set up pretty far away. [ Inclines his head and keeps on walking. ] And we'll be setting up on the ground. Need to keep the gun steady as possible.
[ In the snow. ] You watch anyone fire one of these?
[Mako can only guess just what the officer in charge of Steve's team have been having them do. Giving a curious look as he passes, Mako gives one last look at the wall before following in suite.]
No, not yet. Blue Team doesn't have the biggest use for guns, but I can probably tell you more about the animals here more than I'd care to. [Every once in a while Mako looks behind him, watching the snow wall shrink with each few steps.]
This thing can help see from that far away? [Does that small scope transform into a telescope? Damn.]
[ A nod. ] Snipers are made for taking out targets from long distances. Farther off you get, the more math involved. Also a lot of waiting involved. You really want to get your target in one shot.
[ Fortunately, they aren't that far off. He stops them somewhere on a slightly upward incline from where they started, but flat enough to set up. But basics - ] First rule with any gun is to never hold your finger over the trigger unless you plan on shooting. Can I -
[ He tilts his head at the sniper, meaning for Mako to pass it over to him. Weapons are locked somehow, so Steve won't actually be able to fire it. ]
[Patience. Something Mako had in spades. But it sounds a lot like firebending to him, something he can’t around carelessly. Unless his brother’s in a hot tub being an ass, then it’s fine.]
Go ahead. I’m not sure how to even hold it. [Taking the strap off, he hands it over and tries not to look like he’s keeping a small ways out of what he thinks the potential range of the gun is. Caution’s everything to him when it might involve something dangerous.]
