"It's loud because inside the shiny cylinder, an explosion pushes a bit of metal through the barrel. As the gases from the explosion come out the barrel, so does the noise. It can be quietened with a suppresser, but there are very few truly silent guns."
"Why not swords? can you throw swords thousands of..." Ricardo pauses as he works out a unit Zapp would understand, "paces? Thousands and thousands of steps? Even if you could, you would exhaust yourself quickly. can you throw one-thousand-two-hundred swords every minute? Why can't guns shoot swords? Swords are a bad shape for guns. You can't fit a sword down a barrel and nor are they aerodynamic or stable projectiles like bullets are."
"The noise is also a reason to wear your helmet as it automatically dampens noise above a certain level of decibels."
Ricardo steps into a firing booth and pops targets as they pop up. "I've had years of training as an Akras security officer, so you probably won't be able to hit anything as often or accurately as me or my fellow Terrans who have training." Even that said, the spread of his bullets are tight but not perfect. As another target pops up, he lapses into Spanish (which is automatically translated), "Dos balas en el pecho." Two bullets ripped open holes in the chest of the paper figure. "Entonces uno en la cabeza" a hole appears in the head of the paper figure
((Two bullets in the chest... then one in the head.))
