Commissar Rax was completely unsatisfied with the waveskimmers' hangar inspection. The constant use of watercrafts' repulsorlifts wasted a lot of precious energy. He decided to invest in special racks on which the speeders could stand while not operating.

After the inspection the Commissar went to the stormtrooper training center. He started with the shooting gallery, where stormtroopers, willing to become snipers, learned basic marksman skills.

One particular stormtrooper caught his attention. The guy shot just like the canon fodder from Republican propaganda pieces - he missed every shot. Sure, the small targets were quite hard to hit, moreover, they were blending with the black background, while the DLT-19 rifle didn't have advanced optics - but the stormtrooper helmet's enhanced vision should have solved this problem. 

Rax ordered Kuzy and Grosh to stay and went down to talk with the unfortunate trooper.

- Hello there! - he said cheerfully, - What's your number?

- Ah?.. TK-419, sir... I mean, Comrade the Political Director... - the stormtrooper's filtered voice sounded nervous.

- Having trouble with your helmet, TK-419? - the Commissar asked.

- What? Er, no, the helmet is just fine... I think I've got a little weapon malfunction, but everything is under control, I'm fine, yeah... How are you?..

The Commissar wasn't grinning anymore.

- Please give me your weapon, TK-419, - he said grimly.

The stormtrooper handed his DLT-19 to the Commissar. The latter held it in his right hand, aimed and shot...

...But nothing happened!

- Hmm... Now I see the problem, - Rax said before anyone could decide what to think of it, - how about that...

He fired three rapid blasts, and all three targets were hit!

- Here is your weapon, - the Commissar said, returning the rifle to the now completely lost trooper, - and from now report every malfunction to superiors. But you should be able to fight despite any weapons failure. As Field marshal Cody once said: "There are no bad weapons, only bad shooters!"

- Sir, - Captain Kuzy said, while they were walking away, - should we start a new propaganda campaign? "Shoot like Rax", how does it sound?

- Maybe... But not now, - the Commissar remarked, - I am not such an authority figure yet... 

The training center's holographic simulation room was awaiting to be inspected...

A smell of the Stalingrad movie there.

Nice shooting range

Great story and the build really accentuates the story here.
I like the range, the only (Tiny!) critique here would be the aerials blend into the tunnel behind it (black on black) if you could have built the tunnel so a little more light could illuminate this or if possible different aerial pieces. 
However, these aerials as targets works incredibly well and not something I've seen before. Great original idea

Thank you for good criticism! Sadly, I build better than I take photos. And yes, I am sorry for skipping the VR room episode. Maybe I'll return to this sometime
