During a weapons trial, Teams 1 and 2 fire ten rounds each under General Llyod's supervision. Team 1 lands four rounds in range but fails to destroy the target; Stanley of Team 2 scores three hits that are destroyed—both teams miss by miles. Officers blame Cosnar's design and mock Team 3 as worse than Mr. Burton. When commanders push to punish Team 3 for dodging the test, a Team 3 member demands a chance to prove themselves. Doubt about that kid grows and Mr. Culley is summoned, leaving Team 3 facing immediate punishment.
