[It's not quite within his reach, but that's fine, that's what magic is for.
A shimmering blue hand grabs the rifle, and Taako quickly hooks the umbra staff on his belt to free up his hands by the time his mage hand is close enough that he can grab the rifle properly.
He gives himself a second, to adjust to the weight of it and even his breathing, and then he casts mirror image. Three identical Taakos appear around the clearing, all of them holding a rifle. It buys both him and Gamora a little time, since the creatures split up in order to attack all the duplicates.
Taako takes the opportunity it line up a shot, aiming at one of the duplicates because he's expecting a creature to go for it's head. And he's right. The creature teleports almost on top of the duplicate, and Taako takes the shot.
He's very, very grateful for all those lessons on aim, because a bullet find its mark, and one creature goes down.]
Hell yeah!
[And then he promptly gets a sharp set of teeth latched around his calf.
