Module 9 - Choosing the Right Gun for Your Character.
1 Lesson -
The CRIME FICTION GUNS course is designed specifically for authors and screenwriters that have zero-experience with guns. I created this course to give crime-fiction writers like you a safe and welcoming place to learn the basics of how firearms & ammunition work and to learn about the investigative techniques we in law enforcement use when firearms or ammunition are seized as evidence.
What you will learn in this course will help you craft accurate dialogue and realistic scenes in your stories where guns and ammo are involved, while simultaneously avoiding the errors that many readers will feel obiligated to comment on if you don't know what you're writing about.
If you have never held a gun in your life, then you are in the right spot. If you are feeling nervous, trust me when I say you are amongst friends here. We'll get you feeling confident about all of this in no time.
We will start with learning about ammunition. After all, without ammunition, a gun is really just a really expensive paperweight. You will learn how ammunition works and what all the associated terminology actually means.
From there, we will literally break down handguns, shotguns, and rifles. You'll learn how the weapons function from the inside out, what they feel like (as best as can be described in an online course 😉) and how they are used.
Finally, we will cover how we can use firearms and ammunition as evidence toward proving which round was fired from which firearm.
Most lessons include printable PDFs for quickly referencing the key points of each lesson (perfect for keeping within arms reach in your favorite writing nook.)
