IV. Read the questions below and find the answers in the film:

Was martial art of Grammaton clerics, also known as The Gun Katas, a generations’ inheritance or was it just mechanical computer calculations of movements?

V. Discuss the following question in pairs or groups of threes using your active vocabulary:

How would you characterise Gun Katas? Is it a sci-fi invention or it is based on real life?

Dupont: The Gun Katas. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The Gun Kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the Gun Katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.

Mary: Without love... breath is just a clock... ticking.
