Saya's new weapon was rather simple to use, all the better for understanding it. The addition of the steel cylinder only added another half pound or so to her left arm, but it kept the inner workings well protects. A single cut out ran most of the length of the tube, allowing for the spring to be drawn back. Saya wraps her fingers tightly around the ball that was attached to the arm extending from the end of the spring and pulled it back hard. She was slightly suprised at the force required, but still managed to lock it in place with no trouble.

She turns to the box on the counter beside her, opening it up and marveling at the shiney new darts. Each was a steel spike about eight inches long, the tips of which were arrow sharp. She grins to herself as she pushes the spike into the fitted opening at the end of the steel tube, and slid it in untill it clicked into place. She smiles just slightly more the simple weapon already loaded and ready to use.

She levels her arm easily towards a target in the distance and brings her right hand upwards, pressing her palm against the ball she'd cocked backwards. With a little click the locking mechanism disengages and the spring is released, shooting the spike forward with great velocity. It lodges itself easily in a ring shaped target some twenty feet from her, sinking in almost to it's end. She reloads it quickly, and prepares for more. She bought a box of ten steel spikes, and would go through them ten times, perfecting her aim, and testing the durability of the spring. After 100 shots she's got the new weapon well broken in, and reloading to art.
