Reborn in America: I Have an Equipment Slot

Chapter 160 The Instrument for Equalizing All Beings

"Sir, what kind of firearm are you looking to buy? A rifle or a pistol? Do you have a preferred type? Would you like me to recommend one?"

Surrounded by four muscular bodyguards in suits and sunglasses, the gun shop owner's eyes lit up, thinking to himself that a big customer had arrived, and he greeted him with great enthusiasm.

Irving didn't answer, but instead walked around the counter with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the densely packed array of firearms on the counter, Owen pondered for a moment before turning to the shop owner and asking, "What's your best-selling firearm?"

"Of course it's the Springfield, which just came out this year!" The gun shop owner quickly gestured to the clerk next to him to get the gun.

He then took the gun and began to explain it to Owen: "This Springfield short rifle has a very futuristic design and can handle complex defense scenarios. It uses very inexpensive 9mm pistol ammunition. Although its long-range power is average, its rate of fire is good. More importantly, this gun can be equipped with extended magazines, suppressors, and various other tactical accessories, making it easy to achieve suppressive fire."

Irving took the short rifle, his eyes lighting up.

He fell in love with the gun at first sight.

Not only is the gun very lightweight, but more importantly, it looks cool and is very suitable for carrying.

To be honest, the main reason he chose to come to the gun shop to buy a batch of guns was for his own safety.

Although he easily thwarted the Blood Gang's assassination attempt last time.

But no one can predict what the future holds.

For his own safety, Irving decided to pay for a new batch of weapons and equipment for O'Neal and others himself.

Although pistols are portable, they are certainly far inferior to rifles and submachine guns in terms of power and firepower.

However, most rifles and submachine guns are rather bulky and inconvenient to carry.

This new short rifle from Springfield Armory perfectly solves that problem.

Irving carefully examined the short rifle in his hand, nodded in satisfaction, and then handed it to O'Neal, asking for his opinion, "What do you think, O'Neal? What do you think of this gun?"

Unlike Irving, O'Neal was very knowledgeable about firearms. He took the gun, glanced at it, nodded, and said, "Not bad."

"This gun was designed in Croatia and manufactured by the Springfield Armory. People in the industry call it the 'Big Handgun,' nicknamed 'Pine Sable,' and some people call it 'Kuna.'"

I remember that the prototype of this gun was designed as an anti-terrorist submachine gun, using a roller locking system and .40 S&W caliber. It seems that a few months ago it beat the B&T APC40 and Steyr M40 to win a contract with the São Paulo Military Police, the largest police force in Brazil.

However, the version of this gun sold in the US market is a semi-automatic version, only in 9mm caliber. The one you're selling seems to have had accessories added?

"That's right, buddy!" Seeing O'Neal's expertise, the gun shop owner looked surprised. "You can even tell? The 'Squirrel' model I sell is the one with the StrikeIndustries side-folding stabilizer. There are two prices: $999 and $1149. The version with the second price is 394mm long when folded and 622mm when the stabilizer is extended. It can be used in both states—"

Upon hearing the gun shop owner's price, O'Neal nodded, then looked at Irving. "The price is reasonable. To be honest, if it were just the standard version, this gun would look like a large handgun. Now that it has accessories, it's actually more practical and looks better."

"OK! This gun is the one!" After hearing O'Neal's opinion, Irving nodded, then immediately made the decision: "Boss, give me twenty of these 'Pine Sable' top-of-the-line versions!"

"Also, give me 30 extended magazines for this gun, and a suppressor—"

"Twenty...twenty guns?!" The gun shop owner looked up at Irving. "Are you kidding me?"

"Twenty 'Pine Marten' rifles plus extended magazines would cost at least twenty thousand US dollars, are you sure?"

"Are you sure? Don't you have that much stock in your store?" Owen asked doubtfully.

"Yes...yes! I just didn't expect you to buy so many at once—" The gun shop owner looked incredulous.

To be honest, despite having hundreds of different types of firearms on display at his gun shop, he only sells about a dozen guns a day.

Moreover, most of the customers who come to the store buy handguns.

He hasn't encountered a big customer like Kyrie Irving who buys 20 at once in a long time.

Thinking of the profit from this order, the gun shop owner was overjoyed and quickly signaled to the shop assistant next to him to get the goods.

"Sir, you have excellent taste. Besides the explanation, is there anything else you need?"

Seeing Irving's gaze sweep towards the tactical equipment section, the gun shop owner quickly bowed and led Irving to the equipment area, introducing, "You've bought 20 guns at once, exceeding $2 in transaction amount, perfectly meeting our store's VIP requirements."

Gold card requirements.

"How about this, since it's your first time visiting our store, I can give you a 20% discount if you buy any other tactical gear today, how about that?"

