There's a Tesla coil on the target range.
--No, no, don't panic, it's not there in the same mysterious manner the unexploded nuke was. It's also smallish as Tesla coils go, but that's partly because Claudia didn't want to overtax Bar (she just got back in business, after all) and partly because she had to haul the thing out to the target range herself.
Still, smallish as it is, it should work fine for what she needs - and what she needs is a proof of concept.
She turns the coil on and sets the Tesla she's been working on to a lower setting - not one they use in the field a lot, but one that gets two or three shots off in normal circumstances. Once the coil's booted up, she fires off the shots as quickly as she can, given that Teslas have a hell of a kick to them.
...So yeah, that's a fair bit of lightning goin' on there.
