The man brushed his head back with the direction of the pistol whip to lessen the impact of the blow. Knowing that he won't be making use of his sword anytime soon, the man tossed his pistol into the air and quickly slid his palm along the sharp side of his blade. A gout of blue flame spewed forth from the wound. It shot towards the General and at this distance would most likely scorch his eyes and any exposed skin. Not waiting to see the results the man grabs the barrel of AJ's flintlock and puts his thumb between the hammer of the pistol. Even though it was semi-automatic, this would test if the weapon still relied on its hammer mechanism.
