Jim rushes back inside, grabbing the new recruit on his way to the armory. They return, laden with various projectile weapons; the newbie is carrying most of them in his arms while Jim guides him back out to the battlefield.

They get back outside just in time to see Hellboy take a run at one of the things, and be flung away. He mutters an oath under his breath, letting go of the guy he was dragging to draw a handgun. He fires several rounds as he advances on the creature.

...And is promptly knocked back on his ass for his efforts.

...Fifteen feet from where he took the hit.
