So Katrina Kashnikov ,a 35 year old Russian Wich Gunfighter,got sick and tired
of all those dirty minded Yanks sneaking around her cabin in the woods.
She wasn't quite as powerful as
Baba Yaga,and didn't have a hut that could walk around on chicken legs
but she did fairly well as a maker of love potions
and during the Crimean War between her country and Britain,had been trained as a Special Forces operative
who could use both those witchy potions and had been trained
as a sniper who could use the Enfield rifle
which she prefered as a snper rifle to anything
her native country could make.
That had been 11 years ago ( 1852) and as Katrina rode through Abilene (1863) she could see
the Unin and Confederate troops glaring
at each another from taverns on opposite
sides of the street.
After 11 years she still preferred her British made
Enfield muzzleloader and carried it strapped
to her back.
There were certainly faster loading and firing weapons out
there but none surpassed the
Enfield for deadly accuracy.
Though she'd never tested his claim,the Russian seargent who'd trained her 11 years
earlier claimed he'd once used his Enfield to shoot a squirrel out of a tree
from a mile away.
