"The Baske 1945."
Ezra calmly swiped his hand.
The holographic slide shifted, revealing the image of the Baske for everyone in the Council Hall to see.
The familiar shotgun immediately caught the attention of every Gun Alchemist present, especially those in the Binder rank.
Many had used it before.
Some had even suffered because of it.
"The problem with the Baske..."
Ezra began in his usual flat voice.
"...is that it combines the structural body of a shotgun with a rifle-based firing system."
He slowly walked toward the center of the stage as he spoke.
Beside him, Vera dragged another holographic window into existence.
The first displayed the Baske's internal firing mechanism.
The second showed the complete frame of the firearm, separating each major structural component.
"The rifle-style pressure and propulsion system generates tremendous force."
Ezra pointed toward the firing chamber.
"But..."
His finger shifted toward the shotgun frame.
