RAINBOW DASH was leaving the quartermaster, her sidearm folded neatly in the quick-draw rig strapped to her side. The design of the rig was such that it unfolded over her shoulder when she pulled a catch, and the gun, an Equestrian Short Rifle, was mounted on a swivel beside her head, so she could point it where she liked. The other option for concealable weaponry was the old solution - a gun mounted to the foreleg, was a bit more awkward to use, having to stand on three legs, but had a larger range of motion. The problem with that was that it was also much less safe, exposing the hoof and wrist to injury from bullets.
