The soldier raises his rifle, but the ninja swings the sword at him, cutting his arm. The soldier drops his rifle. He bends down to pick it up, but the ninja swings the sword again, striking him in the leg.
1. Is 'cutting his arm' perfect here if the ninja hits the soldier with the sword so that the soldier gets a cut in his arm?
2. Is it clear enough that the soldier 'drops' the rifle because he gets hit in the arm or is should I use another word than 'drops' for that?
3. Is 'striking him in the leg' OK?
Thanks.