"20% off?" Irving's eyes lit up immediately when he heard about the discount.

Looking at the densely packed array of combat uniforms, combat boots, helmets, bulletproof vests, and other equipment in the equipment area, he immediately began to select.

Before long, he spotted a camouflage bulletproof vest that looked to be of good quality and touched it.

"You have excellent taste!"

Upon seeing this, the gun shop owner immediately spoke up enthusiastically: "This I0TV bulletproof vest is made of special material, the same type used by the military, and can withstand a frontal attack from an AK47 bullet within 50 meters!"

Even at a distance of 50 meters, it can significantly reduce the power of rifle bullets.

As for pistol bullets, they can be easily protected against —”

Seeing that Owen was interested, the gun shop owner immediately put on a bulletproof vest, then had his clerk bring him a Sig Sauer P266 pistol. He took a few steps back, patted his chest, and confidently said, "If you don't believe me, you can try it. This vest can easily defend against pistol bullets—"

"Really?!" Seeing the shop owner's confidence, Owen gradually became bolder.

He picked up a pistol, aimed it at the shop owner's chest, and fired several shots.

Bang bang bang! !

As the gunshot rang out, Irving immediately stepped forward.

Seeing that the bullets he had just fired with his Sig Sauer P266 pistol hadn't even penetrated the outer layer of his body armor, his eyes immediately lit up: "This body armor is pretty good. How much?"

"This I0TV bulletproof vest officially retails for $3000, but if you're really interested, I can give you a 20% discount, so you can get it for only $2400!"

Seeing that Irving was interested, the gun shop owner immediately displayed his shrewd business acumen, saying, "Would you like to consider a matching helmet? This matching bulletproof helmet is made of the same material as the bulletproof vest, and it can easily protect against pistol bullets, and also provides good protection against most rifle bullets..."

This helmet costs $700 on its own!

However, if you buy a set, including the bulletproof vest, I'll only charge you $3000!

Buy 5 sets or more, and I can give you dozens more boxes of 9mm bullets... What do you think?

"A complete set would cost $3000?" Irving frowned, did some rough calculations, and after a long while, finally made up his mind: "Okay! Give me five sets, but you also have to throw in an M4 assault rifle, the kind that can be equipped with tactical accessories."

Upon hearing Irving's request, the gun shop owner instinctively wanted to shake his head and refuse.

An M4 rifle costs around $1200, and that's for the semi-automatic version. If you convert it to a fully automatic version, the price will be even higher.

Earning less money is secondary; the main problem is that selling fully automatic rifles is against the law, and if he gets caught and reported, he'll have to pay at least a large fine.

But considering that Irving had purchased nearly $40,000 worth of guns and equipment in one go, contributing to the gun shop's revenue for more than ten days by himself, the gun shop owner did not want to offend Irving, such a big customer.

After hesitating for a while, stroking his chin, the gun shop owner finally made up his mind, "It's possible, but let's make it clear first, you can't report me."

The gun shop owner sighed and deliberately played the victim, saying, "A few months ago, I sold a batch of fully automatic rifles to a big customer, but we got reported, fined a lot of money, and the shop almost went out of business—"

"Don't worry! I definitely won't do such a thing," Irving assured him.

Seeing that the other party was so agreeable, Owen glanced at the red dot sights hanging in the equipment area and tentatively asked, "But I've already bought so much stuff, could you give me a few more sights?"

As soon as he finished speaking, to Owen's surprise, the gun shop owner immediately waved his hand after hearing this.

"I'm sorry, but it's impossible to give you a red dot sight for free," the gun shop owner said firmly. "The red dot sights in our store aren't ordinary sights. Even the cheapest one, made by Vorte. Optics, costs over $700. We simply can't give it to you for free."

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Owen frown slightly in displeasure, the gun shop owner quickly added, "However, I can give you a few regular scopes; see which brand you prefer."

As the gun shop owner spoke, he gestured to his employee to bring over a few samples.

Irving quickly selected a scope sight that looked to be of decent quality.

After selecting all the items, Irving then signaled to the shopkeeper to pay the bill.

Standing to the side, O'Neal watched as Irving showed no remorse whatsoever, spending nearly $40,000 to buy twenty "Pine Marten" short rifles, plus five sets of bulletproof vests and helmets, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It's nice to have money!

He's been working in this industry for almost eight years, and he still can't bear to buy such a good bulletproof vest.

While O'Neal was still in a daze, Irving took out his bank card and swiped it to pay the bill.

Seeing the gun shop owner enthusiastically deliver the purchased equipment and firearms to the RV, Owen felt much more at ease and had a better grasp of the Blood Gang's assassination attempt that night.
