"Sounds good to me. If we're lucky perhaps they'll take off after you pick one or two of them off. Viper gangers are massive assholes, but they aren't complete maniacs like a lot of other raiders are.", Leena whispers to you before giving you a good luck pat on the back. She crouch walks about a twenty further down the rise from you, taking cover behind a gnarled tree and keeping out of sight. "We'll stay hidden on your flanks Joy. If any of them charge and manage to get close, me and Leena will pop up and cover you. We'll try to make your bullets count. Would rather not waste them from firing all the way over here.", Tessa says, before going the opposite way that Leena does, taking cover behind a rather large boulder, but keeping low and trying to peek through the taller grass to keeps tabs on what the Viper gang members are doing.
With your companions waiting to give you close range back up if you need it you crawl forward again, moving nice and slow. Its fortunate the sun is to your back at the moment, as it definitely makes your already hard to detect movements even harder to spot. That, and unlike Tessa your fur colours blended in far better with the environment then hers did. The Viper Gangers seemed to be completely relaxed however. It would seem they might have been here a while without getting attacked, and were perhaps used to doing the attacking. They'd let their guard down, which made it easier for you to get nice and comfortable as you line up your first shot. You don't need that much time though, as for a hunting rifle the range was relatively short, but the lighting was good and wind minimal. After about ten seconds you steady your breathing, then with one final exhale fire.
Your rifle kicks, a loud bang filling the air that is accompanied by the muzzle flash of your rifle. By the time the raiders hear the shot though its already far too late for the smoking raider against the prewar building. Your bullet slams right into his forehead and there is an explosion of blood as you blow the top oh his head clean off in a gory mess. The raider crumples into a heap, his death instant, a shotgun falling down from behind him where it has leaned against the wall. You don't dwell on that though. Even as you watch the man fall to the ground your already working the bolt on your rifle, pulling it back and ejecting a steaming brass casing before pushing it forward to cycle another round and locking it back in place. Changing your point of aim you aim down to the trio at the campfire, all of which are quite spooked but for the moment seem frozen. You don't take as much time to aim this time before firing again, but your aim is true. This time your shot hits the next one dead center in his unarmoured chest. He goes down unmoving in a heap next to the fire, while the other all begin to swear and move.
Noticing your muzzle flash after your second shot, one of the raiders pulls out a pistol and begins to fire wildly in your direction, but being so far away with a side arm the bullets fall short of you. The second however pulls out a 10mm SMG much to your surprise, and just sprays a long burst of bullets in your direction. Regrettably by some small miracle from them one of the bullets actually hits you, an explosion of pain hitting you as a bullet slams into your left shoulder. Gasping you pull back slightly, getting back into cover as the raider continues to shoot in your direction, using his ammo in an effort to keep you from popping back up and aiming easily. You give yourself a quick check, opening your duster and expecting to see a bloody mess, however what you see shocks you greatly. Your shoulder is fine, or at least, looks fine. You prod it and clench your teeth a little as a flare of pain hits you from poking what is no doubt a large bruise, but otherwise your completely intact! You almost wonder if was a bullet that hits you, but your rather confident it was when you notice the bullet hole in your duster's shoulder, the damage thankfully not effecting it's ability to be worn. You can even confirm it a second later though when you actually fish the bullet out from the inside of your duster, the metal slug squashed flat where it hit you. Seems the transformation really did include more then just canine features and bigger tits! The memory is fuzzy, but you do idly recall laying on a table and doctors discussing a wide assortment of features before you woke up in the testing room.
Another burst of bullets from the SMG wielding ganger though reminds you that you can think about such things later though. You shimmy down some to change your position, then pop back up to try and take the ganger out. You aim as fast you can, and you can see the ganger spot you and shift his aim, but you manage to fire first despite his attempts to suppress you and shoot true. Like the second one you get him right through the heart and he drops like a sack of potatoes, slumping over a crude barricade that made up one of the short waist high walls of the right wooden shelter. "Jesus Joy! Hell fucking yeah!", Tessa says from your left.
