Move to barrel 1 (B1) and engage T2-T3 with two rounds in tactical priority. Move to B2 and engage T1 with two rounds.

Stage 2: Stop picking on the old folk.

Stage 3: 50 years old = half a century

Stage 4: Senile for awhile.
Scenario: You (believe) you are having a conversation with an old fellow WW I veteran, but in fact you are talking to a tree. Four thugs see this and think they can take advantage of you. Show them you've still got some lead in your pencil.
