Couldn't see where he ran because of the smoke. We found some blood where he was standing when I shot him. But nothing else, and we never found him.

Now this guy had already told me he used the gun only one weekend per year. But I hadn't seen the contents of the dry-box yet. Taking a wild guess I said, "I'll bet you were using three pellets and a Powerbelt, and shot him in the shoulder."

His eyes got big and round and he said, "How the hell did you know that?"
