The Best

  Death tried to take Chuck. Chuck, of course, was Chuck, and kicked Death's ass. However, Chuck over did it. The final roundhouse kick was too much, and Death himself was literally kicked out of existence. Chuck is many things, but dishonorable is not one of them. As such, Chuck took up the mantle of the Grim Reaper for the rest of Time. Moving forward, the scythe? It’s just a fancy training prop. Chuck can harvest souls with a glance and a one-inch punch if he likes. This is not a mourning of a loss, this is an Origin Story. And you found it here first: In the time when mortals whispered the name of Death with dread, a shadow walked the earth that even the void feared.

Rifleman.  noun - "a person skilled at the use of a rifle" The pistol is a tool for daily carry - to prevent others from imposing their will on you. A shotgun is a hunting tool and a home defense tool - and in home defense, it dominates the handgun distance fight. A rifle, however, is different. It is a tool that can be used to impose your will on others. History is filled with examples of force used without moral governance. Therefore, if you are going to be a Rifleman, you must strive to act with righteousness!  A warrior and a Rifleman are not interchangeable terms, though they are often spoken as if they are. The key difference is that a warrior may or may not act in righteousness, depending on to whom he is conscripted.
