Reborn in America: I Have an Equipment Slot

"No, buddy, this is a pawn shop, not an arms dealer!" We couldn't hold back when we saw the pile of miscellaneous guns in front of us.

"Just tell me if you'll take these things or not." The leader of the group of thugs didn't say much, and directly pulled an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle out of a package, skillfully ejecting the magazine with two clicks, revealing the bright orange bullets inside.

This rifle is a bestseller in the United States, and its military version is even more famous in the world. It is the world's first mass-produced small-caliber assault rifle, the M-16.

Irving recalls that last July, Donald was shot while speaking at a campaign rally, and the gunman who attacked him, Thomas Crooks, used the same AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.

"Aren't you afraid of being checked by the police while carrying so much weaponry?" Owen asked, taking the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle from the child and examining it.

"Those white people are busy chasing away homeless people on the street right now, they don't have time to care about us for the time being."

The burly black man at the head grinned. "Besides, I'm not afraid even if I really run into them."

He then pulled an ID card out of his pocket and flung it aside. The first thing that caught his eye was a green, six-pointed star badge, followed by a headshot of a burly black man with the name "Scott Morgan" written on it.

Morgan flashed a bright white smile. "Look, my friend, I have a legal gun license!"

Irving took the gun license, glanced at it, and couldn't help but sigh.

The person who invented this gun permit was truly a genius. With this permit, civilians could legally possess firearms, a privilege granted by the imperial court.

However, there are restrictions on gun licenses, namely that you can only purchase semi-automatic weapons.

However, while fully automatic firearms are prohibited in the United States, bump triggers are not. A bump trigger can be bought online for only $7, and with a few spare parts, it can be easily modified from semi-automatic to fully automatic.

Even more outrageous, some gun models can be converted from semi-automatic to fully automatic weapons simply by replacing the stock with a specially made bump shot.

So this rule is basically no different from taking off your pants to fart.

While Irving was examining the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle in his hand, Morgan then pulled a Luger LCP pistol out of his bag.

There were also some loose gun parts in plastic bags, about five or six bags in total. Each bag was individually sealed, and it looked like the loose parts in each bag could be assembled into a pistol.

The Luger LCP pistol sells better than the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.

After all, compared to heavy rifles, most people buy guns primarily for self-defense. The Ruger LCP pistol has a compact and short barrel, only the size of a palm, and a magazine that can hold six bullets. It is suitable for carrying with you in a waist bag or holster, or for storing in a car's glove compartment, so that it can be retrieved at any time in case of danger.

Irving put down his AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, reached for the Luger LCP pistol, and examined it curiously.

Although he was a little surprised at first, he soon felt nothing special because the other party had taken out just too many.

"Hey guys, to be honest, if you want to sell all these guns, you shouldn't come here. You should go to those gun shops. I remember they also buy and sell used handguns, and they'll get much better prices than I do..." Owen said seriously as he discussed prices with the group.

Before he could finish speaking, Morgan shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I know that selling secondhand guns to gun shops is definitely the best option, but the problem is that we have too many guns to sell this time. If we go to gun shops, they definitely won't dare to take them, and it's too troublesome to sell them in small quantities."

"Okay, boss, give us an estimate for these items first, and we'll hear the prices before making a decision."

Seeing this, Irving could only shrug and begin to estimate the value.

Since the other party was determined to sell, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Fortunately, I'm still a little short of progress before I can complete the quest for the [Ancient Silver Scales] equipped on the panel and permanently obtain the skill.

Irving was naturally happy to do something that allowed him to both earn money and complete his mission.

Irving carefully examined the guns, then took out his phone and checked their condition and prices on a professional gun collecting platform. He then placed his hands on the counter and offered his price to Morgan and the others:

"These AR-15 semi-automatic rifles look to be in average condition, with varying degrees of wear on the muzzle and receiver. Based on market prices, I can offer $360 each."

As for these Luger LCP pistols, since they are all spare parts, the price is lower; I can only offer $180 per pistol…”

Before Irving could finish speaking, Morgan waved his hand to interrupt, "Alright, you don't need to go into so much detail. Just tell us the total price of all these things and what your offer is."

Irving did the mental calculations for a few seconds, then gave the price: "Five AR-15 semi-automatic rifles at $360 each, plus twelve unassembled Luger LCP pistols, totaling $3960."

"$3960?! No, that's far too little!" Morgan frowned upon hearing the price.

Several burly black men behind him also spoke up.

"Our target price is $6000, and you've already slashed it to $3960. Do you think your offer is reasonable?"

"Exactly! Even if these guns were sold individually, they wouldn't be this cheap!"

"Morgan, let's go, we're not selling here anymore!"

Several burly black men were quite indignant.

"To be honest, considering you're regular customers, I've already given you a very high price," Irving patiently explained.

"Take a look for yourselves. These five AR-15 semi-automatic rifles are in very poor condition, showing obvious signs of being secondhand. If you look closely, you can see the internal structure and triggers; some are already rusted. And these unassembled Gru LCP pistols are all parts. If you can assemble them, I might consider raising the price for you..."

Upon hearing the explanation, Morgan gestured for his companions to be quiet.

Then he turned to Irving with a helpless expression, "Okay, how about you add some more money, $5000?"

$3800.

"???"

Upon hearing that Irving's offer had decreased instead of increased, Morgan instantly turned furious, shouting, "You just offered $3960!"

Irving remained unfazed, then removed a magazine from an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle placed in front of him. "You see, I didn't check carefully enough just now, but judging from the scratches and stains on the magazine, these five AR-15 semi-automatic rifles might have other problems. If you drag this out any longer and I find other issues, the price will continue to drop..."

As he spoke, Owen took out a magnifying glass and began to scrutinize the five AR-15 semi-automatic rifles in front of him, finding fault with them.

With Irving about to lower the price again, Morgan and his team, who desperately needed the money, immediately felt overwhelmed and were on the verge of collapse.

"Come on, I'm not selling anymore!"
