It is this author's sincere hope that you never find yourself in need of this book, but as is the nature of our worlds, weaponry can be a necessity.

The Pizle Rifle
The Pizle Rifle is a fine example of biomechanical engineering and a must-have for any aspiring adventurer! The design is available in many ranges, from bass to soprano and features different wood and fur options. Standard PRs are a length many humanoids find similar to other conventional rifles and will weigh anywhere from 3 to 5 pounds (not counting milk sacs.) The PR is characterized by the reciever being a transmogrified singing Pizle rat, complete with the coloration and life of the rat remaining intact so as to allow the rat's hallmark singing to be weaponized. The stock comes in a wide variety of types with modern polymers to traditional walnut, and can be equipped with an auto-milker for the busy consumer. The barrel is finely-tuned and capable of sonic projection variants, such as the lesser known Pizle Blunderbuss. However, for a beginner Pizler I recommend a standard baritone tuning, walnut stock, and standard barrel to remain budget-friendly.
The PR is a versatile weapon due to it not needing a source of ammunition and being able to provide sustenance to its user, but many question its combat effectiveness. These critics have clearly never had to fend off a hungry Alqabuthian sandbug, divert a dense school of lantern koi, or harvest a fresh crop of grollies.
Pizle Rifle Care and Operation
However, your Pizle Rifle must be given proper respect so as to avoid complications. Neglect will cause the soul of the rat to become restless, and cause sonic leaks that are imperceptible without proper equipment. These sonic leaks will lead to improper focusing and can disorient the user as well as the target. In order to avoid this, I reccomend the biweekly application of a Pizle salve. If you cannot seem to locate a salve dispensiary, butterfly nectar will be a suitable replacement until you can acquire a bottle. The older the PR, the more it will grow to trust you, so for young Pizlings I reccomend frequent milking to calm its nerves, as well as provide you with delicious nourishment!
For the operation of the standard PR, the two main components necessary are a sound sample and a scratching behind the ears. The sound sample acts as the ammunition for your rifle, and must be taught to it from its hatching. I reccomend a simple lullaby for novice Pizlers, but a more complex melody can be learned with time.
To fire, ensure you scratch behind its ears. This will elicit the production of the learned sound as well as increase the bond between rifler and rifle.
Pizle Rifles: Where to Buy Them
Pizle Rifles are a fairly common weapon in some worlds, but can be hard to get your hands on for some of our more non-anomalous friends. If one needs any sort of weaponry, this humble weaponsmith can always help.
Directions to My Shop
Go to the northeastern section of the Library and take a left at row 2152. Once you see the vines you're on the right track. Continue barefoot until you step into the Thick Mud. This Mud contains a Way. To perform the Knock, smile for 10 seconds, gargle a cup of goat's milk for 5 seconds, and pour it over yourself. Once you can no longer see from the milk, rub your eyes clear and you will have fallen through to my humble store, where you may peruse my wares. Prices are not fixed and are run off of a barter system. Enjoy your visit!
