Lt. Taylor gives the best presents.
Here's a quick run down on using a gun. Treat it like it is loaded and ready to fire at all times, even if you're sure it isn't. Don't point the gun at anything you don't intend to destroy.
That's a semi-automatic with either a hammerless design or a shrouded hammer, either of which make it ideal for carrying your pocket. The lever under the barrel, above the trigger, is probably a cocking safety. You need to flip it before you can fire the gun, and to safe the gun you need to lower it.
The assembly in front of the trigger, under the barrel, is either a laser sight, or a flashlight, or both.
The trigger extends out far enough that the gun may be a traditional double action design. In that case your first trigger pull will feel quite heavy, and will actually cock the internal hammer of the gun before it fires. Subsequent trigger pulls will be lighter because the hammer will have been cocked by the mechanical action of the slide moving back as the spent shell is ejected. If it is a double action trigger, then you don't need to mess with the cocking safety before you fire it. Just pull the trigger and it should fire. If you want to have a lighter trigger pull on the first shot (which is important if you want that first shot to be as accurate as possible) then cock the internal hammer with the cocking safety.
The magazine release is probably on the bottom of the magazine well, which is in the pistol grip. It may be a little stiff, be prepared to press hard on it to get it to release the magazine in the well.
Judging by the size of the magazines and the size of the ejection port, the pistol's magazines likely hold 8 shots, though if they're zig-zag stacked it may be 14 or so instead.
The sights on the gun will probably be zeroed for 50 to 100 meters. Impossible to know without a little range time, but just keep in mind your shots won't be as accurate past 50 meters or so. The sights look like blade sights, which are fast to bring on target but not as accurate as ring sights or more complicated optics. Be prepared to fire two or three shots in quick succession to compensate.
Guns are loud. A gun in an enclosed space is even louder. If you value your hearing, seek earplugs or other hearing protection.
Shells will eject from the gun to your right, so be aware of that if you have a friend on your right side or you try to fire the gun left-handed. A hot piece of brass in your face is no laughing matter.
Since you're aboard a space vessel, the bullets are probably going to be frangible rounds. Don't bother trying to shoot through cover more substantial than a curtain, the bullet will just break up against the cover. On the upside, frangible rounds are very devastating against unarmored enemies. If you have to fight armored enemies, aim for unarmored areas or use your TK power.
The little bottle and brushes are the cleaning kit. Keep it, if the gun gets crap in it you'll want to be able to clean it out later.
Remember, everything you're going to be fighting is not people. Not anymore.
