more retarded GW bunnies that will never get anywhere!
Heero: *returning inside house after seeing to safety and snacks of Most Beloved Daughter and young Friends* *wearing a peculiar look of "huh" on face*
Duo: Oh god. *already trying not to smile* What is it this time?
Heero: *thoughtful and slightly bemused* ... Was I the last to know that Daughter had a crush on Her Classmate?
Duo: *SNERKahem* Er. Well. ... Yes. *takes a pondering mitigating expression* I mean... Yes.
Heero: *eyetwitch* By at least several weeks, I take it.
Duo: *snerk, bis repetitae* If by weeks you mean months, sure.
Heero: *... sits in couch* *does most decidedly not flop*
Duo: *snerk, the return of the revenge*
Heero: ... I knew this day would come. *mutter* just not that soon.
Duo: *vaguely mocking shoulder pat* It's just a crush. You've got at least, oh, five years before it becomes anything else.
Heero: *slowly looks up in Duo's face* *stare* In five years she will be thirteen.
Duo: Yeah, so?
Heero: *... does not flop. not!* *instead he massages the bridge of his nose*
Duo: *still valiantly trying not to laugh his ass off*
Heero: *... quiet, incredulous chuckle*
Duo: *slow blink and mock-worry* Okay, you're worrying me.
Heero: Hah. *look of "dude, I'm worrying me".* I'm a logical person. *pause*
Duo: ... yeeeah, I think we can say that...
Heero: I've read parenting books.
Duo: *good-humored eyeroll* Just a few dozens.
Heero: *very patient, logical tone* I know the best thing to do is to make sure she is properly informed, has access to contraceptives, and knows we will not judge her for her choices, so she doesn't use promiscuity as a form of rebellion and doesn't need to look for male attention and validation through sex. And if she chooses to have sex anyway, there is nothing wrong with that, as long as she keeps herself safe.
Duo: Yeeeees?
Heero: *massages the bridge of his nose. massage massage.*
Duo: *gentle elbow jab of love in the ribs*
Heero: My first thought was "sawn-off shotguns don't have enough long-range accuracy."
Duo: *DISSOLVES into laughter*
Heero: *rueful, almost silent chuckles, eyes closed, shoulders shaking with laughter*
Duo: *tries to breathe* *looks at Heero* *fails*
Heero: *siiiigh* *can't help "what the hell, self" smile*
Duo: *bwahahahahaha* *wheeze* ... Congrats, daddy, it's a girl.
Heero: *grumbles* It's so illogical!
Duo: It is. *u_______________u*
Heero: She's smart enough not to choose an asshole. He's a nice kid.
Duo: *snrrrk*
Heero: She's eight. He's eight.
Duo: *pffffhahahahaha*
Heero: *groan*
Duo: *comforting arm around his shoulder* *still chuckling quietly* Whaddya know, I guess it's just paternal instinct.
Heero: It's primitive and illogical.
Duo: Instinct.
Heero: *sighs and smiles a little* I guess I can live with paternal instinct. *pause* And a good rifle.
Duo: *smiles at* *almost innocently* Nah, the shotgun's reload action is totally better for intimidation purposes.

With a bolt-action rifle you lift a lever, pull the bolt back toward yourself (ejecting a spent casing if you have fired previously), a new shell feeds into the bolt from a magazine, and you return the bolt to the forward position and lower the level. The arm motion ends up being very similar to the pump action. With practice you can do it pretty damned quick too and you get a complicated ratchetting sound.
Lever-action has a different motion, moving a lever down and forward, rather than the backward motion of the pumps and bolts.
All of them are damned scary from the wrong end. :D
According to Wiki there are pump-action rifles (and bolt-action shotguns), though for some reason the general association is pumps for shotguns and bolts for rifles.
I'd say my gun knowledge is the product of being American but really it's more likely to be because I've lived with people that collect and/or regularly use guns. Disregarding two years in college there's always been someone in the household that has experience with guns (including my grad school roommate).
There's nothing quite like going up to you housemate and saying "I need an art reference for a Remington whatever-the-fuck-it-was sniper rifle" and instead of being handed a copy of Gun Digest open to the right page you get handed the rifle. O.o
